“The Democrats had abandoned their working-class base to chase what they pretended was a racial group when what they were actually chasing was the momentum of unlimited migration”. DANIEL GREENFIELD
Democrats don't believe they can win elections honestly in the long run, so they need more Democratic voters. If they cannot turn more American voters their way, then new voters from South and Central America will do just fine.
Power and the southern border
Why would Democratic leaders open the U.S. border to hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens? Simple: It's all about power. The Democrats' thirst for power. Getting it and keeping it. In our system of government, that means getting more votes. The illegal aliens of today are the Democratic voters of tomorrow. That's how Democratic leaders see them anyway. Democrats don't believe they can win elections honestly in the long run, so they need more Democratic voters. If they cannot turn more American voters their way, then new voters from South and Central America will do just fine. First, they need to get them here. Second, at some point in the future, these new illegal aliens will need to be given the vote. That is the immigration crisis — just not the one being reported.
The crisis being reported is the inhumane conditions at detention facilities housing thousands of alien children. If illegal alien children are suffering at the southern border of the United States right now, it is a direct result of the Democrats' unquenchable thirst for power. The Democrat party is not stupid; these people know full well that mass migration into this country is bad for its citizens in many ways. But serving their constituents is not their primary goal; acquiring power and securing it permanently are. Aren't they worried about pictures of children living in horrible conditions in immigration facilities? No — a little bad press is a small price to pay for conducting a successful political coup.
Using crises to accomplish a goal that they can't get through the political process is Democrat 101. It has been used for decades. Democrats are masters at exploiting crises. They don't care what the crisis is, only that they have one they can exploit to achieve their goal of consolidating power. The great thing about a crisis, real or created, is that power-hungry politicians know that the public is more willing to give the government some leeway if it will help them deal with the crisis. But to understand what is really happening, you have to look behind the crisis. There is always an agenda at work behind it.
When Democrats say they have an immigration plan, they don't mean that they plan to:
— secure the border to help protect Americans from COVID-19
— protect Americans from aliens who have committed additional crimes
— protect Americans from terrorists
— protect American taxpayers from the burden of millions of dependent aliens stressing the health care, law enforcement, and government services systems
What Democrats mean is that they intend to trade illegal border crossings for Democratic votes. The nation may have a crisis on the southern border. The Biden administration does not. All is going according to plan.

Robert Rector, a Heritage Foundation senior fellow who studies poverty and illegal immigration, told Fox the costs represent “the tip of the iceberg.”
“They get $3 in benefits for every $1 they spend,” Rector said. It can cost the government a total of $24,000 per year per family to pay for things like education, police, fire, medical, and subsidized housing.
WATCH: Farage Travels to U.S. Border to Expose Illegal Immigration ‘Emergency’
Brexit leader Nigel Farage said that the illegal immigration crisis at the United States’ southern border has turned into a “real emergency” that could spell political disaster for the Democrats following a trip to the Mexican frontier in Arizona.
Mr Farage, who following the successful Brexit campaign has worked to uncover the growing boat migrant crisis in the English Channel, said: “What I’m looking at here, in particular, are those that don’t get caught, those that finish up directly going into the drug trade and other criminal actions.
“I’ve covered this issue before back in the United Kingdom; I’ve covered the boats coming into the United Kingdom, the lack of coverage from mainstream media.”
He said that the left’s call for open borders was one of the main reasons for the success of Brexit and the downfall of the left-wing Labour Party in Britain.
“I have a real feeling here that with the midterm elections coming up in America, this issue of what’s going on at the border may well be the thing that brings the Republicans back and gives them majorities in both of the houses and perhaps even the presidency in 2024,” Farage said.
“Those in London and Washington underestimate just how important mass immigration into a country is,” he added, warning that the sentiment against illegal immigration in American is “about really to bite”.
Mr Farage travelled to the border with Sheriff Mark Lamb, of Pinal County Arizona, who showed the Brexit leader the tactics of the migrants and coyotes who smuggle them into America through Mexico.
Sherrif Lamb said that the migrants are typically clad in camouflage clothing and wearing carpet shoes, which are quieter and don’t leave behind tracks. He said that they usually bring with them a light supply bag containing toilet paper, penicillin, water, and Vicks VapoRub.
He told Farage that since drug runners have largely switched to smuggling synthetic drugs across the border, it is no longer the case that every migrant carries loads of drugs, but rather one or two “seasoned, trustworthy guys will carry loads of methamphetamines and fentanyl.”
Sherrif Lamb continued by saying that the drug mules will often sip on a concoction of water, meth, and heroin to keep them going on the arduous journey across the desert, saying: “We chased a guy in the helicopter for five miles before we finally let him go and he was running full-on sprint through this desert,” explaining that the drug concoction “gives them the energy”.
He said that it was previously easier to spot the seasoned drug runners because of calluses on their backs from carrying loads of marijuana, but nowadays they are carrying light loads of synthetics, making it easier for coyotes to blend in with migrants.
A local woman told the Brexit leader that her son, who was a sergeant in Mesa, Arizona, lost his life after an illegal migrant slammed head-on into her son at over 100 miles per hour. She said that the illegal immigrant — a repeat criminal offender — was high on meth when he killed her son.
She said that the situation on the southern border under Joe Biden is “sickening”, saying: “There are too many families and too many children that are going to be affected by illegal crime in our country.
“They voted for the wrong people and they fight and go to rallies and talk about we need open borders, love everybody in the world, but they’re not really understanding what they’re fighting with.”
Rev. C. L. Bryant told Mr Farage that people in America need to “wake up to the invasion that’s going on here.”
“You’ve seen it in your own country,” Reverend Bryant said to Mr Farage, adding: “So Americans, stand up, wake up, push back against the overtaking of our nation; those who came before us, they didn’t pay the price that they did for this for us to give it away, so let’s not do it.”
The Brexiteer said that what he witnessed is not “people fleeing danger for refugee status” but rather a “criminal enterprise from start to finish.”
“I don’t think the Democrats are going to know what’s hit them once people realize the truth,” he said.
Moving on to expose a path which leads to a pickup point for trucks to pick up migrants on the interstate highway, Mr Farage said: “This was the issue that got Brexit, this was the issue that crashed the Labour Party, this is the issue if the Republicans get the right message” the voter base for the Democrats could “collapse in the midterm elections.”
“This is a massive issue and this is not a crisis now, this is now a real emergency,” Farage concluded.

Border Patrol agents in the Del Rio Sector in Texas have seen a 3,166% increase in arrests of convicted sex offenders compared to the same timeframe last fiscal year -- as agents across the border continue to nab criminals with convictions for sex crimes, including against children.
Media hides the ugly realities of illegal immigration
For all its claims to being public spirited, the press is doing a remarkably execrable job of reporting the more relevant realities about illegal immigration, now that the U.S. border is open and a surge has followed.
Start with the entry of criminals.
The press likes to feature single moms on the go with cute toddlers, or illegal immigrants reuniting with their illegally shipped kids in tear-jerking news segments. What they don't feature are people with far more incentive to come into the U.S, now that the border is open: Criminals. People so tainted by lawbreaking with such records of harm to others that they can't come here legally even if they tried. An open border? From their own perspective, they'd be fools not to.
So here are a couple of stories about how Joe Biden's open border policies are set to hit Americans and how much of the press is keeping that out of the news:
According to Fox News (hat tip: Red State):
Border Patrol agents in the Del Rio Sector in Texas have seen a 3,166% increase in arrests of convicted sex offenders compared to the same timeframe last fiscal year -- as agents across the border continue to nab criminals with convictions for sex crimes, including against children.
The agency said that since Oct. 1, the beginning of Fiscal Year 2021, agents in the sector have arrested 95 convicted sex offenders -- making a 3,166% increase over the same timeframe last fiscal year.
Obviously, they're getting in here. The Biden administration is catching few illegal entrants and deporting even fewer. On the deportation front, the Biden administration's immigration enforcement arm, ICE, sent home fewer than 3,000 illegal aliens in April. According to the Washington Post, deportations fell to the lowest level on record in that month, a peak month for the ongoing border surge.
The number of deportations carried out by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement last month fell to the lowest monthly level on record, a drop that comes as illegal border crossings remain at a 20-year high, according to the latest enforcement data, obtained by The Washington Post.
ICE deported 2,962 immigrants in April, according to the agency. It is the first time the monthly figure has dipped below 3,000, records show. The April total is a 20 percent decline from March, when ICE deported 3,716.President Biden and his Department of Homeland Security team have issued new rules to rein in ICE officers, who were afforded wide latitude under the Trump administration to make arrests and were encouraged to boost deportations.
It's not easy to match person-for-person as whether this latest crop of arrested rapists and child molesters got "removed" or not, many of these perverts aren't even counted in the deportation statistics because they are recent crossers, but what we do know is that far more are getting in than getting thrown out. And that once "removed," these foreign criminals are very likely to take another shot at returning because the border's still open, the Border Patrol is busy changing diapers, and people are getting in through sheer force of numbers. Why wouldn't they try again? What do they have to lose?
As if the U.S. isn't already in the middle of a crime surge, brought on by a collapse in cultural values, a huge welfare state, NGO activist overfunding, and police officers retiring at their desks or just plain retiring as the left demonizes and defunds them. The release of thousands of criminals into the U.S. is a monstrous plague about to revisit the communities these criminals prey on, which will obviously be the Latino enclaves where they can be found, but also in the rich neighborhoods which employ them as construction workers, gardeners, fast food workers, and other occupations that touch on the entire population. Is there someone standing by to record just how many of these illegals are coming in to commit more crimes? Perverts are just one category of criminals, as it happens, there are also robbers, fraudsters, killers, arsonists, cat burglars, smugglers, drug dealers, and more.
This is not to scream that every illegal is one of them, as the left likes to paint such a problem but to point out that an open border is a particularly strong incentive to enter the U.S. for those who are barred from legal entry to the states and who have unusual contempt for U.S. laws. Leave a door open and a robber will come in. It's the same with leaving a border open and it's U.S. citizens who are going to pay for it, as their victims.
Watch for the crime surge to expand as illegals with criminal proclivities and records begin to move about the country.
Here's the other problem: The press is already doing its darndest to dismiss the fact that heinous criminals are coming illegally into the U.S. under open borders as irrelevant, something only crazed right-wingers keep tabs on, and polite people would never dream of noticing. The Mollie Tibbett murder case, where the young college student's killer, an illegal alien who shouldn't have been here, just got convicted of her murder, is a case in point:
According to mrcNewsBusters:
Cristhian Bahena Rivera confessed to killing the young college student, after her body was found dumped in a cornfield. While the case horrified the nation, the media didn’t want to touch the story for obvious reasons, and evidently, still don’t. This afternoon a jury found Bahena Rivera, guilty of first degree murder. ABC’s evening newscast gave the update just twenty seconds while CBS was the only network to give it a full report. NBC Nightly News chose to completely ignore the verdict.
On ABC’s World News Tonight, fill-in anchor Whit Johnson shared this brief, completely avoiding mentioning the fact that Bahena Rivera was an illegal immigrant (it wasn’t on screen either):
Fox News found a string of others pursuing this same 'hide it' tack:
CNN's report didn't mention that the convicted murderer was an "undocumented immigrant" from Mexico until the fifth paragraph.
The Daily Beast also headlined "Iowa Farmworker Found Guilty of Murdering Mollie Tibbetts" and buried the mention that he entered the U.S. illegally to the sixth paragraph.
The New York Times, meanwhile, put out a tweet that read, "Cristhian Bahena Rivera, a 26-year-old farmworker, was found guilty of first-degree murder on Friday in the killing of Mollie Tibbetts, a University of Iowa student who had vanished while jogging in 2018."
The Times' report later mentioned in the fourth paragraph of its report that he was an "undocumented" immigrant.
Based on this kind of reporting, the man's job as a farmworker was far more relevant to the murder than the fact that he had broken U.S. immigration law to enter the country, and that he never should have been here in the first place. By this logic, we are now all supposed to be afraid of farmworkers and the dreadful threat of farmworkers, and the importance of farmworkers and college students not mixing, rather than the hard simple reality that criminals are entering the U.S. illegally, taking the U.S. open border as an exceptionally attractive opportunity, and that once here, preying on the U.S. population. Obvious question: Shouldn't the U.S. be screening who gets in here illegally? Or better still, shouldn't the U.S. close the border to illegal entrants and admit only legal immigrants into our country, as had been the policy under President Trump? It seems like the most obvious of common sense.
But as NewsBusters noted, the nets are spending a lot of airtime on tear-jerking, tug-on-the-heartstrings reunions of illegals inside the U.S. while utterly burying the news of the crime rolling in as imported foreign criminals join the surge.
It's disgusting. Criminals are coming in, the U.S. is paying for it, and the press is covering it up. We all know what this game is: Importing a new class of easily manipulated, illiterate and subliterate leftist voters for Democrats and too bad about Mollie Tibbetts. Maybe there's a problem with that.
Illegal Alien Found Guilty of Murdering Mollie Tibbetts
An illegal alien has been found guilty of murdering 20-year-old University of Iowa student Mollie Tibbetts by a jury on Friday.
Cristhian Bahena Rivera, an illegal alien from Mexico, was arrested in August 2018 — about a month after Tibbetts first went missing on the evening of July 18, 2018, in Brooklyn, Iowa — and charged with first-degree murder.
Bahena Rivera led investigators to Tibbetts’ body and he said he spotted her jogging, ran up to her, and became angry because she threatened to call the police. Rivera said he then blacked out and took her body from his car trunk and placed her in a cornfield, placing corn stalks over her.
Bahena Rivera first crossed the United States-Mexico border at 17-years-old and headed to Iowa where he has relatives. He worked at the Yarabee Farms dairy farm under the name “John Budd” from a stolen Social Security number.
Twelve jurors, including three Hispanic Americans and nine white Americans from 19 to 71-years-old, found Bahena Rivera guilty of first-degree murder following a nearly two-week trial and less than eight hours of deliberation.

Prosecutors said the illegal alien had a sexual motive and murdered Tibbetts, while the defense sought to pit the murder on Tibbetts’ then-boyfriend, Dalton Jack, and other accomplices.
Over the course of the trial, Bahena Rivera took the witness stand and claimed he was kidnapped by two masked men who killed Tibbetts before he dumped her body in the cornfield and drove off, never hearing from the men again.
The defense, in their closing arguments, sought to pin Tibbetts’ murder on her boyfriend Dalton Jack, claiming investigators did not thoroughly investigate other suspects once Bahena Rivera confessed to the murder. The defense told the jury that the confession, though, was coerced and false because Bahena Rivera was scared the masked men would hurt his family and he was tired.
During the trial, the medical examiner who reviewed Tibbetts’ body told the jury that she was stabbed potentially up to 12 times by her killer. Tibbetts, the medical examiner said, suffered stab wounds to her head, right hand, neck, and torso.
Last week, the jury saw photos of the cornfield where Bahena Rivera dumped Tibbetts’ body. The jury also viewed photos of Tibbetts’ body covered in corn stalks. Likewise, the jury saw photos of Bahena Rivera’s car trunk where four locations of human blood, identified as Tibbetts’, were found.
In detailed testimony by the investigator to whom Bahena Rivera confessed murdering Tibbetts, the jury was relayed portions of the transcripts. Bahena Rivera said he saw Tibbetts jogging, chased her down, blacked out, then remembered driving with her body in the trunk of his car before dumping her in a cornfield.
Bahena Rivera is expected to be sentenced on July 15.

10 Deported Sex Offenders Busted in a Week Crossing into 1 Texas Border Sector
Del Rio Sector Border Patrol agents stopped 10 convicted sex offenders from successfully making their way into the U.S. interior during a one-week period this month. Those arrested include previously deported individuals with convictions for lewd and lascivious acts with a child, forcible sexual abuse, sexual assault of a child under 14, sexual assault of a child, and more.
“The majority of these criminals were apprehended in our sector’s most remote areas, attempting to avoid detection by crossing far from populated areas, “Del Rio Sector Chief Patrol Agent Austin L. Skero II said in a written statement. “Our agents’ sign cutting and tracking skills were instrumental in capturing these criminals, preventing them from infiltrating our communities.”
The arrests of these criminal aliens took place in the Del Rio Sector between May 17 and 24, officials stated.
During one incident, a records check identified two men as Mexican nationals with previous criminal convictions. The first received a conviction for lewd and lascivious molestation. The second received a felony conviction for lewd and lascivious acts with a child.
“Between May 17 and 23, Border Patrol agents arrested Mexican nationals with felony convictions including forcible sexual abuse, sexual assault of a child under 14, sexual assault of a child, sexual assault, sexual conduct with a person under 13 and a registered sexual offender,” Del Rio Sector officials said in a written statement. “Agents also arrested two Honduran nationals with felony convictions for statutory rape, and second-degree sexual assault of a child.”
Chief Skero mentioned that these types of previously deported criminal aliens frequently attempt to hide or otherwise avoid apprehension.
These arrests come amid the continuing border crisis where agents are apprehending thousands of migrants per day.
Skero reports a 750 percent increase in the number of Border Patrol encounters with migrants from just one station.

Joe Biden: DHS Is for Migration, Not Homeland Security
President Joe Biden’s budget request to Congress for 2022 portrays the nation’s homeland security agency as a welcome center for economic migrants who will compete for Americans’ jobs, wages, and homes.
The White House’s “Fact Sheet” simply ignores the migration wave deliberately triggered by President Joe Biden and his pro-migration deputies. Instead, it promises to “Reinvest in the Foundations of Our Nation’s Strength” with a “Fair, Orderly, and Humane Immigration System.”
The budget seeks no raise for the Department of Homeland Security, almost eliminates funding for border barriers, and flatlines spending on immigration enforcement officers.
But it seeks billions in extra spending to register, advise, and house migrants and refugees as they move into Americans’ labor markets and housing markets.
“They’re hiding the true intention of defunding,” said Rob Law, the director of regulatory affairs and policy at the Center for Immigration Studies. The goal is to convert order agents into “border welcomers, ” like Walmart greeters, he said, adding:
The [migrant] numbers will go up until there’s literally not enough people left in the Third World to come here ….They’re not going to decrease because there is no enforcement, they’re not going to decrease.
Helping immigration is a core function of government, said the document:
The Budget proposes the resources necessary to fulfill the President’s commitment to rebuild the Nation’s badly damaged refugee admissions program and support up to 125,000 admissions in 2022. The Budget would also revitalize U.S. leadership in Central America to address the root causes of irregular migration, providing $861 million in assistance to the region. The Budget provides $345 million for the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services to adjudicate naturalization and asylum cases of those who have been waiting for years. And it increases the budget of the Executive Office for Immigration Review by 21 percent to $891 million to reduce court backlogs by hiring 100 new immigration judges and support teams.
Labor migration is deeply unpopular, in part, because it moves wealth from Americans’ pay packets to investors and from heartland states to coastal states.
Each year, roughly four million young Americans join the workforce.
But the federal government forces them to compete for jobs against one million new legal immigrants, many new illegal migrants, plus an army of more than eight million illegals and two million white-collar and blue-collar temporary foreign workers.
Biden’s budget seeks funding to welcome at least 1.5 million migrants in 2021, whether they arrived legally or illegally. But his open borders will allow many extra migrants to move into the United States.
Biden’s wealthy allies welcome the wage of cheap workers, Law said:
The migrants are not going to live in their communities or go to their kids’ schools. They won’t interfere with their elite lifestyle, and in fact, they may very well benefit from it in the form of having cheap babysitters or lawnmower services, or restaurants.
Yet the Biden document claims the extra migration will boost working Americans:
We must seize this moment to reimagine and rebuild a new American economy that invests in the promise and potential of every single American, that makes it easier for families to break into the middle class and stay in the middle class, and that positions the United States to out-compete our rivals.
The budget will ask Congress for $52.9 billion to spend between October 1, 2021, and September 30, 2023.
The budget asks for $345 million to accelerate the award of green cards and citizenship to migrants and to process documents for 125,000 refugees as they are escorted into Americans’ workplaces and towns.
The budget asks for $1.23 billion for border “infrastructure.” But only a tiny share — $54 million — will be used for barriers, and the bulk would be used to build extra facilities to welcome extra migrants.
Another section asks for only $925 million for “Procurement, Construction, and Improvements” for the Customs and Border Protection agency — down from $1.84 billion approved by Congress last year. A different section asks for $750 million for border facilities — such as migrant welcome centers — far above the $103 million granted last year by Congress.
In the next few weeks, the agency is expected to ask Congress for permission to fund the current migration waves by transferring funds from other priorities favored by Americans, such as emergency rebuilding or anti-drug operations by the U.S. Coast Guard.
The deep public opposition to labor migration is built on the widespread recognition that legal and illegal migration moves money away from most Americans’ pocketbooks and families.
Migration moves money from employees to employers, from families to investors, from young to old, from children to their parents, from homebuyers to investors, from technology to stoop labor, from red states to blue states, and from the central states to the coastal states such as New York.
Biden Admin Releases 10K Migrant Children into U.S. in May
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) officials increased the numbers of unaccompanied alien children (UAC) being released into the interior of the United States since May 1. The speed at which HHS officials transferred recently apprehended unaccompanied minor children helped the agency finally release more on average than are apprehended on any single day. According to an HHS report, the Biden administration released 10,700 unaccompanied migrant children into the U.S. this month.
The number of UACs in federal custody dropped from a high of nearly 23,000 on May 1 to 18,481 on Thursday. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas deployed a volunteer workforce from multiple federal agencies to assist HHS in their effort to quickly process, transfer, and ultimately release the UACs into the United States once sponsors are located.
In a statement to Congress earlier this month, Mayorkas commented on the efforts leading to the speedy releases.
“The Federal Protective Service alongside other DHS federal law enforcement partners has helped provide security support to HHS facilities housing unaccompanied children,” the secretary said. “ICE has increased its transportation capacity to transfer these children to ORR. The DHS Volunteer Force has deployed more than 400 additional staff to provide onsite support at HHS facilities across the country.”
The flow of unaccompanied migrant children is still in full swing. Nearly 7,000 UACs were arrested and placed in Border Patrol custody as the releases took place. The arrests mean the number of children released to sponsors, although increasing in pace, only result in marginal reductions to the total number of UACs detained.
Health and Human Services opened more than a dozen Emergency Intake Sites to deal with the influx of migrant children. These facilities make use of abandoned oilfield man camps, vacant buildings, and convention centers across the United States.
According to Mayorkas, “Between March 13 and May 1, FEMA assisted in the activation of fourteen HHS EIS facilities. EIS facilities are operating in Texas, California, and Michigan, increasing the potential temporary bed capacity when fully staffed by 19,987 beds, or 1,999 percent.”
These unlicensed facilities faced criticism due to insufficient staffing, drinking water issues, and Covid 19 protections.
In March, Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R) sharply criticized the Biden administration over conditions at multiple HHS detention facilities for unaccompanied migrant children. Abbott specifically cited a drinking-water issue at a facility hastily opened by HHS in Midland, Texas, and a COVID-19 outbreak in a facility opened in Carrizo Springs, Texas.
Governor Abbott said, “The Biden Administration has been an abject failure when it comes to ensuring the safety of unaccompanied minors who cross our border. The conditions unaccompanied minors face in these federally run facilities is unacceptable and inhumane.”
HHS estimates the cost to detain a child in the newest facilities, which they refer to as Emergency Intake Sites, is $775 per day. In other long-term facilities, they indicate that cost to be approximately $275 per day. Based on their estimates, even at the reduced number of UACs currently in custody, the cost to the American taxpayer stands at nearly $7 million per day.
