NANCY PELOSI - WE ARE HERE TO PROTECT JOE'S ILLEGALS, HAND THEM JOBS, HOUSING, 'FREE' HEALTHCARE AND VOTER REGISTRATION CARDS

The Rio Grande Valley Sector in Texas leads the nation in apprehensions for migrant and narcotics smuggling. The sector is more than 400% busier than it was last year at the same time. Overall, the Border Patrol is expected to surpass one million migrant apprehensions for this fiscal year when official arrest totals are released in July.

House Democrats blocked a motion Tuesday that would keep a federal government policy to deport illegal aliens quickly.

Rep. Yvette Herrell (R-NM) proposed a motion to block the advancement of the previous question on H. Res. 504. If the House blocked the previous question, the chamber could consider Herrell’s legislation, H.R. 471, the PAUSE Act of 2021. The bill would provide for stringent enforcement of Title 42, a public health order that allows the federal government to quickly expell illegal immigrants who may be spreading communicable diseases. It would prohibit the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Health and Human Services (HHS) from weakening the implementation of Title 42.

Democrats blocked the motion with 214 votes against Herrell’s motion and 195 votes in favor.

Herrell said on the House floor ahead of the vote that the legislation would help curb the migrant crisis unfolding under President Joe Biden’s administration:

Mr. Speaker, if the previous question is defeated, we will amend the rule to immediately consider my bill HR 471, the PAUSE Act which will preserve and protect Title 42 health restrictions at the border.

The border is in flames. And this crisis is cruel, it’s costly, and it’s cowardice.

Biden’s border crisis is harming my constituents and all Americans. Ranchers cannot let their children play outside for fear of cartel gunmen. In the past, people along the border on the American side in my district have been held at gunpoint, they’ve had vehicles stolen, some have even been kidnapped or worse.

The first duty of a nation is to defend its border and its people. President Biden has been derelict in this duty. Whether it be from the pandemic that continues, or the violent criminals that cross our border in the dark of night.

The migrant crisis has continued to unfold under Biden’s watch. Over the last three months, there have been 170,000 border encounters and over 500,000 illegal alien border crossings.

Herrell’s floor speech follows reports finding that Biden may end Title 42.

The Trump Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) implemented the order in March 2020 to discourage illegal immigration during the coronavirus pandemic. Democrats, immigration activists, and human rights groups, and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) have continued to lobby the Biden administration to eliminate Title 42.

Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) also spoke in favor of Herrell’s bill:

Think from October to December 2020, in the previous administration there were 185,000 expulsions made under Title 42 which the Gentlelady from New Mexico just discussed. That was 85% of all encounters…

Compare to the Biden administration since relaxing Title 42, not yet eliminating it although that’s allegedly coming, relaxing it, only 64% of encounters were enforced between February to April 2021 leaving 289,000 exceptions under Title 42…

Border patrol is overrun. Our border is wide open between the ports of entry because the border patrol is processing people at border patrol centers in McAllen…

Latin America and the Caribbean have the world’s highest death toll in proportion to population. With 33 million reported infections and a million reported deaths. Brazil leads the region, it leads the world in the daily average number of new infections reported. Colombia’s reporting the highest rate of infection in South America. Guatemala’s at peak. Honduras is at 86% of peak…

“We need to enforce the full Title 42 authority and it’s an imperative for border and public health security and that is why we should defeat the previous question,” Roy added.

President Joe Biden’s deputies are trying to bring back many deported migrants regardless of the damage to ordinary Americans, according to official statements given to the pro-migration Marshall Project website.

“We’re eager to bring people back in who shouldn’t have been removed in the first place,” an official told the website for a June 29 article, adding:

The officials say that many deportations, especially under President Trump, were unduly harsh, with little law enforcement benefit. They are working to devise a system to reconsider cases of immigrants who were removed despite strong ties to the United States.

The article suggests that Biden’s deputies will exclude violent and criminal migrants but are eager to welcome deported migrants who violated laws barring illegal entry or illegal employment.

“They have complete and utter disregard for Americans, for the rule of law, the American way of life, for Americans jobs, for American wages, for all of the things that we have as Americans have said that we want,” responded Rosemary Jenks, the policy director at NumbersUSA. “They also have total disregard and disdain for us as taxpayers, because we have to pay for all of this,” she added.

The Biden push spotlights the pro-migration officials’ disregard of the laws which guarantee Americans’ right to their national labor market. Those laws — although often violated or ignored by companies and agencies — exclude foreign migrants and require CEOs to compete for Americans’ labor. The bargaining is described in a June 27 article in the New York Times:

Amy Barber Terschluse, the owner of three [Express Employment Professionals] franchises in St. Louis, handles mostly [hiring for] manufacturing, distribution and administrative jobs. Wages, hours and a short commute are what matter most to job seekers, she said, and few would work for less than $14 an hour.

Ms. Terschluse said she had also had to educate employers, who have gotten used to low wages and the ability to dictate schedules and other conditions. Some employers, she said, have also gotten into “a vicious cycle of replace, replace, replace.”

In industries like hospitality and warehousing, annual turnover rates can surpass 100 percent, which can pare overall growth. Mary C. Daly, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, said good job matches between employers and workers produced the most productivity and engagement.

Biden’s invited migration provided employers with roughly 100,000 job-seekers in May. If continued, it will flood the labor market and wreck Americans’ ability to bargain for the higher wages they need for their families and housing.

Biden’s deputies are putting the interests of migrants and employers ahead of working Americans, including many millions of Americans who voted for Joe Biden. “Issues of [migrants’] dignity are foremost in our efforts,” said Alejandro Mayorkas, Biden’s zealously pro-migration chief of the Department of Homeland Security.

According to the Marshall Project’s article:

The Department of Homeland Security “is committed to reviewing the cases of individuals whose removals under the prior administration failed to live up to our highest values,” said Marsha Espinosa, a spokeswoman for the agency. She confirmed officials are developing “a rigorous, systematic approach” to conduct the reviews and “an orderly process” for deported people to present their claims.

The DHS officials say they may cancel deportations for migrants who did not get into the ‘DACA’ work permit program, for foreign-born veterans deported for crimes, for illegal-migrant pro-migration activists, and for migrants who have close relatives who are Americans. The report said:

The reviews will proceed on a painstaking case-by case basis, officials said. At least initially, only a very small fraction — perhaps thousands — of more than 900,000 formal deportations under Trump could be reversed. But eventually, if the review system is effective, many more people could apply.

The returns may be stopped by lawsuits that show Mayorkas is abusing his power to “parole” foreigners into the United States.

This move is just one of many measures that Mayorkas is taking to expand the damaging migration into the United States, even though he is a former immigrant who Americans welcomed at an early age into the United States.

The damage “could be unwitting if they’re idiots, but it’s actively harming Americans and America, and it’s being done at our expense,” said Jenks. “We’re paying Mayorkas’ salary, and we’re paying for all of these people to be brought back into the United States — after we’ve already paid for them to go through a removal process and be removed.”

“How about corporate America pays for some of this?” Jenks added:

They should be paying Mayorkas’ salary since he obviously works for them. They should be paying all of the expenses for all of these people they want to bring back after going through removal proceedings, and they should reimburse us for the removal proceedings.

The GOP will gain by spotlighting Biden’s policies, she said:

I don’t think you need to spin this. You need to just tell people the facts. Americans realize that they’re competing for jobs, they realize that that tight labor market helps their wages and a loose labor market hurts their wages. They realize that there’s a shortage of housing. They realize that the elites don’t give a damn about them. So just tell them the truth.

Polling shows that the GOP’s current, donor-friendly talking points are winning over less than half of the swing voters who dislike Biden’s migration policies.

The Marshall Project’s article spotlights a few sympathetic cases, such as a truck driver whose foreign-born wife is barred from reentry for prior violations of the nation’s border laws. It does not mention the damage inflicted on Americans and their families by the pro-migration progressives.

The pro-migration Marshall Project is part-owned by Laurene Powell Jobs, a billionaire who is spending heavily to expand migration into Americans’ workplaces, neighborhoods, schools, society, and politics.

The push for the return of migrants is being fronted by the National Immigration Law Center, according to the Marshall Project article. The center is run by and for lawyers who gain professionally from greater immigration. But the group’s board also includes representatives from corporations that profit from imported labor and consumers. Those lawyers work for McDonald’s, Boeing, Amazon, Abbott Laboratories, and the Levy food-service company.

The lavishly-funded center opposes criminal penalties for illegal migration, saying, “Migration-related prosecutions are also used to make felons out of long-time U.S. community members for merely violating immigration laws.”

Each year, four million young Americans enter the workforce. They are forced by their government to compete against a growing population of illegal migrants, against one million new legal immigrants, and the resident workforce of roughly two million temporary guest workers.

For many years, a wide variety of pollsters have shown deep and broad opposition to labor migration and the inflow of temporary contract workers into jobs sought by young U.S. graduates.

This opposition is multiracialcross-sexnon-racistclass-basedbipartisanrationalpersistent, and recognizes the solidarity Americans owe to each other.

The voter opposition to elite-backed economic migration coexists with support for legal immigrants and some sympathy for illegal migrants. But only a minority of Americans — mostly leftists — embrace the many skewed polls and articles pushing the 1950’s corporate “Nation of Immigrants” claim.

The deep public opposition to labor migration is built on the widespread recognition that legal immigration, visa workers, and illegal migration undermine democratic self-government, fracture Americans’ society, move money away from Americans’ pocketbooks, and worsen living costs for American families.

Migration moves wealth 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.

Rep. Chip Roy’s Amendment Diverts $5.7B from Transportation Bill to Fund Border Wall

U.S. Representative Chip Roy (R-TX) submitted an amendment to the INVEST in America Act to divert $5.7 billion in member-designated projects, commonly known as earmarks, to establish a border wall fund in the U.S. Treasury.

“Democrats included nearly $5.7 billion in corrupt earmarks in the surface transportation measure that is expected to receive a vote this week in the House,” Congressman Roy said in a written statement. “Instead of using federal taxpayer dollars to fund pet projects like electric vehicle charging networks in California and million-dollar sidewalk expansions in Connecticut, Congress should redirect these funds to address the ongoing and very real crisis at our southern border.”

Roy pointed out that only 771 miles of the nearly 2,000-mile U.S.-Mexico Border are secured by primary and secondary physical barriers.

“Currently, primary and secondary barriers cover only 771 miles of our nearly 2,000-mile border with Mexico, and the Rio Grande Valley sector – the busiest migrant crossing area – is wide open with only 76 miles of border wall to cover the river,” the San Antonio-area congressman added. “My amendment would strike every single earmark from this legislation and instead authorize a $5.7 billion Border Wall Fund in Treasury to support the completion of a border wall on the U.S.-Mexico border.”

In Roy’s amendment to the INVEST in America Act, he proposed, “Obligation authority made available under this paragraph shall remain available until September 30, 2025; and be in addition to the amount of any limitation imposed on obligations for Federal-aid highway and highway safety construction programs for fiscal year 2022 under section 102 or future fiscal years under any other provision of law.”

“There is established a fund in the Treasury to be known as the ‘Border Wall Fund,’” the amendment continues. “Funds provided into the Border Wall Fund may be used for the sole purpose of completing a border wall on the United States Mexico border.”

Congressman Roy’s amendment would strip out the $5.7 billion in congressional earmarks proposed by Democrats and move those funds to the creation of the border wall fund.

On his first day in office, President Joe Biden canceled border wall projects proposed and funded during the Trump administration, Breitbart Texas reported in January. The action taken by the new president killed 5,000 construction jobs, former CBP Acting-Commissioner Mark Morgan said in an exclusive interview.

Breitbart’s Randy Clark, a retired 32-year Border Patrol agent, reported the cost to U.S. taxpayers of Biden’s cancellation of border wall projects is about $6 million per day, according to a confidential source in U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

Panamanian Official: Terrorists Blending With Migrants from Outside Americas Trying to Reach U.S.

Panamanian authorities have detected terrorists trying to blend in with the unprecedented number of migrants from Haiti, Cuba, Africa, Asia, and the Middle East attempting to reach the U.S. and Canada through the Central American country, the country’s top diplomat warned.

Erika Mouynes, the foreign minister in Panama, wrote an article published by Foreign Policy (FP) pleading for help from the U.S., where many of these migrants who escape apprehension intend to go, and the international community, describing the situation as a humanitarian crisis.

The Darien Gap, one of the last untapped tropical forests in the Americas, is a lawless and dense wilderness stretch straddling Colombia and Panama. Some analysts consider the region the most hazardous trail for migrants fleeing war, persecution, and poverty.

Migrants make their way into Panama by entering South America in places with lax visa rules, then make their way to Colombia.

Minister Mouynes urged Latin American countries to take steps to address the growing influx of migration transiting through their territory, first by strengthening their visa requirements background checks, adding:

A vast number of migrants crossing the Darién [jungle] started their journey in South America, arriving through ports of entry in countries where visa requirements are less strict. As a result, members of terrorist organizations and sanctioned parties have found their way into Panama, where they are not permitted to enter in the first place. Panama’s biometric identification measures have recognized and detained individuals linked to extremist groups attempting to pass through the country with migrants.

Second, the nations of the Americas must work collaboratively to control the flow of migration. Since 2016, the governments of Panama and Costa Rica have worked together to put in place a joint policy to secure safe passage of migrants through our territories based on each country’s ability to ensure migrants’ care and safety. Panama has also recently reached an information-sharing agreement with Colombia to monitor the flows of migrants headed for the Darién Gap. Currently, more than 1,000 migrants arrive in Panama every day from Colombia, and only 50 to 100 are allowed to proceed into Costa Rica. Needless to say, the situation is untenable.

On June 3, Bloomberg News learned from Mouynes that the country was struggling to handle a five-fold increase in migrants from Africa, Asia, Cuba, and Haiti, entering the Central American country’s territory illegally through the Darien jungle. Migrants from Haiti and Cuba made up the bulk of the people trying to enter Panama illegally at the time.

It appears the migration flow has intensified in the last few weeks with Mouynes writing for FP:

The problem of uncontrolled migration is not isolated to Texas, California, New Mexico, or Arizona. Farther south, on the Panamanian border, a parallel crisis is unfolding as unprecedented numbers of migrants from Haiti, Cuba, Africa, Asia, and the Middle East attempt to cross the Darién Gap en route to Canada and the United States. The situation here is not a uniquely North American or Panamanian problem. It is an international humanitarian crisis that knows no borders and requires immediate collaboration. Panama, for our part, looks forward to working closely with the Biden administration to formulate an effective policy response.

An increase in illegal migrants entering Panama has served as a warning for a looming wave of people from outside the Americas heading to the U.S.

Mouynes wrote that her government agrees with the Biden administration’s policy to address the root causes of migration that drive people to leave their homes to solve the illegal migration problem, a task the U.S. president has assigned to his Vice President Kamala Harris.

However, the Panamanian official indicated that Harris has been silent about the surge of migrants in her country, potentially including some seeking to cause havoc in the United States.

Referring to VP Harris’s trip to Central America on June 7 and 8, she wrote:

Unfortunately, however, Panama was left off the itinerary of her two-day trip, which included stops in Guatemala and Mexico. This despite the unprecedented number of migrants attempting to cross our border through a treacherous area of jungle known as the Darien Gap.

Members from both parties, the White House, and many voters were dismayed at Harris’s performance during her trip early this month, her first as VP.

The foreign minister warned that the migrant issue would only compound absent any action from the international community, noting that its impact will reach beyond Panama’s borders.

Some critics have blamed President Joe Biden’s lenient border security policies for incentivizing migrants from all over the world to make their way to the U.S.

Migrant Surge Deepens in South Texas Ahead of Trump Border Visit

LA JOYA, Texas — On the eve of a visit and border tour by former President Donald Trump, the crisis is in full swing during the early morning hours in the Rio Grande Valley. Local Border Patrol agents faced a busy period typical for the epicenter of the current migrant surge.

One agent tells Breitbart Texas that more than 100 family unit members were apprehended after surrendering before daybreak. As residents walked around a community park for exercise, groups of single adult migrants could be seen running from a brushy area near the Rio Grande and into the nearby neighborhoods with hopes to elude apprehension.

Apolonio “Polo” Ramon, a lifetime local resident, frequents the park to “get some air” and film the migrant foot traffic in the immediate area. He says it has not been this busy in years.

“It was pretty busy last night … The immigrants were coming out near the park and the Border Patrol was loading them up all night,” Ramon said.

Polo, 70, refers to himself as a citizen observer: “I just come out and videotape whatever I see, my narrations are usually too colorful to be of use, but it helps kill time.”

He spoke for a while about life growing up in Starr County. “We used to run around the river all day in the sun and swim to Mexico just to go visit relatives and attend fiestas.” He says now it is too dangerous to cross due to recent cartel violence. He is sympathetic to the migrants crossing with children. “[They] don’t have a choice whether to cross or not, their parents bring them. That’s who I feel sorry for.”

He worries about the high temperatures and says he heard a migrant may have died from heat a few days before. “We need to do something, this is not good, but I don’t have the answers,” he said in a frustrated tone.

The Rio Grande Valley Sector in Texas leads the nation in apprehensions for migrant and narcotics smuggling. The sector is more than 400% busier than it was last year at the same time. Overall, the Border Patrol is expected to surpass one million migrant apprehensions for this fiscal year when official arrest totals are released in July.
