How many illegal aliens are present in the U.S. today?
The Editor says...
The Left has been saying there are "11 million" illegal aliens in the U.S. for about 20 years, I would say, based
on my observation of the news media.
[1]
[2]
(It would not surprise me to learn, someday soon, that at least 11 million people have illegally entered the U.S. during
the Biden [*] administration alone.)
Other writers have been commenting about the inexplicably constant "11 million" number for a long time.
William Campenni complained in 2015 that "the 11 million number has been used for more than a decade."
[3]
He wrote in 2021 that "the number has been the same since 2003."
[4]
Ray DiLorenzo says, "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."
[5]
He wrote those words five years ago, and the "11 million" number hasn't budged, even though
immigration has been out of control for years, and as millions more arrive, nobody is leaving.
It would not be at all unreasonable to surmise that there are as many as 11 million illegal aliens in Texas alone.
With "public assistance" widespread and easily available, why would anybody leave? If the Socialist
Democrats give voting rights to millions of welfare parasites, why wouldn't the "migrants" vote for the Socialists?
The news media sticks with the "11 million" number, because low-balling the number makes it
easier to push (on behalf of the Socialist Democrats) the idea of blanket amnesty.
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:
1. Due to dissolved borders
and subsequent backlogs, "asylum" applicants will not receive an asylum claim determination for
1,621 days (four years). That wait time is climbing, and some "asylum" seekers
have been given Notice to Appear letters as far out as ten years!
2. According to the Department
of Justice[,] "49% of all non-detained or removal cases completed in FY 2020 resulted in an
in-absentia order of removal due to an alien's failure to attend a scheduled immigration court
hearing." Add to that number the "gotaways" and you realize that there are tens of millions of
illegal immigrants living a permanent, unlawful existence here.
3. According to
USCIS data, only 31% of affirmative asylum petitions adjudicated in FY 2019 were approved.
Will we expel the other 69%, still entering by the millions? What about those who have been
here for years, some with American-born children? [...]
Considering that 69% of hearings result
in denial of the foreigner's asylum request and nearly half fail to show up for their hearings in
the first place, many illegally entering the country must eventually be deported. But, if the
system continues to incentivize illegal crossings, there can be no accountability for the invasion
openly pushed by the Biden administration. [...] Never is the question asked, "what rights do
native-born Americans possess?" It seems to be that anyone who sneaks across the border has
superior rights and extra protections; this must change.
Media midterm games at
border. More than 4 million people have entered the United States from Mexico under Biden, a record influx
that is larger than the population of every American city except New York. Nearly a million of those crossers
evaded detection, while most others were briefly detained but turned loose because they claimed asylum. After
border agents free them, usually with a court date years into the future, the government provides no services. The
migrants are on their own, with no right to work, making them dependent on charities and their new neighbors in Texas,
Arizona and elsewhere. It's an unbearable weight for border states, with some towns seeing their population grow
by hundreds of people every day. El Paso, Texas, says it gets about 1,400 newcomers each week. Governors,
mayors and residents in those states are beyond frustrated at Washington for causing the problem, then sticking them
with the burden and the bills.
New
York City's Self-Made Migrant Crisis. An immigrant is somebody with job skills
who is willing to learn English if he or she doesn't already know it, and wants to Americanize by
adopting our national values and culture. [...] A migrant is somebody who just walks across
the border the same way a burglar walks into your house, and acts as if he owns the place.
Here is a video of adult migrants in Hungary throwing away food that is given to them by the
police, although the children do appear grateful for the aid. Citizens and legal immigrants
in Texas feel unsafe in their own neighborhoods because of swarms of illegal migrants. The
bottom line is that these migrants would not come if they did not expect to be given more than
emergency food, shelter, and medical care. We don't let people starve or freeze on our streets,
nor do the Hungarians allow people to starve or freeze on theirs either, but taxpayers have no duty
to give them more than basic subsistence until they can be returned to their countries of origin.
Biden
administration rolls out new asylum restrictions mirroring Trump-era policy. The Biden administration
released a new rule Tuesday that largely bars migrants who traveled through other countries on their way to the
US-Mexico border from applying for asylum in the United States, marking a departure from decadeslong protocol. The
new 153-page proposed regulation, which could affect tens of thousands of people, is the most restrictive of a patchwork
of policies put in place by the Biden administration to try and manage the US-Mexico border and is reminiscent of a
Trump-era policy.
10 Steps to Save America.
We no longer have a southern border. There have been 5 million illegal border crossings just since Joe Biden took
office. He intentionally destroyed immigration law for cheap political advantage. Nearly 50 million current
American residents were not born in the United States. Well over 20 million — and perhaps 30 million —
are illegal aliens. [...] Yet we finally found a solution in 2019-2020. Had we continued replacing rickety border fencing
with an effective wall and then completed it along the entire border, had we stopped catch-and-release, had we continued
demanding that refugee status be obtained before entry, had we forced Mexico and Central American governments to stop
exporting human capital and subjected them to taxes on more than $60 billion in annual remittances (along with trade
penalties) for their complicity with the situation at the border, had we continued to deport those who entered
illegally, had we returned to assimilation and integration on the theory any who entered America did so because they
wanted to become Americans, then a desired legal, meritocratic, and diverse immigration policy might easily have
assimilated and absorbed perhaps 200,000 skilled and legal immigrants per year. Again, we had the outlines of a
solution and then simply destroyed it for liberal political agendas and cheap corporate labor.
Hell's
Kitchen public school overwhelmed with 100 migrant kids. More than 100 migrant kids flooded into one
Hell's Kitchen elementary school — swelling class sizes up to 38 students, The [New York] Post has
learned. The children — between 100 and 120 — were among the wave of asylum seekers pouring
into the Big Apple, including on buses from Texas, some staying at a nearby shelter. PS 111 on West 53rd Street
normally has class sizes of 25 to 30. As the classes filled with newcomers, the school wound up sending 15 of the kids
to nearby PS 51, where they were enrolled in "transitional bilingual" classes, according to a PS 111 insider. The
transitional program offers instruction in Spanish half of the year, and then gradually adds English. PS 111
further eased the crunch by starting its own transitional bilingual class, with 15 students. Another roughly 75
students stayed in regular classes, with an hour a day of English-language instruction. Their parents were offered
a choice of which approach to take.
Has
the US Government Declared War on Its Citizens? For more than forty years, Americans have begged the federal
government to put a stop to illegal immigration. Instead, Congress has done nothing but push various forms of amnesty
for those whose first act upon entering this country is to break its immigration laws. Rather than listening to voters
and securing our porous borders, lawmakers have chosen to ridicule Americans as xenophobic for daring to believe that it is
not healthy for the United States to have tens of millions of foreign nationals creating a parallel nation within our
own. Sex-trafficking, narco-terrorism, identity theft, drained public resources, and cultural clashes have all
accompanied a federal government policy that can be described, at best, as intentionally not enforcing existing immigration
law, or at worst, as willfully countermanding enforceable law by aiding and abetting border crossers with promises of social
welfare upon arrival and publicly funded relocation services across the continent. More and more Democrat-controlled
jurisdictions are going so far as to demand that illegal aliens be given the right to vote in elections, effectively
nullifying American citizens' votes with those of citizens of foreign nations.
Are
We in a Revolution and Don't Even Know It? If it is true that two million illegal aliens will cross the
southern border with impunity in the current fiscal year, then the Biden agenda is apparently to help erode the idea of
citizenship and anybody defined as an American. Under the socialist ethos, the indigent in Yucatan and the impoverished
migrant from Nigeria have as much right to enter and live in the United States as U.S. citizens. And their respective
rights under the living Constitution are now nearly identical. In just seven months, our southern border has
vanished. Apparently, it was an artificial construct that obstructed the migrations of the global community. We
are back to a natural, pre-civilizational and Rousseauian idea of freeing migrating tribes from the chains of civilization.
And what better way to start than dispensing with unique borders, citizenship, and the idea of a nation state?
The American Descent
into Madness. Two million people are anticipated to cross the southern border, en masse and illegally,
over a 12-month period. If that absurdity were to continue, we would be adding the equivalent of a major U.S. city
every year. The new arrivals have three things in common: Their first act was to break U.S. law by entering the
country. Their second was to break the law by residing here illegally. And their third will be to find false
identification or other illegal means to continue breaking the law. One does not arrive as a guest in a foreign country
and immediately violate the laws of his host — unless one holds those laws in contempt. Arrivals now cross a
border that had been virtually closed to illegal immigration by January 2021. In the cynical and immoral logic of
illegal immigration (that cares little for the concerns either of would-be legal immigrants or U.S. citizens), arrivals will
be dependent upon the state and thus become constituents of progressives who engineered their arrival. Yet the issue is
not illegal immigration per se. If protests were to continue in Cuba, and 1 million Cubans boated to
Miami, the Biden Administration would stop the influx, in terror that so many anti-Communists might tip Florida red
forever. How strange that the U.S. government is considering going door-to-door to bully the unvaccinated, even as it
ignores the daily influx of thousands from Mexico and Latin America, without worrying whether they are carrying or vaccinated
for COVID-19.
Illegal
immigration: A masterstroke in race-baiting. Our country is being fiercely attacked from within by the
Marxist mob movement. There are several areas of our society it is assaulting to overthrow our constitutional
government. The Democrats in Congress are strongly promoting an open border policy. They understand that large
influxes of illegal aliens could greatly affect the voting outcome of elections. It also would provide for slave labor
for companies, while at the same time lowering the standard of living for the American worker. The catastrophe at our
southwest border with the illegal invasion is immediately eliminating our sovereignty as a nation. We cannot be a free
and independent country without enforceable borders. The Marxists from the White House to the halls of Congress care
nothing about what this is doing to our country. The only thing they are concerned about is obtaining their communist
goals at the expense of our nation.
When
Wuhan Virus Departs, World Will Be Changed. [T]he United States has been under pressure from the Democrats to
render the southern border with Mexico effectively nugatory, blocking President Donald Trump's wall at every turn in the
courts, ignoring federal authority regarding immigration, and doing their best to prevent Immigration and Customs Enforcement
(ICE) from arresting and deporting criminal illegal aliens. Just a few days ago, presumptive Democratic nominee Joe
Biden was calling Trump's handling of the Wuhan virus crisis "xenophobic." But now that the virus has shut down commerce and
travel from New York to California, Americans are less tolerant of law-flouting than they were a month ago. That old
folks should be confined to quarters for up to four months while the homeless turn the sidewalks into open-air latrines,
Hollywood, the lifeblood of Los Angeles, essentially shuts down production, and movie theaters across the nation close.
As 30,000 illegals continue to cross the southwest border per month, open borders have suddenly become a luxury even a
liberal can no longer afford.
Mass
Migration Is Immoral. When countries, particularly wealthy ones, open their borders to mass migration, it
inevitably creates a vacuum that draws millions, if not billions, of the rest of the world's population. It's often a
dangerous journey, and many die on the way. Certainly, should they make it, their lives can be improved from what they
were. But, would the world truly be a better place if all who would live somewhere else got their wish? What
about those left twisting in the wind in the countries migrants are fleeing from? Those too poor, too frail, too tied
down, or even too afraid to make the move? Assuming, as the left is prone to do, that all or even most migrants are
'good people,' does it negatively impact their countries of origin to lose so many 'good people,' people who, were they to
take positive action where God placed them, could make their own country a better place?
Immigration
Hurts American Workers. Consider that more than 45 million legal immigrants currently reside in America.
On top of this there are at least another 20 million illegal migrants. And yet, American wages are actually lower
than they were in 1973. If immigration is so good for American workers, then why did wages stagnate when the era of mass
migration began? Why do we see wages rise after crackdowns on illegal aliens and "temporary" foreign workers time and time
again? Why is California — an immigrant magnet — America's poorest state, "home" to 170,000 homeless
Americans who are the victims of an income distribution more inequitable than Guatemala's? Contrast this with Japan.
Since 1980, Japan's GDP growth per capita has actually outpaced America's — despite the fact that Japan has next to
no immigration. How is it possible that Japan has prospered without benefiting from the "economic rocket fuel" that
is mass immigration? Could it be that the libertarians are wrong?
How
we became the world's suckers on immigration. The United States is one of only two developed countries in the
world (the other is Canada, and even it has some restrictions we don't have) with full "birthright citizenship," meaning that
any child born when his mother was physically present within the geographical borders of the U.S. automatically gets a U.S.
birth certificate and a Social Security card. That means legal immigrants, pregnant women sneaking in on tourist visas,
travelers on a three-week vacation, cheap foreign workers on "temporary" visas and, in some cases, foreign diplomats.
And that's not all. We're the only country but two that confers automatic citizenship on children born to illegal
aliens, or "anchor babies." This is not "birthright citizenship," which refers to children born to legal immigrants.
Immigration: The Path
To Power. MIT says our illegal immigrant population is about 22 million. Yale says it is between 16 and
30 million. The 11 million figure so popular in the media is ridiculous and a total lie. The
Democrat leadership desperately needs new Democrats to fill the empty space left by former middle-class Democrats they have
long abandoned. This is not about some new healthcare program or race relations or whatever. They could not care
less. It is about power. Every Democrat presidential candidate is united on this.
Trump
is not a racist; he's pushing the Overton window to normal. It was not so long ago that we expected people who came to
America as immigrants to (a) recognize that they were invited guests, rather than entitled squatters; and (b) not to
bad mouth their new country. I know what I'm talking about, for I grew up in a world of immigrants. Not only did my
parents come from another country, so did all of their friends, as well as the parents of my own friends. All of these
immigrants, without exception, came here legally with some, such as my father, a Polish citizen, waiting years before they were
allowed in thanks to national quotas. All of these immigrants, without exception, either had to bring money with them or
have someone sponsor them so that they did not become a charge on the public. And all of these immigrants, without exception,
worked hard. Some made it financially; some, like my father, never did. But all of them recognized that their being in
America was a rare privilege.
Trump vs.
the Radical Squad. The founding fathers were not against immigration per se. Neither is President
Trump. However, the founding fathers, like President Trump, believe that immigrants who are admitted to this country
should serve the interests of American citizens, not the other way around. [...] The Democrat Party is becoming the party of
open borders, led by the four radical congresswomen who do not want any enforcement of our nation's immigration laws,
let alone the closing of any loopholes.
A
look at all of Trump's enemies: [#1] The Democratic Party. The sanctuary party is blocking urgent legislative
immigration reform. Democrats' top priority is to flood the U.S. with millions of illegals, and then, one day, when
they control Congress and the White House, declare them all voting citizens. Using the chain migration laws, if each
immigrant sponsors ten relatives to be admitted, 30 million illegals legalized yields 300 million new American
voters. In the meantime, they intend to nibble around the fringes with assorted voting frauds like DMV and same-day
voter registration, liberal mail-in voting, and ballot-harvesting. Importing a new dependent underclass is part of
the Democrats' new DNA. Any attempt at integrity of the ballot is vilified. Any legislative effort to reform
immigration is a call to arms for the Left. They even scoff at describing the horde of invaders as a "crisis."
The
folly of free healthcare for everybody in the world. "Mexican immigration over the border is a good thing," the
late Nobel Prize winning economist Milton Friedman said in a famous 1978 lecture, before stipulating, "but it's only good so
long as it's illegal." Friedman, a libertarian icon and champion of the economic benefits of free immigration, had very
little in common with today's Trumpists on this issue. But he explained a paradox of illegal immigration this way:
"as long as it's illegal the people who come in do not qualify for welfare, they don't qualify for Social Security, they
don't qualify for all the other myriads of benefits that we pour out from our left pocket into our right pocket, and so, as
long as they don't qualify, they migrate to jobs. They take jobs that most residents of this country are unwilling to
take, they provide employers with workers of a kind they cannot get — they're hard workers, they're good
workers — and they are clearly better off."
To
be a nation of laws, we must enforce those laws. The Left constantly argues that illegal aliens are Americans
who simply haven't received the proper paperwork. But we expect Americans to obey the law, and particularly to conform
to judicial orders. In fact, we impose fines, sanctions, and even jail time when people fail to follow court-issued
orders. Americans even expect the president to comply with judicial orders. After all, they are orders and not
requests. Right now, we have 1 million individuals illegally in America who have been told by a judicial officer, "you
must leave our country," but they refuse to leave. That means that, not just by virtue of legal process or by entering
or remaining in the country illegally, these people do not share American values. These illegal aliens are thumbing
their nose at the underpinnings of America's unique greatness: All of us are equal before the law.
Laura
Ingraham Understands the End Goal of Mass Migration. On a podcast episode, she claims that Democrats "value the
benefits that illegal immigrants will get over the value of a sovereign and independent and free nation, that is well within
its sovereign right to enforce her borders." Ingraham also noted that Democrats would always retort that "We're for
legal immigration." But now with how entrenched mass migration has become, she understands what is truly at play. No,
you're for replacing the current American population, or swamping the current American population, with a new population of
people who are perhaps more hospitable to socialist ideals.
Christians
Don't Have to Support Open Borders. There is no doubt that Christians must have a special concern for the
plight of refugees — those who are forced from their homes either because of natural disasters or man-made
calamities; indeed, that is a constant teaching of the Catholic Church. Even refugees, however, do not have an
unqualified right of entry; their entry claims must always be weighed against our duty to accept them. The test is
whether their entry benefits and is in the interest of American citizens. We can think of a sliding scale that presents
a different moral calculation depending on the classification of those who seek entry: refugees, criminals, and economic
migrants. As we've seen, on one end of the spectrum are refugees. But even they do not have a presumptive right
of entry, though they certainly have a very strong claim. The easiest case involves criminals and others who wish to
strike at the heart of civil society — whether they plan to do it at the border or are likely to become involved
in such destabilizing activity after they're admitted. These persons can be excluded categorically; their interests
weigh not at all on the scale, and the United States is not in any way obligated to admit them.
Why amnesty
isn't the answer. With the news full of reports about more caravans headed for the border and immigration
agents overwhelmed by surging numbers of migrants seeking asylum, it may seem like an odd time for our leaders in Washington
to be proposing amnesty. Yet that's what happened recently, as speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi proudly announced a
proposal that would allow more than 2 million aliens to apply for U.S. citizenship. Contrast this overture against
President Trump's immigration agenda — a robust physical barrier, asylum reform, and an end to catch-and-release,
among others — and it's clear that America is at a crossroads with not only our immigration policy, but our
long-range direction as a nation. An apolitical assessment of the situation would raise a simple question: what is
truly in the best long-term interests of the country? When viewed through that prism, it is crystal-clear that more
amnesty is not the answer.
Cost
to U.S. Taxpayers $5.3 Billion: 429,000 Annual Immigrant Birth Costs. Hidden in every federal budget, and
unknown to 99 percent of Americans, your two U.S. Senators and House member use your money to pay for millions of legal and
illegal immigrants flooding into America annually. [...]
• [L]egal immigrants accounted for 12.4 percent
(494,000) of all births annually and illegal immigrants accounted for 7.5 percent (297,000) annually.
• The 297,000 births per year to illegal immigrants are more than the total number of births to all mothers in
any state except California and Texas. They are also more than the total number of births in 16 states combined, plus
the District of Columbia.
• The estimated 28,000 births to illegal immigrants in just the Los Angles
metro area are more than the total number of births in any of 14 states or the District of Columbia.
•
More than half (54 percent) of births to immigrants (legal and illegal) are entirely or largely paid for by taxpayers
because the mother is on Medicaid or uninsured.
• Illegal immigrants account for 11 percent (198,000)
of all publicly funded births, and legal immigrants are another 13 percent (231,000).
• We roughly
estimate that the annual cost to taxpayers for births to immigrants (legal and illegal) is $5.3 billion; $2.4 billion
of which is for illegal immigrants.
Immigration
to America Is Not What It Used to Be.
[#4] Immigrants today arrive via 10-hour hops on an
airliner. In the past, waves of immigrants spent 10 months traversing land and sea in a journey of staggering expense
and significant dangers. While this isn't universally true, particularly for the overland migrants that cross America's
southern border, the general point stands: coming to America today does not require the commitment it required in the
past.
[#5] Similarly, in the past, immigrants pretty much renounced their countries of origin. They
made a one-way trip and they adopted the language and values of America. Today, retaining cultural unity with one's
country of origin is a few clicks on the internet, a cheap telephone call, an affordable airfare. [...]
[#6]
Immigrants in the past arrived in an America that had a voracious need for unskilled workers. Today the American
economy is relentlessly automating jobs that used to require unskilled labor, and the American population already has a
surplus of unskilled workers.
[#7] Immigrants today are arriving in a welfare state, where they are assured
of food, shelter, and medical care that are, in general, orders of magnitude better than anything available to them in their
native countries. This creates a completely different incentive to today's immigrants. In past centuries,
immigrants came to America to find freedom and to work. Today they are offered a smorgasbord of taxpayer-funded social
services.
[#8] Immigrant students today — especially in the coastal urban centers where most of
them settle — enter a public education system that teaches them with a reverse-racist, anti-capitalist bias.
They are taught in our public schools not to assimilate, but to "celebrate diversity"; not to earn opportunities through hard
work, but through fighting discrimination.
The
Constitution Isn't in Crisis, but the Border Still Is. The Republican-controlled Senate on Thursday [3/14/2019]
followed the lead of the Democratic House and voted to disapprove President Trump's declaration of a national emergency at
the southern border. The success of the disapproval vote was expected in the House, where Democrats keep waving their
arms and saying "It's fine!" while women and children are violently sexually assaulted, the highest number of
arrests at the border since 2008 are tallied, sanctuary cities are protecting murderers, and drug seizures are up at a time
when drugs are killing more people than guns, car crashes, or HIV/AIDS ever did in a single year.
The
Game Is Rigged. We currently grant one million legal permanent residencies to people from around the world every
year. The number of green card holders is expected to increase by 10 million by 2025. That's more than the
current combined population of Dallas, St. Louis, Denver, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Atlanta. Now multiply
that number by at least three and a half. Thanks to our chain migration system, created in 1952 and expanded exponentially
by Congress in 1965 and 1990, these new immigrants can sponsor their entire extended families: parents, spouses, adult
children and their children, and siblings and their children. Princeton University researchers found that recently
admitted immigrants sponsored an average of 3.45 additional relatives each. An estimated 85,000 refugees and 20,000-plus
asylees enter the country annually through an overwhelmed system so rife with fraud and abuse that the process is jokingly dubbed
"refugee roulette" by immigration lawyers. In total, from fiscal year 2008 to 2017, the U.S. gave green cards to more than
2 million migrants for various humanitarian claims — a population larger than the city of Philadelphia.
Nearly half a million more immigrants in that time frame got in through the diversity visa lottery. Illegal aliens are
eligible if a legal family member wins the jackpot.
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.
[#1] 40% of all workers in LA County (10.2
million people) are working for cash; and not paying taxes. This is because they are predominantly illegal immigrants,
working without a green card. (Donald Trump was right)
[#2] 95% of warrants for murder in Los Angeles are for
illegal aliens.
[#3] 75% of people on the most wanted list in Los Angeles are illegal aliens.
[#4] Over
2/3 of all births in Los Angeles County are to illegal alien Mexicans on Medi-Cal, whose births were paid for by
taxpayers.
[#5] Nearly 35% of all inmates in California detention centers are Mexican nationals; they are here
illegally.
[#6] Over 300,000 illegal aliens in Los Angeles County are living in garages.
[#7] The FBI
reports half of all gang members in Los Angeles are most likely illegal aliens from south of the border.
[#8]
Nearly 60% of all occupants of HUD properties are illegal.
[#9] 21 radio stations in LA are
Spanish-speaking.
[#10] In LA County, 5.1 million people speak English; 3.9 million, speak Spanish.
(There are 10.2 million people, in LA County.
(All 10 of the above facts were published in the Los Angeles Times)
Less
than 2% of illegal aliens are picking our crops, but 29% are on welfare.
Over 70% of the United States' annual population growth,
(and over 90% of California, Florida and New York), results from Immigration. Also, 29% of inmates in federal prisons are
illegal aliens. But the left feels that pandering to the masses of border crossers will lead to a tantalizing treasure trove
of steady stalwart supporters ensuring decades if not generations of liberal control.
No
justice for taxpaying Americans. There are two systems of justice, but it's not so much about race as it is
about immigration status. If you're an American, chances are you get hard time. If you're an illegal immigrant,
you get everything, and I do mean everything, including an EBT card, MassHealth and a Sect. 8 housing certificate.
First, when the "racist" cops say you have the right to remain silent, the illegal says "no habla" English. He gets
a translator. He claims he's "indigent," so he gets a public defender. If he's charged with OUI, the public
defender hires a psychologist (also on the taxpayers' dime) to say that the illegal immigrant "lacks the enzyme" to
metabolize alcohol and thus can't be held accountable for killing some gringo. But the real double standard kicks in
when the undocumented Democrat gets to the courtroom. A taxpaying American can only dream of the kid-gloves treatment
these Third World fiends get.
Open
Borders Are Not Libertarian So Long As America Is A Welfare State. "Progressives" have been calling for unrestricted
immigration, for abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and for granting voting rights to illegal immigrants. "Open
borders" advocates decry opponents as racist. [...] Slightly over one-fourth of the children in the United States are now either
immigrants or the children of immigrants. Since the total expenditures on public schooling in the U.S. is almost
$700 billion per year, this cost is far greater than the GDP gains cited by Dalmia, and greater than the $50 billion
she cites for "The Wall." It's also greater than the annual $104 billion for food stamps, the $46 billion for
Section 8 housing programs, or the $30 billion for Aid to Families with Dependent Children for all residents, citizen
or non-citizen. Immigrants also use other social services, but public education for all children residing in the United
States is mandatory. In nineteenth-century America, supposedly with the open borders policies libertarians favor,
immigrant children were not legally excluded from the labor market or mandated a public education.
The
Republican Party: Not Much of a Horse But the Only One in the Corral. The first economic consequence of
mass immigration is lower labor costs across the economy, from lettuce pickers to computer programmers, and that pushes
historic quantities of money up to America's corporate owners and executives. The working and middle classes endure the
economic downside in the form of fewer jobs and much lower wages. This has all been discussed ad nauseam before.
But it can't be repeated too often: Mass immigration has been an economic bonanza for major owners and executives and
an economic disaster for the other 80% of the population.
No One Has
A 'Right' To Immigrate Into The United States. Is there a human right to immigrate? Many defenders
of open borders think so. Individuals, they argue, are entitled to freedom of movement, which entails the right to
immigrate from one country to another. This view has found support in the newly elected president of Mexico, who
remarked that there is a "human right" to move to the United States. This appeal to freedom of movement is dubious
argument for a number of reasons. For starters, freedom of movement is not unlimited: my freedom of movement
does not give me the right to move into your home.
The Left Want to Abolish ICE.
What Does That Mean? ICE is a division within the Department of Homeland Security that is responsible for
immigration enforcement, smuggling investigations, and terrorism prevention. It's split into several subdivisions,
including Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO), which actually carries out arrests and deportations, and Homeland
Security Investigations (HSI), which tackles drug- and terrorism-related issues. ICE has about 20,000 employees, with
400 offices and $6 billion in annual funding. ICE is not the entity directly responsible for policing the
border — that is Customs and Border Protection, although ICE does deport some of the people CBP apprehends.
ICE is also not the entity responsible for the recent family separation controversy — that is CBP again, which
apprehends immigrants at the border, and the Department of Justice, which prosecutes them.
Invasion U.S.A.
This is no longer immigration, this is an invasion to take advantage of our wealth, culture and resources. As radio
talk show host Michael Savage recently said, "The lifeboat is full." I think it is tipping over. If a million, or more,
armed men crossed our border, or any border, it would be considered an invasion. Yet, if the same number of men, women
and children illegally cross our borders, unarmed, seeking our wealth and playing upon our kindness, we are expected to
welcome them with open arms.
Democracy
requires borders. It was telling to watch how Democrats and left-wing commentators responded. Having shed
tears all week about family separation and traumatized children, Trump's opponents began objecting to any detention of
families entering the U.S. illegally. A chorus of critics described the new policy as "handcuffs for all." An MSNBC
host portrayed as a dark "totalitarian" act the very idea of a border guard stopping and arresting an illegal immigrant.
Behind these objections is a premise that goes unstated because it is radical and deeply unpopular. It is that border
enforcement is itself illegitimate.
The
Asylum Crisis Is a Security Challenge, Not a Legal Problem. Congress cannot enact a law that prevents Central
American migrants from flooding the border. Or, one supposes, it can enact a thousand such laws and look on in
Canute-like futility as the incursion continues. Passing laws is not a serious response to a security challenge, and an
unserious response always emboldens the challenger. Outsiders can overwhelm a national border by armed force or, if the
nation is not willing to defend its border, by sheer numbers. Either way, the challenge can be answered only by the
deployment of physical barriers and armed force sufficient to deny the onslaught and discourage others from coming.
Only after the crisis is over, after the security threat is contained, can we establish a legal process backed by resources
scaled to handle the number of outsiders realistically expected to petition for entry.
The
immorality of the open-borders Left. We have two choices when it comes to border security and interior
enforcement. We can continue telegraphing the message that when you come here with children you are home free.
This will continue fueling the drug crisis, growing MS-13, enriching the drug cartels, inducing sex trafficking and terrible
crimes at the border, encouraging illegals to kidnap children to gain admission, and causing death and mayhem on both sides
of the border. Or we could finally deter this behavior by announcing an end to any immigration requests not processed
in a controlled environment through our embassy. If you are concerned about "separating children" and don't support the
latter path, then you need to seriously examine your values and priorities. The entirety of the epidemic-level increase
in both drugs and MS-13 began around 2014-2015 with the rise of UACs and the collapse of interior enforcement against
criminal alien drug trafficking networks operating in our major cities. That was all precipitated by the rise of the
"dreamer" political movement incentivizing people to come here as children or to bring children here to gain admission
through catch-and-release.
The Education
America Needs. We spend billions every year on illegal immigration; that is, on persons who drive down wages
even as they contribute nothing to the welfare state from which they derive a great deal. (Studies estimate that 50 to
60 percent of illegal immigrants receive entitlements.) Not to mention the many crimes — drug-related
and otherwise — that result from such illegal entry.
Pelosi's 'Immoral, Ineffective and Expensive' Argument.
If you try to attend next month's Super Bowl at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, you better have a ticket or some other type
of pass that allows you to legally enter the facility. If you don't, you won't get in. They have built a great
big beautiful wall around that field, which, according to the stadium's website, was constructed with $1.129 billion in
private and public money. To enter, you will need to pass through a gate, where people will verify whether you have the
right to do so. Because of this, you can bet almost no one will migrate from other parts of the country or the world
to see if they can illegally penetrate the security around the Super Bowl and attend the game for free. They know they
cannot succeed. So, they will not try. That will also spare them the misery of standing outside in Minnesota in
February. The NFL [...] is more serious about border security at its stadiums than Congress has been in recent decades
about border security in the American southwest.
How to Report Illegal Aliens.
Under federal law, any non-U.S. citizen is an alien. Aliens who have entered the United States without permission, or
who have violated the terms of their admission, are identified under the law as illegal aliens. That is a fact, not an
issue for debate. It doesn't matter whether someone crossed our nation's borders illegally or overstayed a visa, their
presence in the country is illegal which makes them deportable under the Immigration and Nationality Act.
The
U.S. Has More Immigrants Than Any Other Country. A new study by the Pew Research Center shows that the U.S. has
more than 40 million immigrants, more than any other country in the world. It also takes in about one-fifth of the
world's total migrants. The report looks at trends from 1960 to 2015. According to the report in 2015 the U.S. hit a
record high of 43.2 million immigrants accounting for 13.4% of the population, the same number that is used by the Center of
Immigration Studies. This is four times higher than in 1960 when only 9.7 million immigrants lived in the U.S.,
accounting for only 5.4% of the population.
The Case Against
Immigration. In the United States, there is strong evidence that the national interest has not been well served by the country's
immigration policy over the last five decades. Even as levels of immigration have approached historic highs, debate on the topic has been
subdued, and policymakers and opinion leaders in both parties have tended to overstate the benefits and understate or ignore the costs of
immigration. It would make a great deal of sense for the country to reform its immigration policies by more vigorously enforcing existing
laws, and by moving away from the current system, which primarily admits immigrants based on family relationships, toward one based on the
interests of Americans.
Law
Takes a Holiday. The law states that foreign nationals cannot enter and permanently reside in the United States
without going through a checkpoint and in most cases obtaining a legal visa or green card. But immigration law has been
all but ignored. Or it was redefined as not committing additional crimes while otherwise violating immigration law.
Then the law was effectively watered down further to allow entering and residing illegally if not committing "serious" crimes.
Now, the adjective "serious" is being redefined as something that does not lead to too many deportations. The logical
end is no immigration law at all — and open borders.
The
Mainstream Media Have Forfeited All Respect. In 1988 there were 16 million immigrants (including fewer than 1 million
illegal aliens) living in the United States. Today, that number has skyrocketed to 42.4 million (including an estimated 12 million
illegal aliens). This enormous increase (165%) in the immigrant population (while the overall population growth was just 29%) has not
only put pressure on a stagnant job market, but also has been a major factor in the decline of median income in the country as well as
skyrocketing public spending. Rather than report the facts, the media chose instead to highlight human-interest stories about the
plight of an illegal immigrant family whenever one could be found, to extensively and sympathetically cover immigrant marches and
demonstrations, to highlight accusations of alleged xenophobia and intolerance, and generally be an ombudsman for the immigrant population.
These
16 quotes prove America can exclude or deport any immigrant — for any reason. The ubiquitous notion among the
political and legal establishment that there are any constitutional limitations on our sovereign right to exclude any
immigrant for any reason is the most dangerous constitutional crisis we are facing in the coming months. It is one of
the reasons why I wrote "Stolen Sovereignty" — as a reminder of our history, traditions, and laws on immigration
and sovereignty. Based on 200 years of case law, the accepted laws of nation states, and the principles of the social
compact, popular sovereignty, and jurisdictional sovereignty, the American people — as expressed through their
elected representatives — have the right to exclude or deport any non-citizen for any reason. The prudence
of such a move is a political question best dealt with by the political branches of government depending on the situation at
hand. But the courts have absolutely no ability to force the political branches to allow aliens to remain in this
country against statutes passed by Congress. There is no due process for aliens to remain in the country in the same
way non-citizens have full due process when facing jail time or indefinite detention. That is the most settled area of
law. Even those who aren't politically comfortable with exercising this power to the max must concede that it is a
dangerous proposition to cede the legal right to exercise that power.
Time
for a Complete Halt on All Immigration. This is a serious proposal — and a necessary one.
Consider: with the U.S. having a replacement-level fertility rate of 2.1 children per woman, immigration is the only
reason our population is increasing. As to this, our numbers have swelled from 100 million people in 1915 to 200 million
in 1968 to 320 million today. And it's projected they will reach approximately 400 million just after 2050.
Obviously, such growth involves strain on natural resources, social services and infrastructure. Yet while the Left purports
to care about the environment, it also pursues open-border policies with jihadist-like zeal. But when will enough population
be enough? When it stands at 450 million? A half billion? A billion? The Left likes to push "family
planning." But what about national-family planning?
30
to 40 Million Illegals Can Be Deported. The first thing to recognize is that the illegal alien problem arose because of the 1987 Reagan
Amnesty nearly 30 years ago. By some estimates, up to 40 million people have entered the USA illegally since that time, so encouraging
them to leave may take an extended period of time as well. [...] Somehow, the left and corporatist right have come to believe that our country would
collapse without illegal immigration and open borders. We should remind those bleeding hearts who support the invasion of our country by
third-worlders that, for example, fresh produce somehow made its way to market before 1987 without illegals living here. Note also that
countries with strict immigration policies and zero illegal immigration enjoy ample supplies of fruits and vegetables.
Immigration,
the Supreme Court and President Obama. In 2014, President Barack Obama signed 12 executive orders directing
various agencies in the departments of State, Justice and Homeland Security to refrain from deporting some 4 million adult
immigrants illegally present in the United States if they are the parents of children born here or legally present here and
if they hold a job, obtain a high-school diploma or its equivalent, pay taxes and stay out of prison. Unfortunately for
the president, the conditions he established for avoiding deportation had been rejected by Congress. In response to the
executive orders, 26 states and the House of Representatives sued the president and the recipients of the orders, seeking
to prevent them from being enforced.
How
The Cloward-Piven Strategy Is Driving The United States To Collapse. Illegal Immigration on its own is already one of the
most important threats to the future of the United States, because it reflects a deliberate attempt by our political elite to displace and
supplant its native population with one that will always vote for them, remain dependent on welfare, and take jobs from Americans by working
"under the table" at wages that American citizens cannot survive on. This raises a logical question: if illegal immigration
already displaces such a great number of Americans and creates so much controversy and strife, why keep bringing in as many as possible?
A further question to ask is why do so now, as opposed to waiting until the economy is better? Our nation is nowhere near the point of
recovery since nearly 50% of Americans are already on one form or another of government assistance, our nation has an interest rate student
loan bubble that will both burst soon, and an economy that is either being outsourced or stolen by thieves with H1B visas. All of these
factors clearly show that our nation is at its breaking point, yet we have a political elite that wishes to first enact unconditional amnesty
and then import migrants from shady 3rd world countries. Any rational observer will realize that adding 13 million MORE welfare,
public assistance or student loan recipients may likely cause the entire system to collapse due to inefficiency and a lack of adequate funding.
Chilling
Timeline: Obama's Dismantling of U.S. Immigration Laws. The Federation for American Immigration Reform
(FAIR) has recently released a video they call a summary of the "Obama Immigration Policy Timeline Wrecking Ball" which
outlines steps Obama has taken from the beginning of his presidency to dismantle enforcement of U.S. immigration laws.
The video also shows how Hillary Clinton assisted his actions. The video is a must see by every American. It
explains what Obama meant when he promised to "fundamentally transform" America. One of the reasons why President Obama
is so concerned about Donald Trump winning the White House in 2016, is because Trump has built his campaign around the
promise of stopping illegal immigration and building a wall on the Mexican border. Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton has
embraced illegal immigrants, promising to enact amnesty within her first 100 days in office and said she will "fight
for immigration reform that provides a full and equal path to citizenship." [Video clip]
Timely news and commentary:
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.
Anchor
babies with birthright citizenship is an idiotic policy that encourages migrants to come to the U.S. illegally.
Birthright citizenship essentially invites people from around the world, who happen to be pregnant, to make every effort
they can to come into our country, whether they break our laws to get in or not. They don't want to take the time to
go through the legal process so they just jump the line and come in to use our health care system, which they get for free,
to have their babies here. Then the baby of the illegals automatically becomes a citizen and we call that an anchor baby.
The baby then qualifies for all the benefits of other U.S babies. Then people who are pro-illegal on immigration say
that we can't send the parents back because it would break up the family. Of course, the parents then get all of
the benefits that other citizens get, because it would be unfair to the baby if we didn't hand them out.
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...
What lovely people. I suppose now the voodoo priests will be
welcomed to America because they're fleeing from political persecution.
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
voters aliens. [...] Constantine ordered his employees not to listen to ICE, but
to take the lead of a leftist group based at the University of Washington that proclaimed it was
wrong for the county to "provide the infrastructure through which private parties ... profit from
operating the deportation machine." The "private party" guys running the charters were out of
luck when the county said to stop, or else.
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...
That's great, but they won't be going far. They obviously don't have the money to go back
to Haiti, if they're eating wild geese and stray cats.
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...
That's all very nice, but then there's a problem afterward: dispersion. As thousands of
deported aliens cross into Juarez or Matamoros, they will accumulate into a big crowd of hungry vagabonds,
and the Mexican government won't be likely to help with food and transportation. Within a few days,
the idea of crossing back into the U.S. will probably seem to be well worth the risk. For that reason,
the U.S. should deport Mexicans to the farthest corners of Mexico — Yucatan, Campeche, Tabasco,
Chiapas — as well as Honduras, El Salvadore, and Nicaragua. Give each of the non-violent
non-criminal deportees a thousand dollars, and they'll be welcomed in Central America. That would
be a lot cheaper than giving them a thousand dollars a month (or more) in welfare benefits here
in the U.S.
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...
I'm strongly in favor of deporting violent criminals who did not enter this country legally, and
not necessarily to the country of their origin. (Paraguay comes to mind.) I am also
strongly in favor of deporting illegal aliens who are a "public charge;" that is, a perpetual
liability living on the welfare system. The illegal aliens who mind their own business,
learn English, assimilate, and refrain from felonious behavior may remain, as far as I'm concerned,
but they should not be counted in the decennial Census in the same column as U.S. citizens, which
distorts our representation in the Congress.
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 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.

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.

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.

Judiciary
Report: Joe Biden, Kamala Harris Execute 'Quiet Amnesty' for Nearly a Million Illegal
Aliens. President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris's administration has
carried out a so-called "quiet amnesty" for nearly a million illegal aliens in the United States
whose immigration court cases have been shuttered, a bombshell report from the House Judiciary
Committee reveals. The report details how the Biden-Harris administration has inflated the
nation's immigration court backlog with more than 3.7 million new cases since the start of
Fiscal Year 2021, including more than 1.5 million new cases in the first three quarters of
Fiscal Year 2024.
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:
◦ People who say they want to remake (destroy) America.
◦ Politicians who take an oath to enforce all laws yet refuse to enforce
immigration laws, and appointed bureaucrats who neglect their post and duties.
◦ All the lawless sanctuary cities and states that incentivize illegal immigration
and refuse to cooperate with ICE, and officials in the federal government who don't care.
◦ All the people who pretend that dangerous criminal gangs from
Venezuela and other places are not really a problem; people in government who think citizens'
safety is irrelevant.
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...
Most of the illegal aliens will deport themselves if they get uncomfortable; that is, if [#1] all
public transactions, education, voting, and broadcasting is done in English, [#2] non-citizens
receive no Social Security payments, food stamps (or whatever they're called now), or other perpetual
handouts (with the exception of meals for those in custody), and [#3] children born in the U.S.
whose parents are not present legally are deemed non-citizens themselves, and [#4] if the government
announces a new program to deport illegal aliens (especially the violent criminals) to a remote country
somewhere, not just across the border. Most of them would quietly leave rather than end up
in Peru or Liberia.
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,

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.

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.

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.

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]

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."

Venezuelan Who Made Viral Videos Teaching Others How To Come To America Illegally Is Ordered To Be

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...
The Haitians are mostly being dumped into states that voted for Trump in 2016 and 2020.
It's an act of political retribution. The Haitians are pawns. The cost (and the "carbon
footprint") of transporting thousands of people for no good reason is of no concern to the lying,
baby-killing, socialist Democrats.
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...
I would be in favor of this idea only under certain circumstances: [#1] The illegal
aliens' cell phones must have their own area code, to make it easier to see who they're calling.
[#2] The phones can be used to locate each illegal alien, to make it easier to deport them.
[#3] Anyone who uses such a phone to facilitate the commission of a crime will be subject to
immediate ejection from the U.S. — preferably to the most distant point in South America.
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.

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:
Low-skilled
migrants cost taxpayers £150,000 each. Low-paid migrant workers are an
immediate drain on the public purse, costing taxpayers more than £150,000 each by the time
they hit state pension age, according to the Government's tax and spending watchdog. The
Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) said the average low-earner who came to Britain aged 25 cost
the Government more overall than they paid in from the moment they arrived. The cumulative
bill rose to an estimated £151,000 by the time they could claim the state pension at 66, the
watchdog said. This is because low-paid migrants — who the OBR assumes earn half
the average wage — put more demand on public services such as the NHS compared to their
relatively low-tax payments. The OBR estimated the cost to the public purse rose to almost
£500,000 if they lived to 80, and more than £1 [million] if they lived to 100.
The Editor says...
All that is true in the United States, too, as well as any country with unfiltered welfare
payments and unvetted immigrants. The people flooding into England from Africa are not rocket
scientists and brain surgeons. They are attracted by the smell of free stuff, and are most
likely unemployable. The people flooding into the U.S. are apparently violent criminals from
Venezuela, military-age men from China, and freeloaders from Mexico and Central America.
Practically 100 percent of them are sure to be a "public charge" and are therefore
inadmissible. When I run for president, I will reveal my solutions to this problem, but you
won't like them.
And now, to reiterate the obvious...
The
Left can no longer hide from the terrible costs of mass migration. In a recent
interview to promote his latest book, Sir Tony Blair was good enough to admit that the influx of
migrants under his premiership placed "strain" on communities. Net immigration increased
fivefold under the last Labour government and his decade in power is widely regarded as having
fired the starting gun on modern mass migration as we now know it. Defending his record in
Downing Street, he accepted that opening up Britain's borders did not come without cost,
acknowledging: "This is true in certain communities, there was a big influx of people, it was
causing real strains in some of those communities." But in the way only a prime minister who
oversaw an unprecedented increase in migrant numbers (unprecedented, that is, until the last Tory
government), he trotted out the tried and tested immigration "helped our economy" line, adding:
"The truth is, we did need a lot of people for the British economy coming in from Europe." We
may have needed some people, but five times as many?
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...
How did the Haitians migrate en masse to Springfield, Ohio, without anyone seeing them headed that way?
How did 20,000 Haitians, who are so destitute that they eat wild geese from the city park, afford air travel from Haiti?
Isn't it true that someone with no money, no skills, and no income is a "public charge" who is inadmissible to the U.S.?
Why aren't all 20,000 of them being rounded up for deportation right now?
Is there a law that says they must be returned to Haiti, or could they be sent to Liberia or Sudan?

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,

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."

Military
Deployed to Guard a Migrant Hotel in New York at 'Request of the State Officials':
Report. Military personnel were reportedly deployed to guard the Wolcott Hotel in
Manhattan at the request of state officials. On Tuesday, citizen journalist Jason Goodman,
founder of Crowdsource the Truth, captured footage of military stationed outside The Wolcott
Hotel. The Wolcott Hotel, located on West 31st Street in New York City, has recently been
converted into a mega-shelter for migrants. This transformation was confirmed by a report
from the New York Post, which revealed that the hotel, once a bustling hub for tourists, has
indefinitely closed its doors to regular guests back in 2023 due to the ongoing migrant crisis and
concerns about the COVID-19 Delta variant.
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...
Do you know anyone who has been clamoring for an influx of Haitians? Does anyone sit around
saying, "I sure wish there were some more Haitians in this town"? The Haitians
are skipping over several other U.S. states and landing in Ohio, which happens to be a swing state.
If they can be shipped anywhere, why are they being brought into the central U.S.? I'm sure they'd
be right at home in Chad or Somalia.
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.

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...
A person who is unemployable, who can't speak English, who has no marketable skills, and has no education, is the
very definition of a "public charge," and is therefore inadmissible to this country. They should all be immediately
deported, not rewarded with unearned cash. They are exactly the kind of people we already have plenty of.
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.

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...
Nonsense. There are probably more than 17 million illegal immigrants in Texas alone!
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

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.

News: Joe Biden dispatches immigration officials to foreign nations to assist migrants

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,

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?
Biden
Regime Amnesties 350,000 Illegal Aliens. The anti-American Biden Regime is fully
intent on turning the once proud United States of America into a Tower of Babel. During
Biden's 3.5 years in the White House, his open, undefended border policy has allowed
3.6 million immigrant-invaders to occupy large areas of the US. California and Seattle,
Washington, now hire immigrant-invaders to police American citizens. When citizens are
policed by illegals, is it any longer their country? Various American cities in the hands of
democrats want to legalize voting by immigrant-invaders. Democrat members of Congress want to
hire immigrant-invaders as US soldiers. The question before us is: Does US citizenship
any longer have any value and any meaning?
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...
Joe Biden's mental capacity has deteriorated to such an extent that he doesn't appear to know where
he is most of the time. Joe Biden is no longer capable of concocting any kind of plot to bypass
or undermine the Supreme Court. All this is being done by others with enough access and leverage to
get their deeds done without revealing the names of the people behind it. A shadow government, in
other words. People we didn't vote for are running the country.
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

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]

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.
[...] Since Joe Biden took office:
• There have been OVER 9.2 MILLION illegal immigrant encounters nationwide.
• There have been OVER 7.6 MILLION illegal immigrant encounters at our Southern Border.
• The number of known gotaways at the Southern Border has skyrocketed by 390.23%.
• Immigration judges have thrown out approximately 200,000 deportation cases
because DHS did not file the required "Notice to Appear" by the time of the scheduled hearing.
In March, there were 189,372 illegal immigrant encounters at our Southern Border. March
was the 37th straight month where monthly illegal immigrant encounters have been higher than even
the highest month seen under President Trump.

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.

The
Destructive Generation — Proving America's Weakest Link. 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.

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...
[#1] Just taking Senator Schumer's statement at face value,
he doesn't even know how many illegal aliens are here! That's an admission of incompetence.
It is far more likely that he knows there are three or four times as many illegal aliens as he claims,
and is duplicitously low-balling the number to sell his amnesty idea. [#2] He wants immediate
amnesty! Right now! What's the rush?
The only purpose for rushing through an irreversible and massive change like this is deception.
The election is coming up soon, and it's unlikely the Democrats will be able to manufacture enough
extra ("look what we found") ballots to overcome the Trump victory this time.
[#3] Mr. Schumer doesn't care if Americans reproduce as fast as they once did. This
isn't about reproduction, it's about signing up parasites for welfare payments and expecting them
to vote for Socialist Democrats to perpetuate those payments — and the Democrats' power.
[#4] If "we have a population that is not reproducing on its own with the same level that it
used to," whose fault is that? Which political party is pushing gender
confusion, gender neutral behavior, normalization of homosexuality
in the public schools, normalization of same-sex marriage,
abortion at any stage of pregnancy for any reason,
and over-population
panic? The Muslims are the only group that's really
eager to reproduce, and they're only doing so to overwhelm
the rest of us at the ballot box in another generation or two.
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, [...]

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.

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.

A
cap on migrants is our only chance. In advance of figures due to be published
tomorrow Migration Watch, the independent organisation that monitors migrant flow in and out of the

issued an urgent appeal to the Government to drive net immigration to below to below 100,000 a
year. Migration Watch chairman Alp Mehmet says: 'We have seen the immense damage caused by
decades of uncapped migration under successive governments. Conservative ministers abandoned
the Coalition immigration cap and, as a result, totally lost control of our borders. Our
country is already developing serious social strains. The only way forward is now to
introduce a cap. Our message is clear: no cap, no control.'
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...
The illegal immigrant population is probably at least 30 million. The 14 million figure
given is a gross underestimation. There were almost certainly more than 14 million illegal
residents in the U.S. when Obama was president. For some reason, the news media habitually
plays dpwn the illegal immigrant problem, while exaggerating every other threat.

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.

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.)
Trump
Advisers Reveal Advance Planning to Deport 20M Illegal Aliens After Election. Illegal
immigration and control over the nation's borders will be one of the major issues in this fall's
elections, and a key aspect of that issue is the number of people who are present in the country
today — and what should be done about them. Should he win reelection, former President Donald
Trump is reportedly being advised to deport almost 20 million illegal aliens, in a project
similar to the United Kingdom's Rwanda policy.
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.

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.

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?

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.

Paxton Sues NGO For

Paxton and Texas have proven that the states don't have to take this conspiracy to break the law

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.

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.

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

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

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...
Illegal aliens are criminals, not the victims of criminals. It is safe to presume that
whoever created the "victims of crime" visas didn't see this as the intended use.
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.

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.
Mexico
surges troops to the border to stop 'Way of the Cross' migrant caravan of 2,000 from reaching
Texas. Hundreds of federal, state and local Mexican law enforcement have arrived on
the border near El Paso, Texas to prevent a migrant caravan with an estimated 2,000 people
from reaching the US. Mexican officials paraded federal immigration agents and other law
enforcement officers in front of cameras this week in Juarez, the Mexican city just south of El
Paso. The show of force is part of an on-going agreement between President Joe Biden and Mexico's
president for Mexico to do its part in securing the border and has been used in January as well.
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 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:
Johnson
informs Schumer he will send Mayorkas impeachment articles to Senate on April 10.
Speaker Mike Johnson informed Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer that the House will send the
impeachment articles against Department of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas to the Senate on
April 10, according to a letter obtained by CNN, the next step in having an impeachment trial
in the upper chamber. Schumer's office responded to the letter saying senators will be sworn
in as jurors on April 11. The House impeached Mayorkas on February 13 by an extremely
narrow margin, making him the first Cabinet secretary to be impeached in almost 150 years.
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:
Migration
Advocates Use Bridge Deaths to Push for More Migration. Advocates for more migration
are exploiting the deaths of six migrant workers in the Baltimore bridge disaster to argue that
more migration is essential for America. "We know we can and we will rebuild," said a statement
from Krish O'Mara Vignarajah, the Sri Lankan-born president of Global Refuge, an organization that
is paid to help settle migrants in American communities. "The contributions of our immigrant
brothers and sisters will continue to be essential in that effort."
The Editor says...
Labor unions and socialist groups call their members "brothers and sisters" because it sounds better than "comrades."
Fifth
Circuit continues block on Texas immigration law. A divided appeals court said in a
late-night ruling that a controversial Texas immigration law cannot go into effect as the state
appeals a ruling that blocked it. The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals handed down the 2-1
ruling regarding Senate Bill 4 on Tuesday night, just a week after it had previously blocked the
law, which — if enforced — would allow law enforcement in Texas to arrest
suspected illegal immigrants and allow state judges to deport them. The court noted that this
tends to be the jurisdiction of the federal government.
Biden
Is Considering Illegal Immigrant Amnesty. I completely missed a barnburner of a story
buried in a Politico report on why Biden hasn't been doing anything to douse the political fire
caused by the border crisis. Rather than taking executive actions to appear tougher on border
crossers, Biden is actually considering going in the opposite direction and granting amnesty to
long-time illegal residents, handing out Green Cards to people who have hidden inside the country
for 10 years or longer. [Tweet] That'll stop the flow of illegals crossing the
border! It's a sure-fire hit. I'm a bit shocked that he isn't considering a program to
grant citizenship and register them all to vote, but maybe he hopes to accomplish that goal in his
increasingly unlikely second term.
Extortion:
Mexican
president says the 'flow of migrants will continue' unless the US meets his demands.
Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador warned on Sunday during an interview with
"60 Minutes" that unless the United States complies with Latin America's requests for aid, the
tide of migrants will continue. In January, Obrador issued a series of demands for what the
U.S. must do to stop the flow of migrants to the border, ranging from sending Latin American
countries $20 billion in aid a year to granting some level of amnesty to illegal immigrant
workers in the U.S. Mexico has reportedly taken some state-level action to curb mass migration
at President Biden's request, making crossings drop, however, the number of migrants began to rise
again in February, with Border Patrol expecting another surge in the[ ]spring.
Scotus
Sides With Texas on Immigration Law — Round 'Em Up. The Supreme Court last
Tuesday upheld a Texas law allowing local law enforcement to arrest illegal immigrants entering the
US. This is a massive victory for Governor Greg Abbott (R), whose attempts to handle the
border crisis have been repeatedly stymied by the Biden Administration. The Texas law (SB4),
passed late last year, allows state and local officials to arrest and impose criminal penalties on
individuals entering the country illegally and allows state judges to order deportation.
According to Abbott, the law was a necessity due to the Biden Administration's abject failure to
enforce federal laws at the border. Texas Attorney Genearl Ken Paxton described the ruling as
a "huge win" and confirmed the law "is now in effect." The Supreme Court's ruling also rejects
a request from the Justice Department, which insists SB4 is a violation of the Constitution's
Supremacy Clause. The Supremacy Clause states that federal law takes precedence over state
law in most cases.
In
Florida, ignorance of the law is an excuse if you don't speak English. An illegal
alien in Florida escaped prosecution for resisting arrest because he speaks no English[,] and now
he's suing the estate of the officer who collapsed while arresting him. If you've ever
wondered how lost America is, I think this story tells the tale. I'll limit my comments
because the facts really do speak for themselves. Virgilio Aguilar Mendez is a Guatemalan
citizen who came to America illegally, ending up in St. Augustine, Florida. Last year,
Sgt. Michael Kunovich, an experienced police officer, believed that Mendez was behaving
suspiciously and began to question him. Mendez announced that he didn't speak English and
tried to walk away. Of course, walking away from a police officer isn't how it works in
Guatemala or America, so Kunovich grabbed Mendez. Mendez responded with violence.
Kunovich then collapsed from a deadly heart attack.
The
List of Things Illegal Immigrants Get for 'Free' in Liberal Massachusetts. Liberal
Massachusetts is overrun with illegal border crossers and there's really no wonder why when you see
the laundry list of things that are provided for 'free' courtesy of taxpayers in the Bay
State. All of these perks just act as incentives, driving more illegals into the state.
And remember, there are American citizens in Massachusetts who are poor and don't get nearly as
much from the state.
New
York City to Give Migrant Families Debit Cards for Food, Baby Supplies. New York City
will give debit cards to migrant families for food and baby supplies. The first cards will be
distributed to families on Monday, sparking fear that the new program could lead to fraud or abuse
as well as speculation that the city will be prioritizing migrants over current citizens. As
many 180,000 migrants have arrived in the city over the last two years with 65,000 now in shelters.
"A family of four is expected to receive up to $350 per week under the program, which will last six
weeks, city officials said. The program will begin with 10 families on Monday, expanding to about
115 families, or roughly 450 people, over the next week," noted the New York Times.
The Editor says...
What's to prevent them from using the cards to buy cigarettes, tattoos, and lottery tickets?
Joe
Biden's winners. The top of Biden's winner list has to be illegal aliens.
As the saying goes, what you promote, you get more of. Joe Biden and his surrogates have
actively promoted the arrival of more than 7 [to] 8 million new illegal aliens since
his inauguration, when he overrode Donald Trump-era policies and instituted new executive orders,
opening the floodgates. Illegal aliens are being housed, fed, given stored value cards, free
medical treatment, and "the promise" of amnesty. A peripheral beneficiary of our open border
is the Mexican cartels, who are making bank, trafficking drugs, adults, and children. [...] On the
heels of illegal aliens are non-governmental organizations and other leftist activist
groups, who are grifting the government to the tune of billions of dollars per year. Woke
Catholic charities, woke Protestant charities, woke attorneys, woke hotel chains and housing
authorities all benefit from the continuation of the border surge. Leftist homeless groups
benefit from the continuation of, not the elimination of, homelessness. If they "solved" the
homeless crisis, they would be out of work. Not the "people" in said sanctuary cities and
states, but leftist Democrats, who benefit from the increased number of congressional seats
afforded them, by the increased counts in the Census, soon to be the right to vote.
Democrats
Vote Against Bill That Would Stop Biden Admin From Flying Illegals to American Communities.
Every single Senate Democrat voted against a bill that would have stopped the Biden Administration from
chartering more than 32,000 illegal immigrants from their countries to various American communities.
Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-TN) called out Democrats on Friday night after they opposed legislation that
would protect American tax dollars from being spent on flights for hundreds of thousands of illegal
aliens to be flown to cities across the country. "Make no mistake here. President Biden has
secretly been flying hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens in foreign countries into blue-city
airports," Hagerty said from the Senate floor. "Just last year alone, in 2023, it was reported
that some 320,000 illegal aliens have been flown in using this method." [Tweet with video clip]
Trump
Can Win Again on Building the Wall. In 2015, there were just under 600,000 "Illegal
aliens apprehended in the United States" according to Statista. Many of those apprehended
were sent back home. Today there are over 300,000 known migrants entering (and almost all
staying in) the U.S. each month. Migrants are arriving from all over the world, including
from geopolitical adversaries like China. Then there are those not caught. CBP reports
over 1000 "known "gotaways" a day. In total, this is more than the 3.9 million
population of Los Angeles added to America's welfare rolls each year. How many are "unknown
gotaways"? You don't know what you don't know. American cities are choking under this
invasion. As one example in my home city, "Denver cuts services in response to the migrant
crisis that's costing the city $180 million." It's worse in New York City and
Chicago. Trump tried to build a wall but ran into stiff resistance from both Democrats and
donor-class beholden Republicans.
New
York City Mayor Eric Adams Cancels US-Mexico Border Trip Over 'Safety Concerns'. In a
turn of events that would be hilarious if it weren't so serious, New York City Mayor Eric Adams
canceled a scheduled trip to the southern border. He was slated to visit Brownsville and
McAllen, Texas, along with an undisclosed city in Mexico. The visit was supposedly aimed at
addressing the mounting challenges New York City faces due to the ongoing border crisis. But
Adams canceled the trip — over "security concerns."
The Editor says...
[#1] As I understand it, Brownsville and McAllen are the least-affected cities in Texas. If he
really wanted to see some stuff, he should have gone to El Paso and Juarez. After sundown.
[#2] If it is unsafe to visit the Mexican border, why are you inviting illegal immigrants to your
"sanctuary city?"
Judge
Tosses Challenge, Upholds Law Allowing 'Noncitizens' To Vote In DC. A federal judge
on Thursday dismissed a lawsuit challenging a District of Columbia law allowing "noncitizen
residents" to vote in local elections. Judge Amy Berman Jackson, an appointee of President
Barack Obama, found that a group of seven citizen plaintiffs lacked standing to challenge the
legislation. Their lawsuit against the D.C. Board of Elections, filed on March 14, aimed
to block the 2022 law passed by the Council of the District of Columbia. They argued that
"noncitizens" do not have a fundamental right to vote in the United States and that allowing them
to cast ballots and hold office in the District of Columbia dilutes the votes of U.S. citizens.
"It follows from our national independence that United States citizens have a right to govern, and
be governed by, themselves. The constitutional right to citizen self-government, moreover,
has been recognized in repeated holdings of the Supreme Court of the United States," their
complaint reads. "Nor does any noncitizen have a constitutional right to govern the United
States," the complaint adds. The group argued that the Supreme Court has recognized and
protected these rights against infringement in "multiple precedents."
To
Stop The Border Invasion, Get Tough On Mexico. A group of several hundred illegal
immigrants forcibly pushed past Texas National Guard troops on Thursday in El Paso, Texas, breaking
through razor wire and assaulting guardsmen as they forcibly rushed a border gate. Video of
the clash, which was filmed by reporters from the New York Post, quickly went viral. It shows
the crowd of migrants, all of them adult men, at first putting their hands up as they crowd around
a small group of Texas guardsmen trying to block an opening in the fence the migrants had
created. After what appears to be a brief physical altercation, the crowd rushes past the
guardsmen. The Post reporter at the scene described it as a "riot." The video is
shocking. It underscores not only how unstable the border has become but also what has been
true for a while now: This is an invasion. What began as a crisis created by the Biden
administration's lax border policies is now an open conflict careening toward disaster.

Man
pleads guilty to smuggling migrants into California through sewer pipes. A
20-year-old Mexico resident has pleaded guilty to smuggling seven migrants into the U.S. illegally
through sewer pipes in southern California, federal prosecutors say. Kevin Noe Campos Villa
now faces a potential 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine following his arrest in January,
during which several of the migrants he was escorting had to be rescued from the Tijuana River by
San Diego lifeguards, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of
California. Prosecutors say Campos, of Tijuana, was taken into custody by the Border Patrol
on Jan. 22 about two miles west of the San Ysidro Port of Entry during heavy rainfall.
"Sewer tubes between the United States and Mexico have grates to prevent individuals from illegally
entering the United States. During heavy rain, the grates are opened to let water flow
through the sewer tubes without damaging the grates," the attorney's office said. "Due to
heavy rain that was occurring in the area at the time, the grates were open and Campos used the
opportunity to smuggle the unauthorized immigrants into the United States."

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.

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."

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.

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

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.

This proves that the Somali immigrants have no intention (or motive) to assimilate and become English-speaking Americans.
What
the Court Did On Immigration. A showdown is coming on the conflict between the Biden
administration, which is determined to negate federal immigration law, and the State of Texas,
which bears the brunt of Biden's open border policy and is determined to vindicate our immigration
laws and protect its own citizens. The case is pending in the Fifth Circuit, but a shot
across the bow was fired yesterday [3/19/2024] in the Supreme Court. This is the procedural
status: A federal judge in Texas held that Texas's law, SB 4, unconstitutionally conflicts
with federal law, and he enjoined enforcement of SB 4. Texas appealed to the Fifth Circuit
Court of Appeals, which entered an "administrative stay" of the trial court's order enjoining
Texas. Under that temporary stay, Texas can continue enforcing its law, for the time being,
while the case is being argued.
The Editor says...
I will admit I'm confused about whether SB4 is being enforced or not, because its status
seems to have changed at least twice this week.
Bus
company agrees to stop bringing migrants from Texas to New York City amid pending
lawsuit. Bus company Roadrunner Charters agreed on Wednesday to stop transporting
migrants from Texas to New York City and surrounding areas while a lawsuit is pending. The
agreement is part of a stipulation in which the city agreed to defer pursuing more than
$700 million incurred to care for all of the migrants bused to the city in the last two
years. The New York City Department of Social Services sued Roadrunner and 16 other bus
companies in December, accusing them of implementing Texas Gov. Abbott's "bad faith" plan to
bus migrants to New York for the purpose of making them a public charge.
How
Many Millions of Illegal Aliens in the Country Does the Democrat Party Need to Destroy
America? The Democrat's Ministry of Propaganda, the DHS-media complex, is trying to
leverage every psychological operational trick in the book to influence the narrative: there is no
invasion, the border is secure, and there are only a few million "climate refugees" in the
country. The liberal media has been disingenuous and hysterical; Fox News and the alternate
media are reporting relentlessly, with live video from the border, essentially reverse engineering
Democrat propaganda. Are Americans waking up to the fact that Washington Democrats are
domestic terrorists who have not only lied to them on what is happening at the border but that
there was another purpose to Biden opening the border to invaders? Destroy the Republican
Party, create one party rule, and welcome a communist government.
Biden's
Border Blowup. [Scroll down] In contrast, we know legal immigration
is America's great strength, but it has always depended on a few key prerequisites. In
contrast, we know legal immigration is America's great strength, but it has always depended on a
few key prerequisites. Why? Because only the host nation can adjudicate how many
immigrants it can successfully accept and assimilate. It has no desire to encourage
Balkanized tribalism so common in nations abroad torn apart by ethnic conflict. America must
have some knowledge of the background of immigrants, especially whether they have criminal records,
belong to gangs, are importing drugs, carry infectious diseases, or can be self-supporting.
By contrast, if the first thing immigrants do is illegally cross the American border, and the
second is to reside illegally in America, and the third is to obtain fraudulent identification to
mask that illegality, then they will establish long patterns of illegal behavior and disrespect for
their hosts.
Texas
immigration law blocked again, just hours after Supreme Court allowed state to arrest
migrants. Hours after the Supreme Court gave Texas officials permission to jail and
prosecute migrants suspected of crossing the U.S. southern border without authorization, an appeals
court late Tuesday blocked the state from enforcing its controversial immigration law known as SB4.
In a late-night order, a 5th Circuit Court of Appeals panel dissolved a pause that it issued in early
March to suspend a lower court ruling that found SB4 to be unconstitutional. The order reinstated
a ruling from U.S. District Court Judge David Ezra, who concluded in late February that SB4 conflicted
with federal immigration laws and the Constitution.
Supreme
Court Refuses to Block Texas From Arresting Illegal Immigrants. The Supreme Court has
acted. Texas is free to deal with illegal migrants in violation of immigration law by
arresting them. The Biden administration failed in its attempt to block a Texas law that
allows the state to arrest those suspected of violating U.S. Immigration law. The Biden
administration argued that the federal government may enforce or ignore immigration law as it sees
fit. It said states like Texas have no say in the matter and no recourse to defend
themselves. The court majority said no to this overreaching, and some justices were not
happy. Liberal Justice Sonia Sotomayor, joined by Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, wrote,
"Today, the Court invites further chaos and crisis in immigration enforcement." The court may
still reopen the issue as a constitutional matter later, but for now, the Biden administration may
not interfere with Texas. Biden had wanted an administrative stay to halt any action by Texas
as a way of shortcutting the process of appeals. The Texas migration law makes unauthorized
entry into the state, except at a port of entry, a state felony. While such entry is already
a federal crime, the Biden administration has turned a blind eye to the law. Texas now has a
free hand to defend its state borders. A federal judge attempted to stay the law's
implementation, but the 5th Circuit overturned that ruling. The Biden administration hoped
the Supreme Court would overrule the 5th Circuit. It did not.
Supreme
Court Allows Texas to Enforce Deportation Law. Earlier today the U.S. Supreme Court
voted 6-3 to allow Texas to enforce Texas Senate Bill 4 and resume arresting and deporting migrants
crossing the border illegally, as the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals continues litigation in
United States, Applicant v. Texas, et al. Texas Governor Greg Abbott believes the
Supreme Court's decision is a positive development as the case returns to the Fifth Circuit Court
of Appeals, stating on X, "BREAKING: In a 6-3 decision SCOTUS allows Texas to begin enforcing SB4
that allows the arrest of illegal immigrants. We still have to have hearings in the 5th
circuit federal court of appeals. But this is clearly a positive development."
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...
I'm all for it, provided that [#1] U.S. citizens are given priority in hiring and promotion,
and no worker who is a U.S. citizen will be replaced by a non-citizen; and [#2] the illegal aliens
acknowledge that whether employed or not, they can still be deported at any time; and [#3] the illegal
aliens are carefully screened for infectious diseases, parasites, and communicable illnesses, and
are vaccinated against all such diseases; and [#4] the criminal history of each illegal alien, beyond
his or her unlawful presence in this country, is investigated to the extent possible; and [#5] any
illegal alien who makes monetary remittances back to the country from which he or she "fled" to

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

Illegals to Continue Living Freely in U.S. Despite Awaiting Deportation: Report.
A federal report projects that there will be over 8 million illegal aliens living in the United
States, free to roam and do as they please, despite currently awaiting deportation proceedings by the
end of 2024. As reported by Breitbart, this will result in a tripling of the number of non-detained
illegals who otherwise would be detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) as they prepare
for deportation. By the end of Fiscal Year 2023, there were at least 6.2 million illegals
living in the U.S. who had not been detained by ICE despite facing deportation; 1.3 million of
these illegals had already been given final deportation orders by federal judges. The new
internal federal records, obtained by Axios, indicate that ICE will see that number explode to over
8 million by the end of 2024. For comparison, the number in 2020 was roughly one-third
of that amount, at just 3.2 million.
The
Biden Administration's Creative Rule-Breaking To Destroy The Border. Homeland
Security (DHS) Secretary Mayorkas opines that America's immigration crisis is an outcome of a
"system" that has been broken for thirty years. An honest Mayorkas would take ownership of a
crisis three years in the making. He would say that, by leveraging a record-breaking 535
immigration actions, we are giving millions of, at best, loosely vetted, mostly non-English
speaking "twilight" immigrants a pathway to citizenship, with no pesky conditions like good moral
character, self-reliance, adopting American values, speaking English, or obeying the law. It
wasn't always this way. It's true that, from the 1960s through the 1980s, Democrats loosened
immigration restrictions to encourage future Democratic voters to enter. However, in the
1990s, the United States stopped bowing to the UN's dictates on who to accept as refugees.
It's also when Bill Clinton authorized doubling down on protecting the southern border, making it
harder to claim asylum and easier to deport illegal aliens, along with changing welfare eligibility
for legal immigrants from one day to five years.
Senators
Rip FEMA on Poor Handling of Illegal Immigrant Travel. Key Senate Republicans blasted
the Federal Emergency Management Agency for shoddy record-keeping regarding the transportation of
illegal immigrants throughout the U.S. FEMA distributes grants to nonprofit organizations for
shelter and travel expenses for illegal immigrants, but last month informed The Heritage
Foundation's Oversight Project that it has no documentation about how that taxpayer money has been
spent. "It is becoming clearer every day that the Democrats' open-border catastrophe is not
only being orchestrated by the Biden administration, the American taxpayer is unwittingly being
forced to pay for this invasion," Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson, the top Republican on the Senate
Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, told The Daily Signal. The committee
oversees border and immigration issues. The FEMA admission that it lacks documentation for
expenses comes less than a year after an internal federal audit stated FEMA is responsible for "a
detailed accounting of all program funds."
The
Five FUBARs. [#2] Next is the border. You saw last year how the blob elite
greeted the transfer of illegal immigrants to their happy little island of Martha's Vineyard. (They
were not amused by Governor DeSantis's prank, and off-loaded the mutts post-haste.) But that same
smug demographic doesn't care if hundreds of thousands are distributed to the big cities, which are
now fiscally destabilized by them to an extreme, probably to bankruptcy. Of course, that is
not the main thing to worry about with what altogether amounts to millions of border-jumpers
flooding our land. The main reason to worry is what the blob that invited them here intends
for them to do, which, you may suspect, is to unleash mayhem in the streets, malls, stadiums, and
upon our infrastructure just in time to derail the election — perhaps even to make war
on us right in our homeland. The US government is paying for this whole operation, you
understand, funneling our tax money to international cut-out orgs who set up the transfer camps in
Panama, and buy the plane tickets for the mutts to cross the ocean, and coordinate with the Mexican
cartels to shuttle this horde of mystery people among us to work their juju for the Democratic
Party. The [anger] of the public has passed the red line on this treasonous scam.
DHS
won't say which airports are receiving inadmissible aliens from abroad. Thanks to an
ongoing Center for Immigration Studies Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit, the public now
knows that U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has approved secretive flights that last year
alone ferried hundreds of thousands of inadmissible aliens from foreign airports into some 43
American ones over the past year, all pre-approved on a cell phone app. But while large
immigrant-receiving cities and media lay blame for the influx on Texas Republican Gov. Greg
Abbott's busing program, CBP has withheld from the Center — and apparently will not
disclose — the names of the 43 U.S. airports that have received 320,000 inadmissible
aliens from January through December 2023, nor the foreign airports from which they
departed. The agency's lawyers have cited a general "law enforcement exception" without
elaborating — until recently — on how releasing airport locations would harm
public safety beyond citing "the sensitivity of the information." Now, though, CIS's
litigation has yielded a novel and newsworthy answer from the government: The public can't
know the receiving airports because those hundreds of thousands of CBP-authorized arrivals have
created such "operational vulnerabilities" at airports that "bad actors" could undermine law
enforcement efforts to "secure the United States border" if they knew the volume of CBP One traffic
processed at each port of entry.
Elon
Musk Exposes Biden's Little Known Program That Has Flown 320,000 Illegal Aliens Into the
Country. We know about the incredible mess that Joe Biden has created at the
border. But X owner Elon Musk pointed out an issue that most people don't even know about —
that not only is Biden leaving the door open for illegal aliens to come in, Biden was also flying
people into this country from other countries so they don't even have to cross the border
themselves. According to the report, Biden flew in 320,000 of them last year. Musk
expressed his concern about the national security threat that this posed. He thought the
failure to vet people was going to lead to "something far worse than 9/11." [Tweet]
Democrats
Promise Fraud and Insurrection. [Scroll down] [Texas State Attorney
General Ken Paxton] has just recently obtained a ruling that the 1.7 trillion dollar spending
bill passed by Nancy Pelosi was done unconstitutionally, because there was not a quorum of 50% of
elected representatives in the House during the vote. I don't know how one unspends money,
but all of those funds should be clawed back from wherever it went, especially if it went to the
UN, who is funding this invasion of the southern border with our tax dollars. The other thing
he has done is he has raided the Annunciation House on the charges of "alien harboring, human
smuggling and operating a stash house." He likewise did the same to two other "charities"
allegedly engaged in such illegal activities. It is the NGOs that have driven the illegal
immigration invasion on the southern border with funds from the UN and private donors like the Open
Society, [...] It is illegal for a charity, of any sort, to harbor, induce or incentivize illegal
activity, including illegal immigration, but they have been doing so consistently in coordination
with the the Department of Homeland Security, the Border Patrol and the Biden Administration.
When you understand that this is all tied to the idea of redrawing the congressional district maps
and ultimately giving these illegals voting rights, the whole scheme comes into focus.
Biden
administration ADMITS illegal migrant secret flying program that has transported over 320,000 has
national security 'vulnerabilities'. Joe Biden's administration has admitted
transporting migrants on secret flights into the U.S. and lawyers for its immigration agencies
claim revealing the locations could create national security 'vulnerabilities'. Customs and
Border Protection has refused to disclose information about a program last year secretly chartering
flights for thousands of undocumented immigrants from foreign airports directly to U.S.
cities. It means that while record numbers of migrants were flowing over the southern border
last year, the Biden White House was also directly transporting them into the country.
Supreme
Court temporarily halts rollout of Texas migrant arrest law. The Supreme Court on
Monday moved to temporarily halt the introduction of a new Texas law under which local authorities
would be allowed to arrest migrants believed to be illegally entering the country. In an
order issued by Justice Samuel Alito, the high court delayed the implementation of the measure
until 5 p.m. on March 13.
Appeals
Court Allows Law Authorizing Arrest of Illegals to Take Effect Barring SC Intervention.
On Thursday, we brought you news of a federal District Court ruling out of Texas that blocked the
state's recently enacted law (Senate Bill 4), which allowed state law enforcement officers to arrest
and detain those suspected of entering the country illegally. In his ruling, Judge David Ezra
held that the provision was an improper attempt by Texas to supersede federal law. Monday, in
addition to the blockbuster ruling out of the United States Supreme Court regarding the Colorado
ballot case involving former President Donald Trump, comes big news out of the Fifth Circuit regarding
the aforementioned Texas law. [Tweet]
There's
a reason we can't return to a time without immigration laws. Today, our public-school
children (along with most private school children, given that the teachers all come from the same
colleges) are taught that America is a foul, misbegotten country and that the nations that their
parents abandoned are better in every way. That's one reason we can't have unlimited
immigration: Our education system, rather than teaching patriotism and assimilation, is
teaching cultural hatred. Another reason we cannot have unlimited immigration is that the
Supreme Court has held that the 14th Amendment — which was clearly intended to apply to
people with deep roots in America whose ancestors had been brought here against their
will — actually applies to all illegal aliens. The toxic case is 1982's Plyler
v. Doe, another instance in which the Court stretched the Constitution to the breaking
point. Texas had argued that it had no obligation to place illegal aliens in public
schools. The Court's leftist majority, however, held that the 14th Amendment does not
distinguish between legal immigrants and illegal aliens ("any person within its jurisdiction").
The justices, however, cheated to reach that conclusion.
Election
year 'dignity' for illegals. The newest Biden mindbender — out of supposed
concern for "humanity and dignity" — involves guidelines that are expected to sharply
limit arrests and deportations carried out by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. In other
words, if you represent a potential illegitimate vote, you can break into a sovereign nation fully
confident that the person tasked to "take care that laws be faithfully executed," will exonerate
the offense. The Biden administration has placed new limits on who ICE can arrest, detain,
and deport. [...] Back in the day, protecting and defending the Constitution, our laws, and our
citizenry were what set the tone and example for our leaders. This new guideline is more like
setting a tone for disaster and establishing an example poised to negatively impact our country for
years. The irony of it all is that adherents of the political ideology that have spent more
than 50 years trying to convince Americans that the dignity of life does not apply to humans
gestating in the womb, is now voicing supposed concern for human dignity as an excuse to impose
more absurdity on a nation already teetering on the precipice of collapse.
Left With
the Ashes. We're too far down the rabbit hole of debt to ever emerge and people like
Mike Johnson are just handing us shovels to go deeper. This continuing resolution that they
just passed denies the overwhelming leverage the House has with the border issue. Securing
the border now has almost 80% support, but Johnson refused to use shutting down the government as
leverage until Biden shuts down the border. As an added poke in the eye, they did nothing
about the spiraling debt or the Pelosi-era spending rate. Inflation continues to pile on and
it's clear as a bell that Washington cannot be reformed soon enough to solve any of these issues.
[...] The House could solve the border problem on it's own, but it hasn't, because that would mean
cutting spending and one might as well suggest setting themselves on fire. If they cut all
spending to the UN, refused to fund any NGO that deals with immigration issues of any sort, refused
to fund any grants given to sanctuary cities and refused to provide any relief to states for
immigration expenses, there would be no crowds at the border, because there would be no incentive.
The
End of Assimilation. America's open borders have put huge strains on our social
services, schools, and police departments, let alone facilitating drug addiction and human
sex-trafficking. Donald Trump has promised to shut the door on day one of his administration,
but even if Trump is elected, the damage will continue for decades. Graphic pictures of
cities inundated with illegals only reflect the beginning of a disaster. The deeper problem
is that nearly all illegals arrive embracing values against core American principles. They
are "aliens" both legally and in terms of our political culture. Modern immigration is
wholly unlike that of the earliest days, when most immigrants were of English ancestry and quickly
integrated into society. Today, by contrast, those flooding into the United States arrive
from almost every nation on the planet, including places like El Salvador, Kazakhstan, India,
Ghana, China, Syria, Cuba, and Vietnam. Those newly arrived Muslims clustering in places
like Dearborn, Mich. have altered the political landscape thanks to their vociferous support for
Hamas, and this new voice may be a harbinger of future Balkanization.
If Nicaragua is so great, why not live there? If Africa is so bad, why do "African-Americans" demand reparations?
In
Senegal's capital, Nicaragua is a hot ticket among travel agents as migrants try to reach US.
Gueva Ba tried to reach Europe by boat 11 times from Morocco, failing each attempt.
Then, in 2023, the former welder heard about a new route to the United States by flying to
Nicaragua and making the rest of the journey illegally by land to Mexico's northern border. "In
Senegal, it's all over the streets — everyone's talking about Nicaragua, Nicaragua,
Nicaragua," said Ba, who paid about 6 million CFA francs ($10,000) to get to Nicaragua in July
with stops in Morocco, Spain and El Salvador. "It's not something hidden." Ba, 40, was
deported from the U.S. with 131 compatriots in September after two months in detention, but
thousands of other Senegalese have gained a foothold in America. Many turn to savvy travel
agents who know the route — touted on social media by those who've successfully settled
in the U.S. They are part of a surge in migration to the United States that is extraordinary
for its size and scope, with more people from far-flung countries accounting for crossings at the border.
Stop
Weaseling. Shut Down the Government on March 8. This below is migrant camp
infrastructure at the border in Panama. There are scores of these all along the border, all
through Mexico, Central America, the southern U.S. and Panama. You know what? They are
building more, they are maxing out the infrastructure three or four times. The Prime
Ministers of Costa Rica and Nicaragua are quadrupling the numbers of busses to take migrants from
their countries to the U.S. border. All across the southern states, there are warehouses
filled with migrants. A decommissioned Walmart warehouse near Houston holds 1,500 migrant
boys. There are dozens of those all through the U.S. [Photo] The migrants are mostly
military-aged men. This is an invasion. And they are coming to kill us, one way or
another, according to the most experienced and committed reporter on the scene, who has examined
every aspect of this for more than two decades, Michael Yon. He has travelled the routes, and
interviewed thousands.
American
Paralysis and Decline. We know that no state can long exist after opening its borders
to over 7 million illegal aliens, requiring neither background checks nor legality. The
recent murder of a Georgia female jogger by an illegal alien and the savage beating of New York
policemen by similar others hardly merit media attention. Everyone knows that neither new
appropriations nor new laws are needed to secure the border as it was in 2020. Instead, we
could just stop suicidal catch-and-release, deport lawbreakers, privilege the legal over the
illegal immigrant, demand would-be refugees apply for asylum first in their native countries,
finish the border wall, and pressure Mexico to stop undermining the territorial integrity of its
northern neighbor. But then we shrug, "We can't do that" — paralyzed in fear of
being smeared as "xenophobic," "nativist," or "racist." So this generation apparently feels
that it can endure the collateral damage of daily assaults on American citizens, the near
bankruptcy of our cities, and 100,000 fentanyl deaths per year — but certainly not the
idea that it is somehow not politically correct or compassionate.
Illegal
Aliens to Get Interest-Free Home Loans Under New Democrat-Backed California Bill.
Illegal aliens will get interest-free home mortgage loans under a new California bill.
Democrat assemblymember Joaquin Arambula (Fresno) recently introduced Assembly Bill 1840 to extend
a first-time homebuyer loan program to illegal aliens. If the bill becomes law, illegal
aliens will be eligible for a new program that offers a loan worth 20% of the purchase price of the
residential property. There are no monthly payments and no interest accrues on the loan.
Rather, the loan is paid back when the borrower refinances or sells the property. The borrower
will have to pay back the original loan plus a 20% increase in the value of the property.
Court
Affirms Arizona's Need To Keep Noncitizens Off Voter Rolls, But Makes It Harder To Do So.
A federal judge on Thursday acknowledged Arizona's interest in keeping its voter rolls free of
noncitizens, while simultaneously hampering laws designed to do just that. "Considering the
evidence as a whole, the court concludes that Arizona's interests in preventing non-citizens from
voting and promoting public confidence in Arizona's elections outweighs the limited burden voters
might encounter when required to provide" documentary proof of citizenship, wrote U.S. District
Judge Susan Bolton, disagreeing with the attempt by President Joe Biden's Justice Department to
paint Arizona election integrity laws as "discriminatory." But at the same time, Bolton struck
down or handicapped a handful of Arizona laws designed to ensure that only Arizona citizens are on
the state's voter rolls, including a provision of H.B. 2243 that directed county recorders who have
"reason to believe" voters are not citizens to investigate, and potentially remove, those
individuals from the voter rolls.
Federal
Judge Blocks New Texas Law To Arrest Illegal Immigrants. This entire thing will end
up targeting the People of the united States more than it will anyone suspected of being here
illegally. Soon, and it's pretty close to that now, it will merely be "Show me your papers."
However, a new law in Texas that would allow for the arrest of someone suspected of entering the
country illegally was temporarily blocked by a federal judge.
Federal
Judge Blocks New Texas Law to Arrest Illegal Immigrants. A federal judge on Thursday
temporarily blocked a Texas law that grants state police the capacity to arrest people who are
suspected of illegally crossing the U.S.-Mexico border. The measure, called Senate Bill 4 and
signed by Gov. Greg Abbott in December, was slated to go into effect on March 5, but U.S.
District Judge David Ezra ruled that it violated the U.S. Constitution's Supremacy clause that
grants the federal government sole authority over immigration matters. The judge also
rejected Texas's arguments that it was being invaded under the Constitution's Article IV.
In his order, Judge Ezra, a Reagan appointee, said the law would run afoul federal immigration laws
and claimed Texas would then be able to "permanently supersede federal directives" and would
"amount to nullification of federal law and authority." According to the judge, that's a "notion
that is antithetical to the Constitution and has been unequivocally rejected by federal courts
since the Civil War." As a result, he argued, the federal government would "suffer grave
irreparable harm" because other states would be inspired to pass similar measures.
At
Least 44 US-Bound Migrants Arrested After Migrants Destroy Shelter, Vehicles In Fight.
Panamanian authorities arrested 44 migrants after a fight broke out early Saturday at a shelter,
leading to the destruction of 10 modular shelter units and vehicles, according to official
statements. An altercation ensued between two female migrants over a tent in the
San Vicente temporary immigration reception station, according to a statement by Panama's
Security Ministry. The partners of both migrants reportedly intervened in the
incident, triggering a "fight" between the different groups, according to the statement.
Panama's National Border Service, SENAFRONT, reportedly attempted to restore order, but were
challenged by approximately 250 migrants and required reinforcements, the statement noted.
The "migrants caused serious damage to the San Vicente shelter, where they destroyed official and
civilian vehicles," and set at least 10 modular units on fire, according to the statement.
Pictures appearing to show burning and burned trailers and a government pickup truck with deflated
tires accompanied the statement.
Since
1965, Democrats Have Exploited Immigration For Political Power. John F. Kennedy
coined the term "a nation of immigrants" for his 1958 book of the same name. Kennedy was
proud of the immigrants who built the most prosperous nation on earth. He wanted more of the
same, as do all Americans. But that's not what Americans are getting. Instead, they're
getting a government that's been manipulating immigration policies for over half a century to
maintain political power. In the process, they are undermining a foundation that turned a
fledgling nation into a global power in less than 150 years. Democrat policies (aided by
Republicans) have encouraged millions of, at best, loosely vetted immigrants to live in
America. They've simultaneously dismissed the importance of good moral character and the need
to integrate immigrants by having them adopt American values. No wonder so almost 90% of
Americans believe that uncontrolled illegal immigration is a threat to America.
Maine
residents in uproar over $13 million 'Taj Mahal' migrant housing complex.
Residents of a Maine town have hit out at the $13million construction of a complex of 60 apartments
for asylum seekers, where they can live rent free for two years then pay a fraction of the rental
price. Locals in Brunswick have expressed fury over the project, which is being funded by a
mix of private and public money and which has been heavily criticized by Donald Trump Jr. The
apartment complex in Brunswick is one of the many projects being launched by the town in what
critics have labeled a 'Taj Mahal', red-carpet welcome for asylum seekers.
Texas
Law Allowing Police to Arrest, Deport Illegal Immigrants Blocked by Federal Judge. A
federal judge on Thursday blocked a Texas law that would have empowered local and state law
enforcement to arrest and deport illegal immigrants who cross the Southern border into the U.S.
The legislation, signed by Governor Greg Abbott in December, was set to take effect March 5.
However, U.S. district judge David Ezra ruled that Senate Bill 4 violated the Constitution and
prior legal precedent that gives the federal government the sole authority to enforce immigration
laws and policies. Ezra also rejected Texas's claims that the record surge in immigration
constitutes an "invasion," which Abbott declared in January under Article I of the Constitution.
"To allow Texas to permanently supersede federal directives on the basis of an invasion would amount to
nullification of federal law and authority — a notion that is antithetical to the Constitution
and has been unequivocally rejected by federal courts since the Civil War," the judge wrote in his order.
Staffers
at unmarked building refuse to answer questions about housing migrants. Workers at an
unmarked building suspected of housing migrants in Tuscon, Ariz. refused to answer Fox News' Rachel
Campos-Duffy's questions and asked her to leave the facility, she reported Monday [2/26/2024].
The "Fox & Friends Weekend" host received a tip to investigate the facility Casa Alitas, which had
all signs removed from its exterior. She explained the lack of signs was a signal it was an
NGO — non-governmental organization — housing illegal immigrants. After
asking if she could book a room, a woman behind the hotel counter asked Campos-Duffy to leave the
building, claiming she was on "private property." The woman refused to answer questions about
whose property it was, instead asking security to escort Campos-Duffy out of the building.
Migrants
[are being] Handed Spacious Apartments for Free as New Yorkers [are] Left Paying Thousands for Tiny
Rooms. Illegal border crossers in New York City continue to be afforded thousands of
dollars monthly in free rent for apartments and hotel rooms as Big Apple citizens are forced to pay
thousands a month for tiny apartments. The New York Times, for instance, published a lengthy
article on Feb. 25 celebrating the "resettlement" of 170 migrant families who have been moved
from city-paid hotel rooms to suburban Central Islip and other areas where they are being given
upwards to $2,500 a month in free rent. One illegal from Venezuela, who moved from a
Manhattan hotel — where she and her children had one room, a microwave, a mini-fridge,
and a table and chair — into a spacious, two-bedroom apartment in the near eastern
suburb, gushed about the program. "To come from where we have come from, and to be here," she
marveled to the paper. "For some people this may be a small apartment, but for me this is huge."
Coming
attractions: border violator immunity from prosecution? Overrun by human waves of
unlawful migrants and thwarted by the Supreme Court last year in its effort to force federal
enforcement of existing law, Texas enacted its own illegal entry law set to take effect on Super
Tuesday, March 5, 2024. The law is known as Texas Senate Bill 4, or SB4. The Biden
lawsuit against Texas and SB4 pending in the U.S. District Court sends a stark message to
governors, cartels, and their U.S. enablers: border violators are immune from state judicial
process. Foreign diplomats never had it so good, and gangs like MS-13, 18th Street, and
Venezuela's Tren de Aragua are surely taking note. But the Biden initiative against Texas SB4
is just the latest chapter in a continuing saga of immunizing border violators from the consequences
of their illegal conduct.
Arizona
Reeling: Tucson, Pima County Scrambling as Biden Border Crisis Explodes. Pima
County, Arizona, and the city of Tucson are scrambling as Biden's border crisis continues to wreak
havoc on American border states. Tucson officials are engaging in a frenzied search for a
place to house illegal immigrants as federal funding comes to an end. And some are suggesting
that the illegal border crossers should be bused to Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in south
Tucson. Officials are desperately making plans ahead of the expected wave of illegal aliens
likely to begin being dropped off at the end of March by Biden's U.S. Customs and Border Protection
agents, according to AZMirror. Tucson Mayor Regina Romero has been "sounding the alarm" and
said it is important to get the city's plans to meet the next wave of Biden's illegal immigrants
before they come.
Venezuela
Halts Deportation Flights From US. Of the nearly nine million illegal migrants that
Joe Biden has allowed into the United States since taking office, a significant percentage of them
came here from Venezuela. There were 50.000 of them just in the month of September, setting a
record that still stands today. The vast majority of them were simply allowed to stay,
receiving court dates to make their asylum claims as much as a decade in the future. But to
his credit, Biden managed to have a small number of the worst of the worst rounded up from time to
time and put on planes to fly back to their native country. That process began last October
after an informal agreement was reached between the White House and Nicolas Maduro. But now
the flights have ended after Biden reimposed some sanctions on Venezuela over its failure to
proceed with fair and open elections. Maduro ordered a ban on deportation flights and there
are few signs that this will change in the near future. So what do we do with the migrants now?
Former
Panama Border Chief: UN Is Behind the Chaos at U.S.-Mexico Border. Documents
show that in 2023, a record 500,000 migrants traveled through the dense jungle known as the Darien
Gap from Colombia into Panama. Migrants from around the world are flying into South and
Central America to start their journey because countries such as Suriname and Ecuador don't require
a visa to enter. Their final destination is the United States. The book "Weapons of
Mass Migration: Forced Displacement, Coercion, and Foreign Policy," written by Kelly
Greenhill, suggests that weaker countries are using migration to destabilize their more powerful
adversaries. Joseph Humire is the executive director of the Center for a Secure Free Society
and an expert on unconventional warfare. He told The Epoch Times that he believes that's what
Americans are seeing at the U.S. southern border now. "This isn't a conspiracy theory," he
said; the "invasion" at the U.S. southern border is "strategic engineered migration."
Work
permits for illegals: the fast track to citizenship. If one looks at this
administration's border-security actions from a similar perspective, it is clear that they desire
the introduction of millions of illegal aliens into the country. Of this there is no
doubt. The only question is, why? If you can believe the government's numbers, at least
10 million illegal aliens have entered the country on Joe Biden's watch and millions more are
on the way. They are overwhelming the financial and social fabric of the country.
Housing, welfare, hospitals, and medical care, education; in a very short period of time their care
is already on the verge of bankrupting cities and states across the country. Why we must care
for these lawbreakers is never discussed, it is just assumed. Many citizens wish they were
treated as well. Now, many advocates are calling for work permits to be granted to these
millions of low-skilled illegal aliens. You will hear they just want to work so let them be
self-sufficient. This too is part of the plan. This too is part of the "why."
What
Shall We Call The New State. In three short years, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and
Alejandro Mayorkas have let enough illegal migrants breach our southern border that if we brought
them all to one spot, they would total more than 36 states in our Union. If that is
tough to grasp, we now have more illegals from over 150 countries than the residents of
Massachusetts, Missouri, or Wisconsin. The Democrats are on a mission to award statehood to
D.C. and Puerto Rico to add Senators and Representatives to Congress that would give them an
insurmountable edge forever. The 7 Million migrants represent ten members of the House
if they could be brought to one location. You can bet the Democrats are trying to get this
done. I have some state name suggestions: Bidenland and New Amnesty — rather
simplistic, but you get the point. The number of people now scattered around America will change
America's complexion but also threaten every American's safety.
Why
are Hispanics Mobilizing Around Trump? [Scroll down] People of hispanic
origin in the USA are [angry] and scared. And they are coming to CPAC to get involved and to
support Trump. Because this group of Americans see Trump as the one candidate who will secure
the border. Who will fix the economy. Eva believes that the number one reason hispanics
in this country legally have come to the USA is for safety. To escape the drug lords, gangs,
lawlessness and corrupt governments. Many have been persecuted, like Eva was — in the
country of their birth. They recognize that the porous border is a danger to the American way of
life. To being safe. That the urban centers in the USA are being overwhelmed with
people who do not deserve to be here. They have not earned it. They have cheated to get
here. Furthermore, while this group of legal immigrants had to work and continue to work, the
US government is putting the illegal immigrants in the front of the line, displacing people who are
here legally and going through the proper channels.
A
Stunning 10 Million Illegals Have Entered The US Under Biden. A record
7.3 million illegal aliens have crossed the southwest border under President Biden's watch, a
number which according to Fox News.is greater than the population of 36 individual states.
That figure is sourced from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection, which has already reported
961,537 Southwest land border encounters in the current fiscal year, which runs from October
through September, and if the current pace of illegal immigration does not slow down, fiscal year
2024 will break last year's record of 2,475,669 southwest border encounters — a number
that by itself exceeds the population of New Mexico. The total number of southwest land
border encounters since Biden assumed office in 2021 is 7,298,486, CBP data shows.
Appeals
Court Upholds Ruling Striking Down NYC Voting Rights for Foreigners. A New York
appeals court upheld a prior ruling that struck down a New York City law giving local voting rights
to nearly a million foreign nationals. As Breitbart News chronicled, Democrats on the
51-member New York City Council approved a plan in January 2022 that gave more than 800,000
foreign nationals with green cards, visas, and work permits the opportunity to vote in citywide
elections so long as they have resided in the city for at least 30 consecutive days. Black
New Yorkers, along with naturalized American citizens, the New York State Republican Party, the
Republican National Committee (RNC), and Democrat officials like Councilman Robert Holden
subsequently sued Mayor Eric Adams (D) and the city's Board of Elections.
New
York to hand out $10,000 cards to illegals, no I.D. required, what could go wrong?
For a mayor who claims that the migrant influx is going bankrupt his city, he sure has a funny way
of responding to it. [...] Just on the surface, the plan stinks, as the $53 million to be
spent was doled out by a no-bid contract. It gets worse when one learns from the Gelinas
report that the $53 million is just the set-up fee. The money to be doled out to the
migrants is extra. Worse still, the migrants will be entitled to as much as $10,000 a month
at city expense, the pre-loaded debit cards to be doled out on the honor system that migrants will
spend that free cash only for food and baby supplies. The idea of handing out cash was based
on news that migrants were throwing out their food and the food handed out on a no-bid contract was
spoiled and rotten.
Even
Illegal Immigrants Have It Tough. With literally uncounted millions of illegals
having crossed the border, the competition for illegal jobs has heated up. [...] What, exactly, did
they expect? And, I wonder, how many tax dollars are going to support them already?
That second question is, practically speaking for Americans, the more immediately relevant one, but
only by answering the first can we get a handle on how to solve this problem long term. Even
if we don't know precisely what these particular illegal immigrants thought when they trekked from
whatever country they originated, we do know the answers to both these questions. How much
are we spending on illegal aliens? Way too much. The dollar figures only matter in the
abstract; the real answer is that our cities and our social services are groaning under the weight
of millions of illegals.
The
border crisis has brought chaos to America. It is no exaggeration to say that the
latest wave of migrants has caused a crisis. This unexpected influx has overwhelmed towns and
cities across the country and left them straining to find the funds to house and feed these
newcomers. Local news is full of stories of crimes being committed by newly arrived
migrants. Americans increasingly recognise that the situation is out of control. Some
three-quarters say the condition of the south-west border is a 'crisis' or 'very serious'. In fact,
immigration has become the primary concern of American voters, recently overtaking even inflation
and the economy. Until recently, President Joe Biden and his fellow Democrats tried to argue
that Republicans were exaggerating the border problem. But as the situation has deteriorated,
that line has been harder to maintain. This is a crisis of Biden's own making. Biden,
along with secretary of homeland security Alejandro Mayorkas and others in the administration, have
systematically adopted measures that have encouraged a largely unrestrained inflow of migrants.
Border
Patrol Union Unleashes on Biden in Short But Hard-Hitting Open Letter. Sometimes less
says more. The Border Patrol Union proved it Monday with a social media post on X. The
union shared a very concise letter to President Joe Biden. Fewer than 50 words, the message
was short but sweet and to the point. "Dear Joe, You OWN this catastrophic disaster at the
border — lock, stock and barrel," the union wrote on the National Border Patrol Council
account. "You created it. You nursed it along. You encouraged it. You facilitated
it. It's all yours. Don't run from it now like a coward. Signed, The BP agents
you've thrown under the bus."
The
Military Junta Called "The Democracy". On Saturday night I watched Tucker Carlson's
interview with Michael Benz, the link sent to me by a reader, and found out that I have, like many
others, been a warrior against a military junta that has taken over our government. [...] What you
are seeing in Texas is that conflict. The people want one thing and this military junta, "the
democracy" wants another thing. Now, "the democracy" wants to train mid-western troops,
basically blue-state national guard troops, to engage Texas troops and red-state guard
troops. All of this is already being led by social media mal-information promulgated by "the
democracy" and their compromised social media cohorts. They are the warmongers, they are
pushing this conflict against the will of the people. They have subverted representative
government, because they are afraid of losing control, of having their actions in 2016 and 2020
known and believed by the people. They are afraid of a real rebellion against them.
They have declared war. This is not politics.
Mayor
Adams [intends] to Cut 6,000 Police to Fund Illegal Immigration. In a city engulfed
in crime, Mayor Eric Adams has decided to cut the police force by 6000 officers. The result
is NY police officers will be cut by 1/5, or 13.5%, by postponing the next 5 Academy classes,
bringing officers below 30,000, down from 36,000. These are the numbers we saw in the 80s and
90s. This is being done to house and feed anonymous, unvetted illegal aliens from around the
world. Many of these people coming are criminals, terrorists, and freeloaders coming for the
benefits. I feel sorry for the people who are truly asylum seekers, but it is a very small
number. Democrats have decided to call all of the illegal aliens, refugees, or asylum seekers
to further their political agenda, which is the same agenda we see fulfilled throughout Europe.
ICE
Plans Mass Release of Thousands of Illegal Aliens. ICE has plans ready to do a mass
release of thousands of illegal aliens. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) justifies
this lunacy by stating it needs to cut detainee holding capacity. Blame it on a budget
shortfall. That shortfall would have been funded in the Senate foreign aid package the House
refused to bring up for a vote. [...] This alleged mass release plan has not been made
public. Shocker, I know. DHS is one of the most non-transparent departments in the
Biden administration. Now it is openly threatening Republicans over funding. The report
probably didn't get the attention it deserves because of all the other chaos created by the Biden
administration in the news over the past couple of weeks. The Hur report was released, the
impeachment of DHS Secretary Mayorkas, and the Trump court cases have consumed most of the news
cycles each day. The immigration/border security bill should have been a stand-alone bill,
not tossed in with big financial packages for Ukraine and Israel, as well as Taiwan.
Illegal
Immigration's Potential Impact on U.S. House, Electoral College. Shortly after taking
office in January 2021, President Biden signed an executive order requiring that the U.S.
Census Bureau factor in all residents, including noncitizens, as part of its decennial calculation
of the U.S. population. As a result, the apportionment of House seats and, therefore,
electoral votes for presidential elections, could be swayed as migrants continue to pour over the
southern border. "Illegal immigration has all kinds of effects and among them is that it
distorts the mechanics of democratic government," Mark Krikorian, the executive director of the
Center for Immigration Studies, told Fox News Digital in an interview. "Illegal immigrants
aren't even supposed to be here, so their inclusion in the census count for purposes of
apportionment really is outrageous."
Eagle-eyed
residents reveal sophisticated migrant smuggling operation at northern US border.
Unsettling [New York] Post footage and interviews with US residents along the Canadian border offer
a rare glimpse into the thriving migrant smuggling operation that has taken hold up north in
addition to the debacle to the south. Residents of bucolic Swanton, Vt. — a town
of about 6,500 people located just across Lake Champlain from New York and about a 10-minute
drive from the Canadian border — have been getting a troubling firsthand look at the
US's northern illegal migrant crisis for months. The town's plentiful woods make the leafy
hamlet an ideal spot for hunters — and also provide ample camouflage for smugglers, who
have become so rampant that some locals are packing pistols to protect themselves and turning into
amateur sleuths to help thwart them.
Mass
Deportation — It CAN Be Done. It's going to be difficult to get tens of
millions of illegals out of the country. If there were some fear of that happening, the
Democratic Party would rise up and steal as much of the American taxpayers' money as necessary to
protect this future constituency of theirs. Corporations that want cheap labor would press
politicians with threats of reduced campaign money, and everybody knows politicians love other
people's money more than they love anything else. The illegals themselves would disappear
under rocks, into holes in the ground, and into every cavity and crevice they could find to escape
deportation. All they would then need to do is occasionally find their way to the nearest
Democratic Party-run welfare office, get their money, and then disappear again. Removing
these people from America will be a Herculean task. The Democrats know that and are chuckling
all the way to the mail-in ballot box. But, as difficult as it may be, mass deportation CAN
be done.
America's
Open Border — Intentionality or Incompetence? It's clear that America's
open border is an unmitigated disaster, allowing over 300,000 known migrants to enter the U.S. each
month. Migrants are arriving from all over the world, including from geopolitical adversaries
like China and Afghanistan. Few are vetted, meaning their health, criminal, education,
vocations, literacy, and motivations are unknown. Anyone can ask for political asylum, as
they are coached to do. To federal border agents, they are a massive herd of cattle, and it's
all they can do just to get them across the border, feed and hydrate them, and put them on plane to
Denver, New York, or Chicago. There are also an unknown number of euphemistically called
"gotaways," those waltzing into the U.S., not encountering a border agent, then just disappearing
somewhere into America's fruited plains. How many? CBP reports over 1,000 "known
"gotaways" a day. Recently impeached DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas acknowledges 600,000
"gotaways" in 2023. These are the "known" ones. How many are unknown? Likely at least
as many as known. In total, this is more than the 3.9 million population of Los Angeles
added to America's welfare rolls each year.
Biden's
border blackmail. One week after Senate Republicans rejected White House-backed
legislation that would have sent $3.7 billion to bail out sanctuary cities while also
mandating the catch and release of all migrants arrested for illegally entering America from
Mexico, Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials threatened to release thousands more migrants
into the U.S. by slashing capacity to detain them at the border. This unveiled threat by
President Joe Biden is despicable, but is also laughably empty, for the cuts he is threatening are
to the exact levels his administration sought in his last budget. Biden's plan to deal with
budget shortfalls at ICE, caused entirely by his misgovernment of the border, is just a rehash of
how he wanted to deploy ICE resources in the first place. When Biden became president, ICE
could detain more than 55,000 migrants at one time. Immediately upon taking office, Biden
began dismantling this detention capacity to just 29,000 beds. He has sought to lower it
further, requesting 25,000 detention beds in each of his last two budget requests.
Illegals
Nation: A 'great replacement' beginning to unfold? Up until now, I'd always
thought the 'great replacement' theory to remove the current Western electorate and replace them
with third-world illegal migrants was some nutty fringe-right conspiracy theory. The idea has
been roundly denounced by the establishment as racist, although the French novelist who invented
the theory in 2011, Renaud Camus, insisted that his theory was about civilizational values, not
skin color. These days, based on how the migrant crisis is unfolding in a couple of
developments, it's possible to wonder. [...] Much of the concern about open borders up until now
has been about illegal immigrants voting in U.S. elections, which as Power Line has noted, is
already happening in California. However, based on this information, all they need to do is
be illegally present, not vote, voting in fact is unimportant because entire congressional seats
will be allocated based on their presence alone.
Homeland
Security: We Don't Track Illegal Immigrants. The Biden Administration has made
it clear that they want to flood the country and are happy they are moving around freely. In
fact, they get free flights and bus trips, and their entry papers are as good as a passport,
allowing them to go wherever they want no questions asked. So when a Washington Post reporter
asked about where the illegal immigrants are going, the Department replied with what amounts to a
shrug. Who knows? [Tweet]
Under
the Democrats' Rule, America Has Become A Failed State. Since Joe Biden has been
president, almost 10 million people, mostly military-aged males, have poured across our
border. American taxpayers must support virtually every one of them. To put that in
perspective, if they were a state, the illegal aliens who arrived since Biden's inauguration would
be the 11th largest state, just above New Jersey and just below Michigan. Add to that the
20 million illegals already here, and they would be a larger population than every state other
than California and Texas. But it's not just that the government is allowing millions of
people to invade the country. It's also what governments are doing once the invaders are
here. Boston closed a community center to house the illegals. New York City has been
paying tens of millions of dollars to hotels to house them and recently forced kids to attend
school online because their schools were filled with illegals. What's more, two weeks ago,
New York's mayor announced the city would give $53 million in prepaid debit cards to
illegals. Astonishingly, some places give illegals more than citizens on welfare! All
of this costs likely more than $300 billion a year, twice widely circulated estimates of
$150 billion that base their number on the laughable assumption that there are only
15 million illegal aliens in America when the number is likely more than 30 million.
The Editor says...
Reasonable estimates seen on the internet (but certainly not in the broadcast news media) said
"the number is likely more than 30 million" at least ten years ago — long before
the Mexican border was intentionally opened up.
Report:
Illegal Border Crossings Are Now Surging at the Northern Border Too. While most
people are focused on the invasion currently taking place on the southern border, America's
northern border is also under assault. According to recent reporting, illegal border crossers
are attracted to the northern border because they know there are far fewer security staffers and
border patrol agents. This story doesn't get nearly as much media attention as the southern
border, but it's just as important.
Why
does it seem like most members of Congress are either stupid, rapacious, or both?
Biden's list of failures is long and well-known, from the Afghanistan withdrawal to provoking Putin
to invade Ukraine, to interfering with Israel's war against Hamas; these are just some of the
lowlights. The biggest and most egregious catastrophe is the open border and his standing
invitation to any and all foreigners who can afford to make the trip (they all pay the cartels and
coyotes). The nation has been invaded, our demographics permanently altered, by perhaps as many as
ten million unvetted persons from 170 countries. NYC and Chicago have been
destroyed. Denver, a sanctuary city, has been overrun, its hospital in breakdown mode.
Most homes and ranches on the border have been ruined. Homeowners find dead bodies on their
land. If they defend themselves against criminal migrants, it is the homeowner who is
arrested. The world is upside down.
What
Is Congress For? [Scroll down] But nowadays, it seems that most Americans
have forgotten what that war was all about. And the fact that Mayorkas's impeachment passed
the House by only one vote, and is dead on arrival in the Senate, does not bode well for our
country's future. Basically, about half the members of Congress are saying that it's okay for
a Cabinet secretary to nullify immigration laws and let ten million foreigners illegally enter the
United States, so long as he's acting in service of ideology rather than doing it for a bribe.
House
Votes to Impeach Mayorkas. The House on Tuesday voted for a second time to impeach
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas after the first vote failed last week. This
time, Republicans received the outcome they sought. "Tonight's vote was a vote for law and
order in our communities, and a vote to restore the rule of law at our southern border,"
Rep. John Joyce, R-Penn., told The Daily Signal. On Tuesday night, 214 House members
voted in favor of impeaching the DHS secretary, and 213 voted in opposition. No Democrats
voted in favor. Three Republicans, Reps. Mike Gallagher of Wisconsin, Ken Buck of
Colorado, and Tom McClintock of California, also voted for a second time against impeachment.
Dodging
the 13th Amendment. Boston TV stations are airing "exclusives" this Valentine's Week
about area residents taking illegal aliens — refugees in wokespeak — into
their homes. [...] Quartering illegals in homes, too, is a disaster waiting to happen as liberals
spin the dial of strangers in the house and someone gets macheted. But that is the chance you
take when you want free labor. [...] Of course, for every nice illegal alien who cooks, Democrats
let in a gangbanger, a drug dealer, a Chinese spy and a Muslim terrorist. Nightly soft-focus
exclusives on Boston TV stations won't change that. White Democrats have a history of liking
food prepared by black cooks who smile and work for free. Two centuries ago, Democrats took
into their plantations refugees from the kingdoms of Ghana and Dahomey, where they had served as
slaves. In America, they taught them to farm and grow cotton. They got room and board
in exchange for the cotton. Democrats had no problem with that arrangement.
Biden's
rage and crapulence, staff's cowardice and ignorance, all worsened border crisis —
Axios. [Scroll down] Senile or not, someone like that is no leader and
obviously doesn't know what he's doing. Other reports have stated that he took his marching
orders solely from open-borders activists. [...] Meanwhile, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan
turned his end of the migration crisis over to someone named Liz Sherwood-Randall whose title was
Homeland Security advisor, and who was so ignorant about the matter she didn't know the difference
between an asylum-seeker and a refugee. Rather than cover her tracks by secretly googling the
difference, she asked staff to prepare a briefing for her on this Wikipedia-level matter.
There was finger-pointing at the Department of State for "dragging its feet" on migrant intake
centers in countries of origin, which is baloney, and State rightly denied it because we have been
following this issue, and there was constant staff turnover since everyone knew it was a mess and
nobody wanted to have their name on it. They fought with each other, with some clearly
cognizant of what was happening and others in the throes of the open-borders activists who
obviously have a monetary interest in perpetuating the crisis.
'We
Are in The Thick of an Invasion': More than 12,000 Illegal Aliens from 48 Countries
Apprehended in Tucson Sector Alone This Week. 12,081 illegal aliens were apprehended
from 48 separate countries in the U.S Border Patrol's Tucson Sector during this past week, reported
the Tucson Standard. The publication was reporting on data shared on X by John R. Modlin,
Chief Patrol Agent of the sector: [Tweet] Arizona State Sen. Janae Shamp (R-Surprise)
said the numbers are further evidence that we are in "the thick of an invasion," telling the NW
Valley Times: ["]Thanks to the Biden Administration's refusal to secure our border, the
illegal activity — including an unprecedented amount of human smuggling and drug
smuggling — are no longer mere issues. We are in the thick of an invasion.
It's time to take the handcuffs off our sheriffs who have been elected to protect the citizens of
Arizona, which is why I introduced the Arizona Border Invasion Act — SB 1231.["]
Shamp's bill would make it a crime in Arizona to cross the border from Mexico into the state,
except through official ports of entry. It would also provide liability protections for state
and local officials who enforce the law.
Mayorkas
Says He Does Not Regret Terminating Trump's 'Remain In Mexico' Policy After Millions of
Military-Age Males Invade [the] US. More deflection, more excuses. The Biden
regime has had three years to lock down the border and they simply refused to do so. DHS
Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas was on NBC's "Meet The Press" on Sunday morning to talk about the
border crisis. "You have now been in your position for three years, and let's talk about what's
happened during those three years. More migrants have crossed the border illegally last year
than ever before," Kristin Welker said to Secretary Mayorkas. "The data you cite is a powerful
example of why we need legislation to fix what everyone agrees is a broken immigration system[,]"
Secretary Mayorkas responded.
Refugee
Assistance Cost Taxpayers $20 Billion In Two Years. The federal Office of
Refugee Resettlement spent $20 billion over the last two years on "refugee and entrant
assistance" for those entering the country legally or illegally, according to a report from
OpenTheBooks.com. Services included legal assistance, medical screening, housing assistance,
cultural orientation, work authorization, public benefits application, school enrollment, mental
health services, cash support and Medicaid access. The spending represents an increase of
billions of dollars over previous years and includes potential conflicts of interest with the
agency's director.
Red
state dilemma: stand up to incoming progressive residents or flee? No one can dispute
how politically different Red states are from Blue states in our super-polarized country.
When a large group of ideologically motivated people (usually leftists) move into a state, county,
or neighborhood, things invariably change. The question for conservatives, who are usually
the ones whose nice communities are changed for the worse, is whether they should flee or
fight. The once-conservative People's Republic of Colorado perfectly proves how an
influx of leftists changes an area. Most recently, Colorado decided to remove Donald Trump
from the ballot. Last week, the Supreme Court carefully considered the pros and cons of
removing Trump from the ballot. It's likely they'll side with Trump. But this all could
have been avoided had Colorado's population centers not been populated by political fanatics who
feel that common sense and fairness should be replaced with pure partisanship.
There
[Have] Been Over 1.5 Million Migrant Encounters At The Border Since Mayorkas Last Said It Was
'Secure'. [Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro] Mayorkas faces impeachment in the
House of Representatives over his handling of the border "crisis," a word he will not use, as
illegal immigration continues to surge under the Biden administration. The U.S. Border Patrol
made 1,589,148 migrant encounters at the southern border since Mayorkas last said that the "border
is secure" during a House Homeland Security Committee hearing in April 2023, according to
Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) and data obtained by Fox News.
Book
review: Open Borders Inc.: Who's Funding America's Destruction? Six of the nine
voluntary agencies resettling "refugees" in America are religious in nature. In order of
annual revenue, they are:
  Catholic Charities/US Conference of Catholic Bishops: $742.6 million
  Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Services: $471.6 million
  Church World Services: $433.3 Million
  World Relief: $416.1 Million
  Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society: $186.1 million
  Episcopal Migration Ministries: $146.7 million
The work these agencies do is not charitable; they are paid for everyone they settle. There used
to be a program under which the agencies could settled refugees at their own expense, but it was
canceled in the mid-1990s for lack of use. Most "refugees" are chosen by the UN, which
acknowledges that few of them are in immediate danger. Little can be done to verify their
stories, and some get into the program by paying bribes to UN agents.
Two
US Members of Congress Denied Access to Secretive Federally-Funded "Migrant Facility" for Oversight
of Taxpayer Spending. Earlier this week, journalist James O'Keefe of O'Keefe Media
Group visited a Ramada Inn by Wyndham converted to a migrant housing facility that is reportedly
being run by the Casa Alitas program in Tucson, Arizona. According to O'Keefe, buses were
coming in with new migrants every 15 minutes, including during his "interrogation" by a Pima
County Sheriff Deputy. During the interaction, O'Keefe disclosed that he had an "undercover"
inside the facility. It was reported by O'Keefe that there was a makeshift room in the hotel
with over 150 cots set up.
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.
The
Biden administration is considering executive action to deter illegal migration at the southern
border. The Biden administration is considering taking executive action to deter
illegal migration across the southern border, according to two U.S. officials. As passing
legislation on border security in Congress appears unlikely, the plans under consideration signal
that the White House wants to take action before numbers at the border, which have dropped in the
past month, rise again as expected. The plans have been under consideration for months, the
officials said. In December, as Congress prepared to leave town for the holidays with no
border solution, illegal crossings of the southwest border hit records at more than 10,000 per day.
Dem
senator torched for calling illegal migrants the 'people we care about most:' 'Giving away' the
game. Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., was condemned by conservatives and immigration
experts after he stated that illegal immigrants are the people "we care about most." When MSNBC
host Chris Hayes asked Murphy on Wednesday about the failed border security bill, the Connecticut
senator said, rather than pushing for a path to citizenship in border legislation negotiations like
the party has in the past, Democrats were advocating for Ukraine funding. "Well, I mean,
Chris, that's been a failed play for 20 years. So you are right that that has been the
Democratic strategy for 30 years, maybe, and it has failed to deliver for the people we care
about most, the undocumented Americans that are in this country," Murphy said.
Biden
admin strikes 'secret' deal with Mexico while pushing border deal; sees 50% drop in traffic:
report. The Biden administration allegedly struck a secret border deal with Mexico to
help the president in the upcoming election as illegal immigration dropped by a whopping
50 percent in January. Most conservatives see the meeting between Biden's cabinet
members and Mexican officials resulting in a massive drop in illegal immigrants crossing the border
as anything but coincidental. "The number of migrants apprehended along the southwest border
with Mexico in January fell by more than 50 percent from the record-shattering report in
December. Following dropping approval ratings for President Joe Biden on the topic of
immigration and border security and a meeting between the Mexican president and two Biden
administration cabinet members, actions taken by the Mexican government led to a drop of more than
125,000 migrant apprehensions in January," Breitbart reported.
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...
Why is the word staunch only applied to conservatives?
DHS
Chief Mayorkas Praises Senate Bill for Preserving Biden's Parole Pipeline at Southern Border.
President Joe Biden's Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is praising a Senate
bill from Sens. James Lankford (R-OK), Chris Murphy (D-CT), and Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ) mostly for
preserving the administration's massive parole pipeline that has freed hundreds of thousands of border crossers
into American communities. Late Sunday evening, the senators released their highly-anticipated bill that
seeks to explode immigration to the United States even as Biden has welcomed a record number of foreign nationals
via the southern border.
Senate
Releases Establishment's Migration Bill. The Senate has released its long-awaited
"border" bill that reportedly increases the inflow of legalized immigrants into Americans'
communities, workplaces, and schools. Titled ''Emergency National Security Supplemental
Appropriations Act, 2024'," the 370-page bill was released at 6:40 p.m. on Sunday. It is
accompanied by a multi-billion dollar appropriations bill intended to fund the resources needed to
register, release, transport, and house migrants in Americans' coastal cities and inland
communities. The bill is being marketed as a "national security" bill as it seeks to overcome
opposition by Republican legislators whose election depends on the enthusiastic turnout of ordinary
populists who are worried about migration's lawlessness, pocketbook damage, crime, overcrowding,
and chaotic diversity.
Biden
and the Border. So the war over the border between Texas and the Biden Administration
is now in the "Sitzkrieg" stage. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has essentially declared
war on illegal immigration. He invoked Article I Section 10 of the United States
Constitution, which forbids states from declaring war except when "actually invaded" (or in such
imminent danger as to admit of no delay) and, by implication, allows them to declare war when that
happens. He also invoked the Guarantee Clause of Article IV, which requires the federal
government to protect the states against invasion. Abbott's legal argument is that since he's
being invaded, he's entitled to respond, and since the federal government is defaulting on its
obligations it has no business — it's basically estopped from —
complaining. There was a lot of huffing and puffing at the time, with members of Congress
calling on President Biden to federalize the Texas National Guard and the like, but basically,
nothing happened. The Supreme Court vacated an injunction forbidding the Border Patrol from
cutting the barbed wire that Texas had installed along the border, but — contrary to
many media reports — didn't rule that what Texas had done was illegal, or order Texas to
stop policing the border.
Culture
crash; thank the liberals. [Scroll down] Then there are the illegal
aliens. Lots of them. Tens of millions of them. The liberals who preside over the
cities virtuously signaled that these illegal aliens are welcome in their cities. To their
surprise, the illegal aliens took them seriously, and took their cities by storm. The
governor of Texas took them seriously too. When the illegal aliens grew from a trickle to a
flood across the Mexican border, to the point that small towns in Texas could not possibly manage
the numbers in a manner that was safe for either the aliens or the Texans, he shipped those who
were willing to those northern cities that had announced that they were welcome. For that, he
was of course called "racist." With all this virtue-signaling going on, Joe Biden naturally
wanted his share. He reversed the successful stay-in-Mexico policy that required prospective
immigrants seeking asylum to stay in Mexico or their home country while their requests were
processed — because that policy had been initiated by a man who was maniacal about
making America great again named Donald Trump. Biden also stopped construction of the border
wall and sold off the materials in stock awaiting use on the wall. Because MAGA-maniacal Trump.
Schumer
And McConnell Want Senators To Pass Their $106 Billion Border Bill Without Reading It.
Yesterday, a reporter standing outside the Senate chamber told me that after four months of secrecy, The
Firm™ plans to release the text of the $106 billion supplemental aid/border-security
package — possibly as soon as today. Wasting no time, she then asked, "If you get
the bill by tomorrow, will you be ready to vote on it by Tuesday?" [...] The reporter immediately
understood that my frustration was not directed at her. Rather, it was directed at the Law
Firm of Schumer & McConnell (The Firm™), which is perpetually trying to normalize a corrupt
approach to legislating, in which The Firm™:
[#1] Spends months drafting legislation in complete secrecy
[#2] Aggressively markets that legislation based not on its details and practical implications
(good and bad), but only on its broadest, least-controversial objectives
[#3] Lets members see bill text for the first time only a few days (sometimes a few hours)
before an arbitrary deadline imposed by The Firm™ itself, always with a contrived sense of urgency
[#4] Forces a vote on the legislation on or before that deadline, denying senators
any real opportunity to read, digest, and debate the measure on its merits, much less introduce, consider,
and vote on amendments to fix any perceived problems with the bill or otherwise improve it.
Whenever The Firm™ engages in this practice, it largely excludes nearly every senator from
the constitutionally prescribed process in which all senators are supposed to participate. By so
doing, The Firm™ effectively disenfranchises hundreds of millions of Americans — at least
for purposes relevant to the legislation at hand — and that's tragic. It's also
un-American, uncivil, uncollegial, and really uncool.
The
Democrats Create an Alice in the Looking Glass World. Millions of people —
mostly military-age men — from almost every country on the globe are being processed by
the Borden Patrol and released with orders to show up for hearings, many not set for several years
distant, during which time the Democrats will certainly seek an electoral advantage. Since
districting for voting and disbursement of federal funds is based on the number of residents,
regardless of their legal status, districts with lots of illegals will get a weighted
advantage. Most of the amnesty applications are groundless, but most likely the Democrats
will seek amnesty for these millions. President Trump had begun wall construction and set in
place policies to stop this. Within 100 days of taking office, Biden took 94 executive
actions which smoothed the way for the massive influx of illegal immigrants. Legalizing them
will effectively create a one-party state. Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, who is now facing
impeachment proceedings, worked to make deportation of these people nearly impossible.

What
the Border Crisis Looks Like on the Ground in Eagle Pass. The clothing strewn across
the riverbank gives away that Shelby Park on the Rio Grande was a major crossing point for illegal
aliens not long ago. But since Texas National Guard assumed control of the park, the
crossings have nearly stopped entirely, according to authorities. The Daily Signal visited
Shelby Park in Eagle Pass, Texas, Thursday and spoke with members of the National Guard. The
military officials said the illegal crossings have ground to a near halt since early January when
National Guard took over operations at the park, which sits on the border of Mexico. The
narrow and shallow water of the Rio Grande on the edge of Shelby Park makes the site an appealing
crossing point. Border Patrol used the wide-open space of the park as a holding location for
the illegal aliens after they crossed the river. [Tweet]
NYC
launches $53M program to hand out pre-paid credit cards to migrant families. Mayor
Eric Adams' administration will soon start handing out pre-paid credit cards to migrant families
being put up in Big Apple hotels, The [New York] Post has learned. The $53 million pilot
program, run by the New Jersey company Mobility Capital Finance, will provide asylum seekers
arriving at the Roosevelt Hotel with the city cash to help them buy food, according to city
records. It'll start with a group of 500 migrant families in short-term hotel stays and will
replace the current food service offered there, according to City Hall. The cards can only be
used at bodegas, grocery stores, supermarkets and convenience stores — and migrants must
sign an affidavit swearing they will only spend the funds on food and baby supplies or they will be
kicked out of the program.
64 Times
the Biden Administration Intentionally Undermined Border Security. Last week, in a
weak attempt to shift blame for a crisis their own policies created, the White House clumsily tried
claim that House Republicans had an "anti-border security record" by voting to "eliminate over
2,000 border patrol agents and erode our capacity to seize fentanyl." These claims were
demonstrably untrue, previously disproven, and underscored the Biden Administration's failure to
secure our southern border, marked by record high crossings in December and widespread national
recognition that the situation at our border is a crisis. "Since his first day in office,
President Biden and his administration have worked to systematically undermine America's border
security," Speaker Johnson said. "On more than 60 occasions, he has manipulated the federal
bureaucracy to open our borders to illegal immigrants, human trafficking, fentanyl, and potential
terrorists. The result is a humanitarian and national security catastrophe. The
President must use his executive authority to repair what he has broken. I am calling on him
to do so."
Is
America Already A Dead Country? The Democrat party's open southern border has allowed
millions of able-bodied, unvetted young men into the United States. Is a terrorist
attack coming? The porous border was the number one issue for New Hampshire primary
voters — and New Hampshire is quite a distance from the southern border. It was
also top of mind for Iowa's voters, another state far from Mexico. Let's assume
7 million unvetted illegal alien invaders have waltzed into our country since
January 2021. If just one-quarter of 1 percent have malicious intent to do us harm,
that would be 17,500 people, all of whom are scattered across the United States, with many
receiving free housing, free medical, free education, free driver's licenses, free iPhones and, in
some cases, free ballots. It is estimated that the United States government has so far spent
more than a whopping $450 billion on these illegal invaders. Think what ONE
person can do when they go on a murderous rampage at a school, shopping mall, or Las Vegas hotel,
and then multiply that by the possibility of thousands of terrorists waiting to cause injury,
death, and havoc from sea to shining sea.
From
Hamas to drunk drivers, is there anybody Democrats won't vote against deporting?
Other than German homeschoolers, is there any group of illegally present foreign nationals
Democrats won't vote to protect from deportation? Four immigration bills were presented in
Congress and all were no-brainers to pass, but Democrats voted 'no,' on all of them. Among
the millions of illegals in the U.S. there are the Social Security number thieves, identity thieves
who steal others' Social Security benefits. What did Democrats do in Congress when a deportation
bill came up on Thursday? But of course. They voted against deporting them.
[Tweet] In the same bill, they voted to keep illegals convicted of drunk driving exempt from
deportation, too.
Secret
Room Under Atlanta Airport Seems To Be Housing Illegal Immigrants, Guarded By US
Servicemen. [V]ideo exclusively obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation appears
to show a U.S. service member guarding a room chock-full of illegal immigrants at Atlanta's
Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport. Republican state Sen. Colton Moore, who is the
vice chairman of the Georgia Freedom Caucus, took the video Tuesday night and told the DCNF that he
learned of the hidden room full of migrants through a "whistleblower" at Atlanta's airport, who
noticed an influx of illegal migrants coming through the facility in recent months. In the
video, there appears to be a uniformed soldier guarding a room full of migrants and volunteers with
a group called Team Libertad, which boasts of helping migrants travel on its social media
accounts. [Video clip]
Impeach
the bum! You can tell what a good idea it is to impeach Homeland Secretary Alejandro
Mayorkas, just by all the screeching leftists who oppose the idea. MSNBC and their brethren
have devoted endless hours to proclaiming there is no evidence on which to base his removal.
Except, of course, for the millions of illegals and tons of fentanyl welcomed through our borders
without objection. What we have is a grotesque dereliction of duty by the secretary (who for
some odd reason is the spitting image of the Japanese anime character Krillin) and under the terms
of Article I he can be impeached and removed for "high crimes and misdemeanors." [...] The House
impeachment articles state ad nauseum Mayorkas' constant refusal to do his job or follow dozens of
laws he is obliged to enforce. To a certain extent, officers of the executive department have
flexibility in carrying out their duties, but they cannot simply refuse to do them at all.
Any more than officials of the Treasury department could ignore random visitors entering their
premises and walking off with bags of money.
State
Senator Discovers Migrants in 'Hidden Room' Inside Atlanta Airport, Gets Forced Out When Trying to
Record. A Republican Georgia state senator caused a fuss at Atlanta's airport Tuesday
night as he sought to document illegal immigrants passing through the facility. State
Sen. Colton Moore, vice chairman of the Georgia Freedom Caucus, said he went to Atlanta's
Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport after getting a tip from a whistleblower about the
presence of illegal immigrants at the airport, according to the Daily Caller. What he found
was a room filled with illegal immigrants with what appeared to be a U.S. soldier guarding them.
Brilliant analysis!
NY
Times: Migrants Keep Coming Because They Know They Can Stay. I find myself a
bit surprised to see some of what follows in print, not because any of it is new but instead
because things that have been obvious for a long time are now being published as true by the NY
Times. The piece, which is labeled analysis, opens by noting that people are streaming
across the border and turning themselves in to authorities to claim asylum for one clear reason.
[...] What is happening here is a gaming of the system. Migrants either don't know or don't
care that they aren't eligible for asylum. What they know is that by claiming it, they can
stay. [...] Under current law, anyone whose asylum case isn't wrapped up in 5 months gets a
work permit. These days that means almost everyone gets a work permit. And because of
the massive backlog of cases, the current time to clear one is many years. By the time the
applicant's claim is rejected, ICE more or less doesn't care. Unless someone has been
convicted of a felony they can just stay in the US which was their goal all along anyway.
HHS
Committee Votes to Impeach Secretary Mayorkas As Democrats Blame Republicans for the Border
Catastrophe. The House Homeland Security Committee voted to impeach Department of
Homeland Security Mayorkas after a marathon 13-hour hearing. The vote was along party lines,
18 [to] 15. A full house vote will likely take place next week. This is a rare
event. No cabinet member has been impeached in over 150 years. Yet, that is how bad
the Biden border catastrophe has gotten. Democrats on the committee tried to flip the script and
blame Republicans for what is happening on the southern border. Chairman Green blamed Mayorkas
for failing to comply with immigration laws already on the books.
The
Death of Citizenship. From 1860 to 2000, in the largest legal migration in human
history, over 61 million immigrants arrived in the United States. They were not only
escaping poverty and oppression, but they were eager to assimilate and attain the most sought-after
national status in the world — American citizenship. Today in the 21st century,
American citizenship and its one-of-a-kind written contract with the government, the Constitution
and Bill of Rights, is teetering on the edge of meaninglessness brought about by the relentless
onslaught of the nation's ruling class and their American Marxist allies. [...] One of the basic
birthrights of American citizenship, faith in fair and free elections, has been seriously
imperiled. The nation's borders are being deliberately dismantled. The enumerated
rights of Americans are being relentlessly eroded. And one of the primary foundational
underpinnings of America, assimilation and belief in the uniqueness of the nation, is being rapidly
and ruthlessly undermined. [...] No nation can maintain its status as a nation without secure and
identifiable borders. Citizenship means nothing if untold millions of illegal immigrants
openly defy the laws without consequence.
Biden,
the border, and Texas: federal troops next? In 1957, defiant Arkansas Governor Orval
Faubus ignored Supreme Court orders to integrate Little Rock's Central High School. To
enforce the Court's historic decision, President Dwight Eisenhower federalized the Arkansas
National Guard and sent in the 101st Airborne. In 1963, President John F. Kennedy federalized
and took control of the Alabama National Guard after Governor George Wallace used guardsmen to
block court-ordered integration of the University of Alabama. The root of today's contest
between Texas and the Oval Office differs from the Arkansas and Alabama episodes. In 1957 and
1963, governors defied federal authorities attempting to uphold the law. Today, the
roles are reversed: a governor, Texas's Greg Abbott, finds himself forced to perform what is
largely a federal responsibility — border security — because Washington, D.C.
categorically refuses to perform its constitutional duty. Ground Zero for Abbott's effort is
Eagle Pass, Texas, where the Texas National Guard and the Texas Department of Public Safety have
barred illegal entry by border violators over federal objections.
Biden
Doesn't Have Any Legal Authority to Seize Control of Texas National Guard. Texas
Democratic politicians, such as Rep. Joaquin Castro and failed gubernatorial and Senate
candidate Beto O'Rourke, are urging President Joe Biden to seize control of the Texas National
Guard, which Republican Gov. Greg Abbott has mobilized to help secure the Texas border.
Abbott did so in the face of the deliberate and intentional inaction by the Biden administration to
make sure the border stays open so millions of illegal aliens could continue to flood across from
Mexico. Under the circumstances, any such move by the president would be an abuse of the
applicable law. A number of federal statutes govern the National Guard, which is the modern
equivalent of state militias and a reserve component of our military. Under 10 U.S.C.
§ 12301(a), the secretary of defense (and thus the president) is given the authority in
"time of war or of national emergency declared by Congress, or when otherwise authorized by law" to
order National Guard units to active duty. But they cannot be called to active duty by the
president "without the consent of the governor of the State." If the governor consents, the unit
called into federal service under Title 10 reports to the president as the commander in chief while
in federal service. State governors, however, like Abbott, remain the commanders in chief of
their state National Guard units, such as the Texas National Guard, unless they have consented to
the president's call for those units to be in active federal service.
Lankford
Plan Helps Biden Migration, Hinders Trump Crackdown. Sen. James Lankford's
(R-OK) border proposal helps President Joe Biden import more migrants — and hinders
President Donald Trump from reducing the inflow, says Rosemary Jenks, at the Immigration
Accountability Project. The key problem is the so-called "trigger" authorization that
automatically curbs immigration once 8,500 illegals arrive at the border in one day, or
5,000 people arrive for seven days in a row, Jenks told Breitbart News. [...] Yet advocates,
including Lankford and Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) — who strongly supports more labor
migration — describe the trigger as a key feature of the proposal.
Oklahoma
Republican Party Ends 'All Support' for Sen. James Lankford over Senate Deal to Expand
Immigration. The Oklahoma Republican Party is ceasing "all support" for
Sen. James Lankford (R-OK) as he leads negotiations with other Republicans and Democrats for a
Senate deal that would expand illegal and legal immigration to the United States. As
Breitbart News has detailed, Lankford is negotiating the deal alongside other Republicans such as
Thom Tillis (R-NC) and John Thune (R-SD) with Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) and others.
Denationizing
the United States. The Rio Grande border conflict is not an isolated incident.
It is part of the World Economic Forum program of "denationization" of the United States. [...] The
modern leftists are fighting so fiercely for the "rights of immigrants," not because the fate of
illegal aliens worries them in any way. It is because globalists anticipate illegal
immigrants as the main "engine of the revolution," which must bring about socialist transformations
and catapult the globalists to power. Consequently, the greater the number of "engines" in a
country, the happier the elite of the globalist party will be. So, naturally, they call
(irrationally and contrary to common sense) for opening the United States borders, dissolving the
Border Patrol, and granting the right to vote to non-citizens. In essence, the World Economic
Forum coterie runs the program of denationization of the United States. The position of
globalists on this issue is ultra-uncompromising because, for them, illegal immigration is not a
legal issue but a political and close to existential one.
The
Tyranny of Federalizing Troops to Undermine America's National Sovereignty.
[Scroll down] I find it quite telling that Biden would seek to federalize the Texas
National Guard to enable the continued flow of single military-aged males, illegally, into our
Republic but not have them conduct operations to regain operational control of our border from the
transnational narco-criminal terrorists, the cartels. Or why is it that Biden has remained
silent about pro-Hamas terrorist groups holding violent marches in our nation? After all,
Hamas is still holding Americans hostage and killed Americans on October 7, 2023. One can
only deduce that the Biden administration is taking the next step in their willful, intentional,
and purposeful undermining of our national sovereignty. They are going to use the military to
enable the flow of drug, human, and sex trafficking. I do not think our military is willing
to aid and abet human and sex trafficking. Texas will not comply.
Joe
Biden's legal win against Texas has one problem: The Border Patrol doesn't seem to want to
cooperate. [Scroll down] I thought Joe Biden wanted to assert his federal
authority by stepping in to show Texas who was boss by cutting the razor wire, and then either
federalizing the Texas National Guard or else start arresting them. We could go full
third-world on this, with one domestic army fighting another. And photos of the Border Patrol
cutting the razor wire to let another million or so illegals in would make such great campaign
photos (for President Trump). What was holding Joe back? According to the Daily Wire, it
might just be the Border Patrol itself, which has declared its support for Texas, joining
25 states which have also declared support for Texas's assertion of its right to protect its
border from foreigners breaking in.
Is This
What Biden Meant By 'Unity'? During President Biden's inaugural address, he used the
word "unity" at least a dozen times. He told us, "Today, on this January day, my whole soul
is in this: Bringing America together. Uniting our people." Three years later, his
irresponsible policies and incendiary rhetoric have rendered the nation more divided than at any
time in recent memory. Nowhere is this more evident than at the southern border where Biden
has created a humanitarian crisis by ignoring federal immigration law and suing the state of Texas
for exercising its constitutional right to defend itself from what its governor accurately
describes as a foreign invasion. As Gov. Greg Abbott said in a Jan. 24 statement,
"I have already declared an invasion under Article I, § 10, Clause 3 to invoke
Texas's constitutional authority to defend and protect itself. That authority is the supreme
law of the land and supersedes any federal statutes to the contrary." The Biden administration
disputes Gov. Abbott's contention that the hordes of illegal aliens pouring into the Lone Star
state amounts to an invasion. The voters, however, agree with Gov. Abbott.
Senator
Lankford Explains How Current Law Would Stop Border Crisis and New Law Will Stop Border
Crisis. In his own words, Senator James Lankford says if President Trump was
president today the border crisis would not exist, because the existing law would be
enforced. Simultaneous to this, the same Senator Lankford says the new law he proposes will
create significant border enforcement. If the executive branch can ignore the current border
enforcement law (they can and do), what makes Lankford believe new legislation will not be ignored
by the same executive branch (they will)? This non-pretending reality frames the essential point:
the element of "enforcement" is not within the legislative branch, so the entire effort is a moot
exercise. [Video clip]
Biden,
the Border, and Tik Tok Too. Last month alone over 300,000 mostly military age men
illegally crossed our border, with the Border Patrol tasked to easing their invasion and even
making them sandwiches rather than detaining and deporting them. [...] Polls show that the majority
of citizens are strongly opposed to this invasion. Former FBI officials have warned that this
influx of unvetted invaders from around the world who have been allowed to travel freely around the
country pose a serious national security threat. Still, the President, who blocked further
construction of the wall Trump was constructing and ended the Trump policy of making asylum seekers
stay in Mexico as their claims were processed, doubled down on allowing unlimited free passage into
the United Sates. He demanded that [Texas governor Greg] Abbott tear down the border
barriers. A federal court enjoined the Administration from removing the barriers to free
passage into the country. (Most of these asylum claims lack merit, but it takes years to

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:
[#1] Were the President to activate the Texas National Guard under Title 10,
what would their orders be? To assist federal officers in throwing open the gates?
[#2] What happens if members of the Texas National Guard refuse activation
and instead continue to follow the orders of TX-ANG officers and Governor Abbott?
[#3] What if the Texas Guard splits, and former comrades end up facing each other across that red line?
[#4] If the Pentagon sends federal troops, how willing are they going to be to confront other
Americans to allow the continued invasion of the country?
[#5] Is there any possibility that there may be open conflict between Texas and federal officials?
I'm no wild-eyed conspiracy theorist, but this is the kind of thing that civil wars start over.
Agents
'Absolutely' Don't Want To Cut Greg Abbott's Razor Wire, Border Patrol Union President
Says. Border Patrol agents don't want to cut Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's
border wire after the Supreme Court ordered that the federal government can take it down, National
Border Patrol Council President Brandon Judd told the Daily Caller News Foundation. The
Supreme Court ruled Monday that federal authorities can take down wire that Texas erected along the
southern border, but the state is putting up more wire in Eagle Pass, Texas, at Shelby Park, which
it took control of earlier this month. Border Patrol agents largely support Texas' efforts,
several rank-and-file agents recently told the DCNF.
Abbott:
Texas Has Constitutional Right To Defend Its Borders From Invasion, Supersedes All Federal
Law. Texas Governor Greg Abbott issued a defiant statement on Wednesday pushing back
against President Joe Biden's attempts to stop Texas from securing its borders against the millions
of illegal aliens pouring into the state thanks to Biden's reckless border policies. Abbott's
statement comes after the U.S. Supreme Court sided with the Biden administration earlier this week,
ruling that it could remove or cut through razor wire the state has deployed to stop illegal aliens
from crossing the Rio Grande into the state. "President Biden has violated his oath to
faithfully execute immigration laws enacted by Congress," Abbott said. "Instead of prosecuting
immigrants for the federal crime of illegal entry, President Biden has sent his lawyers into
federal courts to sue Texas for taking action to secure the border." "President Biden has
instructed his agencies to ignore federal statutes that mandate the detention of illegal
immigrants. The effect is to illegally allow their en masse parole into the United States,"
he continued, adding: "By wasting taxpayer dollars to tear open Texas's border security
infrastructure, President Biden has enticed illegal immigrants away from the 28 legal entry points
along this State's southern border — bridges where nobody drowns — and into
the dangerous waters of the Rio Grande."
Can
America survive its traitors? This week's decision by the U.S. Supreme Court to allow
the federal government to remove razor-wire barriers set up by the State of Texas to discourage
illegal border crossings was a slap in the face to every law-abiding American citizen. An
estimated 5 million foreign nationals, the vast majority of them males between the ages of 18
and 40, have illegally crossed into the U.S. since Biden took office. And this doesn't
include the "gotaways," which are those who cross over under the radar of Border Patrol rather than
giving themselves up and claiming "asylum." This is an invasion of military-aged men, who by
all accounts appear well-fed and well-clothed. We should assume most of them are here for no
good reason. If you think about the ramifications of this decision — all of the
death and destruction that will take place in Texas and beyond as a result — it's not
difficult to conclude that it's more than just your typical bad legal decision. No, this was
a criminal decision. And it was made possible by a Trump-appointed justice, Amy Coney
Barrett, who along with Chief Justice John Roberts voted with the Marxist wing of the court.
NYC
inks $77M emergency hotels contract to shelter migrant families. Mayor Eric Adams'
administration has inked a new emergency $76.69 million contract with the Hotel Association of
New York City to provide "last resort" shelter to migrant families[.] Fifteen hotels in
Brooklyn, Queens and The Bronx will make blocks of rooms available to asylum-seeking families for
up to 28 days under the "vouchering program" running through July. "We're not going to
allow a child or family to sleep on the street," Adams said during a press briefing Tuesday.
The migrant crisis has been a boon to the hotel industry still emerging from loss of business
during the coronavirus pandemic. The [New York] Post reported in September that the city
extended contracts with the hotel association for three years at a staggering price tag of
$1.3 billion — nearly five times the original $275 million deal —
just to pay rental fees to more than 100 hotels that were converted into emergency shelters.
The Editor says...
Families? Really? How many of the new arrivals are unaccompanied military-age men?
Dear
Treasonous Traitors: [Bleep!] Strong Message Follows. Since SCOTUS has ruled — beyond
and against any legal reasoning worthy of the name — that the U.S. Constitution does not apply to
Texas, Texas should ratify that decision and return the favor, in spades. There should be
consequences to ruling a state is outside the protection of the Constitution under which
it joined the republic. All representatives of Texas outside its geographic boundaries should
be recalled to the state forthwith. [#1] How many divisions does SCOTUS have?
[#2] Texas should arrest on the spot any federal agent attempting to cut, remove, or displace any
obstacle Texas has erected within the state's boundaries, or otherwise thwart prevention by Texas of the
criminal invasion of their state, and hold any such arrestees without bail indefinitely, for
insurrection and treason.
CBO:
Biden Admin Has Released 6.2 Million Illegal Migrants into U.S. in 3 Years, Often Through
'Parole' Loophole. President Joe Biden's deputies have let 6.2 million illegal
migrants into the United States, according to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO). Biden's
southern inflow is more than one migrant for every two American births since January 2021.
"More of those people are also being released into the United States than previously, generally
through the use of parole authority or with a notice to appear before an immigration judge," said
the report, titled "The Demographic Outlook: 2014 to 2054." The 2023 inflow included 900,000
migrants who were released after they walked up to official border gates plus 1.1 million
migrants who were released after they crossed through gaps in the border wall, said the CBO agency,
which acts as an advisor to Capitol Hill legislators.
Three
Former Presidents Start NGO to Import Illegal Aliens into the U.S.. Three of the five
former Presidents of the United States have started a new non-governmental organization (NGO) with
the explicit purpose of chartering flights to import illegal aliens into the United States.
As reported by Just The News, the NGO Miles4Migrants, founded by former Presidents Barack
Obama, George W. Bush, and Bill Clinton, is teaming up with two other organizations, American
Express Global Business Travel and Welcome.US, to expand upon a previous effort that focused solely
on Afghan refugees following the disastrous withdrawal of American forces from Afghanistan in 2021.
Welcome.US was originally launched for the purpose of bringing in at least 85,000 Afghan refugees, and
also has ties to the far-left billionaire George Soros and his Open Society Foundation. The new
coalition between Welcome.US, Miles4Migrants, and American Express Global Business Travel will seek to
raise money to import illegals from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, Venezuela, and Ukraine.
Biden
And Abbott Have Set The Stage For One Of The Biggest State-Versus-Feds Immigration Fights In More
Than A Decade. The feud between the Biden administration and the state of Texas over
the southern border has set the stage for one of the biggest immigration fights between the federal
government and a state government in more than a decade. Republican Texas Gov. Greg
Abbott recently had his authorities seize city property along the southern border, arresting
migrants crossing illegally for trespassing, which the federal government has vocally opposed.
The Biden administration subsequently asked the Supreme Court to intervene, arguing that Texas is
overstepping its authority, sparking a legal battle the high court hasn't seen since 2012.
The
Frustrating Irony of Legal Immigration. As many as 10 million people have been
reported illegally entering the U.S. since President Joe Biden took office in January 2021,
with nearly 1.6 million known "gotaways" and hundreds of thousands of inadmissible aliens now
granted parole into the country every month. In fiscal 2023 alone, there were more than
3.2 million illegal border crossings nationwide, a total that approximates the annual number
of U.S. births. December alone saw more than 300,000 migrant border "encounters —
an average of 10,000 per day, the highest monthly total ever recorded. Most enter believing
U.S. borders are "open" and remain with scant fear of deportation. We're told that those
entering illegally are "vetted" before being released into communities. But they are, in
fact, released after minimal "processing." This means taking photos and fingerprints, entering
unverifiable names and birth dates, running this data through U.S. law enforcement and immigration
databases, and creating an immigration file if none exists.
It's the only kind of pipeline the Democrats like:
Illegal
Alien Pipeline Revealed in New Documentary. In 2023, nearly a quarter million illegal
aliens entered the United States every month. Nearly all of these illegals followed the same
mass migration trail that starts in Quito, Ecuador, and ends at the US Southern Border....So we
decided to follow the trail ourselves. Along the way, we discovered secret Chinese staging
hotels, crossed through the world's deadliest jungle, embedded with an illegal alien caravan, rode
the Mexican Train of Death, and finally, were kidnapped by the Gulf Cartel just hundreds of feet
from the United States border. This exposes the entire illegal alien pipeline for what it is:
a United Nations-weaponized migration agenda masquerading as an organic humanitarian crisis.
This agenda directly benefits cartels and human smugglers, exposes the United States to incredible
geo-political threats and may potentially usher in permanent one-party rule. The first stop
along the route is Ecuador. US-bound illegal aliens from all over the world first fly into
the capital city, Quito, due to the country's easy entry requirements. From here, aliens
begin making their way towards Colombia.
Biden
holds America hostage. In Texas, Biden and his goons want Governor Greg Abbott to
quit protecting the state's border with Mexico. NBC reported, "Texas is refusing to comply
with a cease-and-desist letter from the Biden administration over actions by the state that have
impeded U.S. Border Patrol agents from accessing part of the border with Mexico." Under
Biden, Border Patrol agents are little more than Walmart greeters. The story continued, "In a
letter to the Department of Homeland Security, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton rejected the Biden
administration's request for the state to cease and desist its takeover of Shelby Park, an
epicenter of southwest border illegal immigration in Eagle Pass." Paxton wrote, "Because the
facts and law side with Texas, the State will continue utilizing its constitutional authority to
defend her territory, and I will continue defending those lawful efforts in court." Obama
previously succeeded in getting the John Roberts Supreme Court to stop Arizona from enforcing
federal law to protect its border. Texas is using state law.

'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:
• our Marxist-driven education system?
• our federal government handing out billions and trillions of [dollars] to
a U.S. puppet president (put into office by a coup staged by the Deep State) of a country, to fight
a proxy war for the Deep State and Global Elite?
• the World Health Organization (WHO), an organ of the United Nations (UN),
is being used to take control over all people in all countries in the world (not all have signed on,
but the few that haven't are small and considered insignificant in the whole scheme of things)?
• the drive to "Sustainable Development", another scheme to wrest both our
individual and national sovereignty?
• Bill Gates, Black Rock, China, and others are buying up our farm and
ranch lands, our single-family homes, and businesses — which take us closer to owning nothing
but our thoughts, in other words, making us slaves,
• Our federal, democratic republic government has been torn apart and reassembled
to be a uni-party, top-down, supposedly democratic socialist tyranny?
No! The greatest threat is
unbridled illegal immigration.
Who Are We?
That was not a question even a few years ago, everyone would have said: Americans. Some
might have broken it further down into regions or states, but generally Americans. Now, that
answer might be Venezuelans, Senegalese or Iranian, because a greater and greater portion of our
population are people who have no interest in America other than as a source of plunder or an enemy
to invade. But there is a core of Americans, some of whom are confused, who think they are
United States citizens. While that is technically true, the government who seems to have no
fidelity to the United States Constitution, there is no United States and therefore, one cannot be
a citizen of something that does not exist.
Massachusetts
Officials Pleading with Private Homeowners to Take in Illegal Aliens. The state of
Massachusetts is 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...
If you submit to this pressure, be aware that your "guests" will never leave. If the
freeloaders eventually do leave, they will spread the word that there is a "vacancy" at your
house. Open your eyes and observe these facts: Changes made by socialists only go in one
direction. Government programs don't come and go; they come and stay. There are no
temporary welfare programs. Housing is not a right. Illegal immigrants are here
illegally and voluntarily.

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.

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.

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

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.

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...
In other words, she doesn't care what the flood of illegal immigrants costs this country;
she only cares about how it can benefit her political career.
AOC's
Solution to the Border Crisis May Be the Dumbest Thing I've Ever Heard. While
appearing on "The Daily Show," a journalistic bastion if there ever was one, Ocasio-Cortez decided
to let it be known that the real way to "fix" the border is to "document people."
[Tweet] [Tweet with video clip] According to the esteemed congresswoman, the issue
of millions of people flooding over the border illegally can be easily solved by simply handing out
documented status. Isn't that what we are already doing, though? Joe Biden's
catch-and-release policy allows illegal immigrants to enter the interior of the country. Some
outlets have even reported that work authorizations are being given out. Regardless of the
specifics, Ocasio-Cortez's suggestion still makes no sense. It's like saying you are going to
fix your toilet by burning down your house. I mean, I guess your toilet ceases to be a
problem at that point, but now you've got no house. If you start giving legal work
authorization to every illegal immigrant who crosses the border, then you are ceding the idea of
having a border at all, which is exactly what Democrats want.
No
Border — Say Goodbye to America. Nobel prize-winning economist Milton
Friedman scolded the Wall Street Journal for cheerleading an open-border immigration policy.
"It's just obvious you can't have free immigration and a welfare state," he warned. This
leads to a "transfer state," as the Heritage Foundation describes, the government taxing the upper
and middle classes, transferring money to lower economic classes via subsidies and benefits.
In other words, "The transfer state redistributes funds from those with high-skill and high-income
levels to those with lower skill levels." Heritage makes the assumption, "It takes the entire
net tax payments (taxes paid minus benefits received) of one college-educated family to pay for the
net benefits received by one low-skill immigrant family." What happens when that ratio changes
to one financially sound family supporting not one, but two, three, or more families through
ever-increasing taxes and families to support?
Thousands
Of Africans Flying To Central America Before Crossing Illegally Into United States.
Thousands of Africans are flying to Central America in order to travel into the United States
illegally by crossing the southern border. A record number of illegal immigrants have entered
America in the last year under President Joe Biden, according to a report from The New York
Times. The Times reported on Friday that there were 58,462 Africans apprehended at the
southern border in fiscal year 2023 — up from 13,406 in 2022, according to government
data. The 2023 numbers include 15,263 from Mauritania, 13,526 from Senegal, and over 4,000
from Angola and Guinea. These Africans are flying into Central America, many starting in
Nicaragua, and then making their way up into America by crossing through Mexico. The influx
of Africans is reportedly in part due to some countries in Europe implementing tighter border
controls. It is unclear how exactly all of these migrants are paying for their flights across
the Atlantic, as many of them are looking to escape poverty. Some claim they borrow money
from friends while others say they sold small businesses. Once they make it to the southern
border, many of the illegal migrants are simply released into the United States.
African
Migrants: 'Getting into the United States is certain'. Migrants from Mexico have been
crossing the southern border in large numbers for decades. More recently migrants from
Central America and South America have decided now is the time to make the long, dangerous journey
to the US. But it's a testament to just how completely Joe Biden has bungled the border crisis that
word is now being spread even in Africa: The US border is open. [...] ["]According to
government data obtained by The [New York] Times, the number of Africans apprehended at the
southern border jumped to 58,462 in the fiscal year 2023 from 13,406 in 2022.["] Just to
put that number in perspective, it was only a few years ago that 58,462 was more migrants than the
Border Patrol encountered in most months. Between FY 2014 and FY 2018 there were only a
handful of individual months where the number of encounters topped 58,000 and even then not by
much. For any of those years, 58,000 would have been about 10-12% of our total annual number
of border encounters.
Money
Flows Through D.C. Like Sewage. There are a lot of reasons to argue against the
massive influx of illegals the past few years. First and foremost, it is a violation of our
sovereignty and national security. That ought to stop it dead in its tracks. The fact
that these people are entering without any form of background checks, any traditional requirements
of vaccinations (the real ones, if there are any these days) no designations as to whether they are
entering for the third or fourth time to multiply the benefits they receive. The border
patrols are so busy waving them in, making sure they get signed up for all of the social services
that most citizens aren't able to apply for, get their pre-loaded cash cards, get their cell
phones, plane tickets and housing arrangements, the sort of things a veteran would be astonished to
receive for their sacrifice for the nation, that the border patrol agents don't have time to stop
the drug and human trafficking along the unguarded borders. Not that they would anyway,
because of their pensions and their total freaking fear of their supervisors, all of whom are
cowards and traitors.
It's obviously a Uniparty conspiracy:
Turning
America Upside-Down. Behold: It's the leprechaun-logistics theory of magic
migration that tells us hordes of clean, fed, and comfortably shod invading migrants miraculously
and spontaneously appear at the America end of their personal rainbows, where they demand pots of
U.S. taxpayer gold. But with no backpacks to carry water, energy snacks, or even spare socks
for their journey? [Indeed], our children don't go off to neighborhood elementary schools
without backpacks full of supplies. So how is it these folks walk the 1,300-mile
south-to-north expanse of Mexico, not to mention trekking from Central and South America, without
backpacks? Watching thousands of illegals daily pour across America's southern border forces
recognition that this mass invasion didn't just pop out of the woodwork or happen
organically. The magnitude and duration of this invasion demands answers to four core
questions: 1) Who organizes these people? 2) Who provides water, food, and critical
support for these hundreds of thousands of people? 3) Who arranges and distributes the
go-to-this-enabler contact lists these invaders are given and then carry with them so they
know with whom to connect when they step off free-pass buses and gratuitously ticketed airplanes?
And 4) Who recruits, coordinates, and supports the many enablers named on these contact lists [...]
Biden
Sues Texas Over State Law to Stop Illegal-alien Invasion. The Biden administration
sued Texas yesterday because Governor Greg Abbott and state legislators decided the Lone Star State
must do the job Biden won't do. The lawsuit seeks to stop Texas from enforcing SB4, a law
that criminalizes entering Texas illegally across the southwest border and also allows state
officials to deport illegal aliens. The administration claims that enforcing immigration law
is the sole purview of the federal government. As well this week, the administration sought
permission from the U.S. Supreme Court to remove razor wire that Texas authorities installed to
stop the illegal-alien invasion that Biden is aiding and abetting. [Tweet]
DOJ
Sues Texas To Prevent State From Arresting Migrants Who Enter Illegally. The Biden
administration is suing Texas to prevent the state from arresting migrants who flout U.S.
immigration law to enter the state illegally, the Department of Justice (DOJ) announced
Wednesday. The DOJ is making good on its threat to sue Texas over enforcing S.B. 4, a new law
signed in December 2023 that would permit local and state authorities to arrest and prosecute
individuals suspected of entering the U.S. illegally, according to the DOJ and NBC 5 Dallas-Fort
Worth. Texas Illegal immigration has surged to record levels under the Biden administration,
with Texas seeing a massive influx of migrants arriving at its border with Mexico. "The
Constitution assigns the federal government the authority to regulate immigration and manage our
international borders. Pursuant to this authority, Congress has established a comprehensive
framework governing the entry of noncitizens into the United States and the removal of noncitizens
from the country," the DOJ stated in a press release announcing the lawsuit. "Because SB 4 is
preempted by federal law and violates the U.S. Constitution, the Justice Department seeks a
declaration that SB 4 is invalid and an order preliminarily and permanently enjoining the state
from enforcing the law."
The
Democrat party: who are they? Just who are the members of the Democrat/socialist/communist
(D/s/c) Party? How do their beliefs differ from those of normal Americans? [...] Among their favored
oppressed are criminals — the more violent and depraved the better — and their policies
have turned our blue cities into third world war zones. Other oppressed are the millions of illegal
aliens they're importing. Non-D/s/c Americans have so disappointed them. They intend to abolish
them and import their replacements. That many of them are criminals, terrorists, pedophiles, slavers
and masses who can't speak the language and have no skills with which to support themselves is a feature
rather than a bug. They're worried about the illegal avalanche, but not because of the damage it's
doing to America. They're afraid of losing power, afraid, despite their best Trump Derangement
Syndrome efforts, their election fraud protocols might not prevail.
Why
The Sudden Media Interest In The Biden Border Crisis? After spending three years
largely ignoring the border, the mainstream press is suddenly all over it, with headlines blaring
about a "surge," "crisis" and "call for action." Why now? Last week CNN reported that a
"December migrant surge" at the southern border was the "largest in more than two decades." Several
other news outlets used similar language. The New York Times warned that "surging" Mexico
border crossings "push U.S. resources to the brink." In another story, CNN even described the
situation as a "crisis." Weirdly, the press is even exaggerating the current "surge."
Consider that CNN story, which says: "Border authorities encountered more than 225,000
migrants along the U.S.-Mexico border this month, marking the highest monthly total recorded since
2000, according to preliminary Homeland Security statistics shared with CNN." Except that's not
true. According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection data, illegal crossings exceeded
225,000 in August, September, October, and November of this year, and in six previous months since
President Joe Biden took office. As a matter of fact, illegal crossings have averaged
more than 200,000 since Biden moved into the White House.
Gov.
Greg Abbott shipped over 85,000 illegal migrants from Texas in over one year. In less
than a year-and-a-half, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has transported 85,400 illegal migrants to
so-called sanctuary cities run by Democrats who don't want to adhere to federal immigration
enforcement. New York City has borne the brunt of Texas offloading the crisis to Democratic
enclaves, with Abbott sending 32,200 to the Big Apple starting in August 2022, according to
his office. Chicago has seen the second amount of migrants sent from Texas with 24,500
migrants arriving over the last year and four months. While highly unpopular, specifically
among Democrats, Abbott's strategy of sending migrants to sanctuary cities is helping flip the
narrative and get more attention on the crisis.
More
than 302,000 illegal migrants crossed into the US in December. A record number of
migrants crossed the U.S. southern border in December, according to a new report, topping the
highest amount ever recorded as President Joe Biden continues to grapple with the crisis.
There were 300,000 encounters in the last month of 2023, U.S. Custom and Border Patrol sources told
Fox News. Between Dec. 1 and December 31, more than 302,000 migrants were documented
attempting to cross the U.S. southern border. It is the highest total for a single month ever
recorded in history and it marks the first time migrant encounters have reached over 300,000.

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

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

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

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

of moving on to another city, there are now people "stranded in our community with no money and no
idea of where they're going."
Tucker
Carlson: Biden is Importing Millions of Third-World Illegals While Telling Them White People

third-world immigrants to live here illegally, and at the same time telling them that white people
are the source of their problems. How's that going to work out in the end?" Tucker Carlson
said. More than 10 million illegal aliens — mainly military-age men from
Africa, Middle East and Latin America have invaded the US since Joe Biden was installed in
January 2021. The illegal aliens are being told by the Democrat-media complex that white
people — specifically white men — are the world's problems.
Mexican
Cops Step Aside as New Migrant 'Poverty' Caravan Moves North. Mexican authorities
stood down any efforts to contain a new migrant caravan that embarked this week from the southern
part of Mexico. Authorities are currently escorting the groups and providing crowd
control. Calling themselves the Poverty Exodus (Exodo de la Pobreza), the caravan, which is
made up of more than 6,000 migrants, left the city of Tapachula, Chiapas, on Christmas Eve.
The caravan is making its way north. In various parts of the journey, the migrants waved a
banner with the caravan's name and carried a white cross. Members of the group made public
claims that their goal was to reach the United States for economic reasons.
The Editor says...
One could easily surmise that the immigrants' only accomplishment will be to spread poverty to another
country — the U.S. — because if these were productive workers, they probably
could have made a living in their native countries.
Mayor
Eric Adams: Illegal Immigration Spurring 'Erosion of Quality of Life' in New York
City. The arrival of more than 160,000 border crossers and illegal aliens is spurring
"the erosion of the quality of life" for New Yorkers, Mayor Eric Adams (D) says. During a
press conference alongside Chicago, Illinois, Mayor Brandon Johnson (D) and Denver, Colorado,
Mayor Mike Johnston (D), Adams warned again that New York City is falling into disarray as a result
of illegal immigration. Every day, President Joe Biden's administration releases about 5,000
border crossers and illegal aliens into the United States interior — many ending up in
New York City, where they can work off the books, receive protection from the city's sanctuary
policy, and enjoy free housing paid for by local taxpayers. Now, Adams says, the city has hit
a "breaking point" from illegal immigration.
The Editor says...
The mayor can renounce and rescind New York's status as a "Sanctuary City" at any time, and Texas might
stop sending illegal aliens. But he won't do so, for political reasons. He doesn't seem to
understand that there is an unlimited supply of hungry and unemployed
(and violent
and diseased) immigrants arriving every day,
and there are multiple ways of transporting them to the cities that boast about being sanctuaries.
Why
Not Just Invite the Entire World to the U.S.? Today's reality is that there is no
national border. At least for those crossing by foot or caravan. For those attempting
to enter the U.S. legally, by following the law and visa application process, it's a nightmare of
rules, delays, cost, and frustration. For those interested, read here about the bizarre
labyrinth facing citizens of many countries to legally visit or transit through America. Lady
Liberty doesn't want any "huddled masses yearning to breathe free" that follow American law, but
has her arms and purse wide open to those coming to America illegally. How many? Before
President Biden, "As of 2021, the nation's 10.5 million unauthorized immigrants represented
about 3% of the total U.S. population." What about now, specifically the past three years under
Biden? Since Biden took office in early 2021, the Customs and Border Protection Agency (CBP)
has "encountered" almost 8 million border crossers, the majority young military age
males. In August alone, that number was 232,972, an annualized rate of 3 million
migrants a year.
The Editor says...
The widely-touted figure of 11 million illegal aliens has been treated like an indisputable
mathematical constant by the news media for at least 20 years. There were probably that
many in Texas alone, even before Joe Biden (or his puppeteers) opened up the border a few years ago.
Three
simple fixes would radically improve the 'border' situation — but Democrats don't
care. We don't have a border. The media constantly tell the public that the
illegal immigration problem is a complex issue that's extremely hard to solve, but that is not
true. The border was significantly more controlled under President Trump, before Joe Biden
reversed his successful policies. There are three main things that would greatly reduce the problem:
[#1] Enforce existing laws.
[#2] Make people who seek asylum remain in Mexico. If we did that, Mexico would
suddenly enforce their southern border, instead of allowing illegals from all over the world to stroll into the
U.S. The nation couldn't afford to keep the masses within its borders, and the government knows it.
[#3] Build the wall. It is the cheapest solution, both short- and long-term.
Then why is New York still a "sanctuary city?"
Eric
Adams Suggests Migrant Crisis Will Result In Rampant Crime. Democratic New York City
Mayor Eric Adams raised concerns that the city's migrant crisis will create more crime during a
press conference Tuesday. Migrants that are arriving and unable to work in the U.S. legally
have become a challenge for the city, Adams said during the news conference, where he was asked
about rising crime. Out of the more than 100,000 migrants that have arrived to the city, only
2,200 have been approved for work permits, Anne Williams-Isom, the city's deputy mayor for health
and human services, said. "When I talk about the devastation impact that the migrant and asylum
seekers, people only think about the volume of people that are coming in. There are
byproducts to this, cuts to services, like we had to postpone a police class, looking at some of
the budgetary cuts, having a body of people, many young, who can't work," Adams said.
The Editor says...
Those problems were all self-inflicted.
"Mass
Migration Blueprints" Reveal NGOs "Carefully Planned" US Migrant Invasion, Report
Says. A network of NGOs, or non-governmental organizations, seems to be playing a
powerful role in coordinating the large-scale invasion of illegals at the US southern border.
The new website Muckraker revealed a treasure trove of "mass migration blueprints," handed out by
NGOs across South and Central America to illegals with details about their route to the US.
Biden's
broken borders, welfare, and America's coming collapse. Wall Street has always liked
the idea of open borders because it sees people chasing jobs, thereby increasing wealth. A
certain sector has also liked the idea of unlettered immigrants who can easily be exploited, but
that's another subject entirely. Another group that likes open borders is leftists. As
this UMinn professor made clear, they loath America, and a country without borders isn't a country
at all. This is great for Biden because his illegal open border caters to both demographics,
Wall Street and the hard left. It's not often that you get a political two-fer quite like
that. Milton Friedman, who believed in the free flow of capital, also liked open
borders. However, he had a very firm caveat: "It's just obvious you can't have free
immigration and a welfare state."
Illegals
Near NYC's Floyd Bennett Field [are] Going Door to Door Begging for Money [and] Food.
Illegals being housed at a tent shelter at Floyd Bennett Field in NYC are going door to door in the
neighboring community begging for cash, food, and clothes. Residents are learning the hard
way what it means to be a sanctuary city. [...] On Tuesday, Guardian Angels founder Curtis Sliwa
shared a video taken outside of Floyd Bennett Field showing the deteriorating conditions of the
tent city and called on the city to step in. Sliwa shared, "So here we are. We got the
four tents behind us. You got all the migrants behind us, they won't let us get any closer.
And we've gone all through Marine Park in the area where all the illegal aliens are going."

All-Time Worsts for America with Joe Biden as President. President Joe Biden has
helped break records this year at the United States-Mexico border. In particular, Biden's
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) oversaw record illegal immigration, again, to the U.S. in
2023. According to private testimony from DHS officials given to House and Senate committees
this month, the agency is releasing about 5,000 illegal aliens every day from the border into
American communities. Put another way, Biden's DHS is releasing about 150,000 illegal aliens
into the U.S. interior every month — the equivalent of adding ten Martha's Vineyards to
the country every 30 days.
Joe
Biden's Southern Border Is in Chaos, and It's Going to Cost the U.S. Billions. It's
no secret that our southern border is in nothing less than disarray, and the blame can be squarely
placed on the Biden administration's rhetoric and policies. It's gotten so bad states along
the border are having to take extraordinary actions to combat the problem. Governor Greg
Abbott of Texas has signed a law authorizing law enforcement to arrest illegal immigrants and even
Democratic Governor Katie Hobbs of Arizona has tapped the National Guard to help control the
problem. The Biden administration has actively opposed efforts in those states to stymie
illegal immigration, ordering Arizona to remove shipping container walls and actively sabotaging
deterrents in Texas.
More
than 242,000 people arrived at the southern border in November. U.S. Customs and
Border Protection recorded more than nearly a quarter of a million encounters at the southwest land
border in the month of November, the agency confirmed Friday, while insisting that authorities
stationed along the Mexican frontier need additional support from Congress. In total, CBP
reported 242,418 arrivals at the southern border in November, including 191,113 between ports of
entry. The figures represent a modest uptick from the October numbers of 240,988 total and
188,778 between ports of entry. The agency processed 43,000 individuals at ports of entry
using the CBP One app.
Biden's
Parole Pipeline Frees Over 670K Foreign Nationals into U.S. in 11 Months.
President Joe Biden's parole pipeline at the United States-Mexico border has released a foreign
population into American communities larger than Las Vegas, Nevada's, population in less than a
year. On Friday, Biden's Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released illegal immigration
figures for November. The data shows that since the start of the year, more than 670,000
foreign nationals have been released into the U.S. interior through the administration's parole
pipeline. The parole pipeline is made up of so-called "humanitarian parole" that Biden's DHS
offers to Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans as well as the "CBP One" migrant mobile
app whereby foreign nationals in Mexico can schedule appointments at the border for release into
the U.S. interior.
10
more migrant buses arrive in Denver as Speer encampment grows. Residents who live
near a migrant encampment at Zuni and Speer say the number of tents is growing and the trash is
becoming a larger issue. On Thursday, 10 buses arrived in Denver with 341 migrants
inside. The city said that puts Denver on track to break 100 buses just in December.
One of the main spots they're landing is an encampment at Zuni Street and Speer Boulevard.
With more migrants coming in, residents' concerns are growing — one of those concerns
being the trash created by a growing number of people in that one spot.
"13M
Gotaways" Alone, 14,509 Illegal Crossers in One Day. A Washinton Examiner report puts
the new estimate this week of the growing population of "gotaways" in the United States at a
sky-high 13 million, more than the population of every state except four: California,
Texas, New York, and Florida. "I think the number is around, now, probably close to
13 million," said Steven Camarota, the research director for the Center for Immigration
Studies. There is a formula for determining the numbers, but there could be one million to
two million more than that. [...] Border Patrol announced this week that on Monday, they had a
total record-breaking 14,509 apprehensions across all sectors in one day.
Secession
Without Secession. The border patrol has simply waved the white flag to any and all
comers, criminals, rapists, murderers, terrorists and cartels. Everything Texas has done to
stop it has been challenged by who? The federal government. Federal agents were cutting
the razor wire placed by Texas as a barrier to these illegals. My point is, the enemy within
might be able to destroy the United States, but they cannot destroy the states, unless the states
allow them to do so. The United States is the same as the European Union, at one time it was
a blessing that has turned into a curse. We don't have to live like this.
Biden
is breaking the border on purpose — he wants mass amnesty. The backlog of
pending cases in the nation's immigration courts has hit 3 million, as millions of border
migrants have been released into the United States to seek asylum in the past three years.
It's a shocking figure, but just the latest example of the president's efforts to break the
immigration-enforcement system, likely to force a massive amnesty he has long sought.
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas — among others — has accused
former President Trump of "gutting" the immigration system, but such claims are little more than
projection. Annual southwest border apprehensions exceeded 405,500 just once during the last
presidency, in fiscal year 2019 when they hit 860,000. Trump responded with the successful "Remain
in Mexico" program, driving illegal migration down again. Apprehensions have subsequently
exceeded 2 million in the past two fiscal years, setting a new all-time record
(2.2 million) in FY 2022.
15
GOP Senators Warn Against Secret Border Deal With Democrats. Nearly one-third of
Senate Republicans are asking their leaders not to finalize a border agreement with President Joe
Biden and other Democrats without allowing members to review it. The 15 GOP members sent a
letter dated Sunday to Republican Conference Chairman John Barrasso, R-Wyo., to ask for a meeting
of all Senate Republicans no sooner than Jan. 8, when the House reconvenes. "Rushed and
secret negotiations with Democrats who want an open border and who caused the current crisis will
not secure the border," the GOP senators' letter to Barrasso says. A spokeswoman for Barrasso
told The Daily Signal on Monday: "Chairman Barrasso received a request from 15 colleagues for a
conference meeting on immigration. He will work with all Republican senators to schedule the
meeting." Sen. James Lankford, R-Okla., was named as the GOP point man to negotiate a
border agreement with Senate Democrats. This would be part of a larger deal to fund border
security within a national security spending bill to provide U.S. financial aid both to Ukraine's
defense against Russia and Israel's war with Hamas.
Biden's
Failure to Stop Border 'Invasion' Is Impeachable Offense, GOP House Member Says.
President Joe Biden's unwillingness to stop the border crisis is an impeachable offense that
eclipses the issues surrounding his ties to his family's alleged influence peddling, a member of
the House Homeland Security Committee says. "Just on the border alone, we have a commander in
chief that is operating in high crimes and misdemeanors because he is not securing our homeland,"
Rep. Josh Brecheen, R-Okla., told The Daily Signal. "That — even aside from the
bribery element — the Constitution sets up those three elements of treason, bribery, and
high crimes and misdemeanors for impeachment." The House voted last week to formalize an
impeachment inquiry into Biden as three of its committees — Oversight and
Accountability, Ways and Means, and Judiciary — investigate allegations of corruption
and influence peddling.

Migrant
groups launch lawsuits against Border Patrol over camping conditions near San Diego.
It's not enough that the food isn't good enough in New York for migrants, who are reportedly
wasting tons of it. Nor is it enough that migrants are getting any shelter at all, as the
same migrants demonstrated in the streets with demands for permanent housing. Now migrant
open-borders groups are complaining about holding-camp conditions for illegal border crossers,
hitting the Border Patrol with two lawsuits in San Diego. [...] After all, didn't the migrants pay
good money to cartel human smugglers, upwards of $7,000 a pop, for passage across into the U.S.
with no visas or papers needed? If the cartels select a remote desert spot for migrant-dumping,
the Border Patrol better be ready to house all of them, no matter how many they send, and with
five-star hotel accomodations, or else lawsuits will be filed.
'We're
Just Uber Drivers': Border Patrol Agent Says America Is Being Destroyed.
[Scroll down] A small sampling of illegal immigrants at the camps say they came from
China, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Uzbekistan, Turkey, Mauritania, Colombia, and Brazil. Sam
Schultz, whose family volunteers for a group called Border Kindness and are affiliated with the
legal services organization Al Otro Lado, which means "to the other side" in Spanish, delivers food
and water to the camps daily. He told The Epoch Times on Dec. 5 he was worried about
running out of supplies with so many illegal immigrants crossing that day. Mr. Schultz
said about 30 percent of the illegal immigrants in the latest wave to the Jacumba camps are
from China. Manny Bayon, a National Border Patrol Council union spokesman in San Diego, told
The Epoch Times the number of illegal immigrants released into San Diego County has doubled in the
last two weeks — from 400 to 500 per day to 800 to 1,000.
No, a "hardline" policy would limit them to 50 a day. Or five. Or zero.
Senate
closes in on deal on new hardline border policy that could ban asylum after 5,000 crossings a
day. The Senate has pushed off its holiday recess to work on a border security and
foreign aid package in what could be a breakthrough on immigration policy[,] that has not been dealt
with by Congress in decades. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said the talks had made
'good progress' on Thursday on a package that would include money for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan
and would bolster border security measures in exchange. One idea under consideration is to
allow Homeland Security officials to stop migrants from applying for asylum at the southern border
if the total number of crossings on a day exceeds 5,000.
Border?
What Border? There's been a lot going on in the news lately, but I have kept one eye
on the goings-on at the southern border. Just because there are wars outside the United States that
catch the eye changes nothing about the importance of our border crisis. And it is a crisis.
A huge crisis, and even if the flow of migrants stopped tomorrow, the US will be dealing with the effects
for years to come. Like increased prices after a surge of inflation, the huge bump in the number of
migrants won't decrease the significant burden of the illegals who have already arrived. Since Joe
Biden was inaugurated, uncounted millions (I mean this term literally) of illegal migrants have crossed
into the United States. The number of migrants who have turned themselves into the Border Patrol is
staggering, but then there are the millions more about whom we know nothing because they are "gotaways,"
meaning that they are uncounted and unknown.
Noncitizens
who vote in Texas. In early 2019, the Texas secretary of state compiled a list of
about 95,000 people who appeared to be noncitizens yet had also registered to vote in
one or more elections. In addition, the secretary found 58,000 noncitizens who might have
actually voted. It was not a final list: the goal was simply to make inquiries. But
the Republican secretary of state did not understand that sensitive Democrat voters might find
those questions intimidating. Soon, multiple lawsuits were filed (claiming voter
intimidation), and a quick judicial decision shut down the process. As a result of the
court's ruling, the Texas secretary of state was forced to modify his procedures, and he made
modifications that seriously undermined efforts to investigate noncitizen voting. Here is how
the new Texas system works: the only people who can be investigated are those who register to vote
and subsequently confess to the Texas Department of Public Safety that they are not citizens.
In effect, the voter has to volunteer that he may have committed a felony. Despite the crazy
new rules, the Texas secretary of state has identified nearly 12,000 noncitizens who may
have registered to vote — in just the four Texas counties studied.
Latino
Democrats Tout Migrants as Their Constituents. Democratic Latino politicians are
demanding President Joe Biden protect the interests of foreign migrants, regardless of the huge
civic and pocketbook damage to unhyphenated Americans, Latino-Americans, and legal immigrants.
"We are here to protect immigration as it is," Rep. Nanette Barragan (D-CA), told an audience
of legislators, activists, and media at a December 13 rally beside the Capitol. The
rally called on President Joe Biden to deny any significant concessions to GOP negotiators in the
debate over his demand for $14 billion in emergency funds to accelerate and hide his migration
flood, and funds for wartime aid for Israel and Ukraine.
Most likely an underestimation:
Biden's
Border Crisis Just Keeps Getting Worse, 13 Million Illegal Aliens Now In U.S..
As the 2024 election rounds the corner, President Joe Biden's border crisis is at the forefront of
voter's minds — which has exceeded a staggering 13 million illegal aliens now in
the United States. According to a new report, the growing number of "gotaways" has reached a
record high as migrants illegally enter the U.S. through the southern border. Steven
Camarota, the research director for the Center for Immigration Studies, said that there are now
nearly 50 million foreign-born citizens in the U.S. — driven solely based on the
Biden Administration's open border policies. This number is far more than the government
previously expected. He said this is the most significant percentage of foreign-born
immigrants in the U.S. the country has ever seen. However, Camarota said that number is just
an estimate and could be much larger than recorded. His report also found that illegal border
crossings under Biden have exceeded far beyond the presidencies of Obama and Bush.
Americans
Must Choose Between Civilization or Its Destroyers. Nihilism is the religion of the
Left. Anarchy is now at the core of the new Democratic Party. If the Left wished
radically to alter the demography of the U.S., it could have expanded legal immigration through
legislation or the courts. Instead, it simply erased the border and dynamited federal
immigration law. By fiat, nihilists ended the wall, and stopped detaining and deporting
illegal aliens altogether. Or was it worse than that when candidate Joe Biden in
September 2019 urged would-be illegal aliens to "surge" the border? As a result, through
laxity and entitlement incentives, eight million illegal entrants have swarmed the southern border
under the Biden administration. They are swamping border towns, bankrupting big-city budgets,
and infuriating even Democratic constituencies.
Abbott
Announces Texas Border Officers Will Be Allowed to Arrest Illegal Aliens.
Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) announced sweeping new measures aimed at keeping illegal migrants out
of the United States as thousands have unlawfully crossed the border through his state under the
Biden Administration. On Sunday, Abbott announced that state officers will soon be allowed to
arrest and detain illegal aliens in an effort to curb the mass numbers of migrants entering the
U.S. through the southern border. "Well, I'll tell you a couple of things very
interesting. For one, the problem is extraordinarily bad. The numbers are high, and
that is because Joe Biden continues to lay out the welcome mat, welcoming illegal immigrants into
the United States of America," Abbott told FOX News Channels' Sunday Morning Futures with
host Maria Bartiromo.
Biden's
DOJ Fines Tennessee Christian Trucking Company $700,000 for Requiring Workers to Disclose Legal
Status. Biden's Department of Justice has slapped a whopping $700,000 fine on
Covenant Transport Inc. and the affiliated Transport Management Services LLC, both stellar examples
of Tennessee's robust transportation sector. The recent decision by the Department of Justice
(DOJ) to impose a $700,000 fine on Covenant Transport Inc., a Christian trucking company based in
Chattanooga, Tennessee, raises significant concerns about the overreach of federal power and the
disregard for the realities faced by businesses in regulating their workforce. The DOJ, under
Joe Biden's regime, claims this measure is to resolve alleged violations of the anti-discrimination
provision of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) by Covenant and its affiliated entity,
Transport Management Services LLC.
Six
Democrats Join House GOP to Block Biden from Turning Federal Lands into Migrant Camps.
Just six Democrats joined House Republicans this week to prevent President Joe Biden from turning
federal lands into migrant camps for tens of thousands of illegal aliens who have been released
into the United States interior. On Thursday, the House passed Rep. Nicole Malliotakis's
legislation known as the "Protecting our Communities from Failure to Secure the Border Act" to block
the federal government from using federal lands to house illegal aliens in a 224-203 vote.
Waves
of Invasion. We are at a point when the entire American population is awakening to
the fact that the ongoing daily invasion of our southern border is a real problem, after millions
of foreigners have already entered and disappeared among our 48 contiguous states. And yet we
have a Democrat party, which inhabits a government, founded in the Constitution, that down to the
last member rejects its "law" to execute the standing laws regarding defending our borders and
controlling immigration. They have allowed this invasion to continue since January 2021.
What could be the reason? If we look at our history, this is not the first invasion the
Democrat party has championed. It is one of many.
Where's
America's Conor McGregor? [Scroll down] We do not have to accept the
invaders or their criminal actions, or the criminal actions of our own governments, for that
matter. Whatever actions are required to make our governments respect our demands is
acceptable. It was criminality that brought them here, unofficial and official, that allowed
them the open door to our homes, our shops, our streets and public places and so whatever force is
needed to return them seems justified. They opened the door, they can close it. They
allowed them to come, they can send them back. Whatever level of force it takes to make them
listen to the people, is up to them. Whenever they want the protests to stop, they can remove
the cause. Whenever they want the murders, rapes and robberies to stop, they can stop them by
removing the people they brought in to conduct such atrocities. We know the reason is to
frighten us, an act of terrorism itself, to succumb to their control in the interest of safety.
Americans
are angry about immigration. The Know-Nothings represented one of America's periodic
anti-immigrant backlashes — others included the nativist backlash of the 1910s that led
to the restrictive Johnson-Reed Act of 1924, and the 1990s backlash that led to a 1996 law making
many immigrants ineligible for welfare benefits, and to the Secure Fence Act a decade later.
If you think the U.S. is always an open, inviting, immigrant-friendly place, think again.
Usually it is; every backlash so far has eventually faded, and a permissive immigration
system has returned. Our leaders, from George Washington and Thomas Jefferson to LBJ and
Ronald Reagan, have almost always been a pro-immigrant bunch. Immigration is deeply ingrained
in our national self-concept. But every once in a while, a sufficiently large number of
Americans get the idea that immigration is a threat to our nation, and they take actions to limit
that perceived threat. Unfortunately, now appears to be one of those times.
Germany
Discovers You Can in Fact Slash Illegal Immigration by Policing Borders. The number
of illegal migrants known crossing into Germany has collapsed in just weeks after the government
decided to try something new: border control. Around 300 illegal migrants are detected
crossing on average into Germany every day, down considerably from the roughly 700 a day a month
ago, analysis of police figures in a German newspaper claims. The sudden change follows a new
policy of border control from the nation's 'traffic light' coalition government, dominated by the
pro-open borders left-wing Social Democrats and the Green party, with some input from the
free-market liberal Free Democrats.

Report:
'Mysterious' Entities Giving Migrants GPS Coordinates to Unsecure Locations on Southern
Border. "Hundreds of illegal aliens" heading for the U.S. Southern border have been
provided with GPS coordinates of unsecured locations to help them cross en masse, according to a
new report. The crossings are "clearly pre-planned and organized by mysterious hands," Border
Hawk reported Monday. Border Hawk correspondent Efraín González was recently
embedded with a large group of migrants making their way at night through Piedras Negras, Mexico,
to the Rio Grande. "We accompanied this caravan that walked for an hour in the darkest to reach
the crossing point," González reported. The reporter spoke with one migrant who
suggested the Mexican government was directing their movements. "The migrant said they were
angry Mexican authorities sent them to cross into this dangerous area of the river at night,"
González said. "Most of these people do not know how to get to the river. However,
through GPS they obtain the exact location where forklift tractors raised the razor wire in
October," he added. According to Border Hawk, "GPS-guided mass crossings into Eagle Pass"
increased in November.
Democrats
[are] forced to choose between Ukraine and open borders. [Scroll down]
According to news accounts, the GOP is seeking legal changes to the definition of "asylum" such as
it's practiced now so that only actual asylum cases of some level of merit will be
considered. It won't just be claims about living in a bad neighborhood and wanting a better
life, the types of asylum claims that regularly are thrown out once they reach a judge some ten
years from now and the illegal migrant has long disappeared into U.S. society. Processing of
U.S. asylum claims in a timely manner and according to U.S. capacity to process them could also be
on the horse-trading list. Don't have enough personnel? Then applicants will have to
apply to another country, and there are more than a hundred of them. Such changes are
reasonable if the GOP does not cave in, and would actually benefit Democrats too, though they see a
bigger benefit in leaving the border open. Now they have to choose — aid to
Ukraine, or defense of the U.S. border, which do they want more?
Smells
Like a Cover-Up: Some Border Patrol Social Media Accounts Go Dark, Bill Melugin Has Big
Questions. The border has been out of control for some time and Joe Biden seems
uninterested in trying to stem the influx of illegal aliens. It's gotten so bad that the
Republicans have even talked about impeaching Alejandro Mayorkas, the Department of Homeland
Security head, although Biden would likely appoint someone equally bad in order to keep the doors
open to let the flood continue. The Customs and Border Patrol is overwhelmed and not being
allowed to properly do their job. Meanwhile, Mayorkas is concentrating on making the agents
use the "preferred pronouns" of the illegal aliens. So it was quite concerning when the Chief
Patrol Agent of the U.S. Border Patrol's Tucson Sector, John Modlin, announced that the Tucson
sector social media account on X would stop posting and go dark.
Over
300 migrants move into San Diego airport. Over three hundred migrants have been
crashing at the San Diego International Airport as the border city has been hit with a surge of
crossers. Overnight stays by migrants have become common at the airport, but in recent weeks
the number has drastically risen. On Thursday, a bus dropped off dozens of immigrants at
Terminal two, Fox 5 reported.
How
Much the Northern Border Saw In Illegal Crossings. The southern border is not the only one
reaping the downfall effects of President Joe Biden's reckless open border policies. The Northern
border has also seen a record-breaking surge in illegal crossings. According to data, the United
States' northern border with Canada saw a 550 percent increase in migrant apprehensions in the last
fiscal year. There were 6,925 apprehensions in the Swanton sector in fiscal year 2023 between
October 2022 and September 2023. This is compared to 1,000 in the same sector the previous year,
covering New York, New Hampshire, and Vermont, and just 365 in FY 2021. Swanton Sector Chief
Patrol Agent Robert Garcia hit the panic button and requested Border Patrol agents to volunteer
to transfer up north. [Tweet]
Analysis:
Over 23M Immigrants Eligible to Vote in U.S. Ahead of 2024 Election. Ahead of the
highly-anticipated 2024 presidential election, more than 23 million immigrants to the United
States who now have naturalized American citizenship are eligible to cast ballots, new analysis
reveals. The left-wing American Immigration Council released the analysis recently, giving a
glimpse into the electoral power that the nation's annual importation of more than a million legal
immigrants has given to naturalized citizens.
The Editor says...
I am not opposed to naturalized citizens voting, but I strenuously object to illegal aliens voting, accepting
welfare benefits, or comfortably residing without fear of deportation. I am also of the opinion that
several other categories of legal voters should not vote, even though they may.
Something
is very wrong — What now? The elites who rule over us won't secure our
border — or do many other things most of us want them to do — so in a very real
sense we have taxation without representation. We have come full circle and find ourselves in
much the same position as our founders did almost 250 years ago. We know what the founders'
answer was. What will ours be? We know what they did? What will we do? Can we
match their wisdom — and courage? Is it even possible anymore?
The Editor says...
The Congress can't even stop Daylight Saving Time, which most citizens dislike. There's no way
they'll ever find the backbone to seal the borders and deport the illegal aliens.
Martha's
Vineyard [is] once again allowed to boot out the illegals that we commoners are not.
The snobbery and pseudo-elitism that goes hand-in-hand with the elevated status of a Martha's
Vineyard leftist makes it easy to pity their position instead of envy it, with one exception: their
ability to swiftly and decisively eject illegal invaders. On Monday, agents from Boston's
Enforcement and Removal Office (ERO) apprehended and arrested a Brazilian national living in the
elite enclave, because he was a "predator" whose presence was "threaten[ing] to residents."
You don't say. [...] A hardened criminal exploiting an open border and the U.S. welfare
system? Impossible! Karine Jean-Pierre has repeatedly assured us that the border is
totally secure, and any "undocumented" persons who do happen to slip through are not a
detriment — any insistence otherwise is xenophobic. But wait, why does the
Martha's Vineyard aristocracy get zero-tolerance agents who protect their communities?
Lessons
From Britain's National Extinction — Its Deep State Is As Bad As Ours. We
Americans can learn something from watching Britain's descent into the pit of national extinction,
which has proceeded much further than ours. Britain's present is our future,
if we don't make a serious course change. Britain, like the USA, has a wide-open southern
border. It's called the English Channel. Pay a sum of money to some coyote in France
or Belgium and he'll put you in a boat and ship you north across the channel. On arrival
you'll be perfunctorily checked in, then awarded three hots and a cot in a pleasant hotel,
courtesy of British taxpayers, with lifetime settlement rights and welfare benefits. See,
it's just like our system; only that the invaders swarming into the USA have to cross a few miles
of desert, while over there it's a few miles of sea. [...] Britain, like us, has a two-party
political system in which the two parties have essentially no difference of opinion on anything
relating to the continuity and preservation of nationhood.
Senate
'Gang of Six' Negotiates Republican Giveaway on Migration. Roughly 30 Republican
senators are backing the House's H.R. 2 migration stabilization bill — but a gang of six
senators, including three Republicans, are drafting a giveaway "compromise" bill. "H.R. 2
should be the focus," said a policy analyst who favors pro-American migration laws, adding:
["]There's no reason to preemptively surrender good border security legislation before we're
forced to negotiate [with the House]. What the Senators who are supporting that [compromise]
package are doing essentially is preemptively surrendering, preemptively giving away very important
pieces of H.R. 2 before they're even being forced to do so.["] "They're negotiating
with themselves" instead of with Democrats, he added. Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Thom
Tillis (R-NC), and James Lankford (R-OK), are working with three Democrats to write a pretend compromise
in the end-of-year budget battles over funding for Israel, Ukraine, and President Joe Biden's border
security agency, he said, adding that their plan is "not going do anything of any substance."
Biden's
illegal invasion is an unfunded mandate killing US cities and he's planning to expand it.
Recently Joe Biden bragged about his intention to allow more massive amounts of illegals to flood the
country and it's frightening. [Tweet with video clip] Reparations for migrants?
What I never heard talked about is the fact that this is an unfunded mandate. Biden does
everything he can to keep the borders open for illegal invasion, to keep fentanyl flowing across the
border, keep money pouring into the coffers of Mexican cartels and keep human trafficking flourishing.
This has a human horrible cost. Young females are being abused on their travels to here.
Over 100,00 [sic] are dying every year from opiate overdose, most from fentanyl. Then there is
a gigantic financial cost to America. We have seen how big-mouth politicians have devolved into
mealy-mouthed politicians when their boasts of being sanctuary states and cities have their words
shoved down their throats. One is tempted to simply say "They asked for this. Their
constituents voted for this" and that's a fair assessment. Eric Adams, the mayor of New York
City, is one such idiot. He repeatedly boasted of being a sanctuary city. Now that NYC
has taken 142,000 illegals, the cost is becoming onerous. To accommodate the illegals, Adams
is punishing Americans. He plans to slash the budget by $4 billion across the board by
eviscerating the police force and education for his constituents.

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

Only
800 of New York's tens of thousands of illegal immigrants have applied for work
authorization. It has been revealed that out of the tens of thousands of illegal
immigrants that have taken over New York City within the past 18 months, less than two percent have
applied for work visas. Democrats at every level of government continue to say that getting
more work visas will solve the illegal immigration problem in New York. AOC and other
Democrats staged a press conference outside midtown Manhattan's Roosevelt Hotel on Friday to speak
about work authorizations, more federal funding, and the American dream, but they were shouted down
by constituents who very clearly want the border closed. According to New York Post, only 800
adult-aged illegal immigrants have filed the necessary paperwork required to obtain work visas
which will allow them to start earning a legal wage. Data shows that there are roughly 60,000
illegal immigrants currently residing in the Big Apple.
What
Happened to the 177,000 Illegal Aliens DHS Lost? We are not in very good hands when
it comes to our homeland security. DHS Inspector General reports that 177,000 illegal aliens
who were released in the U.S. disappeared. But that's not all. Out of the 177,000
illegal immigrants released, 54,000 were found to have blank addresses. The rest either had
invalid or nonexistent addresses. Address forms included 50 different locations, including a
Maryland restaurant, a Georgia bus station, a New Jersey car dealership, and an Illinois
church. DHS cannot send an immigration hearing notice to illegal aliens if they do not have a
valid address. In the process of screening illegals to determine if they pose a threat to
national security or criminal activity, a valid address is required. Without it, the illegals
cannot be arrested and deported.
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...
[#1] Mexico is a massive country, too. [#2] Why do illegal immigrants deserve the mayor's
"protection" from the moment they arrive? They should all be deported.
An
Eyewitness on the Border. I've reported on the Arizona-Mexico border for a long time,
and recently published a novel about a ranching family battling a drug cartel trying to take over
their ranch. But for on-the-ground grit and realism, it's hard to match the account of a
Border Patrol agent who works the line every day. Early last month, a friend began sending me
emails written by an agent who risks losing his job if his identity becomes public. But what
this whistleblower sees every day is endangering the country he loves, and he has to speak out.
House
committee says Mayorkas 'enriched the cartels' after second phase of Republican-led
investigation. The House Homeland Security Committee released the findings of the
second part of their probe Thursday into Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro
Mayorkas, finding he "enriched the cartels," according to a copy of the report obtained by the
Daily Caller News Foundation. Under Mayorkas' leadership as DHS secretary, cartels have
gained more control over the southern border and smuggled more individuals and contraband across
it, according to the report. The first phase of House Homeland Security Chairman Mark Green's
probe focused on Mayorkas' alleged "dereliction" of his duty as secretary of DHS. Cartel
smuggling of illegal migrants has become a billion-dollar industry as illegal immigration has
surged, The New York Times reported in 2022. Border Patrol recorded a record of more than
2.2 million illegal migrant encounters along the southern border in fiscal year 2022,
according to federal data.
Biden
adminstration considering plan to force migrants to remain in Texas: report. The
Biden administration is considering forcing migrants who cross into the United States illegally to
remain in Texas while they wait out their asylum screening. Administration officials cite the
proposed plan as a way to curb the flow of illegal immigrants at the southern border, The Los
Angeles Times reported, citing three U.S. officials not authorized to discuss the matter. The
plan would force migrants to remain in Texas, or possibly other border states by tracking their
location through GPS monitoring devices, such as ankle bracelets, the officials told the Times.
The Editor says...
If he can force them to remain in Texas, why can't he force them to remain in Mexico?
The Veil
of National Security. There is no national security. One cannot have national
security with an open border and unvetted entrants. It's as simple as that. What we do
have is national secrets kept from the people for no other reason than to protect the usurpers and
treasonous from the consequences of their actions. Part of this is accomplished from hiding
the facts from the people, the other part is accomplished by arresting those who discover the
hidden facts. The point is, if the government didn't have so much to hide from the people,
especially their illegal activity, there would be very little that would have to be kept
secret. But, today, almost everything that points to government corruption is hidden behind
the veil of national security. If this were a proper republic, with laws and stuff like that,
where individuals had rights to privacy and the government didn't, as intended, it would be a much
different place and it might prosper. But in the corrupt world the treasonous have created
out of the shell of the republic, it cannot. Prosperity is the first casualty of tyranny.
Biden
Launches Nationwide Workforce Initiative — for Illegal Aliens. President
Joe Biden's Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has launched a nationwide workforce initiative
that seeks to funnel millions of border crossers and illegal aliens into United States
jobs — even as the labor force participation rate for Americans continues to
decline. On Wednesday, Biden's DHS announced "a first-of-its-kind national campaign" to make
millions of border crossers and illegal aliens, who have been released into the U.S. interior,
aware that they are eligible for work permits to take American jobs.
1.2
Million US-born workers lost their jobs last month, replaced by 688,000 foreign-born staff.
Staggering figures have revealed that over 1.2 million US-born workers lost their jobs last month while
the foreign-born workforce increased by nearly 700,000, as migrants continue to flood across the border under
the Biden administration. Data from US Bureau of Labor Statistics show that between July and August,
there was a staggering decrease of 1.223 million native-born people in the workforce, which is a low
not beaten since the jobs crash when Covid hit in April 2020. In stark contrast almost 688,000 jobs
were secured by foreign-born workers, underlining the difference in Joe Biden's pro-migration policies
versus Donald Trump's tough border stance.
What
the Left Did to Our Country. Biden destroyed the southern border —
literally. Eight million entered illegally — no background checks, no green cards,
no proof of vaccinations. America will be dealing with the consequences for decades.
Mexico was delighted, receiving some $60 million in annual remittances, while the cartels were
empowered to ship enough fentanyl to kill 100,000 Americans a year.
The
Biden administration has effectively outsourced U.S. immigration to the Mexican cartels. [Video clip]
The video above features Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s mini-documentary "Midnight At the Border," in which he
travels to the U.S.-Mexico border in Yuma, Arizona, to investigate the illegal immigration issue
firsthand. [...] A major take-home from Kennedy's exposé of the border crisis is that the
Biden administration has effectively outsourced U.S. immigration to the cartels. Several
cartels are in fact now fighting for supremacy. According to Jonathan Lines, Yuma County,
Arizona, supervisor for District 2, there have been 300 assassinations in the past 18 months,
as the cartels fight for control of the human trafficking business. On the night that Kennedy
visited Yuma, some 150 people from all over the world crossed the border. And, as noted by
Lines, that's a new phenomenon. In the past, most of the border-jumpers came from Mexico and
South America. Now, most of those entering the U.S. illegally are from China, Africa and
Eastern Europe. People are also coming from Russia, Syria, Ukraine, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan,
Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and Bangladesh. They've heard there's no border control,
so they make their way to Mexico first, and then cross over from there.
Record
numbers of families streamed across U.S border illegally in August. US Border Patrol
has arrested at least 91,000 migrants who crossed the overflowing border as part of family groups
in August — as detainments rose by 30 percent for two consecutive months. For the first time
during Joe Biden's presidency, families were the biggest demographic moving across the US-Mexico
border — surpassing single adults. The influx follows his rolling out of new restrictions to
slow down illegal crossings. This is more than the previous one-month record of 84,486 set in
May 2019, which occurred during Donald Trump's tenure, Washington Post reports.
CBP
demoted whistleblowers who revealed 'decade-long failure' to collect criminal DNA :docs.
US Customs and Border Protection retaliated for years against three whistleblowers who called out its
failure to collect DNA from millions of detainees, allowing some violent criminals to evade justice for
decades, a federal investigation found. Fred Wynn, Mike Taylor and Mark Jones faced professional
and financial consequences for spotlighting their agency's refusal to comply with federal law enforcement rules
for DNA collection on criminal arrestees since 2009, according to the US Office of Special Counsel (OSC).
Who
knew that ISIS would try to take advantage of an open border? [Scroll down]
What would a responsible president do? First, he would close the border and let the system
digest the ones already here. The mayor of New York City might support that. He could
use a break from the buses. Second, he would assure the country that further steps would be
implemented to keep out criminals or security threats. This is consistent with the oath that
he took when he assumed the position. Third, why aren't we talking to Mexico about
this? It's hard for me to believe that Mexico cannot stop this in a heartbeat. Or maybe
they can't and that would call for unilateral action against the criminal elements profiting from
the human traffic.
New
York is bankrupting itself with migrant shelters. Unless you're a local, you may have
never heard of Randall's Island in New York City. It typically doesn't generate a lot of
headlines, but it will soon. It's a nice, small island located between the East River and the
Harlem River and it has public parks, sports fields, and several other amenities. But now
there are massive metallic structures being constructed there where as many as 2,000 illegal
migrants will be housed, courtesy of the taxpayers of the state. Governor Kathy Hochul has
secured funding to provide $20 million per month to cover the cost of the shelter. That works
out to $10,000 per month for every migrant being given a bed there. And the locals can forget
about using the parks and the sports fields.
NYPD
ramps up security at Staten Island migrant shelter as protests rock neighborhood. Cop
cars and barricades surrounded a controversial Staten Island Catholic school-turned-migrant-shelter
Sunday — as police said they are bracing for a rally Monday that could bring more than
2,000 protesters. Many demonstrators outside the former St. John Villa Academy in
Arrochar have claimed they are not anti-immigrant, just concerned about the potential for crime and
angry at city officials for shipping migrants into their neighborhood with little warning.
"The government has to stop doing this to our communities in secret and stop lying about it when
they're confronted," said Scott Herkert, 53, who has lived next to the school for 22 years and was
among about a dozen demonstrators outside it Sunday. "This is a total disruption of my life."
Eric
Adams and Kathy Hochul [are] still clueless about the ongoing migrant crisis rocking
NYC. For several years, news reports have chronicled how tens of thousands of wealthy
and middle-class families have been fleeing New York City and state for less expensive and safer
destinations. More recently, news reports have chronicled how more than 100,000 illegal
immigrants who crossed the southern border and claimed asylum have come to the city, with 60,000 of
them living free of charge in publicly-funded hotels and shelters. The sheer numbers are
swamping the bureaucracy and budget and riling inundated neighborhoods. Seen in relation to
each other, the waves of departures and arrivals illustrate a rapid shift in the city's population
and tax base. They also sound a warning that Gotham's already-serious decline in public
safety and order is likely to accelerate.
Biden,
it's you. My guess is that Governor Hochul is in a no-win situation. She knows
that the problem lives at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, who opened the border. At the same time,
she has to keep the liberal wing of the party happy, or the same people who support this insane
policy. Mayor Adams is in the middle of this mess. His hands are tied, and the Abbott
Bus Lines keep dropping off passengers. The key word in the article is "totally
unsustainable," or the reality that a state losing taxpayers can't afford to spend more
money. In other words, every dollar that goes to migrants comes from another state or city
program. The other reality is that there is no money coming from Washington. The House
won't pass such an expenditure, and there are not 60 votes in the U.S. Senate.
Gov.
Kathy Hochul Announces Jobs Program for Illegal Aliens as 380K New Yorkers are Unemployed.
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) has announced a jobs program for tens of thousands of border crossers
and illegal aliens who are arriving in the sanctuary state every week, even as about 380,000 New Yorkers
are unemployed. As more than 100,000 border crossers and illegal aliens have arrived in New York,
mostly in New York City, since the spring of last year, Hochul has pleaded with President Joe Biden not
to stem the flow of illegal immigration but to more easily provide new arrivals with work permits.
Abbott
Sends 10th Bus Full of Illegal Migrants to Los Angeles. As President Joe Biden's open
border continues to wreak havoc on the United States, one Democratic city is suffering the
consequences. Over the weekend, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) sent its tenth bus full of
illegal migrants to Los Angeles just days after its mayor criticized the border state for sending
migrants. Democrat Mayor Karen Bass got a rude awakening when a bus of 39 illegal migrants
showed up on her doorstep. The bus, which included 12 families and 21 children, was sent five
days after Abbott sent the ninth shipment to the liberal city during Tropical Storm Hillary.
By "refugees" they mean illegal aliens.
Justice
Department sues SpaceX for not hiring refugees. SpaceX hires American citizens and
people with Green Cards but doesn't hire asylum seekers and refugees. This seems rational and
actually mirrors a policy practiced by NASA. Both do a lot of national security work and it makes
sense to restrict the pool of applicants. It is hardly unduly burdensome. The United
States is a big country and it is no tragedy that SpaceX has restricted its hiring to permanent
residents of the country. [Tweet] Now it is true that not all SpaceX jobs are high-security
positions, but it is difficult to see why the Justice Department is putting a laser focus on
SpaceX's hiring practices for its baristas and demanding that the company identify every
non-citizen and asylee who ever applied to SpaceX and pay them back pay for not being hired.
The Editor says...
It is not the proper role of government to create or locate jobs for illegal aliens.
Welcome
migrants, bye-bye property rights. Anti-borders politicians have created a migrant
crisis all over the United States. Despite proudly proclaiming themselves to be "sanctuary
cities" that refuse to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement efforts, places like New York
City and Boston have proven themselves to be profoundly inept at managing the large numbers of
migrants who have responded to their invitation. What are radical, globalist mayors and
lieutenant governors to do when they find themselves with egg on their faces? They expect
regular Janes and Joes to clean up their mess. In June of this year, New York City Mayor Eric
Adams asked everyday New Yorkers to consider housing migrants in spare rooms in their private
residences. More recently, Commonwealth of Massachusetts Lieutenant Governor Kim Driscoll
jumped on the bandwagon and appealed to Bay State residents to "host" migrants in "an extra room or
suite." The Big Apple and Beantown are two of the most expensive cities in the United
States. And they have both been whining about housing crises for years.
Our
Upside-Down Immigration System Rolls Out The Red Carpet For Illegals While Booting Skilled
Workers. Three machine-gun-toting cartel members waltzed across the Tex-Mex frontier,
near Eagle Pass, on August 5. The Border Patrol chased them, but they got away. These thugs
are armed, deadly, and could be plotting evil, anywhere in America. Some 200 illegal aliens
stormed the border crossing at Brownsville, Texas, on August 8. Rather than wait patiently, they
swamped Border Patrol officers, breached the checkpoint, and dashed into the interior. Who
are they? Where are they? Who knows? Over 100,000 illegal aliens have overpowered
New York City since last spring. They clog the sidewalks outside and rooms inside the
previously venerable Roosevelt Hotel, where bandleader Guy Lombardo and his Royal Canadians dazzled
radio listeners with "Auld Lang Syne" on many New Year's Eves. Democrat Mayor Eric Adams has
converted soccer fields on Randall's Island (in the East River) into a giant shelter for 2,000
illegals. Taxpayers starved for recreation and teenagers seeking team sports, rather than
trouble, are out of luck.
Illegals
[are] shocked how easy it is to come over [the] border. The Biden regime's
immigration policies are so ineffective at stopping the flood of illegal aliens that even the new
arrivals are shocked over how easy it is to cross over into the United States. Thousands of
northbound migrants are pouring across the border in southern Arizona on a daily basis, walking
unmolested through massive floodgates near the Tucson border post that have been left wide open
during the monsoon season and to facilitate migration for an endangered antelope species.
Stunning video footage obtained by the New York Post shows the illegals just casually walking
through the gates at a location that has become "the busiest point of illegal entry into the
country," according to the outlet. [Video clip]
Report:
Biden Admin Welds Arizona Border Wall Gates Open. A media report revealed that Biden

gates allow migrants to freely walk through the border wall and into the Arizona desert.
Border Patrol officials admitted responsibility for a decision to weld open flood gates in sections
of border wall near Lukeville, the New York Post reported. The admission reportedly
came after the agency attempted to blame other federal agencies for the action that allows
thousands of migrants to freely cross into what is now the nation's busiest border sector.
Biden
is Doing Everything Possible to Open Up the Border. The Biden administration and its
media allies keep acting as if the massive southern border invasion is something out of their
control. In reality, the administration has done everything possible to keep the border
open. The Biden administration has fought any state efforts at securing the border. Its
EPA sued Arizona to dismantle a wall of shipping containers being used to keep out some of the
alien invaders. Its DOJ sued Texas over floating barriers on the Rio Grande. The common
theme was to not only open the border as wide as possible to accommodate the invaders, but to
suppress any efforts by states to secure their borders on their own. Now it's actively
selling off parts of the border wall so they can never be used again.
Historic
LA hotel devolves into housing projects, repairs cost taxpayers more than $11.5
million. Built in 1926, The Mayfair Hotel in downtown Los Angeles was a historical
treasure, a unique marriage between the glamor of Old Hollywood and the elan of the Roaring
Twenties, and then California Democrats got ahold of it. The Mayfair once hosted the first
ever Academy Awards after-party, but now it houses Skid Row. [...] (How could anyone think inviting
drug-addled derelicts into a luxury hotel wouldn't end up this way?) Like
stereotypical crazy bums, the transients housed at the Mayfair "punched through walls," trashed
appliances and bathrooms, smashed windows to throw objects onto the street below, and left
fentanyl-covered tinfoil sheets strewn about. And, in predictable fashion, the idiotic decisions
of the left aren't limited to only affecting leftists, and the havoc spilled out onto the street.
A
horrific story from Mexico tells you what Biden is bringing to America. Since the day
he came into office, Biden has opened America's southern border, an illegal act that should see him
not only impeached but indicted and imprisoned. But that's not the world in which we
live. We live in a world in which millions of illegal aliens stream into America, a
substantial number of whom are Mexican cartel foot soldiers. That's why you should know about
the horrible deaths that five childhood friends suffered at the hands of the cartel in Jalisco,
Mexico. Between the third-world-style indictments against Trump and the trickle of
information about Biden's epic, anti-American corruption, we're not hearing a lot about what's
happening along our southern border. However, even though the border is headline news,
whether under the MSM's slobbery version of pathetic third-worlders in crisis or the actual story
of a nation that's being invaded, the border continues to be an issue.
Biden's
Spreading Illegal Immigration Crisis. President Biden created the border
crisis. The president and his incompetent Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N.
Mayorkas, have utterly failed to carry out the executive branch's constitutional responsibility to
faithfully execute the immigration laws. In addition to not securing the border adequately in
the first place, the Biden administration has made catch and release its standard policy.
Prodded by the expiration of the Title 42 health emergency expulsion order, the administration
scrambled to implement carrot and stick measures intended to redirect immigrants seeking to enter
the country to do so through legally permissible channels. The hodgepodge of measures
includes an app allowing migrants to make appointments beforehand for entry into the United States
at a U.S. port of entry to apply for asylum. The app does not work consistently, and Mexican
cartel smugglers have already hacked it. Many migrants have simply bypassed using the app
altogether and have entered the country illegally without an appointment.
SUNY
Buffalo booting migrants from dorms over student safety concerns, critic rips move as
prejudiced. SUNY Buffalo State University is evicting 44 migrants from its dorms
after parents raised concerns over student safety — but an asylum-seeker advocate claims
the move smacks of prejudice. Officials at the state university abruptly canceled an
agreement with a local community group that placed dozens of migrants at the upstate school in
May — citing parental worries in the wake of separate sex-assault charges against two
migrants bused north from New York City, Buffalo News reported. "As we are welcoming our
students back to campus Tuesday, we wanted to ensure the best possible learning environment for our
students and smooth functioning of our university operations," interim school President Bonia
Durand said in a statement, according to the outlet.
Biden
Tries to Sink Gov. Abbott's Border Buoys. The Biden Administration is taking
steps to undermine Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's (R-TX) actions to keep illegal aliens out of the
U.S. The state's top land official called out the Biden Administration's proposed federal
protection for two Rio Grande mussel species as a "political" game to stop Abbott from deploying
his buoys in the U.S.-Mexico water border. "Unfortunately, the Biden administration is
turning the Endangered Species Act into a political tool to push an agenda rather than ensuring
true conservation efforts are implemented," Texas General Land Office Commissioner Dawn Buckingham
said in a statement. "This administration is proposing to roll back reasonable improvements made to
this law and are simply ignoring the successful accomplishments of private preservationists, state,
and local land managers by adding more federal red tape regulations."
Hundreds
Of New Yorkers Protest 'Tent City' For 1,000 Illegal Immigrant Men Opening Near Elementary
School. Hundreds of New York City residents gathered in Queens on Wednesday to
protest the opening of a shelter that is expected to house around 1,000 illegal immigrant men near
an elementary school and senior center. The protesters held up signs and chanted "no tent
city," opposing the move by state officials to house illegal immigrants in the new shelter as
hotels and homeless shelters in the Big Apple are overrun with thousands of people who illegally
entered the country and were bused to New York. The tent city, approved by state leaders,
opened Tuesday after being set up in 10 days in the parking lot of a psychiatric facility in
Queens, Fox 5 reported. Multiple people were arrested during the protest, including former
GOP mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa, who allegedly refused police orders to get out of the street
where he and others were blocking traffic, according to The New York Post.
DHS
Mayorkas: Cubans 'Deserve the Right' to Migrate to U.S.. President Joe Biden's
Cuban-born border chief is accelerating his transfer of poor Cuban migrants into Americans' society
and the U.S. economy. "Cubans, like my own family, who nearly 63 years ago fled the communist
takeover, deserve the same opportunity to follow legal pathways to build a new life in the United
States," said a statement from border chief Alejandro Mayorkas. The statement announced the
opening of a "Field Office" in Havana to help migrants get into the United States via chain migration
paperwork, family reunification claims, refugee status, and supposedly "lawful ... pathways."

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

Shows Heaps of Trash, Pills Strewn Across Southern Border by Migrants. Heaps of
trash, clothing, and items such as birth control pills are scattered across the southern border,
John Rourke of Blue Line Moving discovered as he went to the Southern border ahead of his annual
cleanup, documenting his findings along the way. Rourke, owner of Blue Line Moving,
previously spoke to Breitbart News at the Turning Point Action summit in July, detailing his annual
border cleanup, as he heads to the southern border every year on September 11 to clean up trash.
"So I have the great American cleanup where I go to border towns, and I pick up trash on every
9/11. And we raise money and donate it to the sheriff's department for the town in which I clean
up," he said, describing his findings as "life-changing." "There's clothes everywhere, there's trash
everywhere. There's wild animals, dogs that are left behind when they cross the border. All
the border towns have wild dogs all over the place. It's really an emergency, and I felt like I
could help out. I want to continue to serve. So that's what I do. I go on every
9/11. And I pick up trash for three days," he said, describing what he finds during these cleanups.
Get a clue. The reason you've got a problem is because of "federal action."
Massachusetts
gov declares state of emergency due to surge of migrants, calls for federal action.
Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey on Tuesday declared a state of emergency in the liberal state
over a surge of migrants that she says has left social services overwhelmed, and she called for
more funding and help from the federal government. Healey, a Democrat, announced that a state
of emergency exists "due to rapid and unabating increases in the number of families with children
and pregnant people — many of them newly arriving migrants and refugees —
living within the state but without the means to secure safe shelter in our communities." The
state said there are nearly 5,600 families or more than 20,000 people in the state shelter system.
Healey said there are numerous contributing factors, including "federal policies on immigration and
work authorization" as well as a lack of affordable housing and the end of COVID-era programs.
Joe
Biden increased pathways for migrants into the U.S. — and created a new border
surge. Once upon a time, New York City's top urban planning strongman, Robert Moses,
built highways and bridges across and into New York City, aiming to stop traffic congestion.
Moses is why New York City has the Triborough Bridge, the Brooklyn-Battery Link, Interstate 278,
the Cross Bronx Expressway, and many other passageways. He built them all, and then he built
some more. And as every journalism student, having read Robert Caro's The Power Broker, would
know, Moses was astonished. Instead of less traffic coming into Manhattan from the outer
boroughs and beyond — there was more. Manhattan became more traffic-congested than
ever as a result, and lots of neighborhoods were ruined, too, divided and corrupted by the roaring
overhead highways. This curiously corresponds exactly to what we are seeing at the border
right now — a new migrant surge, coming in the wake of Joe Biden's expansion of what he
claims are new, expanded, legal pathways for illegal immigrants to get into the country solely on
their claims to asylum.
Biden
admin. removing 1,100 troops from US-Mexico border, official says. The Pentagon is
removing 1,100 active duty military troops from the southern border after deploying additional
troops earlier this year in preparation for the end of Title 42 restrictions. According to
The Associated Press, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin approved the military to deploy 1,500 active
duty members to the southern border in May for a 90-day period in response to the migration surge
that accompanied the end of Title 42 asylum prohibitions. The 90-day mission will conclude on
Aug. 8 for 1,100 active duty troops on the southern border, while 400 remaining troops will stay
at the border until the end of August, according to an anonymous defense official.
Open
Borders Creating Bidenvilles of Homelessness. Who Saw That Coming? A year ago,
I wrote about the obvious connection between illegal immigration and homelessness in U.S.
cities. Since then, encounters with inadmissible aliens at the border have remained at more
than 150,000 a month, often over 200,000. Of these, perhaps half are being released into the
country, either under the charade of a "removal process" under U.S. immigration law or one of
President Joe Biden's many made-up parole-a-palooza programs. [...] New York's dense population and
high rents make it harder to hide the homeless than in cities more spread out. With his
city's shelters full, Adams has rented hundreds of hotels and opened dozens of emergency
facilities, from churches to parking lots, to house supposed asylum-seekers. He's even tried
to pay private homeowners to put them up. It'll never be enough, as he now seems to understand.
Illinois
Gov. J.B. Pritzker Signs Law Allowing DACA Illegal Aliens to Police Americans.
Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) has signed into law a plan that allows foreign nationals with
work permits, some of whom are illegal aliens, to become police officers in the sanctuary
state. Democrat legislators, with a supermajority in the Illinois House and Senate, passed
legislation in June that opens law enforcement jobs to thousands of illegal aliens enrolled in the
Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program as well as thousands of other foreign
nationals with work permits from the federal government.
Illegal
Aliens with Work Authorization Now Permitted to Become Police Officers in Illinois.
It may be entirely possible in Illinois now for a police officer to demand to see your papers for
identity compliance even though that police officer may be an illegal alien who broke U.S. law to
enter the United States. Under a bill recently signed by Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker,
illegal aliens can now become police officers. The downstream ramifications of this effort
are not difficult to imagine. As if the crisis of confidence in the U.S. legal and law
enforcement system was not under enough pressure, the reality of lawbreaking foreign nationals and
border crossers now controlling law enforcement is a rather remarkable escalation in social fracture.
Mayor
Eric Adams Awards Millions to Medical Company to Bus Border Crossers Out of NYC. New
York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) has reportedly thrown hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars at a
medical company, tasked previously with testing for COVID-19, to bus border crossers and illegal
aliens out of the sanctuary city. Since the spring of last year, more than 90,000 border
crossers and illegal aliens have arrived in New York City. Adams has long criticized Texas
Gov. Greg Abbott (R) for busing migrants to the sanctuary city, but recent reports reveal he
has started a nearly identical busing program.
It
would have been better if they had stayed in Mexico. Upon taking office, the Biden
administration killed the "stay in Mexico" policy. They claimed that their approach was more
humanitarian but were never forced to explain from "the basement" what that actually meant.
Two years later, we know that it meant opening the border and handing people a court date and hope
that they show up for the hearing. Yesterday, a judge halted another of the Biden
administration's ideas.
Texas
Has Seized More Than 422 Million Lethal Doses of Fentanyl Since 2021, Governor Says.
Texas officials have seized more than 422 million lethal doses of fentanyl since the launch of the
state's Operation Lone Star program in March 2021, governor Greg Abbott announced on Friday.
"Operation Lone Star continues to fill the dangerous gaps created by the Biden Administration's
refusal to secure the border," Abbott's office said. "Every individual who is apprehended or
arrested and every ounce of drugs seized would have otherwise made their way into communities
across Texas and the nation due to President Joe Biden's open border policies." Abbott said
in a statement that the program has also led to 394,200 illegal-immigrant apprehensions and 31,300
criminal arrests.
Sanctuary
State California Gov. Gavin Newsom to Spend $4.5M on Lawyers for Illegal Aliens.
The sanctuary state of California will soon spend $4.5 million on providing free lawyers to illegal
aliens working on farms thanks to a plan by Gov. Gavin Newsom (D). Newsom announced the
pilot program this week, which will see $4.5 million in state taxpayer money shifted to lawyers who
are helping illegal alien farmworkers involved in labor investigations. "This new program
includes case review services, legal advice, and representation by an attorney — all at
no cost to farmworkers seeking assistance," a press release states of the pilot program.
Fifth
bus of illegal aliens arrives in Los Angeles from Texas. Two more migrant buses
arrived in Los Angeles Saturday from Texas. Governor Abbott seems to be accelerating the free
transportation provided to illegal aliens detained in Texas to sanctuary cities across the
country. Los Angeles is the focus now. Previous bus trips transporting illegal aliens
to other cities include Washington, D.C., New York City, Chicago, Philadelphia, and Denver.
Governor Abbott said he will not quit offering them a free ride to cities outside of Texas as long
as the southern border is porous and not being secured by the federal government. The buses
transfer small groups of people so the sanctuary cities are not overwhelmed like Texas border
communities are. On Saturday, two buses arrived at Union Station with 48 migrants
aboard. That number includes 18 minors.
41
Percent Of Illegal Immigrant Group Biden Admin Released Into US Never Showed Up For Court
Dates. The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE) has yet to issue
court summons for about 82 percent of the illegal immigrants it allowed into the United States
after a federal court ordered a halt on a Biden administration immigration parole program. In
May, Judge T. Kent Wetherell II of Florida's Northern federal court district issued a temporary
restraining order (TRO), blocking the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) from releasing
noncitizens into the United States through the Biden administration's "Parole with Conditions"
(PWC) policy. The PWC policy allowed for illegal immigrants to be paroled into the United
States under the expectation that they'd check in with ICE within 60 days and receive a Notice to
Appear (NTA), which would initiate court proceedings for them to be removed from the United States.
NYC
Posts Fliers at Southern Border Discouraging Illegal Immigrants from Coming to City.
New York City has begun distributing English and Spanish fliers at the southern border warning
asylum seekers that there is "there is no guarantee we will be able to provide shelter and services
to new arrivals." NYC Mayor Eric Adams explained the policy on Wednesday by noting simply that
"We have no more room in the city." Roughly 55,000 migrants are currently under the City's
care. Add the homeless population, and the total number of people currently sheltered in city
jumps past 105,000. Adams also announced policy changes designed to make space for families
with children in NYC housing. The city will now require single adult migrants to reapply for
housing after 60 days.
First of all, they aren't "asylum seekers," they're welfare seekers.
Mayor
Eric Adams says New York City no longer has room to shelter asylum seekers. There are
new developments in New York City's struggle to house recently arrived asylum seekers. Mayor
Eric Adams said Wednesday the city has been carrying the weight of the nation's crisis and now
there is no longer space for new people coming in, citing the absence of state or federal
aid. He said he has put a plan in place that will begin in the next couple of days to help
move current migrants out of shelters to make space for families arriving with children.
Really? How many have been invited to live in the Governor's house?
Massachusetts
Calls on Residents to Take Border Crossers into Their Homes. Massachusetts officials
are now asking residents to take border crossers and illegal aliens into their homes as illegal
immigration continues adding to the state's homeless population. Gov. Maura Healey (D)
is calling on residents with empty bedrooms in their homes and apartments to consider taking in
border crossers and illegal aliens, WBUR reports: [...] Healey's wanting to house border crossers
and illegal aliens in residents' private homes comes as the state is paying for nearly 40 hotels
and motels across the state to house new arrivals — at taxpayers' expense. As
Boston Herald columnist Howie Carr noted, Healey has not sent border crossers and illegal
aliens to nearly any of the "millionaire destinations" in Massachusetts — like
Nantucket, Martha's Vineyard, Cambridge, or Newburyport.
Key
findings about U.S. immigrants. The U.S. foreign-born population reached a record
44.8 million in 2018. Since 1965, when U.S. immigration laws replaced a national quota
system, the number of immigrants living in the U.S. has more than quadrupled. Immigrants
today account for 13.7% of the U.S. population, nearly triple the share (4.8%) in 1970.
The
bizarre daily struggle between Texas DPS and Border Patrol pits agencies against each
other. There is a daily struggle going on along the Rio Grande River but it may not
be the one you are thinking about. It's not the usual struggle between Border Patrol agents
and migrants crossing the border illegally. It a battle between the Texas Department of
Public Safety (DPS) and Border Patrol. Illegal immigration is a federal responsibility.
However, we know that Joe Biden and DHS Secretary Mayorkas have created a border crisis that this
country has never seen before, thanks to the administration's neglect. Millions of illegal
aliens are living in the United States now that were not before Joe Biden was inaugurated.
Border states have been left to fend for themselves. Biden refuses to close the border so it
is up to border states to manage the crisis. Texas taxpayers, for example, are on the hook to
the tune of several billion dollars to provide the migrants with the services they need and for the
state to secure the border. Those services include shelter, food, medical care, and school
for children.
French
riots show the future of Joe Biden's America. Over the past few weeks, France has
been engulfed in riots after a 17-year-old boy was shot and killed by a police officer during a
traffic stop. The rioting and looting have largely been centered in communities with many
migrants from North African and Islamic nations. The rioting has caused more than one billion
dollars in property damage, and has led to thousands of arrests. It has also led to a renewed
debate in Europe about the costs of mass migration and whether or not those costs are worth
it. It's not just the U.S. that has experienced an influx of foreign nationals in recent
years. France took in a record number of migrants in 2022, both legal and illegal. [...] The
crassness of these migrants certainly isn't representative of everybody seeking to come from the
third world to prosperous western nations, but it is indicative of a larger problem with mass
immigration. Many of these foreign nationals come from countries where violence and chaos has
been normalized, and the importation of migrants from these types of countries can also serve to
normalize the same type of disorder in their new countries.
Democrats
in Massachusetts Look to Give Voting Rights to Foreign Nationals. Democrat legislators
in Massachusetts are looking to give foreign nationals on green cards the right to vote in municipal
elections. A series of bills filed by Democrat legislators in the Massachusetts House and Senate
would open municipal voting rights to foreign nationals living in the state on green cards. In
practice, the policy would mean foreign nationals could cast deciding votes in Massachusetts towns
and cities for mayor, school committee, city council, town council, board of selectmen, select board
elections, school committee referendums, local ballot referendums, or other municipal races.
The Editor says...
In a few years, when everybody has accepted this terrible idea, there will be a tiny little incremental
change to allow illegal aliens to vote in every election. By the time the Supreme Court hears
about it, the damage will have been done already.
DHS
Chief Mayorkas Ignores Request to Disclose How Many Illegals Have Been Freed into
U.S.. President Joe Biden's Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary,
Alejandro Mayorkas, is ignoring a request from Republicans on the House Oversight Committee to
disclose the number of illegal aliens the agency has released directly into American communities
through its massive parole pipeline. As Breitbart News reported, late last month, Republicans
on the House Oversight Committee, led by Reps. James Comer (R-KY) and Glenn Grothman (R-WI),
asked Mayorkas to provide a total numerical accounting of illegal aliens DHS has released into the
United States interior through the administration's expansive parole pipeline.
Liberals'
'Solutions' for Illegal Immigration [and] Shoplifting Only Make Matters Worse. The
Biden administration wants increased and easier immigration. While most Americans support
reasonable legal immigration, they reject unlimited numbers via open borders. Last year, a
majority of Americans polled thought there was an "invasion" on the border. U.S. immigration
process was built in layers of law over decades. Reforming it is hard. Reaching
consensus is rare. Neither those favoring restriction nor those favoring expansion are ever
satisfied. Past presidential administrations did the best they could, mostly enforcing the
law, but occasionally inventing legally dubious programs like family-reunification parole for
Cubans (2007) and Haitians (2014) or Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (2012). But for
President Joe Biden, restraint is a dirty word. Not content merely to release inadmissible
border crossers pending far-off court dates, the administration has ignored the law and invented an
entire parallel migration system, a sort of Upside Down of what they call "lawful pathways" to let
people in on parole.
House
Republicans Call for Defunding Mayorkas's Salary Over Border Crisis. House
Republicans are contemplating legislation that would eliminate Homeland Security Secretary
Alejandro Mayorkas's salary in response to mistrust over the failure to enforce the U.S. southern
border. Republican legislators are now insisting that Mr. Mayorkas's salary be part of
the impending government funding dispute. Among those Republicans is Rep. Nancy Mace
(R-S.C.), who said in a July 11 statement, confirmed by her office to The Epoch Times, that the
House's majority party was ready for Biden administration cabinet members to "do their jobs."
"People are sick of inaction against elected officials who betray their oath and refuse to do their
jobs. Congress is given the power of the purse by the Constitution, and if the president's
Cabinet secretaries won't do their jobs, we should consider using any tool, including the Holman
Rule, to defund them and their ability to do further damage," Ms. Mace said.
Illegal
Immigration and Western Spiritual Sickness. The usual suspects have weighed in on
recent belated efforts to enforce U.S. immigration laws. Our now bankrupt media, the corrupt
government of Mexico, and the Diversity/Equity/Inclusion apparat have damned a series of laws
recently passed by the Florida legislature and signed by Governor Ron DeSantis that enforce
existing federal immigration laws. Such critics seem oblivious to the current violence that
is paralyzing Europe in general, and in particular France — as if such European chaos
offers no lessons for the U.S. or any other salad-bowl, open-borders Western nation. Florida
decided no longer to provide de facto and illegal exemptions to foreign nationals who entered and
now reside in the state illegally. [...] No one is now arguing that Florida is breaking any laws by
enforcing them. Again, the outrage is instead over the state's legal adherence to the
law. No one privately believes the illegal aliens affected by the new enforcement are
euphemistically merely "undocumented migrants." In truth, illegal aliens never sought nor
possessed nor intended to possess immigration "documents" in the first place, although millions of
would-be law-abiding immigrants easily do just that. Instead, they have shown contempt for U.S.
laws and those who made and enforced them. So "illegal alien" is precisely the correct term.
Who
is paying for all these illegal aliens? Entering the USA improperly is a crime.
The first illegal entry is a misdemeanor; any subsequent entry is a felony. Every illegal
alien becomes a criminal simply by entering the country. The ideological left is crowing that
the administration scored a "victory" in United States v. Texas. On June 23,
the Supreme Court stated that the administration can set priorities when deciding which illegal
aliens to prosecute. But the Court also issued an opinion in United States
v. Hansen. That is a more interesting opinion — not that this
administration has any intention of abiding by it. Side note: Before anyone objects to
the term "alien," that is the word Congress uses in the Immigration and Nationality
Act — officially Title 8, Aliens and Nationality, of the U.S. Code. The
word "alien" appears in Title 8 more than a thousand times; the phrase "illegal alien"
32 times. When Congress changes its terminology, I will consider changing mine.
Why
Are Georgia Republican Legislators Proposing In-State Tuition For Illegal Aliens?
This week Breitbart reported on the group of four Georgia Republican House members who, along with
two democrats Tran (D) and Marin (D), are pushing HB 131. The bill is positioned as a
"Workforce" bill, which sounds like a nice thing. However opponents ask why, with limited
space in college classes, we would consider making it more difficult and perhaps more expensive for
a U.S. citizen to attend these Colleges, while incenting non-U.S. citizens to take the seats at
potentially lower cost. Another factor would be the additional illegal aliens such a move
could draw into Georgia to take advantage of such a law.
Biden
administration increases the number of migrants allowed into the U.S. to claim asylum each day
using CBP One mobile app. US Customs and Border Protection is again expanding the
number of migrants it allows into the US at the Mexico border via its CBP One mobile app. The
federal agency said it will now allow 1,450 migrants to book appointments each day via the app,
which enables migrants to register asylum claims and enter the US. Asylum seekers that show
up at the border without having secured an appointment are subject to a 'common-sense condition'
and will likely will be turned away.
The Editor says...
Nonsense. How many illegal aliens are "turned away" at the border? I'm guessing the number is somewhere near zero.
Analysis:
Biden's 'Got-Away Tsunami' Imports Illegal Alien Population the Size of Philadelphia.
In less than three years, President Joe Biden's "got-away tsunami" has imported an illegal alien
population the size of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, a new analysis detailed. From Fiscal Year
2021 to April 2023, less than three full fiscal years, Biden's policies at the United States-Mexico
border have allowed more than 1.5 million illegal aliens to successfully cross into the nation's
interior undeterred by federal officials. The massive "got-away tsunami," as detailed by
Andrew Arthur of the Center for Immigration Studies, is triple the got-away inflow that occurred
under former President Trump from Fiscal Year 2017 to Fiscal Year 2020 when there were about
521,000 illegal alien got-aways.

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.

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[.]

cultural warfare), etc. A key front that is frequently overlooked — and
downplayed — by the Biden administration is the flood of China-sourced fentanyl and
other opiates into the US.
What
the Left Has Left for America. The southern border is a mere construct created by
fascists to exclude the Other. Its removal fast tracks a new demography, dependent on leftist
largess and eager to reciprocate with loyalty at the polls. The triumphalism of the slogans
touting a "New Democratic Majority" and "Demography is Destiny" sanctifies the reality that
citizenship is defunct and mere residency has replaced it with all its former rights, but none of
its erstwhile responsibilities.
The
Cartels are allied with Corporate Fascists, Greens, the Hard Left and the CCP. The
city of Vancouver was built by serious Christians, who believed in, as first principle, service to
others. They built the city to take in the dispossessed, to lift up humanity, to spread
peace. [...] It is now a cesspit of crime, drugs, human trafficking, child sex and money
laundering. We launder most of the drug money in North America. The city has been taken
over by a consortium of cartels, Asian and Mexican, who own through their funding of a
proliferation of social justice activist groups, members of the city council, the judiciary, as
well as members of the provincial and federal government, particularly those in immigration who
rubber stamp the papers of the worst criminals from across the Asian world. They are all here
now. The pickings are just too good. You are next on their list.
No,
the border crisis hasn't abated. Following the end of Title 42 last month, the
predicted increase in illegal border crossings from their already ridiculous levels never fully
materialized. And for a time, there was even a dip in the numbers. This left the
administration "crowing" over the reports. The administration's plan was "working as
intended," we were told. It was a "major victory" for the White House in the face of MAGA
"misinformation" about how bad things were on the southern border. And most of the legacy
media ate up these tales. But a closer look at the actual data tells a very different story.
Nearly
17 Million Illegal Aliens in the United States Cost Americans $163 Billion Annually. The
nation's illegal alien population has hit nearly 17 million, an increase of more than two million
since President Joe Biden began implementing his Catch and Release network at the United States-Mexico
border, an analysis reveals. The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) released its
annual report estimating the size of the illegal alien population residing in the United States.
Supreme
Court Strikes Down Texas' Challenge to Biden Border Policy. The Supreme Court Friday
struck down Texas and Louisiana's legal challenge to new Biden administration border policies that
violate federal statutes and harm citizens in Texas and Louisiana, the states argued. All
justices besides Samuel Alito concurred in the opinion that Texas and Louisiana lack standing to
challenge the new rules, which the Department of Homeland Security promulgated in 2021. Texas
and Louisiana argued that federal law requires law enforcement to arrest certain noncitizens upon
their release from prison or entry of a final order of removal, but the new DHS rule only
prioritizes the arrest and removal of noncitizens who are suspected terrorists or dangerous
criminals who unlawfully entered the country recently. The states claimed that these rules
harmed them by imposing extra costs by requiring them to continue to incarcerate or supply social
services — such as health care and education — to noncitizens.
Supreme
Court allows Biden administration to limit immigration arrests, ruling against states. The
Supreme Court on Friday cleared the way for the Biden administration to reinstate rules that instruct
Immigration and Customs Enforcement to focus its deportation efforts in the U.S. interior on immigrants
with serious criminal convictions and those deemed to threaten national security. The court found
that Texas and Louisiana, the two states that challenged the administration's guidelines, lacked standing
to bring the suit, formally known as United States v. Texas. The ruling was 8-1, with only
Justice Samuel Alito dissenting. Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote the opinion for the majority, joined
by Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson.
Justices Neil Gorsuch, Clarence Thomas and Amy Coney Barrett concurred in the judgment, with Gorsuch and
Barrett contributing opinions of their own.
The
U.S. Transitions from Superpower to Migrant Colony. While Joe Biden and his team of
anti-borders radicals have been busy turning our country into a make-a-wish charity for the rest of
the world's population, it seems little, if any, thought was given to where all these newcomers
would reside. Most of our larger cities, which illegal aliens tend to live in or near, appear
beyond capacity due to the White House-engineered border stampede. As even the most
doctrinaire sanctuary mayors are now waving surrender flags, an alternative plan has become
necessary. The solution? Third World-style shanty towns in places like rural Liberty
County near Houston. Already home to more than 75,000 migrants, a community called "Colony
Ridge" is undergoing a massive expansion with huge tracts of land being clear-cut to create more
living space. Apparently it's not considered ecosystem-killing deforestation if it's done to
deposit more illegal aliens into America.
It's also known as "bluffing."
Eric
Adams Says Offer To House Migrants In Gracie Mansion Was Just Symbolic. Democratic
New York City Mayor Eric Adams backtracked on his vow to house migrants in Gracie Mansion on
Thursday, saying that the "symbolism" of his offer spoke volumes. Adams said earlier in June
that he'd welcome migrants into the five-room Gracie Mansion if city lawyers approved it, but
backtracked Thursday during a press conference with reporters. "Leading the challenge of the
migrant problem is both substantive and symbolic and as I always said, 'Good generals lead from the
front,'" Adams said, according to the New York Post. "They don't send their troops into battle
and ask, 'How was the war?' They lead them into battle. The symbolism of saying, 'I'm
willing to put a homeless family in Gracie' is that symbolism."
Trump's
Indictment and the Collapse of Confidence in Our Institutions. While Kamala Harris
fumbles her fruitless search for the "root causes" of migration, her administration has erected a
big flashing sign essentially reading, "Welcome, Neighbor. Come on in. We're not really
trying to keep you out." They mouth the words "don't come," but inaction speaks louder than
words. And come they have, individuals from poor countries looking to move up to the First
World. Yet the welcome sign is equally attractive to organized criminal gangs looking to tap
the market for fentanyl and heroin, child labor, and sex workers. When these illegal
immigrants arrive, millions have been released, willy-nilly, into America and told to return in a
few years for a court date. Their claims for political asylum will be heard at that distant
date and almost always rejected. But why bother to return for the court date at all?
You aren't likely to be caught and, even if you are, you can simply cross the border again.
After
the surge, ready for the shantytowns? Some five million foreign nationals have been
let into the U.S. based on Joe Biden's open border policies. They have to live
somewhere. Many, and perhaps most, do not have U.S. sponsors. There's no plan of action
for what to do about five million migrants from the Biden administration other than to let them
stay. New York City, where some 60,000 have arrived, is stretched the the breaking point with
the caring and feeding of that many newcomers. At some point, there is no place to put
them. Housing on their own economic muscle is generally out of the question —
because it's the same for ordinary Americans. But they still have to live somewhere.
And now suddenly, we're seeing where — in the emergence of shantytowns now beginning to
ring America's major cities such as Houston, making them resemble Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo, Mexico
City, Caracas, Medellin, Lima, Quito, San Pedro Sula, and other places — all of which
have nice ritzy centers, housing for the rich and upper middle classes, and endless rings of
shantytowns in the hillsides and valleys outside these big cities where the desperately poor live
in tin-roof hovels, some precariously positioned on cliffs, with no flush toilets, no running
water, no paved roads, no electricity or only pilfered electricity from power lines to power the
television sets and sometimes refrigerators inside.
Why
Legal Immigration Is Nearly Impossible. America traditionally had few immigration
restrictions, but since the 1920s, the law has banned most aspiring immigrants. Today, fewer
than 1 percent of people who want to move permanently to the United States can do so legally.
Immigrants cannot simply get an exception to immigrate any more than restaurateurs in the 1920s
could simply get an exception to sell alcohol. Instead, just as Prohibition granted only a
few exemptions for religious, industrial, or medical uses of alcohol, people seeking an exception
to immigration prohibition must also fit into preexisting carve-outs for a select few.
FEMA
to Give $363.8 Million to Non-Federal Entities to Provide Shelter for Illegal Aliens.
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), under the guise of humanitarian concern, has enacted
the "Shelter and Services Program," funneling $363.8 million of taxpayers' money in the fiscal year
2023 to non-federal entities, claiming to support the U.S. Customs and Border Protection in the
"safe, orderly, and humane release" of illegal immigrants.
New
York lawmakers rebuke Biden, FAA for agreeing to house migrants at JFK building.
Several members of New York's Republican congressional delegation on Wednesday [6/7/2023] signed
onto a scathing letter sent to the heads of the Federal Aviation Administration and the Port
Authority of New York and New Jersey condemning the decision to house migrants at John F.
Kennedy International Airport. The letter, authored by Rep. Anthony D'Esposito and
co-signed by Reps. Elise Stefanik, Nick Langworthy, Marc Molinaro, Claudia Tenney, Nick
LaLota, Andrew Garbarino, Brandon Williams and Mike Lawler, denounces the move to open an emergency
shelter for arriving migrants in an old postal warehouse at JFK. "The recent decision by the
FAA and Port Authority of New York and New Jersey to house illegal migrants at JFK Airport poses
both a security threat to one of America's largest transportation hubs and represents the palpable
failure of the Biden Administration's disastrous border policies," D'Esposito told The [New York]
Post in a statement on Wednesday.
The Editor says...
There are multiple reasons to oppose this idea, including these: [#1] Most of the people
being sheltered and fed are here illegally and should be deported. They are non-citizens living
here at the expense of the citizens. [#2] Even the federal government will run out of
spare buildings before the supply of illegal aliens is exhausted. [#3] The government is
not really providing "housing" for these inconvenient visitors. The "old postal warehouse" was
not designed to be a dormitory, and doesn't have enough cooking and sanitation facilities for hundreds
of residents.
Migrants
exploit loophole in border app to enter US without asylum appointments. Migrants have
already found a loophole allowing them to hand themseleves over at the border and claim asylum
without making an appointment through the CBP One app — which could effectively open the
floodgates for thousands more to turn up at the southern border. The mobile immigration app
was trumpeted by the Biden Administration as the only legal pathway for asylum-seekers after Title 42
ended in May. It allows 1,000 people a day to cross into the US and claim asylum. After
failing to secure an appointment on his own, Cesar Segura read the application's fine print —
which states if "language barriers, illiteracy or technical issues," stop a person from completing the
process online, they can just show up to a US port of entry in person and request an interview
according to Border Report.
If you're putting them on airplanes, send them to Costa Rica!
Another
Plane Carrying Migrants Arrives in Sacramento. Another plane carrying migrants
arrived in Sacramento on Monday, and California officials believe they came from Florida. The
plane carrying about 20 migrants arrived on Monday in Sacramento after more than a dozen South
American migrants were flown on a charter jet from New Mexico over the weekend. "Documents
carried by the migrants appear to show that the weekend flight was arranged through the Florida
Division of Emergency Management and that it was part of the state's program to relocate migrants,
mostly from Texas, to other states, California Atty. Gen. Rob Bonta said," reported the
Los Angeles Times.
The
Border Crisis Is Overwhelming Schools In Some Of America's Most Populated Cities. The
crisis at the southern border is overwhelming school systems in several metropolitan areas of the
country, according to multiple reports. New York City, Miami-Dade County, Denver and Chicago
school systems have all had to adapt to the influx of migrants, according to reports. Border
Patrol recorded more than 632,000 encounters of migrant families and unaccompanied children in
fiscal year 2022 at the southern border and more than 365,000 in the first seven months of fiscal
year 2023, according to federal data.
The Editor says...
The majority of the new arrivals are here illegally. We have no obligation to admit them to the public schools.
FAA
Greenlights Plan to Allow Illegal Immigrants to Be Housed at JFK Airport. This week,
the Federal Aviation Administration signed off on plans to open an emergency relief shelter for
illegal immigrants in an old postal warehouse at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New
York. According to the New York Post, the FAA signed off on the Port Authority plans to open
the shelter after local and state officials searched the city and surrounding areas for new places
to house illegal immigrants coming from the southern border. According to the outlet, the
area has seen more than 70,000 people arrive from South and Central America. "The Port
Authority of New York and New Jersey asked if an old postal warehouse near JFK Airport could be
used for non-aviation purposes," the FAA said in a statement. "The FAA found that the Port
Authority had adequate security and safety plans in place." [Tweet]
With
Cities Running Out of Room to House Them, Biden Increases the Number of Asylum-seekers Allowed Into
the U.S.. The Biden Administration has made sure there isn't a visible problem with
asylum seekers and illegal aliens at the border. They've invented a way to process
individuals in record time so that up to 1,250 a day can be allowed into the country. It's a
phone app known as CBP One and since it was introduced in January, as many as 120,000 people have
entered the country simply by accessing the app and scheduling an appointment with border patrol to
see if their asylum claim is valid. CBP One allows asylum seekers and illegal aliens to get
around rules that are supposed to allow the CBP to vet the new arrivals to make sure they aren't
criminals or terrorists. Processing 1,250 illegal aliens a day should not be anyone's ideal
of "vetting" anybody.
College
Is Now Free For Illegals In Minnesota. In an unprecedented move, the state of
Minnesota has unveiled its "North Star Promise" program, offering free college tuition to all
residents whose families earn less than $80,000 annually, irrespective of their immigration
status. While some celebrate this as an inclusive initiative, it raises pertinent questions
about the fairness, fiscal responsibility, and potential long-term consequences of such a
policy. The program's eligibility criteria offer another point of contention. To
qualify, students must graduate from a Minnesota high school, live in the state for at least
12 months without being enrolled in college more than half-time, and maintain good academic standing.
The Editor says...
That's how it starts, anyway. Pretty soon, the part about "good academic standing" will
be long forgotten, and the $80,000 annual income ceiling will be raised.
It's
Now or Never. America has its southern border and Canada has its Roxham Road.
The U.S. is suffering far more than this country, but when one considers a proportionate census, we
are doing our best to catch up. The agreement between Joe Biden and Justin Trudeau to stanch
the northern flow of migrants and refugees is, realistically speaking, a mere paper
concession. The real and ongoing intention is clearly to dilute a cohesive citizenry and
render the nation a stranger to itself, easy pickings for subversion. [...] Once the nation is
dispossessed of faith, family and coherent borders, the devastation will be complete.
'We've
Been Abandoned': Border Ranchers Recount Chaos On Southern Border. Wayne King might
have a window into America's future, and he doesn't like what he sees. King, a rancher with
8,000 acres in Texas' Del Rio Border Patrol Sector, believes that Americans, especially those who
live on the border, have been abandoned. It doesn't quite feel like you're in Texas anymore
when you enter King's 8,000 acres. Rather than cows and sheep, the ranch boasts gazelle,
wildebeest, and other exotic African game animals. King, who leads African safari hunting
tours on the ranch, has been forced to spend an increasing amount of time ensuring the wild African
game doesn't escape onto the highway, repairing fencing that's been cut by illegal border crossers
who come through the ranch.
Can
the Consequences of Mass Migration be Reversed? Although voices such as that of the
John Birch Society have long been ringing the alarm bell on the disastrous effects that mass
migration — both legal and illegal — have had on the American polity, for so
long, it was something of a taboo topic even within the Republican Party. Most Republicans
prior to 2016 constantly felt the compulsion to qualify their support for immigration enforcement
with a call for a "compassionate" path to citizenship. Now, the party, and the conservative
movement as a whole, have become much more "hardline" on immigration. Conversations about
crime, drugs, welfare spending, degradation of the quality of our schools and public services, and
demographic changes resulting from unchecked migration are all now issues that we can talk about in
the mainstream without beating around the bush. Although definitive action has not yet
followed, at least the national conversation has shifted in the right direction.
California
Senate Approves $300 Weekly Checks for Unemployed Illegals. The California Senate on
Tuesday voted to pay $300 weekly checks to unemployed illegal immigrants even as the state faces a
roughly $31.5 billion deficit and mass illegal immigration. Democratic state senators
passed Senate Bill 227 by Sen. María Elena Durazo (D.) with a 30-7 vote, sending the
measure to the Assembly for approval. The legislation would offer undocumented aliens up to
20 weeks of unemployment benefits if they meet minimal work requirements. California's
unemployment insurance fund, which was defrauded of some $31 billion during the COVID-19
pandemic, would be in charge of dispensing the checks. California employers are on the hook
for the fund's $20 billion debt in the form of higher payroll taxes that threaten employee-heavy
small businesses and restaurants already devastated by California Democrats' strict COVID-19 lockdowns.
The Editor says...
Illegal aliens should be subject to deportation at any moment, especially if they are unemployed parasites,
and any job they get is a job that a U.S. citizen should have first refused. On the other hand, pending
deportation, no matter what you think of them, they've gotta eat. How much will $300 buy in California?

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

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.

insane'. At least six more Big Apple schools are set to start temporarily housing
migrants in their gyms, prompting all hell to break loose Monday among parents frantic over safety
and potential learning disruptions. "To bus people to our school and expect the community to
absorb them is just insane," fumed Virginia Vu, a PTA member and parent at Brooklyn's MS 577
in Williamsburg — adding some parents have already threatened to at least temporarily
pull their kids out of the sixth-through-eighth grade school. "We care about asylum-seekers,
and we're proud our city is a 'sanctuary city' — but housing asylum seekers on school
grounds is absolutely unacceptable," she said. MS 577 shares a gym with
PS 17 — one of five Brooklyn elementary schools to soon have asylum-seekers living
out of their gymnasiums, too, as New York City struggles to cope with the surging migrant crisis,
sources told The [New York] Post.
The Editor says...
Stop calling them "asylum-seekers" if they're only coming here for a lifetime of welfare benefits,
or if they sneaked into this country illegally, or if they passed through several other relatively friendly
countries en route to the U.S., or if they are military-age men from China. And stop
calling New York City a "sanctuary city" if they're looking for ways to get rid of all the
illegal aliens that are now pouring in.
Court
Backlog Clog: It's the Story of Immigration Now and It's Growing Inexorably Worse.
New migrants pouring into the U.S. after the Biden administration let a COVID-19 restriction called
Title 42 expire last week will not break the nation's stretched court system. The system
is already shattered, according to several former judges, immigration experts, and Department of
Homeland Security data. The average wait time for a "Notice to Appear" before a judge at one
of the nation's 66 immigration courts is now four and a half years. In some cities it is much
longer. In New York City, new migrants do not have to appear in court until 2032. This
growing backlog creates an incentive for more people to cross the border and request asylum as each
new case pushes assigned court dates further into the future. In the meantime, many migrants
are permitted to live and work in the United States. "It's well past broken," said Art Arthur,
a former immigration court judge and now a resident fellow at the conservative Center for
Immigration Studies.
For
Decades, Democrats Have Been Ignoring Evidence And Facts. The Democrat party, led by
Liar in Chief Joe Biden, tells us that the American border is secure while Americans watch
thousands of illegal immigrants stream across the border every single day. Those poor "asylum
seekers" are given phones, have to promise to return to court to adjudicate their
cases — sometimes in 5 or 10 years — and are sent on their merry ways.
Of course, many of those never even bother to show up for court. And hundreds of thousands
more are simply released without even being given a court date. To make things even more
ridiculous, while they're busy gaslighting the entire country, Democrats are shivving their single
most solid constituency. Of course, the border is not a new problem. In 1986, Ronald
Reagan signed the Simpson-Mazzoli Act, which granted asylum to 2.7 million illegal aliens in return
for securing the border. Democrats took the asylum and screwed Reagan and the nation on
securing the border. Since then, no president other than Trump has had any interest in
securing the border, and he was stymied at every single turn by Democrats and leftist judges.
The result is that today there are upwards of 40 million illegal aliens in the country, with
millions more crossing the border every year.
The
Border Wall Is Not Looking Like Such A Bad Idea Now, Eh? Ask any casual political
observer about the recent trend of Republican governors busing illegals to Democrat-run sanctuary
cities and you're likely to get the same answer: It's a "stunt." A Republican might agree
with the policy on its face, but would likely concede it is unlikely to make any real difference on
the border. The number of people sent to big cities like New York, Chicago, and D.C. pales in
comparison to the record-breaking flow arriving at the border each day. [...] It's not just a
busing policy, but a busing crisis worthy of big cities declaring a state of emergency. It is
nothing more than a "cruel stunt" that reveals Republicans' extremism. Both Democrats and
Republicans are wrong however; the strategy is in fact much more than a "stunt." Busing migrants to
major Democratic strongholds has actually achieved a concrete GOP political goal: it has created a
political wedge between major figures in the Democratic party.
Judge
Blocks NYC from Pawning Off Border Crossers on Upstate Suburbs. A New York Supreme
Court judge has blocked New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) from busing any more border crossers and
illegal aliens to Orange County, New York, a decision that comes after a judge blocked the city
from sending new arrivals to Rockland County, New York. On Tuesday, a New York judge granted
Orange County officials' request for a temporary restraining order blocking a plan by Adams to bus
hundreds, potentially thousands, of border crossers and illegal aliens to the county and put them
up in hotels, paid for by New Yorkers. This is the second temporary restraining order that
judges have hit Adams with over his plan to bus migrants to New York's upstate suburbs. Last
week, in Rockland County, a judge blocked migrants from being bused by the city to the area.
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...
All the states that start with "M" appear to be unscathed — so far.
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...
If you can fly all over the world, you're not an economic refugee.
One
Million Illegal Alien Migrants Expected to Swarm the U.S. Southern Border. On or
around May 11th, will the U.S. launch the new spring offensive in Ukraine? Will Fulton County
Georgia release unseal their indictment of Donald Trump? Will Jack Smith release his assault
upon the former president? Will Main Justice finally release, through the USAO in Delaware,
the indictment of Hunter Biden? These are the questions we should ask as approximately
1,000,000 economic migrants are positioned to swarm the U.S. southern border on the same
date. They will need a distraction, a BIG distraction. What we can anticipate is that
on/around May 11th something big will be delivered as part of that distraction. The people in
command and control of the Biden administration will need to coordinate something big to cover for
their May 11th removal of Title 42, the public health authority currently being used to slow
illegal alien migrants from entering the U.S.
The Editor says...
I predict the government will announce that they've found fire ants on Mars, or the International
Space Station will mysteriously explode, or the last remaining chicken farm will go up in smoke (but
nobody will have seen anything suspicious and all the surveillance cameras will have failed).
Look, here comes another Chinese spy balloon! Hey, the GPS stopped working! Maybe that
will be the day VP Harris resigns, or maybe the price of gas will drop like a rock. Whatever
the red herring turns out to be, it will be something that the federal government controls.
Buses
of asylum seekers arrive in NYC, migrants housed at former police academy building.
New York City leaders are calling the influx of migrants a crisis situation. The asylum
seekers that arrived in New York City are being housed at the former police academy, which was once
used as a training facility, for at least a week. Four buses arrived there just after
midnight early Friday, bussing in families, men, and women. A fifth arrived later Friday
morning. Less than a dozen men arrived on the bus from Texas with their paperwork in hand,
ready to call America home.
New
Footage Shows El Paso Engulfed In 'Mass Migration Dumpster Fire'. On Monday
[5/1/2023], White House spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre made an absurd claim: "When it comes to
illegal migration, you've seen it come down by more than 90%" under the Biden administration.
And if that was the case, why did a Democrat mayor of a Texas border town declare a state of
emergency? Well, new footage from border town El Paso, Texas, shows a sobering view of a
worsening migrant crisis that the Biden administration, liberal media, and progressive politicians
have ignored for two years while calling anyone who pointed it out 'racist.' [Tweet]
This should have been done at least three years ago.
Texas
Slows Cross-Border Trucks from Matamoros to a Crawl Amid Immigrant Surge. In a
reprise of a controversial diplomatic pressure tactic against Mexico from last year, Texas Governor
Greg Abbott has ordered tedious truck safety inspections once again that have effectively shut down
a major commercial trucking artery from Mexico, the Center for Immigration Studies has
confirmed. The deployment of Texas Department of Public Safety vehicle safety inspection
officers Tuesday has all but closed the trucking lanes at Veterans International Bridge at Los
Tomates leading from Matamoros into Brownsville. That bridge's two trucking lanes are open
daily from 6 a.m. to midnight. "We're doing 100 percent inspections, which means every
truck will be inspected," Texas DPS spokesman Chris Olivares confirmed to CIS on May 3.
"It's indefinite," Olivares said. "We want to make sure the trucks are safe and they're
following state and federal regulations to make sure they are operating safety on Texas roadways."
Several
Arrested for Helping Illegal Immigrant Murder Suspect Hide. Texas authorities have
arrested several people who may have helped a man suspected of killing five neighbors evade a
manhunt for four days, a local deputy sheriff said on Wednesday, a day after the suspect's
capture. The bloodshed erupted on Friday in Cleveland, Texas, after neighbors asked the
suspect to stop firing his semiautomatic rifle in his yard because it was keeping their baby
awake. Instead, the man reloaded, entered the home of the neighbors and killed five,
including an 8-year-old boy, officials said.
Biden
Orders 1,500 Soldiers to Southern Border ahead of Title 42 Expiration. President Joe
Biden is dispatching 1,500 soldiers to the Southern border to stem the surge of illegal immigrants
that are expected to follow next Thursday's expiration of Title 42, a pandemic-era public-health
measure that allows Border Patrol to immediately expel illegal immigrants. The active-duty
Army units will assist Border Patrol and will be armed, though they will only be permitted to use
their weapons in self-defense. Following a request by the DHS, the Department of Defense
agreed to "provide a temporary increase of an additional 1,500 military personnel, for 90 days, to
supplement CBP efforts at the border," an unnamed US official said in a statement provided to CNN.
DPS
Video Captures Eco Devastation as Thousands of Migrants Cross Border to Texas. A
video shot by the Texas Department of Public Safety shows the ecological disaster created by the
more than 24,000 migrants who crossed the border near Brownsville in just over two weeks. The
video shows the trash and waste left behind by the mostly Venezuelan migrants crossing from
Matamoros, Tamaulipas, to Brownsville. DPS spokesman Lt. Chris Olivarez provided a
video to Breitbart Texas that he shot while walking along the northern bank of the Rio Grande on
Friday. The video captures the images of what is left behind for taxpayers to clean up and remove.
Shut
Down the Border or Shut Down Democrat Cities. The Mayor of New York City can
regularly be heard complaining about the strain placed on his city by the flood of illegal aliens
shipped to the sanctuary city by red state Governors. Now the city of Chicago is joining the
chorus of Democrat-run localities that advocate for open borders that are now choking on their
wish. While it's fun to watch, it is damaging to America. As such, it's time to shut
down the border until those charged with securing it can put a plan in place to actually do just
that. Honestly, the Biden administration had no intention of securing the border.
Flooding the country with illegal aliens straining state and local budgets is part of the
plan — you can't "fundamentally transform" something working, there'd be no point or
appetite for it. Democrats need to overwhelm people and governments, as well as completely
crumble the current system in order to sell people on the idea that something "new" is
needed. Of course, that "new" is the old tropes and policies leftists have been imposing and
failing at for more than a century, but you can't create a hellish Utopia without breaking a few
eggs (or killing 100 million people, as the case may be). That plan to transform the United
States into something it not only has never been, but was expressly never intended to be can only
work if what exists now is destroyed.
El
Paso Has Fallen After Liberal Open Border Policies Have Turned It Into A 3rd World
Country. As the future of Title 42 remains uncertain, many migrants continue living
on the streets of El Paso. The reason a large group of migrants remain on the street is
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...
Does the mayor think New York City is the only place that's being affected? Has he changed
his mind about the wide-open Mexican border? Why is more federal spending the answer
to every problem?
Democrats
love importing people to pick their crops. The Democratic Party appears to be
obsessed with the idea that the best way to ensure that crops are picked by the "right" sort of
people is to import them from somewhere else. For decades they fought to keep slavery a going
concern — Africans, after all, were apparently the right sort of people to pick
cotton. Now, according to Adam Schiff, we have to ensure an open southern border to ensure
that people with a different skin colors remain the primary pickers of crops. Since cotton is
no longer harvested by human hands, we are now talking about fruits and vegetables mainly.
But the principle is the same, apparently. [Tweet]
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.

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.

Don't land in Harlingen! Continue on to Campeche!
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.

into its third year, residents along the southern border are growing increasingly frustrated and,
in some cases, frightened. That's particularly true in Texas, where legislators are clearly
tired of waiting for the White House to fix Joe Biden's disastrous policies and have decided to
take matters into their own hands. The state legislature is reportedly finalizing some new
laws that would empower state law enforcement to take a much more active and aggressive role in
securing the border and ensuring the safety of the Texans living in the affected areas. The
plan will potentially include an entirely new police force dedicated to blocking illegal migrants'
access to the Lone Star State.
Here's another expensive study to state the obvious:
Rice
University Study: Trump Policies Cut Illegal Immigration, Biden Policies Encourage Inflow.
Former President Donald Trump's policies at the United States-Mexico border helped deter illegal immigration,
while President Joe Biden's policies are encouraging record-setting inflows, a new study suggests. The
study, conducted by Rice University's Baker Institute for Public Policy, compares the size and scale of migrant
caravans under Trump versus those that have arrived under the Biden administration. Trump's policies,
which included the Remain in Mexico program, eliminating the Catch and Release process, and imposing the Title 42
public health authority, served as a deterrent for border crossers and illegal aliens, the study found.
I
Went to the Southern Border at 3 A.M. This Is What I Saw. It was 3 a.m. and a line of
about 40 illegal aliens stretched along a section of the border wall waiting to be transported to
the local processing center. Behind the group stood another 50 people who had crossed
the border illegally into Yuma County, Arizona. A large white bus full of illegal aliens had
just departed for the Border Patrol station in Yuma, about 185 miles southwest of Phoenix, and
would return in an hour to take the next 40. "Your country of origin?" I asked, moving down
the line. Peru, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Colombia, Georgia, China, India, and
Cameroon — nine nations were represented in a group of 50 illegal aliens. Border
Patrol confirmed that one of the women in the other line came from Russia. Some smiled as
they shared where they were from while others averted their eyes from the camera, looking down.
DCNF
Reporter Describes How 'Millions' Of Migrants 'Pour Over' The Border Under Biden. A
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...
AMLO is wasting his breath, for indeed, Mexicans — even if they "live and work in the
U.S." — are not supposed to vote in U.S. elections.
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."

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 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."

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?
Some
migrants bused to Canada already heading back to NYC. Blame Canada. Overrun by asylum-seeking
migrants sent to the city from southern border states, New York has been offering free bus tickets to the Canadian
border for migrants wanting to start a new life up north, but some are turning straight back around. Ilze
Thielmann, the director of nonprofit Team TLC — which has been organizing busses to Plattsburgh, where there
is an unofficial crossing to Montreal — said the reality isn't as rosy as people expect. She told CBS:
"They think that there are all these jobs up there. They think they're going to be able to get asylum very easily
up there and that's just not the case." The [New York] Post first reported about the controversial program last
week, with migrants receiving free tickets at the Port Authority bus terminal courtesy of charities funded by taxpayers.
New
York Taxpayers Give $2.1 Billion to Illegal Immigrants with Large Sums Lining Pockets of Landlords. New
York taxpayers spent $2.1 billion on a program to support illegal immigrants, with much of the money going to landlords,
a recent report from the Urban Institute reveals. The Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) explains that the
report from the Urban Institute centered around the Excluded Workers Fund (EWF), which provided funds to illegal
immigrants who had been excluded from unemployment insurance programs due to their illegal status. Much of the
money ended up in the hands of landlords. The EWF had two benefit levels: a one-time payment of $15,600, which CIS
notes was received by 99 percent of beneficiaries, or $3,200 for the other beneficiaries. CIS also clarifies,
"Those with the smaller amounts did not have to meet a different set of requirements; rather, they simply had less
plausible applications."
NYC
and Illegal Aliens Quit on Each Other, City Now Sending Them to Border. Liberals are fond of saying they
are for welcoming illegal aliens and for sanctuary cities. But when those illegal aliens are sent to sanctuary
cities like New York or liberal holiday bastions like Martha's Vineyard, then suddenly you get meltdowns and accusations
that shipping people there is "human trafficking." That's what liberals accused Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis of
when he shipped just fifty people to Martha's Vineyard. NYC Mayor Eric Adams threw fits when he didn't even get
anywhere near the numbers that have been flooding into smaller less equipped border towns in Texas. Now in what
has to be a true exercise in hilarious irony, it looks like both NYC and the migrants have had enough of each other and
NYC is engaging in a little "human trafficking" of its own.

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

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

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

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

For
All Intents and Purposes, America Now Has No Southern Border. [Scroll down] This scenario is played
out over and over in towns along the southern border, as I learned during my recent trip to Del Rio, Eagle Pass, Kinney
County, and San Antonio, Texas. Migrants seeking asylum cross the border, the Border Patrol picks them up.
Agents take the migrants to a processing center where some basic information is taken down. Then they are put on a
bus or an airplane to a city somewhere else in America. Illegal aliens are told to report to a local field office
of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, within 60 days. Some report back, but many do not for fear of
deportation. After spending three days on the southern border talking with local leaders, citizens, and illegal
aliens themselves, I was surprised by how much of a well-oiled machine illegal immigration has become.
Two
dozen states [are] sending National Guard troops to U.S.-Mexico border. "The border is secure" says Vice
President Kamala Harris; yet almost two dozen states are sending up to 2,500 National Guard troops to the U.S.-Mexico
border. The assistance is aimed at helping federal immigration officials handle the border crisis. "Groups
that support tougher immigration restrictions say the deployment of the National Guard troops will help overburdened
federal agencies deal with the surge of illegal immigration", reports the Center Square. The deployments were
requested by the U.S. Department of Defense and Republican-led states like Kentucky, South Carolina and Arkansas, as
well as Democratic-led states such as Rhode Island and Illinois will all be sending assistance. Other states
sending troops include Arizona, Georgia, Indiana, Minnesota, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania and the U.S.
territory of Puerto Rico, DOD officials said.
Washington,
DC, Democrats Approve Plan Allowing Illegal Aliens to Vote. Democrats on the Washington, DC, City Council
have approved a plan that would allow foreign nationals, including illegal aliens, to vote in local elections. On
Tuesday, the D.C. City Council voted 12-1 to advance a bill that will allow foreign nationals, regardless of if they have
visas or are illegally in the United States, to vote in local elections such as school board races and mayoral elections.
Inside
a Texas County That Declared Border Crisis an 'Invasion'. It was 5:15 p.m. on a Monday afternoon and the
13th hour of Sheriff Brad Coe's workday. "Phone call came at 4 a.m. this morning," said Coe, the sheriff of Kinney
County, which borders Mexico. A human smuggler had been caught trying to sneak illegal immigrants across the
border into the U.S. The sheriff counted aloud, recalling the five suspected human smugglers who were caught before
8 a.m. that day, Sept. 26. Between January and June of this year, officials caught a total of 292 suspected human
smugglers in Kinney County, which has a population of about 3,600. Last year, law enforcement in Kinney County caught
169 smuggling suspects. In the first six months of 2022, "we have arrested 1,659 illegal aliens," said Coe, a
Republican who took office in 2017.
Migrants:
A Billion More Are Waiting in the Wings. According to the National Center for Health, the US currently has
a population of about 335 million, with a birth rate that has been consistently below replacement level since 2007. Do
the demographic data indicate that, by 2050, the US will have more than one billion new residents, with a ratio of one
English-speaking American citizen to three or four new non-English-speaking asylum-seekers? If so, to whose
advantage is such a dramatic and disturbing change? The pro-abortion movement apparently believes the world is now
over-populated. Why, then, are they working hard to encourage floods of mostly unskilled migrants to America and
Europe? The US has already reached the goal of population stability. Some European countries now have birth
rates that are far below replacement level. What is to be gained by jacking up the population numbers in countries
where New World Order demographics are already the order of the day?
Democrats:
Importing racism, sexism, and terrorism. Since Biden came into office, there have been 4.5 million
encounters at the southern border. The number of crossers remaining in the United States legally and illegally is
a well-guarded secret. Perhaps it's because Mayorkas and Biden are leveraging the use of temporary parole,
refugee, and temporary protection (TPS) statuses to import "legally" an unlimited number of immigrants with minimal
qualifications and background checks. People from 13 countries can come to the border and qualify for TPS.
This includes people from El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Haiti, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Venezuela, and Yemen.
Many TPS immigrants have lived here for over 10 years. In 2021, more "temporary" immigrants became citizens than
new arrivals. Unaccompanied minors (under 21) are immediately designated as refugees, but not counted as
refugees. Under Biden, over 260,000 unaccompanied minors have been processed, of which 82% were from Central
America. (Between 2014 and 2017, the total was 3,092.) A 2015 study showed that 12% of minors were sponsored by
criminals, including human traffickers. In 2021, 66% of the unaccompanied minors were males, and 72% were 15-17
years old. It's unknown how many will join gangs or work for cartels because post-release follow-up is optional.
El
Paso's 'hypocritical' Democrats are working with the White House to quietly bus thousands of migrants north using
federal money. The Democrat-led border city of El Paso, Texas, has been quietly working with the Biden
administration to spend millions of dollars of federal money busing thousands of migrants to northern sanctuary cities,
including New York and Chicago, DailyMail.com can reveal. While the Republican governors of Texas and Arizona —
Greg Abbott and Doug Ducey — have made headlines sending migrants to liberal northern cities to spotlight the
crisis on the southern frontier, El Paso is doing much the same, just without the fanfare. For some,
El Paso's migrant-busing policy showcases how Democrat-led administrations are downplaying the crisis on America's
border, speedily processing thousands of arrivals each day at a warehouse in the desert and packing them on to buses north.
Record
2.2 Million Migrants Apprehended by Border Patrol in FY22, 604K Got Away. Border Patrol agents apprehended
a record-setting 2.2 million migrants who illegally crossed the southwest border with Mexico, according to a source
within U.S. Customs and Border Protection. In addition, the unofficial year-end numbers show an estimate of nearly
604,000 migrant got-aways. As the record-setting Fiscal Year 2022 came to a close at midnight, a source within
U.S. Customs and Border Protection told Breitbart Texas that agents working the nine southwest border sectors
apprehended more than 2.2 million migrants. This represents an increase of nearly 27 percent over last year's
record of 1.7 million migrant apprehensions.
This
Is Not about the Migrants. Let no one be under any illusions. This is not about the 50 migrants
Governor DeSantis flew to Martha's Vineyard. They could care less about helping the migrants than citizens of the
Vineyard did. This is about Democrats pulling out all the stops to hamstring Governor DeSantis, who they tacitly
know could well be the Republican (and very popular) presidential nominee for 2024. It is he whom Democrats seek to
attack and, most of all, must work to diminish.
This will make it easier to ship them all to Florida en masse.
Mayor
Adams close to deal for Norwegian Cruise ship to house migrants in NYC waters. Mayor Eric Adams is
finalizing a deal with the Norwegian Cruise Line to house migrants on one of its massive cruise ships and dock it at
Staten Island's Homeport, The [New York] Post has learned. Adams wants to lease the luxury liner for at least six
months and use it to house and process migrants before they enter the city's shelter system, a source familiar with the
matter said. The migrants would be allowed to come and go while staying on the ship, the source said.
Preliminary estimates show the plan will be "cheaper" than erecting another tent city similar to the one the city plans
to open in the Bronx at the Orchard Beach parking lot, the source said. The tent city, now under construction, is
expected to cost $15 million a month to operate, The Post exclusively reported last week.
Here are just a few of the
terrible, radical, tyrannical policies Swamp Dems are trying to fund with your money. [Thread reader]
Dems' continuing resolution contains NOTHING to secure our border from cartels, illegal migrants, and lethal fentanyl
flooding in - and would EMPOWER the Biden admin to make the border crisis WORSE: $57.5 billion for [DHS] that, under
the leadership of [Sec. Mayorkas], has:
• Given violent cartels operational control of our border
• Allowed fentanyl to pour into communities
• Undermined our national sovereignty
• Attacked their own employees for doing their jobs
$8.2 billion for [ICE], which:
• Reported a 70% REDUCTION in removals last year
• REFUSES to remove the illegally present individuals the administration does not deem a "threat"
• Abuses parole authority to release illegal migrants
• $4.8 billion to @HHSGov's Office of Refugee Resettlement that has LOST migrant children after releasing them
to sponsors, including DOZENS in the Houston, Texas area alone
• Millions in grants EACH YEAR to hundreds of NGOs that provide "how-to" guidance on reaching our southern border
and effectively SUBSIDIZE illegal migration
Opposing
open borders isn't racist. With the midterms on the horizon and President Joe Biden's dismal approval
numbers causing alarm within the Democratic Party, former President Barack Obama is playing the race card trying to
shift the narrative from Biden's failed leadership to falsely insinuating that Republicans are "racists" for opposing
mass illegal immigration. On Sunday at the L'Attitude conference, an event for Latino business professionals in
San Diego, Obama said, "Right now, the biggest fuel behind the Republican agenda is related to immigration and the fear
that somehow America's character is going to be changed if, people of darker shades, there are too many of them here,"
according to The San Diego Union-Tribune. Huh? Has Obama forgotten that when he and his former Vice
President Joe Biden occupied the White House, their administration deported millions of illegal immigrants, earning him
the moniker "deporter-in-chief"?
Report:
Soros-Linked Group Wins $41M Contract from Biden to Help Illegal Aliens Evade Deportation. A
non-governmental organization (NGO), with financial links to billionaire George Soros, has won a $41 million federal
contract from President Joe Biden's Department of Justice (DOJ) to help illegal aliens evade deportation from the United
States. The Acacia Center for Justice, an NGO with financial ties to the Soros-linked Vera Institute of Justice,
scored a contract from Biden's DOJ to provide "legal services" to border crossers and illegal aliens after they are
released into the U.S. interior in the hopes of staying permanently.
CBP
Document Details Mass Release of Illegal Aliens under Biden. While you must dig to find it, CBP discloses
the number of illegal migrants it has apprehended and released at the Southwest border in FY 2022 on a webpage captioned
"Custody and Transfer Statistics". Well, partially discloses, at least, because while that page reveals that more
than 553,000 aliens apprehended by Border Patrol agents have been released this fiscal year, it doesn't include port
encounters or unaccompanied alien children. That page also indicates that hundreds of thousands of other illegal
migrants were transferred to ICE for detention — and that agency doesn't hold most such "immigration
violators" for long. All told, about 2.2 million aliens have exploited Biden's border policies — thus
far. Under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), DHS is required to detain every illegal entrant, as well as
all other inadmissible aliens stopped at entry and deemed inadmissible.
$20
billion payday: Biden's border surge sends smuggling prices soaring. The migrant smuggling economy at the
U.S.-Mexico border now tops $20 billion and the cartels have made at least $2.6 billion in profit over the past
12 months just from controlling the routes illegal immigrants use, according to a Washington Times analysis. Both
amounts are up substantially from the Trump and Obama years because more people are coming to the border and because
they are paying higher prices. Mexican migrants are paying an average of $8,600 in total smuggling fees this year,
according to The Washington Times' database of smuggling cases. That's up roughly $2,000 from 2019, the last
pre-pandemic year under the Trump administration. Migrants from El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala are paying
about $11,500 for the trip, up from $9,000 in 2020 and $7,900 in 2019, The Times' data shows.
NBC's
Chuck Todd Laughably Insists More Illegal Aliens Will Solve Inflation. [Scroll down] Abbott and
DeSantis have two primary goals, both of which have worked, masterfully. First, to demonstrate to Democrat city
leaders the serious problem created as the influx of illegals continues to decimate border towns. Second, and most
brilliantly, to illustrate the left's complete hypocrisy when illegals show up on their doorstep. Such was
the case when residents of the upscale liberal enclave of Martha's Vineyard became apoplectic when just 50 illegals
showed up on their island, prompting them to ship out the illegals within less than 48 hours. Sorry,
Chuck — try harder, next time.
Biden
Makes Securing U.S. Jobs Easier for Border Crossers, Illegal Aliens. President Joe Biden's administration
is making it easier for border crossers and illegal aliens to secure American jobs after they are released into the
United States interior. In 2019, former President Trump directed the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to stop
fast-tracking work permits for border crossers and illegal aliens who are subsequently released into American
communities. The rule change made sure that border crossers and illegal aliens would need to be in the U.S. for at
least a year before applying for work permits through the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS)
agency. Now, as Reuters reports, Biden is repealing the Trump-era rule change to ensure that hundreds of thousands
of border crossers and illegal aliens his DHS releases every few months into the U.S. interior can now more quickly
secure work permits to take American jobs.
Majority
of Americans Want Abbott to Continue Busing Illegals to Dem-Run Cities. As the Biden administration
continues to ignore their responsibilities of keeping the southern border secure, Republican governors are taking the
issue into their own hands and sending the illegal migrants elsewhere so the Democrats will be forced get a grip on the
crisis. The Texas Politics Project at the University of Texas found that 52% of Texas voters want Gov. Greg
Abbott (D-TX) to continue to bus migrants out of their state. Abbott said that he decided to ship illegal migrants
to cities such as New York City and Washington D.C. because of "President Biden's continued refusal to acknowledge the
crisis caused by his open border policies."
The
Border Crisis Is Just The Tip Of The Iceberg. In Mexico, A Cartel Crisis Looms. This week, U.S.
Customs and Border Protection announced that apprehensions of illegal immigrants surpassed 2.1 million for the fiscal
year in August, with more than 203,000 apprehensions last month alone, marking six straight months of southwest border
arrests exceeding 200,000. Nothing like this has ever happened before. The 2.1 million figure represents an
all-time high, surpassing the previous record of 1.7 million, set in fiscal year 2021. That is to say, every year
President Joe Biden has been in office has been a record-breaking year of illegal immigration. Biden's policies
are directly responsible for the ongoing border crisis, which will continue unabated until those policies change.
Whatever the number ends up being for 2022, the number for 2023 will almost certainly be higher.
Adams asks feds for
$500M over border crisis — in NYC — but won't tell Biden to end surge. Mayor Eric
Adams is desperately seeking at least $500 million in federal funding to deal with the flood of migrants into the Big
Apple — leading bipartisan critics to question why he just doesn't demand that President Biden stop the flow
from Mexico. City Hall privately asked the White House for the emergency cash midway through the summer, saying it
would cover just one year's worth of spending on the migrants who Adams has said are straining the city's shelter system
to its "breaking point," The [New York] Post has learned. More than 13,600 asylum-seeking migrants have arrived in
New York City since the spring, according to the city's latest official estimate. Discussions over the
request — which followed an initial, public appeal by Adams in July — have continued since then
but the Biden administration hasn't given city officials a firm answer, according to multiple sources familiar with the
matter.
Democrat
Gov. J.B. Pritzker Activates National Guard Over 0.01% of Biden's Border Crisis Arriving in Illinois.
Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) is activating the National Guard over 0.01 percent of President Joe Biden's
record-breaking illegal immigration crisis arriving in the sanctuary state via migrant buses sent by Texas Gov. Greg
Abbott (R). For more than two weeks, Abbott has sent about 500 border crossers and illegal aliens to Chicago, Illinois,
which prides itself on being a sanctuary jurisdiction for illegal aliens. The 500 arrivals account for just
0.01 percent of the estimated five million border crossers and illegal aliens who have crossed the southern border
since Biden took office.
Nonprofits
Violate IRS Rules to Wage a Legal War for Illegal Aliens. Three of the migrants who were flown in by
Gov. DeSantis to Martha's Vineyard filed a lawsuit against the Florida governor claiming that they were somehow
lured to the sanctuary island. The lawsuit is completely baseless since the "false promises and false
representations" that the migrants would get "employment, housing, educational opportunities" were actually copied by
Florida from a brochure put out by the Massachusetts Office for Refugees and Immigrants. It's Massachusetts and
the elites of Martha's Vineyard who refused to honor their promises. The lawyers representing the migrants, Yanet
Doe, Pablo Doe, and Jesus Doe, are from the Boston chapter of Lawyers for Civil Rights. The national organization
was created at the behest of JFK and RFK and funded by the Ford Foundation making it an obviously partisan group.
Despite its partisan agenda, it functions as a 501(c)(3). As do many other leftist lawfare groups.
Martha's
Vineyard Residents Wallow in Their Disgusting Hypocrisy. The demonstration was just one of many hard
knocks Vineyard residents have endured since 48 mostly Venezuelan migrants were removed from the "sanctuary" island by
the National Guard last Friday. After receiving basic support, but no invitations to stay on an island where
63 percent of homes are vacant in the offseason, the migrants now reside at Joint Base Cape Cod (JBCC), a military
installation in mainland Massachusetts. Critics have been relentless in calling out Vineyard hypocrisy. As a
"sanctuary" jurisdiction in a self-proclaimed "sanctuary" state, Martha's Vineyard joined other such places, which
promise never to inform on migrants to immigration authorities. Yet it did precisely that the second even a small
number of them appeared in their midst. The Vineyard community allowed the migrants to sleep in a church hall and
gave them basic meals before the military took them away in the presence of cheering crowds of well-off locals who
sincerely believe they did a good and honorable deed. From the moment their "humanitarian crisis" began, Vineyard
residents congratulated themselves and lectured an incredulous world on their monumental virtue and inexhaustible compassion.
Soros-Funded
Group Behind Lawsuit Targeting DeSantis for Flying Illegal Aliens to Martha's Vineyard. A left-wing
non-governmental organization (NGO) partially funded by billionaire George Soros is behind a lawsuit targeting Florida
Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) for flying illegal aliens to the elite coastal island of Martha's Vineyard. Late last
week, DeSantis sent two flights packed with 50 illegal aliens from Venezuela to Martha's Vineyard, where former
President Obama has a sprawling 29-acre summer estate. Despite having the capacity to house six million new
arrivals, the illegal aliens were bused off Martha's Vineyard less than 48 hours later to Joint Base Cape Cod.
A handful of illegal aliens flown to Martha's Vineyard have since filed a class action lawsuit against DeSantis, alleging
their Fourth and Fourteenth Amendment rights were violated.
The Editor says...
Did the authors of the Constitution as written and as amended intend to have constitutional rights extend to illegal aliens?
The border jumpers are present in this country illegally and are presumably subject to deportation at any time. The courts
frequently tell U.S. citizens that they don't have "standing" to sue, so why are illegal aliens in a better position?
Illegal
Aliens, Deported from Martha's Vineyard, Want to Return to 'Beautiful' Island. Illegal aliens who were
deported off Martha's Vineyard less than 48 hours after their arrival now say they would like to return to the
"beautiful" elite island home of the wealthy's summer estates. Late last week, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R)
sent two flights packed with 50 illegal aliens from Venezuela to Martha's Vineyard, where former President Obama has a
sprawling 29-acre summer estate.
Martha's
Meltdown Model. Martha's Vineyard has been all over the news. The tony resort community so loves
aiding and comforting the undocumented immigrants who were flown in from Florida that it hugged them — for
all of 48 hours. Oddly, the Left became unhinged when red-state governors — whose states the last two
years were flooded with some 3 million people who entered the country illegally — finally decided to spread
welcoming chores among affluent blue-state communities. It was a natural fit. Most, like Washington, D.C.,
and New York, were on record as sanctuary city jurisdictions. In the abstract, they endorse open borders and
celebrate diversity — from the serenity of thousands of miles away. The uproar at Martha's Vineyard
prompted the Democratic hierarchy to do some explaining. Why had it not earlier objected to the federal government
night flights of tens of thousands of border-crossers to red-state communities that had opposed illegal immigration?
Bad
news for Dems: The border crisis is the new Roe in Google searches. My, how quickly the plot changes with
just a single flight to Martha's Vineyard! To be fair, the media's interest in the border crisis began spiking
upward before then, but not much before Ron DeSantis sent 50 illegal immigrants to the wealthy Massachusetts
enclave. When buses began arriving in "sanctuary cities" like New York City and Washington DC, thanks to the
efforts of DeSantis, Greg Abbott, and Doug Ducey, the media went into full freak-out mode. They excoriated these
Republican governors endlessly, and still do. And you can guess what that did for public interest in the border
crisis. Axios reports this morning that it has now eclipsed interest in abortion, a topic that mainstream media
spent the summer flogging for the midterms, as well as the Mar-a-Lago kerfuffle.
Biden
Says Deporting Illegal Immigrants to Venezuela, Cuba, Nicaragua Is 'Not Rational'. President Joe Biden
said Tuesday that it's "not rational" to send illegal immigrants at the southern border who fled Venezuela, Cuba, and
Nicaragua, back to their own nations. "There are three countries," Biden said during a Tuesday briefing, upon being
pressed about why the U.S.-Mexico border is "more overwhelmed on [his] watch." "There are fewer and fewer immigrants
coming from Central America than from Mexico. It's a totally different circumstance," he said, referring to the
administration of his predecessor, former President Donald Trump. "What's on my watch now is Venezuela, Cuba, and
Nicaragua, and the ability to send them back to those states is not rational," the president continued, adding that he
is "working with Mexico and other countries" to stop the flow from those nations. U.S. Customs and Border
Protection has documented over 2 million encounters at the southern border so far this fiscal year, compared to
1.7 million encounters in the whole fiscal year of 2021 and less than half a million the previous year.
Border
communities seethe as Democrats seek money for Martha's Vineyard migrants. Martha's Vineyard said it was
stressed when about 50 migrants were flown to the exclusive island enclave this month. In Brooks County, Texas,
Sheriff Urbino "Benny" Martinez had to laugh. His county has already seen that many migrants this year, just
counting dead bodies. Some 78 migrants, all victims of the treacherous journey, have been collected from
ranchlands in the county. That adds to the 119 bodies last year. Each costs money to gather, handle and
autopsy. The sheriff said the county spends hundreds of thousands of dollars to do that work. That's on top
of the more standard costs of smuggling and crime. Smugglers cut ranch fencing, which has to be repaired at $600
for every 100 feet. The sheriff's department has counted 32 stolen vehicles and a handful of stolen firearms it
says are part of the border chaos. Even fuel costs add up as sheriff's deputies are called out for car chases with
smugglers. The brouhaha over busing migrants is vexing officials in small communities along the southern border.
The
Moral Case for Ron DeSantis' 'Migrant Transports'. Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida on Wednesday,
September 14, facilitated two flights of approximately 50 Venezuelan migrants to Martha's Vineyard. This is part
of DeSantis' push to draw attention to the border policies of President Biden. [...] There is a moral upshot to his
actions that few, in their sentimental reaction to the plight of displaced peoples, will bear witness to. And it
is this: the plight in Venezuela is not accidental. It was deliberate, planned and orchestrated by the people
of Venezuela. As several economists and political theorists including James Piereson have pointed out, for the
majority of the twentieth century Venezuela was one of the most prosperous South American countries. It had a very
diversified economy replete with plenty oil reserves that permitted the country to acquire export surpluses. As a
result, people there enjoyed a higher standard of living. However, the people of Venezuela elected an
authoritarian socialist thug, Hugo Chavez, who ran on a socialist platform.
DeSantis
Has Receipts That Pokes Major Holes In Migrant Class Action Lawsuit. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis' office
responded to the class action lawsuit filed on behalf of the migrants flown to Martha's Vineyard by immigration lawyers
and activists by showing the migrants signed consent forms. The lawsuit claims the flights were "a premeditated,
fraudulent, and illegal scheme centered on exploiting [the migrants] for the sole purpose of advancing their own
personal, financial and political interests." "It is opportunistic that activists would use illegal immigrants
for political theater. If these activists spent even a fraction of this time and effort at the border, perhaps
some accountability would be brought to the Biden Administration's reckless border policies that entice illegal
immigrants to make dangerous and often lethal journeys through Central America and put their lives in the hands of
cartels and Coyotes," said DeSantis' office on Tuesday [9/20/2022].
Joe
Biden's Migrants Are Bursting New York. The massive inflow of President Joe Biden's foreign migrants into
New York City is causing a crisis in the city's chaotic and expensive housing market. Welcoming Democrats are
trying to fix their self-inflicted problem by deporting some of the migrants to lower-wage employers in peripheral
cities, and by holding other migrants in unused cruise liners. Local and migrants are also competing for housing
spaces, including at one 1,000-bed shelter, the New York Post reported on September 19[.]
The Point
Has Been Made. Even before the newly-inaugurated Joe Biden began carrying through with his open borders
promises in January 2021, a border crisis of staggering proportions was rapidly developing along the southern border of
the United States expressly due to what Biden said throughout his campaign that he would do if elected. "I would, in
fact, make sure that there is — we immediately surge to the border. All those people who are seeking
asylum, they deserve to be heard," Biden infamously proclaimed during the third Democratic presidential primary debate
in Sept. 2019. "That's who we are. We're a nation who says, if you want to flee, and you're freeing oppression,
you should come." Obviously, that's exactly what happened, so much so to the point that we've seen record numbers
of illegal immigrants cross the border under Biden's watch since he shut down border construction and scrapped former
President Donald Trump's Remain in Mexico policy, with the "gotaways" (those who slip beyond border enforcement authorities
and make it into the country untouched) in 2022 alone numbering in the mid-hundreds of thousands so far.
Biden's
Open-border Policies are Killing Americans. Daily, the American public is confronted with images of
illegal aliens invading our country. The United States has been a stable republic because we have advocated and
practiced being a nation of laws. When governments become hostile to the rule of law, they undermine
Americanism. As states along the southern border struggle to handle this mass inflow of humanity, prompted by
Democrat's abandonment of law, buses and planes are now transporting arriving aliens to lawless sanctuary cities around
the country. These anti-American cities include Chicago, New York, and even the nation's capital. To anyone
who has seen these images, it has become clear that the open-border policies of the Biden administration have led to a
multi-pronged health, humanitarian, and national security disaster. Less visible, but deadly, is the corresponding
spike in China-sponsored fentanyl that has been smuggled across the border and is closely tied to the hordes of illegal aliens.
The
moral necessity of DeSantis's immigrant flight. It was necessary for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to fly
illegal immigrants from San Antonio to Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts. If you want to know why, look no further
than President Joe Biden's interview on 60 Minutes on Sunday night. Given at least 15 minutes to ask whatever
questions it thought important, CBS News made no mention of border security. Not a peep. Zip.
Zilch. Nada. Yet illegal immigrants are crossing the southern border at a record pace. The number has
passed 2 million this fiscal year, but the Biden administration hasn't yet made that official by releasing the August
data. Why the delay? You guess. As a direct result of these record high illegal crossings, record
numbers are also dying on the southern border — 750 so far this year, which is 200 more than last year and
500 more than in 2020. These deaths are all due to the chaos caused by Biden's catch-and-release border
policy. CBS News either doesn't care about these dead immigrants or does not want to embarrass Biden by asking
difficult questions that the public deserves to have answered.
Flashback:
Gavin Newsom Shipped Homeless People Out of San Francisco With 'One-Way Tickets'. Governor Gavin Newsom
sent a letter to Merrick Garland on Thursday requesting the Attorney General look into "kidnapping" charges for those
involved in Florida Governor Ron DeSantis' effort to send illegal immigrants to Martha's Vineyard. But if shipping
people out of state to try and give them a better life amounts to "kidnapping," Newsom has some explaining to do.
In July of 2019, SFist published an article critiquing a program called 'Homeward Bound,' an effort initiated by Newsom
as mayor of San Francisco in 2004. The program paid for bus tickets out of town, presumably with the destination
being to friends and family willing to take the homeless individual in. SFist, however, described it as a program
with a nice name which masks the fact that it "gives unsheltered San Franciscans a one-way Greyhound bus ticket out of
town and asks them to please never come back."
Illegal
Alien Encounters Hit 2 Million in One Year for First Time as Biden Border Crisis Rages. Let's be clear
from the outset: President Joe Biden is responsible — intentionally so — for the
Southern Border crisis that he and he alone created, which continues to pose a direct threat to the American
people. Despite the preposterous lies from "Border Czar" Kamala Harris about a "secure" border, and White House
press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre's ridiculous insistence that the border is "closed," hundreds of thousands of illegal
aliens continue to stream into America, many of them apprehended, processed, and released into the country —
while untold numbers are undetected.
Illegal
migrant commits suicide in NYC shelter; Mayor Adams blames Governor Abbott. New York City Mayor Eric Adams
confirmed on Monday that a female illegal migrant committed suicide on Sunday in a city shelter. He promptly
placed the blame squarely on Governor Abbott. He called it a man-made humanitarian crisis. I'll agree with
the mayor, it is a man-made humanitarian crisis. However, the man who made it is Joe Biden, not Greg Abbott.
Mayor Adams can't rewrite history. Joe Biden ran for president and promised to undo everything that the previous
administration did to secure the border with Mexico. He promised to freeze deportations of illegal immigrants
already in the country. And he pledged to work toward blanket amnesty for illegal aliens. All of this was
music to the ears of would-be migrants and they started coming to the border even before Joe Biden was sworn into
office. They are still coming. In the first two years of the Biden administration, the U.S. in on track to
apprehend about four million illegal migrants. It is, in fact, an humanitarian crisis. It's also a national
security crisis and a crisis of our nation's sovereignty.
'Martha's
Vineyard Invasion Song' exposing glaring liberal hypocrisy takes internet by storm. A BlazeTV host has
gone viral for writing and singing a song about the pompous, hoity-toity Martha's Vineyard liberal elites who last week
threw a fit over 50 illegal aliens being flown to their luxurious little island. Called "The Martha's Vineyard
Invasion Song," the song by host Chad Prather and CJaye LeRose mocks the blatant, glaring hypocrisy of the nearly
100 percent white island and its bougie residents. [Video clip]
Newsom
slams 'morally reprehensible' migrant transports despite launching homeless bus program as SF mayor.
California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom is accusing Republican Govs. Ron DeSantis of Florida and Greg Abbott
of Texas of possible kidnapping and has called their transporting of illegal immigrants to progressive states "morally
reprehensible," despite launching a program as San Francisco mayor that bussed thousands of homeless people out of San
Francisco and the state. Fox News Digital first reported on Wednesday that DeSantis sent two planes full of
illegal immigrants to Martha's Vineyard after promising he would relocate them to a "sanctuary destination." Abbott
similarly began sending thousands of illegals to Washington, D.C., in April and has since sent busloads to New York City
and Chicago. Newsom responded to DeSantis' latest action by sending a letter asking Attorney General Merrick
Garland to investigate whether the governors sending migrants out of their states are breaking the law by kidnapping.
Martha's
Vineyard Newspaper Lists 50 Job Ads Despite Claims of No Work on Island. While some locals have claimed
that the illegal immigrants who arrived on this wealthy island should go elsewhere since there wouldn't be work for them
with the summer rush gone, the local newspaper has listed 50 help wanted ads in a recent issue, and the local
supermarket chain has been known to need help all year long. The classified section of the Vineyard Gazette listed
more than 50 jobs in the same issue that ran a story about the illegal aliens, referring to them as "stranded migrants."
The job ads included positions for laborers, custodians, landscapers, bakers, cooks, dishwashers, technicians, library assistant,
and several retail positions. The local YMCA also listed several job openings, including housekeepers, ice arena workers,
and a front desk administrator. The spacious Y, located near where the illegal immigrants spent the night at
St. Andrew's Episcopal Church, shares a complex with Martha's Vineyard Community Services (MVCS), which also ran a
help wanted ad in the paper, including a job for administrative assistant, "bilingual preferred."

Fun Things Illegal Migrants Can Do in Martha's Vineyard This Month. The arrival of 50 illegal migrants at
Martha's Vineyard on Wednesday rocked the small island but inadvertently allowed the foreign visitors brief exposure to
one of America's top travel destinations. Martha's Vineyard's tightknit, affluent community, comprising mostly
Democrats, including former President Barack Obama, had proudly taken in the migrants after they were flown in by
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R). [...] The migrants' stay at the Vineyard was, however, short-lived as Massachusetts
Gov. Charlie Baker (R) was quick to deport them from the island. Baker announced he was sending them on
Friday to a military base on Cape Cod because "the island communities are not equipped to provide sustainable
accommodation" for the mostly Venezuelan nationals.
Broken
border: Illegal immigration arrests under Biden exceed Obama's eight years. An extraordinary number of
immigrants are crossing into the United States from Mexico since early 2021, setting off a series of crises at the
border as well as the interior of the country — the likes of which are unprecedented. In the first year
and a half of President Joe Biden 's tenure, Border Patrol agents nationwide have arrested more people who came cross
the border unlawfully than in President Barack Obama's two terms — an indication of the magnitude of the
situation. Border Patrol's 20,000 federal agents nationwide made 3,484,327 apprehensions of immigrants who were
unauthorized to enter the U.S. in less than two years of Biden's presidency, compared to 3,384,816 apprehensions during
the eight fiscal years that coincided with Obama's two terms in office. Some illegal immigrants tried more than
once to cross, particularly during the pandemic, because agents immediately expelled many back to Mexico.
Martha's
Vineyard Liberals Scream 'Not in my Backyard!' Who knew that residents of woke and progressive Martha's
Vineyard were racist, white supremacist, xenophobes? Former President Barack Obama owns a $12 million estate on
this racist island off the coast of Massachusetts. Are the Obamas racists? Other liberal celebrities either
live or frequent Martha's Vineyard, including Oprah Winfrey, Larry David, Bill Murray, John Kerry, and the
Clintons. Perhaps they are all racists, too, as the island has become anti-immigration. As NBC News
confidently asserts, there is "racism behind anti-immigration rhetoric," rhetoric which we are now hearing from Martha's
Vineyard. Democrats and the left do not believe in a sovereign national border, instead encouraging illegal
immigration and amnesty for those making their way from anywhere to the United States. Democrats have voted to
defend sanctuary cities and block mandatory jail time for repeat illegals.
Illegal
Immigration is Reaching a Point of No Return. In the face of epidemic fentanyl deaths, vaccine injuries
reaching into the tens of thousands, inflation skyrocketing, violent crime off the charts, mobs threatening Supreme
Court judges, and as more than two million illegals, and counting, stream across the border — liberals and
leftists screamed the loudest, last week, about 50 migrants desecrating Martha's Vineyard. Democrats haven't
always been so reckless. Not too long ago, illegal immigration was a no-brainer. "Illegal immigration is
wrong — plain and simple," Chuck Schumer said in 2009. Hillary Clinton belched in 2003, "I am adamantly
against illegal immigration." [...] Today, illegal immigration has not only become accepted, but institutionalized.
Seeing a rich, liberal enclave like Martha's Vineyard summon the National Guard and kick out 50 "migrants" in a little
more than a day, was a marvel to behold. And rare.
Biden
Admin Awards $80 Million Contract That Prohibits GPS Monitoring Of Illegal Immigrants. The Biden
administration is spending nearly $80 million on a new system to monitor illegal immigrants that prohibits the use of
any GPS technology, a decision that experts say will make it impossible to locate their whereabouts after their release
into the United States. The system, according to government records reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon, is
meant to track illegal immigrants via monthly check-ins via phone. Migrants released into the U.S. interior aged
18-19 are eligible for the program. Any GPS monitoring that would give exact locations, such as ankle monitor
tracking, is explicitly forbidden, according to the contract.
Democrat-led
El Paso is moving illegal migrants to NYC by bus, after White House slammed GOP governors who did the
same. Despite the White House fury that GOP governors face for sending migrants to sanctuary cities, El
Paso's Democrat-led city government has been doing the same for weeks — and is asking for the Biden
administration to pay for it. Led by Mayor Oscar Leeser, a Democrat, the Texas border city has dispatched at least
28 charter buses filled with migrants to New York City since August 23, at a cost of more than $600,000, KFOX-TV
reported this week. City officials say that they expect the buses to be paid for by Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA), as part of a quarterly reimbursement process covering emergency food and shelter for migrants.
Obama
[and other] Martha's Vineyard celebs [are] silent on opening up island homes to illegal immigrants. Former
President Barack Obama and several other high-profile Democrats who own homes on Martha's Vineyard have remained silent
on whether they will open up their homes to provide comfort to any illegal immigrants sent to the island by Republican
governors. Representatives for the former president did not respond to multiple requests for comment from Fox News
Digital on whether he has considered opening up his sprawling 29-acre estate on Martha's Vineyard to illegal immigrants
who have been sent to the island or may be in the future. In addition, Fox News Digital reached out to
representatives for prominent public supporters of President Biden who own homes on Martha's Vineyard but did not
receive a response.
Migrants
are actually thanking Desantis for sending them to the vineyard. Spin that, libs! MSNBC found
themselves guilty of accidental journalism Friday when their reporter on the scene at Martha's Vineyard revealed the
distinct difference in sentiment between illegal immigrants getting transported around the country and the activists
working to advance the progressive narrative. [Video clip] Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' upped the
ante in the effort to draw attention to the crisis at the southern border earlier this week when 50 illegal immigrants
were flown to the self-proclaimed "sanctuary" island, Martha's Vineyard. As evidenced by the swift removal of the
illegals at the behest of locals calling the situation a "humanitarian crisis," the expensive vacation destination was
only meant to be a sanctuary for the wealthy and the migrants who had been relocated were pleased to have been "brought
to paradise."
By
transporting migrants, GOP governors are exposing Democrats' hypocrisy. Next time, Joe Biden should be
more precise when he calls for national unity. Because he and his fellow Democrats don't like the kind of unity
they're getting from Republican governors. The decision by GOP leaders in Texas, Florida and Arizona to "share"
their abundance of foreign migrants with northern cities and states that boast of their sanctuary status is apparently
not a gift the Dems appreciate. In fact, the president and his party are so mad they're setting fire to the
welcome wagons. Shipping the migrants north is outrageous, a stunt, pure politics, they wail. The White
House is making noises about assigning its chief partisan enforcer, Attorney General Merrick Garland, to stop it.
That would be the height of irony because the same White House has for months secretly shipped tens of thousands of
migrants around the country, often in the middle of the night with no notice to local officials. No Dems
complained then, so where did their love go?

More Buses Full of Illegal Aliens Heading to New York City Left El Paso Yesterday. Keep 'em coming!
Governors Abbott, Ducey and DeSantis need to keep busing and flying illegals to Democrat sanctuary cities. So far
illegals have been transported to Chicago, New York City, DC and Martha's Vineyard. Texas Governor Abbott this
week sent busloads of illegals to Kamala Harris' front yard in DC. [...] Texas has transported 2,365 illegals on 51
buses to New York City since August 23, Fox News reported.
Ted
Cruz Suggests 3 Locations for Abbott and DeSantis to Deposit Illegal Aliens. Cruz on Friday urged Abbott
and DeSantis to bus illegals to three new liberal areas after the national news was dominated by Abbott's shipment of
roughly 100 illegals to the grounds of the U.S. Naval Observatory in D.C. in front of the residence of Kamala
Harris — who continues to insist the border is "secure" — and Desantis sent 50 illegals to the
smug Democrat enclave of Martha's Vineyard, sending wealthy liberals into apoplectic fits of hysteria. The
unwanted migrants were promptly shipped off the island within 24 hours. Anyway, as Cruz sees it, Nantucket,
Massachusetts; Palo Alto, California; and Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, should be added to the travel docket. [Tweets]
It Only Took
24 Hours For A Rich Liberal Enclave To Kick Out Their Illegal Migrants. Just 24 hours after receiving
about 50 migrants, the national guard was activated to ship the handful of migrants from Martha's Vineyard to another
town. The migrants arrived Wednesday after Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis flew them in on two planes,
declaring Florida was not a sanctuary state. The island called itself a "sanctuary destination" shortly after
former President Donald Trump took office, according to PBS. Certainly delivering migrants who are overwhelming
border communities to an island that decisively voted for President Joe Biden in 2020 would be welcomed. Wrong.
Migrants,
We Hardly Knew Ye. Well, that was quick. A mere 50 illegal immigrants threw Martha's Vineyard into a
tizzy, revealing the shallowness of liberals' humanitarianism. At least one Vineyard resident called on the Obamas
to open up their $12 million mansion to the illegals, and there were social media exchanges like this one: [Tweet]
But mostly, liberals reacted with outrage. Joe Biden denounced Ron DeSantis's shipping of illegals to Martha's
Vineyard as "unAmerican" — Biden is quite the patriot lately — but why? The Biden
administration has been flying illegals to various locations around the country, usually in the dark of night, for the
last year and a half. Apparently what is "unAmerican" is sending illegal immigrants to the haunts of the rich
rather than to hard-pressed working class communities.
Turns
Out the Illegals Sent to Martha's Vineyard Weren't Deceived About Their Destination. Remember when
leftists, in their full-on meltdown over Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis transporting illegal aliens to Martha's
Vineyard, shrieked about the notion that these individuals were not told where they were going? Yeah, looks like
that particular narrative wasn't exactly in line with reality. [...] The Daily Caller News Foundation reported that the
illegals who were transported to the white progressive haven at Martha's Vineyard knew exactly where they were
going. In fact, they obtained the documents these individuals were given before making the trek to the island.
Liberal
Narratives Implode With NYC's New Response to Illegal Aliens Bused from Texas. This week seems to have
been the week when the liberals just proved how empty all their claims about sanctuary cities really are, as they
descended into "not in my backyard" hysterics about a few illegal aliens being sent to Kamala Harris in D.C. and about
50 being sent to the liberal enclave of Martha's Vineyard. Turns out as we reported, the liberal enclave couldn't
even deal with the situation for a couple of days before they packed the illegal aliens on buses, and shipped them away
to Joint Base Cape Cod, to be looked after by the National Guard. But the liberals' NIMBY response doesn't end
there. Turns out now that New York, which boasts about being a sanctuary city and has a law that they have to
house everyone now says they aren't able to deal with it, after getting several thousand illegal aliens from Texas over
the past few months.
Kamala
Harris Refuses to Acknowledge the Illegal Migrants Who Arrived At Her D.C. Doorsteps. Two buses full of
illegal migrants arrived at Vice President Kamala Harris' D.C. doorsteps this week so that she would have no way of
ignoring the border crisis her and the Biden administration have created. However she still has managed to not
acknowledge the ever-growing issue. On Thursday, Harris refused to comment on the buses sent by Gov. Greg
Abbott (R-TX) that arrived from Del Rio, Texas carrying over 100 illegal immigrants that were dropped off outside
of her residence at the Naval Observatory in Washington, D.C.
Holding
the open-borders Democrats accountable. The U.S. is currently in the midst of a serious border crisis
since Joe Biden took over. More than 1.7 million migrant encounters occurred in FY 2021, and more than
2 million in FY 2022. The actual number of individuals who managed to cross the border and are inside the U.S.
has to be considerably higher. So what usually occurs after these migrants are apprehended? The Biden administration
transports these migrants, including the underaged migrants, via night flights, from Texas to New York, late at night.
So what happens after they land? The New York Post reported that the migrants are then bussed to various other states
or cities such as New Jersey or Philadelphia. It isn't beyond the realms of possibility that these migrants are dropped
into swing states. None of this is reported by the mainstream news media, obviously.
The
geese of Martha's Vineyard have to live with their gander policies. Is it "cruel" to send illegal
immigrants to Martha's Vineyard, as Press Secretary Karine Jeanne-Pierre says? Was it also cruel when the Biden
administration sent illegals from the border to Red states? What is the difference in the level of cruelty between
liberals sending their illegals to red states and conservatives sending theirs to blue states and cities, or is it cruel
only when conservatives do it? Liberals are on board for virtue-signaling diversity (and the crime) that comes of
illegal immigration so long as it is NIMBY. Does cruelty accrue only when Democrats are hurt?
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.

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

Biden official met with Soros activists ahead of border crisis discussions: Report. Secretary of Homeland
Security Alejandro Mayorkas held private meetings with border activists linked to liberal megadonor George Soros just
before commiserating with Texas Border Patrol agents last year over the out-of-control migrant crisis, Judicial Watch
has reported. The meetings occurred during an August 2021 visit promoted by the Biden administration to temper
news of a record-breaking monthly crossing of 213,000 immigrants in Texas alone. Mayorkas admitted America was
losing the war against illegal immigration.
The Editor says...
There is no "war against illegal immigration." Quite the opposite is the reality: Illegal immigration is
being encouraged and abetted by socialist Democrats in a wholesale exercise of the Cloward-Piven strategy.
Illegal immigration is unimpeded.
Lori
Lightfoot Drops Biden With the Priceless Words We've Been Waiting to Hear About Illegal Aliens. We saw the
left melting down on Thursday after Texas bused illegal aliens to Kamala Harris' house in Washington, D.C., and Florida
Gov. Ron DeSantis sent 50 illegal aliens up to Martha's Vineyard where the liberal elite like Barack Obama live and
take vacations. They can't even handle 50 illegal aliens without declaring an emergency, while border towns deal
with thousands every day. Texas began sending illegal aliens to Chicago, a sanctuary city, in August. Mayor
Lori Lightfoot's office claimed that they would be welcoming. "As a person of faith, I believe we must see God's
presence in all human beings," Lightfoot said. "That's what being a good Christian is." The "good Christian"
was lying, because once they arrived, Lightfoot rounded them up and then shipped them out to suburbs like Burr
Ridge. Lori Lightfoot had blasted Texas Gov. Greg Abbott for treating the migrants like "cargo" and not
providing her with advance notice they were arriving. But then, she turned around and did the same thing.
Migrants
In the Vineyard. The strategy of Greg Abbott and others to send illegal aliens to sanctuary cities around
the country was a stroke of genius. Not that it was original: for at least the last five or six years, a friend
has been emailing me to the effect that illegals should be sent to Marin County, Nancy Pelosi's San Francisco mansion,
and, above all, Martha's Vineyard. That, he said, would bring the open border problem to a screeching halt.
And it may. Ron DeSantis's master stroke of sending two planeloads of aliens to Martha's Vineyard has made liberal
heads explode. The irony is evident to everyone. These places are "sanctuaries" for illegal aliens, but if
they actually see a few of them they panic. Their yards boast "All Are Welcome Here" signs, but it turns out that
some are more welcome than others.
KJP:
It's 'Cruel' To Send Migrants To Liberal Sanctuary Cities. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre
said Thursday that the policy of transporting illegal migrants from Florida and Texas to Democrat-run cities is "cruel."
A White House reporter asked the press secretary to comment on migrants being transported to the "Democratic haven" of Martha's
Vineyard, Massachusetts, and the Vice President Kamala Harris' official residence in Washington, D.C. The press secretary
said the policy is a "political stunt" and "cruel." "It is a political stunt, that's what we're seeing from governors,
Republican governors in particular and it is a cruel, inhumane way of treating people who are fleeing communism, people who
are — and we're not just talking about people, we're talking about children, we're talking about families —
who are promised a home, promised a job, put on a bus and driven to a place they do not know. And it is a cruel
thing to do," Jean-Pierre said.
The Editor says...
[#1] The overwhelming majority of illegal aliens are not fleeing communism or anything else, other than unemployment. Many
of them proudly wave the flags of the countries from which they are "fleeing," so the conditions at home can't be that bad.
By and large, they are just looking for menial jobs and generous government handouts. [#2] Most of the people coming across
the border are unaccompanied by family members, and many are crossing the border for the purpose of giving birth to an "anchor baby"
that will prevent their deportation. [#3] It is extremely unlikely that any significant percentage of the new arrivals have
been "promised a home, [or] promised a job." [#4] If the illegal aliens are being "driven to a place they do not
know," that's immaterial, because most of them are crossing into a country they've never been to, so the whole country is "a place
they do not know."
What
Joe Biden and the Media Don't Want You to Know About the 'Bused Migrants' Nontroversy. I've watched with a
mixture of perplexion and amusement at the mainstream media handwringing over Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis shipping
off planeloads of illegal immigrants to Martha's Vineyard and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott sending more to Vice President
Kamala Harris' doorstep just days after she falsely declared the southern border to be "secure." As evidence of
the freakout, check out how CNN's morning crew characterized the moves: [Tweet] I mean who knew that Martha's
Vineyard was the new Auschwitz?
Uh-oh, I guess DeSantis is Hitler now.
CNN
is Comparing Ron DeSantis Sending Illegal Migrants to Martha's Vineyard to the Holocaust. Florida
Gov. Ron DeSantis on Wednesday sent an estimated 50 migrants to Martha's Vineyard on two planes on Wednesday.
The hysterical fallout in the liberal media is aleady palpable. On Thursday morning, CNN host John Berman had on
documentarian Ken Burns to discuss his film "Defying the Nazis: The Sharps' War" and asked him about how DeSantis'
publicity campaign is comparable to the Nazi holocaust.
Ron
DeSantis sends two planes of illegal immigrants to Martha's Vineyard. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis
followed through on his promise to drop off illegal immigrants in progressive states, sending two planes full of
migrants to Martha's Vineyard on Wednesday. A video provided to Fox News Digital shows the migrants deboarding the
planes at Martha's Vineyard Airport in Massachusetts. "Yes, Florida can confirm the two planes with illegal
immigrants that arrived in Martha's Vineyard today were part of the state's relocation program to transport illegal
immigrants to sanctuary destinations," the governor's communications director, Taryn Fenske, told Fox News Digital.
Biden's
illegal migrant surge costs taxpayers $20.4 billion a year: study. As if inflation brought on by
government overspending weren't high enough already, a new study shows that Joe Biden's illegal migrant surge is costing
taxpayers $20.4 billion a year, or $9,232 for each illegal migrant. [...] Some two million migrants have come on
in at Biden's incentivization of illegal entry, flooding cities such as El Paso, which has now been described by locals
as looking like "a third-world country," according to the New York Post. Biden's catch-and-release policies of
unvetted migrants into the country have created a disaster for U.S. national security, imported third-world crime, and
created a huge burden for U.S. taxpayers, who are already burdened by Biden's multiple government spending packages, all
of which create inflation. The $20.4 billion figure, times four years of Joe Biden's presidency, would bring the
migrant total cost to $81.6 billion for the taxpayers, which is well more than the $62.5 billion that Joe Biden
has shipped to Ukraine to help that country protect its borders.
Buses
of Illegal Immigrants Arrive at Kamala Harris' House, Shrieking Ensues. As RedState reported on Wednesday
evening, Gov. Ron DeSantis sent two planes of illegal immigrants to Martha's Vineyard, a favorite landing place for
rich, liberal elites, including Barack Obama. Greg Abbott wasn't to be outdone, though. News broke on
Thursday morning that two busloads of illegal immigrants were dropped off at Kamala Harris' doorstep. That came
just days after the vice president had proclaimed the border "secure." Here's what that contrast looked like.
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.

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...
Hmmm. This article says there were 11 million illegal aliens in the U.S. in 1987, and that's
the same estimate routinely given by the news media 35 years later.
4.9
Million Illegal Aliens Blew Past the US Border in the 18 Months Since Biden was Installed in
Office. In a report by the Federation for American Immigration Reform that was
released on August 16, 2022, close to 5 million illegal alien invaders have crossed the United
States borders in the 18 months since President Joe Biden was installed in office. In sum,
4.9 million illegal aliens have entered the US by the end of July. Rita Li of The Epoch Times
noted that this number includes 900,000 "gotaways" who escaped apprehension and have scurried into
the American interior. "Roughly the equivalent of the entire population of Ireland has illegally
entered the United States in the 18 months President Biden has been in office, with many being
released into American communities," FAIR President Dan Stein observed in the statement.
Democrat-Linked
Group Claims 96,000 Extra Immigrant Voters in Georgia. A Democrat-backed group claims
to have naturalized almost 100,000 legal immigrants in Georgia before the November elections.
"Over 96,000 newly naturalized Americans in the state, who naturalized between 2016 and 2020, could
significantly influence the outcome of the 2022 midterm elections,' said the press statement by
National Partnership for New Americans (NPNA), the SEIU union, and various Georgia-based,
pro-migration groups. [...] The naturalization includes many Indians, who are one of the most
pro-diversity, pro-Democratic immigrant blocs. "The number of newly naturalized citizens originally
from India, 11,188, is nearly equal to the margin of victory during the November 2020 presidential
election," the statement said. Georgia used to be a solidly red state. However, the growing
number of legal and illegal migrants recruited by businesses has allowed the Democrats to gain state
seats and to win a national Senate majority in 2021 when Georgians elected two Democrat Senators.
NYC
[is] now using 14 hotels to house migrants amid ongoing surge: officials. The ongoing
surge of migrants to the Big Apple has forced the city to strike emergency deals with 14 hotels
because the shelter system is overloaded amid President Biden's border crisis. Immigrant
Affairs Commissioner Manuel Castro revealed the eye-popping total during a news conference at the
Port Authority Bus Terminal in Manhattan, where five buses arrived Thursday carrying migrants
relocated by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott — matching Wednesday's record number of
buses. City Hall pressed the 14th hotel into service on Thursday, up from 11 about two weeks
ago, an official familiar with the matter told The [New York] Post. In another stunning
acknowledgment of the city's inability to deal with the situation, Castro said Mayor Eric Adams and
Gov. Kathy Hochul have appealed to officials in other states for help housing migrants.
Out of
Outrage. [Scroll down] This might be enough to spark outrage, if there weren't
instances of the illegal aliens flooding NY and DC now via buses from Texas, but getting welcomed
there like returning heroes. At the same time, the Mayors of NY and DC complain about the bus
loads of them being delivered. Which is it? Oh, that's right, they're communists with
cover being run by law enforcement, the FBI, the media and, in some instances, the church, so they
don't get held to account for their hypocrisy or blatant criminality.
Note to Mayor Adams: Texas has lots of buses, and at least a million illegal aliens.
5
more migrant buses from Texas arrive in NYC as Abbott calls out Adams' 'hypocrisy'.
Five more buses arrived in New York City from Texas on Wednesday, the most buses in one day to
reach the Big Apple. The new buses are only the latest to make the trip — Texas
Gov. Greg Abbott has sent more than 1,000 migrants to New York since Aug. 5, his office has
said. Abbott began sending migrants out of his state to liberal cities like New York and
Washington, D.C., thousands of miles from the U.S.-Mexico border, as a way to bring attention to
the migrant crisis affecting his state.
GOP
House members demand Mayorkas answer why he's allowing illegals to use warrants as ID on
planes. Two dozen House Republicans are demanding answers over what they call an
"extremely troubling" TSA policy on allowing illegal immigrants to board planes using arrest
warrants and related documents as identification. On Monday, the group of GOP lawmakers led
by Rep. Andy Biggs of Arizona wrote a letter to Department of Homeland Security Secretary
Alejandro Mayorkas requesting an explanation about why the illegal aliens have been permitted to
use civil immigration arrest warrants and deportation orders as identifying documents despite their
not being included on the list of acceptable forms of ID put out by the Transportation Security
Administration. The letter starts off by scorching President Biden's top immigration
enforcement official for his ongoing failures: "Under your leadership the Department of Homeland
Security (DHS) is failing to take the steps necessary to achieve and maintain operational control
of our borders. Instead of securing our borders, your department is facilitating the release
of illegal aliens into the country. Your catch and release policies have made our country
less secure and are encouraging illegal aliens to cross our borders."
Pentagon
Denies DC Mayor Muriel Bowser's second plea for the National Guard to deal with huge influx of
migrants. The Pentagon has denied a second request by Washington DC's mayor to help
receive migrants arriving from Republican-led states Texas and Arizona. Mayor Muriel Bowser
in July called for the deployment of the District of Columbia National Guard to help with migrants
describing it as a 'humanitarian crisis'. Bowser asked for 90-day deployment and for a review
at the end of that period, but the request was denied by the U.S. military.
NYC
could spend $300M annually to house migrants in hotels: analysis. The Big Apple could
be on the hook for more than $300 million per year to provide shelter space in hotels for newly
arrived migrants, a [New York] Post analysis shows. City officials have either rented or
announced plans to secure roughly 5,800 hotel rooms over the last month in response to the influx
from the southern border, which quickly overwhelmed the already-strained homeless shelter
system. One of the largest operations is planned for the ROW NYC hotel on 8th Avenue in
Midtown, where officials are looking to rent as many as 600 rooms and provide intake and other
services for the recent arrivals.
The Editor says...
It sounds like the New York City government is doing everything it can to attract more immigrants.
Or do they think nobody outside of the U.S. will find out about the luxury hotels?
Border
Crossers Awarded Healthcare, Free Cellphones Upon Arrival in NYC. Border crossers
arriving in New York City on migrant buses sent from Texas by Gov. Greg Abbott (R) are being
awarded healthcare services as well as free cellphones, among other things. On Sunday, as the
New York Post reports, the city's hospital system held an event for arriving border crossers at a
hospital in the Bronx where they were offered healthcare services along with free cellphones, food,
library cards, and school supplies. The event comes as Mayor Eric Adams (D) estimates that,
in the last few weeks, Abbott has bused more than 4,000 border crossers to New York City as part of
his plan to alleviate waves of illegal immigration to Texas by transporting new arrivals to
sanctuary cities run by Democrats.
The
Border Goes North, and Blue City Mayors Melt Down. The border has come to northern,
blue cities — and Democrats aren't handling it well. July's border numbers are in,
and the Biden administration again has set an all-time record for unlawful crossings, surpassing
2021's historic numbers. Most legacy and corporate media dodged this historic crisis, which
began almost immediately under President Joe Biden's watch. It's typically easy for the Acela
corridor simply to ignore the plight of border states. But red state governors, namely Greg
Abbott of Texas and Doug Ducey of Arizona, have changed the dynamic by busing some of the countless
border crossers directly to Washington, D.C., and New York City. Now, the big, blue city
mayors are having a fit and accusing Republicans of causing the mess.
A little taste of Laredo:
Hundreds
of migrants line up at NYC hospital for healthcare, food, free phones. Hundreds of
migrants — at least some bussed to the Big Apple by Texas Gov. Greg
Abbott — lined up outside Lincoln Hospital in the Bronx on Sunday to get health care
coverage, food and other items including school supplies and free phones. The event,
organized by the city hospital system, was billed as a "resource and family fun day" for the
migrants and their children, many of whom have come to New York City in droves in recent weeks.
"I came to New York about three days ago. I am a welder, and I am looking for work here,"
Venezuelan refugee Adrian Medina, 32, said through a translator.
The Editor says...
Well, Adrian, there must be plenty of welding jobs in Mexico City, which you probably passed through recently.
Most illegal immigrants
do not qualify for US asylum. The arrival of busloads of migrants into New York City has raised questions about
the administration's border policies. Here are the facts about our increasingly dysfunctional immigration system: Under
US law, most migrants coming here without permission must be expelled. The only exceptions are migrants fleeing torture
or racial, religious, ethnic, political or social-group persecution. "Economic refugee" is a contradiction, and
"seeking a better life" means nothing if a migrant lacks permission to enter.
Biden's
actions tell the truth: He's gone full open borders. The latest release of data from
Customs and Border Patrol shows nearly 1.81 million arrests of illegal migrants at the southern
border through July. That's more than for all of last year — itself a grim record
at 1.66 million — with months left in 2022; the year is well on pace to break the
2 million mark. And most of those "arrested" are soon let loose inside the country, even though
only 5% or so actually claim asylum. The share who get sent back plummeted as soon as Biden
took office and has continued to drop. The administration has apparently given up on even
mouthing "don't come," and its actions send the opposite message anyway.
Americans
are figuring out that they are being invaded. NPR/Ipsos released a poll last week
addressing American views on immigration. The bottom line is that more than half of Americans
believe that there is an invasion taking place at our southern border and that it's bringing in
lots of deadly, illegal drugs. They're probably thinking this because we're on track to have
more than 2 million totally unvetted illegal immigrants in this country just in 2022 because we're
hearing about massive drug busts, because cartels are optimizing this human drag, because lots of
people are overdosing, and because Greg Abbott's clever plan of shipping immigrants to D.C. and New
York City is working. But to NPR and Ipsos, all these Americans are victims of misinformation.
Nearly
5 Million Illegal Immigrants [have] Crossed [the] Border [so far] During [the] Biden
Administration. A whopping 4.9 million illegal immigrants have crossed our border
since Biden has taken office, a report from the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR)
found. The president of FAIR Dan Stein discussed the report, stating that "Roughly the equivalent
of the entire population of Ireland has illegally entered the United States in the 18 months
President Biden has been in office, with many being released into American communities."
2,200
border crossers in one day: Shocking footage of Rio Grande. Video from the border shows at least 700
migrants crossing into the U.S. from Mexico in the span of one day at just one border crossing in Eagle Pass, Texas. It
comes as Representative Tony Gonzales, a Republican from Texas, revealed that Guatemalan President Alejandro Giammattei
offered to provide assistance to President Joe Biden at the southern border crisis if he were to ask for help. Fox
News' Bill Melugin posted a series of videos to Twitter on Sunday showing mass amounts of migrants crossing illegally and
being apprehended by authorities at Texas' southern border.
Unsustainable:
NYC moving
migrants into famed luxury Times Square hotel. Mayor Eric Adams plans to convert the Row NYC —
formerly known as the Milford Plaza and located in pricey, tourist-packed Times Square — into an intake center and
shelter for as many as 600 migrant families amid the city's spiraling homelessness crisis, three sources familiar with the
matter said. "In a month or two, we're about to open up for [the city Department of Homeless Services], for homeless,"
a hotel staffer told The Post on Monday [8/15/2022]. "They're working on an agreement, a contract," the worker said of
the plan, which is designed to help handle homeless border-crossers bused to the city from Texas. "It'll be here at
this hotel, but they'll keep the DHS shelter on a certain floor. But that hasn't started yet, they said a month or
two." City Hall hasn't said what the hotel plan will cost or provided any other details about it, including who exactly
will run the operation.
Migrants
bussed in from Texas will be housed in $400-a-night luxury NYC hotel. A luxury hotel in the center of Manhattan
is set to become a hub for housing asylum-seeking migrants who have been bussed in from Texas. The Row, which is based
near tourist-packed Times Square, will become a shelter for as many as 600 migrant families in news that first reported by
the New York Post. Sources claim that they are going to place families and single people who have traveled from Texas
after Gov George Abbott unveiled his plan to start transporting people from his southern state.
Migrants
on Texas-to-NYC bus threaten to call cops when driver refuses to stop in Tennessee. Immigrants on a Texas bus bound for
the Big Apple — which was supposed to go to several cities along the way to let passengers off — threatened
to call cops when the driver said they wouldn't be stopping in Tennessee, The [New York] Post has learned. The charter bus
is part of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's border initiative. The Post was in Del Rio, Texas, Friday morning [8/12/2022] as
immigrants boarded the bus which was supposed to stop in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and Washington, D.C., before arriving at
its final destination in New York City. About 40 immigrants, a majority of the passengers, were supposed to get off in
Chattanooga, they said. By early Saturday, the bus driver told the asylum-seekers they would not be stopping in Chattanooga.
The Editor says...
[#1] Something is a little fishy about this story. If the passengers are on a charter bus, the destination should be well known
to all passengers. Getting off the bus halfway to the destination is highly irregular, especially if the passengers are illegal
aliens who are about to disappear and change their names before signing up for public housing and food stamps. [#2] Here's
a handy tip: When you enter the country illegally, don't make trouble, and don't call the cops for any reason.
If
Texas Border Towns Can Handle a Surge of Illegal Aliens, Why Can't New York City? The mayor of McAllen, Texas,
is bewildered. Javier Villalobos is on the front lines of Joe Biden's border crisis and McAllen, along with other small
and medium-sized Texas cities, has been overwhelmed with illegal aliens looking to get into the United States.
Villalobos has been following the story of a few thousand illegals being bused north to New York City and Washington, D.C.,
and the reaction from Democratic politicians in those cities. He can't understand what their complaints are all
about. "You see New York, you see Washington kind of drowning with a few buses," Villalobos told Fox News. "We
used to get over a thousand-something people a day."
Another
migrant bus arrives in NYC from Texas with 89 people on board, including five children. A father traveled for
over a month from Venezuela to Texas before boarding the bus to New York today with 89 other immigrants, including a family
with a child as young as one. Alexander Hernandez, 51, traveled for more than a month to get to the border in Texas to
get into the US. He is one of several migrants on the bus today which arrived at Port Authority early on Friday morning
as part of an ongoing political battle between New York Mayor Eric Adams and Texas Governor Greg Abbott. [...] Some migrants
on the bus were separated from their families before the trip and weren't aware they were headed to New York when they
boarded the bus, including a man separated from his pregnant wife and children.
From
'Remain in Mexico' to 'Remain wherever'. The Biden Administration has finally pulled the plug on "Remain in
Mexico": [...] "Remain in Mexico" worked. In fact, it worked so well that then candidate VP Biden promised to end
it. It was VP Biden pandering to the immigration activists and hoping that he'd never get elected and have to terminate
the successful program. It was also the Democrats pandering to Hispanics but not realizing that open borders is not
what they want in South Texas. Last, but not least, the absence of "Remain in Mexico" will overwhelm the Border Patrol
agents trying to do their jobs.
The
Biden Administration Is Accelerating The Illegal Border Invasion. Following months of Biden administration
shuttle diplomacy, multi-national U.S.-bound immigrants from more than 150 countries are now finding international routes to
the southern border faster, easier, and less obstructed than ever before. Panama has dramatically shortened the
notorious Darien Gap route from South America for the first time. Mexico has amended a years-old policy of using a
national guard road blockade to slow U.S.-bound immigrants on its Guatemala border for one that now immediately hands out
fast-pass visas straight to the American border. Taken altogether, the new relative ease, safety, and swiftness of
global journeys to the U.S. southern border should induce even greater numbers of foreign nationals to try the journey,
especially those border-crossing nationalities the administration is currently allowing to remain. The number of
foreign nationals not from Mexico or Central America is at the highest level in American history, amid illegal migration
already at record-breaking levels overall.
Greg
Abbott tears into 'hypocrite' Mayor Adams for being 'upset about welcoming a few dozen migrants into to NYC'.
Greg Abbott's office tore into Eric Adams after the New York City mayor called the influx of illegal immigrants being bused
to the Big Apple 'horrific'. 'Mayor Adams is hypocritically upset about welcoming a few dozen into his sanctuary city,'
the Texas GOP governor's Press Secretary Renae Eze said in reaction to the comments made by the mayor over the weekend.
She explained in the statement: 'These migrants willingly chose to go to New York City, having signed a voluntary consent
waiver, available in multiple languages, upon boarding that they agreed to the destination.'
NPR
blasts GOP governors for busing illegal immigrants to DC 'with no plan for what's next'. NPR became the latest
mainstream outlet to attack Republican governors for the growing migrant crisis in liberal cities. On Friday, NPR
promoted their coverage of New York City and Washington, D.C., struggling to handle increasing numbers of illegal immigrants
being dropped off in their cities by Govs. Greg Abbott of Texas and Doug Ducey of Arizona. The title of their article read
"GOP governors sent buses of migrants to D.C. and NYC — with no plan for what's next." "Texas and Arizona governors
continue to send buses full of migrants and refugees to Washington, D.C.'s Union Station, just a few blocks from the Capitol
building. Upon arrival no government officials are there to meet them," NPR's Twitter account wrote.
The Editor says...
[#1] "What's next" is now DC's problem. It is a problem that originated in DC and is now manifesting there.
[#2] "What's next" is something the illegal aliens themselves should have thought about before entering this country as
public parasites. [#3] The concept of "sanctuary cities" was concocted by Democrats. The purpose is to
welcome illegal aliens and guarantee they won't be deported. Why are they upset when someone accepts their offer?
Pentagon
Chief Rejects DC Mayor Bowser's Request For National Guard Troops to Help with Influx of Illegal Aliens Being Bused in From
Texas. The Pentagon on Friday rejected DC Mayor Muriel Bowser's request for National Guard troops to help with
the influx of illegal aliens being bused in from Texas. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin rejected Bowser's request,
saying that it would hurt troop readiness, Reuters reported. [Tweet] Bowser last Thursday requested the activation of
the National Guard to help deal with the influx of illegal aliens being bused into Washington, DC. More than 4,000
illegal aliens have been bused into DC since mid-April.
NY
Times Blames GOP Governors for 'Causing Havoc' by Busing Border Crossers to Democrat Sanctuary Cities. The
New York Times is blaming Republican governors for "causing havoc" by busing border crossers welcomed by the Biden
administration to Democrat sanctuary cities. As Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) and Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey (R)
continue busing border crossers and illegal aliens to Democrat sanctuary cities, the Times published a piece titled "GOP
Governors Cause Havoc by Busing Migrants to East Coast" where Republicans are seemingly blamed for President Joe Biden's
expansive Catch and Release operation.
Gov.
Abbott's idea to bus illegal migrants from Texas to NYC and DC is getting their attention. Back in April,
Texas's Republican governor, Greg Abbott, pledged to bus migrants who had entered Texas illegally to Washington, D.C. on a
voluntary basis. It was laughed at in the press and among Democrats as a "publicity stunt" at the time. But the
governor was dead serious, and kept that promise. Leadership is contagious, and Abbott was soon joined by Arizona's
Gov. Douglas Ducey. For months, the states of Texas and Arizona have been sending charter buses of illegal border
crossers being let in by Joe Biden's open borders policy to Washington, D.C.'s Union Station, near the Capitol building and
now to New York City, led by Mayor Eric Adams, who loudly proclaims his city a sanctuary city, with laws on the books saying
the city is required to provide housing to all comers. Abbott's office says that over 6,100 migrants have been bussed
to D.C. so far. Abbott expanded his operation by transporting migrants to the Big Apple, which he said like Washington,
D.C. is an "ideal destination" due to the city's generous treatment of homeless people.
Democrats
suddenly realize open borders are a disaster. Republican border-state governors are sending busloads of illegal
entrants — released in their states by the Department of Homeland Security — to DC and New York City,
prompting recriminations and pleas for federal cash from the Democratic mayors of those erstwhile immigrant-friendly
cities. Those mayors, seemingly unwittingly, are making the governors' point — that the administration has
created a disaster at the US-Mexico line, requiring an immediate policy shift to protect lives and state and local
finances. It started in April. Fed up with federal releases of large numbers of migrants into overwhelmed small
towns in his state (including Uvalde), Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) began offering migrants free bus trips to DC to shift
some of the burden to Washington.
First
Texas bus of 50 mostly male illegal migrants arrives in NYC: Gov. Abbott says Big Apple is the 'ideal
destination'. The first bus of migrants sent from Texas by Governor Greg Abbott arrived in New York City on
Friday morning. The group was dropped off at Port Authority Bus Terminal in Manhattan after making the almost
2,000-mile trip from the border that lasted days. A group of charity workers and volunteers greeted the roughly
50 migrants, who were mostly men, before they ventured into the city for hotels or shelters. One of the arrivals[,]
Jose Rodriguez, 38, told DailyMail.com he chose New York because it has the 'best opportunities' of the options he was given
when he crossed the border.
Excusing
Illegal Immigration Comes Back to Bite Mayors of DC, NYC. As busloads of illegal immigrants sent by border
states Texas and Arizona make their way to the nation's capital, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser is feeling overrun. Bowser on
July 28 formally requested deployment of the National Guard to deal with the influx of illegal migrants as she claimed her
city, the nation's capital, was at a "tipping point." "This is a very significant issue," Bowser acknowledged in
mid-July in a letter to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin. "Our collective response and service efforts have now become
overwhelmed." The call for help comes after Bowser and other Democratic politicians initially downplayed the massive
wave of illegal immigrants flooding across the nation's southern border and had done everything in their power to exacerbate
the crisis.
Judge
Strikes Down San Francisco Law Allowing Illegal Aliens to Vote. A San Francisco, California, law that allowed
illegal aliens and other foreign nationals to vote in some local elections was struck down in court late last week. On
July 29, San Francisco Superior Court Judge Richard Ulmer overturned the city's ordinance that was first passed in 2016,
which allowed foreign nationals — including illegal aliens — to vote in citywide school board elections
so long as they are the parent of a school-aged child and are not incarcerated or out on parole. By 2018, as Breitbart
News reported, the city had spent almost $400,000 to register a total of 61 foreign nationals to vote in the school board elections.
Los
Angeles opens up county government jobs to 'non-citizens'. At a time of rising unemployment and flight from
one-party blue cities, what should Los Angeles come up with but a new plan to hire foreigners in county government posts?
[...] This may well mean that illegal aliens will soon become the County of Los Angeles's ruling government. Sure, the
Times says illegals are excluded, but that's window dressing. Anyone with DACA status would likely be included in the
hireables list, as would anyone who's managed to cadge asylum from a pliant immigration judge or newly minted "asylum
officer," as will any of the millions who have seen their charges dropped by the Department of Homeland Security and who are
now free to roam the country.
Open
Borders Activists Balk at Red States Busing Illegal Aliens to Blue States. Open borders activists are balking
at red states taking immigration enforcement into their own hands by busing border crossers and illegal aliens to blue states
and cities like New York and Washington, DC. In April, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) announced that state officials
would begin chartering buses to transport border crossers and illegal aliens to Washington, DC, and other cities.
Catch-and-release
for all: Biden now seeks online asylum applications from anywhere in the world. As if anyone needed more
proof that the humanitarian disaster at the border is intentional and planned by the Bidenites, take a look at how they're
trying to expand the right to claim asylum here from anywhere in the world. [...] That's right, as if the border surge didn't
serve as sufficient warning to them about the foolishness of taking all comers who claim asylum, the Bidenites are now
planning to make it even easier to claim asylum, opening up an online system for anyone, anywhere, to get into the U.S. by
filing from abroad and flying on in.
Biden
online asylum system an 'open invitation for Chinese spies' to enter US, key senator warns. Oklahoma Republican
Sen. James Lankford, who recently visited the U.S.-Mexico border, is warning that President Joe Biden's online asylum
system is an "open invitation for Chinese spies" and all of Yemen to enter the U.S. Under the emerging plans, asylum
seekers "can just say, 'I have credible fear,' fly into the country, be here for eight years while they await their hearing,"
Lankford told Just the News after speaking at the America First Summit last week. "This is an open invitation for
Chinese spies to be able to come into the country. It's an open invitation for everyone to come from Yemen, to say it's
a war-torn country. "Immigration is not designed to be just open to anyone who wants to come. Asylum is the same
definition as refugee. If you're a refugee, you go to the next safest country, andthcoming you go there. They're
turning this on its head, saying if anyone wants to come to America for any reason, just come here, and we'll just take you
from everywhere. That's not what we're designed to be able to do."
No
Sovereignty Without Border Security. There are three very clear, very distinct and incontrovertible truths in
America when it comes to immigration and border control. They are truths that we should not marginalize or forget, but
that we should keep at the top of mind moving forward. The first truth is that America is a country of immigrants.
[...] The second truth is that America is a country that now — due to a devastating combination of ill-conceived
policy and reckless messaging — is reeling from a border security crisis of unconscionable heights. It is a
real crisis with daily ramifications that is imperiling the lives and livelihoods of American citizens across the
country. It is causing the exploitation of the desperate and vulnerable and filling the coffers of brutal criminals and
thugs. And the third truth — related to the first and second — is that no country has real
sovereignty without borders.
The Editor says...
This country was founded by immigrants, but to say that "America is a country of
immigrants" ignores those of us who were born here and didn't immigrate from anywhere.
As long as the problem was in Texas, she didn't care. But now...
DC
Mayor Muriel Bowser requests National Guard help after busloads of migrants cause 'crisis'. Washington DC Mayor
Muriel Bowser has requested the National Guard step in to help handle the arrival of thousands of migrants from the US-Mexico
border, saying the nation's capital has reached a "tipping point." In a July 19 request for assistance to Defense
Secretary Lloyd Austin, Bowser reported that "over 4,000 individuals arriving on nearly 200 buses" have come to DC since
April, when Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey pledged to put migrants on charter buses to protest
the Biden administration's immigration policies. "Our collective response and service efforts have now become
overwhelmed," Bowser wrote.
Diversity-Loving
Washington DC Mayor Calls For Drastic Measure To Deal With Illegal Immigrants. Governors in states along our
southern border have been vocal in their concerns regarding illegal immigration for years. Their school and health care
systems can't handle the additional workload, they explained. The financial burden placed on their taxpayers was
excessive and unfair, they shouted. And the fact that such migrants were entering their states unvetted posed a serious
threat to the health and security of their communities, they complained. But government officials elsewhere in the
country, particularly in our federal government and in blue cities such as New York and Washington D.C., dismissed the pleas
from governors such as Greg Abbott in Texas and Doug Ducey in Arizona. Both Ducey and Abbott are, after all, Republicans;
and Republicans just don't like the brown people that come across their border with Mexico. They're just whining bigots,
that's all. Then this past April, both Abbott and Ducey had had enough. [...] Just as the winter was turning into spring
in the northeast, Arizona and Texas began busing these migrants northward, to cities such as New York and D.C.
Biden's
Cabinet: Let us Count the Ways. [#4] Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas: Mayorkas
insists that our border is secure and there is no illegal immigration crisis. His greatest skill is that he seems to
lie more effortlessly, more easily in front of the camera than any of the other cabinet members. He has probably done
more damage to the country than any other cabinet member by his willingness to betray America's fundamental, long-term
interests by encouraging the administration's intentional illegal immigration invasion.
Growing
Number of Texas Counties Declare 'Invasion' at Border. Two more Texas counties confirmed they have declared an
invasion at the U.S.-Mexico border in recent days amid historically high illegal immigration. The Parker County
Commissioners Court unanimously voted this week to invoke a law to say that the United States and Texas are under invasion,
local media reported. Because of the significant presence of illegal immigration and drug trafficking, the declaration
says it is "an invasion of Parker County, Texas, as the term 'invasion' is used in Article IV, Section 4 of the U.S.
Constitution and in Article 4, Section 7 of the Texas Constitution." "I think we all know the border is a mess," Parker
County Sheriff Russ Authier told commissioners during the meeting ahead of the vote. "We see different aspects of it other
than our partners who are on the border seeing the human side of the smuggling, trafficking of people. A lot of what
we're seeing here is the drug smuggling."
Mexico
City residents angered by influx of Americans speaking English, gentrifying area: report. An influx of
Californians and other Americans has made its way to Mexico City, angering some locals who say they are gentrifying the area,
according to a report. The Los Angeles Times report on Wednesday outlined how some Mexican locals are "fed up" with the
growing number of Americans, many from California, moving to and visiting the country, which has contributed to a rise in rent and
a shift from Spanish to English in some places.
The Editor says...
Oh, yes, don't you just hate it when foreigners come to town and fail to assimilate? But who's got this problem — the U.S. or Mexico?
How many English-only TV stations are in Mexico City? I'm guessing zero.
How many Spanish-only TV stations are on the air in
Dallas? About five.
Ted
Cruz releases brutal video showing migrants who were recruited for human trafficking lining up at the border.
Sen. Ted Cruz accused the Biden administration of overseeing the 'worst plague of slavery in America since the Civil
War' on Monday releasing a gruesome video displaying the toll on migrant children. It shows footage of children being
rounded up along the southern border, and ends with images of young migrants found dead. Throughout, Cruz keeps up a
commentary describing a 'narco slave trade' and blaming President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.
Biden's
border of death. More migrants have been found dead on the U.S. side of the southern border over the past nine
months than have ever been recorded over a full year in history. In 2020, when then-President Donald Trump's "Remain in
Mexico" policy was in full effect, just 247 bodies were recovered by Border Patrol along the southern border. According
to internal documents obtained by the Washington Examiner, 609 bodies have been found so far this fiscal year
(beginning last Oct. 1) through June, a pace that puts us well on track for more than 700 deaths over a calendar year.
President Joe Biden has been in office for over 18 months. He has had plenty of time to implement the immigration and
border policies he wants. And the infrastructure is now there for the Border Patrol to implement Biden's vision.
The
Demise of American Citizenship. American citizenship and its one-of-a-kind written contract with the central
government, the Constitution with its Bill of Rights, is under relentless assault by the nation's governing establishment and
teetering on the edge of meaninglessness. No nation can maintain its status as a nation without secure and identifiable
borders. Citizenship means nothing if untold millions of illegal immigrants openly defy the laws without consequence.
It is estimated that 22 million illegals resided in the United States as of 2018. Responding to an explicit invitation
from the Biden administration, another 2+ million have walked unchallenged across the border in the past 18 months.
These so-called undocumented immigrants are becoming legally indistinguishable from citizens as they openly reside in 500 sanctuary
jurisdictions, receive welfare, education and medical care, are granted drivers licenses, and given tuition breaks at public
universities as they, not legal immigrants or American citizens, are exempt from federal immigration, health and travel laws.
Over
500,000 immigrant 'gotaways' at US border may be roaming the country: report. More than 500,000 known "gotaway"
immigrants have crossed the border into the US but evaded capture since the start of FY 2022, according to a new report.
Multiple senior Department of Homeland Security sources confirmed the number to Fox News on Monday, revealing that there has
been an average of more than 55,000 known "gotaways" per month. "Gotaways" is a commonly used term for illegal immigrants
who have been spotted crossing the border by agents or on camera but were not caught or processed by officials.

Email
from FEMA shows illegal immigrants bused to D.C. from Texas will be put on trains to Florida. According to a
report from The Epoch Times, a newly surfaced email shows that an official with the Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) stated that the illegal immigrants arriving on buses from Texas would be "put on a train" to Florida if they did not
have family to pick them up. The Oversight Project, an investigative unit of The Heritage Foundation, obtained the
email from the federal government via a Freedom of Information Act request. The email was in regards to the governments
response to Texas Governor Greg Abbott's initiative to bus illegal immigrants apprehended at the nation's southern boarder to
the nation's capital.
Why
would 500,000 illegals choose not to turn themselves into Joe Biden's catch-and-release Border Patrol? A few
days ago, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, speaking to the global elites at some summit in Aspen, surreally
declared that the U.S. border "is secure." It was garbage, much as everything else he says, given that more than
3 million illegal aliens with zero vetting have crossed into the U.S. on Joe Biden's watch[,] just as Rep. Andy Biggs
pointed out in his excellent op-ed for Townhall [elsew]here. Millions of illegal border crossers, with a record 270,000
apprehended in just the last month, is nothing to brag about, and yet that was exactly what Mayorkas was doing, according to
former ICE acting director Tom Homan. Fox News Digital asked Border Patrol agents on the ground what they thought of
the Mayorkas declaration — and got this: "Hundreds of thousands crossing every month is not the definition
of secure," one agent said. "They are liars and anyone who believes them are fools."
Supreme
Court Blocks Biden Admin Policy Narrowing Detainment, Deportation of Illegal Aliens. The U.S. Supreme Court
gave Texas and Louisiana a temporary legal victory in the border states' attempt to strike down a September 2021 Biden
administration immigration guideline. The Supreme Court, in a ruling without explanation on Thursday, allowed a federal
judge in Texas to block the Biden Administration's immigration guideline that, according to the border states' prosecutors,
limits the ability of border agents to detain and deport illegal aliens. The ruling is a political setback for the
Biden administration as it tries to juggle an unprecedented surge in illegal immigration, overburdened Immigration and
Customs Enforcement (ICE), and an agenda to replace the Trump administration's more stringent border policy amid bipartisan
criticism.
Supreme
Court won't allow Biden immigration policy to move forward. The Supreme Court rejected a policy by the Biden
administration to prioritize the deportation of illegal immigrants who pose a threat to national security or public
safety. In a 5-4 decision, the court's order freezes the policy for now, but justices said it would hear arguments on
the case, likely in late November. Conservative Justice Amy Coney Barrett sided with the three liberal judges who would
have allowed Biden to initiate the directive. The decision comes after the administration's emergency request to the
court following differing determinations from federal appeals courts. The case stems from a September order from
Homeland Security that stopped deportation unless the person committed acts of terrorism, espionage or serious criminal
conduct that threatens public safety.
Uvalde
and the Collateral Damage of Loose Borders. Authorities are still analyzing the conditions that led to the
nightmarish school shooting at Robb Elementary in Uvalde, Texas, on May 24. Like many similar incidents, there are a
multitude of factors: the school's safety procedures, law enforcement response to the incident, and the failure to recognize
warning signs telegraphed by the shooter, among others. But now, in a preliminary report on the incident, the Texas
State House of Representatives has identified another, previously unreported factor. Since they have become ground zero
in the Biden Administration's immigration disaster, Texas border towns have seen increasing numbers of "bailouts." This
refers to incidents where law enforcement attempts to pull over vehicles suspected of human smuggling. The drivers will
refuse to stop and speed away. The result is often a vehicle crash where driver and passengers "bail out" of the
vehicle and flee to avoid arrest.
'Look,
the border is secure': Alejandro Mayorkas makes stunning claim with more than 200,000 migrants passing every month for three
months. The Biden administration continues to assure that the southern border is 'secure' despite
record-setting numbers of illegal crossings and proliferation of the crisis over the last few months. 'Look, the border
is secure,' Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Matorkas insisted during remarks at the Aspen Security
Forum in Colorado on Tuesday [7/19/2022]. But he added that the administration is still 'working to make the border
more secure.'
Over
100 immigrants found in Texas stash houses before they could be smuggled. US Border Patrol agents rescued more
than 100 illegal immigrants from three squalid stash houses in a 24-hour period in El Paso, Texas, this week, officials said
Thursday [7/21/2022]. Dozen of people were seen crammed into disgusting rooms in dirty homes and motel rooms, according
to pics of the 103 immigrants released by Border Patrol. The find comes just weeks after the deaths of 53 immigrants in
San Antonio in the back of a sweltering tractor-trailer — and border officials believe a similar tragedy was
narrowly averted as the migrants were likely to be soon shipped off in trucks.
The Left Should
Be Happy with Biden. The Left should be ecstatic that Joe Biden has given them everything they wanted. [...]
The hard American Left always wanted unlimited illegal immigration. Biden agreed and destroyed the southern border as
we knew it. The result is that in less than two years, nearly 3 million illegal aliens have surged into the United
States. Nearly all of them arrived unvaccinated, untested, and unaudited at a time of a COVID pandemic. Biden
worries little that record numbers of Americans are dying from drugs that now pour across the border. Cartels became
richer and more powerful than ever under his watch, while child traffickers were freed from worries. Biden did more
than any prior Democrat to ensure massive illegal immigration as part of the leftist dream of flipping red states blue by
changing the demography.
DHS Lost Track Of Nearly
One-Third Of The Illegal Immigrants It Released Into The US: Report. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
failed to record the domestic addresses of nearly one third of illegal migrants released into the country, according to a
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Inspector General report obtained by The Washington Free Beacon. Between March
and June 2021, when the migrants crossed, CBP encountered over 720,000 migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border, according to the
Beacon. Between March and September 2021, nearly 30% of those released "did not comply with release terms," the
outlet reported.
Supreme
Court blocks Biden from implementing immigration policy but will hear case. The federal government doesn't have
the resources to detain and deport every immigrant in the country illegally. Like previous administrations, the Biden
administration sought to focus immigration enforcement on people it believes pose a threat to national security or public
safety or who are recent border crossers. The Trump administration, by contrast, sought to remove a wider category of
immigrants without such distinctions. A federal district court in Texas sided with the states and halted the policy's
enforcement. A three-judge panel of the New Orleans-based U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit — all
three of whom were nominated by GOP presidents — declined to put the district court's ruling on hold while the
administration contemplated appeal. The Biden administration filed its emergency request in July asking the Supreme
Court to review the 5th Circuit's decision.
As
Border Crossings Surge, [the] Biden Admin [is] Hiding Data on Illegal Alien Deaths. Border apprehensions
recently topped 1.7 million, with three months of the fiscal year remaining. At the same time, the Biden administration
has broken a long-standing policy of publicly releasing the number of illegal immigrants who die while crossing into the
United States, or soon after. The Rio Grande Valley in Texas and the Tucson Sector in Arizona have traditionally been
the most deadly border sectors, as the river and the summer heat claim the most lives, and smugglers leave injured and sick
aliens to die. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) published on its website the number of migrant deaths along the
southern border from fiscal 1998 to fiscal 2020, but stopped once the Biden administration took over the agency. Over
the course of three months, The Epoch Times made multiple requests to CBP for the missing data from fiscal years 2021 and
2022 to date. But CBP, to date, has declined to provide the information.
DC
is only 'experiencing a fraction of the disaster created by Biden's reckless border policies': Texas Gov. Greg
Abbott. Governor Greg Abbott's office claims that Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser is only seeing a
'fraction of the disaster' at the southern border after she complained that her city's homeless shelters are filling up with
migrants bused from Texas and Arizona. 'Border communities are overrun and overwhelmed, and Governor Abbott launched the
border bus mission back in April to help provide support to these communities pleading for help where the Biden Administration
is dumping migrants,' Abbott spokeswoman Renae Eze told DailyMail.com in a statement. She added: 'With our nation's capital
now experiencing a fraction of the disaster created by President Biden's reckless open border policies that our state faces
every single day, maybe he'll finally do his job and secure the border.'
Border
crisis hits NYC: Adams calls on Biden as shelters overrun with migrants. New York City's homeless shelters are
being overrun with asylum-seeking migrants as the immigration crisis at the southern border worsens — with nearly
3,000 arriving in recent weeks, Mayor Eric Adams warned Monday [7/18/2022]. Adams called on President Biden to send
"additional federal resources immediately" so the city can handle the overflow. "If we do not get these urgently needed
resources, we may struggle to provide the proper level of support our clients deserve, while also facing challenges as we
serve both a rapidly growing shelter population and new clients who are seeking asylum," Adams said in a prepared
statement. Adams said the illegal immigrants included families "arriving on buses sent by the Texas and Arizona
governments" but in other cases, he said, "it appears that individuals are being sent by the federal government."
Analysis:
Biden on Pace to Bring 2.1 Million Illegal Aliens to [the] U.S. Border in 2022. President Joe Biden is
currently on pace to bring about 2.1 million illegal aliens to the United States-Mexico border by the end of the year.
Steve Kopits with the Princeton Policy Advisors projects that in fiscal year 2022, Biden will entice about 2.1 million
illegal aliens to the southern border — an annual record for illegal immigration that surpasses Biden's record-setting
levels for 2021. "Overall, the situation at the border is largely unchanged. The Open Borders policy remains in place,"
Kopits wrote in an analysis.
Cuellar:
'Only 30%' of Border Patrol Agents Are on Border in Some Parts as More Drugs and People Come in. On Friday's
[7/15/2022] broadcast of the Fox News Channel's "America's Newsroom," Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX) said that "in the
southern part of the area from Laredo down to the valley," only 30% of Border Patrol agents are actually on the border
because the rest are doing processing and administrative work, and that at a time when "we have larger amounts of drugs
coming in, more people coming in, we have a lesser number of Border Patrol agents doing their work."
Greg
Abbott's 'publicity stunt' busing illegals from Texas to Washington, D.C. ... is working. With the border surge
hitting historic highs, and Texas taking the brunt of Joe Biden's open borders, the Lone Star state's governor, Greg Abbott,
announced a plan to bus illegal border crossers on a voluntary basis to Washington, D.C. He said it was to get Washington's
attention. Washington's swamp denizens in the press and halls of power, calling it a publicity stunt. What we are
seeing now is that the much-derided "stunt" is working. [...] Illegal border crossers are being offered free bus rides from
Texas to Washington and a lot of them are taking the governor up on it, heading for the free stuff there after paying $7,000
to cartel human smugglers for the crossing. Cartels make money, cities and states lose money, and migrants get to stay
in America for free. Bottom line here is that her city's shelters are being flooded with illegals, the cost is has got
to be enormous, the shelters can't keep up, and now [Mayor Muriel Bowser is] whining.
Biden
Halts Prosecutions for Most Illegal Border Crossings. The Biden administration dramatically reduced migrant
prosecutions by nearly 80 percent in the 2021 fiscal year, even as illegal crossings skyrocketed. Just 2,896 migrants
apprehended on the southwest border were transferred into U.S. Marshals Service custody in the 2021 fiscal year, according to
an internal Department of Homeland Security memo obtained by the Washington Free Beacon. In the 2020 fiscal
year, 13,213 migrants were transferred to federal authorities for prosecution. The precipitous drop in migrant
prosecutions illustrates President Joe Biden's break from prior administrations' policies toward illegal immigration.
DC
Democrats beg for help as border states bus migrants to Biden's backyard. More than 150 buses traveling from
Arizona and Texas have transported nearly 6,000 migrants to the nation's capital over the past three months, and Democrats in
Washington are complaining that they cannot accommodate the mass releases. The operation has collectively cost both
border states millions of taxpayer dollars, including $6.8 million in Texas to date. But Republican Gov. Greg
Abbott, who initiated the operation in mid-April, said the move is having the desired results — getting Washington
politicians a little taste of how communities have been inundated under President Joe Biden. "Governor Abbott launched
Texas's border bus mission back in April to bring President Biden's border crisis to his backyard in Washington, D.C., and to
help Texas border communities that are being overrun as the federal government dumps migrants in their towns," Abbott
spokeswoman Renae Eze said in a statement to the Washington Examiner.
DC
homeless shelters are filling up with migrants from Arizona and Texas Mayor Muriel Bowser claims. Washington,
D.C.'s homeless shelters are filling up because Texas Governor Greg Abbott is sending busloads of migrants from his state to
the nation's capital, Mayor Muriel Bowser claimed Sunday morning. The D.C. mayor is requesting that Abbott stop
preventing migrants from getting to their final destinations. Arizona's Governor Doug Ducey followed Abbott's lead
earlier this summer as they both started sending migrants from their respective states to D.C. to take some of the load off
of the migration crisis hitting border states.
Whose fault is it, Muriel? You've only seen a few of them, Muriel. Plenty more are coming, Muriel.
Dem
Mayor Muriel Bowser Whines About Illegal Aliens Sent by TX and AZ Overwhelming D.C.. Texas and Arizona have
been among the states inundated by the flood of illegal aliens entering through our southern border. Yet, the Biden
Administration doesn't seem to give a darn about how that is affecting and harming the states involved. Their resources
have been overwhelmed. So, the two states had a great idea. Let's ship the people who entered illegally and who
are awaiting their asylum claims to Washington, D.C., so that the people in Washington finally get how we are being
overwhelmed. They've been shipping hundreds of people in dozens of separate bus trips since April.
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.

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

State New Jersey Creates $60M 'Slush Fund' for Illegal Aliens. [Scroll down] Elected Republicans have
called the plan a "slush fund" intended to transfer New Jersey taxpayer dollars to illegal aliens. "The Democrats who
control the legislature know that Gov. Murphy's program giving big cash payments to illegal immigrants is so unpopular
with most New Jerseyans that they were afraid to fund it directly in the state budget," State Sen. Jim Holzapfel (R)
said. "Instead, they created a slush fund that Gov. Murphy controls that appears to have been designed
specifically to continue making these ridiculous payments," Holzapfel continued.
GOP
Lawmakers Demand Answers From Merrick Garland Over Removal of Trump-era Immigration Judges. In a letter to
Attorney General Merrick Garland, 12 House Republicans are demanding to know why Trump-appointed immigration judges are being
dismissed even as the border crisis rages. "Your department is unfairly terminating Trump-appointed immigration judges
amid a historic border crisis and rapidly growing immigration case backlog," wrote the lawmakers, led by Rep. Andy Biggs
(R-AZ). According to a recent report from The Washington Times, at least six Trump-era judges have been removed from
their posts. "It's an attempt to weaponize the courts along ideological lines," Matthew J. O'Brien, one of the ousted
judges told the Times. "It's court packing on steroids. It's court packing by deletion and then addition, because
they're getting rid of judges and they're replacing them with people who meet their ideological framework."
This goes on every month, but somehow the official number of illegal aliens in the U.S. remains constant at 11.3 million.

Migrants Apprehended Crossing SW Border in June. Border Patrol agents apprehended nearly 192,000 migrants who
illegally crossed from Mexico in June, according to government records previewed by Breitbart Texas. Since March 1,

under the umbrella of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Border Patrol agents apprehended just under 192,000 migrants who
illegally crossed the border between ports of entry in June. The source told Breitbart Texas that Border Patrol agents
are exhausted and overwhelmed while attempting to keep up with the volume of illegal crossings.
Multiple
Texas Counties Issue 'Declarations of an Invasion' in Response to Escalating Border Crisis. While Texans are
mighty proud of their "Don't mess with Texas" declaration, Joe Biden has been mightily messing with Texas since his
first day in office. The Biden Border Crisis has now escalated to the point that judges in multiple Texas counties are
issuing declarations of an invasion, effective on Tuesday [7/5/2022], in response to unprecedented challenges from the
escalating surge of illegal aliens into the Lone Star State. Leading the effort, as reported by The Center Square, is
Kinney County Judge Tully Shahan, the first Texas county judge to issue a disaster declaration in 2021 over the worsening
impact of Biden's illegal alien invasion, prompting other county judges to issue similar declarations. In addition to
Shahan's efforts, Kinney County attorney Brent Smith has asked Texas Governor Greg Abbott and Attorney General Ken Paxton to
take steps to act under Article 1 of the Texas Constitution.
DHS
erases barrier to legal status for some illegal immigrants. Making it back into the U.S. after being ousted is
"irrelevant" to an illegal immigrant's eligibility to apply for a new legal status, the Homeland Security Department's
citizenship agency says in a new policy. In the past, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services would have denied the
application under a law that required onetime illegal immigrants to wait outside the country for up to 10 years before they
would be eligible to apply to come back legally. Experts said the policy now says the law doesn't require a wait
elsewhere as long as the immigrant doesn't pop up on Homeland Security's radar during the waiting period.
Biden's
Immigration Policies Are Killing People. The tragic suffocation deaths of 53 illegal border-crossers in a
trailer truck in Texas are a horrific reminder that the Biden administration's open-border immigration policies continue to
act as an irresistible magnet, pulling hundreds of thousands of migrants from countries around the world to risk life and
limb in a dangerous journey to reach our porous southern frontier. The supply of would-be migrants is inexhaustible:
people who put themselves and family members, sometimes even unaccompanied children, in the hands of criminal smugglers in
order to claw their way into the developed world. While they may be desperate, these illegal migrants still calculate
their decision to travel based on the message they receive from the authorities in the destination country. And that
message from the Biden administration is wholly irresponsible. Even in acknowledging the mass suffocation deaths, DHS
Secretary Mayorkas, one of the chief architects of Biden's destructive immigration policies, still refuses to use his
megaphone to tell people not to come because they will be turned back.
U.N.
Says Joe Biden's Border Is 'Deadliest Land Crossing in the World'. President Joe Biden's border with Mexico is
the deadliest land crossing in the world, according to a United Nations group, the International Organization for
Migration. "More than 1,238 lives have been lost during migration in the [north, central and south] Americas in 2021,
among them at least 51 children," said the group's July 1 report.

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

and repel the invasion there? [#2] What did Spain do to deserve an influx of Mexican freeloaders and deadbeats?
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."

Obviously AMLO wants Mexico's criminals to flow this way, and America's money to flow that way.
No, thanks. Build the wall! (And more prisons.)
Border Conveyor Belt Continues.
When the time came to finally board the idling charter bus, a Cuban named George who illegally swam the Rio Grande two days
earlier ran to be first in line and start his new "forever" life inside America. George staked his claim as some 200
other illegal border-crossers, many still carrying their belongings in plastic detention center bags, formed behind him three
and four abreast in a line stretching half a football field long. [...] The well-oiled process CIS observed in Del Rio gave
rise to scenes where incoming Border Patrol buses disgorge their passengers fresh from processing stations right next to outbound
Greyhound buses loading up with de facto immigrants heading to new American lives. On May 20, a Louisiana federal
judge ruled that the Biden administration can't kill the Title 42 expulsions, which also deny access to the U.S. asylum
system, and must for now continue expelling border-crossing aliens. But that ruling appears to be proving no imposition
at all for escalating numbers of them. A roaring, expanding conveyor belt of buses and airplanes is hauling thousands
of previously expellable crossers like George into American cities, out of ear shot or sight of the American public.
Biden's
Diabolical Plan: Bureaucrats To Grant Asylum, Not Judges. Biden has started the first phase of a program
in Texas to have government bureaucrats grant asylum, without having it adjudicated by a court. Such a program based on
government employees making the decisions without a judge or prosecutor would be very vulnerable to infiltration by
open-borders radicals and also to bribery. This would open the floodgates at the border even much wider than they are
already, making it nearly impossible to deport these bureaucrat-designated "asylees" in the future. This new, very
great threat to our national sovereignty is being implemented by edict, a rule change, not by changing the law. Texas
and other states have filed a lawsuit to have it stopped. We already have chaos at the border even with Title 42 still
in place. The Border Patrol has been turned into an organization that assists the cartels in helping mostly unqualified
asylum claimant to cross the border illegally, instead of protecting the border as is their original mission. Title 42
is supposed to require all illegal border crossers to be returned to Mexico, but Biden has made so many loopholes and
exceptions to the policy that a large proportion of them are still being released into the US.
Largest
ever migrant caravan begins walk across entire length of Mexico to U.S. border. The largest-ever migrant
caravan is beginning its trek to the US-Mexico border. The estimated number of migrants in the caravan ranges from
about 11,000 to 15,000. Most of them are women and children. The news of the caravan comes at a particularly awkward
time for the Biden administration. Biden's Summit of the Americas is supposed to begin Monday in Los Angeles. As
often happens with the Biden administration, details about the Summit are murky. As of the middle of last week, the
leaders who will attend has not been confirmed. The caravan plans to leave Tapachula, a city on the Mexico-Guatemala
border, on Monday, the same day the Summit of the Americas is set to begin. Other caravans have left from Tapachula in
the past but this one is said to be the largest one ever. The migrants in the caravan aren't just from Central America,
they are from countries around the world, from as far away as Africa and India.
The Editor says...
This influx would stop overnight if the U.S. government made it abundantly clear that [#1] anyone caught sneaking into this country will be deported to a remote
and desolate point somewhere on the earth, the name of which will not be revealed to the deportee, and [#2] anyone entering this country legally after
January 31, 2021, will be ineligible to vote or to receive government benefits of any kind.
Will the secret
New York migrant flights ever stop? As illegal migration at the southern border breaks new records, the Biden
administration has upped the frequency of its secret flights to an industrial scale. Migrant flights into New York have
ratcheted up in recent weeks to almost one per night, and now a new airport is being utilized to cater for the overflow, in
an apparent bid by the administration to avoid images of border chaos before the November mid-term elections. New York
Stewart International Airport, in the Hudson Valley, is taking up the slack for Westchester County Airport, according to
video provided to The [New York] Post by Republican gubernatorial hopeful Rob Astorino. "It's just an expansion of this
program and a second airport no one thought they would go through, either to be clandestine or because of a need for another
runway,' says Astorino.
Like
the US, England is being buried under illegal aliens and economic migrants. With Biden in office, America's
southern border has vanished entirely. Illegal aliens crossed the border over 1.6 million times in 2021 and, this year,
they're going to break that record, given that they're marching across the border at the rate of around 200,000 per month (a
number that may increase if Biden gets rid of the Title 42 health restriction). Once here, if the illegal aliens are caught,
the government feeds them, clothes them, gives them free baby formula (if they need it), and ships them across the country to
wherever they want to go. But believe it or not, we're the lucky ones. What's happening in Europe and, especially,
in England is infinitely worse.
Buried
News: Customs and Border Protection is recruiting single moms as 'asylum seekers' — in Mexico.
The New York Times did an interesting, but biased photo story of how illegal immigrants cross the border to claim asylum in
the U.S., one segment of a long chain of events that has seen the transport of more than a million so-called "asylum seekers"
into the U.S. in the Joe Biden era. [Excerpts omitted for brevity.] Did we read that right? Someone at Customs
and Border Protection is actually recruiting illegal migrants from a foreign country to come into the states to seek
"asylum"? Humanitarian exceptions? What if these people are bringing in COVID — or tuberculosis, monkey
pox, malaria, leishmanosis, or any of a host of diseases migrants are known to carry from their countries of orgin, if not
pick up while willingly placing themselves in the hands of human smugglers, who have zero concerns for migrant health?
The story does say that the migrants are tested for COVID when they are brought in, but it does not say that the migrants who
test positive for COVID are sent back.
Feds
bust extensive Uber smuggling ring at northern border. Federal authorities say Rajinder Pal Singh had figured
out a pretty sweet scam, smuggling illegal immigrants from India across the northern border and into the Seattle
area — by putting them in Ubers. Investigators revealed evidence of more than 90 Uber trips they say showed
patterns of smuggling that they connected to Mr. Singh from just one Uber account. And they traced a total of 17
accounts to his organization, according to court documents. Mr. Singh's arrest late last month underscored the
dangers and vulnerabilities at the northern border, far from the U.S.-Mexico boundary that gets most of the attention these days.
The
U.S. Government Pays to Bus In Thousands of Migrants over the Southern Border Daily. U.S. border officials are
quietly bussing a vast flood of wage-cutting, rent-spiking migrants into Americans' towns and cities, despite the
court-ordered preservation of the Title 42 barrier. "It's like 8,000 to 9,000 a day now," and there are more on the
way, migration monitor Todd Bensman told Breitbart News. U.S. border chief Alejandro Mayorkas and his pro-migration
deputies are using the Title 42 barrier to send some Central American single men and families back to Mexico. But
Mayorkas is cutting loopholes in the barrier to place everyone else on government-funded buses to cities and towns around the
United States, said Bensman, who works for the Center for Immigration Studies.
Our
Economic Misery Isn't an Accident, It's the Plan. Two million illegal aliens are expected to invade America
because the Biden administration is paying a whole lot of attention to keeping the border open. That's why it's busy
fighting in court to dump Title 42 so that every illegal alien who crosses the border will be sure to come here. When
an administration makes increasing the flow of illegal aliens a core legal priority for the DOJ, that means it's paying a
whole lot of attention to it. [...] The Biden administration doesn't believe that there should be a border. That's why
the border is open wider than Biden's brain on a Tuesday night.
Congressman:
Baby formula stocked at border for migrants 'like a Costco'. On a trip to visit the United States-Mexico border
this week, Rep. Buddy Carter (R-GA) said he saw well-stocked warehouses with a variety of supplies including baby
formula. The facility for unaccompanied minors and families in Donna, Texas is stocked high "like a Costco" with baby
formula, Carter said in a Thursday interview with Fox News. While the border patrol facilities for migrants are
well-stocked, Texas is one of the states worst-affected by the baby formula shortage, according to data from the market
research group IRI. The congressman said he and his colleagues were specifically on the lookout for formula at the
border facilities.
Illegal
immigrant population soars to 11.6 million. President Joe Biden's open borders policies have led to a more than
10% surge in the United States's illegal immigrant population, according to a new review of federal data. Numbers
reviewed by the Census Bureau and the Bureau of Labor Statistics show that the illegal population grew from 10.2 million when
Biden took office to 11.6 million in April. "This means that illegal immigrants accounted for some 1.35 million (about
two-thirds) of the two million growth in the total foreign-born population since President Biden took office," according to the
analysis from the Center for Immigration Studies. As a result, the foreign-born population in the nation, which includes
legal and illegal immigrants, is 47 million, or 14.3% of the total population, the highest in 112 years.
The Editor says...
The illegal immigrant population has been well over 11 million for
at least 12 years
and the actual number is probably closer to 30 million. None of the illegal aliens are leaving, at least not at the rate that new arrivals come in.
2 million
new faces in 16 months: The Biden era's foreign-born boom. In a new analysis for the Center for
Immigration Studies, my colleague Karen Zeigler and I show that the total foreign-born or immigrant population reached
47 million in April 2022 — the highest number ever in American history, and an increase of 2 million in just
the first 16 months of the Biden administration. These numbers are extraordinary, not only because they indicate that
America has lost control of its borders, but also because they raise profound questions about how many people the country can
successfully integrate. The new estimates are derived from the Census Bureau's Current Population Survey (CPS),
collected each month for the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). The foreign-born include all persons who were not US
citizens at birth.
Biden
to announce new plan for migration — at a summit Mexico is boycotting. Really? The guy who
invited 2 million illegal migrants in as "asylum seekers" is now wanting to keep them out? That's just a whiff of the
problem, here's the big one: Mexico has no intention of attending the conference. Mexico and a whole lot of the
rest of the 34 or so countries in the regional grouping are planning to boycott the gathering, because Biden has not invited
Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua to come. [...] U.S. officials, according to the Reuters report, are downplaying the possibility
of any problems to the plan with Mexico not in attendance. Yeah, sure. But with Mexico likely out, all we have
are questions as to what kind of migration plan is this?
Uvalde
Schools [have been] Locked Down at Least 48 Times This Academic Year. The Uvalde public school district is no stranger to
campus lockdowns. In October 2021, Mayor Don McLaughlin reported the district had been forced into lockdowns 48 times
during the first few months of the school year, largely due to human smuggler pursuits near campuses. At the time,
Uvalde Mayor McLaughlin joined with a commission of local government representatives of Kinney and Uvalde Counties to demand
action from the Texas Department of Emergency Management (TDEM) regarding the growing border crisis, Breitbart Texas' Randy
Clark reported. The county and city officials detailed the consequential impact of the border crisis on local resources.
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.

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...
If the illegal aliens have been moved to Florida, rather than being deported,
then the federal government has abdicated its responsibility to deport them, and (it seems to me) the states should be
legally able to deport the aliens to Central or South America, if that's what it takes to send a clear message.
Is Biden's 'Success'
Our Mess? Apparently, what most in the country see as disasters, Biden envisions as success. Take the
border — or rather its disappearance. Never in U.S. history has an administration simply canceled
immigration laws, opened the border, and welcomed in millions of illegal aliens. All arrive illegally, and without
audit, or vaccinations and tests in times of a pandemic. Cartels now import lethal drugs at will into the United
States. We have no idea how many terrorists walk across the border each day. Almost all the millions who break
the law by entering are poor, without high school diplomas or English skills, and in dire need of massive federal and state
housing, food, education, legal, and health subsidies.
Border
Patrol Using Rare 'Parole' Exemption to Quickly Release Tens of Thousands of Illegal Aliens Into US. U.S.
Border Patrol has started to use, on a mass scale, a special "parole" exception that was previously used sparingly to allow
tens of thousands of illegal immigrants to stay in the United States for at least a year, The Epoch Times has learned.
Under parole status, illegal immigrants don't have to provide Border Patrol with evidence of credible fear for asylum and are
permitted entry without any preconditions, except a quick background check in the U.S. crime database. A Customs and
Border Protection spokesman said the parole designation allows for overwhelmed Border Patrol stations to process large numbers
of illegal aliens "significantly faster" and release them into the country much faster than the more involved current system —
which releases an illegal alien with a notice to appear that includes a court date for their first immigration hearing.
Migrant
Encounters Hit Record High As Biden Looks To End Title 42 Next Week. Migrant encounters at the southern border
hit a record high in April, according to new filings from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Fox News' Bill Melugin
reported. The record-setting month comes as President Joe Biden looks to end Title 42, a Trump-era policy allowing
Border Patrol to turn away migrants at the border due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Biden
Subsidizes Business with 35K Foreign Workers to Hire for U.S. Jobs as Nearly 12M Americans Remain Jobless.
President Joe Biden is subsidizing businesses with 35,000 more foreign H-2B visa workers to hire for non-agricultural jobs in
the United States, even as nearly 12 million Americans remain jobless. On Monday, Department of Homeland Security (DHS)
Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas announced that the administration would begin allowing businesses to hire up to 35,000
additional foreign H-2B visa workers for nonagricultural jobs in construction, hospitality, and landscaping.
234,088
migrants [were] encountered at southern border in April, [the] most in a century. The number of migrants
encountered attempting to enter the United States illegally from Mexico rose in April, surpassing all previous records over
the past century, an indication of the scale of the illegal immigration crisis at the border. U.S. border officials
intercepted 234,088 migrants attempting to enter the country illegally last month, according to a federal court document
obtained by the Washington Examiner late Monday [5/16/2022]. In the first 15 full months of President Joe Biden's
term in office, federal law enforcement at the southern border have stopped more than 2.75 million people attempting to cross
into the United States without permission.
Dozens
of migrants released onto streets of El Paso as shelters near capacity. About 100 immigrants claiming asylum
were released into downtown El Paso, Texas, Sunday as federal facilities and nonprofit migrant shelters reach capacity in the
border city, according to the El Paso Times. The migrants were released before dawn, and some quickly made plans to
travel on to other cities, while others lingered on the streets of El Paso or at the airport — too broke to leave
or book a hotel. These immigrants have cleared the initial steps in their asylum case and are authorized to be in the
US until a judge makes a ruling, which can often take years. When they are released by federal authorities, the
migrants give Immigration and Customs Enforcement an address where they can be found, are often tracked by ICE and must check
in as they move through the legal process.
Senator
Probes Biden Admin for Offloading Baby Formula to Illegal Immigrants. Congress is investigating the Biden
administration for reportedly shipping pallets of baby formula to illegal immigrants, according to a copy of the probe
obtained by the Washington Free Beacon. Sen. Ron Johnson (R., Wis.) is asking the Department of Homeland
Security and the Food and Drug Administration to provide information on the steps it is taking to combat the nationwide
shortage of baby formula in light of reports that illegal immigrants detained by federal authorities are receiving "pallets"
of formula at detention centers. "As hard-working American parents struggle to find infant formula, a recent news
report indicated that illegal immigrants detained by Border Patrol may not be experiencing these difficulties," Johnson
writes in a letter sent Friday to Biden administration leaders. "A member of Congress reportedly obtained photographs
from a Border Patrol agent showing that shelves at a Customs and Border Protection (CBP) detention center in McAllen, Texas,
are stocked with 'pallets' of baby formula."
The Absolute
Lunacy of Catch and Release. The Gordian knot of our nation's immigration crisis involves few policy disasters
more burdensome than "catch-and-release." While many Americans have heard the phrase, most do not understand why it is
such a problem. Catch-and-release has become an umbrella term for a host of policies and practices that allow for a
porous border and let untold numbers of illegal aliens live in the country with little fear of deportation. It
specifically refers to the scenario in which law enforcement officers apprehend someone here illegally. Instead of
detaining the person until his case may be heard before an immigration judge, he is instead released into the country until
he's notified of a hearing date. A fishing term, catch-and-release came into political practice during the
administration of George W. Bush. Michael Chertoff, Bush's homeland security chief, had pledged in testimony before the
Senate Judiciary Committee to "return every single illegal entrant — no exceptions." While Chertoff pushed for
more detentions, catch-and-release made a comeback under Barack Obama and was not threatened again until Donald Trump
targeted it as one of the centerpieces of this immigration enforcement push.
Migration
crisis has worsened despite Biden's pledge to address 'root causes'. President Joe Biden pledged to end the
migration crisis by addressing the root causes that have led millions to flee Central America for the U.S. southern
border. Sixteen months into Biden's tenure, though, the situation at the U.S. border with Mexico is far worse, and the
administration's efforts to improve conditions in migrants' home countries have not amounted to much. Encounters of
illegal immigrants at the southern border are at all-time highs.
Biden
administration makes sure that children of illegal immigrants are well fed. This week, the US Department of
Health and Human Services launched a page online entitled Fact Sheet: Helping Families Find Formula During the
Infant Formula Shortage. The shortage is based on a recall by Abbott Nutrition on much of its powdered formula lines
after four infants fell ill and two sadly died. The manufacturer claims there was no connection between the illnesses,
deaths and their product. They are waiting on the all-clear from the Food and Drug Administration to resume production.
Lifting
Title 42 Will Mean Fewer Border Patrol Agents in Field. Border security experts expect the nation will bear the
consequences of more illegal immigration whether the Biden administration ends a key public health measure by the end of the
month or does it later. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced last month that the policy, known as
Title 42, would expire May 23. President Joe Biden's Department of Homeland Security has estimated that could
mean an influx of 18,000 migrants a day who cross the border illegally.

Biden
Admin Sends Massive Amount Of Baby Formula To Illegal Immigrants. Under the Biden admin, America has been put
last in every way possible. Recent reports from the Southern Border have revealed that the Biden admin has been sending
pallets of baby formula to migrant holding facilities. The shipments of baby formula to the illegal immigrants come in
the midst of a severe shortage of baby formula across the country. Since April, the quantity of infant formula
available across the country has dropped by forty percent, leaving parents of newborns scrambling to find nourishment that
they can give to their children. In addition, Abbott Laboratories issued a recall for Similac, which has made the
shortage of formula even worse during the past few months.
Border
detention center looks stocked with baby formula despite shortage. As American families deal with a shortage of
baby formula across the US, a Florida Republican lawmaker has released images of dozens of boxes of the coveted product at a
migrant processing facility near the US-Mexico border. Rep. Kat Cammack shared pictures of "pallets" of infant
formula at the Ursula Migrant Processing Center in McAllen, Texas on her Twitter and Facebook pages Wednesday [5/11/2022].
"The first photo is from this morning at the Ursula Processing Center at the U.S. border. Shelves and pallets packed
with baby formula," she wrote in a tweet accompanying side-by-side photographs of full and bare shelves. "The second is
from a shelf right here at home. Formula is scarce. This is what America last looks like."
Whistleblower
Confirms Brian Craig Was Right About Baby Formula Shortage! Steve Kane Radio Show co-host Brian Craig
speculated on May 10 that he believes that the federal government is stockpiling baby formula in order to provide it to
illegal aliens crossing the border. Well, lo and behold, just ONE day later on May 11, Florida Congresswoman Kat
Cammack informed the world that a border patrol whistleblower confirmed that Brian was exactly right. A photo was provided
of the Ursula Processing Center in Texas showing full shelves of baby formula.
Lawmaker
Says Migrants Are Getting 'Pallets' Of Baby Formula Amid Nationwide Shortage. Migrants are receiving ample
supplies of baby formula, according to Republican Florida Rep. Kat Cammack, while Americans are experiencing severe
formula shortages. Photos allegedly taken by a Border Patrol agent at the Ursula Processing Center in McAllen, Texas
showed fully stocked shelves of baby formula supposedly given to migrants, according to a Wednesday Twitter post by
Cammack. The photos come as Americans across the country are seeing empty shelves where stores used to have baby
formula as a result of the supply chain crisis and product recalls.
GOP rep says
illegal migrants sent 'pallets' of hard-to-find baby formula. Pallets of baby formula are being sent to holding
facilities at the border amid a shortage that has seen many parents unable to find it at their local stores, according to a
GOP representative. "They are sending pallets, pallets of baby formula to the border," Rep. Kat Cammack, R-Fla.,
said in a video posted to Facebook Wednesday. "Meanwhile, in our own district at home, we cannot find baby formula."
Cammack posted pictures to social media of empty formula shelves in Florida next to the pallets of food being sent to the
border, saying in the video that a concerned border patrol agent sent her the image.

inaccessible by car, according to a Border Patrol union representative. All of the agents implicated in the controversy

DEA
Quietly Removes Narco-Busting Aircraft From Mexico As Drug Overdoses Skyrocket. As overdose-induced deaths
skyrocket to record highs in the U.S, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has quietly relocated a plane fundamental to
anti-narcotics operations in Mexico, according to Reuters. The DEA plane was moved to Texas after Mexican officials
revoked its parking spot, according to an anonymous U.S. government official and two security sources, Reuters
reported. The move coincides with new data published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that shows
over 100,000 Americans have died of drug overdoses in 2021, which is a 15% increase from 2020 and a 30% increase from 2019
driven largely by the the use of fentanyl and methamphetamine. China is the primary source of fentanyl and
fentanyl-related substances trafficked into the U.S., and the drug is often smuggled into the country at the southern border,
according to the DEA. Border officials have seized record amounts of fentanyl from traffickers in 2022.

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.

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.

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

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.

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...
This is no bargain. There are no "border barriers against illegal migration." The border has been all but
completely wide open since Biden was given the office of President.
Tenth
Migrant Bus Arrives in Washington D.C.. True to his word, Texas Governor Greg Abbott continues to send buses of
illegal migrants to President Biden's D.C. doorstep. The Lone Star gov has now sent a total of ten buses from the
southern border. "By busing migrants to Washington, D.C., the Biden Administration will be able to more immediately
meet the needs of the people they are allowing to cross our border," Abbott said last week. "Texas should not have to
bear the burden of the Biden Administration's failure to secure our border." "Abbott told 'Hannity' earlier this week
that he was forced to come up with 'new ideas to do the federal government's job' as border checkpoints struggle to manage
the flow of people attempting to enter the United States and amid the Biden administration's move to eliminate the Title 42
expulsion provision," Fox reports.
Still
more secret migrant flights, why is Biden keeping this off the books? Another suspected migrant flight landed
in White Plains late Tuesday night, the fifth such flight in the past six days. The iAero airlines flight WQ491 from El Paso,
Texas, via Jacksonville, Fla., landed at 10:33 p.m. The same iAero plane shuttled back and forth between El Paso
and New York over Easter weekend. On Saturday, it landed at 11:33 p.m. On Monday it landed at 10:17 p.m. If
it were not for The Post, the public would not be aware of any of the Biden administration's charter flights, which are
fanning out every night, all over the country, delivering illegal migrants from the southern border to oblivious
communities. After a lull late last year, in recent weeks "the charters are back with a fury," says a whistleblower
from Avelo Airlines, one of three charter companies raking in millions of taxpayer dollars whisking migrants out of
sight. Staffers are disturbed by the secrecy of the operation, and the prospect that they are participating in a
human-trafficking operation, the whistleblower says.
More
Democrats Split With Biden as White House Hints at No Delay in Scrapping Title 42. A dozen Democrats have urged
for a comprehensive plan to address the expected influx of migrants at the southern border before the Biden administration
ends Title 42 expulsions. The White House said on April 20 it's "planning and preparing for the end" of the Trump-era
public health order, which was implemented amid the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020 and has since been rejecting
asylum-seekers at U.S. borders. The ongoing migrant expulsions policy is set to expire on May 23 under the Biden
administration, as press secretary Jennifer Psaki said current funding levels will not meet the needs of law enforcement
agencies once Title 42 is lifted. The move sparked outrage among Republicans and a growing list of Democrats, including
those in tough races for November midterms seeking reelections or other positions, are breaking up with Biden on the reversal.
How America Became
La La Land. America these last 14 months resembles a dystopia. It is becoming partly the world of George
Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four, partly the poet Homer's land of the Lotus-Eaters. Nothing seems to be
working. And no one in control seems to care. The once secure border of 2020 vanished. Two-million people
have crossed the southern border illegally in the last twelve months. Millions more are on the way. The Biden
Administration unilaterally and simply destroyed existing immigration law. What followed was surreal. The
administration claimed COVID was again on the horizon. So it justified forcing American citizens to keep wearing masks
in public buildings and transportation. But at the same time, it waived all such requirements for illegal entrants.
Citizens who obeyed our laws had to mask up; foreign nationals who broke them did not need to take such precautions.
Joe
Biden, strangling on his own border policies. Joe Biden seems to recognize that he's strangling on his own
border policies, and not for the first time. This time, though, he's looking for a way out. [...] Thus far, nine
Democrats from key swing and border states, who stand to lose their own congressional and Senate seats once the human waves
commence, have signed on to the call to Biden to just stop, change course, do something to avoid the flood of people that's
coming. For Biden, that's a quandary. Of course he wants to let every illegal into the U.S. as the open-borders
lobby calls for. He did that the day he entered office, issuing no-deportations executive orders for his first 100 days,
breaking the U.S. treaty with Mexico signed by President Trump on forcing illegal aliens to wait out their phony claims
for asylum in Mexico, ending bans on migrants from terrorist hellholes, trying to shell out $400,000 payouts to migrants
separated from kids at the border, halting construction of the border wall at great taxpayer cost, and appointing incompetent
Kamala Harris to play border czar, all of which triggered the ongoing border surge.
DHS
answers Congressman's questions about illegal immigration under Biden; answers are terrifying. [Scroll
down] Question 10 asks for information on "Migrants who have unlawfully entered the United States, since January 20,
2021, who (A) were apprehended by CBP" and (B) are included one a list maintained by the Federal Government relating to
terrorists or individuals prohibited from boarding a commercial aircraft." DHS answered: "From January 20, 2021,
through December 31, 2021, U.S. Border Patrol conducted 1,911,942 encounters nationwide to include 1,083,275 Title 42
expulsions and 828,667 Title 8 apprehensions." It noted the same individual can potentially be subject to expulsion under
Title 42 multiple times. As for those on a terror watchlist, CBP Operations "has arrested 42 subjects who were on the
terror watchlist and attempted to enter the United States illegally. These numbers are inclusive of anyone who may be
on the No-Fly List."
Biden's
Smartphones for Illegal Aliens Shouldn't Replace Detention. The announcement that the Biden administration is
giving free smartphones to illegal aliens who recently crossed the border understandably has incensed Americans. It
brings back memories of "Obamaphones." Although the "Bidenphone" has limited functionality and provides better
immigration enforcement awareness than none at all, it underscores the better options of preventing illegal immigration and
detaining those who do enter the country unlawfully. In a nutshell, the Biden administration doesn't want to detain
deportable aliens because it knows that detention is more likely to lead to deportation. The open borders advocates
have access to the same key data as the rest of the public found within the 2020 Department of Homeland Security Enforcement
Lifecycle Report. The open borders crowd knows that if illegal aliens are detained and receive a final order of removal
from an immigration judge, they'll be removed 98% of the time. The same DHS report also shows that unless a deportable
alien is fully detained, 85% of them won't be removed from the U.S.

Governors Create Border Strike Force 'In the Absence of Federal Leadership'. Twenty-six U.S. governors, all
Republican, announced the creation of a Border Strike Force to "disrupt and dismantle transnational criminal organizations"
on April 19. The group of governors signed a memorandum of understanding, pledging to work together to "serve as a
force multiplier to target cartels and criminal networks financially and operationally." "Together, governors will
improve public safety, protect victims from horrific crimes, reduce the amount of drugs in our communities, and alleviate the
humanitarian crisis at the Southern Border," the agreement states. The group includes two border states —
Arizona and Texas — as well as 24 others: Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa,
Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South
Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wyoming.
Ten
Democrats [are] joining Republicans in opposing Biden's plan to end Title 42. Centrist Democrats and those up
for reelection in November may have taken a hint from polls that show the public is upset with the administration's handling
of the border and chosen to inch away from Biden. More than half, 56%, of poll respondents oppose ending Title 42,
according to an April 6 Morning Consult/Politico survey. The results make Biden's decision his "most unpopular decision
so far." The conclusion of Title 42 could create an optics nightmare for Democrats months before voters go to
the polls, as well as a national security concern. Homeland security officials anticipate as many as 18,000 people a day
could be encountered trying to enter the United States in the six weeks after Title 42 ends, far more than the several
thousand encountered per day at present.
Border
Patrol stopped 23 people on terrorist database at southern border in 2021: CBP data. Border Patrol apprehended
at least 23 people coming across the southern border whose names are on the terror watchlist in 2021, according to Customs
and Border Protection (CBP) data obtained by Fox News. Between Jan. 20 and Dec. 27, 2021, there were 23 encounters with
individuals whose names matched on the Terrorist Screening Database (TSDB). Four were in the Rio Grande Valley Sector,
4 in Del Rio Sector, 3 in El Paso Sector, 2 in Tucson Sector, 2 in Yuma Sector, 4 in El Centro Sector and 4 in San Diego
Sector. The information was provided to Fox News in response to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request submitted
in December.
It's
Not Just Joe Biden. The United States Has A Potemkin Government. [Scroll down] These people are
also taking precisely zero action while the United States's sovereignty, safety, and national security are deliberately
sabotaged by a United Nations-assisted stampede over our border that will result in even more social strife and strain on our
chronically ineffective and soon-bankrupt safety nets, not to mention likely terrorist attacks. If they do anything,
it's prattle mindlessly on TV about how immigrants are "part of the fabric of America" when our public schools and other
institutions can't even assimilate native-born Americans and haven't been able to do so for decades, all while these same
people and their friends have ostensibly held power.
What would be the point of impeachment if he had already resigned by then? Asking for Nixon.
Sec.
Mayorkas should 'resign and be impeached' over southern border crisis: Tom Homan. Seven hundred thousand
got-aways since Joe Biden became president. Seven hundred thousand people entered this country illegally and not
arrested. How many of them are in the screening database? Just last month 67,000 got-aways. These aren't
Tom Homan numbers, these are based on camera traffic, drone traffic, and sensor traffic that border patrol records but can't
respond to. Here is what people need to be worried about. After 9/11 we put a lot of processes in place where
terrorists couldn't get into the United States. The Visa Security Program. The no-fly list. The terrorist
screening database. You can't get into this country with any derogatory information at all. You are not getting a
visa and plane ticket. Those processes mean nothing if you can walk across the southwest border unscathed like 700,000
people did. This is a huge issue.
Report:
Biden May Back Down on Ending Title 42 as GOP Sounds Alarm on Illegal Immigration. President Joe Biden is
considering backing down on plans to end the Center for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) Title 42 — the
public health authority that has doubled as a border control measure — as Republican lawmakers head to the United
States-Mexico border to sound the alarm on illegal immigration. On Tuesday [4/19/2022], a source told Axios that Biden
and his top agency officials are considering not following through on their current plans to end the use of Title 42 on
May 23 — a move that they admit could bring a wave of illegal immigration never seen before in American history.
Trump-Endorsed
AZ Gubernatorial Candidate Kari Lake On Securing Southern Border. Arizona Gubernatorial Candidate Kari Lake
recently appeared on Real America with Dan Ball to discuss the invasion of our southern border in Arizona, where thousands
are pouring into our country each day. The Gateway Pundit reported that massive waves of illegal immigrants are preparing
to storm the southern border when Joe Biden ends the Trump-era Title 42 on May 23. 18,000 people per day or
over 500,000 per month are expected to invade the United States. Many of these people are dangerous criminals and
victims of human trafficking.
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.
Arrests
of Illegal Aliens at the Border Surge to More Than 220,000 in March. The number of illegal aliens arrested at
the border in March hit 221,303 — the highest yet number of arrests at the border during the Biden presidency.
That's 28% higher than March 2021 when 173,277 migrants were encountered. In March 2020, just 34,460 illegals were
arrested at the border. The number of illegals arrested at the border in March surpasses any single month during all
of 2021. There were 219,953 illegals arrested at the border in July 2021.
The Editor says...
Those numbers don't include the tens of thousands who escaped detection and capture. Yet somehow "The number of illegal
aliens in the U.S." remains unchanged at 11 million, like some immutable constant. It is a lie: Apparently the
government lies about the numbers and the news media passes it along without question.
TX
Sheriff: Border Patrol Told Me to Be Ready for Ports of Entry Being Overrun, 'We're Talking about' Deputies in 'Riot
Gear'. During a portion of an interview with NBC News aired on Monday's [4/18/2022] edition of "NBC Nightly
News," Hidalgo County, TX Sheriff Eddie Guerra (D) urged the Biden administration to reconsider its decision to rescind Title 42
and said that Border Patrol told him to have his officers ready in case ports of entry are overwhelmed and this means "deputies
dressed in their riot gear with their shields and their helmets and batons to keep the crowd at bay." NBC News Correspondent
Julia Ainsley introduced her interview with Guerra by saying, "Migrants who cross through the Rio Grande Valley come through this
bus station in downtown McAllen. And officials here worry that if the numbers get too high, it could overwhelm the bus
station, the shelters, leaving people with nowhere to go and sleeping on the street."
Democrats
desert Biden over looming border disaster. Centrist Democrats and those up for reelection in November are
taking a hint from polls that show the public is upset with the administration's handling of the border, urging them to inch
away from President Joe Biden. Over the past several weeks, seven Senate Democrats have come out against the Biden
administration's plan to terminate Title 42, a pandemic public health authority used to turn away the majority of illegal
immigrants who come across the southern border. Biden announced earlier this month that Title 42 would be rescinded on
May 23. In the two years that it has been in effect, the United States has expelled 1.6 million people through the
authority, though some were turned away more than once. But homeland security officials anticipate as many as 18,000 people a day
could be encountered trying to enter the U.S. in the six weeks after Title 42 ends. The possibility is both an optics
nightmare for Democrats and a national security concern.
Mexican Cartels Fly 9,000
Drone Flights into U.S. to Surveil Law Enforcement Operations. Mexican drug cartels have conducted more than
9,000 drone flights into U.S. airspace in the last year to surveil American law enforcement and security operations in the
southern border region, a senior Homeland Security official told Judicial Watch this week. The drones are observing
federal, state, county, and city agencies near the Mexican border, including the U.S. Border Patrol, Texas Department of
Public Safety, Texas National Guard, county sheriffs and local police. The Border Patrol, which operates under Customs
and Border Protection (CBP), has captured about a dozen of the drones, and accessed the Unmanned Aerial Vehicles' (UAVs)
guidance and memory systems to gain intelligence information, according to a high-level official at the agency.
Biden
Releases 756K Border Crossers, Population Larger than Boston, into American Communities Since Taking Office.
President Joe Biden's administration has released more than 750,000 border crossers and illegal aliens, a foreign population
larger than the population of Boston, Massachusetts, into the United States since taking office in January 2021, a court
brief confirms. The brief, dated April 14 and filed in the Supreme Court by Stephen Miller's America First Legal
Foundation, details the extent to which Biden's Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has put its Catch and Release network
into overdrive in just a little over 12 months.
Biden
White House on track to make deportations a thing of the past. Earlier this month, Immigration and Customs
Enforcement (ICE) issued a memo to prosecutors that gives them the discretion to dismiss deportation cases that they deem to
be a low priority, putting the agency more in line with Joe Biden's immigration agenda. The memo encourages ICE
attorneys to dismiss deportation cases against illegal aliens and other non-citizens if they, for example, have already been
living in the United States for a long period of time, do not pose a national security threat, or do not pose any public
safety threat. [...] In sum, Biden wants the public to believe these actions will make the immigration system fairer and more
efficient. However, actions speak louder than words, and a cursory look at what the Biden administration has done thus
far reveals what this memo is really meant to be — the latest move to effectively abolish ICE without having to
actually abolish ICE.
Third
Bus of Migrants Arrives in DC from Texas. A third bus with migrants arrived in Washington, D.C., on Friday and
unloaded near Union Station, just blocks from the U.S. Capitol, following orders from Texas Governor Greg Abbott. "On
April 6, Gov. Abbott ordered the Texas Division of Emergency Management to prepare buses to transport DHS-released
migrants on a voluntary basis from their drop-off location to Washington, D.C.," reported Breitbart News' Bob Price.
Border
Patrol says that a record 221,303 migrants were encountered at the Southern border in March. A new record for
border encounters was set last month, new data shows, as the Biden administration readies to end the Trump-era pandemic
restrictions in a move critics say will result in a surge in illegal crossings from Mexico. Former acting ICE director
Tom Homan on Friday night accused Joe Biden of doing 'nothing' to deal with the issue, and pointed out that more people had
died making the journey under Biden than any president he could recall. 'The Biden administration keeps saying the Trump
policies are inhumane,' he told Fox News's Sean Hannity. 'Let me be clear on this. More migrants have died under the
first year of Joe Biden on U.S. soil than any year I can remember. 'A record number — more migrants are dying
under Joe Biden, and over 100,000 Americans have died over overdose deaths of fentanyl comes across that southwest border.
How
History Will View the Biden Years. [Scroll down] Biden immediately dismantled many of former President
Donald Trump's border security policies. That's not surprising from a Democratic politician. But Biden had no
replacement plan. He took down policies that were working and didn't bother to put in place any plan of his own to
secure the border. When the predictable crisis followed, the Biden team's first reaction was to pretend that everything
was fine; there was no crisis. When you have the majority of the media on your team, you can try audacious explanations
like that, but it was too much. Like the CNN reporter proclaiming riot cities "mostly peaceful" in a camera shot with
burning buildings in the background, there's a level of political spin that will just never work. Following an election
where many Democrats openly advocated for open borders and decriminalizing illegal border crossing, the political blame for
the crisis at the border landed squarely in the president's lap.
Buses
Arriving in DC With Illegal Aliens Blow up One of Biden's Biggest Lies and Leave the WH Babbling. Texas
Gov. Greg Abbott proved that he wasn't just fooling around or pulling a publicity stunt when he told Joe Biden that if
he continued on his path of allowing illegal aliens to stream into Texas, he, Abbott, would be shipping some of the people to
Washington, D.C. for Biden to have to deal with. He made good on that promise, with the first buses showing up in D.C.
this week. Abbott said that Texas towns are just not able to deal with the huge influx anymore. [...] But Fox picked up
on something interesting — the people getting off the first bus were mostly single adult males. Remember
when the Biden team claimed that single adult males were mostly being expelled under Title 42 and the people allowed to stay
were largely families and children? The tale of the bus tells something different. [Tweet]
Liberal
2022 candidates come out against Biden's repeal of Title 42, slam admin for 'lack of a plan'. Democrats
candidates in the midterm elections are joining in the criticism that the Biden administration doesn't have a OK plan to end
enforcement of the federal law known as Title 42, used during the pandemic to migrants and COVID-19 out of the U.S. Texas
Democratic gubernatorial candidate Beto O'Rourke hit at the administration for what he considers failing to come up with a
plan for border communities to deal with the expected surge in immigration by ending Title 42 enforcement. "It does not
make sense to end this until there is a real plan and the capacity in place to handle those and address those that come over,
he told the Texas Tribune on Tuesday. "We have yet to hear a plan from the Biden administration to address the dynamic
we will have on the border once Title 42 ends."
The
First Busload Full Of Illegals From Texas Are Dumped Just Blocks From The Capitol In DC. A bus from Texas
arrived in Washington, D.C. Wednesday morning, transporting dozens of illegal immigrants as part of Texas Gov. Greg
Abbott's new plan to counter federal immigration policies during an ongoing border crisis. The bus pulled up at
approximately 8 a.m. local time, blocks away from the U.S. Capitol building. Fox News has learned that they came from
the Del Rio sector in Texas, after coming to the U.S. from Colombia, Cuba, Nicaragua, and Venezuela. Upon the bus's
arrival in Washington, D.C., individuals disembarked one by one except for family units who exited together.
Majorities
see Biden's latest border order as huge mistake. President Joe Biden's plan to lift Title 42, the pandemic
edict allowing for the blanket expulsion of migrants entering the United States at the southern border, lacks support from
not only Republicans but also the majority of independents and a significant number of Democrats across the country.
The administration announced April 1 that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention would lift the Trump-era order
starting May 23, allowing for the normal processing of refugee asylum requests inside the U.S. The administration has
repeatedly stated that the order is a "public health" measure meant to stop the spread of COVID-19, as opposed to what some
left-wing activists have described as a cruel immigration restriction put in place by Biden's predecessor.
Biden
[is] Rolling Out the Welcome Mat for Illegal Migrants. Illegal border crossers will no longer be treated like
criminals but more like customers. The president's fiscal budget, presented March 28, cuts funding for Immigration and
Customs Enforcement by 8 percent despite an expected surge in migrants and reduces detention beds. Meanwhile,
Mr. Biden's increasing funding for a speedier service for migrants entering the country illegally, with more flights and
ground transportation. Kind of like a travel agency. As of late May, Customs and Border Protection officials will
not be able to send back migrants using Title 42, a legal tool devised to limit immigration during Covid. Illegal
immigration is predicted to surge to 18,000 people a day. Biden isn't planning to deter it, only to accommodate it.
There will be no punishment for sneaking into the country, or what the White House prefers to call "irregular" immigration.
To
Secure The Border, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott Should Shut It Down. Amid the churn of recent headlines about
inflation and the war in Ukraine, you might have missed what's happening right now on the southwest border — not
the ongoing border crisis, but something very much related to it. For the past few days, commercial traffic between the
United States and Mexico has ground to a halt. On Monday [4/11/2022], Mexican truckers blocked north and southbound
lanes on the Mexico side of the Pharr-Reynosa International Bridge in Pharr, Texas. They did it to protest Texas
Gov. Greg Abbott's decision last week to order state troopers to inspect all northbound commercial trucks, something
usually done by federal authorities. The state inspections immediately caused massive delays at ports of entry all
along the border, triggering a second protest by truckers waiting to cross into El Paso on Monday afternoon, with trucks
blocking both northbound and southbound lanes in Juarez.
Biden's
Radical Open Borders Policies Prompt Pushback. President Joe Biden is about to blow open the floodgates on
illegal immigration at the border, and the governor of Texas is vowing to push back. "To help local officials whose
communities are being overwhelmed by hordes of illegal immigrants who are being dropped off by the administration, Texas is
providing charter buses to send these illegal immigrants who have been dropped off by the Biden administration to Washington,
D.C.," Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said at a Wednesday press conference. That may not resolve the issue, but at least
it sends a message to Washington that this is a Washington-caused crisis that's becoming intolerable for beleaguered border
states. In response to the Texas governor, a White House spokesman said that "enforcement of our country's immigration
laws lies with the federal government, not a state." At this point, however, "enforcement" seems like a poor choice of a
word for describing what the Biden administration is doing at the border.
Andy
Biggs: Biden Could Bring 30K Illegal Aliens to U.S. Border Every Day with End of Title 42. Rep. Andy
Biggs (R-AZ) says President Joe Biden could potentially entice 20,000 to 30,000 border crossers and illegal aliens to the
United States-Mexico border every day if he follows through on plans to end the Title 42 public health authority. The
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has announced that Biden will end Title 42 on May 23. The
authority, which serves as a border control measure, has allowed federal immigration officials to quickly return nearly
two million illegal aliens to their native countries over the last two years.
Biden
Admin Slows Migrant Drop-Offs in Texas After Governor Orders Them Bused to DC. Texas officials report the Biden
administration stopped dropping off released migrants in many cities across the state following Governor Greg Abbott's order
to start busing them to Washington, D.C. From the Texas Panhandle to the Rio Grande Valley, Texas city officials sent the
State requests for assistance in offering bus transportation for any released migrants who voluntarily want to catch a ride
to the nation's capital. The Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM) dispatched multiple buses to areas where
community leaders expressed concerns about the federal government dropping off migrants in their cities, TDEM spokesman Seth
Christensen said in a written statement. He said Texas "has the capability to send as many [buses] as necessary to
fulfill the requests from mayors and county judges."
Psaki
says no to free smartphones, paid monthly plans for US citizens, only for illegal immigrants. White House press
secretary Jen Psaki deflected from answering a question by Fox News reporter Peter Doocy during her press briefing on Friday
[4/8/2022] when he asked her if the Biden administration will give Americans smartphones since they are providing them to
illegal immigrants in order to track them. Doocy asked if the administration had a "plan to give free smartphones to
U.S. citizens" as they have reportedly been freely handing them out to those illegally entering the U.S. "Should we not
be tracking migrants who irregularly cross the border?" Psaki asked, expertly avoiding the question. "Well, it'd be
great if anybody that wanted a free phone and a free monthly plan could get one," Doocy sarcastically told her. "So is
that going to be an offer for everybody or just people that walk into the country illegally?"
Will
Joe Biden Bring the U.S. Down With Him? Many of Biden's gaffes and much of his political mischief fit
seamlessly into the Democrat plan for the nation. [...] The situation on the southern border is an avowed catastrophe, for
which the clueless Kamala Harris has taken much of the blame. She has been roundly condemned for failing in her duty to
attend to the security breach, which was her remit, when it should have been obvious that abandoning border security was the
purpose all along. Doing nothing, she did her job. Biden's recent announcement ending the Title 42 Illegal
Immigration Rule, which forced the return of more than half of illegal immigrants, is proof positive of the Democrats'
abiding intention to destabilize the nation.
Has Biden
become expendable? Why are the media suddenly attacking the president when they supported many of his policies
during the 2020 primaries? [...] The corrupt media called President Trump's border fence "racist" while praising Biden's
promise to provide free health care for anyone crossing the southern border illegally. With such a generous and
rewarding immigration policy, the media knew that the southern border would see an explosion of illegal
crossings — and so there was. As illegal entries hit record levels, murder, drug crimes, and sex crimes
skyrocketed in the border states. Suddenly, Biden's border policy was being criticized by the propaganda media.
They were all in until things started collapsing.
Texas
governor's plan to bus illegals to Washington D.C is amusing, but not practical. Homeland Security reported that
more than 2.5 million illegal immigrants crossed the southern border since Biden took over. The Title 42 policy,
that President Trump implemented during the pandemic, empowers border officials quickly to expel migrants on health grounds.
Under Biden, that will be terminated on May 23. The migrant caravans are now massing in Central America and Mexico,
and would-be illegals have told the press they are tightly focused on that day. Once the surge of migrants makes it in the
states, the migrants are then transported to poor and working-class neighborhoods. The result is that working-class
citizens either lose their jobs, or else face depressed wages because the migrants often work off the books for less than
the minimum wage and don't pay taxes. Resources such as hospitals, law enforcement, and fire services that are meager
in working-class areas, are already overburdened. Free spaces such as pavement and parks that are occupied by
migrants are rendered unhygienic.
No
Matter If Title 42 Stays Or Goes, A Massive Migrant Influx Is Coming. It's a well-established fact that the
U.S. border crisis began shortly after President Joe Biden assumed office and rescinded most of former President Donald
Trump's border security policies. Now, Biden and his team are working to remove one of the last lines of defenses left
over from the Trump administration's border policy toolbox. Two years ago under Trump, the Centers for Disease Control
instituted a public health order called Title 42 to expedite the expulsion of illegal border crossers during the Covid-19
pandemic. The policy was designed to prevent overcrowding in border facilities, which policymakers feared would lead to
the rapid spread of Covid-19 along the border.
'It's
a gimmick': [Governor] Abbott['s] plan to bus illegal immigrants to D.C. [is] slammed for being voluntary.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott grabbed headlines Wednesday by promising to put illegal immigrants on charter buses and send them
to Washington, D.C., in response to the Biden administration rescinding Title 42. At a press conference announcing this
"unprecedented" step, the Republican governor painted a picture of Texas National Guard soldiers being sent to the border in
riot gear to herd migrants onto these buses, which outraged migrant and open-borders advocates. Many conservatives and
border hawks cheered Abbott's actions, but new details of the plan released by the governor's office once the TV cameras were
put away show his order is much less impactful than it would at first appear. Specifically, a press release from Abbott
clarifies that the trip to D.C. will be voluntary for illegal immigrants.
Leaked
DHS Document Reveals Biden's Mass-Migration Plan Offers 'Broadscale Release Mechanisms'. The Department of
Homeland Security is disseminating a mass migration plan devoid of removal mechanisms to replace the soon-to-end CDC Title 42
emergency order. The plan predicts that DHS traditional processing capabilities will be overwhelmed and require an
increase in the use of "broadscale release mechanisms." The plan, reviewed by Breitbart Texas, acknowledges the end of
Title 42 will likely result in a surge in illegal migration along the southwest border. The increase is already
manifesting itself as apprehensions rise. In March, Border Patrol agents apprehended more than 200,000 migrants.
Migrants
are being handed cell phones so ICE can keep track of them. Republicans want Texas to declare an 'invasion' at
the southern border to give permissions for state troopers and National Guard members to turn back migrants as the country
braces for Title 42 to end next month. Immigration enforcement is giving migrants who are released into the U.S.
smartphones with tracking apps installed so they can keep track of released illegal immigrants. Parole release migrants
are being released into the country and are asked to turn themselves into Immigration and Customs Enforcement in a city of
their choice and are being given government phones to track them.
Hundreds
of Ukrainian refugees are crammed into temporary camps at the Mexico border. Hundreds of Ukrainian refugees who
fled to Mexico are sitting in a makeshift refuge at a Tijuana sports center as they wait to enter the United States,
authorities said today [4/5/2022]. The facility was converted into a government shelter after some 400 Ukrainians — about
30 percent of whom are children — arrived to the northern Mexican city over the weekend. Images show those who have
fled the devastating scenes in Ukraine sleeping on the floor and waiting with their belonging — including arrays of food
supplies, blankets and children's toys — strewn around tents and sleeping mats.
Thousands
of desperate Ukrainians fleeing Putin's invasion pile into Mexican shelters and wait to enter America. In the
past week the number of Ukrainian refugees waiting in Mexico to seek asylum in the U.S. has swelled from hundreds to
thousands, after the Biden administration agreed to accept 100,000 this year. Many sleep on the ground in a gymnasium
converted into a makeshift shelter in Tijuana, a suitcase containing their life's possessions beside them. They await
their number to be called out, when they will get the opportunity to a border agent in hopes of being granted humanitarian
parole and allowed into the U.S. Despite the surge in refugees, only about 150 are being allowed into the U.S. each day
due to Customs and Border Patrol staff stretched thin. Entrances are expected to speed up in the coming days.
Texas
Gov. Greg Abbott to send buses of migrants to DC ahead of surge. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott ordered state
troopers on Wednesday to begin stopping and inspecting commercial vehicles coming across the U.S-Mexico border and said bus
charters would be offered to take illegal migrants to Washington, D.C., in a dig at President Biden and Congress. With
only seven weeks to go until the Biden administration lifts the Title 42 immigration order, Abbott announced multiple
measures to protect his state and combat the massive influx of migrants anticipated to cross the border this spring.
"To help local officials — because communities are being overwhelmed by hordes of illegal immigrants who are being
dropped off by the Biden Administration — Texas is providing charter buses for these illegal immigrants who have
been dropped off to Washington, D.C.," the Republican governor said Wednesday [4/6/2022].
Texas
Governor Greg Abbott Announces He Will Use Charter Buses to Send Illegal Immigrants to Washington D.C.. Texas
Governor Greg Abbott will begin to use charter buses to ship illegal immigrants to Washington, D.C., as part of his strategy
for the overwhelming influx of illegal immigrants. Governor Abbott held a press conference today concerning Texas'
border security efforts in response to the Biden admin's decision to drop Title 42 at the border on May 23.
Joe Biden announced that he plans to drop a Trump-era order blocking asylum seekers at the U.S. border on May 23.
Title 42 was used by President Trump in 2020 to expel migrants seeking asylum during the Covid pandemic.
Greg
Abbott Announces Major 'Charter Bus' Policy for Illegals Dumped in Texas. Republican governors have been
complaining for months about how the Biden administration has been transporting illegal immigrants into their states,
sometimes in the dead of night when they think no one is watching, and dumping them in areas that have already been deluged
by the influx of illegal immigrants who made it across the border as the result of President Biden's disastrous open borders
policy. For instance, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' public safety czar Larry Keefe pointed out back in November that
they had discovered the Biden administration had been flying illegal immigrants into the state under the cover of
darkness. Keefe also said that when he reached out to the DHS and the DOJ find out who issued the directive, no answer
was given. DeSantis made a vow at the time to begin using charter buses to send them to Biden's home state of Delaware.
Joe
Biden's hidden amnesty is already underway. As Joe Biden asks Congress to formally grant amnesty to millions of
illegal aliens, his administration has already created a sort of hidden amnesty that could accomplish his extremist
immigration agenda without congressional approval. Last year the Biden administration resettled more than 146,000
unaccompanied alien children (UACs) into the U.S., a number larger than the population of many U.S. cities. These
numbers are alarmingly high, especially considering the lax vetting standards we've seen under Biden. According to data
from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the Biden administration has lost track of nearly 20,000 of these
illegal aliens. Losing track of 20,000 illegal border crossers demonstrates a shocking amount of negligence, even by
the low standards of this administration. It also shows that the Biden administration is committed to the cause of
amnesty, even if that means quietly resettling illegal aliens without the permission of Congress.
Miles
of border [are] left unguarded as [the] Border Patrol struggles with surge. The Border Patrol's Del Rio sector
covers 240 miles of the U.S.-Mexico border. There are days when not a single agent is actually guarding the line, said
Jon Anfinsen, president of the National Border Patrol Council's Del Rio chapter. "We've had days with no agents
patrolling whatsoever. Those that are out there are doing transportation duties, picking up groups that are turning
themselves in, or doing processing," Mr. Arfinsen told Republican members of Congress on Monday [4/4/2022].
Already
stretched thin, border agents must now use politically correct pronouns under new edict. Battered by COVID-19,
waves of illegal immigrants and fears of even larger surges ahead, Customs and Border Protection officers have a new burden:
they must now be sure to use proper pronouns for LGBTQI+ migrants. The new requirement was included Thursday at the
bottom of a much larger announcement by the Homeland Security Department concerning changes instituted on International Trans
Day of Visibility. "Facilitating effective communication at U.S. ports of entry and beyond: CBP has provided a
job aid and memorandum to all staff that will serve as a guide for facilitating effective communication with the diverse
public CBP serves, including LGBTQI+ individuals," the agency said.
Biden
administration tells ICE prosecutors to dismiss cases of migrants who didn't cross border recently. The White
House is instructing federal immigration prosecutors to consider dismissing older cases of immigrants who are not public
safety threats as the administration braces for massive influx of migrations at the southern border once the pandemic-era
Title 42 ends next month. An internal memo issued on Monday to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) prosecutors
was obtained by BuzzFeed News, and details the latest effort from President Joe Biden's administration to reshape the
immigration system. The guidance was written by chief ICE attorney Kerry Doyle, a Biden appointee, was sent to
prosecutors on Monday and represents another attempt by the agency to emphasize the discretion prosecutors have in court and
lower the backlog of cases in immigration court.
Border
state Democrats 'frightened' by Biden's election year Title 42 call. The Biden administration's decision to end
the public health emergency power that permitted the deportation of roughly 1.7 million migrants because of the pandemic is
being questioned by Democrats before the 2022 midterm elections. The decision to end Title 42 in May, which the White
House has repeatedly attributed to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, coincides with an anticipated worst-case-scenario
surge of up to 18,000 border crossings a day as migrants take advantage of warmer weather before the fall elections.
McCarthy:
Biden 'abdicated his responsibilities at our border' with Title 42 repeal. House Republican Leader Kevin
McCarthy on Friday accused President Biden of having "abdicated his responsibilities" at the southern border and making the
ongoing migrant crisis worse after the administration announced that it is lifting the Title 42 public health order.
"Today's decision confirms that President Biden has abdicated his responsibilities at our borders and is actively working to
make the border crisis worse," McCarthy said in a statement. "From day one of his administration, he has failed to
protect our nation's security and to secure the border." The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) on Friday announced that
it will be terminating the Title 42 public health policy, that has been used by both the Trump and Biden administrations to
quickly expel migrants at the southern border since the start of the COVID-19 outbreak, on May 23.
Biden opens the Title
42 gates — prepare for madness. As if the border crisis isn't damaging enough, with 2.5 million
illegal migrants having crossed into the United States since Joe Biden took office, now the administration is going to make
it exponentially worse by unwinding the last Trump-era restriction. The Title 42 policy, implemented by the Trump
administration during the pandemic to allow border officials quickly to expel migrants on public health grounds, will be
terminated next month, the CDC announced Friday [4/1/2022]. Title 42 was the last tool border officials had left to
stem the flow of illegal migration from more than 150 countries across the southern border. Now, they are anticipating a
doubling or tripling of numbers to as many as 18,000 a day. We know what that means. More secret migrant flights
fanning out from the southern border to a town near you.
Biden
Administration Announces May 23rd as Trigger Date for Open Border Migration. As millions of global economic
migrants have been flooding into Central America and Mexico, awaiting the official date for the U.S. Southern border gates to
be removed allowing unfettered open border travel, the people behind Joe Biden have announced May 23rd will be the official
open border date. Officially known as the Title-42 border control effort, the prior CDC determination that blocked
cross border travel based on the COVID-19 pandemic, the restriction will be removed effective May 23rd. There are
millions of global migrants backed-up below the southern U.S. border awaiting the change. While many voices within the
professional political class will deny the removal of Title-42 will result in a totally open border, those who operate the
collapsing process of border security have noted it will be impossible to legally process all of the entrants, and the Biden
administration have signaled they have no intent to turn anyone away for any reason.
Donald
Trump says US will be 'deluged by illegal immigration' after Biden drops Title 42 border restrictions. Donald
Trump blasted President Joe Biden's repeal of a pandemic-era border restriction at a rally Saturday night — claiming the
decision will result in a 'deluge of illegal immigration.' The former president claimed at his Save America rally in
Michigan that he had the 'most secure border in the history of our nation,' but warned that with Biden's ''foolhardy' repeal
of Title 42, 'We will be deluged by illegal immigration.' 'We're being invaded by millions and millions of people,'
Trump added, claiming that '10 to 12 million people' would flood the country if Title 42 were to be repealed — adding
on to what he said has been the 'largest number of illegal immigrants' entering the country.
Joe
Biden [will] Open the Border on May 23. President Joe Biden's deputies have announced they will lift the Title 42
barrier at the southern border on May 23, allowing a vast wave of wage-cutting, rent-spiking migrants into America's job and
housing markets. "We are increasing our capacity to process new arrivals, evaluate asylum requests," said a statement from
Alejandro Mayorkas, who heads Biden's Department of Homeland Security and is trying to build an extra immigration system that
operates alongside annual limits set by Congress. The formal announcement implies that the president will not block the
border-opening plan by his deputies.
The Editor says...
Who came up with the plan — the "deputies," or the alleged President? Who is really in charge of the Executive Branch?
Border
Patrol Has Already Picked Up 1 Million Illegals in 2022. According to a source within U.S. Customs and Border
Protection, Border Patrol agents have already apprehended more than one million illegal aliens in the southwest sectors in
Fiscal Year 2022. The benchmark was reportedly reached on Thursday, the source told Breitbart News. [...] Another growing
problem is the number of "migrants" from Cuba. In February, roughly 16,550 Cubans were apprehended along the southwest
border — a spike of more than 300 percent, compared to February 2021. Moreover, fewer than 100 of the 16,550
Cubans arrested in February were ordered out of the country, per the Remain in Mexico program. As those interested in
such things — that should be all of us — might recall, Biden formally ended the
Remain in Mexico program in June 2021, after suspending it earlier in the year.
Get
Ready for a Border Surge the Likes of Which Our Country Has Never Seen. Open borders advocates —
including those who serve in the Biden administration and on Capitol Hill — have been demanding that President
Biden end Title 42 since the day he took office during a full-blown pandemic. Title 42 is a public health provision
that was invoked by the Trump administration in 2020 at the onset of the COVID pandemic, allowing for the expedited removal
of people crossing our borders illegally. While it is impossible to quantify a negative, it is reasonable to assume
that preventing significant numbers of people traveling in large groups and coming from countries where vaccination rates
were low to nonexistent, saved a lot of lives. Despite its success, many in the Biden administration have always viewed
Title 42 not as an essential public health policy, but an obstacle to mass migration.
The
border: 'No imaginable scenario' to avoid another disaster. The chief of the U.S. Border Patrol, Raul Ortiz,
recently said his officers have encountered 1 million illegal border crossers in the first six months of fiscal year 2022 —
that is, since Oct. 1, 2021. That is a big increase over fiscal year 2021, when there were 1.734 million encounters
in the entire year. And that was a big increase over fiscal year 2020, during the pandemic, when there were 458,000 encounters,
and fiscal year 2019, when there were 977,000 encounters, which was a record high at the time. Now, with 1 million in just
the first half of the year, and with the peak migration months not yet begun, the Border Patrol is overwhelmed.
Obama's
DHS Secretary Calls Biden Border Crisis 'Unsustainable'. How bad is Joe Biden's border crisis? It's so
bad that Barack Obama's former Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson called it "unsustainable" on MSNBC Wednesday
[3/30/2022]. A day earlier, the Department of Homeland Security reported that they were anticipating 18,000 illegal
immigrant encounters daily — especially after Title 42 is removed. "The border is a tough issue. I am
waiting to see when and if they drop Title 42 for the southern border. It is the, frankly, a way to keep the numbers
down, although these numbers are pretty high," said Johnson.
Biden's
border surge plan is worse than it looks. Joe Biden knows there's a border surge coming. He's expected to
drop Title 42 COVID restrictions on illegal entrants as of May 23 and the human waves are expected to at least double from
what was seen last year. Some two to three million illegal border crossers are forecast to make landfall in the United
States and with no fear of deportation, and establish themselves here permanently. Right now, in just one Texas
corridor, at Eagle Pass, some 7,000 illegal border crossers from 157 countries are rolling through daily. That number
is expected to soar to 18,000 a day once Title 42 is gone.
Now
even Democrats urge Biden not to drop Title 42: Senators warn there isn't a proper plan in place for 'mass migrant event' on
May 23. Now Democrats are coming out against President Joe Biden ending Title 42, breaking with the party by
claiming the administration doesn't have any alternatives in place to quell the impending mass migration influx. New
Hampshire Senator Maggie Hassen tweeted Wednesday [3/30/2022]: 'I am concerned that there is not a sufficient plan in place
to address the steep increase in border crossings that could result from this reported decision.' 'This preemptive repeal
threatens border security at a time when the administration should be focused on strengthening it,' she added.
Illegal
immigrant population soars to 11.4 million. The number of illegal immigrants in the U.S. soared by more than 1
million last year, reaching 11.4 million as of this January, according to new research released Tuesday that puts new
contours on the border chaos under President Biden. The surge is the largest in two decades and is among the largest
single-year increases in U.S. history, said Steven A. Camarota of the Center for Immigration Studies, the lead researcher who
wrote the paper. He used Census Bureau numbers to calculate the trajectory of the unauthorized population, figuring
there were about 11.5 million in January 2019, that figure plummeted to 10.2 million by the start of 2021, then soared to
11.4 million at the start of this year.
The Editor says...
In my opinion, the illegal alien population in the U.S. is probably around 30 million, but the news media has been saying "11 million" for at least the
last 20 years,
regardless of how many record-breaking months of illegal entry we've seen.
Border
State Democrats Beg Biden: 'Consider Dangerous Impact' Illegal Immigration Has on Our Communities. More elected
Democrats, representing America's border communities, are pleading with President Joe Biden to enforce Trump-era border
controls to protect their constituents from a massive wave of illegal immigration. On Wednesday [3/30/2022], Biden
officials spoke anonymously to the Associated Press, revealing that the administration has plans to end the Center for
Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) Title 42 order that gives federal immigration agents broad authority to quickly return
border crossers and illegal aliens to their native countries.
Just
in time for midterms, Joe Biden sets off the mother of migrant surges. The U.S. Border Patrol expects a record
surge of migrants from 157 countries crossing our border illegally with most presenting spurious claims to "asylum." [...]
Joe Biden has set the conditions for an even bigger surge — on two fronts. One is in his executive order to
replace immigration judges with newly created "asylum officers" brought in from the NGO open-borders ranks, to make decisions
on asylum claims. These are people you can bet will rubber stamp all asylum claims, regardless of what the law
says. The second incentivizer is in Biden's expected decision to scrap Title 42, an erratically employed executive
order that allows Border Patrol agents to deport back illegal crossers on COVID concerns. Based on the numbers of
COVID-spreading migrants [...], it's pretty obvious that that order was only used on some migrants. Now, it won't be
used on any of them if the rule is rescinded on May 23, which seems likely following whatever recommendation the CDC puts out
as its de facto union masters direct.
Biden
administration to scrap Title 42 border policy by May 23 despite warnings: reports. The Biden administration is
planning to scrap a Trump-era public health policy restricting illegal immigration by May 23 — despite repeated
warnings from Democratic lawmakers who represent border states, according to multiple reports. White House director of
communications Kate Bedingfield did not confirm the plans reported by CNN and the Associated Press when asked by reporters
Wednesday [3/30/2022], referring the matter to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. "Title 42 is a public
health directive," Bedingfield said. "It is not an immigration or migration enforcement measure." "We have every
expectation that when the CDC ultimately decides it's appropriate to lift Title 42, there will be an influx of people to the
border," Bedingfield added. "And so we are doing a lot of work to plan for that contingency."
Biden
Administration to Lift Title 42 Border Policy Allowing Immediate Deportation. The Biden administration will end
the Title 42 public health order that allows border agents to immediately expel illegal border crossers, according to
multiple reports. The order was initially handed down under the Trump administration in the early days of the Covid
pandemic, and renewed by the Biden administration in August 2021. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will
order an end to the Title 42 policy this week, people familiar with the plans told the Wall Street Journal and the
New York Times. A draft of the new order reviewed by the Journal states that "there is no longer a serious danger"
that migrants could spread Covid in border detention facilities.
DHS
preparing for unprecedented Title 42 border rush of up to 18,000 migrants per day. A couple of weeks ago we
learned there was concern within the Biden administration that Title 42, which allows the border patrol to quickly remove
immigrants on health grounds, might be allowed to expire this week. And if that were to happen there was concern that
the already high numbers of migrants at the border would spike. The situation was worrisome enough that
Sens. Sinema and Kelly of Arizona sent a letter asking to see the Biden administration's plan for dealing with the
potential crisis that could unfold if Title 42 were to abruptly end.
50
people flee from semi-truck in McClain County. Authorities are investigating after dozens of people jumped out
of the back of a semi-truck during a traffic stop. On Monday night [3/28/2022], law enforcement attempted to pull over
a semi-truck near I-35 and Hwy 59 in McClain County. When the truck pulled over, officials with the Oklahoma Highway
Patrol say between 50 and 75 people jumped out of the truck. At this point, investigators believe the people are
undocumented immigrants.
The Editor says...
Hmmm. Yes, they might be "undocumented immigrants," also known as illegal aliens. Brilliant
deduction, Sherlock — particularly since nobody else acts like that.
The Sheer Madness
of Today's Left. The southern border since late January 2021, for all intents and purposes, has ceased to
exist. That is unless we are talking about Cuban and Russian refugees who seem to the Left to be too politically
independent to embrace as victim constituents needing left-wing permanent government patronage. Yet the midterms
loom. One of the most unpopular of Joe Biden's initiatives is his welcoming of nearly 2 million impoverished,
unvaccinated, unaudited, and untested illegal immigrants to cross the southern border. By any fair measure, Biden
deliberately violated his oath of office by failing to enforce U.S. immigration laws. Political agendas outweighed his
own promises to uphold the sanctity of federal law. Yet he fears polls. Of all the Biden failures, the southern
border and illegal immigration seem to infuriate Americans of all persuasions the most.
Biden Is Failing
in the Courtroom, Too. [O]n immigration, Biden, his agencies, and his policies have been getting clobbered in
federal courts across the land. Since his inauguration, Biden has fared about as well in court as Michael Spinks did
against Mike Tyson in the boxing ring. The latest knockout took place this week, when an Ohio federal district court
granted a preliminary injunction against Biden's orders that prevent U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents
from arresting and deporting most of those in the country illegally. While in office for just over a year, the Biden
Administration has also lost cases on controversies including stimulus checks for aliens, COVID expulsions, H1-B visa fraud,
lawless reentry into the country, the Migrant Protection Protocol's (MPP) "Remain in Mexico" policy, Deferred Action for
Childhood Arrivals, and removal orders for illegal aliens.
As
Midterms Approach, Dems Suddenly Want More Border Security. As encounters at the southern border continue to
increase, and midterm elections approach, Democrats seem to be shifting their messaging on border security. The Daily
Wire's Ben Johnson joined Georgia Howe and John Bickley for Thursday's episode of "Morning Wire" to explain Democrats'
changing strategy on the border. Johnson highlighted President Joe Biden's "surprising" mention of border security
during his "State of the Union" address on March 1. He also mentioned that "the message has filtered down through the
party ranks. The newspaper Roll Call, which covers Capitol Hill, ran a story on Tuesday, titled 'Democrats Emphasize Border
Security as Midterms Loom.'" Democratic House members like Abigail Spanberger (VA) and Elissa Slotkin (MI) are supporting
tighter border security "through technology or by hiring more Border Patrol agents," Johnson said.
Biden
will welcome 100,000 of the 3.6 Million Ukrainian refugees fleeing Putin's war following criticism he wasn't doing
enough. The United States will accept up [to] 100,000 refugees fleeing the war in the Ukraine, the Biden
administration announced on Thursday [3/24/2022]. The announcement came during President Joe Biden's trip to Europe where
he's meeting with leaders of NATO, the G7 and the European Union in three back-to-back emergency sessions to deal with
Russia's invasion of the Ukraine. It's meant to help ease the humantarian criss taking place in Eastern Europe, where
nearly 3.5 million Ukrainians have fled their bombarded country in one of the biggest refugee crisises since World War II.
Refugees have flooded into Europe and some have even made their way to the southern border of the United States, trying to
enter the country that way.
Texas
Dept. of Public Safety Lt.: 'This Year's Going to Be Catastrophic' on the Border and Worse Than 2021. On
Friday's [3/18/2022] broadcast of the Fox Business Network's "Evening Edit," Texas Department of Public Safety
Lt. Christopher Olivarez said that "we thought last year was complete chaos" on the border, but "this year's going to be
catastrophic." And that "we have the most unsecured border that we have seen in decades." Olivarez said, "[A]t this
time, right now, we have the most unsecured border that we have seen in decades. ... Last year, for fiscal year 2021, between
the months of February through October, there were over 397,000 encounters. Now this year alone, fiscal year 2022, same
timeframe, five months, from October through February, over 837,000 encounters. That goes to show you that when we
thought last year was complete chaos, this year's going to be catastrophic. These numbers are going to surpass last
year's numbers. And we need to brace ourselves, but I'm telling you right now... this is a very — national
security threat, not only to the state of Texas, but to the entire country."
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.

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.

Migrants Cross into One West Texas Border Sector in 2 Days. Del Rio Sector Border Patrol agents apprehended
more than 2,000 migrants during a 48-hour period in what is becoming the nation's busiest sector. Del Rio Sector Chief
Patrol Agent Jason D. Owens tweeted photos showing groups of migrants being apprehended after they illegally cross the border
from Mexico into Texas. The chief reported his agents arrested more than 2,000 migrants, including unaccompanied
children, in a 48-hour time frame.
Time
to worry: the Biden government is redefining core principles. [Scroll down] And just yesterday,
Townhall's Spencer Brown caught a significant change to the mission statement for U.S. Citizenship and Immigration
Services: The old version: ["]U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services administers the nation's lawful
immigration system, safeguarding its integrity and promise by efficiently and fairly adjudicating requests for immigration
benefits while protecting Americans, securing the homeland, and honoring our values.["] That's straightforward
enough: America is a nation of laws, some of which govern immigration, and the USCIS is responsible for enforcing those
laws fairly and in a way that protects Americans and America. The new version is much shorter: ["]USCIS
upholds America's promise as a nation of welcome and possibility with fairness, integrity, and respect for all we serve.["]
Suddenly, USCIS is unconcerned with the rule of law and unconcerned with protecting Americans. It is, instead, an organization
that exists to make life easier for the millions of illegal aliens the Biden administration is encouraging to enter America and
then, once they are in America, funding and resettling in districts that willfully refuse to vote for Democrats.
If saving money is the goal, keep them out of the country at the first opportunity. But that's not really the goal.
Biden
is planning on putting single migrant adults caught on the Mexican border under house arrest in Baltimore and
Houston. The Biden administration is looking to place hundreds of migrants under part-time house arrest, as a
cheaper alternative to holding them at detention facilities amid record-high crossings at the U.S.-Mexico border. The
120-day pilot program will begin in Houston and Baltimore, where 100 to 200 single adults placed under house arrest in each
location, according to a notice sent by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and reviewed by Reuters. The
so-called 'home curfew' pilot would cost just $6-8 per day, far less than the $142 daily cost of immigration detention.
The Editor says...
I am in favor of the "home curfew" plan — provided that the "home" is on the other side of the border.
Miranda
Devine On DHS Flying Illegal Migrants: This Just Looks Like A Federal Government "Scam". Fox News
Contributor Miranda Devine discusses DHS flying illegal migrants to different parts of the U.S. in the middle of the night
and who Biden's potential pick to replace Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer: "Last October we went and staked out
Westchester airport after a tipoff that these planes were coming in, and we saw three of them come in. We followed the
buses, we saw that they were disgorging these illegal migrants at one point into a rest stop in New Jersey to be picked up by
supposedly family or so-called sponsors. There didn't seem to be any vetting of these people. I mean, it just
looks like a deliberate scam to get as many people away from the southern border as quickly as possible by the federal
government so that the optics down there don't look terrible. And they are flying them all over the country, as you
said, whether it be California, Louisiana, New York, New Jersey. There are flights going every single day, charter
flights, and it is costing, you know, tens of millions, probably hundreds of millions of dollars. [...]"

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

Team: Kamala eggs on illegal immigrants from Honduras, Joe sneaks them in back home. It's doubtful that
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris like one another, but there seems to be a coordinated effort between the two to bring in more
illegal immigrants to the states, something they are succeding at rather spectacularly. How else do we explain Kamala
Harris's trip to Honduras, to attend the presidential inauguration of radical left-wing presidenta, Xiomara Castro, while Joe
Biden's minions are sneaking in illegals by the thousands away from the cameras and flying them at taxpayer expense to their
destinations of choice? Biden's turned the immigration enforcement agencies into a concierge, valet and taxi service

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

Why does the United States host and support the United Nations, while the UN is actively undermining the U.S.?
On
Crime, You Must Ask The Right Questions To Get Good Answers. Herman Cain was fond of saying that you need to
ask "the Right Questions." His point was simple. If you saw a car slammed into a tree, you didn't worry about what
color it was. [...] In short, you had to consider what was most important at the moment, and then proceed to other questions
only as the more important ones were answered. A classic example of failure to do this was Vice President Harris's
assertion that we had migrants crossing our southern border illegally because of climate change at home. If we assume
that climate change is real and has bad effects, she might be right about it having some minor effect, but there won't be any
migrants who agree with her. They all risked their lives to find a better life in a freer country than they had at
home. The Chief Cackler flunked the first rule by never asking any questions, much less the right ones.
The Editor says...
I have questions for VP Harris: Why would the climate change in every country but the U.S. — so severely that
thousands of people had to move here? Does climate change stop at the Rio Grande? Why can't the climate refugees
stop in Mexico? How did you get your job, and how do you keep it?
The
TSA's stunning admission about how illegal aliens board American planes. In response to a congressman's request
for information based upon a whistleblower's tip, the TSA admitted that illegal aliens are allowed to fly even if the only
identification they have is an arrest warrant or warrant of removal from DHS related to their illegal status. So, while
you're flashing the REAL ID driver's license that was a total pain to obtain, the illegal alien in front of you just shows
his arrest warrant. That'll teach those illegal aliens not to break into our country. [...] Someone who is in the
country illegally shouldn't have the privilege of hopping onto an airplane. Even as Joe Biden has made masks mandatory
and is contemplating forcing vaccines on air travelers, illegal aliens have been flying around America as if they own
it. Once again, leftists are punishing American citizens and legal residents, while at the same time making it clear
that people who are illegally in this country get special treatment. I don't believe that America has ever before
suffered a governing class that despises the people it governs.
Border
Sheriff: 'Extremely Organized' Large Groups of Illegal Aliens Sneaking Through Texas County. Traveling at night
with backpacks and dark clothing, large groups of up to 50 illegal aliens, mostly young men from Mexico, are clandestinely
traversing this small Texas county doing everything possible to avoid getting caught. While small groups have been
crossing the U.S.-Mexico border into Kinney County, Texas, for years, now it's large, well-organized groups that have law
enforcement worried. "It's extremely organized," Kinney County Sheriff Brad Coe told The Epoch Times on Jan. 18.
"And the groups are getting bigger. Even if you run a group of 25 and they get caught, you're tied up, so you can run
your group of 50 and 60 somewhere else. Or you can run your drugs through."
The
Border Crisis Is Bad, But In Mexico A Larger Crisis Looms. [Scroll down] And it's not as simple as
cartels versus the government because the two groups often overlap. Last March, a former mayor of the town of
Aguililla, about 50 miles south of Tepalcatepec, was arrested in Guatemala on a U.S. warrant for allegedly brokering a
$4 million deal on behalf of the United Cartels. The plan was to ship a half-ton of methamphetamine to Florida, hidden
in concrete tiles and house paint. With the assistance of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, the former mayor was
taken into custody in Guatemala City and the drugs in Florida were seized. It was the largest meth seizure in
Miami-Dade County history. Hours after the arrest, CJNG attacked Aguililla in force. According to some reports,
26 people were killed in what amounted to a massacre. Eight of them were decapitated. Cartel violence of this
sort is getting worse in Mexico.
Tim
Perry out as chief of staff at ICE. Timothy Perry is out as chief of staff at ICE amid questions over the
deportation agency's plummeting arrest numbers. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement confirmed his departure but
did not give a reason for the sudden change. One law enforcement source said Mr. Perry was ousted by Homeland
Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas over concern about ICE's enforcement numbers, which show a serious deterioration in the
agency's operations over the last year.
It is as if Cloward and Piven are in charge of the border.
Biden
buries immigration courts in 'avalanche' with 1.6 million pending cases amid border crisis. The number of
immigration cases waiting to be decided in federal court has increased at a faster rate under the Biden administration than
under any other president, according to a report published Tuesday by a nonpartisan research organization. Nearly
1.6 million people have cases pending in the U.S. immigration court system, the most ever recorded in history, according
to the Transnational Records Access Clearinghouse, an affiliate of Syracuse University in New York. The dramatic
increase means illegal immigrants will wait years before having their claims decided, and that is expected to grow worse as
the southern border crisis intensifies. Of the total number of backlogged cases, 305,427 cases were added to the docket
since March 2021, when the number of noncitizens illegally crossing the southern border from Mexico surged to the highest
levels ever seen. The onslaught of cases has buried the fewer than 500 immigration judges nationwide in an "avalanche."
Human
Smugglers Earn $1B from U.S.-Mexico Border in December 2021. Internal U.S. Customs and Border protection
documents reviewed by Breitbart Texas report that human smugglers received up to $1 billion in December 2021 alone. On
average, migrants claimed to have paid smugglers more than $5,000 per person — with more than 170,000 apprehended
in the month. The number is likely much higher considering more than 400,000 migrants are believed to have eluded
Border Patrol apprehension in 2021. The document shows migrants, on average, paid more than $8,000 each to human
traffickers in the San Diego sector. Migrants interviewed in the Del Rio Sector admitted to paying slightly more than
$4,000 per person.

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

Democrats Ask Federal Agencies to Investigate if Texas Migrant Arrests Violate [the US] Constitution.
Democratic members of Congress are asking the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the U.S. attorney general to
investigate whether arrests of migrants violate constitutional rights. Over two dozen Democratic members have joined
together to investigate "legal problems that have arisen out of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's border security initiative to
arrest and jail migrants on state criminal charges" reports Austin's local CBS station. Specifically, the 26 Democrats
sent a letter asking the federal bureaus to investigate Abbott's "catch and jail" immigration policy. The
representatives claim the policy violates the U.S. Constitution because of violations of state law and logistical problems
that have resulted from the thousands of arrests.
The
Investigation of Those "Horrible" Border Patrol Agents on Horses Has Vanished. Way back on Sept. 24, President
Joe Biden finally paid attention to the southern border when he displayed anger at hard-working U.S. Border Patrol agents,
vowing that they "will pay" — for something that did not occur. "It was horrible what — to see,
as you saw — to see people treated like they did: horses nearly running them over and people being strapped.
It's outrageous. I promise you, those people will pay," Biden hyperbolically rambled. "They will be —
an investigation is underway now, and there will be consequences. It's an embarrassment. But beyond an
embarrassment, it's dangerous; it's wrong. It sends the wrong message around the world. It's simply not who we
are." Three days prior, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas told MSNBC, "We need this resolved
swiftly. I anticipate that the results of the investigation will be available by the end of next week and I've
committed to making the results public."
Report:
Joe Biden Releases More than Half a Million Border Crossers into U.S.. More than half a million border crossers
and illegal aliens have been released into the United States interior since January, predominately by President Joe Biden's
administration, newly released data reveals. In a letter to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro
Mayorkas, Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) revealed the extent to which the Biden administration is operating likely the most
expansive Catch and Release process for border crossers and illegal aliens.
This Can't Be
True. This administration is doing real harm to a frighteningly wide swath of people every day, with every new
policy and proclamation. Now there's a new one that could be the most unbelievable thing ever: Progressives want
to give $450K to every illegal alien for the "psychological trauma" all of them suffered from being separated at the border
during the Trump years. Can they be serious? The talk is that this will come about by executive order, bypassing
Congress, where even some Democrats would likely reject this insanity. If this happens, it exponentially increases the
incentive to come here illegally. It'll explode the national debt beyond all bounds of manageability. It will
crush the taxpayer and threaten the foundation of our economic system, from every angle. Yet it's being talked about
seriously. Whether it actually comes to pass or not is not the point. The point is that to the new Progressive
way of thinking and governing, no entitlement is too much; no amount of government vote-buying bribery is beyond the pale.
Mayorkas
admits Remain in Mexico policy works but administration launches second attempt to end it. The Biden
administration is making a second attempt at eliminating a Trump-era agreement with Mexico that proved to slow the flow of
illegal migrants crossing the southern border. The Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP), commonly known as the Remain in
Mexico policy, is to be reinstated in November under a court order. Joe Biden eliminated the Remain in Mexico policy as
one of his first acts as president. With the sweep of a pen, Biden busily ended as much of the previous
administration's policies and agreements with Mexico as possible. Biden ran on eliminating border security measures,
essentially caving to progressive activists who demand open borders. His actions caused the Biden border crisis we now
see, with hundreds of thousands of migrants flooding the southern border with impunity.
Biden's
'Build Back Better' Budget Includes $80B Wealth Transfer To Illegal Aliens. President Joe Biden's "Build Back
Better Act," a filibuster-proof $1.75 trillion budget reconciliation package, includes an $80 billion wealth transfer from
Americans to illegal aliens via child tax credits. This week, Democrats unveiled a reconciliation package that they
negotiated with the Biden administration that would extend the Child Tax Credit (CTC) for another year and deliver billions
of dollars to illegal aliens who would be able to claim the tax credit without ever having to work. Specifically, as
Breitbart News reported, estimates project that, if passed, the budget would provide illegal aliens with about $80 billion in
child tax credits over the course of a decade — a massive cost to American taxpayers who would have to foot the bill.
Biden
Administration Makes Insane Proposal of Million-Dollar Payouts to Illegals. Rep. Doug Lamborn pointed out
that $450,000 is more than the 9/11 victim's fund — and this new proposal is for people who entered our country
completely illegally. Can you imagine how many more are now making a beeline for our open border after hearing about
this incredible largesse? If you want to get some laughs, or maybe vengeance, take a look at the comments section on
the Daily Mail's coverage of the story that ranges from "I'm a Democrat and this is the dumbest thing I ever heard" to
Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) tweeting, "It's unthinkable to pay a burglar who broke into your home for the 'psychological
trauma' they endured during the crime." Well, maybe that's not funny. In fact, the whole thing isn't very funny,
when you think about it.
The
true heinousness of the proposed $450,000 payments to illegal aliens. The Biden administration, in cooperation
with the American Civil Liberties Union, is preparing to excavate your wallet because some illegal immigrants were separated
from their families for a short time when they criminally crossed our fenceless Southern border. [...] In many cases, the
children and adults were not really part of the same family. The adults simply rented the children from Mexican
professional human-smuggling "coyotes" so the illegals could fake the special immigration status reserved for families.
Of course, even though everything the immigrants did was totally illegal, the ACLU found a welcoming administration in the
Bidenistas. According to the lawyers, the children suffered from heat exhaustion and malnutrition in the cages the
Obama Administration built. It does not matter that the heat exhaustion and malnutrition resulted from the kids'
extended trek across the blazing hot Mexican desert with no food or water. Once the young people crossed the border,
they were put into air-conditioned detention centers, received three full meals a day, medical attention, and everything else
you would expect in a typical government giveaway.
Biden
Regime Rescinds Remain in Mexico Again Since It Costs Too Much. The Biden administration is once again
rescinding former President Trump's Remain in Mexico policy, according to TheHill.com. He doesn't want anything to
impede his open borders as millions of phony asylum seekers pour through. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS)
first moved in June to scrap the policy, which Trump introduced in 2019. It mandates the mostly fake asylum seekers to await
a potential ruling in their case in Mexico. The Biden regime sued and won an initial victory from Texas and Missouri,
which argued the Biden administration too hastily withdrew the policy.
What kind of "homeland security" is this?
DHS
issues memo to cancel 'Remain in Mexico' border policy. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas issued a
new memo Friday [10/29/2021] seeking to cancel the Trump-era "Remain in Mexico" border policy that helped solve the previous migrant
surge. The move comes even as Mr. Mayorkas is trying to restart the program under a federal judge's injunction. In
a lengthy memo, the Department of Homeland Security said the U.S. cannot assure the safety of people it pushes back across the border
under the policy, officially known as the Migrant Protection Protocols, and the government doesn't want to spend the money needed to
improve conditions in Mexico.
The Editor says...
If the U.S. taxpayers began to spend money on refurbishing Mexico, every contiguous country from Guatemala to Argentina would demand the same.
Yes, Mexico is a mess. Cleaning it up is Mexico's problem. By all means, remain in Mexico — or Haiti, or wherever you're from.
The United States has plenty of unskilled freeloaders already.
Border
Patrol tallies record 557 migrant deaths on US-Mexico border in 2021 fiscal year. US Border Patrol recorded
more migrant deaths on the US southern border in fiscal year 2021 than in any prior year on record, according to data shared
by the agency Thursday [10/28/2021]. There were 557 Southwest border deaths during the fiscal year, which ended
September 30. That's up from 254 deaths in fiscal year 2020 and 300 deaths in 2019, marking a significant increase
amid a 30-record year for border crossings. The agency data on deaths dates to 1998. A majority of migrant border deaths
have been related to heat exposure, according to the agency. Migrants often face dangerous terrain and can get lost as they
try to make their way to the US.
The Editor says...
The situation is probably far worse on the south side of the border.
Border
crisis hits classrooms as unaccompanied minors flood NY schools. America's crisis at the border is now a crisis
in New York public schools. The Biden Administration is flooding New York City and Long Island communities with
thousands of unaccompanied immigrant minors captured crossing the Mexico-US border, often arriving here, as The Post recently
reported, via clandestine flights in the middle of the night. The arrival of these children, mostly teenage boys, in
local schools is creating a classroom crisis that is strapping educational resources, costing taxpayers millions in
un-budgeted dollars, and aiding gang-recruiting efforts, argue parents, teachers and immigration experts. "We're at
maxed capacity for kids with special needs, but they'll keep sending them," lamented one high school teacher in Queens, among
the communities hardest hit by the illegal-immigrant student dump.
Biden
Administration Expands List of 'Sensitive' Places Where Immigration Officers Cannot Make Arrests. President Joe
Biden's top homeland security official on Wednesday ordered immigration officers not to arrest illegal immigrants at a number
of places, including food banks and shelters. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas detailed the safe spaces
for illegal aliens in a memorandum to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers. "Sensitive locations" where
officers were barred from detaining people in the country illegally previously constituted of a small number of settings,
including churches, hospitals, and schools. The locations are now being referred to as "protected areas." Mayorkas
added social services establishments like homeless shelters, anywhere disaster or emergency relief is being provided, and
places where children gather, including playgrounds, childcare centers, and school bus stops.
Migrant
Caravan Marches to U.S. on Mexican Highway. An estimated 3,000 to 5,000 mostly Central American and Haitian
migrants continue their trek through southern Mexico to reach the United States. The video shows a portion of the
caravan filmed on Monday. The video, provided by a source within CBP, was captured by Mexican authorities who are
monitoring the group. The video shows migrants pushing baby strollers and carrying personal belongings as they fill
several lanes of a public highway. According to the source, the group is still attempting to push through the southern
state of Chiapas. The source says the group has avoided at least one attempt by the National Institute of Migration
(INM) and other Mexican authorities to deter them from continuing north.
The
Biden administration's mind-boggling cash giveaway to illegal aliens. Aside from exploitative nonprofits and
opportunistic politicians, very few Americans invited illegal aliens to break our immigration laws intentionally —
their very first act in the United States. Indeed, many Americans have had negative interactions with illegals,
examples of which we see on an almost daily basis. Just the other day, a drunk-driving illegal alien killed a
five-year-old girl, and there are other stories of thefts, robberies, sexual assaults. There are very few things anyone
can point to that would be considered a benefit to having them around. Only crazed Democrats could find a way to excuse
this. Of course, Joe Biden has almost erased our southern border in an act of petty vindictiveness against President
Trump and law-abiding Americans.
Biden
administration is considering awarding $450,000 per person to families separated at the border under Trump's zero-tolerance
policy. The Biden administration is considering paying out a whopping $450,000 per person to families separated
at the southern border as it tries to settle lawsuits with migrants who say the policy caused them lasting psychological
damage. Officials from the Departments of Justice, Homeland Security, and Health and Human Services are considering the
payments that could total close to $1 million for two people within the same family, people familiar told the Wall Street
Journal. The American Civil Liberties Union, which represents the separated families, has identified about 5,500
children separated from parents at the border during the course of the Trump-era policy.
Biden
Wants To Give Separated Illegal Immigrants $450,000 Per Person. The Biden administration is mulling a plan to
offer immigrant families separated during the Trump administration $450,000 per person in compensation, according to the
Wall Street Journal, citing people familiar with the matter. The payments [are] part of an inter-agency solution to
several lawsuits filed on behalf of separated parents and children claiming lasting psychological trauma could amount to
nearly $1 million per family, though 'the final numbers could shift,' according to the report. According to sources,
most of the families crossing into the US from Mexico included one parent and one child. Depending on circumstances,
many families could get smaller payouts.
Biden
Administration In Talks To Pay Illegal Immigrants $450,000 Per Person. If the Biden administration were trying
to convince Americans it had little sympathy for the economic distress, growing shortages, and job uncertainty many are
facing, one way to do it would be to offer an extreme amount of money to illegal immigrant families who claim they were
victims of separations under Trump's zero-tolerance immigration policy. It sounds insane, right? Well brace
yourselves. That is, in fact, what the Biden administration is in talks to do. [...] Although the numbers aren't final,
the payout could reach the staggering amount of more than $1 billion. That's a whole lot of cheese for what the
families say were health, mental and otherwise, problems caused by actions they themselves decided to inflict on their
children when they made the decision to enter the country illegally.
Texas
Republicans join Rep Chip Roy in calling for Sec Mayorkas' impeachment for 'undeniable and unavoidable damages' on US due to
border crisis. A number of Texas Republicans have signed on to Rep. Chip Roy's memo calling for the
impeachment of Homeland Security Sec. Alejandro Mayorkas, after the border officials apprehended a record 1.7 million
migrants trying to cross illegally during the 2021 fiscal year. The letter takes issue with Mayorkas terminating the
border wall, failing to take adequate legal action against illegal migrants and causing CBP to become overwhelmed, releasing
migrants into the interior of the US and refusing to enforce interior immigration laws. Roy writes that Mayorkas has refused
to expel most migrants under Title 42 and has ended the Migrant Protection Protocols, or the Remain in Mexico program.
Biden
administration expands no-go zones where ICE can't arrest illegal immigrants. The Department of Homeland
Security has expanded its list of locations off-limits for enforcement to include anywhere near graveyards, community
organization offices and any area where children "gather" — effectively blocking officers from making arrests
across many urban areas. The rules, issued Wednesday [10/27/2021], are designed to give illegal immigrants and others
associated with them access to essential services without fear of arrest, said Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro
Mayorkas. "This principle is fundamental," Mr. Mayorkas said in a memo. "We can accomplish our enforcement
mission without denying or limiting individuals' access to needed medical care, children access to their schools, the
displaced access to food and shelter, people of faith access to their places of worship, and more."
The Editor says...
Here are a few words of feedback for Secretary Mayorkas: [#1] The "displaced" are present in this country
voluntarily. We can safely presume that they knew it was illegal to cross the international border when they did so; thus,
any inconvenience they suffer is their own fault. [#2] The illegal immigrants you're so eager to serve (at taxpayers' expense)
don't have a right to medical care, schools, food or shelter. They are trespassers, not guests. Whether they are sick, or hungry,
or about to give birth, they should be swiftly deported. The word will get around quickly. [#3] "This principle is fundamental,"
Mr. Mayorkas. If you had done your job, none of these unfortunate people would have made it into the U.S.
1,000
state troopers and Texas Rangers deploy to the border as 3,000 migrants prepare to arrive in days. A unit of
1,000 state police officers and Texas Rangers assigned to monitor areas along the Lone Star State's 1,241 miles of border
with Mexico is readying to guard against the next surge of migrants looking to defy President Joe Biden's
administration. A month has passed since Texas state law enforcement agents played a role in preventing some 15,000
migrants — mostly Haitians — from crossing the United States-Mexico border. The state troopers
and Rangers would be expected to do the same in the coming days, but with a smaller caravan of migrants predominantly led by
Central Americans that is marching through southern Mexico toward the United States.
New
Migrant Caravan Clashes With Mexican Feds Before March To U.S.. A caravan of thousands of migrants, mostly
Haitian and Central Americans, started making their way to Mexico City with the intent of reaching the U.S. border.
Migrants clashed with immigration authorities and broke through blockades set in southern Mexico. Officials estimate
between 2,000 to 3,100 people formed the initial caravan over the weekend with additional migrants expected to join along the
way, potentially swelling the group's size to 5,000, Noticieros Televisa reported.
Democrats
Are Actively Seeking To Eradicate America's Unique Culture. Right now, the open border is a national stab
wound. Democrats are deliberately keeping the wound open. [...] After all, they seem quite capable of defending turf
when they want to. When they actually care about protecting something — like themselves, for
example — they're suddenly highly competent, fully capable of finding money and resources, and able to things
done. They built a wall. That's one example. They built it around the Capital Building, remember?
It was up and fully functional within days. They also seem extremely good at keeping people out of certain areas
when it's time to oversee vote-counting during an election, or when it's time to protect their personal homes or gated
neighborhoods. But when it's our homes or neighborhoods, suddenly they're flummoxed. But why would they
be doing it on purpose? Answer: to gain power.
Massive
Illegal Immigrant Zombie Horde Barrels Right Through Mexican Forces, Heads Towards America. A massive and
organized migrant caravan is on its way from southern Mexico toward the U.S., and has already surged past a blockade by
Mexican forces attempting to stop it from getting to the U.S.-Mexico border. Organizers tell Fox News that there are
thousands of migrants in the caravan, setting off from Tapachula, Mexico — some carrying American flags and signs
with President Biden's name. Tapachula is in the south of the country on the border with Guatemala. The caravan
is not merely a group of migrants congregating together, organizers made migrants who wished to participate in the caravan to
register with a QR code on their phones or a web link to participate.
Nine
months that shook the world: A list of Biden's failures. [For example,] The southern border. While
Biden all but said his hands were tied by Trump's agreement to take our troops out of Afghanistan, he felt no such need to
continue the stay-in-Mexico policy for refugees that Trump successfully negotiated with the Mexican president. The
result is the ongoing crisis at the southern border. Illegal crossings at that border have soared since January.
A record number — 1.7 million — have illegally entered the nation at that border so far in
2021. They are unmasked and not checked to see if they are infected by the COVID-19 virus.
Border
Patrol to fire up to 5K agents over vaccine mandate. U.S. Border Patrol plans to fire agents who don't receive
the COVID-19 vaccine. According to reports on Friday, the agency is looking to enforce Joe Biden's federal vaccine
mandate by the end of November. They said those who refuse to do so without an approved religious or medical exemption
could face action up to termination. Critics have said this would only further complicate the crisis at the southern
border, where over 1.5 million illegal immigrants have crossed in 2021 alone. Arizona Rep. Andy Biggs (R)
said he believes as many as 5,000 agents could separate from Border Patrol over the issue.
The Editor says...
Illegal aliens aren't required to have vaccinations, but the Border Patrol is. To whom does that make any sense?
192,001
migrants caught in September; border notches one of worst years on record. Homeland Security reported another
192,001 encounters with illegal immigrants on the southwestern border in September, topping off one of the worst fiscal years
on record. The monthly total marked a slight decline from July and August, which Customs and Border Protection touted
as a needed improvement. But the numbers were still startlingly bad for an administration that insists it has things
under control along the boundary with Mexico.
Tens
of thousands of Brazilians and Venezuelans illegally cross US-Mexico border. Tens of thousands of migrants from
South America have flown into Mexico and crossed into a remote part of Arizona since late summer, as word spreads far beyond
Central America that the United States's southern border is penetrable, according to two people familiar with the change in
migration trends. More than 7,000 Brazilians and Venezuelans were encountered illegally crossing the border near Yuma
in August, an unusually high number of people to come from countries outside the usual El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and
Mexico, whose citizens most often flee to the U.S.
Why
Is Biden Moving Refugees. Not only does Biden prefer foreigners over his fellow Americans, he lacks the
integrity to be transparent about it. How else could one explain the fact that his administration is dispersing illegal
aliens throughout the country via secret flights under cover of darkness? If Americans supported allowing unchecked
numbers of foreigners into the country, this kind of subterfuge would not be necessary. To land these planes in broad
daylight, however, would invite protests and images that would embarrass the Biden White House, like those from the shameful
Afghanistan retreat and the more than 10,000 Haitians under that bridge in Del Rio, Texas. So instead, untold numbers
of foreigners are being dumped into communities while their citizens are asleep and none the wiser. That is neither
transparent, competent, nor compassionate. Such chicanery creates another battle over states' rights versus federal
authority, and the anti-border crowd's duplicity on the issue is predictable. During the Trump Administration, "the
resistance" was all-in for the cause of cities and states with sanctuary laws that harbor illegal aliens from deportation.
Levin:
Migrant flights 'all about politics', targeting suburbs: 'They're not going to Newark or Camden'. Fox News host
Mark Levin said Tuesday [10/19/2021] he believes there is a clear geopolitical aspect to the Biden administration's secretive
migrant flights and ensuing shuttling of illegal immigrants to suburban locations in the Mid-Atlantic and South. Levin
cited the New York Post's bombshell report from earlier in the week that revealed thousands of young migrants landing in the
dead of night at Westchester Airport in White Plains, New York, where the passengers are then bused to various drop off
points. "Aren't you sick of government operating this way, under cover of dark — without the American people
even knowing what's taking place?" Levin asked his audience on "The Mark Levin Show on Westwood One", calling out liberal
mainstream newspapers for largely ignoring the situation.
Migrants
using QR code to organize caravan headed toward Mexico City. Migrants from Central American countries and Haiti
are turning to technology to organize a caravan headed toward the country's capitol where they intend to ask immigration
officials there for help establishing their refugee status to avoid getting deported from the country. A QR code is
being shared among migrants that links to an online consent form saying the person agrees to pay for their own travel
expenses. The announcement is in Spanish and Haitian Creole, according to the organization Pueblos Unidos
Migrantes. Most migrants are heading north from Tapachula, Chiapas, Mexico after growing frustrated while waiting for
permission from Mexico's National Institute for Migration to stay in the country as refugees.
Facebook
users [are] allowed to share advice, tips on crossing border illegally. Facebook has acknowledged it allows
people to share information on how to immigrate illegally or be smuggled into the U.S., saying it crafted the policy to give
them a shot at asylum and prevent them from relying on human traffickers. The company made the admission in a private
letter to Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich. Mr. Brnovich was stunned by the revelation and wrote a letter
late last week to the Justice Department. He asked U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland to open an investigation into
the social media giant and find a way to "stop its active encouragement and facilitation of illegal entry."
Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, 1939, page 2.
There's
a Reason Why Most Don't Know About Joe Biden's Secret Flights. We all know the border is a mess. [...] Of all
the crises engulfing this White House, this one was avoidable. Biden just decided to create a new one because a) he is
a legitimate moron, and b) he wanted to show the Democratic base he wasn't Trump. Well, Trump had it right on the
border and nothing says failure than scurrying around a bunch of illegals in the dead of night to avoid the press. For
weeks, the Biden administration has been transporting illegal minors in the dead of night, but The New York Post did some
digging around. [...] Send them home, Joe. That's what you should do, but you won't. You probably don't know
what's going on, just like in Afghanistan, just like with your jobs plan, just like with spiking inflation, or the global
supply chain crisis. You don't know because you cannot do the job. You're mentally too slow. You're
inept. And you cannot do this from the basement. Also, you need to answer questions.
GOP
Rep. Tony Gonzales says 100,000 migrants are heading towards the US from Central America and 52 were stopped in Panama
because of terrorism ties. Texas Republican Rep. Tony Gonzalez said Monday [10/18/2021] that Panama
foreign minister Erica Mouynes told him that as many as 100,000 migrants have crossed through her country on the way to the
US, and 52 of those they apprehended had ties to al-Qaeda. Speaking on the 'Real America' podcast with GOP chairwoman
Ronna McDaniel, the San Antonio congressman said the situation in Del Rio, Texas is the 'worst I've ever seen it.'
He said that Mouynes came to visit him and a number of other lawmakers to get word out about the coming onslaught.
Ted
Cruz wants to ship illegal immigrants to Democratic states. Tired of having Texas bear the brunt of the border
crisis, Sen. Ted Cruz is proposing a different idea: Ship newly arrived illegal immigrants to deep blue
territories like New England or California, and see how they handle it. He even proposed putting one of the new ports
of entry for processing illegal immigrants in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, which is President Biden's vacation retreat.
The Republican senator on Tuesday [10/19/2021] announced his bill, the Stop the Surge Act, which he said would bring the
border problems straight to "where Democrat elites host their cocktail parties."
Ted
Cruz Introduces Bill That Would Send Illegal Immigrants To The Towns Of Rich White Liberals For Processing. In
the midst of the ongoing border crisis, Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz filed legislation on Tuesday that would establish
processing centers for illegal immigrants in areas such as Martha's Vineyard and other Democrat-led communities.
Earlier this month, Cruz said: "For the past ten months, President Biden and his administration have willingly
surrendered the United States' southern border to dangerous criminal cartels, with no thought given to the South Texas border
communities like McAllen and Del Rio, which are running low on resources from dealing with this massive influx of illegal
immigrants[.]" The legislation was introduced before Cruz made his statement.
In
New York it's now illegal to threaten to report someone to ICE. It is now illegal in New York to threaten to
report someone's immigration status. Gov. Kathy Hochul signed into law last week a bill that classifies such
threats as extortion or coercion. Previously, such threats were treated as a crime solely in cases of labor and sex
trafficking. "This legislation will protect New Yorkers from bad actors who use extortion or coercion due to their
immigration status, and make our state safer against vile threats and intimidation," Hochul said in a press release.
California, Colorado, Maryland and Virginia have enacted similar pieces of legislation.
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.
Biden
administration provides $20 million to assist 700,000 migrants seeking asylum in US. The U.S. government
announced Friday it will provide more than $20 million to nearly 700,000 asylum seeks, refugees and vulnerable migrants in
Central America and Mexico. The additional funding, provided through the Department of State's Bureau of Population,
Refugees, and Migration (PRM), will "help meet urgent humanitarian needs," and brings the total humanitarian assistance for
Central America and Mexico to more than $331 million for Fiscal Year 2021, according to the state department's spokesperson
Ned Price.
Lawrence
Jones blasts Biden admin over border catastrophe: 'Get down here and do your job!' 'Fox & Friends" reporter
Lawrence Jones described what is going on at the U.S. border involving the danger the cartels pose to the National Guard
while bluntly telling the Biden administration to "get down here and do your job." The Texas Department of Public
Safety is reporting that suspected cartel members were taunting Texas National Guard troops and firing shots across the
border at them in Roma, Texas this week, according to Fox News. Lawrence Jones was on the ground with Texas officials
getting a firsthand look at what was transpiring there. "It was rough out there when it comes to what these National
Guardsmen are dealing with as well the troopers on the ground," Jones stated. "We can't confirm they are part of the
cartel, we just know the cartel works with these people."
Border
Agents Feel Hopeless: 'We're not making any difference'. Morale among Border Patrol agents has plummeted to an
all-time low as they struggle to process unprecedented volumes of illegal immigrants, while knowing they're unable to secure
the border against cartel activity. Many blame their own leadership for enabling it. "Day after day, they just
look like they want to eat their gun," an agent told The Epoch Times, referring to some local agents in the Rio Grande Valley
Sector, who he says are bearing the brunt of it. "They just look like hell. It's hard to put it — you
just start seeing the life leaving people's faces."
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...
Ri-i-i-ight. They'll either "begin the asylum process," or they'll begin the disappearance process.
Leaked
Border Patrol docs show mass release of illegal immigrants into US by Biden administration. At least 160,000
illegal immigrants have been released into the U.S., often with little to no supervision, by the Biden administration since
March — including a broad use of limited parole authorities to make more than 30,000 eligible for work permits
since August, Border Patrol documents obtained by Fox News show. The documents give a partial snapshot into how the
Biden administration has been releasing enormous numbers of migrants into the U.S., often with little to no oversight,
supervision or immediate risk of deportation. Since March 20, at least 94,570 illegal immigrants have been released
into the U.S. with Notices to Report. Those who receive such a notice are only required to check in with an ICE office
when they get to their final destination — which could be anywhere across the country. Those who check in
are not deported or detained as their immigration proceedings move forward.
Orchestrated
crisis to bring tens of thousands of people to southern border in coming weeks. Tens of thousands of migrants
from other countries are making their way north to the southern border, an open border activist and government officials
warn. Irineo Mujica, Director of Pueblo Sin Fronteras, an NGO that provides "shelter and safety to migrants and
refugees in transit" and accompanies them "in their journey," says a new Haitian caravan is making its way to the U.S. border
from Tapachula, Mexico. He also says 800 Haitians and Central Americans are crossing the Guatemalan border every day
making their way north. The Haitian caravan is supposed to leave around Oct. 25 from Mexico, with or without clearance
from Mexico, he says.
DHS
secretary orders ICE to stop targeting illegal immigrants at jobs. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro
Mayorkas issued new orders Tuesday halting ICE from going after large numbers of illegal immigrants at job sites, saying it
is a waste of resources and actually helps unscrupulous employers abuse unauthorized workers. Mr. Mayorkas said he
wants his department's three immigration agencies to come up with new strategies to target employers while leaving the
illegal immigrants unscathed. But those solutions are in the future. For now, he said, "mass worksite operations"
must cease.
Migrant Caravan Activist
Says They Are 'Ready For War'. A new Haitian caravan is headed for the United States in 20 states and the man
leading them says they are prepared for "war." The migrant caravan advocate who is in Southern Mexico says that his
group is going to head to the U.S. border from Tapachula around Oct. 25, a Border Report translation said. "We are
leaving in 20 days," Irineo Mujica said in a video shared on Tuesday on social media. "We prefer to march with (travel)
papers. [...] And this time, with papers or without papers, we are ready for war. If the National Guard comes and they
are cowardly enough to beat women and children, let them prepare because God's hand is with us."
The Editor says...
If God's hand is with you, why do you have to move to the U.S.?
Biden
Admin Cancels Border Wall Contracts As U.S. Expects Record Surge In Illegal Immigration. Democrat President Joe
Biden's administration announced on Friday that it is canceling multiple contracts to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico
border as U.S. Border Patrol braces for a record surge in illegal immigration in October. The Department of Homeland
Security (DHS) announced that the Biden administration will "cancel the remaining border barrier contracts located within
U.S. Border Patrol's (USBP) Laredo Sector and all border barrier contracts located in the Rio Grande Valley Sector." [...]
The Biden administration's announcement comes just days after reports that the administration is expecting a surge of up to
400,000 migrants attempting to illegally cross the southern border in October — nearly double the 21-year record
broken in July, when over 210,000 migrants illegally crossed the southern border. The day after the news broke of the
expected surge in illegal immigration, Rodney Scott, the Biden administration's former chief of the United States Border
Patrol, revealed that the Biden administration had "shut down" investments in new technology to secure the border.
Exposing
the Left's Border Scam Is Now a 'Hate Crime'. Like Prohibition-era bootleggers unloading barrels of whiskey in
broad daylight, the anti-borders Left has been flouting the law in public for decades as it enables a vast and profitable
human trafficking operation through south Texas. In today's gaslit, no-accountability culture, the problem isn't
finding the crime, but in naming the perpetrators and exposing their motives. Financial gain is obviously a big
incentive in the immigration scam against America. Numerous beneficiaries include the cartels that traffic the people,
"charities" that get a piece of the action for moving the human cargo throughout the country, and stateside businesses that
reap the benefit of cheap foreign labor. These parties seem largely indifferent to being called out for their roles in
the scam. It comes from a confidence in knowing that, regardless of who knows what, the operation will roll on without
so much as a speed bump.
Mexican
cartels firing machine guns across the Rio Grande at National Guard troops. I believe that there's a word for a
situation in which munitions are fired across an international border aimed at troops defending that border. It is a
"war." Fox News' Bill Melugin — the preeminent journalist on the story of our southern border —
captured video of tracer rounds at night coming across the Rio Grande, and the taunts that accompanied them.
Clearly an act of war:
Mexican
cartel fires a machine gun across the border into the US with bullets zipping above a National Guard observation post as
migrants flood in. Suspected members of a Mexican cartel were caught on video firing multiple rounds of bullets
across the border into Texas on Thursday [10/7/2021]. The footage was captured by a reporter amid reports that Texas
National Guard members in Starr County have seen cartel gunfights increase near the border recently. Fox's Bill Melugin,
who claimed to have seen everything, added that the National Guardsmen were not certain whether this was a shootout or just
meant to intimidate.
Arizona
border just as 'out of control' as Texas, Gov. Doug Ducey warns. Texas has been the center of the border
crisis, but Arizona is also in peril and bearing the brunt of Mexican cartels' smuggling of people into the United States at
record-high levels, its governor said. "What's already happening in Yuma is reflective of what's happening on the Texas
border," Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey said in an interview with the Washington Examiner in Mission, Texas. "Arizona is
a border state. We faced this before, but we've never faced a crisis this large in 21 years."
Biden
apologizes to Haiti, but not Americans, for Haitian land invasion of United States. You may not have liked his
'mean' tweets or his demeanor on the national or global stage, but one thing extremely positive about Donald Trump is that he
was the most "America First" president we've had since Ronald Reagan. Everything Trump did, policy wise, was done in
regard to how it would first benefit America and Americans. Never once did he put other people or other countries'
interests ahead of ours. And for that, nearly 75 million people voted to reelect him last fall, the most ever for
a Republican nominee (we can talk some other time about the phony 81 million votes Joe Biden allegedly got). But
speaking of Biden, the 'America First' policies are gone with Trump, and it's obvious in everything the mind-addled
'president' does.
69
Percent of Hispanics Disapprove of Biden's Handling of Immigration. Amid the border crisis, which escalated
last week with the apprehension of over ten thousand Haitian migrants, President Biden has fallen out of favor with the
majority of Hispanic Americans over his handling of immigration policy. Sixty-nine percent of Hispanics disapprove of
Biden's handling of immigration, while only 23 percent approve, according to a new Quinnipiac poll released Wednesday
[10/6/2021]. As for the Biden administration's handling of deportations of illegal aliens, 41 percent of Hispanic
respondents say it is "not aggressive enough" while 20 percent say Biden has been "acting appropriately." As
thousands of Haitian migrants have been released into the country, under the pretense that they will return for a court date
in a couple of years to have their asylum cases adjudicated, many Republican lawmakers predict that they will disappear into
the interior, if historical patterns hold.
More
than 400,000 sneaked over southern border and got away in past year, former Border Patrol head says. The U.S.
Border Patrol reported more than 400,000 people who illegally crossed the border were able to get away without being arrested
over just the past 12 months, according to the agency's previous leader. "We have over 400,000 documented gotaways,
people or incidents, where people cross the border, got away this last year," former Border Patrol Chief Rodney Scott said in
an interview that aired on Fox News Tuesday evening [10/5/2021].
Ugandan
Family That Paid 5k To Mexican Smugglers Caught On Cam Being Escorted Onto Plane Without IDs. From 100 Percent
Fed Up: On July 15, retired ICE Special Agent Victor Avila bought a ticket to fly on an American Airlines partner, One
World from McAllen, TX. While waiting in a room filled with illegal aliens waiting to be shipped to their new homes in
various communities across America, he struck up a conversation with a woman from Uganda. According to Victor Avila,
"The women from Uganda spoke perfect English and was more than happy to share" information on how she made it from Uganda to
the United States. The Ugandan woman, who was preparing to board the American Airlines flight in McAllen, TX, told
Avila that she, her husband, and toddler were headed for Portland, Oregon. Victor asked her how they got from Uganda to
McAllen, Texas? The Ugandan woman explained that she and her family flew directly from Uganda to Mexico City, Mexico,
where they met with a smuggler who they paid $5,000 per family member to secure their passage across the Mexican border to
Texas. [Video clip]
Biden's
Migrant Crisis Is Getting People Killed. Recent reports indicate that a significant number of migrants
attempting to make the journey to the southern border have died along the way. The issue is migrants attempting to make
it to the southern border by walking through the Darien Gap, which CBS News describes as "a 60-mile stretch of lawless
jungle." Migrants are traveling through the Darien Gap to reach Panama, and from there, continue on to the southern
border. The report notes that "at least 50 bodies have reportedly been found this year, but the real death toll is
estimated to be four times higher." The Darien Gap is particularly dangerous due to harsh conditions —
especially in summer weather — and the presence of cartels and gangs, who prey upon those seeking to gain entry to
the United States.
Noncitizen
Voting in Vermont [is] Part of Democrats' 'Long Game'. Noncitizens will be able to vote in two Vermont cities
as part of a growing national trend, unless lawsuits prevent new laws from taking effect. The cities of Montpelier,
with about 7,375 residents, and Winooski, with about 7,335, both will allow noncitizens to vote in local elections for
offices such as mayor, city council, and school board. Related changes to the two city charters required the approval
of voters as well as the state's Democrat-controlled Legislature, which in June overrode a veto by Vermont Gov. Phil
Scott, a Republican. "These are very liberal cities with progressive Democrats," Rob Roper, president of the Ethan
Allen Institute, a free-market think tank based in Montpelier, told The Daily Signal.
Unsustainable.
At the end of September, Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas issued a memo to Immigration and Customs
Enforcement officials laying out new guidelines for enforcing immigration law. Mayorkas's memo would exempt from
deportation most illegal immigrants who entered the United States before November 2020 unless they had some connection to
terrorism or had engaged in serious criminal conduct. The new approach could both worsen problems at the southern
border and make a badly needed political settlement on immigration harder to attain. The word "immigrant" does not
occur once in Mayorkas's memo. Instead, he classifies illegal immigrants as "undocumented noncitizens." Mayorkas
declares that "the fact an individual is a removable noncitizen therefore should not alone be the basis of an enforcement
action against them." Under the terms of the memo, someone being in the country illegally would not be sufficient
reason for the federal government to pursue deportation.
Texas
braces for surge of 60,000 Haitian migrants. State officials are bracing for what could be the largest surge of
migrants ever to attempt to enter the country illegally from Mexico, weeks after thousands of Haitians did so. While
border security falls under the federal government's responsibility, the Biden administration has significantly reined in the
Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement. This has resulted in fewer deportations and many people being
released into the United States after illegally crossing the border, potentially incentivizing more illegal migration.
Overwhelmed Border Patrol agents have been pulled from the border to process people in custody, leaving the border unguarded
in many regions.
Catch-and-release
at border up more than 430,000% in August. What a difference a year makes on the border. In August 2020,
the Trump administration managed something stunning. Border Patrol agents caught more than 47,000 illegal immigrants
and immediately released just 10 of them into the interior. This August, under President Biden, the Border Patrol made
more than 195,000 arrests and released 43,941 people — an increase of more than 430,000%. Security experts
say that's the difference between a secure border and an unprecedented migrant surge.
Lucky
us: Illegal alien militants plan more obnoxious protests. At a time when illegals are surging to the
border in historic numbers, and public support for amnesty is collapsing, it would seem logical for illegal alien amnesty
activists to just lie low. But nope, they've decided that now's about the time to step up the obnoxious, disruptive
protests, along with harassment of U.S. elected officials. And if things go as they've always gone, it will once again
be to their grief.
Guess
what else showed up in the reconciliation bill for illegal aliens. I suppose we should have seen this one
coming, particularly considering the malarkey that the Democrats have been trying to shovel into the so-called reconciliation
bill from day one. After failing twice to convince the Senate Parliamentarian to allow some form of general amnesty for
illegal aliens as part of what is supposed to be a spending bill, some actual spending has now shown up. Only this
facet also represents a significant policy change, and possibly an illegal one at that. Stowed away in the bill is a
provision that would allow anyone residing in the United States who provides an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number
(ITIN) to apply for the Child Tax Credit. Currently, all filers are required to provide a Social Security Number.
Border
Patrol Union's Judd: 'I've Never Seen the Morale Any Lower than It Is Right Now'. Even though President Joe
Biden has been in office only eight-and-a-half months, his policies have had a remarkably negative impact on the morale of
the Border Patrol, according to National Border Patrol Council president Brandon Judd. During an interview [...] Judd,
whose organization is the Border Patrol's union, said he had never seen morale any lower than right now and blamed Biden directly.
Between
Afghanistan and Immigration, Have We Ever Had a Less Competent President? [Scroll down] The second
completely self-generated Biden crisis is immigration. As with many other issues, it's now apparent that more than
anything else, Biden's goal was to undo what former President Donald Trump had done on immigration. The dominant
far-left activist wing of his party had campaigned on open borders. This is not a concept that sane people find
comforting. Countries need borders. Biden claims to understand this, but his actions to date have destroyed the
border security measures in place when he took office. To recap, when Trump first took office, the southern border was
in crisis. Human smugglers and left-wing activists realized there was no need to sneak across our border; if a migrant
showed up and claimed political asylum and a fear of persecution in their home country, we would release them to an American
community until a hearing could be held. The vast majority would then never show up for the hearing. Our
goodwill was abused by those seeking to game our system.
Democrats
need better arguments for their agenda than 'Orange Man Bad'. Incautiously, Democrats plunged into policymaking
without making anything like cognizable policy arguments. Trump had reduced illegal immigration by extending walls on
the Mexican border and persuading Mexico's president to hold asylum-seekers in Mexico until their (usually baseless) claims
could be ruled on. Both policies were ditched on Day 1 of the Biden administration. The policy argument:
"Orange man bad." Now, we see the easily predictable results. Border apprehensions are headed toward 2 million
this year — the highest since the 1998-2000 boom years. So-called asylum-seekers from Central America have
been joined by Middle Easterners, Africans and, most recently, by some 20,000 Haitians, previously settled in Chile and
Brazil, huddled under a bridge heading to Del Rio, Texas. Vice President Kamala Harris' pathetic plea, "Don't come,"
has been overwhelmed by the evidence that most of those who do come illegally are ushered into the United States and told to
meet court dates that everyone knows most won't. The likely result is something like 1 million new illegal immigrants
in the United States this year.
DHS
Prepared for Worst-Case October Scenario in Which 400,000 Illegal Migrants Pour Across Border. DHS Secretary
Alejandro Mayorkas asked department officials if they were prepared for a "worst-case" scenario in which 400,000 illegal
immigrants rushed across the southern border in the month of October alone, according to reporting from NBC. Such a
massive inflow of migrants across the southern border would have smashed the records for the most illegal immigration in one
month, which Biden's administration broke in July with 210,000 migrants entering the United States. Mayorkas was
concerned with the pending termination of Title 42, a public health authority implemented by the Trump administration that
allowed quick expulsion of illegals on account of the coronavirus. A liberal judge had ordered the Biden administration
to cease use of Title 42 in September, with the ruling taking effect on Thursday [9/30/2021]. However, at the last
minute, a federal appeals court upheld the legality of Title 42, keeping it in place.
Isn't this what the telephone is for?
Biden
aides dispatched to Haiti for listening tour as 60,000 migrants head toward border. Two senior U.S. diplomats
met face to face with leaders in Haiti this week as the Biden administration looks to stabilize its approach to the island
nation and calm pressures from home. Brian Nichols, President Joe Biden's newly confirmed assistant secretary of state
for Western Hemisphere affairs, and Juan Gonzalez, National Security Council senior director, arrived in Port-au-Prince
Thursday [9/30/2021] after a stop in Miami. There, they met with Haitian and Cuban American leaders to discuss the
challenges facing both of their countries.
DHS
fears up to 400,000 migrants could cross the border in October. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas
reportedly asked his officials whether the department was ready to handle the possibility of up to 400,000 migrants, nearly
double the 21-year high seen in July, crossing the border in October. Despite public attempts to appear in control of
the situation at the southwest border, a phone call between Mayorkas and senior officials earlier this week shows a Biden
administration scrambling to contain a growing crisis. Mayorkas asked on the call if the border was ready for a
worst-case scenario of 350,000 to 400,000 migrants crossing the border next month, two DHS officials told NBC.
New
Mayorkas memo effectively opens the border. Anyone who's an economic migrant looking for a job can come in
now. There won't be any more instant deportations on COVID, or even recent-crosser grounds. No need for the
family thing anymore, no need to travel in families or send a child in alone; you can be a single, military-aged young man
traveling alone, and you can break into the U.S. and still find yourself at to the bottom of the enforcement priority
list. A deportation won't happen. What's more, Mayorkas says every migrant they apprehend, assuming they will do
that at all, needs to be fully vetted and background-checked for terrorist, espionage, and criminal proclivities before
becoming a priority for deportation. Good luck with that.
Destroying
America, Overtly or Covertly. It's almost laughable to hear some in the liberal media claim we have a "moral
obligation" to help immigrants when we are ignoring the plight of women in Afghanistan and so many other areas to which the
word "moral" might rightly be attached. Reaction to the open border has been as predictable as the coming of the fall
season. Some Democratic progressives shout "racism" because the latest flood includes Haitians. Signs rapidly
appear. Some say, "Stop deportation now!" Where did the signs come from? Who are the people carrying them, and
where do they come from? Is someone paying them? The media never ask these questions. Illegal immigrants
are not only attracted by low-paying jobs, but by lots of free stuff, like access to health care and public schools, all paid
for by American taxpayers. If a pregnant noncitizen gives birth on U.S. soil, her child instantly becomes a U.S.
citizen with all the benefits of full citizenship. One of the few political leaders responding to this crisis is Texas
Gov. Greg Abbott, a Republican. Abbott has ordered state police to close off parts of the border because the
migrants are violating Texas law. For this, he is being pilloried and even sued by the Biden administration, though the
White House announced just recently that it would swiftly begin to deport Haitian migrants flooding into Del Rio,
Texas. But where's Vice President Kamala Harris, who was assigned to fix our border crisis?
Panama warns
of looming Haitian migrant wave, tens of thousands on the way. Nearly 30,000 Haitian migrants have already made
their way over the U.S.-Mexico border in recent weeks, but Panama's foreign minister says far more are on their
way — and she has been sounding the alarm for months. In a new interview with Axios, Foreign Minister Erika
Mouynes said that since the beginning of 2021 more than 85,000 Haitians have crossed through Panama and that she believes
"they all are heading toward the U.S."
Border Crisis Update For September 29, 2021.
Both the Biden Administration and his [director] of "Homeland Security" seem to view illegal aliens as a precious resource
that they must avoid deporting at all costs. [Numerous tweets]
Border
Patrol Breaks All-Time Migrant Apprehension Record in 2021. With less than 48 hours left in Fiscal Year 2021,
the Border Patrol has already surpassed the total number of migrant apprehensions made in any year along the southwest border
since the agency's inception in 1924. A source within Customs and Border Protection notes the unofficial apprehension record
shows more than 1,646,000 for the year as of Wednesday [9/29/2021]. The total reflects arrests made within the nine
southwest Border Patrol Sectors from California to Texas. According to CBP, the previous record stood since 2000 when
1,643,679 were arrested.
Ted
Cruz Points Out What's Been Missing From the Senate Judiciary Committee. During a working session on Capitol
Hill Wednesday, Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) berated Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Durbin for refusing to hold a single
hearing about the catastrophe continuing to unfold at the U.S. southern border with Mexico. [Tweet] During a speech on
the Senate floor late last week, Cruz detailed the impact unfettered illegal immigration is having on Texas communities.
"When I was in Del Rio, the 700 people under the bridge had become 10,503. That's what the total was the day I
was there. 10,503 packed in deplorable conditions. They'd already crossed into the United States. They were
packed under that bridge because the Border Patrol lacks the capacity to process anything close to that number. Within
a couple more days, the 10,503 had become 15,000 people. That's unprecedented. To put that in perspective, the
city of Del Rio has a population of 35,000 people — nearly half the population of Del Rio was under that bridge,"
Cruz said.
Biden
administration trying again to end 'Remain in Mexico' policy. The Biden administration has not given up on
doing away with the so-called "Remain in Mexico" policy known officially as the Migrant Protection Protocols, despite being
ordered by a court to reinstate the program implemented by former President Trump. The policy requires asylum seekers
at the southern border to remain in Mexico while they await hearings to determine their eligibility and status, rather than
allowing a release of migrants into the U.S. The Biden administration first attempted to end the program in June but was
sued by Texas and Missouri. Those states' attorneys general argued that ending the policy was harmful to the country
and that the way it was terminated was illegal.
Decoding
the Democrat Fantasy of Open Borders. [Scroll down] The left knows that they have been emphatically
rejected in the arena of ideas. There is no place on the earth that can boast of sustained prosperity under a left-wing
regime. Since they cannot win red states, they have devised a plan to dilute the impact of Republican voters by
flooding the country with impoverished and unskilled migrants. These individuals may end up partially or totally
dependent upon taxpayers' funds all their life. The left gives them welfare money enough to keep their heads above the
water. The grateful migrants become lifelong Democrat voters. The older residents are branded as 'deplorables'
and they need not be won over; they are just replaced with new Democrat voters. This is the only way the Democrats can
permanently remain in power. [...] This would explain why migrants are clandestinely bussed to red states. The illegal
immigrant may well agree to work for lower than minimum wage, which is a blessing for big businesses, who are Democrat donors.
DeSantis
Moves To Stop Biden From Flooding Florida With Illegal Aliens. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis on Tuesday
announced new actions that his administration is taking to stop Democrat President Joe Biden from flooding the state with
illegal aliens from the crisis that Biden created on the U.S.-Mexico border. [...] DeSantis has previously pressed the Biden
administration to provide transparency concerning where they are shipping the illegal aliens in the state, and the
administration refused to respond.
Florida
Sues Biden Administration Over Release of Illegal Immigrants. The Biden administration's repeated release of
illegal immigrants has drawn a legal challenge from the state of Florida. Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody, a
Republican, sued the federal government over its "catch-and-release" policy, which has led to the freeing of over 225,000
illegal immigrants this year. The lawsuit primarily concerns the treatment of immigrants seeking asylum, which is
granted in cases where authorities rule they have a legitimate fear of persecution based on their race, religion, or several
other reasons. Federal law requires the government to detain the asylum seekers until authorities rule on their
case. But under President Joe Biden, it has released at least 225,000 illegal immigrants, including asylum seekers, so
far, according to Customs and Border Protection data. "Releasing this many arriving aliens into the interior
necessarily means that the government is violating congressional commands in the immigration laws," the 23-page suit, filed
in federal court in Pensacola, states.
Florida
sues Biden administration over catch-and-release policy, alleging violation of federal law. The state of
Florida is suing the Biden administration over its "illegal" catch-and-release policies at the Southern Border, saying they
cause harm to the state's "quasi-sovereign interests," while claiming officials are either in violation of federal
immigration law, or simply abusing their authority. Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody filed the suit against the
administration Tuesday, as part of a joint effort with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to "uphold the rule of law despite the
Biden administration's decision to violate the law." The suit was filed in the Pensacola Division of the Northern
District of Florida. Moody is not seeking a preliminary injunction. The defendants in the suit are the Department
of Homeland Security, its component agencies, like Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE), as well as Homeland Security
Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, top officials from ICE, Customs and Border Protection (CBP), and U.S. Citizenship and
Immigration Services (USCIS). The attorney general is also suing the United States itself.
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."

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.

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...
It is painfully obvious that Joe Biden cannot "demonstrate his commitment to border security," because border security is the last thing he wants.
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?
Images
of migrant camp under Texas bridge show misery, squalor. Images coming out of the makeshift migrant camp under
a bridge in a Texas border town reveal the horrendous conditions thousands of people are living in — from seeking
shelter from the brutal sun inside tents fashioned from pieces of cloth to using jugs of water to bathe, all the while
surrounded by ever-growing mounds of garbage. The humanitarian crisis underway on the border near Del Rio, Texas,
includes adults, children and babies among the estimated 12,000 mostly Haitian migrants waiting to be processed by US border
officials. Meanwhile, Gov. Greg Abbott has ordered state vehicles to create a makeshift wall along the border to block
people [from] crossing the Rio Grande river, according to a report.
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...
Is Secretary Mayorkas worried about keeping his job? Probably not. Who was the last cabinet-level bureaucrat
who was fired because of poor performance?
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:
• While he imposes vaccine mandates on American citizens, he admits that illegal aliens, such as the Haitians, won't have to get the jab.
• The Border Patrol still catches and releases many of the "migrants" they detain, often without giving them a court date.
• The Regime rushes through "asylum" seekers and expedites green cards for Afghan "refugees" and guest workers.
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."

If you're trying "to do the right thing," maybe you should play by the rules.
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 other is John Cornyn, who is completely silent and invisible.
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

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.'"

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.

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 last time I went to Mexico, it was on foot in Acuña, in 1971, with a high-school group.
After a couple of hours, I was really glad to get back into the U.S.
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.

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...
One could easily surmise that the U.S. is importing "refugees" who were in no danger where they were. Certainly not as much
danger as an American citizen in the same place. And now, more likely than not, the new arrivals will be permanent parasites,
they will never learn English, and they will always vote for the socialist Democrats.
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.

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:
• What will good immigrant parents decide to do about their illegal situation and status?
• What impact over time do parents living in the shadows of illegal, unethical, and criminal status have on their own character structure and by psychological influence, the character structure of their children?
• Does the shadowy atmosphere of being an "illegal" cause denial of that reality?
• Does denial or repression about being illegal often cause defiance, rebellion, and a false sense of entitlement?
• Does being illegal often cause a passive sense of psychological invisibility and submissiveness?
• Is skipping to the head of the line to gain American citizenship and potential prosperity a violation of personal conscience?
• Why did an illegal immigrant parent not fight for freedom, safety, and prosperity in his or her country of origin?
What are personality, character, and character disorders as they relate to the parenting processes of illegal immigrant parents and the impact on their children's character?
Little has been written about the unconscious psychosocial aspects of illegal immigrant's identities and actions as parents.
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

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:

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:
Biden's
Open Border & the Open Question. If a frank enemy of the United States had taker over the executive branch this
past January, I wonder if he would conduct himself one whit differently than have Joe Biden, his administration, and his
Democratic enablers in Congress and the media.
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."

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.

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.

Encino and Falfurrias are two of the most middle-of-nowhere places I've ever driven through. It's a really bad place to have
a wreck. Falfurrias makes McAllen look like Houston.
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

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.

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.
Mexico
bars US from returning many migrant families, threatening to make border crisis worse. Mexico has barred the
United States from sending migrant families back across the border, using emergency measures put in place at the start of the
pandemic, the Washington Examiner has learned, a development that threatens to exacerbate the border crisis. The
decision to prohibit a great number of non-Mexican migrant families from returning to Mexico is expected to force Border
Patrol to release more people into the U.S. because it lacks space at existing facilities to hold the thousands coming into
custody daily. More than 20,000 people were encountered last week in the busiest of the border's nine regions, the Rio
Grande Valley. It marked the most people ever apprehended in a week in the region.
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...
The Attorney General, on behalf of whoever runs the Biden administration, has intentionally abdicated the enforcement of the U.S. border
with Meico. It is therefore necessary for Governor Greg Abbott to pick up the slack.
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...
The honor system was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of
any other.*
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...
The Catholics are helping to import illegal aliens for the same reason the Democrats are. The newcomers are likely
to become Democrat voters, and are probably already Catholic. This means more money and more power for both groups,
but only if the illegal aliens are imported in wholesale quantities.
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...
Another million illegal aliens walked into the country, yet the total number of illegal aliens (reported by the news media)
remains a constant 11 million. It never increases.
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.

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...
I am in favor of "direct military action" and "armed confrontation" at the border, if that's what it takes to stop illegal
immigration. The socialist Democrats want to defend illegal immigration by using military force against US!
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]

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.

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."

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.

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."
• January: 75,313
• February: 97,640
• March: 169,204
• April: 173,686
• May: 172,011
This month, they're reportedly on track to surpass 180,000. The surge is getting bigger, even as the hot summer months beckon. Breitbart
cites one reason for the likeliness of all the newly constructed detention facilities: Joe plans to rescind the Centers for Disease Control order
that states that on the grounds of COVID risk in the time of the pandemic, unvetted migrants rolling in illegally need to be immediately sent back,
(except, as Joe has determined, unaccompanied children, which is why the kid surge still goes full blast).
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.

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?
Biden
officially Ends Trump's 'Remain in Mexico' policy and urges Congress to clear the way for 11 million immigrants to get
citizenship. The Biden administration on Tuesday [6/1/2021] formally ended a Trump-era immigration policy that
forced asylum-seekers to wait in Mexico for hearings in U.S. immigration court. A seven-page memo by Homeland Security
Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas marked the end of the 'Migrant Protection Protocols,' which returned about 70,000 asylum-seekers
to Mexico from January 2019 until it was halted on President Joe Biden's first day in office two years later. The move
came the same day as the Biden administration marked the first day of National Immigrant Heritage Month by asking Congress to
pass the U.S. Citizenship Act of 2021, which Biden pitched his first day in office, providing a way for an estimated 11
million undocumented people to legally stay in the U.S.
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:
• Funding to complete the border wall was halted
• The Migrant Protection Protocols — also known as the Remain in Mexico policy — was repealed
• The U.S. Citizenship Act of 2021 was sent to Congress.
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...
If you find this surprising, you don't know much about Democrats.
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.
White
House Press Secretary Jen Psaki Says President Trump Started the Border Crisis, Joe Biden Trying to Clean it Up.
A remarkable display of Alinsky-inspired hubris today from the White House Press Secretary. [Psaki quote omitted for
brevity.] What this tells me is[,] in the background political operatives (and polling) are telling the JoeBama
administration the border crisis is a toxic issue that will likely hurt the Democrats in the next mid-term election cycle.
The White House response to deploy the Alinsky gaslighting is a very familiar tactic when there is urgency amid the liars to
get out in front of a politically damaging position. Unfortunately for Psaki, the reality, facts and a poor decision to
give Biden T-shirts to the illegal alien horde, begs to differ.
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:
Jen
Psaki says Biden deserves CREDIT for 'improvements' at the southern border after 'four years of destruction and chaos' under
Trump. White House press secretary Jen Psaki believes President Biden deserves credit for how he has handled
the border and blamed Donald Trump for the migrant surge and the overflowing immigration system. 'After four years of
an immigration system rooted in destructive and chaotic policies, President Biden is taking the challenge head on and
building a fair, orderly and human immigration system,' the White House press secretary said at the top of her briefing.
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...
Hmmm. What happened in January that would cause such a stampede? Oh yes — Joe Biden was installed as President and opened the border.
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:
Madame Vice President, in your view, what is the purpose of the U.S. border?
Are you aware of any countries that maintain a border policy like the one the Harris-Biden Administration is implementing?
In 2014, then-Vice President Joe Biden said the foreign nationals coming to the United States in caravans were "already Americans." As the current vice president of the United States, is that also your view?
When Central American parents send minor children to the border in the company of smugglers, does that in any way constitute child abuse?
Are you opposed to human trafficking?
Are you in favor of admitting any foreign national to the United States without screening for COVID-19 or any other disease?
Are you in favor of admitting any foreign national with a criminal record to the United States?
Are you aware of how many foreign nationals are now present in the United States illegally?
Should any foreign national illegally present in the United States ever be deported for any reason?
Should foreign nationals illegally (or legally) present in the United States ever vote in any U.S. election?
Should foreign nationals illegally present in the United States ever receive benefits funded by U.S. taxpayers?
Why in your view is the United States the preferred destination of migrants when countries such as Costa Rica, Panama, and Cuba are much closer?
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.
VP
Kamala Harris: Migrant surges 'not going to be solved overnight'. Vice President Kamala Harris said
Sunday [4/25/2021] a mix of aid and diplomacy will make progress in stemming the migrant surge, but she lowered expectations
for an immediate fix, saying the flight of people from Central America to the southern U.S. border is "not going to be solved
overnight." President Biden put Ms. Harris in charge of dealing with the migrant surge, which has become an early
and visible challenge for the administration. The White House has pointed to cyclical surges at the border, though some
migrants have cited Mr. Biden's own policy changes for coming. Ms. Harris hasn't visited the border, though
she has traveled extensively around the U.S., sparking criticism.
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.
AP:
Biden Mulling Offering Asylum or Other Legal Protections to Climate Migrants. President Joe Biden's
administration may provide immigration rights and citizenship to many foreign "climate migrants" who claim they are being
displaced by climate change, the Associated Press (AP) reported this week. [...] President Biden issued an executive order on
February 4 ordering national security adviser Jake Sullivan to produce a report by August 3 on "Planning for the Impact of
Climate Change on Migration," including options for protecting and resettling climate change-displaced persons. On
Thursday, Refugees International announced the formation of an expert task force on climate change and migration in response
to the same executive order. Referring to the "climate crisis" early this week, Secretary of State Antony Blinken
asserted that climate changes are fueling the surge of migrants from Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras that is currently
overwhelming resources and immigration authorities at America's border with Mexico.
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...
I was generally in agreement until the last sentence. The U.S. is not turning them away for purely political reasons.
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?
Biden
rings another dinner triangle for illegals to surge on in. If the entire Earth is frying up hot from global
warming, why would changing the latitude and longitude of a particular group of foreign nationals make any difference to
them, or, for that matter, help the Earth to 'heal,' as the lefties like to put it? Isn't the prospect of bringing
foreign nationals to hurricane and wildfire zones afflicting the states as a supposed result of global warming, taking them
from the frying pan to the fire? [...] The climate-change canard is specifically mentioned in lefty literature as the reason
why Central American peasants are leaving their subsistence farms and claiming asylum in the United States. Never mind
that urbanization of this kind has happened all over Latin America, and for many, many years. Climate had nothing to do
with it. Poverty did.
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?
Joe
Biden creating 'sophisticated, organized illegal immigration,' Michigan Republican charges. A first-term
Republican congresswoman accused the Biden administration of effectively abetting the cartels' human trafficking in the way
that it resettles children who come over the border alone. Rep. Lisa McClain of Michigan claimed the U.S.
government was facilitating the back-end of the smuggling process after a trip to tour a government holding facility in her
home state on Monday [4/19/2021]. "What I saw, quite honestly, was sophisticated, organized illegal immigration," said
McClain. "I choose those words very, very carefully because the system and the process that I observed was unbelievable."
If they HAD been wearing masks, they'd probably be dead.
Nearly
150 Illegals Caught By Border Patrol Inside Tractor-Trailer; NONE Were Wearing Masks. U.S. Border Patrol agents
caught nearly 150 illegal immigrants who were hiding inside a tractor-trailer — and none of them were wearing
masks. Agents in Laredo, Texas apprehended 149 illegal immigrants in the back of a tractor-trailer during a checkpoint
stop on Interstate Highway 35, Customs and Border Protection announced on Monday.
Unbearable conditions like this are usually seen only in Japanese commuter trains!
Border
Patrol scan detects one hundred and fifty migrants crammed inside tractor-trailer at Texas checkpoint. A total
of 149 undocumented immigrants were discovered inside a tractor trailer during a roadside inspection in Texas, U.S. Customs
and Border Protection said in a statement. U.S. Border Patrol agents ordered the driver of a commercial truck to stop
at a checkpoint on Interstate 36 [sic] north of Laredo on Friday. While scanning the truck, Border Patrol agents detected
abnormalities within the trailer. The agents then opened the truck's cargo area and found the migrants, CBP said in the
statement released Monday [4/19/2021].
The Editor says...
The only Interstate highway that goes to Laredo is Interstate 35.
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:
• The name and
location of each U.S. city and town where illegal immigrants have been sent, transported, or provided ability or funding to
travel to, or allowed to travel to by other funding including their own or private funding for all individuals who entered
the U.S. without visas; and
• For each named U.S. city or town, the total number of immigrants who
have been sent, transported, or provided ability or funding to travel to, or allowed to travel to by other funding including
their own or private funding to such city or town.
The measures being taken on the border are so drastic that federal
employees at entirely unrelated agencies were asked to take four months of paid leave to relocate to the southern border to
help find destinations for unaccompanied minors.
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...
The answer to your question depends on what your concern is. Brilliant.
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...
"Such as" the United States sounds reasonable, but what are the names of the other countries that the U.N. is pumping people into?
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...
Next thing you know, the illegal aliens will be getting Social Security checks.
'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...
If there is no crisis, why is he begging for help?
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...
The root causes appear to be the U.S. welfare-state gravy train, halting the construction of the border fence, absence of the National Guard
and the U.S. Army at the porous border, "anchor baby" laws, Spanish-language broadcasting, unlimited wire transfers ("remittances") of
money to the folks back home, and free medical care 24/7 at the nearest hospital emergency room. Vice President
Kamala Harris isn't going to do anything about any of it.
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]

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. [...]
Spreading COVID
• Biden requires CBP to allow COVID positive illegal migrants into our country and is spreading them across the country
• Cuomo sent COVID-positive elders into nursing homes, killing almost 15,000 vulnerable seniors there
Predictability of a self-created crisis
• The Biden border crisis was not only predictable but he was warned about what would happen
• Cuomo was warned by doctors who work in nursing homes about the risks to the other residents
Coverup
• Biden is refusing to allow the media and American people to see the conditions in which illegal immigrants are held, especially children, and has delayed releasing the numbers of illegals allowed entry or not
• Cuomo notoriously and probably illegally covered up the number of nursing home deaths
Refusing to use Trump-provided solutions
• Biden abandoned Trump's successful border security arrangements with Mexico, his safe third country agreements with Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras to apply for asylum in their home countries, and ended border wall construction
• Cuomo didn't take advantage of the Federal assistance in creating hospital facilities in the Javits Center and the USNS Comfort hospital ship
Lack of preparation
• Biden issued executive orders on the border without being prepared in terms of personnel, procedures, or facilities to deal with their consequences
• Cuomo left nursing homes being unprepared and unequipped in terms of personnel, procedures, and facilities to isolate those admitted with COVID or otherwise protect the other residents
Family separation
• Biden encouraged family separations by encouraging unaccompanied minors
• Cuomo caused permanent family separations with elders' deaths while isolated from their family in long-term care facilities
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.

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

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.

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.

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...
That's 70,137 per hotel room. Was that the lowest bidder?
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

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.

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.

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.

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."

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.
President
Trump Releases New Statement on Border Crisis Following DHS Secretary Mayorkas Pathetic Justifications on Sunday Talk
Shows. Department of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas was confronted today [3/21/2021] on multiple
mainstream media outlets about the complete failure of the JoeBama administration to handle a border crisis they
created. The secretary was apparently not prepared for the media to turn on him and stumbled through pathetic
justifications on television.
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

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...
Allow me to make a bold prediction: Joe Biden isn't going to the Mexican border.
Not this month. Not next month. Not ever.
[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:
• Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE)
• Rep. Maria Salazar (R-FL)
• Rep. Dan Newhouse (R-WA)
• Rep. David Valadao (R-CA)
• Rep. Fred Upton (R-MI)
• Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA)
• Rep. Chris Smith (R-NJ)
• Rep. Carlos Gimenez (R-FL)
• Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart (R-FL)
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...
There may be a million illegal immigrants by the summer, and another million by the winter; but a year from now, the
news media will still say, "there are 11 million illegal immigrants in the U.S.," as if that number is written in stone.
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.
Report: Biden [is] quietly
telling Mexico to curb [the] surge of migrants. The Biden administration has been quietly urging Mexico to increase its efforts to
stem the flow of Latin American migrants, according to a New York Times report Thursday [3/18/2021]. This report came the same day that
the administration announced plans to share millions of AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine doses with Mexico and Canada. At Thursday's press
briefing, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said the United States was planning to send 2.5 million doses of the vaccine to Mexico
and 1.5 million to Canada, adding that it was "not finalized yet, but that is our aim."
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...
Yes, but it will be Mexico with the addition of food stamps, AFDC, WIC, and food handouts. The Democrats will make sure all the
new arrivals are fully dependent on Big Government.
'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.

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"

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.

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."

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...
Attention all incompetent news writers: Please stop using the cliché "11 million illegal immigrants," as if
that's a physical constant. The actual number is probably three times that many.
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.
Funding
approved for refugee resettlement programs across NYS. On Monday, Assemblymember Jon Rivera and Senator Sean Ryan
announced that funding for the New York State Enhanced Services to Refugees Program had "overwhelming support" in both
Legislative houses. As part of the 2021 state budget, the Assembly approved $3 million in funding. The next steps
for the approval process are pending. The Enhanced Services to Refugees Program provides services so that refugees can
successfully integrate into local communities. The program began in 2017 in response to the federal government's pull
back on refugee resettlement support. Rivera and Ryan say refugees and immigrants have been instrumental in reversing
the population decline in cities like Buffalo. Over 90% settle in Upstate New York, which makes the Program "vital" to
the region.
The Editor says...
If the population declined in Buffalo, there must be a reason. There's no reason to bring in foreigners just so every
house in Buffalo will be occupied. How did this idea work out for France, England, Italy, Greece, and Germany?
Not too well.
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...
An effective president comes up with his own plans. If President Trump had left detailed plans on the desk,
Biden probably would have ignored them, and blamed Trump anyway.
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...
What if the actual number of illegal aliens in the U.S. is over 30 million — or (by the time the law is signed) close to 40 million?
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.

Plans To House 3,000 Immigrant Children At Dallas Convention Center. The U.S. government plans to use the

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.
Migrants
stuck at Mexico border thought they'd get easier entry: 'Biden promised us!' Mexico continues to struggle with
the sharply rising number of migrants turned away at the U.S. southern border, with many claiming they were "promised" by
President Biden that they could enter the country. The increased focus on the border situation has brought journalists
to Texas, where the problem is most severe: Migrant camps litter the border, with camps of dozens or hundreds of people
who are either waiting to enter the U.S. or were just turned back. New York Times reporters witnessed a number of
incidents where migrants were turned away from the border. Most were in tears, with some saying, "Biden promised us!"
as they returned to Mexico.
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.
Southern
border crisis might sink Biden immigration plan. The uncontrolled surge of migrants at the southern border is
being used as a major talking point against President Biden's preferred immigration legislation and his approach to the issue
generally. The Republican National Committee has characterized Biden's policy as "open borders and closed schools,"
hitting the administration on immigration and COVID-19 simultaneously. "Joe Biden's policies are creating a crisis at
the border," said RNC rapid response director Tommy Pigott in a statement. "Far from reversing these policies, however,
Biden is refusing to even recognize a crisis exists. It is a complete failure of leadership, and America's border
communities are paying the price."
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."

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...
Senator Schumer will also huff and puff and blow their houses down. I'm sure "they" — the people who
are rolling up their sleeves, whoever "they" are — are terrified that Chuck Schumer might return in a few months
and tell them "You've got to do better." Talk about a powerful incentive!
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.

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?
DHS
Pleads for Volunteers to Assist With 'Overwhelming' Surge at Southern Border. The Department of Homeland
Security (DHS) is seeking volunteers from among its agencies to assist in dealing with an "overwhelming" migrant surge at the
U.S.-Mexico border, as the Biden administration continues to deny that there's a crisis. "Today, I activated the
Volunteer Force to support Customs and Border Protection (CBP) as they face a surge in migration along the Southwest Border,"
DHS Secretary Mayorkas said in an email to employees on March 8, obtained by several news outlets. "You have likely
seen the news about the overwhelming numbers of migrants seeking access to this country along the Southwest Border," Mayorkas
said. "President Biden and I are committed to ensuring our Nation has a safe, orderly, and humane immigration system
while continuing to balance all of the other critical DHS missions."

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.

Putting Migrant Kids In 'Facilities Akin To Jails,' Separating Them From Parents 'For Weeks': Reports. Democrat
President Joe Biden is reportedly putting migrant children in detention facilities that resemble prisons and is separating
the children for weeks on end — both issues that Democrats and the media used to attack former President Donald
Trump during Trump's presidency. "The number of unaccompanied migrant children detained along the southern border has
tripled in the last two weeks to more than 3,250, filling facilities akin to jails as the Biden administration struggles to
find room for them in shelters," The New York Times reported. "The children are being held in facilities, managed by
the Customs and Border Protection agency, that were built for adults. The border agency has been the subject of
widespread criticism for the horrific conditions in its federal detention facilities, in which children are exposed to
disease, hunger and overcrowding."
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:
Thousands
of migrants crossing US border overwhelm government agents. Thousands of Central American migrants, many of
them unaccompanied children, have been streaming across the southern border in recent days, overwhelming government
agents. Many of those trying to cross the border had been told by Mexican officials that they would be able to enter
the US. In one camp on the Mexican side of the border, which had been set up two years ago, some asylum seekers
were told that may reopen their cases and they would eventually be able to enter the US to wait out the asylum process, according
to a CBS report. Mexican authorities have long tried to close the improvised camps that have been set up by migrants
attempting to cross into the US. The new influx is largely due to instability and spiraling COVID-19 infection rates
in Central American countries as well as perceptions of a shift in immigration rules under the Biden administration, according
to US Customs and Border Protection.
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.

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...
This part is news to me: I didn't know the government had direct and immediate control of Twitter.
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.

Dumps New Citizenship Test Which Asked About Communism and Electoral College. The Trump era added questions
included one about the Vietnam War and about the Electoral College.
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.

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.

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?
Migrant
smugglers take advantage of Texas deep freeze. Border Patrol agents in Texas were tipped off by a ranch hand
earlier this week to a suspicious Chevrolet Avalanche that had just loaded up illegal immigrants from the side of the
road. When agents caught up to the vehicle, they found a driver, a passenger and nine suspected illegal immigrants,
five of them in the cab and four in the truck bed, exposed to the elements with the wind chill temperature at 9 degrees
Fahrenheit. One woman was already dead and two more had to get emergency medical treatment because of hypothermia.
A consequence of the cold snap that's engulfed much of Texas is that some migrant smugglers are figuring it's the right time
to try to sneak people north out of the border areas, figuring the Border Patrol has its hands full with other duties right
now and that highway checkpoints will be shut down because of the 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.
Large
Migrant Group in Mexico Boards Train for U.S.. A large group of migrants, most likely seeking asylum in the
United States, were spotted heading north via a rail route known as La Bestia. The train departed Tierra Blanca,
Guanajuato, and will likely arrive at the U.S.-Mexico Border within days, according to Breitbart Texas sources. Mexican
immigration officials and municipal police in Tierra Blanca watched as hundreds boarded and departed. Their exact
destination is unknown, but history suggests the Rio Grande Valley is most likely.
The Editor says...
In this case, "boarding a train" does not mean buying a ticket and having a seat in a railroad car designed to carry passengers. It
means the migrants are climbing atop freight cars, which is presumably just as illegal in Mexico as it is here; but being illegal doesn't
matter to illegal immigrants.
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...
Even if remittances can't be stopped, they could still be taxed.
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...
Bias alert: What was so "harsh" and "restrictive" about President Trump's immigration policies? Were those
adjectives really necessary?
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...
It is not "Trump's rule." It has been a matter of federal law for
some time. And what happened
on January 27 at
the Supreme Court?
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.

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

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...
They don't allow such claims — even if they're true. Americans most certainly are at risk when immigrants come here,
especially those who have never been to a doctor, and those who
are running from the law.
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?
Biden
immigration plan grants citizenship to 11 million illegal immigrants. Presumptive Democratic presidential
nominee Joseph R. Biden on Wednesday [7/8/2020] formally embraced citizenship rights for 11 million illegal immigrants
and a full erasure of all of President Trump's get-tough border policies, as part of the party's new unity platform.
The former vice president would expand sanctuary locations, limit ICE's ability to deport criminals in local jails, and
reverse deportations for some military veterans already ousted because of criminal records. Perhaps no other issue
draws as stark a contrast between Mr. Biden and Mr. Trump as immigration.
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.

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...
"Keep[ing] the doors open" is the LAST thing the federal government should be concerned about. My guess is that
the majority of the people applying for citizenship are doing so to make it easier to sign up for food stamps and other handouts.
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

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.

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...
California
will pay illegal immigrants not included in coronavirus stimulus. California will be the first state to send
money to illegal immigrants who did not qualify for assistance under the $2.2 trillion federal coronavirus stimulus package
passed last month. Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom on Wednesday announced the allocation of $75 million in taxpayer
funds for $500 payments to 150,000 adult immigrants who are reeling from the economic effects of the coronavirus pandemic.
The Editor says...
Wouldn't it be far less expensive to deport them all? But that would require some concern about wasting the taxpayers' money.
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!
Millions
of taxpaying immigrants won't get stimulus checks. The $2.2 trillion package that Congress approved to offer
financial help during the coronavirus pandemic has one major exclusion: millions of immigrants who do not have legal status
in the U.S. but work here and pay taxes. [...] "It's hard because to the government, we don't exist," said Contreras Lopez,
who has lived in the U.S. for 30 years and has four grown children who are U.S. citizens.
The Editor says...
No Associated Press story (or Democratic Party press release, if there's any difference) would be complete without a pathetic
tear-jerking anecdote about some moocher pretending to be a victim. Well, lady, maybe you should have applied for citizenship,
while giving birth to your four anchor babies. Something tells me the federal gravy train already stops at your house on a
regular basis.
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:
Trump
admin to begin turning back all undocumented immigrants, asylum seekers at borders: report. The Trump
administration is reportedly planning to turn back all asylum seekers at both the northern and southern borders over concerns
regarding the coronavirus outbreak. Four administration officials told The New York Times on Tuesday that the policy
would apply to asylum seekers and any other migrant seeking to cross the border illegally. Ports of entry would remain
open to American citizens, green card holders and some foreigners with proper documentation as well as commercial traffic,
according to the report.
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.
90
Migrants Found Packed in Tractor-Trailer at Texas Border Checkpoint. Laredo Sector Border Patrol agents
stopped a collection of 90 migrants from being smuggled into the U.S. interior. The cartel-connected smugglers locked
90 migrants, including five unaccompanied juveniles, inside a tractor-trailer. Laredo North Station agents assigned to
the Interstate 35 immigration checkpoint on the night of March 5 observed a gray tractor pulling a white trailer approaching
for inspection. During an initial inspection, a K-9 agent alerted to the possible presence of drug or human cargo in
the rear of the trailer, according to information obtained from Laredo Sector Border Patrol officials.
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.

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.

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:
City
Council introduces bill to bar the term 'illegal alien'. The [New York] City Council's Committee on Immigration
is mulling a bill that would bar municipal government workers from using the terms "alien," "illegal alien" or "illegal
immigrant" in official documents. "I introduced this bill because words matter and the language we use or choose to use
has power and consequences," said Councilman Francisco Moya (D-Queens) — who first floated the proposal late last
month — in a Thursday [1/9/2020] committee hearing. The legislation proposes the term "noncitizen" as an
alternative. "This isn't about replacing one word with another," said Moya. "It is about treating the individuals
these terms describe as human beings."
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...
"The American Dream" is a lofty and abstract goal, not an inalienable right. It is a matter of folklore, not law.
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.

Handing out tamales? Isn't that presumptuously racist? Wouldn't it be more appropriate to
give each one a slice of pizza or a Big Mac?
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.

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.

So much for the claim that "immigrants make our communities stronger."
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.

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."

Admission to the United States is not a human right.
20
metro areas are home to six-in-ten unauthorized immigrants in U.S. Most of the United States' 10.7 million
unauthorized immigrants live in just 20 major metropolitan areas, with the largest populations in New York, Los Angeles,
Houston and Dallas-Fort Worth, according to new Pew Research Center estimates based on government data. The nation's
unauthorized immigrant population is highly concentrated, more so than the U.S. population overall. In 2016, the 20
metro areas with the most unauthorized immigrants were home to 6.5 million of them, or 61% of the estimated nationwide
total. By contrast, only 37% of the total U.S. population lived in those metro areas.
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

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...
What this "climate migration" idea omits is the simple observation that there are closer destinations than the U.S. For example,
if you have a problem with "mudslides in Sierra Leone," perhaps you could find a nicer place in Liberia. Oh, but Liberia doesn't
offer food stamps, Medicaid, school lunches, public housing, SNAP, TANF, SSI, AFDC, and WIC, in exchange for your lifetime of Socialist
Democrat votes. You'd be better off dealing with the mudslides than living in low-level slavery for the rest of your life.
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...
There has never been any popular demand in this country for immigrants from other countries. The influx of foreigners and
so-called refugees is entirely the work of the government and the immigrants themselves. Most of the people who are called "refugees" are
just indigent families and destitute individuals from poor countries that lack welfare programs, and they're only coming here to get free meals.
The newcomers are tolerated and welcomed only as long as they assimilate, work, learn English, and behave like us. Nobody thinks their
little town would be a better place if only a few hundred strangers from the other side of the world showed up tomorrow. The New York
Times is pushing the idea of "refugee resettlement" to whitewash Barack H. Obama's legacy and to support the arrival of future Democrats.
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...
Workplace diversity adds nothing to productivity. For example, Japan is one of the most productive countries in the world, and the least diverse.
God himself originated workplace diversity at the Tower of Babel, and inflicted it upon mankind — as punishment! — to stop
the entire project overnight.
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.

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.

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

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

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,

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:
City
bans calling someone an 'illegal alien' out of hate. It's now against the law in New York City to threaten
someone with a call to immigration authorities or refer to them as an "illegal alien" when motivated by hate. The
restrictions — violations of which are punishable by fines of up to $250,000 per offense — are outlined
in a 29-page directive released by City Hall's Commission on Human Rights. "'Alien' — used in many laws to
refer to a 'noncitizen' person — is a term that may carry negative connotations and dehumanize immigrants, marking
them as 'other,'" reads one passage of the memo. "The use of certain language, including 'illegal alien' and
'illegals,' with the intent to demean, humiliate, or offend a person or persons constitutes discrimination."
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...
$8,000 is quite a lot of money in Cameroon, where the per capita income is
about $3,352. The article goes on
to say that this fellow's "journey took him from his home country to Turkey, Ecuador, Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica,
Nicaragua, Honduras, Guatemala, and finally to Mexico," which leads to the obvious question, "If you are fleeing from
tyranny, destitution, civil unrest, terrorism, or war, what was wrong with Turkey, Ecuador, Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica,
Nicaragua, Honduras, Guatemala, and Mexico?"
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...
Yes, and an impenetrable wall would reduce illegal border crossings to zero.
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.

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.
AFL-CIO
Union Comes Out in Support of Illegal Alien Workers Taking U.S. Jobs. In a remarkable admission today [8/8/2019] on Twitter
AFL-CIO Labor Union President Richard Trumka supports the principle of illegal alien workers taking the jobs of American workers.
This is quite a bucket of sunlight upon a previously hidden agenda.

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...
There may be hospitals in Mexico, but they don't offer free U.S. citizenship with every birth.
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...
It's time to escalate to Level Two: The razor wire should have about 3,000 volts on it, pulsing like a stun gun.
When dejected "refugees" limp back to Honduras with burned hands and fingers, the word will get out, believe me. If necessary,
the border can be strengthened and fortified to match any invading force.
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.

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...
Two thousand? That's all? That's just background noise.
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...
Almost every country in the world has "violence and political instability." The U.S. does not have the
facilities to accomodate everyone who would be better off living here.
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...
The women who come to the U.S. with an assortment of pathetic anecdotes about their mistreatment put themselves in danger by
making the trip, and probably would have been much safer if they had stayed home.
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

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.

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.
Immigrant
advocates prepare for ICE sweeps: 'The effect is terror. We're getting call after call after call'. Some
people had called the San Bernardino Community Service Center because of rumors, which turned out to be unfounded, that
immigration raids were underway in their neighborhoods. Others shared that they had bought food and other basics so
that they would not have to leave their homes next week.
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?
Migrants
complain of poor conditions at US holding centers. The Trump administration is facing growing complaints from
migrants about severe overcrowding, meager food and other hardships at border holding centers, with some people at an
encampment in El Paso being forced to sleep on the bare ground during dust storms.
The Editor says...
If you don't like it here, turn around and go home. And be sure to tell everybody how terrible your experience was!
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.

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...
By passing the American Dream and Promise Act, Democrats demonstrate their ignorance. America does not owe illegal aliens
anything. There is no need to promise them anything. Illegal aliens are not entitled to anything.
Funding for "border crisis relief" means they intend to make life more comfortable for those who have not yet sneaked in.
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...
This action is entirely symbolic and utterly futile, unless they have the votes to override a presidential veto.
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...
On the whole, Texas doesn't have a problem with water. As of this
writing, all the lakes in the eastern
two-thirds of Texas are full. El Paso has an overpopulation problem, caused by the Democratic Party; that is,
the wide-open international border. The planet is not warming and the weather patterns are not more extreme than in
decades past. When people complain about fake news, this is what they mean.
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:
• 109,144 individuals were apprehended at the border in April alone.
• 103,492 illegal and inadmissible aliens were apprehended by during the month of March alone.
• 76,325 apprehensions occurred in February.
• Border arrests have reached their highest point in 12 years.
• February numbers showed a 1,744% increase in asylum claims.
• Family unit apprehensions by Border Patrol jumped 311% during the first five months of this fiscal year over the first five months of last fiscal year.
• 4,117 migrants were apprehended on a single day in March.
• Just 6% of the people crossing the border are expressing a credible fear and requesting asylum in one sector, according to an immigration official.
• A recent survey found that one-third of Guatemala's population wants to come to the U.S.
• Over 1% of the entire populations of Guatemala and Honduras have entered the United States this fiscal year, according to DHS.
• There are at least 1.9 million known criminal aliens sitting in U.S. jails.
• Human smugglers are running radio ads in Central America, according to a Border Patrol official.
• ICE is having to reallocate resources to deal with "fake families" trying to manipulate border policies.
• Now Border Patrol reports that children are also being rented and "recycled" to defraud immigration officials.
• Catch-and-release policies also sent an estimated 7,000 illegal immigrants into Tuscon, Ariz., over an eight-month period alone.
• Border Patrol agents in Texas over just the last week apprehended 5,500 migrants per day.
If you weren't aware of the severity of the immigration crisis, that ought to give you a pretty good snapshot. And
that's just a sampling of stories from the last few weeks.
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...
The immigration officers are just doing their jobs, and the news media covers the event like it's an act of terrorism.
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...
Atrocious grammar alert: The phrase could add up to at least
$150 billion means it "could add a maximum of a minimum of $150 billion."
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.
Cloward and Piven
on Steroids. Many Americans are asking why the Democrats and their running dog RINO accomplices in Congress are
so adamantly refusing to move to even slow, much less stop, the massive invasion of illegal aliens across our southern
border. It's an excellent question to which there are seemingly myriad answers, many of which are partially
correct. However, underlying them all is one that is now fundamental, the driver, that is propelling the juggernaught
[sic]: the Cloward and Piven strategy.
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:
Under
the bridge: migrants held in El Paso tell of dust, cold and hunger. For three days and nights, Maria and her
14-year-old son were penned behind barbed wire, under a bridge in El Paso. Cold, hungry, surrounded by sick and crying
babies and with only the stony ground for a bed, her first experience of America was not as she had imagined. "I came
here to work and get a better future for my family," she said. "I never thought I would go through this."
The Editor says...
Hey, Maria. Tell them you want to go back to Mexico, right now. Just say, "I dare you to deport me!"
They will probably let you leave. Then, for the rest of your life, tell everyone in Mexico how terrible it was in the U.S.
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.
ICE
releasing 1,000 illegal immigrant family members a day. Deportation officers are cutting loose more than 1,000
illegal immigrant family members a day, setting them free into border states as the surge of migrations overwhelms the
government's ability to handle them, officials revealed Thursday [3/21/2019]. Over the last three months, about 107,000
family members were caught at the border and then released, with ankle monitoring devices or check-in schedules and the often
vain hope that they will show up for their court hearings and deportation.
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:
Enforcing the law is not a hardline immigration policy.
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...
The phrase we are a nation of immigrants is a deceptive canard. Most of the people in this country were born here.
While it is true that at some point in history, everybody's ancestors immigrated to North America, the same is true of every other
country in the world.
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...
Redundancy alert: "As many as" and "up to" carry the same meaning, so it isn't necessary to use both phrases.
Five points off. See me after class.
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?
Oath
Keepers: We Urge President Trump to Deploy Active Duty Troops, En Masse, on Mexico Border. We the
military and law enforcement of Oath Keepers call on President Trump to deploy infantry and other combat arms troops to the
border with Mexico in large enough numbers to secure the full length of the border against all illegal foreign
invaders. The just-announced joint CBP/DOD operation, which will supply military mobility, engineering, medical, and
planning support for the Customs and Border Protection (CBP), is a step in the right direction, and may be sufficient to
handle the specific mass caravans of illegals, including MS-13 gang members and criminals from the Middle East, that are
currently in the news, but it falls far short of what is actually needed to secure the border against the ongoing daily
invasion by illegal aliens.
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.
Hondurans Paint Swastika On American
Flag, Set It On Fire; Wave Honduran Flags, Give Us The Finger. These are the people demanding we open our
borders. You can see this photo as the very final image in this Associated Press slideshow covering the migrant caravan
headed to the US.
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

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...
As long as the mob is headed for the exit, on the U.S. side, I suspect the cops won't do much to slow them down.
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.
Why
caravan migrants wave Honduran flags and burn tires in front of U.S. embassy. Waving the flag of the country
they're desperate not to be sent back to, and burning tires in front of the Tegucigalpa-located embassy of the nation they're
supposedly desperate to live in, the Honduras caravan migrants, their organizers and their supporters don't exactly come off
as big fans of the United States.
Who is feeding the five thousand?
Migrant
caravan re-forming to resume push north, uncertain if it can reach US. About 2,000 Central American migrants
who avoided Mexican law enforcement at a border bridge and swam or floated across from Guatemala have decided to reconstitute
their mass caravan and continue the push north toward the U.S. Gathered at a park in the border city of Ciudad Hidalgo,
the migrants voted, then marched to the bridge to urge those still there to cross the river and join them, The Associated
Press reported on Saturday night [10/20/2018]. "Let's all walk together!" and "Yes we can!" they cried, defying warnings
to turn back this week from President Trump, who has sought to make immigration, border security and the human caravan from
Central America priority campaign issues ahead of next month's midterm elections.
The Editor says...
Media bias alert: "'Let's all walk together!' and 'Yes we can!' they cried," but I'll bet they weren't "crying" in English.
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...
When conservatives complain about media bias, nothing changes. When liberals complain, headlines change overnight.
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...
This is a pitiful story, but even so, the United States is not a repository for all the down-and-out losers in the world. Those
who are likely to become a public charge are inadmissible.
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...
Great. Everybody's a victim. What if they bring domestic abuse into this country?
What if they bring gang violence into this country?
What if they're only coming here to be freeloaders? Where are
Price and Yoder going to be when it becomes necessary to round up all these "victims" and throw them out?
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.
Massive
court filing says illegal immigrant families suffered from U.S. food, chill, disease. Illegal immigrant families are
furious at the treatment they received after being detained at the border, complaining of bad burritos, cold soups, being forced to
drink water out of toilets and contagious disease outbreaks that have swept through the facilities. The complaints are detailed
in a massive court filing on behalf of illegal immigrant children that claims the government is breaking its promise to provide
quality care for juveniles who end up in the custody of the Homeland Security Department.
The Editor says...
We've been saying the same thing for decades: When you cross the border, don't drink the water.
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."
Controversy
Erupts Over Sample Lawn Mowing Company Business Card. A North Texas lawn mowing company has come under fire,
after an old, sample business card resurfaced. The controversial message has angered some people. Jeff Hinkle is
the owner of MowMasters lawn mowing service. He says the card in question was a sample card from three years ago.
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...
There are a lot of workers from Mexico and farther south who are coming here to work as roofers, lawn mowers, and ditch diggers.
They've probably never given a thought to "occupational safety," nor would they expect the government to defend them, if they have entered
illegally. Moreover, Mr. Ellison makes it sound as if all 12 million (or more) illegal aliens have come here by invitation.
That is not true. Nobody has invited anyone to break the law, except by virtually guaranteeing (in sanctuary cities) that the laws will
not be enforced.
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...
I'm having a hard time finding this to be an objectionable condition. It sounds like the government is prepared to
contain an onslaught of illegal aliens whenever they arrive. If they never arrive, that's a good thing.
On the other hand, the beds are empty because the feds released a bunch of people "into communities," which means the feds are
probably paying some Catholic charity organization to house these same people — just long enough to let them vanish
into some inner city neighborhood. If true, that's the objectionable part of the story.
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.

Court Says Foreign Nationals Have No Due Process Rights Here. Contrary to what the liberal media and

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."

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

The Associated Press must have intended this to be an immigration sob story. I think it's hilarious.

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]
