Migrant Border Arrests Jump 200 Percent Since April Despite COVID Threat
The arrest of migrants illegally crossing the border from Mexico into the U.S. jumped for the fourth straight month — increasing by more than 200 percent from the low point in April. The increases in arrests come despite the continuing threat of COVID-19 infection and the almost certainty that under Title 42, they will be returned to Mexico when arrested.
Border Patrol agents arrested 48,864 migrants in August after they illegally crossed the border from Mexico into the U.S., according to the Southwest Border Migration Report released on Friday by U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials. This is up from 38,463 in July (a 27 percent increase) and from 16,162 in April (a 202 percent increase).
More than 88 percent of those arrested were single adults, according to the report. Unaccompanied Alien Children and Family Unit Aliens accounted for 5,569 of the nearly 47,000 arrested.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection Acting Commissioner Mark Morgan told reporters on Friday that the migrants are continuing to come despite the threat of COVID-19 and the numbers of migrants expelled under Title 42 Coronavirus protection protocols put in place by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
“Despite the dangers posed by COVID-19, illegal immigration — it continues — putting American lives at risk,” Commissioner Morgan began. “Migrants continue to ignore their country’s stay-at-home guidance as well as they continue to ignore the guidance of global medical experts.”
The commissioner discussed the sacrifices made by the American public in trying to stop the spread of the Coronavirus pandemic.
“We must secure our borders from illegal aliens who show their complete disregard of even the most application of health and safety precautions,” Morgan explained. “The aliens are hidden in overcrowded and unsanitary stash houses and tractor-trailers for days.”
Morgan called these conditions “perfect incubators for COVID-19.”
Under Title 42 health protocols, Border Patrol agents expel approximately 91 percent of the migrants arrested along the U.S. borders with Canada and Mexico, the commissioner explained. Most are expelled within two hours of their arrest.
“Title 42 has nothing to do with immigration enforcement,” Commissioner Morgan stated, “and everything to do with public health. Protecting American lives, reducing the spread of COVID-19, and helping our economy get back on track.”
After stating that ten CBP employees have lost their lives in the line of duty to COVID-19, the commissioner said, “There is no doubt that Title 42 has prevented more tragic loss among our own workforce.
The commissioner said all of these factors led to a 75 percent drop in migration flow and reduced the numbers of migrants being held in detention facilities from about 20,000 per day a year ago down to 300 to 400 per day now.
He reiterated that Title 42 has saved countless American lives and the lives of CBP personnel and their families.

Invitations to Voter Fraud in 2020
California is
Exhibit A - while key battleground states are also at risk.
Fri Sep 4, 2020
When the U.S. Supreme Court upheld Indiana’s voter identification
law, the Court observed that “flagrant examples” of voter fraud “have been
documented throughout this Nation’s history by respected historians and
journalists.” As the National Commission on Federal Election Reform stated in
its 2005
bipartisan report, the problem “is not the magnitude of voter fraud.
In close or disputed elections, and there are many, a small amount of fraud
could make the margin of difference.” The report noted that “[I]nvalid voter
files, which contain ineligible, duplicate, fictional, or deceased voters, are
an invitation to fraud.”
BLOG EDITOR: THERE IS A REASON WHY BIDEN – PELOSI HAVE
PROMISED AMNESTY FOR 40 MILLION MEX FLAG WAVERS. THEY ARE BUYING THE ILLEGALS’ VOTES!
California, the nation’s
leading sanctuary state for illegal aliens, has opened the door to
unprecedented opportunities for such voter fraud – and that’s even before
California’s use of universal mail-in voting that the state is putting into
place this year for the general election. While California is virtually certain not
to be a close contest between President Trump and Joe Biden, California’s
broken voting system illustrates what can go wrong across the country where the
margins of votes between the candidates may be very slim indeed.
A Facebook
post in November 2018 stated that 449,000 Californians turned
down jury duty claiming they were not citizens. The post went on to say that
these non-citizens were on the voter registration list, reasoning that
prospective jurors are often culled from voter registration lists.
Left leaning commentators
have questioned the accuracy of this post, claiming that Department of Motor
Vehicles (DMV) records are the primary source for the state to identify
prospective jurors. Registrars of voter data are used as a secondary source,
they argue. Such criticisms miss the forest for the trees when it comes to
California and other states where DMV and voter registration databases are
electronically linked. Voter registration data are transferred from DMVs to
state voter registration systems. Even if DMV records are the primary source
for these states to identify prospective jurors, it doesn't matter because
there is a significant overlap with the voter registration data systems. The
DMV driver licensing process is used to generate automatic registration data
that feed the voter registration data systems.
California’s Department
of Motor Vehicles automatically registers people to vote. California
allows illegal immigrants to obtain driver licenses. Add them to
California's population of legal immigrants who can obtain driver licenses
– none of whom are eligible to vote in federal elections - and there is a large
pool of non-U.S. citizens who may be registered to vote anyway. This is an
invitation to fraud. California
officials have admitted, for example, that they had to investigate
whether ineligible individuals who were erroneously registered to vote by the
Department of Motor Vehicles cast ballots in the June 2018 primary.
California is not an
isolated case of a state linking DMV with voter registration. At least 36
states “currently or will soon have fully or substantially electronic voter
registration at DMVs,” according to a 2019 report by the Brennan Center for
Justice. These include the battle ground states of Colorado, Florida, Iowa,
Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, and
Pennsylvania.
Colorado, like
California, permits illegal immigrants to obtain driver licenses. Minnesota and
Michigan are considering such legislation.
States that do not allow
illegal immigrants to obtain driver licenses but have electronic links between
DMV and voter registration systems still have a problem with legal immigrants
who can obtain driver licenses. These non-U.S. citizens may become
automatically registered to vote even though they are not eligible
to vote in federal elections. This has happened in Pennsylvania, for
example. The door is then open for these non-U.S. citizens who are legally in
this country to vote illegally.
The problem with
ineligible voters is much larger than just automatic voter registration at the
DMV. Some states have failed to comply with federal law mandating them to
maintain accurate voter rolls and remove inactive voter registrations from
their records.
On January 3, 2019,
California and Los Angeles County settled
a case brought by the conservative watchdog Judicial Watch,
requiring them to purge as many as 1.5 million inactive voter registrations
across the state in compliance with federal law. L.A. County alone allegedly
had a voter registration rate of 112 percent of its adult citizen population.
California was not the
only state settling with Judicial Watch over the issue of voter registration
records. Ohio, a key battle ground state, also settled.
Judicial Watch has also
brought a lawsuit this year against Pennsylvania for failing to make reasonable
efforts to remove ineligible voters from their rolls as required by federal
law. Judicial Watch alleged that Pennsylvania has over 800,000 “inactive”
registrations on its voter rolls.
Pennsylvania, like Ohio,
is a key battleground state. President Trump won Pennsylvania in 2016 by 0.7
percentage points (44,292 votes). Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton wondered whether
Pennsylvania state and local officials, many of whom are Democrats, “want to be
able to steal elections.”
Judicial Watch also filed
a lawsuit against North Carolina and two of its counties for failing to clean
their voter rolls. North Carolina is also a battleground state.
“In June 2019, the U.S.
Election Assistance Commission (EAC) released data,” Judicial Watch said in its
press release announcing the lawsuit, “showing that voter registration rates in
a significant proportion of North Carolina’s 100 counties are close to, at or
above 100% of their age-eligible citizenry – statistics considered by the
courts to be a strong indication that a jurisdiction is not taking the steps
required by law to remove ineligible registrants." Judicial Watch President
Fitton said that “Dirty voting rolls can mean dirty elections, and Judicial
Watch must insist that North Carolina follows federal law to clean up its
voting rolls.”
On top of out-of-date and
inaccurate voter registration rolls within a single state, there is no
comprehensive coordination among all the states to eliminate duplicate voter
registrations in more than one state. Such multistate voter registration
duplications, according to the National Commission on Election Reform, “are a
source of potential fraud.”
Imagine the potential for
fraud in this year’s general election, particularly in the states where ballots
are being mailed directly to all voters. At least nine states fall into that
category.
In addition to California
sending out ballots automatically to all voters for the first time, Nevada – a
battleground state – is also doing so for the first time in a rushed fashion.
In 34 additional states, absentee voting is allowed for all voters – no excuse
required.
Absentee ballot
applications are being sent to all voters for the first time in at least 8
states. Three of them - Iowa, New Mexico and Wisconsin - are battleground
states.
According to a New
York Times analysis, “At least three-quarters of all American voters
will be eligible to receive a ballot in the mail for the 2020 election — the
most in U.S. history.” Who knows how many of those receiving ballots in the
mail are ineligible to vote but will send in their ballots anyway to be
counted?
Back in 2005, the
National Commission on Federal Election Reform warned that voting by mail is
“likely to increase the risks of fraud and of contested elections.” That was at
a time when voting by mail was still in its early stages across the country.
The 2020 general
election will encounter unprecedented risks of fraud and of contested
elections. It’s inevitable considering the widespread reliance on universal
mail-in voting and the festering problem of inaccurate, out of date voter
registration rolls. Hold on tight. We’re likely to be in for a rough
ride.
Feds: 19 Non-Citizens
Charged with Voting in 2016 Election in Swing State
514
3:35
A total of 19 non-citizens in the swing state of North
Carolina have been charged with voter fraud after allegedly voting in the 2016
presidential election.
This week, the U.S. District Court for the Middle District
of North Carolina prosecutors announced voter fraud charges against 19 non-citizens,
from a variety of countries, whom they allege cast votes in the 2016 election
after a years-long federal investigation.
Seven
of the 19 non-citizens were charged with falsely claiming American
citizenship or making false statements on voter registration applications. The
seven were also charged with a misdemeanor for unlawfully casting ballots in
the 2016 presidential election.
The
seven include:
- Francisco Antonio-Aguirre,
64-years-old, of Guatemala
- Roob Kaur Atar-Singh, 57-years-old, of
Malaysia
- Rosalva Negrete-Toledo, 65-years-old,
of Mexico
- Dave Delano Virgil, 57-years-old, of
Tobago
- Eloy Alberto Zayas-Berrier,
70-years-old, of Cuba
- Emmanuel Olakunle Atoyebi,
31-years-old, of Nigeria
- Mokhtar Qaid Ahmed Gulaimid,
48-years-old, of Yemen
Another
12 non-citizens were hit with misdemeanor charges for unlawfully casting
ballots in the 2016 presidential election. Those 12 include:
- Ismay Prudence Kathleen James,
54-years-old, of Bermuda
- Donald Christian Martyn, 44-years-old,
of Sierra Leone
- Chaim Pinto, 68-years-old, of Israel
- John Andrew Rapsky, 54-years-old, of
Canada
- Baijoo Pottakulath Thomas,
58-years-old, of India
- Shuqin Yin, 54-years-old, of China
- Chirong Yin Billings, 56-years-old, of
China
- Henry Alberto Araya-Vega,
52-years-old, of Costa Rica
- Rufina Concho-Locklear, 82-years-old,
of Mexico
- Alberto Damaize-Job, 73-years-old, of
Nicaragua
- Armando Nava-Juarez, 51-years-old, of
Mexico
- Manuel Efrain Valladares,
48-years-old, of El Salvador
If
convicted, the 19 non-citizens face anywhere from one year to six years in
federal prison and fines of $100,000 to $350,000. It is unclear if convictions
will make the non-citizens eligible for deportation.
President Trump won North Carolina against Democrat Hillary
Clinton in 2016 by a margin of fewer than 174,000 votes. In Mecklenburg
County, home to the state’s largest city of Charlotte, Clinton won by a huge
margin with more than 62 percent of the vote.
In this year’s presidential election, Democrats are fighting to
implement universal mail-in voting that would deliver every registered voter a
ballot to fill out, unsolicited. Government Accountability Insititute
(GAI) research director Eric Eggers has told Breitbart News that such a plan
could see about 24 million ineligible
or inaccurate voter registrants receiving mail-in ballots.

Democrat Mail Fraud Will Take Us to the Brink
By J.B. Shurk
Now
that a top Democrat data analytics firm has finally confirmed that
Democrats plan to claim victory weeks
after the presidential election once enough of their “votes” show up in the
mail to be counted, I don’t think any rational observer could view this as
anything but a promise to destroy the legitimacy of the 2020
election. The Democrats’ mission to fracture America permanently
should be codenamed “Operation Chaos,” because it is chaos that they are
preparing to unleash.
It was
not a few thousand dollars worth of Russian Facebook
posts and online internet
trolls that nearly destroyed the Union after the 2016
election. It was the way the Obama White House and an
intelligence-law enforcement cabal run by the Democratic Party maliciously and
intentionally magnified Russia’s limited hijinks into the greatest political
hoax in American history. The Democrats preferred to drag the United
States through four years of nonsensical conspiracy theories, needless
investigations, and cries of high treason rather than to acknowledge that
President Trump had legitimately defeated Hillary Clinton. The
Democrats chose an unprecedented campaign of sabotage against an American
president, and in doing so, they accomplished what Putin’s Russia could
never have dreamed: they succeeded in convincing half of America that the 2016
election was stolen from them. The Democrats and the Deep State that
has aided and abetted their cause have sold bitter acrimony for four years and
birthed our precarious pre-civil war tinderbox today.
With
American peace now hanging in the balance, will Democrats choose country over
socialism and temper passions already overinflamed? Of course
not. If four years of the Russia hoax has brought our nation to the
brink of civil strife, the Democrats’ Operation Chaos will make it nearly impossible
for wisdom and reason to succeed in the months ahead. This fact
alone should disqualify Democrats from office in 2020. A party that
is driving the country to civil war cannot be trusted to have the country’s
best interests at heart.
Most
Republicans (except the “useful idiots” who will look past corruption and fraud
for the chance to remove President Trump) understand how the Democrats plan to
use “cheat-by-mail” chaos to elevate a man who can’t remember his opponent’s
name (or even his running
mate’s) to commander in chief. They have a three-tailed con in
play: (1) attempt to win swing states fast and declare victory before
fraudulent ballots can be scrutinized; (2) harvest loose ballots after election
day until Trump vote leads disappear; (3) throw the whole mess into state and
federal courts until a Democrat-leaning judge gives them a Democrat
lead. At any time that one of these tails secures a Democrat victory,
the “useful idiot” #NeverTrumpers and hacks in the press will aid the Democrats
in quickly declaring the election over and calling for President Trump’s
concession. (When executing a good con, it’s always best to have
“disinterested” third parties move the con along.) By that point,
offending ballots will be “disappeared”
before they can ever be scrutinized again. And at any stage of this
dangerous game, if President Trump and his supporters fight the outcome, our
efforts -- not Democrat vote fraud -- will be framed as “threats to
democracy.”
All
the chaos lying ahead was preventable, of course. In the most modern
and technically advanced nation in the history of the planet, the idea that the
United States cannot vouchsafe the results of a democratic election is
absurd. All over the world successful elections take place without
high-tech voting booths or sophisticated methods for tallying votes, but in
America we are plagued with so much uncertainty as to whether our elections are
the outcomes of massive fraud that election integrity is
impossible. You can’t have fair and equitable elections when every
single American believes the vote is already rigged.
Obviously,
if our constitutional republic is to utilize democratic elections to decide
whether we choose Donald Trump’s “America First” policies or Bernie Sanders’s
Green New Deal, then safeguarding the American vote is paramount over any other
responsibility of our federal and state governments. Instead,
because the political establishment in America routinely
ignores the wishes of American voters, it has turned a blind eye to
the corruption and inaccuracy of American elections.
Democrats
(and “Republican” enablers like Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan)
argue that election fraud is
a myth when it is, in fact, well
documented. They argue that non-citizen
voting occurs in such low numbers as
to be meaningless when meaningful elections every year are decided by a few hundred votes. They
argue that election judges can be trusted when many have been prosecuted for altering
votes and stuffing
ballots. They argue that sensible voter identification laws are
unnecessary (and racist) when votes routinely show up from dead voters, non-voters,
and voters who long ago
left the jurisdictions in which they’re now cast. They
argue that ballot harvesting is
nothing to worry about when the outcomes of elections are overturned days
and weeks after election day. They argue that the same U.S. Postal
Service that just
endorsed the Democratic Party can be trusted to impartially handle
Republican votes.
By
never letting a crisis go to waste, Democrats have so effectively guaranteed “cheat-by-mail”
in swing states this year that stacks of
ballots can go out with coupon mailers and come back without proper signatures or
any other voter
authentications and go right into the ballot box. A recent
election in New Jersey was just thrown out after it was determined that mail-in
vote fraud had tainted 22% of the total vote, while twenty-eight
million mail-in ballots have gone missing in the last four
elections. And a top Democrat
operative revealed last week how he and others have been committing
voter fraud on a “grand scale” for decades.
Gone
are the days when the United States recognized the solemnity of the vote by
securing for each citizen a private and uncoerced secret ballot. Now
Democrat election operatives can simply go from hospital bed to hospital bed in nursing
homes around the country “collecting” votes or swallow up entire mail
drops at apartment
buildings before residents even hold them in their hands. Operation
Chaos will test the limits of our country’s bonds.
How
does a free country governed by the people destroy itself? When elected
representatives make it impossible for the people to believe they are still
governing.
If we
had a functioning free press in this country that hadn’t thrown out objectivity
and professionalism for partisan entanglements and personal vendettas, the two
biggest stories of the last four years would both center on the efforts of the
Democratic Party to undermine American elections so completely that the breakup
of the Union is not only a real possibility but the Democrats’ likely
objective. They sabotaged the peaceful transition of power in
2016 with the Russia hoax. In 2020, whether they can eke out victory
or not, they have implemented a “cheat-by-mail” voting catastrophe that will
render the 2020 election outcome unavoidably illegitimate to the losing
side. It is a strategy intended to damage the country. It
is an operation meant to unleash chaos.
