THE DOCTRINE OF THE N.A.F.T.A. GLOBALIST DEMOCRATS IS TO SERVE THE BILLIONAIRE CLASS WITH ENDLESS WAVES OF INVADING 'CHEAP' LABOR SUBSIDIZED WITH WELFARE FUNDED BY TAXES ON MIDDLE AMERICA.
In many speeches, Mayorkas says he is building a mass migration system to deliver workers to wealthy employers and investors and “equity” to poor foreigners. The nation’s border laws are subordinate to elites’ opinion about “the values of our country,” Mayorkas claims.

MERRICK GARLAND IS MY ABORTION MAN FOR OPEN BORDERS
L.A. Archbishop: Unborn Babies Truly ‘the Most Vulnerable’ in Our Society
If we do not protect “the right to life for our weakest and most vulnerable brothers and sisters, we can never fully guarantee any other human rights,” Archbishop Gomez said in an interview with Exaudi Catholic News published Thursday. “Thus, the right to life is the foundation of every right.”
While abortion is not easy to talk about, the archbishop said, “we cannot stay silent when so many unborn lives are being cast aside through abortion.”
In his interview, Gomez reiterated Catholic teaching that all human beings are equally precious and sacred, including those not yet born.
“We need to speak for every person in our society who cannot defend themselves,” he said. “And prenatal human life is truly the most innocent and the most vulnerable in our society.”
“We also need to keep working to build a society that sees new human life is not a burden but a beautiful gift,” he added. “That means helping women in crisis pregnancies, promoting adoption and foster care, and supporting children and strengthening marriages and families. All of this is what it means to build a culture of life.”
Americans also need to rediscover their faith in God, he suggested, since recognition of a common Fatherhood helps people to see each other as brothers and sisters.
Unless we believe that we have a Father in heaven, the archbishop said, “there is no necessary reason for us to treat one another as brothers and sisters here on earth.”
“Without belief in a God who creates the human person in his image, we lose the basis for all the noble principles and goals that we have in our society,” he continued. “We have no solid foundation for our commitments to human dignity, freedom, equality, and fraternity.”
“In our political life in America, we should also be united by a common commitment to the sacred purposes of our country — to be one nation under God, dedicated to the truth that all men and women are created equal,” he said, “that every person has God-given rights, and that we are made to live in freedom and truth.”
“So we are praying for unity and peace in our country, and a new spirit of true patriotism,” he said.
Merrick Garland Approved Illegal Alien Teen's US Abortion

Three-and-a-half years ago, two alien children were caught illegally crossing the Mexican border into the United States.
One of these children decided she wanted to terminate the life of the other.
She was the 17-year-old mother. The other was the seven-week-old baby in that mother's womb.
The agency that arrested this pregnant teenager turned her over to the Office of Refugee Resettlement, which placed her in a shelter. She demanded an abortion. But the office, which had a policy of not facilitating abortions, declined to facilitate hers — as it sought to find her a sponsor.
Once a sponsor took custody of her, moreover, she would have been free to terminate her child in the United States.
But some lawyers took up the case of this pregnant illegal alien teen and sued the government on her behalf. The Fifth Amendment, they argued, guarantees abortions to pregnant foreign teenagers arrested while illegally trying to enter the United States.
An Obama-appointed district judge agreed.
The Department of Health and Human Services appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, where Merrick Garland — President Joe Biden's current nominee to be attorney general — was then chief judge.
Texas was joined by eight other states in filing an amicus brief that made a simple point: This illegal alien was free to leave the United States and pursue an abortion elsewhere.
A three-judge panel ruled 2-to-1 in favor of HHS.
Judge Brett Kavanaugh was joined by Judge Karen Henderson in the majority. But Kavanaugh offered a weak and narrow argument. The per curiam ruling he backed did not conclude that a teenage alien arrested while illegally entering the United States did not have a right to an abortion here. It implicitly conceded she did — which the Trump administration also conceded in its argument to the court.
The Kavanaugh-backed ruling stated: "The Government argues that this process — by which a minor is released from HHS custody to a sponsor — does not unduly burden the minor's right under Supreme Court precedent to an abortion. We agree, so long as the process of securing a sponsor to whom the minor is released occurs expeditiously."
While voting with Kavanaugh on the court's order, Henderson would not join its argument. Her "reasoning," said a footnote to the order, "will follow in a separate statement to be filed within five days of the date of this order."
Judge Patricia Millet, an Obama appointee, dissented. She argued that delaying the illegal alien's access to abortion violated her purported constitutional right to have one.
The illegal alien's lawyers immediately asked for the full appeals court to consider the case. It did — and issued a per curiam order permitting the district court to let the teen have the abortion. Chief Judge Garland, whose name is inscribed at the top of that order, mutely stood behind it.
Henderson was not mute. She again dissented. This time, she sharply criticized the weak position the Trump administration took and the wrong position accepted by Garland.
"Does an alien minor who attempts to enter the United States eight weeks pregnant — and who is immediately apprehended and then in custody for 36 days between arriving and filing a federal suit — have a constitutional right to an elective abortion?" Henderson asked.
"The government has inexplicably and wrongheadedly failed to take a position on that antecedent question," she said. "I say wrongheadedly because at least to me the answer is plainly — and easily — no."
Henderson argued that if the Fifth Amendment gives illegal aliens the right to an abortion inside the United States — as Garland's court claimed — than the same logic would give them the right to contribute to political campaigns here or own guns.
"Having discarded centuries of precedent and policy, the majority offers no limiting principle to constrain this court or any other from following today's decision to its logical end," wrote Henderson. "If the Due Process Clause applies to J.D. with full force, there will be no reason she cannot donate to political campaigns, despite 52 U.S.C. 30121's prohibition on contributions by nonresident foreign nationals inasmuch as freedom of political expression is plainly fundamental to our system of ordered liberty.
"I see no reason," Henderson continued, "that she may not possess a firearm, notwithstanding 18 U.S.C. 9922(g)(5)'s prohibition on doing so while 'illegally or unlawfully in the United States' ... inasmuch as 'the Second Amendment conferred an individual right to keep and bear arms.'"
The illegal alien's baby was aborted the next day.
Biden has now nominated the chief judge who oversaw this unforgettable case — involving an illegal border crossing — to be the nation's chief law enforcement officer.
At Garland's confirmation hearing, Republican Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri asked him, "Do you believe that illegal entry at America's borders should remain a crime?"
Garland — under oath — was stumped. "I haven't thought about that question," he said. "I just haven't thought about that question."
"I don't know of a proposal to decriminalize but still make it unlawful to enter," he said a moment later. "I just don't know the answer to that question. I haven't thought about it."
So, what was Garland thinking, if anything, when a pregnant alien teenager — caught trying to illegally enter the United States — came before his court, seeking his blessing to terminate her child?

Xavier Becerra Refused to Name Even One Abortion Restriction He Could Support
California Attorney General Xavier Becerra refused to answer questions about his radical pro-abortion views during his Senate confirmation hearing Wednesday and could not name even one abortion restriction he could support.
Sen. Steve Daines (R-MT) asked Becerra, President Joe Biden’s nominee for secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), whether he supported any restriction whatsoever on abortions, including those intended to end the life of babies with a prenatal disability diagnosis of Down syndrome or partial-birth abortions.
Today, I asked @HHSGov nominee Xavier Becerra if he supported any kind of restriction on abortion, including restrictions on the lethal discrimination of babies with Down syndrome or partial-birth abortion.
“Senator, let me try to respond this way,” Becerra said.
“I have tried to make sure on this important issue for so many people, where oftentimes again we have different views, but deeply held views, that I have tried to make sure that I am abiding by the law,” he continued to say. “Because whether it’s a particular restriction, or whether it’s the whole idea of abortion, whether we agree or not, we have to come to some conclusion, and that’s where the law gives– “
“But, to be clear,” Daines interrupted. “Is there any line you would draw? Is there just one – just one restriction that relates to abortion that you might support?”
Becerra still would not respond to Daines’ question, but, instead, attempted to distract the senator with references to his Catholic faith, including that his mother “blessed” him before he left for his confirmation hearing and that she “prays the rosary every day” and “said a prayer and included me in that prayer.”
Daines again pressed Becerra on the issue of unborn babies and “the battle for those who don’t have a voice.”
“You didn’t answer the question,” the senator asserted. “Even one, even one restriction?”
“How about a ban on the lethal discrimination of babies diagnosed with Down syndrome?” he suggested.
Becerra began, “Senator, if I can simply say to you that I respect the different views that are out there, but what’s important is to make sure that–”
“But, if you’re confirmed, you’re going to be the head of HHS!” Daines exclaimed. “That’s a huge organization, it has profound impact on our society! How about a ban on sex-selective abortion?”
Once again, Becerra responded, “I respect those that take a particular view. My job will be to make sure I am following the law.”
Becerra would also not say he would support a ban on partial-birth abortion.
During the first day of his confirmation hearing Tuesday, Sen. Mitt Romney told Becerra that “on partial-birth abortion, it sounds like we are not going to reach common ground there.”
Roger Severino of the Ethics and Public Policy Center (EPPC) said in a statement Becerra’s confirmation hearing was “devastating” for his nomination.
The former Trump administration HHS Office for Civil Rights director added the hearing “exposed him as well qualified to lead Planned Parenthood but unqualified to be America’s top public health official during a pandemic.”
“He failed to explain his never-ending obsession with illegally forcing nuns to buy contraceptive and abortion coverage and could not name a single abortion restriction he would ever support,” said Severino, who now directs EPPC’s HHS Accountability Project. “America needs an expert in public health at HHS, certainly not a divisive abortion extremist.”
National pro-life leader Kristan Hawkins also reacted to Becerra’s remarks in a statement sent to Breitbart News.
“If you can’t name ANY limits for abortion, you’re too radical to run the nation’s health care,” said the Students for Life Action president. She continued:
During two days of hearings, Xavier Becerra has talked a lot about finding common cause with pro-life Americans, but his history indicates that given the opportunity, he chooses to support the most extreme elements of the abortion lobby. It’s more important than ever for Americans to visit StopBecerra.com and ask their Senators to vote NO on Becerra.
“While Becerra kept repeating his talking points about finding common ground, he didn’t look for it when he had power in other offices,” Hawkins noted.
