Is it more than coincidence that thousands of migrants from Central America are seeking to enter the United States illegally just two weeks before the midterm election? Who are these people? Who's paying for their transportation, food and expenses? Why doesn't the media find out? Is this migrant caravan a ploy by Democrats to win sympathy from Hispanic voters so they'll reverse their growing approval of Trump administration policies and vote against their interests?
One definition of invasion seems to fit what is transpiring at the southern border: "The entrance or advent of anything troublesome or harmful."
President Trump's immediate response to the migrant march toward our border was to threaten to reduce, or cut off aid to Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador if those countries do not do more to stem the human tide. That approach might work temporarily, but there remains a greater problem only Congress can solve.
Border Patrol agents are catching a higher percentage of those who try to cross the border illegally, according to a Department of Homeland Security report. But "nearly one out of every 10 illegal immigrants crossing the southwest border," the Washington Times wrote in 2016, "is now demanding asylum." Because of laws Congress refuses to strengthen, most undocumented immigrants allowed to stay in the U.S. until their cases are adjudicated, but nearly all of them, the CPB reports, fail to show up at a removal hearing before a federal judge.
It hasn't taken long for word to get to those who want to get free stuff from America that if they can just set foot on U.S. soil and are from countries other than Mexico, with which we have a repatriation agreement, they are likely to remain here.
Congressional Democrats are apparently fine with catch-and-release policies because they see the likely electoral benefits. According to Customs and Border Protection (CPB), of the 94,285 Central American family units apprehended last year, 99 percent of them remain in the country today. CPB also reports that 98 percent of the 31,754 unaccompanied minors from the Northern Triangle of Central America remain in the country.
It was Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) who backed the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act that prevents the speedy return of unaccompanied minors from non-contiguous countries. The Clinton-era Flores Settlement Agreement further hinders the government's ability to detain and remove alien family units.
No country can maintain its character and purpose if it has what amounts to open borders. A common language is lost, there are fewer incentives to assimilate and immigrants can bring with them their own agendas and objectives. The hyphenating of various ethnic groups is proof enough that they seem to be less willing to be called simply Americans.
Liberal advocates of open borders accuse those who call for legal and orderly immigration and assimilation of being racists who are fearful of losing the country's European heritage. Perhaps there are some who feel that way, but I would think most want to maintain the character and culture of a nation for which their parents and grandparents fought, and in some cases died, to preserve.
Yes, the United States has a long history of racism, a history that plagues us still today, dividing us at a time when unity and common purpose are most needed. But if people hostile to us -- say Russians, communists from China, religious extremists from the Middle East -- were attempting to cross our border in large numbers, would most people be alarmed? Shouldn't they be?
Illegal immigration should be a top campaign issue, as it was in 2016, when President Trump promised to build a wall to protect our southern border. If Republicans maintain their congressional majorities, as seems increasingly likely, they should hurry to fund the wall and pass legislation to make it easier to deport those who break our laws.
MICHELE MALKIN
The rise of the Mexican LA RAZA supremacy fascist welfare state built by the Democrat Party
Understanding LA RAZA / UNIDOSus:
The U.S. tax dollar funded Mexican fascist party which is the fastest growing political party in America
Only in America could critics of a group called "The Race" be labeled racists. Such is the triumph of left-wing identity chauvinists, whose aggressive activists and supine abettors have succeeded in redefining all opposition as "hate."
Previous generations of immigrants did not believe they were racially superior to Americans. That is the view of La Raza Cosmica , by Jose Vasconcelos, Mexico’s former education minister and a presidential candidate. According to this book, republished in 1979 by the Department of Chicano Studies at Cal State LA, students of Scandinavian, Dutch and English background are dullards, blacks are ugly and inferior, and those “Mongols” with the slanted eyes lack enterprise. The superior new “cosmic” race of Spaniards and Indians is replacing them, and all Yankee “Anglos.” LLOYD BILLINGSLEY/ FRONTPAGE mag
COST to AMERICANS of the LA RAZA MEXICAN OCCUPATION in CALIFORNIA ALONE: $2,370 per legal.
All that “cheap” labor is staggeringly expensive!
"Most Californians, who have seen their taxes increase while public services deteriorate, already know the impact that mass illegal immigration is having on their communities, but even they may be shocked when they learn just how much of a drain illegal immigration has become." FAIR President Dan Stein.

Californians bear an enormous fiscal burden as a result of an illegal alien population estimated at almost 3 million residents. The annual expenditure of state and local tax dollars on services for that population is $25.3 billion. That total amounts to a yearly burden of about $2,370 for a household headed by a U.S. citizen.
MEXICO DECLARES WAR ON THE UNITED STATES
THE INVASION:
WHICH SIDE OF THE OPEN BORDER DO YOU THINK THE DEMOCRAT PARTY WILL SIDE WITH?
“The radicals seek nothing less than secession from the United States whether to form their own sovereign state or to reunify with Mexico. Those who desire reunification with Mexico are irredentists who seek to reclaim Mexico's "lost" territories in the American Southwest.” Maria Hsia Chang Professor of Political Science, University of Nevada Reno
"Mexican president candidate Andrés Manuel López Obrador called for mass immigration to the United States, declaring it a "human right". We will defend all the (Mexican) invaders in the American," Obrador said, adding that immigrants "must leave their towns and find a life, job, welfare, and free medical in the United States."
"Fox’s Tucker Carlson noted Thursday that Obrador has previously proposed ranting AMNESTY TO MEXICAN DRUG CARTELS. “America is now Mexico’s social safety net, and that’s a very good deal for the Mexican ruling class,” Carlson added."
FACT CHECK: DO 179 MILLION LATIN AMERICANS WANT TO MIGRATE TO THE US?
9:07 AM 10/25/2018 David Sivak | Fact Check Editor
Conservative commentator and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich claimed that 179 million Latin Americans would like to migrate to the U.S.
“I think the average person, look, they’re – Gallup did a survey – 179 million people in Latin America would like to come to the United States,” he said on “
Fox News Sunday .”
Verdict: False
Gallup estimates that 147 million people around the globe want to migrate to the U.S., and of those, 37 million are from Latin America.
Fact Check:
Gingrich made the claim while discussing a
caravan of Central American migrants that has been making its way to the U.S. The caravan has become a flashpoint issue ahead of the
midterm elections for Republicans who insist that more needs to be done to secure the Southern border.
“Now, at what point do we draw a number? And when you draw the number – I don’t care how big it is – Nancy Pelosi can say, ‘Oh, I will take 12 million.’ Fine,” said Gingrich. “Is she then going to control the border? Is she then going to confront people?”
He cited Gallup for the 179 million figure, but a spokesperson for the polling agency provided The Daily Caller with a much lower estimate – 37 million. TheDC contacted Gingrich, who said that he misread a
2017 Gallup survey .
From 2013 to 2016, Gallup conducted interviews with nearly 600,000 adults in 156 countries to gauge how many people globally would like to move to another country. “Ideally, if you had the opportunity, would you like to move permanently to another country, or would you prefer to continue living in this country?” they asked.
Nearly 710 million people worldwide expressed a desire to relocate, and
147 million of those people named the U.S. as where they’d like to live, the most of any country. “The main draws to America appear to be two things: People know someone living here or they are looking for a good job,” writes Gallup.
A substantial percentage of Latin Americans, particularly Central Americans, would like to relocate to the U.S. Gallup
reported that 30 percent of Hondurans, 24 percent of Salvadorans and 17 percent of Guatemalans wanted to move.
But only a quarter of the 147 million potential migrants estimated by Gallup are from Latin America. They found that, among other countries, 16 million people from China, 15 million from India, 8 million from Ethiopia and 7 million from Nigeria would move to the U.S.
The numbers are especially high for China and India because they have the world’s largest populations, totaling
2.7 billion in 2017. Only 1 percent to 2 percent of people in those countries expressed a desire to relocate to the U.S.
Gallup, as well as multiple immigration experts, stressed that just because a person says they would like to relocate doesn’t mean that he or she would actually do so. “It’s widely recognized that many wouldn’t,”
Donald Kerwin , executive director for the Center for Migration Studies of New York, told TheDC.
Nearly
400,000 migrants were apprehended by U.S. Customs and Border Protection at the Southwest border in fiscal year 2018.
