America Faces No Greater Threat Than Joe Biden and the Democrat Party. Their Assault to Our Borders Is As Great As Their Assault to Free Speech and Free Elections

CHINA'S INVASION OF AMERICA - JOE BIDEN WANTS TO KNOW HOW MUCH IS IN IT FOR HIM!
Washington, D.C. (June 25, 2020) – A new report by the Center for Immigration Studies outlines further actions needed to address the Chinese Communist Party's exploitation of U.S. academic and research institutions to steal technology and research.
The new report, "Stopping Chinese Infiltration of U.S. Educational and Research Institutions", looks at actions taken since publication of a Center report last year on the security threats posed by foreign students and exchange scholars. It examines two major developments since that report – a series of arrests of people working on behalf of China and a presidential proclamation curtailing the activities of certain Chinese students and researchers. It also recommends further actions.
Dan Cadman, Center fellow and author of the report, said, “Additional steps must be taken to safeguard America's defense secrets and intellectual property through adoption of a systemic, interdisciplinary approach. This can be done, among other ways, through expansion of the directives contained in the president's proclamation, and through rigorous analysis and post-mortems of each case exposed, in order to determine how China exploits U.S. vulnerabilities."
To build on the success of the arrests and the proclamation, the report offers a series of recommendations:
Denaturalization where appropriate.
Expulsion of all foreign proxy spies
Post-mortems of each case.
Pursuit of proxy spies working for countries other than China.
Educating researchers on federally funded projects on the importance of maintaining secrecy and security.
Tightened control of universities and research facilities receiving U.S. funds.
Oversight of key researchers' foreign travel and attendance at conferences, as already happens with federal government workers and contractors involved in sensitive work.
Cadman also recommends additions to the Presidential Proclamation, which called for the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Homeland Security, in consultation with the heads of appropriate agencies, to recommend further actions by the end of July. For example, visa-revocation language should be added to include those students and researchers presently in the U.S. as opposed to just those seeking admission; limitations should be imposed upon undergraduates and temporary workers; and there should be vigorous vetting of applicants for change of status, adjustment of status, and naturalization.
Joe
Biden is running away from his record as the "pro-China" candidate so
quickly that his defenders in the liberal press can't make heads or tails of
it. Ordinary Americans are equally confused.
Biden
spent over three decades opening American markets to Chinese goods, ignoring
China's abhorrent human rights record, and dismissing the challenge posed by
our greatest rival for global leadership. The "made in
China" era coincided with the closure of tens of thousands of American
factories, stagnant working-class wages, and the loss of America's ability to
produce essential goods domestically — a vulnerability that took on incredible
significance when we learned that we were dependent upon China to produce the
medical equipment needed to combat the coronavirus pandemic.
This
disaster was facilitated by politicians of both parties, and no one was more gung ho than Joe
Biden, poster child for the globalism that reigned supreme until the
2016 presidential election, which Donald J. Trump won by campaigning on a
platform diametrically opposed to the "open markets and open borders"
philosophy of the D.C. establishment. In the White House, President
Trump became the first American leader in decades to take a firm stand against
China's malfeasance and demand a genuinely fair and reciprocal trade deal for
American workers.
While
Joe Biden was the vice president of the United States, conversely, he was downplaying the consequences of
China's rise — even as his own family tried to get rich through
deals with Chinese state-owned companies.
How
is it possible, then, that Biden has suddenly tried to recast himself as the
"tough-on-China" candidate in the 2020 race?
Biden's
campaign even ran an ad claiming the
president had "rolled over for the Chinese" in response to the
coronavirus that Beijing unleashed on the world. It's one of the
most poorly executed flip-flops in American electoral history, coming just
months after Biden called President
Trump's life-saving ban on most travel
from China "hysterical xenophobia."
No
one is buying it. Everyone knows about President Trump's record of
success in bringing China to the negotiating table through strategic
counter-tariffs. The "Phase One" trade deal that was inked
earlier this year represents the first major trade concessions from China in a
generation. Even the fanatical free-traders who actually liked Biden's
globalism see right through his new façade. The libertarians at the
Cato Institute, for instance, published an article
acknowledging that Biden's reversal is "futile" and "inherently
lacks credibility."
Even
the intellectual left is aghast at Biden's fake toughness on
China. The Atlantic called it "utterly
futile" and "pointless — even dangerous." The New
York Times published an op-ed all but begging Biden to drop the
act.
If
even his own supporters are rolling their eyes at Biden play-acting as a China
skeptic, why are he and his team even bothering to attempt the deception?
The
answer is simple. Americans have finally woken up to the economic
and national security threat posed by China. The coronavirus pandemic made that
threat impossible to ignore. No one wants to go into this November
as the "pro-Beijing" candidate.
Unfortunately
for Joe Biden, he's been the "pro-Beijing" candidate throughout his
political career, and there's a decades-long record to prove it.
Ken Blackwell served as mayor of
Cincinnati, Ohio treasurer, and a U.S. ambassador to the U.N. He
currently serves on the board of directors for Club For Growth.
Foreign students and exchange scholars from certain countries — predominantly, but not exclusively, the People's Republic of China — represent an extraordinary risk to the United States through their extracurricular espionage activities.
It is becoming clear that the federal government has finally started to focus in earnest on the danger posed by China's pervasive espionage efforts, particularly in and around U.S. universities and research institutions.
Yet Another Chinese Citizen Arrested for EB-5 Fraud in California
Yet another U.S.-based Chinese citizen has been arrested for EB-5 fraud involving a never-constructed California real estate development. She is said to have reaped $21.6 million from her clients; most of them, if not all, from China.
In a small, new twist in this case, she managed to spend $295,000 on two Mercedes Benz vehicles, according to an article behind a partial paywall at Law360.
The EB-5 program, with EB standing for "employment-based", provides a family-sized set of temporary-to-be-permanent-later green cards to the families of investors who put up $900,000 (once $500,000) in investments identified by, but not guaranteed by, the Department of Homeland Security.
Most of the aliens in the program are from China, as are most of the victims, as we have reported in the past.
Arrested on June 20 was Ruixue "Serena" Shi, a resident of Arcadia, Calif. The complex she said she was building, but was not, had the usual mix of a hotel and condos, pools and spas, conference facilities and a fitness center. She said she had the needed building permits from the City of Coachella, but did not.
And, as is traditional, the cop on the beat was not DHS, it the FBI this time. Often it is the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The case is U.S. v. Shi, number 2:20-mj-02807 in the federal courts for the Central District of California; it does not seem to be entered yet in the PACER system.
Tal Groups Continue Controlling Marijuana Farms on U.S. Soil
Illegally cultivated grow farms in California and Washington state are operated by Chinese nationals, according to a report from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
A leaked law enforcement-sensitive bulletin obtained by Breitbart Texas states that Chinese nationals on overstayed visas continue to be found working on marijuana grow farms. Some are operated by Chinese drug rings.
On May 4, 2020, CBP agents working at the Colville Border Patrol Station and assigned to the Stevens County Sheriff’s Narcotics Task Force executed search warrants in at least seven locations.
At all seven, authorities encountered Chinese nationals. Eight individuals were apprehended, including seven Chinese and one American. Agents seized 8,841 marijuana plants, $87,000 cash, three firearms, and six mortgage-free properties valued at $950,000 total.
On May 20, 2020, CBP agents from the Yuma Sector assisted the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office with suspected illegal grow sites near Palo Verde College in Blythe, resulting in the apprehension of 104 individuals (of which 80 were Chinese). It was determined that 14 of the 80 Chinese nationals violated their immigration statuses. All admitted during questioning to having flown into Los Angeles on temporary business or tourism visas, according to CBP reporting.
The report goes onto state that due to a decline of marijuana trafficking from Mexico and Canada, tactics have shifted. More is grown domestically and moved from U.S. states which have fully legalized. The shift in production may act as an economic pull factor for Chinese nationals to remain illegally in the United States while working on grow farms, based on several interviews.
The DEA’s Cannabis Suppression/Eradication Program statistics were also provided. In 2019, law enforcement agencies raided over 1,344 outdoor grow sites in California and 42 in Washington state, compared to 899 and 44, respectively, in 2018. Approximately 2,600,000 outdoor cultivated cannabis plants were seized in California and Washington State in 2019, compared to 1,400,000 in 2018. Law enforcement also confiscating approximately 3,210 weapons from illegal cannabis cultivators last year.
