THE INVASION OF AMERICA... to keep wages depresssed - DHS EXPECTING MORE THAN ONE MILLION INVADERS

DHS report: 1 million illegal immigrants expected this year, 53,077 family units in March

The U.S. Border Patrol expects to apprehend nearly 1 million illegal immigrants this year, a decade high, according to a Department of Homeland Security panel charged with recommending fixes to the broken immigration system.
“Apprehensions by USBP, currently at levels not seen in a decade, will approach one million in FY19 unless actions are immediately taken,” said the interim report from the Customs and Border Patrol Family and Child Custody Panel.
“The unabated 600% surge of [family units] from Central America to our borders and properly caring for this population have overwhelmed the entire government and brought our border security and immigration management systems to the point of collapse,” said the report.

The Customs and Border Patrol Family and Child Custody Panel showed a decade high surge in apprehensions.
It showed that 53,077 “family unit" immigrants were apprehended last month alone. It projected more than 500,000 in fiscal 2019.
The report released in mid-April generated some news for recommending immediate changes to stall the freeing of illegal immigrants into the country.
But it also included new numbers on the border crisis and blunt assessments of how easy it is for illegal immigrants to game the system and stay in the country for years.
Proponents of tougher immigration rules have long claimed that current rules make it easy for illegal immigrants to stay in the country and the nonpartisan report agreed.
The executive summary lays out the issue in one paragraph:
After being held for several days at inadequate and overcrowded holding areas at USBP stations, most of the adults -- provided they have a child with them and have stated that they fear returning to their country of origin -- are issued Notices to Appear (NTA) at a later time before an immigration judge somewhere in the U.S. and then dropped at a local bus station or delivered to already overwhelmed non-profit shelters. The NTA, combined with long delays in the adjudication of asylum claims, means that these migrants are guaranteed several years of living (and in most cases working) in the U.S. Even if the asylum hearing and appeals ultimately go against the migrant, he or she still has the practical option of simply remaining in the U.S. illegally, where the odds of being caught and removed remain very low. A consequence of this broken system, driven by grossly inadequate detention space for family units and a shortage of transportation resources, is a massive increase in illegal crossings of our borders, almost entirely driven by the increase in FMU migration from Central America.

THE SAUDI BUTCHERING OF 37 GAYS.... Once a Muslim, Always a Murderer! - Five of the 37 'terrorists' tortured and beheaded by Saudi Arabia were gay lovers, say confessions 'extracted by Bin Salman's torturers' in nation where homosexuality is punishable by death

Five of the 37 'terrorists' tortured and beheaded by Saudi Arabia were gay lovers, say confessions 'extracted by Bin Salman's torturers' in nation where homosexuality is punishable by death 

  • Saudi Arabia's interior ministry announced Tuesday it had executed 37 nationals 
  • One allegedly confessed to having gay relationships with four of his co-accused
  • Court documents have revealed how many disputed their 'confessions' at trial 
  • After the executions one of the condemned was crucified and put on display 
Five victims of a Saudi mass execution were gay lovers, according to a confession which appeared at their Sharia court trial.  
One of the 37 men beheaded on Tuesday allegedly admitted to having sex with four of his co-accused 'terrorists,' but many complained at trial their confessions were obtained through torture.
The Shia man's homosexual relationships appeared in lines alleging he confessed to hating the state and the Sunni sect, the court documents obtained by CNN showed.
Homosexuality is punishable by death in the Gulf state which adheres to Sharia law.

The court document obtained by CNN stated: 'He said that he did all this because he belonged to the Shia sect and because he was against the Sunni sect, and because of his hate for the state and its men and its security forces.'
But the man denied the charges against him and his lawyer claimed the confession was totally fabricated.  
He was among fourteen convicted of forming a 'terror cell' in the city of Awamiya after anti-government demonstrations in 2011 and 2012.
One of the condemned - Munir al-Adam - is recorded as saying: 'Those aren't my words. I didn't write a letter. This is defamation written by the interrogator with his own hand.' 
Al-Adam was just 23 when he was arrested at a government checkpoint in April 2012.

He was beaten on the soles of his feet and had to crawl on his hands and knees for days.
As a five-year-old boy he had lost his hearing in one ear following an accident, but after torture he lost hearing in the other and was left totally deaf. The 27-year-old was executed on Tuesday.
Two of those beheaded were just 16 and 17 when they were arrested - including one who was set to start a new life in the US at Western Michigan University. 
Mujtaba al-Sweikat, then 17, was severely beaten all over his body, including on the soles of his feet, before 'confessing' to crimes including attending protests in 2012.
In 2017, staff at the university said the English language and pre-finance studies student showed 'great promise' and called for him to be released.  
Abdulkarim al-Hawaj, 21, was the youngest executed, four years after being arrested in the country's Shia-majority Eastern province for spreading information about protests on WhatsApp. 
At the time of his arrest, staff at Western Michigan University said the English language and pre-finance studies student, Mujtaba al-Sweikat, showed 'great promise' and called for him to be released

Under international law, putting to death anyone who was under 18 at the time of the crime is strictly prohibited.
Human rights charity Reprieve said al-Hawaj was beaten, tortured with electricity and chained with his hands above his head until he 'confessed' to his crimes.   
Reprieve said both men were sentenced to death at the end of 'sham trials' when they were denied access to lawyers.
It claimed they were held for months in solitary confinement and their convictions were solely based on their 'confessions' which were extracted under torture.
At his trial, al-Hawaj was convicted on cyber crime charges including spreading information on WhatsApp 'as proscribed by the cyber crime bill' and sentenced to death.

Another victim, Hussein Mohammed al-Musallam, said in court: 'Nothing in these confessions is correct and I cannot prove that I was forced to do it. But medical reports ... show the effects of torture on my body.'
State-run media said on Tuesday those executed had 'adopted extremist ideologies and formed terrorist cells with the aim of spreading chaos and provoking sectarian strife'. 
The U.N. human rights chief condemned the beheadings, saying most were minority Shi'ite Muslims who may not have had fair trials and at least three were minors when sentenced.  
The sentences were carried out in Riyadh, the Muslim holy cities of Mecca and Medina, central Qassim province and Eastern Province, home to the country's Shiite minority.
Three other prisoners who were under 18 at the time of their alleged crimes, Ali al-Nimr, Dawood al-Marhoon and Abdullah al-Zaher, remain on death row. 
Al-Marhoon told Reprieve he was tortured and made to sign a blank document, to which Saudi officials then added his 'confession'.  
Executions in the ultra-conservative kingdom are usually carried out by beheading.  
At least 100 people have been executed in Saudi Arabia since the beginning of the year, according to a count based on official data released by SPA.

Last year, the oil-rich Gulf state carried out the death sentences of 149 people, according to Amnesty International, which said only Iran was known to have executed more people.
Rights experts have repeatedly raised concerns about the fairness of trials in Saudi Arabia, governed under a strict form of Islamic law.
People convicted of terrorism, homicide, rape, armed robbery and drug trafficking face the death penalty, which the government says is a deterrent for further crime.
