SiriusXM Patriot, in coordination with Breitbart News, will premiere a limited four-part series titled, “Disorder at the Border,” which chronicles the day-to-day experiences of United States Border Patrol agents.
In November 2019, SiriusXM Patriot and Breitbart News had the rare opportunity to follow Border Patrol agents while patrolling and apprehending migrants along the U.S.-Mexico border where the Mexican Drug Cartels traffic large quantities of weapons, drugs, and humans every day.
The four-part series features a front-line look for listeners at Border Patrol agents’ jobs on both land and water along the Rio Grande Valley. The documentary is narrated by Breitbart News Editor in Chief Alex Marlow and features Breitbart News’ Cartel Chronicles project co-founders Brandon Darby and Ildefonso Ortiz, Breitbart News reporters Bob Price and John Binder, and Breitbart News Video Editor Matt Perdie.
“Illegal migrants have become big business for Mexican cartels. The cartels are in complete control of the border and no one crosses without paying a hefty fee,” SiriusXM’s Vice President of Talk Programming Liz Aiello told Breitbart News. “Often, they’re abandoned once on the other side and they’re not prepared to handle the harsh elements of southern Texas.”
The cartels’ monopoly on human smuggling and drug trafficking at the southern border results in the large flow of illegal immigration to the U.S. every year, month, week, and day. The scheme is extremely lucrative, as migrants must pay their smugglers before their crossings and owe a debt to the cartels once they have reached the U.S.
At one point in the series, Border Patrol agents scramble to locate migrants whom they know have just crossed the Rio Grande.
In another moment, SiriusXM Patriot and Breitbart News followed a Border Patrol agent on foot into 25-foot high field of bamboo and sugar cane — all of which are used by migrants to hide from authorities after they have crossed into the U.S.
While traveling on Department of Homeland Security (DHS) boats in the Rio Grande, two Border Patrol agents explain how scouts for the cartels serve as lookouts for illegal smugglers not only on the Mexico side but also on the U.S. side of the border.
Many times, U.S. citizens living along the Rio Grande will spot scouts for the cartels and call to alert Border Patrol of their locations.
“[There are] a lot of friendlies too, you know, there are a lot of people who will pick up the phone and call us and let us know,” one agent said. “They’ve got us on speed dial.”
“The listener will feel like they’re standing there with us,” Aiello said.
Already, Breitbart News has released
exclusive video footage chronicling a complex smuggling operation by the Los Zetas Cartel in the Rio Bravo, Texas, neighborhood along the Rio Grande. Likewise, Breitbart News
captured video footage of unsecured border regions in Roma, Texas, where the headquarters of the Gulf Cartel sits directly across the Rio Grande with little-to-no security in between.
“Disorder at the Border” premieres Tuesday, February 25 on SiriusXM Patriot Channel 125 at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time. Episode 2 will air on February 27 at 9:00 p.m. Eastern Time, and episode three will air on Saturday, February 29, at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time. The series finale will air on Sunday, March 1, at 3:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. Eastern Time.

ANN COULTER EXPOSES TRUMP’S “WALL” HOAX
In fact, Trump is steadily moving in the precise opposite
direction of what he promised.
Illegal immigration is on track to hit the highest levels in
more than a decade, and Trump has willfully decided to keep amnesty advocates
Jared, Ivanka, Mick Mulvaney, Marc Short, and Mercedes Schlapp in the White
House. For all his talk about immigration, did he ever consider hiring people
who share his MAGA vision?
Video shows climbers surmounting border wall
Trump claimed 'impossible to climb'
A popular video clip shows two climbers
using a ladder and rope to successfully cross a border wall President Trump
claimed was "impossible to climb."
In a visit to the southern border in
September, Trump claimed that portions of newly built wall along the
U.S.-Mexico border near Tijuana were reinforced and even "championship
mountain climbers" were unable to cross them. A video posted by
photojournalist J. Omar Ornelas, however, shows two individuals using a ladder
and other tools to cross the border successfully.
The president also noted the recent throttle in immigration numbers and
credited the newly built wall. "People aren't even coming up," Trump
said. "You see the numbers are going way down, and we're not doing a catch
and release anymore."
The video of the climbers was widely
shared as critics of Trump's border wall policy championed the effort of the
migrant climbers to disprove the president's claim. Several hundred miles of
border wall are currently under construction at the southern border,
though no new fencing has been completed since Trump took office.
While the "impossible to
climb" claim was disproven, the Department of Homeland Security claims the
wall's efficacy cannot be understated. "When it comes to stopping drugs
and illegal aliens from crossing our borders, border walls have proven to be
extremely effective," a statement said. "Border security relies on a combination
of border infrastructure, technology, personnel and partnerships with law
enforcement at the state, local, tribal, and federal level. For example, when
we installed a border wall in the Yuma Sector, we have seen border
apprehensions decrease by 90 percent."
THE NEW YORK TIMES IS MEX OWNED AND SUBSTANTIALLY NOTHING BUT A
MOUTHPIECE FOR LA RAZA 'The Race'
Jared
Kushner Fails Up, Again
Having solved the Middle East, the president’s son-in-law tackles the
border wall.

construction of a wall between Mexico and the United States. Credit... Anna

Jared
Kushner just got a promotion. Another one. At
least I think we can call it that, and it’s a deliciously perfect assignment.
The pallid princeling is now responsible for speeding construction of the
border wall. In other words, a make-believe fixer will oversee a fairy-tale
fix.
Josh
Dawsey and Nick Miroff of The Washington Post broke the news , and when I read it, I realized that I
hadn’t heard much about Jared — or, for that matter, Ivanka — in a good long
while. They’re front and center when the administration is announcing some
ostensibly sensible initiative or claiming a pittance of progress. But when its
corruption is being exposed and the drizzle of subpoenas becomes a downpour,
they vanish, cuddling for warmth under the gilded umbrella of their
hallucinatory virtue.
We can
pretty much chart the weather of the administration by the relative visibility
of Donald Jr., so loud and hirsute, and Jared, so smooth-cheeked and mute.
Donald Jr. thrives when it’s nastiest, stomping gleefully through the muck.
Jared comes out only if his suit won’t get dirty or his hair wet.
During the impeachment inquiry, we’ve seen a lot
of Donald Jr. That’s partly because he has been hawking his new book, copies of
which the Republican National Committee spent nearly $100,000 on . But it’s also because he’s such
a ready, eager conduit for his father’s wrath, with a talent for exaggeration
and misdirection that’s clearly chromosomal.
Jared and Ivanka have been strategically scarce,
though Ivanka did flutter into view, in a fashion, when President Trump boasted two weeks ago that she had created 14
million jobs since the inauguration. “Fourteen million and going up!” he
clarified, lest anyone get the misimpression that she thought her work was
done. Never! On behalf of the American people, Ivanka is tireless. There’s no
rest for the weary, and there’s even less of it for those who live at the
crossroads of self-infatuation and delusion.
In an interview last month on Fox Business, Ivanka said
that she and Dad were “fighting every day for the American worker” and that she
was determined to “drive hard every single day to make an impact.”
“Your
time and service — our time here — is finite,” she mused, and while I’d love to
believe that she was prophesying her and her father’s imminent eviction from
the White House, I think she was referring, in her deeply spiritual way , to the span of a human life.
“It’s sand through an hourglass.” As Ivanka serves us, she never forgets the
sand.
Democrats believe that the Trump administration’s
void of ethics will sour American voters on the president. But those voters are
likelier to abandon him for the administration’s vacuum of competence — for his
nonsensical managerial style, captured in his magical thinking about Jared.
He tasked
Jared with reinventing the federal government. Unless constant rash firings,
unfilled jobs and shakedowns of foreign governments constitute reinvention,
this remains on Jared’s infinite to-do list . The president put Jared in
charge of brokering a durable peace between Israelis and Palestinians. Insert
punch line here. He followed Jared’s counsel that faith be placed in Saudi Arabia and its crown
prince, Mohammed bin Salman. We know how that worked out.
The
president somehow looked at that track record and decided that the dynamo he
should entrust with his central campaign
promise — a secure barrier between the United States and Mexico — was … Jared!
And so we have the trillionth gorgeous example of his investment in fiction.
Nearly
three years into Trump’s presidency, the border wall barely exists. Subtract
the upgrading of fencing and such that was already there and Trump has, by some recent estimates ,
constructed
fewer than 25 miles of actually new barrier. The southwestern border is nearly
2,000 miles long.
But Jared
is on the case! According to The Post, he “convenes biweekly meetings in the
West Wing, where he questions an array of government officials about progress”
and “explains the president’s wishes.” Huh. Those wishes are hardly cryptic,
and how complicated can this questioning be? Already, The Post reported,
there’s grumbling that Jared is just an annoyance.
That
belittles his symbolic significance. Many journalists, including me, have tried
to settle on the perfect mascot for the Trump administration. There are choices
galore. The greedy, vainglorious Scott Pruitt, who did his best to decimate the
Environmental Protection Agency, fit the bill , but he’s long gone. Mike Pompeo embodies the Faustian arc of so many of the
president’s aides and allies, from principle-driven dismissal of Trump during
the 2016 campaign to reputation-torching submission when he dangled a ticket to
the big time.
But for
naked opportunism and situational scruples, Jared’s my guy. Remember how he and
Ivanka were going to contain the president’s ego, blunt his cruelty, whisper
sweet moderation in his ear? That was then. Now he’s devoting himself to an
exorbitant, unnecessary monument to Trump’s nativism and xenophobia.
There’s
an upside, though. With Jared in the saddle, this horse won’t go far.
'Catch
and Release' Continues As An Estimated 7,000 Illegal Aliens Have Been Dumped
Into Tucson In Past Eight Months

Authorities
in Pima County, AZ warn that Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials are straining
public resources by releasing individuals and migrant families into Tucson, AZ
in absence of proper facilities to detain thousands of illegal aliens. The
problem has become exacerbated now that Customs and Border Patrol have begun
releasing illegal aliens into the already overburdened city as well.
According
to Rafael Carranza , Arizona Republic, "Pima County
officials estimate that ICE has released about 7,000 migrants in Tucson in the
past eight months." This is because ICE physically does not have the space
needed to keep illegal aliens in custody while they are processed for asylum
claims as well as other background checks. Border Patrol typically hands
illegal aliens over to ICE. But, due to ICE's over capacity, Border Patrol has
simply started released migrants into Tucson as well. During a Friday meeting
between Border Patrol and city officials, the two sides discussed proper ways
to remedy the situation while ensuring public safety and efficient management
of resources.
The number of migrant families
released in Tucson has surpassed the ability of local nonprofits to house
them. This past week, the city of Tucson and Pima County opened temporary
overflow shelters to house migrants, although those shelters are once again empty,
at least for now.
The goal of Friday's meeting is to
"alleviate some of the stressors that we've been seeing with this increase
in people," said Pete Bidegain, a special-operations supervisor for the
Border Patrol.
"One
of the major concerns that was brought up numerous times in the meeting really
comes down to better communication between federal officials, county officials,
city officials," he added.
Bidegain
and Border Patrol have not said how many illegal aliens have been released into
Tucson. These families are dumped into the city, given orders to show up for a
court appearance later on, and are simply trusted by the government to come for
their hearing. This practice, otherwise known as "catch and
release," continues a year after President Trump signed a memo ordering the policy to stop.
Bidegain
told Tucson Mayor Jonathan Rothschild that remedies such as giving city
officials a heads-up when a new busload of illegals would be shipped there
could assist the city and non-profits in housing the families.
Mayor
Rothschild also said that if the buses could simply go directly to the
non-profit, that would help as well. "If the loaded buses from Border
Patrol can go not to the bus station, but to the site of where the (nonprofit)
is located, that would be a big help because that saves us a lot as a community,"
Rothschild said.
This
report comes as President Trump told Fox News Mario Bartimoro today that
the immigration crisis is so bad because "...our laws are so bad. The
combination of having a great economy and having the weakest immigration laws
anywhere in the world by far, and we have catch and release, and we have chain
migration, and the visa lottery, we have things that nobody in their right mind
would have. We're trying to get rid of them, the Democrats won't do it. We need
some Democrats votes, we're unanimous with the Republicans but we need some
Democrat votes and they go out of their way to allow these people to come
in."

El Paso Sector Border Patrol agents apprehended what they are calling
the “largest group of 424 illegal aliens” at the New Mexico border on Tuesday
morning. A few hours later, agents patrolling near Antelope Wells, New Mexico,
apprehended another 230.
Agents
patrolling near Sunland Park shortly after midnight Tuesday morning encountered
what they believed to be more than “400 illegal aliens” who had just crossed
the border from Mexico. The agents rounded up all of the migrants and began
processing them. A few hours later, the count stood at 424 mostly Central
American migrants. Border Patrol officials tweeted this is the “largest group”
of illegal aliens apprehended by Border Patrol agents.
LARGEST GROUP APPREHENDED— #BorderPatrol agents apprehended the largest group of
424 illegal aliens just after midnight this morning in Sunland Park, NM. A
second group of 230 illegal aliens was also apprehended in Antelope Wells, NM
this morning. More: https:// bit.ly/2DE4WVU
While
the agents processed the Sunland Park migrant group, agents patrolling near the
Camp Bounds Forward Operating Base at the Antelope Wells Port of Entry
apprehended another large group of Central American migrants. This group,
apprehended at about 2 a.m. Tuesday morning, consisted of 230 illegal aliens,
officials stated.
El
Paso Sector officials said the two groups, like many of the large groups of
migrants, consisted of Central American family units and unaccompanied minors.
The
El Paso Sector has witnessed a 1,670 percent increase in the number of Family
Unit Aliens apprehended during the first six months of this fiscal year, according
to the March Southwest Border Migration Report. Agents
apprehended 53,565 family units during the first six months of this year as
compared to 3,027 during the same period in Fiscal Year 2018. In addition, the
sector witnessed a 333 percent increase in the number of unaccompanied minors
apprehended — 7,565 in FY2019 vs. 1,746 in FY2018.

to the cost of the invasion of millions of
migrants. They have nothing but contempt for
those of us who must endure the consequences of
our communities being intruded upon by gang

Census Bureau: Immigration
Driving Half of U.S. Population
Growth
28 Apr 2019 398
2:43
Immigration to the United States is now driving nearly half of all
population growth in the country instead of increased birth rates, the U.S.
Census Bureau finds.
The latest
Census Bureau estimates on the U.S. population reveal that about 48.5 percent
of all population growth is driven by the country’s mass illegal and legal
immigration policy, where more than 1.5 million foreign nationals are admitted
to the country every year.
(Axios)
Axios analysis by Stef
Knight details the growing share to
which immigration is increasingly driving population growth across the U.S.
Since 2011, for example, the level to which immigration has accounted for
overall population growth has increased more than 13 percent.
According
to the Wall Street Journal growing solely
because of immigration. This concludes that about nine percent of counties have
regional birth rates that do not exceed the annual number of deaths in the
area.
Similarly,
the Wall Street Journal
Though
pundits have claimed that the country’s admittance of 1.2 million legal
immigrants a year is necessary to increase birth rates, researchers have found
that the growth of the immigrant population has little impact on birth rates.
Center
for Immigration Studies Director of Research Steven Camarota discovered in his
latest study this year that “immigrant fertility has only a small impact on the
nation’s overall birth rate,” citing that immigrants in the U.S. raise the
nation’s birth rate for all women by two births per 1,000 women.
“Immigration
has a minor impact because the difference between immigrant and native
fertility is too small to significantly change the nation’s overall birth
rate,” Camarota noted in the study.
At
current legal immigration levels, the U.S. population is set to hit
an unprecedented 404 million residents by 2060 — including a foreign-born
population of 69 million.
The
U.S. does not have to rapidly increase its total resident population and
foreign-born population, as legal immigration moratoriums have been implemented in the
past to give time for new arrivals to properly assimilate to American life.
Halting all immigration to the country would stabilize the population to a
comfortable 329 million residents in the next four decades.
