Overall, the low ratio of total losers to partial or complete winners will encourage the next wave of migrants, said Krikorian:
How could it not, especially once the [Joe] Biden administration comes and let’s even more people in? Even if you don’t win first prize, the second or third prizes are still pretty good, and with a Democratic administration that is going to be more lax in border enforcement, we’re practically inviting people to sneak across the border.

CBP Chief: Joe Biden’s Campaign Promises Have Caused a Migrant Flood
5:35 Border arrivals in December 2020 jumped by 80 percent above December 2019, partly because the cartels and coyotes are telling their customers that President-elect Joe Biden will end the border curbs, the chief of the Customs and Border Patrol agency said Tuesday. “We’re already seeing the negative impacts of the proposed policy changes,” acting Commissioner Mark Morgan said on January 5. The “cartels and human smugglers are spreading the perception that our borders will be open. In this case, they’re correct. They’re right — it’s not just the perception.” Biden’s campaign promises are “not an immigration strategy — [they are] an open border strategy,” he said. “The immigrants know it, and more importantly, the human smugglers know it … I’ve been asked, What do you think is going to happen? I say it’s already happening.” The 74,000 migrants who arrived in December “you could argue are crisis-level numbers, but the reason why it doesn’t feel like a crisis is because we have [President Donald Trump’s] authority, statutes, and policies to deal with the numbers,” he said. The numbers will become a border crisis if Biden follows through on his campaign promise to remove Trump’s border reforms, Morgan added. “You take that ability away and that 2,500 [arrivals] a day becomes a crisis overnight. That’s what concerns us.” The arriving migrants include more spouses and children of migrants from Central America, he said:
Morgan said his deputies are talking with Biden’s deputies.
Biden’s officials seem to be listening. Morgan said:
Morgan continued:
The United States can control its borders, Morgan said:
Biden’s campaign promises are an open-borders strategy, Morgan said:
Biden’s deputies are promising to delay some of their campaign promises, he said. “But this isn’t good enough, not by a long shot,” Morgan said. “This simply kicks the crisis can down the road,” Morgan said. “Without significant and permanent walk back of their open-borders strategies, without actively listening and continuing to work based on truth in reality, the only result will be a continuing and steady increase in the numbers.
Feds: Migrant Children at Border Have 95 Percent Chance of Staying in U.S.2:22 Unaccompanied Alien Children (UACs) arriving at the United States-Mexico border from Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador have a more than 95 percent chance of remaining in the U.S. after their arrival, newly released data from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) reveals. The DHS data, released this week, shows the extent to which UACs from the three Central American countries are much more likely than not to remain in the U.S., often getting placed with an illegal alien relative already living in the country. From 2013 to early 2020, 315,582 UACs from Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador were encountered at the U.S.-Mexico border. About 300,900, or more than 95 percent, have “no confirmed departure” from the U.S., indicating that they remain living in the U.S. while continuing to be processed, failing to voluntarily deport, or having been granted immigration relief. Just 4.65 percent, or 14,682, of these 315,582 UACs have been removed to Guatemala, Honduras, or El Salvador. About 3-in-10 of these UACs end up receiving immigration relief to permanently stay in the U.S., the DHS data shows. In 2019, alone, federal immigration officials encountered more than 64,000 UACs from Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador at the southern border. Of those, just 2.15 percent were removed to their native country ,while nearly 98 percent have “no confirmed departure” from the U.S. The UAC program, as Breitbart News has chronicled, has delivered large populations mostly from Central America to states like New York, New Jersey, Texas, California, Florida, Virginia, and Maryland. Since President Trump took office, more than 165,000 UACs have been released into the interior of the U.S. John Binder is a reporter for Breitbart News. Follow him on Twitter at @JxhnBinder. The Next Border Crisis Will Be Biden’sBy relaxing enforcement, the incoming administration will invite mass suffering in the name of compassion.January 4, 2021Politics and law The Social Order President-elect Joe Biden sparked outrage among activists when, a month before Inauguration Day, he retreated from his promise to unravel President Trump’s restrictive immigration regime on Day One. Instead, he suggested, the Biden administration would undo Trump’s actions over a period of months, thus avoiding a rush of “2 million people on our border” and the ensuing chaos in the opening days of his presidency. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) statistics show that apprehensions at the southern border were at an eight-year high in October and November; December data will likely reflect similar activity. A new wave of migrant caravans, including a group that launched an unsuccessful trek from Honduras, is of particular concern. Biden is right to worry that undoing Trump’s aggressive enforcement regime would prompt a spike in illegal immigration, but his proposed solution—rolling back Trump’s regulations slowly—misses what would cause that rush in the first place. The problem with Biden’s immigration plan is not its speed of execution, but its lack of any principle that would limit immigration, illegal or otherwise. Instead, the Biden agenda will encourage illegal entry—an arrangement with potentially disastrous consequences. Biden’s immigration platform reveals the emptiness of his policies. Inasmuch as immigration defined Trump’s 2016 campaign, Biden’s agenda is almost entirely reactive, promising to undo policies that eventually led Americans to call for more, rather than less, immigration. For example, Biden will end the Trump administration’s “remain in Mexico” policy, instead allowing asylum-seekers into the U.S., where they can then skip out on immigration court hearings. Biden will end the prosecution of adults for entering United States illegally. His administration will substantially expand asylum eligibility, curtailed by Trump because claims routinely yield few actual asylees but lots of absconders. And Biden will return to the Obama administration’s “Priority Enforcement” regime, which requires Immigration and Customs Enforcement to focus on serious criminal offenders. As it relaxes enforcement, the Biden administration will also look the other way on illegal immigration. Biden has promised not only to reinstate DACA but also to seek a “path to citizenship” for America’s 10.5 million unauthorized immigrants and deportation relief for millions more resident under Temporary Protective Status programs. Amnesty should be paired with reforms that discourage illegal immigration both before its implementation (to stop people from showing up to take advantage of it) and going forward. But by simultaneously reducing enforcement and increasing the incentive to immigrate, the Biden plan will only worsen the problem. His only concessions to discouraging illegal entry—more technology at the border and aid to Central America to target the “root causes” of illegal immigration—offer thin reassurance. It is thus little surprise that tens of thousands of people are flooding the border, even amid a global pandemic. Rising illegal immigration represents a normal response to weakened enforcement, just as immigration slackened dramatically following Trump’s election. Biden’s election signals that America will give a free pass, and even citizenship, to those who skip the line. That’s bad not only for the rule of law but also for the health and safety of Americans and immigrants alike. As we have seen twice over the past decade, migration waves can tax medical and humanitarian resources—already stretched thin by Covid-19—and spread disease. They also pull enforcement attention away from stopping criminals: ICE blamed the 2019 border crisis for a 12 percent drop in the arrest of serious offenders. By diverting CBP resources, massive illegal immigration also distracts from drug enforcement, allowing tens of thousands of pounds of narcotics to deepen America’s ever-worsening overdose crisis. And large waves of immigrants make it harder to counter the abuse endemic to the trafficking process, including the estimated 60 percent to 80 percent of women raped in transit. A rational system would screen refugees and asylum seekers while deterring illegal immigration. But hardline Democrats see any stance short of open borders as retrograde and racist. Biden and his advisors doubtless regard their soft-touch approach as the most humanitarian option, but by welcoming a surge of illegal immigration, they invite mass suffering in the name of compassion. Democrats Claim Georgia Is the Next California Due to Mass Immigration4:55 Democrats are looking to put the state of Georgia on a fast-track to becoming their next deep blue stronghold like California, primarily due to mass immigration that has increased their voting blocs. In a report by the Guardian, Democrats said they are fiercely courting the votes of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders — 3-in-4 of which were born outside the United States — in Georgia’s pair of runoff races on January 5 where Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-GA) faces a challenge from Democrat Raphael Warnock and Sen. David Perdue (R-GA) is facing Democrat Jon Ossoff. “When you think about California, what it was like 30 or 40 years ago, that’s Georgia. It’s on a trajectory of change,” an Asian American social justice activist told the Guardian. A Republican presidential candidate has not won the state of California since 1988. The Los Angeles Times has credited immigration to California with helping turn the state blue. Now, for the Senate runoffs, Democrats said they want to “replicate” foreign-born voter turnout for Biden in Georgia for Ossoff and Warnock. The Guardian reports:
Specifically, data published by the Guardian indicates that Georgia’s Asian American population has grown nearly 140 percent since the year 2000 as the U.S. has admitted roughly more than 1.2 million legal immigrants a year for the last three decades. Georgia’s Asian Americans include those from India, China, Korea, and Vietnam and about 8-in-10 said they do not speak English at home. Their arrival has helped shift county electorates in favor of Democrats. “Many of these newcomers have made their homes in the sprawling suburbs around Atlanta, helping to turn these once-Republican strongholds into political battlegrounds,” The Guardian reports. The New York Times and a Washington Post columnist have recently acknowledged that Democrats are leaning heavily on the results of mass immigration to Georgia to flip the state blue as they have done in Virginia and Orange County, California. “The emergence in Georgia of Asian-American voters is a potential bright spot for a Democratic Party counting on demographic changes to bring political wins across the country,” the Times reported last month.
Analysis by the Atlantic‘s Ronald Brownstein has previously revealed that congressional districts with a foreign-born population above the national average, a little more than 14 percent, have a 90 percent chance of being won by Democrats over Republicans. The number of foreign-born voters and their voting-age children in Georgia has boomed by 337 percent between 2000 to 2020. Meanwhile, the native-born voting-age population in Georgia has increased by just 22 percent over that same period. The drastic “demographics changes,” as described by multiple establishment media outlets, has made the electoral map increasingly easier for Democrats. The Washington Post, New York Times, the Atlantic, Axios, the Los Angeles Times, and the Wall Street Journal have all admitted that rapid demographic changes because of immigration are tilting the nation toward a permanent Democrat dominance. “The single biggest threat to Republicans’ long-term viability is demographics,” Axios acknowledged last year. “The numbers simply do not lie … there’s not a single demographic megatrend that favors Republicans.” At current legal immigration levels, the U.S. is on track to import about 15 million new foreign-born voters by 2040. Those 15 million new foreign-born voters include about eight million who will have arrived through the process known as “chain migration” where newly naturalized citizens can bring an unlimited number of foreign relatives to the U.S. John Binder is a reporter for Breitbart News.

Federal Court: President Donald Trump Has Authority to Bar Uninsured Immigrants from Admission4:16 The Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco ruled in favor of President Donald Trump’s order barring entry to legal immigrants until they fund their own health insurance and avoid becoming a “public charge’ for taxpayers. The San Francisco Chronicle put the number of migrants who would not be admissible at an estimated 375,000 every year — or about one million every 2.5 years. The Chronicle claimed migrants have a right to enter American’s homeland even if they need Americans to pay for their healthcare, and suggested that President-elect Joe Biden would probably reverse Trump’s move:
The ruling “makes clear that the Biden administration must move swiftly to rescind all of President Trump’s xenophobic presidential proclamations, including this health care ban,” Sung said in the Chronicle report. “Countless people have been hurt by this ban, and each passing day keeps families needlessly separated.” Judge Daniel Collins said in the majority opinion that the law “grants the president sweeping authority to decide whether to suspend entry, whose entry to suspend, and for how long” and “would be detrimental to the interests of the United States.” Collins said Trump can put in place restrictions beyond those enacted by Congress as long as the rules do not conflict with federal laws. And the cost of this migrant demographic is staggering. “The appeals court said the Trump administration had presented evidence that legal immigrants are only one-third as likely as U.S. citizens to have health insurance, and that uninsured residents cost taxpayers and health care providers more than $35 billion a year,” the Chronicle reported. Open border advocates side with migrants on the issue.
In dissent, Judge A. Wallace Tashima said Trump’s order conflicts with immigration policies and laws passed by Congress, including the Affordable Care Act, which made legal immigrants eligible for the same subsidized coverage as U.S. citizens. Tashima said the restriction violates part of the Violence Against Women Act that protects victims of violent sex crimes from being deported. The president’s proclamation was “a major overhaul of this nation’s immigration laws without the input of Congress — a sweeping and unprecedented exercise of unilateral executive power,” Tashima said.

The December 30 decision by the judges on the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit rejected a careful 2019 regulation by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which is intended to replace the 1997 Flores rules. The Flores policy was set in 1997 by California Judge Dolly Gee in cooperation with pro-migration officials in President Bill Clinton’s administration and various pro-migration groups. The Flores court settlement enables and invites migrants to overwhelm U.S. border rules by first claiming asylum to prevent quick deportation and then using their children to get released after 20 days into U.S. workplaces. The judges said President Donald Trump’s DHS regulation would wrongly end the 1997 Flores‘ catch and release policy:
“That’s the puzzling thing — how can a [1997 Cinton] arrangement like this be used to bind every future administration?” asked Miano. “That is nuts … it seems contrary to any democratic process.” The judges did not bar DHS from holding migrant adults for long periods — but they also know that pro-migration Democrats and media outlets will emotionally slam the separation of children from their migrant parents after 20 days. For example, in October, President-elect Joe Biden declared:
Since his election, Biden has begun describing his pro-migration border policy as “family reunification.” The judges’ decision allows Biden to keep the Flores gateway open during his first term — despite Trump’s regulatory closure — and use the 20-day rule to justify releasing many wage-cutting migrants into the jobs needed by blue-collar Americans. So far, very few white-collar journalists have defended the right of blue-collar Americans to their own national labor market. Trump’s deputies did not release the DHS regulation until August 2019, 32 months after he took office. The late release — and slow judicial consideration — means that his deputies do not have time to get the Supreme Court to overturn the California judges’ veto. The judges insisted the Flores gateway has any impact on the flow of migrants through the obstacle course of dangers that lie between migrants’ homes and the jobs they want in the United States. “The crux of the government’s … argument is that an unprecedented increase in the number of minors arriving annually at U.S. borders warrants termination of the [1997] Agreement,” said the judges’ decision, released December 30. The decision continues:
Amid the court’s claims, many migrants have told U.S. media outlets they brought their children up to the border to exploit Judge Gee’s Flores catch-and-release gateway. By restarting the catch and release process that allows migrants to get U.S. jobs quickly, the judges’ gateway makes it possible for the cartel-affiliated coyote networks to operate their multi-national, industrial-scale conveyor belt that delivers economic migrants into Americans’ jobs and extracts billions of dollars in smuggling fees. For example, the New York Times reported in June 2018:
Migrants die while trying to reach the gateway opened by Dolly Gee. In June 2019, the Washington Post reported:
Gee’s rule is also emptying towns in Central America. In April 2019, the Wall Street Journal reported:
Teenage migrants also use the judges’ Flores gateway to expand America’s child labor workforce. In November 2o20, ProPublica reported:
“The odd thing is, usually judges try to avoid catastrophes because they don’t want to be blamed … [but] we’ve already seen the chaos happening,” Miano said. Three of the four judges were appointed by Democrats. Gee is the daughter of Chinese immigrants and was nominated to the court by Clinton, as were appeals court judges William A. Fletcher and Marsha S. Berzon. The third appeals court judge, Milan D. Smith, was nominated by President George W. Bush, who was so pro-migration that he pushed for a cheap labor “Any Willing Worker” economy.
The court case was brought by a vast array of establishment, pro-migration business and white-collar legal groups, most of whom stand to gain from the flow of cheap foreign labor and welfare-aided consumers into Americans’ communities:
Feds: Hundreds of Victims of Illegal Alien Crimes Sought Relief in 20201:45 Hundreds of Americans victimized by illegal aliens sought relief from the Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Victims Of Immigration Crime Engagement (VOICE) this year, an office created by President Trump. This year, VOICE officials said they received about 700 calls from Americans and surviving family members who were victims of illegal alien crimes. VOICE was first created in 2017 by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) at the request of Trump to better help Americans who are often left navigating the criminal justice system, and immigration system, by themselves. “In FY 2020, ICE’s VOICE hotline received approximately 700 calls from victims requesting assistance,” the year-end ICE report reveals. This is not a full tally of all Americans who have been the victims of illegal alien crimes this year but rather a total of the calls VOICE received by victims requesting relief. The majority of calls to VOICE by victims were to request the case status of an illegal alien suspect. Others requested victim information, assistance in getting automated updates on a case which is known as “VINE,” and general information. In October, Trump issued a presidential proclamation that makes November 1 of every year the “National Day of Remembrance for Americans Killed by Illegal Aliens” to honor citizens who have been killed at the hands of illegal immigration. Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL) estimates that about 2,000 Americans are killed by illegal aliens every year. John Binder is a reporter for Breitbart News. Follow him on Twitter at @JxhnBinder. Cher Backs Ossoff and Warnock in Georgia: ‘Without Democrats in Charge Life Will Deteriorate’3:13 Left-wing pop star Cher took to Twitter on Sunday to back Democrat candidates Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock in the upcoming Georgia senate runoff elections, saying in an all-caps screed “JOE & DEMS WILL DO RIGHT BY U. VOTE WARNOCK, & OSSOFF. PLS TRUST ME, & DEMS.” “COVID-19 meant these schools took free lunch 2 students. What teachers saw surprised them,” wrote Cher, before clicking the CAPS lock button on her keyboard. “USA 2DAY. WITHOUT DEMOCRATS IN CHARGE LIFE WILL DETERIORATE,” the singer continued. “[America]’NS DESERVE EVERYTHING. JOE & DEMS WILL DO RIGHT BY U. VOTE WARNOCK, & OSSOFF. PLS TRUST ME, & DEMS.”
In her tweet, Cher shared an article from USA Today about teachers who saw “poverty up close” when they brought free lunches to kids at an elementary school during the Chinese coronavirus pandemic. Cher is constantly engaging in fear mongering. In October, the 74-year-old proclaimed that if President Donald Trump is reelected, it would mean the end of freedom in America, and that we “will have nothing” other than “what Putin’s idea of heaven is.” Cher has also taken to Twitter to accuse President Trump of “mass murder,” and floated death as a punishment. “THERE’S A BLAME 4 KILLING SOMEONE…ITS CALLED ‘MURDER’. IF YOU MURDER MORE THAN ONE PERSON YOU ARE A MASS MURDERER. THERE ARE MANY PUNISHMENTS FOR DIFFERENT DEGREES OF MURDER, BUT WHEN SOMEONE ‘KNOWINGLY’ MURDERS PEOPLE… THE PUNISHMENT IS DEATH. Trump’s a mass murderer… hhmm,” tweeted the Cry Like A Baby singer. Accusing the president of murder appeared to actually become somewhat of a habit for the singer. “trump Cares Nothing About Our Vets,Our Country,Ppl Who Are Dying of Covid,Ppl From Black Lives Matter,Kids He Keeps [locked] In Cages,Nurses,& Drs Who Are Dying Because He Wont Protect Them, HE KILLS AMERICANS WITHOUT A THOUGHT,HE KILLS 4 ADULATION AT RALLIES,” tweeted Cher over the summer.
Cher has also appeared to fantasize about the death of President Trump, stating that she hopes the ground “opens” while the president is at Gettysburg, and that “we never see him again.” “IF 4 TIME DRAFT DODGER HAS THE MENDACITY 2 STEP A TOE ON GETTYSBURG, NATIONAL CEMETERY, TRYS 2 MAKE SPEACH, COMPARES HIMSELF 2 LINCOLN, HOPE GROUND OPENS, & WE NEVER SEE HIS UGLY FACE AGAIN,” wrote Cher. “trump says ‘I’M WAR TIME PRESIDENT’. HARRIET COULD KICK HIS ASS & LED BLK SOLDIERS IN UNION ARMY.”
Last year, the Biden backing crooner bizarrely blamed Iowa Caucus disaster — which involved a series of mishaps that left Iowa’s Democrat Party in a state of chaos — on President Trump and “his flying monkeys.” “I BELIEVE IT WAS trump AND HIS FLYING MONKEYS WHO DESTROYED’IOWA,'” tweeted Cher before issuing a stark warning: “NOT KIDDING. TRUMP IS ABOUT TO SHOW U ‘EVIL’ WE NEVER KNEW EXISTED.”

Watch: Democrat Jon Ossoff Promises Illegal Aliens Amnesty at ‘Latinx Meet and Greet’4:11 MARIETTA, Georgia — Georgia Democrat Senate candidate Jon Ossoff vowed amnesty for all illegal aliens “who otherwise follow the law,” if he is elected, in response to a question about immigration during a campaign event Wednesday. A self-described Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipient from Mexico, who was part of a small crowd gathered in front of Super Mercado La Villa for a “Latinx Meet & Greet” event Wednesday morning, asked Ossoff what he thought about immigration law for Latinos. Ossoff said, “I will stand with you and all Dreamers, all DACA recipients, because Dreamers are every bit as American as any of us, and I’ll have your back in the U.S. Senate.” The Georgia Democrat then outlined his immigration policy, saying he would push for amnesty for all illegal aliens who “otherwise follow the law.” Ossoff said, “I will work to pass comprehensive immigration reform that establishes a path to legal status for those who lack documentation and otherwise follow the law.” There are an estimated 11 to 22 million illegal aliens living in the United States. Notably, Ossoff opposes Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) 287(g) program, which allows state and local law enforcement to cooperate with federal agents to locate wanted illegal aliens. Highlighting the program’s success in the states in which it has been implemented, ICE notes that in fiscal year 2020, 287(g) allowed the agency to identify “approximately 920 aliens convicted for assault, 1,261 convicted for dangerous drugs, 104 convicted for sex offenses/assaults, 377 convicted for obstructing police, 190 convicted for weapon offenses, and 37 convicted for homicide.” In Georgia specifically, the agency cites a recent instance of the state’s Department of Corrections, through 287(g), placing an immigration detainer and warrant on a Guatemalan citizen who had been convicted of aggravated assault-family violence and three counts of cruelty to children. ICE notes the Guatemalan citizen had entered the United States at an unknown date and location. Ossoff has argued that 287(g) threatens “bonds of trust between local law enforcement and local communities.” In response to Ossoff’s immigration stance, his opponent, Sen. David Perdue (R-GA), has chastised him for supporting “lawless sanctuary cities.” During the event, Ossoff also acknowledged a need for border security while referencing a “false choice” the country faces between controlling immigration and separating babies from their mothers. “We have to have secure borders in this country, but border security does not mean border brutality. We should reject this false choice. Yes, any country must know and control who enters and exits our territory,” Ossoff continued. “The idea that we are ripping babies from their mothers is a disgrace.” Many Democrats, including President-elect Joe Biden, have continued to repeat the misleading claim that the Trump administration is separating adult border crossers from the children with whom they arrive at the U.S.-Mexico border and treating children inhumanely. The claim stems from an Obama-era policy of separating the arriving children into border facilities, a policy the Trump administration ended. Ossoff then referenced his investigative film company, Insight TWI, which has come under scrutiny during his Senate bid for its financial history. “My business investigates war crimes. If that happened in a warzone, it’s a war crime,” Ossoff said. Ossoff concluded, “So bringing it all back around, I say all that to say I will stand with DACA recipients. I will work to advance comprehensive reform that establishes that path to legal status, and which secures our borders without brutalizing people and violating human rights.” Write to Ashley Oliver at aoliver@breitbart.com. |
