NYTimes: DHS Mayorkas Demands Control over Migrant Transports
The nation’s pro-migration border chief wants a bigger fleet of buses and aircraft to quietly control the delivery of many economic migrants to their preferred cities, according to the New York Times.
The demand comes from Cuban-born Alejandra Mayorkas, the pro-migration zealot who runs the Department of Homeland Security for President Joe Biden.
His plan was revealed amid the establishment media’s uproar over two GOP governors’ public transport of illegal migrants to the Vice President’s House in Washington, DC, and to the elite island resort of Martha’s Vinyard, off Massachusetts.
Mayorkas’ busing plan would block those dramatic GOP drop-offs by corraling the migrants under federal supervision until they are delivered to their preferred cities by agency-controlled buses and aircraft.
The New York Times reported Mayorkas’ closed-door demand:
[Mayorkas’] Homeland Security Department has been pressing the White House for months to adopt a plan that would allow Immigration and Customs Enforcement to transport immigrants released at the southern border to the cities where they wish to wait for their immigration court proceedings.
On Thursday afternoon, hours after the migrants were deposited outside the vice president’s home, ICE sent another proposal to the White House: to transport migrants apprehended and screened by the Border Patrol to cities where they have family or other sponsors, such as Miami or Los Angeles, according to a document obtained by The New York Times. There, immigration officials would finish [emphasis added] the paperwork and processing necessary to release them to await their day in court.
The plan would also involve coordinating with [government-funded] nonprofit organizations ahead of time so that they are aware of pending arrivals.
The newspaper leak is likely designed to pressure President Joe Biden’s political aides.
Those aides support the Mayorkas-run migration. But they are also concerned about political damage if the public realizes that the government is transporting many poor migrants to their towns and schools.
So far, Mayorkas has minimized the political damage by covertly delivering many migrants without prompting local media coverage.

Ron DeSantis on Wednesday flew two planes of immigrants to Martha’s Vineyard, escalating a tactic by Republican governors to draw attention to what they consider to be the Biden administration’s failed border policies.

“The federal government is doing way more flights than [Texas Gov. Greg] Abbott and [Florida Gov. Ron] DeSantis are doing buses and planes,” noted Rosemary Jenks, the director of government relations for NumbersUSA, which works to reduce the large immigration rates into the United States.
“It is just doing it in the dead of night,” she added.
Much of Mayorkas’ nighttime smuggling has been funded by money transferred from various federal programs to contractor-run buses and non-profit shelters.
Mayorkas’ northside smuggling network has hidden the scale and impact of Biden’s migration. For example, a Harvard Harris poll in June 2021 showed that 71 percent of respondents deeply underestimated the monthly flow of migrants into Americans’ jobs, apartments, schools, and culture.
The political risk was exposed in September 2021 when 30,000 or more Haitian migrants congregated at the chaotic Del Rio border crossing. Mayorkas was unable to disperse the migrants before the TV networks showed the chaos, and damaged Biden’s poll ratings.
However, White House officials quickly diverted establishment media coverage by suggesting that mounted border patrol agents were whipping black migrants.
On September 15, progressives competed with each other to display their outrage after Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis openly delivered about 50 migrants to the island on September 14, where former President Barack Obama has a home. The outrage spiked when Texas Gov. Greg Abbott openly transported about 80 migrants to Kamala Harris’s official home in D.C. on the following morning, September 15.
In the press briefing, tried to divert establishment coverage of the migration by declaring the GOP’s transports are a “cruel … stunt.”

But Mayorkas’ smuggling network now faces a big problem — it needs Republicans in the Senate to refill Mayorkas’ near-empty spending accounts.
He is asking Congress to provide him with billions of additional dollars to keep the northside smuggling network operational.
The request is part of a budget request — a “Short-term Continuing Resolution” — sent by the White House to Congress. The document asks Congress to spend billions of dollars on Democratic priorities, including $11.7 billion for Ukraine and more funds to run the federal government’s off-the-books migration network.
GOP Senators may covertly approve the funding in exchange for varied concessions from the Democrats.
Since Biden’s inauguration, his deputies have allowed at least three million migrants to cross the southern border in search of jobs and housing.
That huge economic shock — when combined with the inflow of legal immigrants and visa workers — has delivered roughly one migrant for every two Americans who turned 18 in 2021 and 2022.
In turn, that huge foreign inflow helps to reduce Americans’ wages, stymie workplace automation, and to inflate their housing costs — while steering more wealth to coastal investors.
The political damage to Democrats from the migration has also been contained largely by the GOP’s pro-migration business donors. The donors threaten any GOP candidates who want to spotlight the pocketbook damage of migration and also pressure them to talk about non-economic “chaos,” drugs, crime, and migrants’ suffering.
To be persuasive in politics, “you have to personalize it for people,” countered Jenks. She continued:
Why is an open border bad for me? Republicans could be so easily showing that.
They could say that these are economic migrants. They’re coming here for your jobs. They’re going to lower your wages. They’re going to compete with you for housing. They’re going to be competing for resources in your kids’ school … [And] it is perfectly reasonable for Americans to be concerned first and foremost with their families, then second with their communities. That’s how communities function.
Amid the GOP’s refusal to tout the pocketbook damage of Biden’s migration, the GOP only has about 50 percent trust among voters about the immigration and border issues. For example, a Wall Street Journal poll in August showed only that 49 percent of registered voters trust the GOP to secure the border. Twenty-four percent answered “Both Equally” or “Neither.”
Some GOP leaders are taking very small steps to spotlight the economic impact on voters.
Extraction Migration
It is easier for government officials to grow the economy by importing people than by growing exports, productivity, or the birth rate.
So the federal government officially — and unofficially — extracts millions of migrants from poor countries and uses them as extra workers, consumers, and renters.
This extraction migration policy both grows and skews the national economy — but it prevents tight labor markets, and so it shifts vast wealth from ordinary people to investors, billionaires, and Wall Street.
Many polls show the public wants to welcome some immigrants. But the polls also show deep and broad public opposition to labor migration and the inflow of temporary contract workers into jobs needed by U.S. graduates.
This “Third Rail” opposition to the government’s extraction migration policy is growing, anti-establishment, multiracial, cross-sex, non-racist, and class-based. The opposition is bipartisan, rational, persistent, and recognizes the solidarity that American citizens owe to one another.

Sen. Tom Cotton: ‘Biden Is Doing the Exact Same Thing’ That GOP Governors Are Doing
(CNSNews.com) - President Biden is doing the same thing with the migrants that he complains about Republican governors doing, which is transporting migrants all across the country, Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) said Friday.
Border towns in Texas and Arizona have had to deal with thousands of migrants who cross the border everyday, yet when a few thousand arrive in Washington, D.C., they declare a state of emergency, he said.
“The hypocrisy of these sanctimonious liberals is just amazing. Joe Biden has presided over a slow motion invasion of our country since he took office. Almost 4 million illegal migrants have crossed into our country and there are border towns, including El Paso, as we heard from Bill Melugin who have thousands of illegal migrants arriving every single day,” he told Fox News’ “America Reports.”
“Yet when a few thousand arrive in Washington, D.C. They declare a state of emergency. When they get to Chicago they call out the National Guard. When 50 get to Martha's vineyard the liberal media goes into a five-alarm fire. These communities are so hypocritical because they are not willing to bear the brunt of Joe Biden's immigration failures,” Cotton said.
“Remember, Joe Biden is doing the exact same thing. He is transporting migrants all around the country. Just liberals want to decide where illegal migrants go, and apparently all the rich elite on Martha's Vineyard don't want them in their communities. So why should working class communities in Arizona and Texas have to bear that burden?” he asked.
“But more fundamentally what I would say is that [Arizona Gov.] Doug Ducey and [Texas Gov.] Greg Abbott and the people of Arizona and Texas, I’m sure they would much rather than sending buses and planes to the north that Joe Biden actually do his job and protect our border and send those buses and planes to the south because these illegal migrants should be going back to their home countries. They shouldn't be going anywhere in America,” the senator said.
Cotton said that the almost 4 million illegal immigrants that have crossed into the U.S. since Biden took office “is not the result of incompetence.”
“This is not an accident. This is not bad luck for the Biden administration. This is their deliberate policy. This is exactly what they wanted. It’s what Joe Biden and Kamala Harris campaigned on. You saw yesterday that the press secretary wouldn't even say migrants shouldn't come to this country,” he said.
“They wouldn't even send a message that you shouldn't make the journey to get to our borders because they're inviting illegal migrants from all across the world to come to our country. This is the exact result the Biden administration wanted,” the senator said.
“Yet when it imposes hardship on democratic communities like Martha’s Vineyard or Washington, D.C., they go to Deathcon one about it when they are doing the exact same thing in cities across the country,” Cotton added.

Migrants Sent to Chicago by Texas Governor Re-Routed to Republican Suburb
(CNSNews.com) – Migrants sent to Chicago by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott have now been sent to the Republican suburb of Burr Ridge, Ill., and the mayor said he’s confused as to who sent them – whether it was Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker or Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot, who had complained about the migrants being sent to her city.
Burr Ridge Mayor Gary Grasso said Monday that his city was notified about the migrants “after they were checked in,” and he presumes that the city of Chicago took them there.
“You have to presume it's the city. Of course, they came in through the city. That's where the buses originated from, and they were sent to our city. There’s confusion, even as we sit here this morning. There's confusion as to who made the decision, whether it was the governor, who, you know, is a sanctuary state person or the mayor, but we got no heads up. I was not told. My staff was not told,” he told Fox News’ “Fox and Friends.”
When asked whether the state talked to the migrants about school and medicine, Grasso said he’s “trying to get that message out.”
“They are in our village, and, of course, they are a lot safer in Burr Ridge than they are in Chicago. So safety is the number one job of government and so we are making sure they are safe. They are not the problem. They are behaved. There’s no issue with them at all. They are looking for school opportunities,” he said.
“We’re inquiring as to whether or not they can be employed by our local businesses if that's an option. We don't even know, frankly, how long they’re going to stay. They’re here legally supposedly, because they are asylum seekers, which I understand just means that they are here temporarily until they go through the process,” the mayor said.
Pritzker’s office said, “The state is working with our partners at the City of Chicago and Cook County along with advocacy organizations to welcome those seeking asylum in the United States and provide them stability as they work to build a new life in Illinois.”
“The state has a prior relationship with the hotel being used in the suburbs and their staff has done amazing work welcoming refugees and asylum seekers before, so it is interesting that local officials are choosing this specific instance to gripe to the press about this specific group of asylum seekers that consists of about 30 families. Gov. Pritzker has made it clear that Illinois is [a] welcoming state and xenophobia has no home here," Pritzker’s press secretary Jordan Abudayyeh said.
When asked whether the governor was referring to him, Grasso said, “He must be, and I take great offense from that. This has nothing again to do with xenophobia. We are a very diverse community if anybody knows anything about Burr Ridge, you know, it's not about the migrants.
“It's about the very thing that Lori Lightfoot complained about and not giving us a heads up so we can be prepared, so we can tell our residents. Obviously they had many, many questions about safety, about health concerns, about unaccompanied minors, and so it's just the arrogance of the state just presuming they can do what they want. They invite people to come to this state and then they just willy-nilly put them in the suburbs without even giving us the courtesy of letting us know,” Grasso added.

Martha’s Vineyard Declares ‘Humanitarian Crisis’ over Just 50 Illegal Alien Arrivals
WHERE THERE'S A DEMOCRAT POL, THERE'S A DISASTER BREWING.
Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot Demands Biden ‘Step Up’ with ‘Federal Support’ for Bused Illegals
On Thursday, Chicago’s Democrat Mayor, Lori Lightfoot, demanded that Joe Biden “step up” and provide federal funds to help her cope with the illegal aliens shipped to the Windy City by Republican governors.
Lightfoot told reporters at a presser on Thursday:
The federal government has to step up. I was in Washington, DC, last week talking with members of Customs and Border Patrol, National FEMA, ICE, and DHS. And we made it very clear — I made it very clear — that our expectations that they were going to have a plan that features communication and collaboration with interior cities. And they must do that, and they must do that soon.

Lightfoot also seemed to admit that the crisis on the border is nothing new.
“I know that they’re under enormous pressures, this is not a new challenge at the border, but this is a new challenge for us and we need federal support. Resources, communication, and collaboration, and that has to come in short order,” she told reporters.

Lightfoot’s plea for more federal money to cope with the influx of illegals shipped via bus, mostly from Texas by governor Greg Abbott, came only days after House Democrats demanded an additional $50 million in federal funding to house and feed illegal aliens being shipped from border states to Democrat-run big cities in the north that have until now been blissfully free of the problems caused by the wave of illegals swamping the border states.
The House Democrats attempted to blame the issue on Republicans whom they called “xenophobes” for daring to share the burden of Biden’s constant waves of illegals with areas of the country that have never had to suffer the influx seen daily by border states.
Illinois Democrat Jesús GarcÃa, for instance, blasted GOP governors for “playing politics” instead of dealing fairly with the issue, according to The Hill.
“Playing politics with the lives of these immigrants is dehumanizing and cruel, but not unexpected from the xenophobic, fear-mongering politics of Governor Abbot,” GarcÃa said in the letter to the Homeland Security Appropriations subcommittee last Friday.
“In a cynical political stunt that has exploited both vulnerable migrants and D.C., the governors of Texas and Arizona have bused thousands of migrants to D.C., Chicago, and New York City in the last several months,” District of Columbia Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton added.
Forcing border states to suffer daily from the consequences of Biden’s border crisis is expected, but spreading the misery to Democrat-run cities is apparently a bridge too far for these Democrats. And neither Democrat explained how being a “sanctuary city” is welcoming, but having illegals actually arriving is “xenophobic.”
Garcia’s Chicago has labeled itself a “sanctuary city” for nearly a decade, already, but the congressman says that now that illegals are actually coming, the city needs more federal dollars to “ensure their food, shelter and other basic needs are covered.”
But as Lightfoot calls on the federal government to “communicate” and “collaborate” with city officials, she apparently does not see a need to do so with the mayors of the local communities to which she has shipped the illegals from Texas.
Last week, Burr Ridge Mayor Gary Grasso said that Chicago did not coordinate with his city before dropping off dozens of illegals at a Burr Ridge hotel, Breitbart News reported.
“I am concerned neither the village administrator nor I were told about this,” Grasso said. “We want to know: Why Burr Ridge?”
Grasso added that, while Cook County is a so-called sanctuary county, his town never took a stance by joining the sanctuary movement. Indeed, during his recent campaign for congress, Grasso ran on a platform of reducing illegal immigration and defunding sanctuary cities.
The Burr Ridge mayor also noted that the city government only became aware that Chicago had dumped illegals there when residents called city hall to complain.

EXCLUSIVE VIDEO: Single Group of Nearly 600 Migrants Cross into Texas Border Town
EAGLE PASS, Texas — Over the course of an hour, a single group of nearly 600 migrants managed to cross the Rio Grande and surrender to Border Patrol agents. On Friday morning, the group of mostly single adult Venezuelan, Cuban, and Nicaraguan migrants were quickly sorted by nationality, gender, and family unit status. As buses arrived to transport the migrants to a nearby processing center, agents provided water and took basic biographical data from the migrants.
In what has become a daily routine, migrants stood in line waiting their turn to leave a rally point near a busy highway hoping to be released into the United States to pursue asylum claims. According to Border Patrol agents on the scene, the migrants are not amenable to swift return to Mexico under the CDC’s Emergency Title 42 COVID-19 authority due to their nationality. The group, according to the agents, will likely be released to the care of a non-government shelter where transportation to the interior of the United States will be coordinated.
This group of migrants adds to the more than 800 migrants crossing the Rio Grande in just three hours on Thursday. On Thursday morning, the largest of just two migrant groups making landfall was more than 500.
As Breitbart Texas looked on, the migrants smiled and waved signaling their enthusiasm at reaching the United States. Women and the few families with small children were escorted to the first transportation buses to arrive.
According to a source within CBP, the Border Patrol in Del Rio Sector was detaining more than 2,000 migrants in local stations and at a soft sided detention facility. The source says the pace of crossings is contributing to severe overcrowding. The source says areas reserved for recreation and outdoor activities are now being used to house the migrants as they await processing.

Vice President Harris: 'The Border Is Secure'
(CNSNew.com) - Chuck Todd, host of NBC's "Meet the Press," asked Vice President Kamala Harris in recorded interview on Friday: "Since we're here in Texas, I want to ask you about the border. Would you call the border secure?"
Harris said it was. She said:
"I think that there is no question that we have to do what the president and I asked Congress to do, the first request we made: pass a bill to create a pathway to citizenship. The border is secure, but we also have a broken immigration system, in particular, over the last four years before we came in, and it needs to be fixed," Harris replied.
Todd pushed back: "We're going to have two million people cross this border for the first time ever. You're confident this border's secure?" he asked Harris.
"We have a secure border in that that is a priority for any nation, including ours and our administration. But there are still a lot of problems that we are trying to fix given the deterioration that happened over the last four years," Harris said.
"We also have to put into place a law and a plan for a pathway for citizenship for the millions of people who are here and are prepared to do what is legally required to gain citizenship. We don't have that in place because people are playing politics in a state like this and in Congress.
"By the way, you want to talk about bipartisanship on an issue that at one time was a bipartisan issue both in terms of Republican senators and even presidents."
Todd then asked Harris why the current labor shortage -- so many unfilled jobs -- is not the "motivating force to get something done" on immigration reform:
"I do believe that, for all reasonable people, all reasonable people are motivated and desirous that we would get something done," Harris said:
"I think a big part of the problem, though, is that there's been political gamesmanship with this issue suggesting that it's a zero sum game. If you want to deal with the issue, there are practical solutions, which include creating a pathway to citizenship, fixing a broken immigration system, dealing with the root causes of why people are fleeing their home when most people don't want to leave home.
"And if they do, it's usually because they're fleeing some harm, or they simply can't take care of their basic needs if they stay. There are solutions. And sadly, this has become such a partisan issue, instead of something where we work on it together, agreeing that what we're doing is not working as a nation. It's not working."
Todd's recorded interview with Harris was played Sunday on "Meet the Press."
Shortly after taking office, President Biden directed Vice President Kamala Harris to lead the administration’s diplomatic efforts to address the root causes of migration from El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras. Little has happened since then.
Neither Harris nor President Biden have witnessed the daily flood of foreigners streaming illegally over the southwest border, although Harris did visit an immigration processing Center in El Paso, Texas in June 2021.
Far from discouraging illegal immigration, the Biden administration has rescinded Trump-era policies, including "remain in Mexico," that successfully reduced the number of illegal crossings.
Joe Biden Asks Congress for $ Billions More to Fund His Catch-and-Release Network
The White House is asking Congress for another $5 billion to bus, fly, and house the southern flood of economic migrants into Americans’ workplaces and housing.
Any additional funding will accelerate the federal “cheap labor distribution [network] that too many politicians in Washington are willing to participate in,” said John Feere, a former homeland security official. He now works for the Center for Immigration Studies.
The inflow of workers, renters, and consumers “benefits groups on both sides of the border — governments, human smuggling operations, and businesses,” he told Breitbart News.
The request is part of a budget request — a “Short-term Continuing Resolution” — sent by the White House to Congress. The document asks Congress to spend billions of dollars on Democratic priorities, including $11.7 billion for Ukraine and more funds to run the federal government’s off-the-books migration network.
For example, the document asks for extra funding for the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, the Emergency Food and Shelter grant program, and the William Wilberforce Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act (TVPRA) of 2008.
The statement asks for $1.8 billion to fund the TVPRA, which relays young migrants from their cartel-backed coyote guides at the border to federal agencies. The agencies then operate the North-side migration network and deliver the migrants for free to their illegal-migrant parents, “sponsors,” and employers throughout the United States:
Language is needed to appropriate $1.8 billion to the Department of Health and Human Services for the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), Refugee and Entrant Assistance account for the Unaccompanied Children program, Transitional and Medical Services program, and Refugee Support Services program. Without this anomaly, ORR will not have sufficient resources to care for or place additional unaccompanied children in shelters during the period of the CR, or to provide cash, medical assistance, and support services to humanitarian entrants, particularly in response to the increased number of Cuban entrants
…This request would provide $2.9 billion to the Disaster Relief Fund in the Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency to address ongoing and anticipated disaster response costs.

Since Biden’s inauguration, his deputies have allowed at least 3 million migrants to cross the southern border in search of jobs and housing.
That huge economic shock — when combined with the inflow of legal immigrants and visa workers — has delivered roughly one migrant for every two Americans who turned 18 in 2021 and 2022. In turn, that huge foreign inflow helps to reduce Americans’ wages and workplace automation and to inflate their housing costs — while steering more wealth to coastal investors.

Much of the inflow has been funded by quietly transferring money from other federal programs to fund the buses and non-profit shelters that are used by officials to smuggle migrants northwards. The money is often given to nonprofits to run portions of the government’s migrant network. In May, Politico reported:
The redirected funds include $850 million that Congress originally allocated to rebuild the nation’s Strategic National Stockpile, the emergency medical reserve strained by the Covid-19 response. Another $850 million is being taken from a pot intended to help expand coronavirus testing, according to three people with knowledge of the matter.

“The mass influx of illegal immigrants is creating extra costs on state and local levels, and the Democrats are hearing a lot of complaints from Democrat city officials,” Feere said. “Democrats have likely calculated that providing increased taxpayer monies to these local politicians is one way to keep them quiet about this administration’s ongoing effort to encourage illegal immigration,” he added.
For example, the Hill played up the Democrat’s claims that economic problems caused by Biden’s migration are the fault of Republicans who oppose the migration:
A group of House Democrats on Friday called on Congress to provide $50 million in federal funding to house and feed migrants bused to northern cities from Texas and Arizona.
…
“Instead of helping forge immigration solutions that work for Texas and the country, Gov. Abbott’s stunts are costly, ineffective, distracting and dangerous. They’re meant to create headlines and whip up resentment from the MAGA base rather than create good policy or advance the best interests of Texans, let alone immigrants and asylum seekers,” said Mario Carrillo, campaigns director for America’s Voice, a progressive immigration advocacy group.
The Democrats prefer to blame the GOP governors of Texas and Arizona for the flood of migrants who have been invited and admitted by President Joe Biden’s pro-migration border chief:
Since mid-April, the governors of Texas and Arizona have exploited and harmed approximately 10,000 vulnerable people fleeing desperate and dangerous situations in their home countries for political gain by busing them to D.C., New York City and Chicago.
The narrative-promoting article was written by Rafael Bernal, a recent immigrant who has covered migration, and corporate priorities issues for several years.
“The problem for the GOP is that they haven’t pushed back on the funding of open-border NGOs,” said Feere.
GOP legislators tend to remain passive as Biden’s deputies welcome, transport, and integrate economic migrants into Americans’ society, he said.
They haven’t demanded an increase in funding for [border enforcement] for example … The GOP needs to be focusing its energy on increasing resources for federal law enforcement if they wish to see illegal immigration curtailed. But it feels way too often as if the GOP is simply letting the mass immigration crowd get whatever they want.
There’s no doubt that well-moneyed interests are pressuring both political parties to keep cheap labor flowing into the United States. Of course, a number of Republican politicians are buying into this argument — that there’s a lack of labor and that the only fix is a massive increase in foreign labor and amnesty.
In reality, there’s no lack of labor. And the politician should be telling these business owners that they need to start offering better wages and improve working conditions to attract lawful residents to these jobs. They could invest in automation, which we’re seeing in a number of industries. But that requires an upfront cost and there’s little incentive for businesses to invest in automation when the federal government continues to deliver a dependent labor force.
The budget request is likely to get some support from Republicans.
They include Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), retiring Sen. Roy Blunt (R-MO), and threatened Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK). The spending plan is also backed by pro-migration House Republicans, including Adam Kinzinger (R-IL), Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R-IA), Fred Upton (R-MI), Rep. Peter Meijer (R-MI), Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA), Jenniffer Aydin González Colón (R-PR), and John Curtis (R-UT).
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 U.S. graduates.
This “Third Rail” opposition to the government’s extraction migration policy is growing, anti-establishment, multiracial, cross-sex, non-racist, and class-based. The opposition is bipartisan, rational, persistent, and recognizes the solidarity that American citizens owe to one another.

1300 Pounds of Meth Seized at Texas Port of Entry — Most Ever for Town
U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers in Del Rio, Texas, seized more than 1,300 pounds of methamphetamine being smuggled across the port of entry from Mexico into Texas on Labor Day. The drugs represent the largest seizure of methamphetamine in the history of the Del Rio Port of Entry.
CBP officers working the Del Rio International Bridge on Labor Day observed a 2016 Kenworth tractor hauling a shipment of diesel tank reservoir containers approaching from Mexico for entry into the United States, according to information obtained from CBP officials. The officers referred the driver to a secondary inspection area where for inspection by a K-9 team and a non-intrusive system.
During the search, the officers found 320 packages suspected of containing drugs. The 1,337 pounds tested positive as being methamphetamine, officials stated.
Officials estimate the value of the drugs at $11.9 million.
“This is a massive seizure of methamphetamine, it is (the) largest in the history of the port and it reflects the steadfast commitment of our officers to the CBP border security mission and their effective application of technology, training, and experience,” Port Director Liliana Flores, Del Rio Port of Entry said in a written statement.

J.D. Vance: Tim Ryan Claims to Back ‘The Working Man’ But Has No Plan to Secure Border, Tackle Fentanyl Crisis
J.D. Vance, the Republican running against Rep. Tim Ryan (D-OH) for Ohio’s open United States Senate seat, said recently on the campaign trail the impact of drugs and migration is “hugely negative” for Ohioans.
Vance, during his Wednesday appearance on Fox News Channel’s Mornings With Maria Bartiromo, spoke about the impact of an open U.S.-Mexico border, which has resulted in nearly five million border crossers and illegal aliens arriving since President Joe Biden took office and now more than 100,000 Americans dying annually from drug overdoses, many linked to fentanyl.
“This is one of the things that really bothers me about Tim Ryan. He says he stands for the working man,” Vance said, explaining that it is also “hugely negative” for Ohioans.
Vance noted that the millions of illegal aliens crossing the southern border under Biden are flooding the U.S. labor market, driving down wages, and forcing working class Americans to compete against a growing number of foreign workers for American jobs.
Ohio, Vance said, also remains the “third leading state when it comes to opioid overdose deaths.”
“Let’s actually secure the border so that we don’t have 100,000 Americans dying of fentanyl overdoses,” Vance said:
Joe Biden and Tim Ryan have basically turned the U.S. southern border into the drug and sex trafficking capital of the world. We have got to shut this down. We can’t run away from the border issue because it’s making our country poor. [Emphasis added]
Indeed, while multinational corporates, Wall Street, and real estate investors are the biggest beneficiaries of mass immigration to the U.S., working and middle class Americans suffer the most as wages are dragged down, the job market gets more saturated, and investment shifts increasingly to the coasts outside of middle American states like Ohio.
Corporate special interest groups, lobbying for an amnesty for millions of illegal aliens, have shown that such a plan drives tens of billions in investment to coastal states like New York and California while further gutting middle American states.

San Diego: Fentanyl Seizures Up 323%, Overdose Deaths Up 2,375%
(CNS News) -- San Diego and Imperial County comprise the epicenter of fentanyl drug trafficking in the United States, according to the Department of Justice (DOJ), which reported that seizures of fentanyl in San Diego were up 323% in FY2019-FY2021 and that fentanyl overdose deaths increased 2,375% in San Diego County between 2016 and 2021.
“A decade ago, we didn’t even know about fentanyl, and now it’s a national crisis,” said U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of California Randy Grossman. “The amount of fentanyl we are seizing at the border is staggering. The number of fentanyl seizures and fentanyl-related deaths in our district are unprecedented.”
More fentanyl is seized in San Diego and Imperial County than in any of the 300-plus ports of entry into the U.S., said Grossman's office in a press release.
In the firsts nine months of FY2022 (October 2021-June 2022) Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) captured 5,091 pounds of fentanyl. That "amounts to about 60 percent of the 8,425 pounds of fentanyl seized around the entire country," said the DOJ.
According to the Drug Enforcement Agency, "Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that is 50 times more potent than heroin and 100 times more potent than morphine. Just two milligrams of fentanyl, which is equal to 10-15 grains of table salt, is considered a lethal dose. Without laboratory testing, there is no way to know how much fentanyl is concentrated in a pill or powder."
In San Diego, the CBP said fentanyl seizures went up 323% in the last three years, "from just 1,599 pounds in FY 2019 to 6,767 in FY 2021."
In addition, the San Diego County Medical Examiner’s Office said that "fentanyl-related overdose deaths have increased 2,375 percent in San Diego County, from 33 in 2016 to at least 817 in 2021," according to the DOJ.
The DOJ also reported that Mexican drug cartels are heavily involved in fentanyl manufacturing and trafficking in the U.S., and that much of the precursor chemicals needed to make fentanyl come from Communist China.
“Fentanyl is an extremely dangerous narcotic that kills indiscriminately,” said HSI San Diego Special Agent in Charge Chad Plantz. “Fentanyl is not the type of drug you experiment with, and it is only a matter of time before drug users consume a fatal dose. This deadly drug does not discriminate nor do the transnational criminal organizations (TCO) who smuggle this dangerous drug."
These organizations "have no regard for the lives taken and the violence created by this illegal enterprise," said Plantz. "We will continue to work with our law enforcement partners and prioritize investigations targeting the drug cartels who are smuggling fentanyl into the United States and bring to justice any organization or individuals who seek to profit off the sale of this dangerous narcotic.”
Grossman's office explained that its is focused on prosecution of the criminals trafficking in fentanyl and prevention for the people tempted to partake in drug use.
“We continue to work with our law enforcement partners to pursue justice for the victims who die as a result of fentanyl trafficking and to prosecute the people responsible for this crisis," said Grossman, "from the Mexican drug cartel leadership, to the couriers, to the street dealers who distribute the fatal doses."
He added that in the Southern District of California over the last five years there has been a 1,600% increase in prosecutions of people engaged in fentanyl-related crimes.
Heroin is not produced in the United States. Every gram of heroin present in the United States provides unequivocal evidence of a failure of border security because every gram of heroin was smuggled into the United States. Indeed, this is precisely a point that Attorney General Jeff Sessions made during his appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on October 18, 2017 when he again raised the need to secure the U.S./Mexican border to protect American lives.”

From April 2020 to April 2021, more than 100,000 Americans died from drug overdoses, according to data from the National Center for Health Statistics. An overwhelming majority of those deaths came from opioids, and fentanyl smuggling has surged at the southern border since the start of Joe Biden's presidency.Joseph Simonson and Collin Anderson
“Joe Biden is great on immigration. I guess depends on your perspective. If you’re a human trafficker, or drug dealer, you’d give him an A-plus, but theAmerican people would give him an F. The crisis at our border was not only entirely predictable, it was predicted. I predicted that if you campaign all year long on open borders, amnesty, and health care for illegals, you’re going to get more migrants at the border. That’s what’s happened since the election.”
SEN. TOM COTTON
Likewise, the Biden-Harris plan for national immigration policy — which seeks to drive up legal and illegal immigration levels to their highest levels in decades — offers a flooded labor market with low wages for U.S. workers and increased bargaining power for big business that has long been supported by Wall Street.

These so-called undocumented immigrants are becoming legally indistinguishable from citizens as they openly reside in 500 sanctuary jurisdictions, receive welfare, education and medical care, are granted drivers licenses, and given tuition breaks at public universities as they, not legal immigrants or American citizens, are exempt from federal immigration, health and travel laws.
