US to send another $1 billion in weapons to Ukraine

US President Joe Biden will provide an additional $1 billion in weapons shipments to Ukraine Wednesday, more than double the value of the military equipment that the US has sent to Ukraine since the start of the Russia-Ukraine war 20 days ago.

The weapons package, first reported by the Wall Street Journal, will be announced by Biden in a speech on Wednesday, following the address of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to the US Congress.

The new weapons package will include anti-aircraft and anti-tank weapons. It will be funded from the $13.6 billion allotted for Ukraine in the omnibus budget bill Biden signed Tuesday.

Over the weekend, White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said the United States would also consider sending Ukraine anti-aircraft weapons.

Between 2014 and the start of this year, the US had provided $2.5 billion in weapons to Ukraine.

The White House is also considering sending additional troops to Eastern Europe on top of the 15,000 that have been deployed there since the crisis began, the Wall Street Journal reported.

In his address to the US Congress, Zelensky is expected to repeat calls for the United States to establish a “no-fly” zone in Ukraine, which would entail the US and NATO shooting down Russian aircraft. Ahead of Zelensky’s speech, the parliament of Estonia, a NATO member, demanded that NATO set up a no-fly zone over Ukraine.

Zelensky’s appearance is tightly choreographed with calls by members of Congress—including both Republicans and Democrats—for the US to implement actions Russia sees as tantamount to war.

Zelensky spoke to Canada’s parliament Tuesday, demanding, “Please close the sky, close the airspace… Please understand how important it is for us to close our airspace from Russian missiles and Russian aircraft.”

In a preemptive response to Zelensky’s comments, White House spokesperson Jen Psaki said yesterday that Biden “continues to believe that a no-fly zone would be escalatory, could prompt a war with Russia.”

Also on Tuesday, the White House announced that Biden will travel to Brussels, Belgium to take part in the March 24 NATO summit in response to the Russia-Ukraine war.

Ahead of Zelensky’s speech, members of Congress are scrambling over themselves to propose new ways to escalate the conflict.

The US Senate Tuesday unanimously passed a resolution condemning Putin as a war criminal. Democratic Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer declared after the vote, “All of us in this chamber joined together, with Democrats and Republicans, to say that Vladimir Putin cannot escape accountability for the atrocities committed against the Ukrainian people.”

Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal and Republican Senator Marsha Blackburn are planning to introduce a resolution that would sanction all Russian banks, which Blumenthal said would mean “Putin would be unable to collect the revenue, which is the lifeblood, of his oil and gas sales,” and would keep other countries from doing business with Russia.

Blumenthal bragged that if his measures were passed, they would disrupt Russian energy exports to China, declaring, “China could buy the oil, but they couldn’t pay for it.”

In addition to these measures, Zelensky has called on the United States and NATO to close international waterways to Russian ships, implementing an effective blockade of the country—traditionally seen as a wartime measure.

The moves come against the backdrop of major NATO military drills near Russia’s borders. This week, NATO began Cold Response 2022, a series of military exercises in Norway involving 40,000 NATO troops.

Meanwhile, demands for a no-fly zone are escalating in the media and political establishment. On Tuesday, Tom Enders, the former CEO of Airbus and the president of the German Council on Foreign Relations, demanded the US shoot down aircraft over Ukraine.

Enders dismissed the threat of nuclear escalation, declaring, “Would Putin then escalate further and attack NATO countries in the east or the Baltic, even use nuclear weapons? This is still very unlikely, especially since the West would not be attacking Russian territory—only Russian aircraft, cruise missiles and missiles in Ukrainian airspace.”

He concludes, “Establishing such a no-fly zone over western Ukraine is not just feasible; it is necessary. It is time for the West to expose Putin’s nuclear threats for what they really are—a bluff to deter Western governments from military intervention.”

The press is full of such demands for war with Russia, packaged in media-friendly names such as “no-fly zone,” “humanitarian corridor,” and “humanitarian airlift.” Writing in the Washington Post, Joe Scarborough—the son-in-law of US military strategist Zbigniew Brzezinski—declared that it is “time for NATO to stop being reactive to Putin’s ever-changing definition of what constitutes an act of war… Biden should change the dynamic by employing his own disruptive tactics.”

Scarborough concluded by demanding that the US create “humanitarian safe zones”—over which the United States and its allies could shoot down Russian aircraft.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky Plans to Ask Congress for More Military Equipment

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is planning to “name and shame” the West for not doing enough to help Ukraine and will ask for more weapons in his virtual address to U.S. lawmakers on Wednesday, according to reports.

Politico Playbook reported Tuesday morning:

On Wednesday, Zelenskyy will speak to Congress virtually. According to one person with knowledge of the address, he plans “to name and shame,” meaning excoriating the West for not doing enough to defend his country, though he will balance his remarks with some gratitude for what has been provided.

Zelensky asked to speak to Congress, according to the Wall Street Journal. His remarks will be held via a remote connection in an auditorium inside the Capitol and broadcast on TV. He has previously spoken to members of Congress privately, convincing U.S. lawmakers to push for more military aid to Ukraine.

According to Politico, Zelensky wants advanced air defense weapons, airplanes from Poland, and a no-fly zone.

So far, President Joe Biden and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) have remained opposed to a no-fly zone over Ukraine, arguing it would mean World War III. Pelosi said on Monday, echoing Biden, “If we were to shoot down Russian planes, it would be the beginning of World War III.”

The Biden Administration has so far opposed facilitating the transfer of Polish aircraft to Ukraine, arguing it could  draw NATO into the war. Poland is a NATO member on the border of Ukraine, and the administration has sworn it would defend fellow NATO members and NATO territory.

However, a group of Senate Republicans and some Democrats are pushing for the Biden Administration to facilitate the transfer of Polish aircraft to Ukraine, and Zelensky is still pushing aggressively for the planes.

According to the Daily Mail, “In his remarks on Wednesday, Zelensky is expected to bring the same Winston Churchill tone that he used when he spoke to British lawmakers last week as he looks to leverage his public goodwill with the assistance he wants from Congress.”

Congress last week passed $13.6 billion in humanitarian and military aid for Ukraine. Half will go to humanitarian aid, and half will go to military aid. Of the military aid, roughly half will go to replenish Pentagon stocks transferred to Ukraine, and half will go towards more equipment.

On Tuesday, the Pentagon said that equipment may include anti-air capability, anti-armor capability, small arms and ammunition, tactical gear, Meals Ready to Eat, and military medical equipment.

The additional aid is on top of $1 billion in military assistance that has been delivered to Ukraine over the past year, according to the Pentagon.

EAGLE PASS, Texas — The State acquired a large quantity of 30-foot wall panels from the Biden Administration to utilize in the construction of a border wall. The materials came from federal contracts cancelled in January 2021.

“Texas is the first state ever to build a border wall,” Governor Abbott began in an exclusive interview. “A lot of the border wall is being built by border wall material that there was a contract for, Texas bought it from contractors who built the wall for President Trump. We’re building the exact same wall.”

“In addition, a lot of people saw on TV a lot of these border wall components like this that were just laying on the ground, that taxpayers had paid for,” the governor added. “Biden chose not to build the wall.”

“We found a way, by going through the surplus program of the federal government where Texas would be able to obtain these border wall panels and we obtained as much as we could, until Biden found out about it,” Abbott explained. “He put a stop to Texas being able to get it. There may be some other ways that we will be able to get more.”

The stacks of panels appeared to cover more than an acre of the land.

The governor explained the first parts of the Texas project were built on state-owned land. The new sections are scheduled to be built on parcels provided by ranch owners.

“Texas is not having to use eminent domain,” Abbott explained. “People who own property on the border are so angry against the Biden administration, so frustrated by the chaos and the crime created on their own property, they are giving us an easement to build the border wall.”

Because of getting both the materials and land without cost to Texas taxpayers, “Texas is able to build the wall at a faster pace and a lower cost than even what President Trump could do.”

“The bottom line is the border wall panels that Biden was allowing to lay on the ground will be up and protecting and securing the Great State of Texas,” he continued.

This is the first part of an exclusive interview with Governor Abbott. Watch the full interview below.

Illegal Southwest Border Crossings Surge to 158K in February

U.S. Border Patrol/Tucson Sector

Migrant apprehensions in February jumped to nearly 160,000 after declining one month earlier.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials announced on Tuesday that Border Patrol agents apprehended 158,132 migrants who illegally crossed the border between ports of entry, according to CBP’s Southwest Land Border Encounters report. The apprehensions represent an increase over the previous year’s February report when agents apprehended only 97,643 migrants, the largest number of migrants apprehended in February since 2000.

So far this fiscal year, which began on October 1, 2021, Border Patrol agents apprehended 802,638 migrants along the nine southwest border sectors. This is up from 382,000 apprehended during the same period in FY21. This represents an increase of nearly 110 percent in year-to-date comparisons.

The February apprehensions included 121,296 single adults, 25,023 family units, and 11,810 unaccompanied minors, the report states.

The Rio Grande Valley Sector recaptured its position as the busiest sector in the nation with the apprehension of 33,838 migrants. These included 20,622 single adults (up 51 percent from last year), 7,483 Family Units (down nearly 31 percent from last year), and 5,743 Unaccompanied Minors (up 46 percent from last year), the report details.

The Del Rio Sector slipped back into second place with the arrest of 30,480 migrants in February. These arrests included 24,523 single adults (up 199 percent), 4,962 Family Units (up 117 percent), and 995 Unaccompanied Minors (up 67 percent).

Of the nine southwest border sectors, only the Big Bend Sector saw a decrease in February apprehensions. Only the Laredo Sector experienced a decrease in year-to-date apprehensions.

The Yuma Sector in Arizona experienced the largest percentage increase in February where the number jumped from only 5,128 migrants apprehended in February 2021 to 20,329 in February 2022 — an increase of nearly 300 percent. Year-to-date apprehensions in Yuma skyrocketed by nearly 1,122 percent (9,732 in the first five months of FY 2021 to 118,887 during the same period in FY2022). Family units make up the largest part of the increase where the apprehensions jumped by 1,717 percent.

Newly appointed CBP Commissioner Chris Magnus issued a statement on his agency’s February 2022 Operational Update. He said February “registered a slight uptick in the number of encounters along the Southwest border, with most individuals arriving from Mexico and the Northern Triangle, and the majority of noncitizens expelled under Title 42.”

Officials reported that 53,079 of the 158,132 migrants apprehended by Border Patrol agents in February came from countries other than Mexico and the Northern Triangle nations. Just over 89,000 migrants were expelled under the Title 42 coronavirus protection protocol put in place by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Currently, the Chamber is lobbying lawmakers in Washington, D.C. and President Joe Biden’s administration to artificially inflate the U.S. labor market by doubling legal immigration levels — providing big business with a never-ending flow of cheaper, foreign workers to hire rather than pulling millions of jobless Americans off the sidelines.

At the same time, hundreds of thousands of border crossers and illegal aliens are being released into the U.S. interior every few months. From January 2021 to August 2021, for example, more than half a million were released into the U.S. interior.

In January of this year, more than 62,500 border crossers and illegal aliens were released into the U.S. interior — a foreign population more than twice the size of Princeton, New Jersey; nearly twice the size of Lexington, Massachusetts; and more than six times the size of Jackson, Wyoming.

J.D. Vance Snubs Chamber of Commerce as Other Senate GOP Candidates Vie for Support

Republican J.D. Vance, the New York Times best-selling author running for Senate in Ohio, is openly snubbing the United States Chamber of Commerce as his GOP primary opponents compete for the group’s support.

The Ohio Chamber of Commerce, an affiliate of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, invited all of the state’s Senate candidates to join them for interviews about business-related issues. Republican candidates Josh Mandel, Jane Timken, Mike Gibbons, and Matt Dolan took the Chamber up on the offer as well as likely Democrat nominee Rep. Tim Ryan (D-OH).

Timken has accepted about $1,000 in campaign donations from local Chamber of Commerce groups, while the Ohio Chamber has previously backed Dolan in his state Senate races.

Vance, on the other hand, snubbed the Ohio Chamber and did not sit down with executives for a candidate interview. The Chamber, as Breitbart News has chronicled for years, backs huge increases to legal immigration levels, amnesty for illegal aliens, U.S. free trade with China, and outsourcing American manufacturing to foreign countries.

Currently, the Chamber is lobbying lawmakers in Washington, D.C. and President Joe Biden’s administration to artificially inflate the U.S. labor market by doubling legal immigration levels — providing big business with a never-ending flow of cheaper, foreign workers to hire rather than pulling millions of jobless Americans off the sidelines.

Such flooded labor markets from mass legal immigration to the U.S. have had a devastating impact on the nation’s working and middle class, while redistributing billions in wealth to the highest earners, big businesses, real estate investors, and Wall Street, as well as driving capital out of small communities to the coasts.

Vance is campaigning on reducing legal immigration levels to boost U.S. wages and job opportunities for Americans, cracking down on illegal immigration at the U.S.-Mexico border, and opposing amnesty for illegal aliens.

The Chamber, like other corporate special interest groups, has long opposed tariffs on foreign imports and has lobbied against decoupling the American economy from China. Instead, the Chamber has lobbied Biden to return the U.S. to the job-killing free trade consensus.

From 2001 t0 2018, for instance, the U.S.-China trade deficit — which the Chamber has called a “sign of economic good health” — has eliminated 3.7 million American jobs. Most recently, the Chamber is celebrating the U.S.-South Korea free trade agreement known as KORUS that has eliminated at least 95,000 American jobs from 2012 to 2016.

Vance remains a fierce proponent of tariffs on foreign imports to punish U.S. companies that outsource American working and middle class jobs to China, India, and other nations.

The Ohio Republican Senate primary is set for May 3.

THERE IS NO GREATER DANGER TO AMERICA THAN BRIBES SUCKING LYING GAMER LAWYER JOE BIDEN!

Exclusive — Trump-Backed Sen. John Boozman: ‘We’ve Got to Hold Employers Accountable’ for Hiring Illegal Aliens

Sen. John Boozman (R-AR), who is endorsed by former President Donald Trump in his reelection bid this year, told Breitbart News on Saturday that he believes the United States needs to “beef up” the E-Verify system and “make that mandatory.”

“We need to do a couple things: We need to beef up the E-Verify system and make that mandatory,” Boozman said. “We need to make it such that we do hold employers accountable — they don’t need to be the immigration agents. But certainly, keep the Remain in Mexico policy. And so importantly, we need to announce to the world that we’re back to keeping folks out that don’t belong here, and securing the border, and making it such that it’s going to be very difficult if you try.”

Boozman’s comments came during an in-depth interview on Breitbart News Saturday on SiriusXM 125 the Patriot Channel, during which he recounted his history of leading on the issue of immigration. Way back in April 2013, before many other senators had even taken a position on the then-forthcoming “Gang of Eight” amnesty plan, Boozman publicly came out against the proposal, and his office told Breitbart News he was opposed to it. His public opposition — he was joined in those early days by just a handful of others — ran counter to the conventional wisdom and career political class in Washington, DC.

The Republican National Committee (RNC) had just published an “autopsy” of the 2012 election, surmising that failed presidential candidate Mitt Romney lost the 2012 election because Republicans needed to support open borders immigration policies. Romney is now a U.S. Senator from Utah but, then, was the former governor of Massachusetts and 2012 GOP presidential nominee who had just lost to now-former President Barack Obama, a Democrat, the year before. Republicans were desperate to figure out a path forward, and many embraced the push for amnesty, which culminated in the Gang of Eight amnesty bill — which later passed the U.S. Senate with 14 GOP votes.

But, despite eventually getting it through the then-Democrat-controlled U.S. Senate, the bill never got consideration in the GOP-controlled U.S. House. Therefore, the legislation died and amnesty was not enacted into federal law in 2013 or 2014 — and that is, in large part, thanks to the few courageous voices like Boozman who fought it in the lead-up to Trump’s rise into the White House.

“My thing is amnesty rewards behavior that you don’t want,” Boozman told Breitbart News when asked why he came out in opposition to the plan then. “It was kind of like, ‘let’s do amnesty and then we’ll secure the border at a later date or promise to do this.’ That’s essentially what happened with President Reagan. He got snookered into the same thing where you have the amnesty provision going forward, but the border never gets secured. If you don’t secure the border, then you’re right back in the same situation.”

Boozman’s opposition to the Gang of Eight amnesty plan — along with work by then-Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) and Sens. Mike Lee (R-UT), Ted Cruz (R-TX), and Rand Paul (R-KY) to fight it as well as pushes from many House members like then-Rep. Tom Cotton (R-AR), now a U.S. Senator from Arkansas — helped sink the plan. That led to Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign, when the now-former president shattered the political consultant vision of open borders by openly campaigning for a wall along the U.S. border and strict immigration enforcement.

Trump’s electoral success in 2016, and later his policy successes aimed at curbing illegal immigration — he nearly finished building the wall in his first term and significantly slowed the flow of illegal immigration through things like the Remain in Mexico policy and the Migrant Protection Protocols more broadly — proved politically popular as well. Republicans party-wide have generally, with rare exception, embraced that vision that Trump championed and was first laid out by those few voices fighting the Gang of Eight amnesty plan back in the day. Of those 14 Republicans who voted for the Gang of Eight amnesty, nine are no longer in the U.S. Senate just nine years later — and only five remain. Of those remaining five, it is safe to say at least two, probably three, of them would never vote for that bill again — and maybe the other two would reconsider as well.

“So, for many, many reasons, I was adamantly opposed [to the Gang of Eight] and you’re right — it has moved in the right direction,” Boozman said. “President Trump not only campaigned on it, but unlike so many others, he actually did something about it. When he got to office, he looked at the areas that needed to be beefed up on the border through additional fencing and electronic sensors and did a good job of that. And he instituted the Remain in Mexico policy so that, if you were seeking asylum, you knew you weren’t going to be in the United States waiting for the backlog of hundreds and hundreds of thousands of people and, again, allowing you to be here without any problem.”

To this day, Boozman continues to champion the voices of Americans forgotten by the political elites on immigration policy. He recently released a campaign ad in which a family member of someone killed years ago by an illegal alien — an Angel Family — endorsed his reelection. Asked about why he focuses on this side of the issue, Boozman told Breitbart News that it humanizes victims of crimes that should not happen.

“It’s one thing if you say it, it’s another thing if I say it in the situations where we’re at, but when you’ve got a lady who’s so compelling and just tells her story and the tragedy that fell upon her family,” Boozman said. “This simply didn’t need to happen. That’s something that does grip the hearts of the American public and really does humanize — we can look at statistics, we can talk about two million people, we can talk about crimes committed. Certainly, everybody that comes over here doesn’t commit crimes, but you get in a situation now where the Biden administration is so crazy in the sense that they won’t deport anybody. Her message is compelling; I think it puts a real face on what we’re facing. Because of that, it’s something that the average person can relate to, and it’s something I think is very effective in telling the message.”

WATCH SEN. JOHN BOOZMAN’S (R-AR) CAMPAIGN AD:

Since President Joe Biden, another Democrat, came to the White House, he has undone much of Trump’s popular and effective immigration crackdown measures — which Boozman said has effectively rolled out the red carpet to the rest of the world’s migrants to come here.

“The other thing that was so important was he [Trump] essentially said to the world, ‘look, the border is closed and we’re going to do everything we can to protect our border,’ unlike President Biden when he got in, when he got rid of the Remain in Mexico policy and essentially said, ‘come on down, and if you can get here, you’re welcome to stay,’” Boozman said. “So, it’s a tremendous difference in approach, but as a result right now, there were two million people last year and we’re on track to be in that direction this year. If you’re apprehending two million people, there’s no telling how many people in addition to that get through because there’s a lot of people getting through because the Border Patrol agents are so busy taking care of unaccompanied minors and all those kinds of things. So, the other thing too — I’ve been to the border so many times, these are good people down there. They’re working so hard and they’re discouraged. When they had the listening sessions with the brass down from Homeland Security, they booed them and they got in shouting matches. They’re as discouraged as the rest of us. We could talk about all the crazy things they’re doing now too. $450,000 per illegal immigrant? The idea they can use their arrest warrants as documents to allow them to fly? You can’t make this stuff up.”

In GOP primaries from coast to coast this year, voters continually say they are looking for fighters — and, more importantly, candidates of their word. It’s moments like the Gang of Eight plan push that truly test whether a senator is with the voters who sent them to office or whether they will cave to special interests lobbying for problem-laden legislative proposals like that. Asked about this pressure, Boozman said the calculation is very simple for him.

“I was under a lot of pressure, just like you come under pressure, but my guiding thing — and I campaigned on this, and I actually do what President Trump did, which is when I campaigned on something, I do follow through,” Boozman said. “This is a national security issue. It was then. It is now. But my things were: You need to secure the border — No amnesty. English as the official language. These are simple things, simple truths, that we simply have to do and we didn’t do, so we’re in the situation we are now. The other thing we have to remember is the border is secure — on the Mexican side — because the cartels know everybody that crosses, and if you don’t pay them a portion, you don’t get across. That’s my thing is this is a very, very important issue. It was important to the people of Arkansas back then and it is now. It truly is a national security issue. We were able to ultimately prevail, but as you say, it was a very difficult time for a while. You talk about these things, and as you said, the facts weren’t really out. You get the facts out and you explain to people the ramifications of this and that’s how you prevent bad things from happening. I think you get judged on two things — your work, and there’s some things we need to get done, and then, very importantly, we need to keep bad things from happening. That’s particularly important with this administration.”

Trump clearly recognized in Boozman someone who was ideologically aligned and willing to fight for these priorities as Boozman was one of if not the first major endorsement he made in the 2022 cycle. On March 8, 2021, more than 15 months before Boozman’s primary, Trump endorsed the Arkansas senator, saying in a statement that Boozman is “a great fighter for the people of Arkansas.”

“He is tough on Crime, strong on the Border, a great supporter of our Military and our Vets, and fights for our farmers every day,” Trump said of Boozman. “He supports our Second Amendment and has my Complete and Total Endorsement!”

When Biden came into the White House, he almost immediately undid everything Trump had in place and, as a result, more than two million migrants have streamed into the United States since he took the Oath of Office. Boozman thinks the solution is very simple: Reimplement Trump’s policies and crack down on employers hiring illegal aliens.

“Biden did all of the things you said and then the other thing was he essentially said to the world, ‘come on over because we’re not doing these things and it’s very easy to get into the United States,’” Boozman said. “We have to reinstate those policies that President Trump used very, very effectively. The Remain in Mexico policy, that was a new thing. He pressured the Mexican government into cooperating. We’re a great country; we’ve got levers we can pull to make people cooperate. He did that and it made a huge difference. So we’ve got to do those things, and again at some point, we’ve got to hold employers accountable. If the work is not here, if they don’t have jobs, then they’re not going to come. The other side of this, for those that are trying to take care of their families, that are impoverished in the rest of the world, you can certainly understand why they want to be here, but we are a nation of laws. You have to do this right. The people that resent this the most are the people that worked through the system, did everything right, and it might have taken five or ten years to work through the process. But again, I think that’s how you do it: Hold employers accountable and then no amnesty, and kind of go down that path.”

Not only is the Trump vision for immigration good policy, Boozman says, but it is also good politics for Republicans. Republicans have made historic gains in recent elections, not just with white working-class voters but also with key minority groups like Hispanic and black voters — and all signs point to continued GOP growth in those communities as a result of this America First vision. In fact, a Wall Street Journal survey published last week shows the GOP leading Democrats by nine percent with Hispanic voters and more than doubling support in the black community since late last year as well.

“I agree totally — if you look at President Trump’s policies, you had the best economy in 50 years,” Boozman said. “Lowering regulations, lowering taxes, real growth in wages amongst the groups that you’re talking about, and real growth in employment. That’s what everyone wants. If you don’t have a job, if you can’t make a living wage, everything else is pretty unimportant. He did a tremendous job, and we’re seeing the contrast in that now with the mess we’re in regarding this horrific inflation and a poor economy. What they want to do now is just add gasoline to the flames with this massive spending bill — which I think this is what killed it with the help of the American people, but on the other hand, it just still won’t go away. You’re right, these policies are simple truths. They work and really do produce good results.”

Watch: Mo Brooks Shows Illegal Aliens Being ‘Welcomed’ at Southern Border

Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL), running for Alabama’s open Senate seat, visited the United States-Mexico border, where he says he witnessed border crossers and illegal aliens being “welcomed” with “freebies” by President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

During a visit to the Yuma, Arizona, sector of the border, Brooks said he watched as border crossers and illegal aliens streamed into the U.S. “without any inhibition — no fear whatsoever.”

“Why? Because they are welcomed, welcomed as soon as you come to the southern border,” Brooks said, noting that the border wall in the region remains unfinished.

“My visit to Yuma, Arizona’s U.S.-Mexico border confirms what all informed Americans know: there is no limit to the freebies the Biden Administration hands out as it encourages tsunami after tsunami of illegal aliens,” Brooks said in a statement:

Every American should be angered by the lies the Biden Administration propagates as it tries to fool the American people into believing America has operational security of our own border. In a word, what I saw was sickening. Illegal aliens ran to waiting Border Patrol agents and transportation rather than running away. [Emphasis added]

The Biden Administration’s total failure at the Southern Border contributes to roughly 2,000 Americans killed each year— dead at the hands of illegal aliens; 30,000+ Americans dead each year from overdoses on deadly narcotics smuggled through our porous southern border; blue collar Americans suffering job losses and roughly $2,500 in wage suppression due to artificial labor supply surges; and over $130 billion per year in net tax losses as illegal aliens and their families consume far more in taxes than they contribute. [Emphasis added]

This week, Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) blasted Biden for doing “nothing” to stop illegal immigration and drug trafficking into American communities along the border.

In 2021, more than two million border crossers and illegal aliens arrived at the southern border. This year, experts predict more than 2.1 million will arrive.

At the same time, hundreds of thousands of border crossers and illegal aliens are being released into the U.S. interior every few months. From January 2021 to August 2021, for example, more than half a million were released into the U.S. interior.

In January of this year, more than 62,500 border crossers and illegal aliens were released into the U.S. interior — a foreign population more than twice the size of Princeton, New Jersey; nearly twice the size of Lexington, Massachusetts; and more than six times the size of Jackson, Wyoming.
