Sen. Kennedy: Nobody is this incompetent, this is intentional
Many Democrats understand that the welfare checks for foreign children will encourage more illegal immigration, he said:
They know what’s going on. But they know that they can’t say what their true goal is, which is actual open borders with open, uncontrolled migration both ways. And this is a step toward getting rid of borders.
“It’s a globalist mindset and it welcomes anything that moves toward open borders,” he concluded.
OE BIDEN HAS BEEN DESTROYING AMERICA'S BORDER AND LYING ABOUT IT SINCE HE AND BILLARY CLINTON PERPETRATED NAFTA.
Fla. AG Ashley Moody: This Administration ‘Purposefully Dismantled Our Public Safety Immigration Structures at the Border’
(CNSNews.com) - Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody said Thursday that through two years of litigation, she discovered evidence that the Biden administration “purposefully dismantled our public safety immigration structures at the border” by first stopping deportations and then doing away with the Migrant Protection Protocols, also known as Remain in Mexico.
“Well first let's start with kudos to Mike Lee for making the country and Congress realize that the sovereignty of this nation and the protection of the American people is the most important issue right now,” she told Fox Business’ “Mornings with Maria Bartiromo.”
“It is the most important issue as we enter into this new year and making sure that people realize that by juxtaposing it between whether or not this omnibus bill passes is a stroke of genius. I am so proud of him, because let me just tell you what we’re facing,” Moody said.
“Through litigation over the last two years, since Biden took office, I have uncovered so much evidence that shows this administration has purposefully dismantled our public safety immigration structures at the border. First they stopped deporting people. They do away with Remain in Mexico," she said.
“They purposefully decrease the detention capabilities at the border and then throw up their hands and say we have to release everyone because we have not enough detention capabilities which is by the way in direct violation of federal law,” Moody said.
“They’ve been doing this all along, and my greatest fear, Maria, you have probably seen leading up to this week is they are going to blame the rescission of Title 42 for the chaos and catastrophe that we're seeing at the border when in reality it began when this president was sworn in and he abdicated all responsibility for protecting the sovereignty of this nation,” she said.
Moody thanked host Maria Bartiromo for highlighting the public safety risks Americans are facing from the deadly fentanyl being smuggled in - enough to kill every American.
“When Title 42 gets rescinded you will see such an overwhelming onslaught of unvetted, inadmissible aliens rushing, surging into this country, and that is why it is right that so many people are stepping up and saying this cannot happen,” she said.
“You are correct. It’s drug smuggling. It’s human trafficking. It’s the overwhelming fentanyl in this country, but don’t forget. Just in the last year we've seen a crushing amount of those on the terrorist watch that have been intercepted,” Moody said.
“The decimation of security at our border is on the hands of this president who, by the way - and I remind your viewers - he just said when asked whether he would even go to the border, he said he had more important things to do,” she said.
Moody said that President Biden cares more about protecting Ukrainian citizens than Americans, and he deserves to be impeached for abdicating his duties.
“I'm sorry that the president of a sovereign nation, the two most important things to do are protecting your borders and your sovereignty and your people. He cares more about protecting Ukrainians and their people and their border than he does about the safety of American citizens, and I am telling you, that is the abdication of the number one duty of a president of a nation. I think it’s impeachable. It is a dereliction of duty will there be accountability,” she said.
As to whether there will be any accountability with the new Congress in January, Moody said, “You gotta hope they dig into it immediately and see what I have uncovered through litigation. Look, the only reason the American people have any idea what this administration has actually been doing, even though they’re saying this isn't happening.
“We have it under control. People aren't just walking across the border. Remember they said that. It’s because we have uncovered documents that say the opposite. When they tried to rescind Title 42 we showed that they had a plan that when the surge resulted, they would just step back and let everybody overrun them. That was their plan,” he said.
“The plan was there ain't no plan, and we’ve shown through training videos that they’ve said, we're not processing. We’re just handing a piece of paper when they come across and saying, hey just report to the ICE office wherever you intend to live, and then they’re helping ship them across the country. That is what is happening right now,” Moody said.
Biden Admin Lawsuit Forces Arizona to Remove Shipping Containers Along Border
The State of Arizona agreed to remove miles of shipping containers placed along the border with Mexico. The agreement came as part of an ongoing lawsuit filed by the Biden Administration after Governor Doug Ducey ordered the makeshift barriers along the border.
Earlier this year, Governor Ducey ordered the construction of border barriers utilizing shipping containers, Breitbart Texas reported. The state provided funding for the project with a $564 million spending bill signed in June. The bill dedicated funds to pay for physical barriers, additional public safety staffing, and more technology and public safety equipment in response to the border crisis created by the federal government.
In October, the U.S. Department of the Interior ordered Governor Ducey to remove the containers placed on federal land.
“The unauthorized placement of those containers constitutes a violation of federal law and is a trespass against the United States,” the letter stated. “That trespass is harming federal lands and resources and impeding [the Bureau of] Reclamation’s ability to perform its mission.”
The governor’s office responded that they were “weighing their options.”
“It took the feds since August to write a letter? If this is any indication of their sense of urgency, then perhaps that explains the problem we’re having,” Arizona Governor’s Communication Director C.J. Karamargin told the Washington Examiner.
As recently as this month, Ducey’s construction project continued.
As part of the lawsuit filed by the Department of Justice last week, the State of Arizona agreed in part to “maintain its cessation of activity on National Forest Systems lands within the Coronado National Forest.”
The State also agreed to remove all previously installed shipping containers placed in the Yuma Sector and the Coronado National Forest, the court document reviewed by Breitbart Texas states.
Joe Biden has made it abundantly clear that he is unprincipled, untrustworthy, and unscrupulous. His faux presidency will be remembered as one of the darkest periods of American history. We can only hope that the damage he leaves behind him will not be completely irreversible. ROBERT SPENCER
Also included in the agreement is a statement by the federal government that it will commence with a plan to build an “engineered barrier” near the Morelos Dam area.
Talks leading to the barrier removal project are to begin next week, the court document states.

THIS IS WHAT NARCOMEX HAS DONE TO AN AMERICAN CITY
Tucker: This is an invasion of our country
GAMER LAWYER NAFTA JOE BIDEN'S ORCHESTRATED INVASION:
President Joe Biden’s deputies are redirecting their chaotic
flood of illegal economic migrants into quiet, quasi-legal
pipelines while they lift the Title 42 border barrier, perhaps as
early as Wednesday....The plan could quickly deliver hundreds
of thousands of Venezuelans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and
Cubans into the U.S. economy, regardless of Congress’ annual
caps on migration. NEIL MUNRO
“The Democrats had abandoned their working-class base to chase what they pretended was a racial group when what they were actually chasing was the momentum of unlimited migration”. DANIEL GREENFIELD
Every illegal alien, over the course of their lifetime, costs American taxpayers about $70,000, Center for Immigration Studies Director of Research Steve Camarota says.
As Breitbart News has reported, U.S. households headed by foreign-born residents use nearly twice the welfare of households headed by native-born Americans.
A study by Tom Wong of the University of California at San Diego discovered that more than 25 percent of DACA-enrolled illegal aliens in the program have anchor babies. That totals about 200,000 anchor babies who are the children of DACA-enrolled illegal aliens. This does not include the anchor babies of DACA-qualified illegal aliens. JOHN BINDER
55,000 migrants begin to mass toward the U.S. southern border
The Biden administration would have you think that the large numbers of migrants crossing into the U.S. illegally is just 'seasonal,' the border is "secure," and every one of these illegal migrants has a 'right' to an extended and cost-free asylum hearing process extending for years, not including appeals, with free work permits in the interim.
Incentives put out by the Biden administration to come on over -- shutting down construction of the border wall, ending the Remain in Mexico policy, ending the Trump-era treaties with Central America, halting deportations, extending benefits, free transport, free cell phones, free medical care, free hotels, free vaccines, plus zero jailtime for breaking and entering, would have nothing to do with it.
Well, with word out that Title 42 expulsions on COVID concerns is ending as of December 21, that pretty well puts paid to the nonsense that there's nothing unusual about the large numbers of foreign nationals making a rush to the U.S. border to get in while the getting's good.
The migrants have heard the message about the end of Title 42 ... and they are coming.
According to Breitbart News:
A Border Patrol intelligence alert warns the situation along the southwest border is expected to worsen as tens of thousands of migrants prepare to move to the United States border from southern Mexico. According to a source within CBP, the report, sent via official email, advises Border Patrol agents that more than 40,000 migrants in southern Mexico may soon head north.
The report, reviewed by Breitbart Texas, indicates more than 30,000 migrants are believed to be staged in the Mexican State of Chiapas along the Mexico/Guatemala border. The destination of these migrants was not revealed in the alert according to a source within U.S. Customs and Border Protection, not authorized to speak to the media.
According to the alert, migrants positioned in Chiapas are currently seeking travel documents from the government of Mexico that will allow them to begin the journey north and legally leave the Mexican border state. Absent the issuance of permits from Mexico’s National Institute of Migration (INM), the migrants will have to travel through the country illegally, risking enforcement action from INM or Mexico’s National Guard.
The same report warns of an additional group of 10,000 to 15,000 migrants in the Mexican state of Oaxaca may already be on the move. More alarming is the information indicating the entire group may be headed directly to Juarez, Chihuahua, directly across from El Paso, Texas. where the agency is struggling to manage migrant crossings at their current level.
So the U.S. is about to take in as many as 55,000 new foreign nationals just because they want to come? Add the 40,000 initial figure, with the 15,000 en route from Chiapas and it's 55,000 for this month alone.
So much for the Constitutional mandate that Congress alone shall set the numbers of foreign nationals to be allowed into the U.S. for immigration purposes.
The specter of 55,000 people from more than 100 countries now amassing at our border is going to make some impressive video for Fox News and any news outlet that bothers to cover what's happening in this area of the country that Joe Biden won't visit.
After all, 55,000 people is about the size of a small city, matching or coming close to the populations of cities such as: Corvallis, Oregon; Pocatello, Idaho; New Brunswick, New Jersey; Redmond, Washington; Taunton, Massachusetts, Fountain Valley, California; or Casper, Wyoming. Every citizen in those cities can be matched to an illegal alien on the buddy system. Or more to the point, 55,000 people is the equivalent to about a twelfth or thirteenth of a congressional seat and some leftist judge ruled that illegal immigrants must be counted in the Census to determine how many congressional seats are to be issued per 700,000 residents. Keep numbers of illegals flowing like this for a year and sure enough, their numbers will create the equivalent of another congressional seat. There are already 5 million illegal immigrants who have already gotten in, so do the math.
More immediately, now even the blue cities are screaming. They're the ones who get the illegal immigrants dumped on them, and all we can see from this are extended costs to them to care for this illegal population. Blue cities such as Denver are beginning to howl with the arrival of 900 illegal immigants. California's Gov. Gavin Newsom has stated that a new wave of illegals will "break" California. New York's mayor has complained that migrant arrivals have displaced the city's homeless in shelters. Arizona's governor-elect has made noises about protecting Arizonans from the incoming migrant wave. The list goes on and on and those complaining now are blue city leaders who are presumed allies of Joe Biden and its policies.
It seems logical that this should end it, but it doesn't. The Biden administration continues to operate on the assumption that the whole thing will blow over until a new news cycle item can get going. Cities, meanwhile, are being stuck with the tab and no federal help. And as many observers have noted, the Bidenites have absolutely no plan in place for this huge upsurge in illegal migrants.
It looks like a recipe for disaster for the Bidenites, given that the screams are coming from its allied side now, instead of the dreaded Texans and Floridians, whom the Bidenites had dismissed as racist xenophobes.
The migrants are coming and the Bidenites are ignoring it and something is going to give.

Sen. Padilla: Asylum-Seekers
'Deserve...Basic Food and Shelter and
Health Screening'
(CNSNews.com) - The federal government should pay more for the "humane treatment of asylum-seekers," Sen. Alex Padilla (D-Calif.) told ABC's "This Week" on Sunday.
"[I]t is lawful for someone...fleeing violence, fleeing poverty, fleeing for their lives to come to the United States seeking asylum, and it's our obligation to consider that and make a determination," Padilla said.
"I appreciate (California) Governor Newsom's frustration. He and I spoke just a couple of days ago. The state of California, I think, is a prime example. More than a billion dollars of state funds going into humanitarian assistance for asylum seekers.
"When they come to the United States while they wait for their hearing, do they deserve some basic food and shelter and health screening? Absolutely. And, frankly, the federal government should be investing more in that humane treatment of asylum seekers."
Host Martha Raddatz asked Padilla, "What do you think will happen when [Title 42] is lifted?"
"Well, look, the Biden administration has been preparing for months now for Title 42 to be lifted, not just because the courts have dictated that, but as you mentioned in a prior segment, Title 42 is not immigration policy. Title 42 was put in place at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic as health policy. Even then I disagreed, but that's what brought Title 42 to bear.
"We're in a much different place when it comes to COVID today than we were two, almost three years ago. So it's past time for Title 42 to be gone."
Eventually, Padilla admitted that the situation at the border will be a "challenge" when Title 42 is lifted on Wednesday:
"But let's understand why it is such a challenge, because the prior administration starved the very departments and agencies of the resources they need, not just to patrol the border but to process these lawful asylum claims. And...that's the reason individuals, or even families are coming across the border" (to claim asylum).
"Again, most Americans understand and appreciate there are people who want to come to the United States for a number of reasons..."
Padilla said the U.S. should invest more in border safety and security -- but he rejected security measures such as a wall:
"The years we lost to the build-the-wall debate was foolish. We know that whether it's migrants, whether it's, you know, whatever the Republicans are afraid of, contraband, et cetera comes primarily through ports of entry. And so that's got to be the first and foremost focus on border safety dollars."
The current chaos is occurring in-between ports of entry, where migrants are crossing illegally by the hundreds daily.

Become an illegal alien to the US! Win big prizes, get free stuff — with no taxes
Are you almost broke because of medical bills? Does your job, that you're lucky to have, leave you so exhausted that you have no time or patience for your family? Are federal and local taxes grabbing an ever larger part of your income, reducing your after-tax income? Do you want to move to another part of the country with better professional opportunities, proximity to family, pleasanter weather, and/or lower taxes but can't afford the expense? Does the lawyer you hired to fight the ticket for going over 5 miles above the limit charge more than the ticket you can't afford? Did you commit a minor crime as a teenager years ago, repent, but still find it difficult to get a job or decent housing because of this stain on your record? Are you having trouble with tuition payments for the school that offers the best training for your dream job that will pay you a living wage? Did you lose a job to a much less qualified special minority?
If you answered yes to any of the above questions, help is on the way! Do I have a deal for you! Become an illegal alien to the United States, and all these problems — and more! — are solved! Free!
What? Yes, it is that easy if declared president Joe R. Biden (D) and friends have their way.
The United States could pay for transportation, healthcare, legal services, and career and educational services for migrants separated under former President Donald Trump's "zero tolerance" border strategy, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said on Monday.
The announcement is part of a list of principles released by the administration of U.S. President Joe Biden to guide its family reunification task force as the administration seeks to reunite more than 500 migrant children and parents separated by his predecessor's border policy.
The Biden administration will also consider bringing deported parents back to the United States, an option outlined in Biden's Feb. 2 executive order creating the family reunification task force.
See how easy it is, you hardworking sucker.
"But, but who will pay for this?" you might wonder. Why, all the legal citizens of the U.S., both native-born and (legal) immigrants who patiently waited for permission to arrive in this country, who work hard to pay taxes to support themselves and their families.
"What's the catch,?" you might dubiously ask. None! The catch — and the taxes to pay for all of this — belong to all the legal citizens of the U.S.
This white-skinned daughter of legal, hardworking Jewish immigrants who honored and privileged me as their parents and who pays more than her fair share of taxes but doesn't get the equivalent in return except for the honor of living in the United States, and thus unfairly suffers from inequity, is seriously thinking about legally becoming illegal.
It's only fair. And equal.
A DACA amnesty would put more citizen children of illegal aliens — known as “anchor babies” — on federal welfare, as Breitbart News reported, while American taxpayers would be left potentially with a $26 billion bill.
Additionally, about one-in-five DACA illegal aliens, after an amnesty, would end up on food stamps, while at least one-in-seven would go on Medicaid. JOHN BINDER
THE NEW PRIVILEGED CLASS: Illegals!
This is why you work From Jan - May paying taxes to the government ....with the rest of the calendar year is money for you and your family.
Take, for example, an illegal alien with a wife and five children. He takes a job for $5.00 or 6.00/hour. At that wage, with six dependents, he pays no income tax, yet at the end of the year, if he files an Income Tax Return, with his fake Social Security number, he gets an "earned income credit" of up to $3,200..... free.
He qualifies for Section 8 housing and subsidized rent.
He qualifies for food stamps.
He qualifies for free (no deductible, no co-pay) health care.
His children get free breakfasts and lunches at school.
He requires bilingual teachers and books.
He qualifies for relief from high energy bills.
If they are or become, aged, blind or disabled, they qualify for SSI.
Once qualified for SSI they can qualify for Medicare. All of this is at (our) taxpayer's expense.
He doesn't worry about car insurance, life insurance, or homeowners insurance.
Taxpayers provide Spanish language signs, bulletins and printed material.
He and his family receive the equivalent of $20.00 to $30.00/hour in benefits.
Working Americans are lucky to have $5.00 or $6.00/hour left after Paying their bills and his.
The American taxpayers also pay for increased crime, graffiti and trash clean-up.

JOE LEGAL v LA RAZA JOSE ILLEGAL
Here’s how it breaks down; will make you want to be an illegal!
http://mexicanoccupation.blogspot.com/2011/05/joe-american-legal-vs-la-raza-jose.html
THE TAX-FREE MEXICAN UNDERGROUND ECONOMY IN LOS ANGELES COUNTY IS ESTIMATED TO BE IN EXCESS OF $2 BILLION YEARLY!
Staggering expensive "cheap" Mexican labor did not build this once great nation! Look what it has done to Mexico. It's all about keeping wages depressed and passing along the true cost of the invasion, their welfare, and crime tidal wave costs to the backs of the American people!
AMERICA: YOU’RE BETTER OFF BEING AN ILLEGAL!!!
http://mexicanoccupation.blogspot.com/2018/06/in-america-it-is-better-to-be-illegal.html
This annual income for an impoverished American family is $10,000 less than the more than $34,500 in federal funds which are spent on each unaccompanied minor border crosser.
A study by Tom Wong of the University of California at San Diego discovered that more than 25 percent of DACA-enrolled illegal aliens in the program have anchor babies. That totals about 200,000 anchor babies who are the children of DACA-enrolled illegal aliens. This does not include the anchor babies of DACA-qualified illegal aliens. JOHN BINDER
As Breitbart News has reported, U.S. households headed by foreign-born residents use nearly twice the welfare of households headed by native-born Americans.
Simultaneously, illegal immigration next year is on track to soar to the highest level in a decade, with a potential 600,000 border crossers expected.
“More than 750 million people want to migrate to another country permanently, according to Gallup research published Monday, as 150 world leaders sign up to the controversial UN global compact which critics say makes migration a human right.” VIRGINIA HALE
For example, a DACA amnesty would cost American taxpayers about $26 billion, more than the border wall, and that does not include the money taxpayers would have to fork up to subsidize the legal immigrant relatives of DACA illegal aliens.
Exclusive–Steve Camarota: Every Illegal Alien Costs Americans $70K Over Their Lifetime
JOHN BINDER
Every illegal alien, over the course of their lifetime, costs American taxpayers about $70,000, Center for Immigration Studies Director of Research Steve Camarota says.
During an interview with SiriusXM Patriot’s Breitbart News Daily, Camarota said his research has revealed the enormous financial burden that illegal immigration has on America’s working and middle class taxpayers in terms of public services, depressed wages, and welfare.
“In a person’s lifetime, I’ve estimated that an illegal border crosser might cost taxpayers … maybe over $70,000 a year as a net cost,” Camarota said. “And that excludes the cost of their U.S.-born children, which gets pretty big when you add that in.”
LISTEN:
“Once [an illegal alien] has a child, they can receive cash welfare on behalf of their U.S.-born children,” Camarota explained. “Once they have a child, they can live in public housing. Once they have a child, they can receive food stamps on behalf of that child. That’s how that works.”
Camarota said the education levels of illegal aliens, border crossers, and legal immigrants are largely to blame for the high level of welfare usage by the f0reign-born population in the U.S., noting that new arrivals tend to compete for jobs against America’s poor and working class communities.
In past waves of mass immigration, Camarota said, the U.S. did not have an expansive welfare system. Today’s ever-growing welfare system, coupled with mass illegal and legal immigration levels, is “extremely problematic,” according to Camarota, for American taxpayers.
The RAISE Act — reintroduced in the Senate by Senators Tom Cotton (R-AR), David Perdue (R-GA), and Josh Hawley (R-MO) — would cut legal immigration levels in half and convert the immigration system to favor well-educated foreign nationals, thus relieving American workers and taxpayers of the nearly five-decade-long wave of booming immigration. Currently, mass legal immigration redistributes the wealth of working and middle class Americans to the country’s top earners.
“Virtually none of that existed in 1900 during the last great wave of immigration, when we also took in a number of poor people. We didn’t have a well-developed welfare state,” Camarota continued:
We’re not going to stop [the welfare state] tomorrow. So in that context, bringing in less educated people who are poor is extremely problematic for public coffers, for taxpayers in a way that it wasn’t in 1900 because the roads weren’t even paved between the cities in 1900. It’s just a totally different world. And that’s the point of the RAISE Act is to sort of bring in line immigration policy with the reality say of a large government … and a welfare state. [Emphasis added]
The immigrants are not all coming to get welfare and they don’t immediately sign up, but over time, an enormous fraction sign their children up. It’s likely the case that of the U.S.-born children of illegal immigrants, more than half are signed up for Medicaid — which is our most expensive program. [Emphasis added]
As Breitbart News has reported, U.S. households headed by foreign-born residents use nearly twice the welfare of households headed by native-born Americans.
Every year the U.S. admits more than 1.5 million foreign nationals, with the vast majority deriving from chain migration. In 2017, the foreign-born population reached a record high of 44.5 million. By 2023, the Center for Immigration Studies estimates that the legal and illegal immigrant population of the U.S. will make up nearly 15 percent of the entire U.S. population.

Another line they cut into: Illegals get free public housing as impoverished Americans wait
Want some perspective on why so many blue sanctuary cities have so many homeless encampments hovering around?
Try the reality that illegal immigrants are routinely given free public housing by the U.S., based on the fact that they are uneducated, unskilled, and largely unemployable. Those are the criteria, and now importing poverty has never been easier. Shockingly, this comes as millions of poor Americans are out in the cold awaiting that housing that the original law was intended to help.
Thus, the tent cities, and by coincidence, the worst of these emerging shantytowns are in blue sanctuary cities loaded with illegal immigrants - Orange County, San Francisco, San Diego, Seattle, New York...Is there a connection? At a minimum, it's worth looking at.
The Trump administration's Department of Housing and Urban Development is finally trying to put a stop to it as 1.5 million illegals prepare to enter the U.S. this year, and one can only wonder why they didn't do it yesterday.
According to a report in the Washington Times:
The plan would scrap Clinton-era regulations that allowed illegal immigrants to sign up for assistance without having to disclose their status.
Under the new Trump rules, not only would the leaseholder using public housing have to be an eligible U.S. person, but the government would verify all applicants through the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) database, a federal system that’s used to weed illegal immigrants out of other welfare programs.
Those already getting HUD assistance would have to go through a new verification, though it would be over a period of time and wouldn’t all come at once.
“We’ve got our own people to house and need to take care of our citizens,” an administration official told The Washington Times. “Because of past loopholes in HUD guidance, illegal aliens were able to live in free public housing desperately needed by so many of our own citizens. As illegal aliens attempt to swarm our borders, we’re sending the message that you can’t live off of American welfare on the taxpayers’ dime.”
The Times notes that the rules are confusingly contradictary, and some illegal immigrant families are getting full rides based on just one member being born in the U.S. The pregnant caravaner who calculatingly slipped across the U.S. in San Diego late last year, only to have her baby the next day, now, along with her entire family, gets that free ride on government housing. Plus lots of cheesy news coverage about how heartwarming it all is. That's a lot cheaper than any housing she's going to find back in Tegucigalpa.
Migrants would be almost fools not to take the offering.
The problem of course is that Americans who paid into these programs, and the subset who find themselves in dire circumstances, are in fact being shut out.
The fill-the-pews Catholic archbishops may love to tout the virtues of illegal immigrants and wave signs about getting 'justice" for them, but the hard fact here is that these foreign nationals are stealing from others as they take this housing benefit under legal technicalities. That's not a good thing under anyone's theological law. But hypocrisy is comfortable ground for the entire open borders lobby as they shamelessly celebrate lawbreaking at the border, leaving the impoverished of the U.S. out cold.
The Trump administration is trying to have this outrage fixed by summer. But don't imagine it won't be without the open-borders lawsuits, the media sob stories, the leftist judges, and the scolding clerics.
Los Angeles County Pays Over a Billion in Welfare to Illegal Aliens Over Two Years
BY MASOOMA HAQ
In 2015 and 2016, Los Angeles County paid nearly $1.3 billion in welfare funds to illegal aliens and their families. That figure amounts to 25 percent of the total spent on the county’s entire needy population, according to Fox News.
The state of California is home to more illegal aliens than any other state in the country. Approximately one in five illegal aliens lives in California, Pew reported.
Approximately a quarter of California’s 4 million illegal immigrants reside in Los Angeles County. The county allows illegal immigrant parents with children born in the United States to seek welfare and food stamp benefits.
The welfare benefits data acquired by Fox News comes from the Los Angeles County Department of Public Social Services and shows welfare and food stamp costs for the county’s entire population were $3.1 billion in 2015, $2.9 billion in 2016.
The data also shows that during the first five months of 2017, more than 60,000 families received a total of $181 million.
Over 58,000 families received a total of $602 million in benefits in 2015 and more than 64,000 families received a total of $675 million in 2016.
Robert Rector, a Heritage Foundation senior fellow who studies poverty and illegal immigration, told Fox the costs represent “the tip of the iceberg.”
“They get $3 in benefits for every $1 they spend,” Rector said. It can cost the government a total of $24,000 per year per family to pay for things like education, police, fire, medical, and subsidized housing.
In February of 2019, the Los Angeles city council signed a resolution making it a sanctuary city. The resolution did not provide any new legal protections to their immigrants, but instead solidified existing policies.
In October 2017, former California governor Jerry Brown signed SB 54 into law. This bill made California, in Brown’s own words, a “sanctuary state.” The Justice Department filed a lawsuit against the State of California over the law. A federal judge dismissed that suit in July. SB 54 took effect on Jan. 1, 2018.
According to Center for Immigration Studies, “The new law does many things: It forbids all localities from cooperating with ICE detainer notices, it bars any law enforcement officer from participating in the popular 287(g) program, and it prevents state and local police from inquiring about individuals’ immigration status.”
Some counties in California have protested its implementation and joined the Trump administration’s lawsuit against the state.
California’s campaign to provide public services to illegal immigrants did not end with the exit of Jerry Brown. His successor, Gavin Newsom, is just as focused as Brown in funding programs for illegal residents at the expense of California taxpayers.
California’s budget earmarks millions of dollars annually to the One California program, which provides free legal assistance to all aliens, including those facing deportation, and makes California’s public universities easier for illegal-alien students to attend.
According to the Fiscal Burden of Illegal Immigration on United States Taxpayers 2017 report, for the estimated 12.5 million illegal immigrants living in the country, the resulting cost is a $116 billion burden on the national economy and taxpayers each year, after deducting the $19 billion in taxes paid by some of those illegal immigrants.

EXCLUSIVE: DHS Sets Gag Order on Migrant Apprehension Numbers at Border
Breitbart Texas reviewed a Monday directive to all Customs and Border Protection managers which gags them from releasing migrant apprehension statistics through social media accounts or directly to the public without the express approval of the Department of Homeland Security. The directive precludes Border Patrol managers from releasing any interim arrest statistics or stories as the decision over the potential end Title 42 enforcement now sits before the Supreme Court.
The source, not authorized to speak to the media, says the message is intended to curb routine disclosures of migrant apprehensions near the southern border. These are generally provided by Border Patrol Chief Patrol Agents via social media and comments to journalists. The unprecedented directive was circulated on Monday and took immediate effect.
The order was sent under the title “DHS OPA guidance on social media coordination for the lifting of Title 42.” The order was later clarified to impose a ban on the direct communication with outlets or platforms regarding the release of migrant apprehension statistics without DHS approval. DHS OPA is the acronym for the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Public Affairs.
The impact of the order is already evident from the lack of routine posts on social media accounts from several Border Patrol sectors. The content typically offers weekend or weekly recaps of migrant crossing statistics and other notable enforcement actions.
Prior to the policy change, on December 12, El Paso Chief Patrol Agent Peter Jaquez provided a weekend recap revealing a three-day average of more than 2,460 migrants entering the city.
On Tuesday, Jaquez tweeted a 48-hour recap that was limited to 57 migrant apprehensions related to organized smuggling schemes interdicted by Border Patrol agents within the sector.
The disparity in the breadth of information between the two tweets is stark. The CBP source is alarmed by the policy’s intent to remove highly visible images and real-time statistics from the public domain. The source told Breitbart Texas the new directive will allow DHS to control the narrative as the looming border crisis is expected to worsen after Title 42.
The source further emphasized that future apprehension data releases could be delayed and presented in such a manner to minimize the impacts of the crisis.
In the Border Patrol’s Del Rio Sector, where migrant apprehensions are currently second only to the El Paso Sector, routine weekly social media postings concerning migrant apprehension data have also ceased.
Chief Jason Owens tweeted a weekly recap on December 12, informing of nearly 11,000 migrant apprehensions, including one single migrant group of more than 700. No weekly migrant apprehension statistics have been posted as of Wednesday.
On Tuesday, Breitbart Texas reached out to CBP to inquire about the lack of postings for the latest week and advised that such disclosures would be delayed.
