Camo-Clad Migrants Found Hiding in Arizona Desert near Border
Tucson Sector Border Patrol agents rescued two separate groups of migrants from the desert. Both groups wore camouflage in an attempt to avoid detection.
A helicopter aircrew located two camo-wearing migrants near Sells, Arizona, last week after they called 911 for assistance, according to a tweet from Tucson Sector Chief Patrol Agent John R. Modlin. The aircrew guided Tucson Sector Border Search, Trauma, and Rescue (BORSTAR) agents to the location.
The agents identified the distressed agents as adult males but did not report their nationalities. The agents took the migrants into custody and provided medical assistance as required.

Chief Modlin also tweeted a photo of a group of camo-wearing migrants found by Nogales Station agents, a helicopter aircrew, and a K-9 team. The chief reported that the agents found the migrants deep in the mountains west of Tubac, Arizona.
The agents identified the 13 migrants as citizens of Guatemala and Mexico. Modlin stated the croup wore camouflage to avoid detection.
Douglas Station agents also arrested a dangerous criminal alien after he illegally re-entered the U.S. as a previously deported felon.
Agents arrested Cesar Tlasmanteco-Vasquez near Douglas, Arizona, last week, the chief stated. A court in Washington County, Utah, convicted the man on a charge of “patronizing a prostitute-involving a child.”
Tlasmanteco-Vasquez now faces a federal felony charge of illegal re-entry after removal as a convicted felon. If convicted, he could face up to 20 years in federal prison.
Militias down Mexico way
Mexico is rather violent these days, from torching vehicles to killing journalists. So is anyone surprised that local groups would arm to protect their farms and families?
Let's check this story from Jessica Guerrero and "Pueblos Unidos" loosely translated to “United Communities.” It is the natural consequence of lawlessness when people cannot count on their government to protect them.
This is the story:
During the last two weeks, the country has faced a serious security crisis, after several violent incidents took place across cities located in the states of Baja California, Chihuahua and Guanajuato, where different organized crime groups directly attacked civilians and set fires to dozens of businesses and private vehicles.
The aforementioned resulted, in the first instance, in million-peso losses for the owners of the affected businesses and vehicle owners, but more importantly, at least 14 fatalities were recorded, including a child.
…on Saturday, Aug. 13, agents of the Mexican Army, the National Guard and the Civil Guard deployed an operation that included armored vehicles to achieve the arrest of 167 armed men on the Siglo XXI highway that connects the state capital, Morelia, with the narco-infested region of Tierra Caliente and the port of Lázaro Cárdenas.
According to the authorities, after an exhaustive intelligence operation of their forces, they were able to arrest these armed men after they were seen traveling in 28 vehicles near the municipality of Uruapan. The people in those vehicles carried badges and stickers that identified them as members of the Pueblos Unidos criminal group.
Pueblos Unidos is a vigilante organization that emerged in 2021, allegedly composed of farmers and community members from the avocado-producing region in central Michoacán.
According to its founders, its main objective was to defend the local farmers against the continuous extortions and threats of the cartels. However, the organization has been accused of collaborating with the Carteles Unidos criminal group, becoming a major concern to the authorities by presumably threatening the state’s security situation.
The group has a Facebook page, with the latest news and videos. It's a sign of the times I guess for everyone to go on social media these days. "Pueblos Unidos" is heavily armed and has run into problems with the authorities. The locals responded to the arrest of some of Pueblos Unidos' members by blocking highways. They believe that their members were wrongly arrested and blamed the government directly. Eventually, the roads were reopened but the locals made their point.
What I see from up here is a perfect storm. I am not defending everything that Pueblos Unidos is doing or allegations that they may be working with criminal elements. The relationship with another cartel may explain why they pose with those high-powered rifles. Nevertheless, I understand why groups like these are created and supported by the local "pueblos." People are scared and do not trust their government to protect them.
What is the solution? The Lopez-Obrador government must admit that violence is out of control and will use all means necessary to eradicate the problem, from taking the fight directly to the cartels to persuading the locals that they will protect them from this wave of violence. It would help if President Lopez-Obrador would use one of his morning press conferences to outline how President Biden's chaos on the border is making all this violence more likely in Mexico.

Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick: Democrats have no heart or brain
Joe Biden’s Border Chief Complains About Governor Abbott’s Migrant Buses
President Joe Biden’s border chief is complaining about Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s strategy of publicly busing thousands of migrants to Democrat-run cities.
“That lack of coordination wreaks problems in our very efficient processing,” Biden’s border chief told CNN on Thursday. The Cuban-born, pro-migration border chief is Alejandro Mayorkas, and he continued:
These cities have certain capacities …They have the infrastructure to address the needs of migrants, and we need to calibrate the movement of people, according to their capacity and their efficiencies. And that is not being done.
Since 2021, Mayorkas has been using taxpayers’ funding to process economic migrants into a nationwide, multi-city network of nonprofits, legal firms, and transport networks. The network then quickly and quietly moves the migrants from the border to housing and jobs throughout the nation. The New York Times reported on August 20:
“We know their shoe sizes, we know their medical needs, we know their court cases, where their ICE check-ins are,” said Sergio Tupac Uzurin, a volunteer with NYC ICE Watch. “The city wasn’t doing any of that.”
The welcome centers are staffed partly by the city and partly by nonprofits, including Team TLC NYC and Masbia, that provide food, clothing, and other aid.
The money to fund this smuggling network — which includes nighttime flights of migrants into American cities — is pulled from myriad government accounts, including accounts allocated for other tasks by Congress.
So far, Mayorkas and his partners have quietly moved roughly three million people — including roughly one million people who sneaked across the border — to jobs, homes, and government aid throughout the United States.
The rapid distribution network is intended to minimize public awareness of migration, largely by minimizing media coverage of the huge population movement.
Even when invisible on TV, the migration’s massive labor shock is helping to reduce wages for ordinary Americans — and also to spike inflation in housing and auto prices.
But the Abbot disruption has forced the pro-migration corporate media in New York and D.C. to publicize the damaging inflow of migrants — and the taxpayer funding that Democrats are lavishing on migrants instead of on Americans.
“Most of America has not really understood the magnitude of the problem that we have on the border until we started sending these buses up to New York,” Abbott told Fox News adding:
This is not a Texas problem. This is an American problem caused by the President of the United States of America. And so many people have been blind to this until suddenly buses of migrants started showing up in their city, which is a sanctuary city, by the way.
In New York, pro-migration advocates are calling for another $50 million to be spent integrating the illegal economic migrants into the city, despite the need of local Americans for better-paid jobs and cheaper housing:
The New York Immigration Coalition Welcoming New York Campaign is an effort to ensure that every asylum seeker who makes it to New York has the services, shelter, and care that they need to not only survive but thrive — and that we use this opportunity to demonstrate to the rest of the country that welcoming immigrants helps strengthen New York.
The group also wants the city to rejig local laws in favor of the migrants, saying the city government must:
Ensure access to child care for all newly arrived immigrantsFund community-based organizations to do targeted outreach to newly arrived families to ensure all eligible children are able to access these vouchers
Allow for the current $10M of funding to rollover into the next session to ensure that child care vouchers are accessible to families arriving at all points during the school year and into the summer
Eliminate the cap on street vending licenses and permits to provide opportunities for newly arrived immigrant entrepreneurs to thrive
Remove the NYPD for their duties of enforcement of [street] vendors
“In Washington, D.C., meanwhile, Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton is asking for an additional $50 million for the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s Emergency Food and Shelter Program to handle the migrant influx from Texas and Arizona,’ Fox reported on August 24.
Extraction Migration
It is easier for government officials to grow the economy by immigration than by growing exports, productivity, or the birth rate.
So Washington D.C. deliberately extracts millions of migrants from poor countries and uses them as workers, consumers, and renters.
This extraction migration policy both grows and skews the national economy. It prevents tight labor markets and so it shifts vast wealth from ordinary people to investors, billionaires, and Wall Street. It makes it difficult for ordinary Americans to advance in their careers, get married, raise families, or buy homes.
Extraction Migration slows innovation and shrinks Americans’ productivity, partly because it allows employers to boost stock prices by using stoop labor and disposable workers instead of the American professionals and productivity-boosting technology that would allow Americans to earn more money.
This migration policy also reduces exports by minimizing shareholder pressure on U.S. companies to build up beneficial and complementary trade with people in poor countries.
Migration undermines employees’ workplace rights, and it widens the regional economic gaps between the Democrats’ cheap-labor coastal states and the Republicans’ heartland and southern states.
An economy fueled by extraction migration also drains Americans’ political clout over elites, alienates young people, and radicalizes Americans’ democratic civic culture because it gives an excuse for wealthy elites and progressives to ignore despairing Americans at the bottom of society.
This economic strategy is enthusiastically pushed by progressives who wish to transform the U.S. from a society governed by European-origin civic culture into a progressive-directed empire of competitive, resentful identity groups. “We’re trying to become the first multiracial, multi-ethnic superpower in the world,” Rep. Rohit Khanna (D-CA) told the New York Times in March 2022. “It will be an extraordinary achievement … We will ultimately triumph,” he boasted.
But the progressives’ colonialism-like economic strategy kills many migrants. It exploits the poverty of migrants and splits foreign families as it extracts human resources from poor home countries to serve wealthy U.S. investors.
Progressives hide this extraction migration economic policy behind a wide variety of noble-sounding explanations and theatrical border security programs. Progressives claim the U.S. is a “Nation of Immigrants,” that migration helps migrants, and that the state must renew itself by replacing populations.
Similarly, establishment Republicans, media businesses, and major GOP donors hide the skew towards investors by ignoring the pocketbook impact and by touting border chaos, welfare spending, migrant crime, and drug smuggling.
Many polls show the public wants to welcome some immigration. But the polls also show deep and broad public opposition to labor migration and the inflow of temporary contract workers into jobs needed by young U.S. graduates.
This “Third Rail” opposition is growing, anti-establishment, multiracial, cross-sex, non-racist, class-based, bipartisan, rational, persistent, and recognizes the solidarity that American citizens owe to one another.
JOE BIDEN = ILLEGALS FIRST!
Exclusive–Bombshell Emails Reveal Biden’s DHS Still Knowingly Releasing COVID-Positive Border Crossers into U.S.
Internal emails at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), exclusively reviewed by Breitbart News, reveal that the agency is continuing to knowingly release COVID-positive border crossers and illegal aliens into the United States.
More than a year after Biden’s DHS was first accused of releasing COVID-positive border crossers and illegal aliens into the U.S. interior as part of its expansive catch and release operation, the agency is still knowingly carrying out such releases.
The internal emails among Border Patrol (BP) officials reveal recent instances where border crossers and illegal aliens were tested for the Chinese coronavirus and, after having tested positive, were released into the state of Arizona.
On July 26, five female border crossers — at least some of which were COVID-positive — were transported on a bus from DHS custody to the Monte Vista Church, an email shows:
Please ensure that you will take all of the required precautions, including wearing masks, gloves, hand sanitizer, and any other personal protective equipment (PPE) that you think essential. [Emphasis added]
This bus will be transported directly to the NGO and will not be stopping at PHO ERO, they will already be served by Yuma BP due to being COVID+. [Emphasis added]
Sources close to Breitbart News said Biden’s DHS is actually not deporting border crossers and illegal aliens when they test positive for coronavirus.
In one of those cases, a husband and wife had been taken into DHS custody after crossing the U.S.-Mexico border. The wife tested positive for coronavirus while her husband tested negative. As a result, despite both being eligible for Title 42 removal, the COVID-positive wife was allowed to stay in the U.S. while her COVID-negative husband was deported.
In a statement to Breitbart News, a Customs and Border Protection (CBP) spokesperson said the agency “provides migrants with PPE from the moment they are taken into custody, and migrants are required to keep masks on at all times, including when they are transferred or in the process of being released.”
The spokesperson continued:
If anyone exhibits signs of illness in CBP custody, they are referred to local health systems for appropriate testing, diagnosis, and treatment. CBP takes its responsibility to prevent the spread of communicable diseases very seriously. We value our partners in local communities whose work is critical to moving individuals safely out of CBP/USBP custody and through the appropriate immigration pathway.
The revelation comes after Biden and his top DHS officials fended off questions last year about the agency’s seemingly common practice of releasing COVID-positive border crossers and illegal aliens into American communities.
In August of last year, Former Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Commissioner Mark Morgan estimated that in Biden’s first six months as president, his DHS had potentially released some 40,000 COVID-positive border crossers and illegal aliens into the U.S. interior.
At the time, Biden’s DHS was forced to admit in federal court that there had been “significantly increased rates” of COVID-positive border crossers and illegal aliens arriving at the southern border.
“The rates at which encountered noncitizens are testing positive for COVID-19 have increased significantly in recent weeks … this has led to increasing numbers of CBP personnel being isolated and hospitalized,” DHS’s David Shahoulian admitted in the August 2021 court brief.
From February 2021 to May 2022, more than a million border crossers and illegal aliens have been released into American communities by the Biden administration. Release figures for June and July have not yet been disclosed.

FNC’s Steve Doocy: Biden Held a Packed Rally to Tout Loan Plan He Used COVID Emergency to Legally Justify
On Friday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends,” co-host Steve Doocy said that the Biden administration has a selective view of the severity of the coronavirus because the administration argued the pandemic is an emergency that justifies the president’s loan program and then held a packed rally in Maryland.
Doocy stated, “The Heroes Act is the justification by the Department of Education, according to the secretary of Education, that they’re using. The Heroes Act, in 2003, was to help men and women who served in Afghanistan and Iraq when we were fighting two wars. And so, then, after that, Donald Trump was — said, you know what, we’re in a time of emergency with the pandemic, we’ll use it at that point. The Biden administration, half the time they’re saying there is no COVID to worry about for the most part. But then, yesterday, they said it’s an emergency, regarding COVID. And last night, the president was up in Rockville, MD, not too far from where you’re sitting, and there were thousands of people sitting six inches from each other, clearly no COVID standards there. So, COVID is over if it’s convenient for Joe’s victory tour.”
Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) remarked, “Yeah, but it’s not over if it’s not convenient for his political goals.”
