Chamber of Commerce’s Political Chief Resigns After Democrat Endorsements

The United States Chamber of Commerce’s chief political strategist has resigned from the business group after its endorsement of 23 House Democrats in swing districts across the country.

Scott Reed, the Chamber’s longtime senior political strategist, has resigned, according to the New York Times‘ Maggie Haberman.

“Scott Reed, who’s been the top political strategist at the US Chamber for years, tells me he has resigned, amid a perceived drift to the left at the Chamber on heels of nearly two dozen endorsements of House Dems,” Haberman posted online.

Sources familiar with the matter told Breitbart News that Reed’s decision to resign came after he was not allowed by executives to spend money helping vulnerable Senate Republicans in their races, such as Senators Joni Ernst (R-IA), Martha McSally (R-AZ), and Thom Tillis (R-NC).

The Chamber, a source described, has become a McCarthy-esque environment where Republicans supportive of President Trump are purged.

“It’s been difficult to watch what was once the gold standard for influence and advocacy slowly decline over the last few years and now it appears the last vestige of relevance has just walked out the door,” National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) Executive Director Kevin McLaughlin told Breitbart News of Reed’s resignation.

Reed had been at the Chamber for roughly 20 years but seemingly grew frustrated with the group’s recent endorsement of 23 House Democrats against Republicans in swing districts that are vital to the GOP winning back the House.

“Scott Reed is the Michael Jordan of Republican operatives — the greatest of all time,” former Republican leadership staffer and lobbyist Sammy Geduldig said.

Since the endorsement, the Chamber is already fighting off the Democrat agenda of candidates they endorsed.

The Chamber recently sent out an alert to its members urging opposition to Rep. Abby Finkenauer’s (D-IA) amendment to the “Clean Economy Jobs and Innovation Act.” Finkenauer was endorsed by the Chamber.

In an exclusive report, Breitbart News noted the Chamber’s recent political turmoil.

One insider called the Chamber “an elitist organization,” while another said their Democrat endorsements were “what happens when the Washington swamp and Wall Street get together in Nancy Pelosi’s conference room and make a deal.”

The number of small businesses paying dues to the Chamber stands at less than 7,000 today, according to sources with knowledge. In its heyday, the Chamber had about 130,000 small businesses paying dues.

In response, Trump and Vice President Mike Pence reportedly criticized the Chamber in a phone call. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) has publicly said he does not want the Chamber’s endorsement, characterizing the group as sell-outs.

Illegal Aliens Accused of Assault, Theft Arrested After North Carolina Sanctuary County Set Them Free

A number of criminal illegal aliens have been arrested by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency after having been set free by the sanctuary county of Mecklenburg County, North Carolina.

Last week, ICE agents arrested 12 criminal illegal aliens in Mecklenburg County — home to the state’s largest city of Charlotte — which has had a sanctuary policy since at least December 2018.

Half of the illegal aliens arrested in the sting had previously been released by Mecklenburg County communities despite ICE having lodged detainers. These detainers are requests for them to be transferred into their custody for arrest and deportation.

Those arrested include Nicaraguan illegal alien Jose Ruiz-Quintero who was arrested on June 15 for assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious bodily injury charges. A day after his arrest, ICE lodged a detainer on Ruiz-Quintero, but Mecklenburg County officials released him from the local jail.

Ruiz-Quintero was ordered to be deported by a federal immigration judge in August 2019.

Also arrested was Guatemalan illegal alien Elder Amador-Lopez who was arrested on August 23 for allegedly assaulting a female. The day of his arrest, ICE lodged a detainer on Amador-Lopez, but Mecklenburg County released him four days later back into the community.

Amador-Lopez was previously deported from the U.S. in March 2014 and April 2014.

Nicaraguan illegal alien Emmanuel Guillen-Gonzalez was arrested in the ICE sting after having been arrested on July 21 for breaking and entering as well as larceny. Though ICE lodged a detainer on Guillen-Gonzalez that day, he was released within hours of his arrest.

Guillen-Gonzalez was ordered to be deported by a federal immigration judge in March 2018.

“It is time to put aside the political rhetoric and look at the facts – and the fact is, people are hurt and victimized because of jurisdictions that refuse to cooperate with ICE in what should be our shared mission to protect the public,” ICE official Henry Lucero said in a statement.

ICE officials said illegal aliens arrested in Charlotte were once transferred to their custody to avoid the likelihood that they would commit more crimes against more victims. In fiscal year 2018, before Mecklenburg County’s sanctuary policy, local officials transferred nearly 500 criminal illegal aliens to ICE for arrest and deportation.

Today, little-to-no criminal illegal aliens are transferred to ICE in Charlotte.

Border Patrol Agent Stabbed Multiple Times, Kills Assailant

FBI to investigate — they will likely conclude the border is dangerous, and getting more so

By Andrew R. Arthur on September 23, 2020

Fox News reports that at 7:00 PM on Monday, a Border Patrol agent on watch near the border east of Nogales, Ariz., encountered a group of apparent illegal migrants, one of whom attacked the agent with a knife. The agent apparently suffered multiple stab wounds before he shot and killed his assailant; the agent was airlifted to a local hospital, where his condition is unknown. Numerous law-enforcement entities, including the FBI, are investigating the incident. They will likely determine that the border is a dangerous place, not least of all for the Border Patrol.

Tucson Border Patrol Chief Roy D. Villareal tweeted out the following, confirming the Fox News reporting:

CBP has been delinquent in updating its statistics on assaults on Border Patrol agents since FY 2018, but the agency was pretty busy last year with the migrant surge, so I will give them a break. In FY 2018, there were 683 assaults on agents in 379 separate incidents (one incident can result in multiple assaults), down (sort of) from 783 assaults in 324 separate incidents in FY 2017. That decrease is likely cold comfort to the 683 agents who were assaulted in FY 2018.

Many of those incidents involve migrants (or smugglers) throwing rocks at agents; I personally got to experience that in 2006 in Calexico, only the rock was a cinder block. Or attempting to tackle them when they are intercepted, as happened near Campo, Calif., in January. Or striking them (that happened near Lukeville, Ariz., in December). Also in December, a suspected smuggler tried to run an agent over with his car.

Fortunately, stabbings and shootings of agents are rare. But the stakes along the border are high, and getting higher. Even with the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic, drug cartels are sending more "hard drugs" — and in particular methamphetamine and the deadly drug fentanyl — into the United States.

CBP officers at the ports have already seized twice as much meth in FY 2020 (through August, with a month to go in that fiscal year) than they did in FY 2019, and almost 30 percent more fentanyl (3,202 pounds — enough to kill more than 726 million people).

And as I noted recently, Border Patrol seizures of hard drugs at the border and interior checkpoints are also up for FY 2020: 13,580 pounds of cocaine (16 percent more than in all of FY 2019), 19,053 pounds of meth (32 percent more), and 707 pounds of fentanyl (a 212-percent increase).

With fewer migrants to apprehend, Border Patrol has more resources to seize those drugs — but intercepting the drug trade comes with greater dangers than apprehending migrants who are planning to surrender in order to file (often questionable) credible fear claims.

Interestingly, Border Patrol seizures of cocaine are 36 percent as high as they are at the ports, and fentanyl seizures by agents on the line are 22 percent what they are at the ports. And that is just the cocaine and fentanyl that agents can intercept — the border is long, and can use a larger Border Patrol presence.

Carrying a pound of cocaine or fentanyl over the border is not tough (Wyatt and Billy, the motorcycling protagonists in the 1969 film Easy Rider, were cocaine smugglers), but it is lucrative. The street value of cocaine in the United States is $96 a gram. That is more than $43,540 a pound. A kilogram of uncut fentanyl costs $6,000, but can be sold for $1.6 million — or just under $725,750 per pound.

Needless to say, a smuggler would be reluctant to drop a load worth that kind of money and scoot back across the border, as marijuana mules are apt to do. Not only is there cash on the line for the courier, but the cartels are likely to be displeased at such a loss. Evasion — or worse, assault — of a Border Patrol agent becomes a lot more likely.

These statistics also call into question the claim that drugs "almost universally come through the ports of entry along the southern border".

And the pandemic has only increased the desire in the United States for more illicit narcotics. The AMA reports that: "More than 40 states have reported increases in opioid-related mortality as well as ongoing concerns for those with a mental illness or substance use disorder in counties and other areas within the state."

Why? As the Association of American Medical Colleges explains: "More than 20 million people in the United States have a substance use disorder. Now, Covid-19 has left many locked down, laid off, and flooded with uncertainty." That is bad for them, bad for America, and will ultimately be bad for the Border Patrol. Until the United States (and the world) gets back to normal, expect border drug seizures — and assaults — to increase. Cartels don't care, and they know an opportunity when they see one.

llegal Alien Charged with Raping Child in North Carolina

An illegal alien has been charged with raping a child in Cherokee County, North Carolina, local law enforcement officials confirm.

Benito Morales Mendez, a 39-year-old illegal alien, was arrested by the Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office on statutory rape charges after allegedly fleeing to Texas in an attempt to evade arrest.

In January, a complaint was filed alleging that Mendez had sexually assaulted a child. Officials also alleged he violated a domestic violence protective order before issuing a warrant for his arrest.

Mendez, officials allege, fled North Carolina for Texas. In cooperation with the United States Marshals Service and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), officials were able to locate Mendez in Texas months after the arrest warrant was issued.

Since locating Mendez, law enforcement secured his extradition back to North Carolina where he is now in local custody on $500,000 bail. The Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency has placed a detainer on Mendez so that if he is released at any time, he will be turned over to their custody for arrest and deportation.

North Carolina’s illegal alien population has ballooned in recent years thanks to its multiple sanctuary jurisdictions that shield illegal aliens from arrest and deportation. In 2019, more than 500 illegal aliens were released in the state by sanctuary jurisdictions.

As Breitbart News reported, up to 80 percent of criminal illegal aliens freed back into American communities by sanctuary jurisdictions go on to commit more crimes, an ICE official confirmed in congressional testimony.

Houston: Lawsuit Seeks to Remove ‘Hundreds’ of Noncitizens from Voter Rolls

A lawsuit filed in Houston on Monday by the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) seeks to remove noncitizens from the voter rolls.

The suit filed in Harris County alleged, “noncitizens were registered to vote, even after they identified themselves as noncitizens on their voter registration applications,” Fox 26 reported.

The suit included “dozens” of images showing a registrant checking the “No” box on the citizenship portion of the form.

According to PILF, hundreds of noncitizens were registered to vote for “several years before the error was identified and corrected.”

“In essence what we have here is evidence of people saying they are not U.S. citizens on voter registration records in Harris County, and yet they are becoming registered voters anyway,” PILF spokesman Logan Churchwell said.

Some of the applications were several years old. PILF has attempted to obtain more recent filings but has been rebuffed by Registrar Ann Harris Bennett.

Bennett refused to speak to Fox 26, but said later in a statement, “The Harris County Voter Registrar successfully maintains 2.4 million Harris County voter records.”

Churchwell told the news station that PILF attempted to obtain records from the registrar in 2017 and 2018 and was denied, so the group filed suit.

A recent report by PILF found 350,000 dead voters are still on the rolls across the country.

According to the report, titled, “Critical Condition: American Voter Rolls Filled with Errors, Dead Voters, and Duplicate Registrations,” 349,773 “deceased registrants” have been found on rolls in 41 states. Fifty-one percent of those are in New York, California, and Texas, as well as the battleground states of Michigan and Florida.

The report found that 43,760 “duplicate registrants appear to have cast second votes” from the same address in 2016, while 37,889 cast ballots in 2018.

In Michigan, where Donald Trump won in 2016 by 10,704 votes, PILF found there were 34,225 deceased voters still on the rolls and a combined 13,597 double voters in the 2016 and 2018 elections.

Some of those voters who are registered multiple times “are casting multiple ballots,” Adams recently told The Kyle Olson Show.

“Michigan voter rolls are a mess, and that’s exactly why Michigan should not be doing mail balloting until they clean up their act,” he said.

Adams contended cleaning up the “mess” would be as simple as sorting the list by address and “see who’s all crammed into one house.”

‘How Many More Get Away?’ Farage Releases Footage of Migrants Arriving ‘Under the Cover of Darkness’

Farage at Sea

Brexit leader Nigel Farage released footage of illegal migrants “landing under the cover of darkness” at Shakespeare Beach in Dover, England.

The footage appears to show over a dozen mostly male migrants being escorted by local police after they, Mr Farage claimed, had landed on British shores in the early hours of Tuesday.

In a message directed to Home Secretary Priti Patel, Mr Farage questioned: “How many like this now get away?”

Mr Farage has been reporting on instances of migrants evading the British Border Force and clandestinely entering the country, often travelling across the English Channel by night in order to go unseen.

In April, the Brexit leader turned investigative journalist spoke to local fishermen in the beach town of Pett Level in East Sussex, who informed Farage that they often witnessed migrants arriving in under the cover of darkness. They went on to claim that people smugglers in the UK would meet the migrants and swiftly collect the migrants as well as their boats before they were detected by the Border Force.

“This scandal, I think, is far bigger than anyone realises,” Mr Farage remarked at the time.

The Brexit Party leader said that he contacted the Home Office in May, to ask whether the government accepted that migrants are entering in the country undetected, what the current estimate was, and what if anything they are doing to track down the clandestine arrivals.

“Well, the Home Office came back and said: ‘It is completely inaccurate to claim small boats are arriving into the UK every day. We are using all the skills of the Border Force, the National Crime Agency, Immigration Enforcement, and French law enforcement (you’re having a laugh!) to dismantle and arrest the criminal gangs who trade in people-smuggling, and since April the 1st we’ve stopped so many from coming, blah blah blah blah,’” Farage said.

On Monday, Home Secretary Priti Patel told MPs that the government is planning on refusing alleged asylum seekers who come to the UK from safe countries, where they are bound by law to remain.

“We want to ensure our asylum system is not being abused by those who are not genuine asylum seekers.” Patel said in comments reported by The Times.

Ms Patel said discussions were continuing with Germany, France, Belgium and the Netherlands to stop the crossings. The government was also looking at legal, safe routes “for the protection of those that need our help”.

Chris Philip, the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Immigration Compliance at Home Office, admitted that the UK’s asylum system is “not fit for purpose” as it is often mired by “vexatious” legal manoeuvres by pro-migrant lawyers.

Mr Philp said that after Brexit the government would redouble “its efforts to make sure people that come here from safe countries, for example, are rapidly returned”.

Nearly 7,000 illegal migrants have been recorded landing in the UK by immigration authorities since the start of the year, over three times as many arrived in 2019. As pointed out by Mr Farage, the true number of illegal migrants is likely to be much higher, not only because of migrants going undetected but also because the Home Office has refused to publish the numbers of alleged child migrants arriving.

While this is for the privacy of minors, claiming to be underage when actually a full adult in order to access preferential treatment at the hands of European migration offices is now a well understood and established tactic for new arrivals. Given many destroy or dispose of their documents before crossing into their destination nation, truly verifying the age of migrants can be difficult, however.

Mexico Has the World's 4th Highest Coronavirus Death Toll, But Democrats Want Open Borders

 

 

To what extent is migration from south of the border bringing up infections in America? That's a subject that the media has a block on despite increasing evidence, especially in Texas, of a link between migration and the virus.

Meanwhile country-level data (much of which is incomplete or worthless, but nonetheless) shows Brazil as having the world's second highest death toll while Mexico has the world's fourth highest death toll.

So of course it's the perfect time for Democrats to once again on their familiar program of open borders, dropping immigration enforcement at the border, welcoming any illegal migration who shows up as a refugee, and opening up international immigration all over again.

What could go wrong?
