The Washington Post ‘s fact-checker has finally recognized a clear public deception by Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, who frequently claims illegal migrants he allows into the United States are promptly deported.
Writer Glenn Kessler deemed Mayorkas’ claim as containing “significant factual error and/or obvious contradictions … “mostly false.”
The criticism by the establishment news outlet will do little to change Mayorkas’s policies, which imported at least 1.5 million wage-cutting, rent-boosting migrants over the southern border in 2021. Those numbers are set to rise in 2022 as Mayorkas minimizes his use of Title 42.
But the Washington Post ‘s criticism may encourage D.C. editors and reporters to show more skepticism about Mayorkas’s pro-migration policies and claims.
The fact-checker focused on Mayorkas’ May 1 claim to Fox News Sunday :
You know what happens to these individuals? They are either expelled under the Title 42 of the CDC, or they are placed into immigration enforcement proceedings. They make their claims under the law. If those claims don’t prevail, they are promptly removed from the United States.
Kessler noted that more than one million illegals have been exempted from Mayorkas’s “promptly” promise:
Mayorkas, in his remarks, gave the impression of a smooth-running machine: Noncitizens who illegally entered the United States are given their day in court and, if they lose, they promptly are deported. But the reality is much different. Certain nationalities, such as Mexicans, appear on a faster track to deportation. But others are not.
Indeed, more than 1 million people who entered the country without proper documents have been given deportation orders — and still have not left. Others have disappeared — a problem that may have gotten worse as tens of thousands of undocumented immigrants are released in the country each month.
There are at least one million migrants with final orders of deportation from judges — plus at least 11 million more who are either hiding in the long, complex, loopholed deportation process or else are hiding from the federal government.
But Mayorkas’ deception goes far deeper than his use of “promptly.”
For example, Kessler did not describe Mayorkas’ effort to convert the U.S. immigration system from a protective guard for Americans’ families into an aid program for poor and unlucky foreigners.
This post-American progressive policy also serves to accelerate the bipartisan, pro-investor Extraction Migration economic policy. That policy pulls foreign consumers and workers from many foreign countries — through many legal, quasi-legal, and illegal avenues — into Americans’ economy and society.
This colonialism-like extraction policy has drastically changed Americans’ society and economy since 1990. For example, taking inflation into account, median wages have barely grown while the stock market has grown at least tenfold.
Moreover, Kessler also allowed himself to be manipulated when he posted a deeply misleading statement from Mayorkas’s agency:
The statement noted that DHS and the Justice Department in March issued a new regulation to “conclude certain asylum cases in months instead of years, meaning that those deemed ineligible for asylum can be removed more quickly.”
On May 4, Sen. Robert Portman (R-OH) rebutted Mayorkas’s claims of a fast-track asylum process:
Portman: …. [S]hould [we] be removing more people who did not qualify [for asylum]?”
Secretary Mayorkas: We should be able to remove individuals who have made a claim for relief, who have had that claim heard by an immigration court and the immigration court denied that claim. Those individuals do not have a legal basis to remain in the United States and therefore should not be permitted to do so.”
Portman: But you and the administration have a policy not to do that. That’s the point.
Secretary Mayorkas: Ranking Member Portman, that is precisely why we promulgated the asylum officer rule to more expeditiously be able to remove individuals.
Portman: Well, we can talk about that later, but the asylum officer rule says that [if] you are at the border [you] get a quick adjudication. But if the adjudication is that you do not qualify because you’re an economic refugee … [you] are then allowed to appeal that decision to the regular immigration court judge.
Kessler is also late to the game.
For example, on May 4, Mayorkas repeated the “promptly” claim in a Senate hearing with Democrat and GOP legislators:
After Title 42 is lifted, non-citizens will be processed pursuant to Title 8, which provides that individuals who cross the border without legal authorization and are unable to establish a legal basis to remain in the United States, are promptly removed from the country.
In response, many GOP Senators said they do not trust Mayorkas or believe his statements.
“People around my state, they don’t believe at all the border is under control,” said Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL). “I don’t believe you’re doing anything to make the border secure. … I don’t think there’s any question you’re not enforcing the law.”
“When you say that we have operational control of the border, is that actually disinformation?” Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV), the GOP leader of the Senate’s homeland defense appropriations committee, asked. “We don’t believe that is true,” she added.
Extraction Migration
Since at least 1990, the D.C. establishment has extracted tens of millions of migrants and visa workers from poor countries to serve as legal or illegal workers, temporary workers, consumers, and renters for various United States investors and CEOs .
This economic strategy of Extraction Migration has no stopping point. It is brutal to ordinary Americans because it cuts their career opportunities, shrinks their salaries and wages , raises their housing costs, and has shoved at least ten million American men out of the labor force.
Extraction migration also distorts the economy and curbs Americans’ productivity , partly because it allows employers to use stoop labor instead of machines. Migration also reduces voters’ political clout , undermines employees’ workplace rights, and widens the regional wealth gaps between the Democrats’ coastal states and the Republicans’ Heartland and southern states.
An economy built on extraction migration also alienates young people and radicalizes Americans’ democratic, compromise-promoting civic culture because it allows wealthy elites to ignore despairing Americans at the bottom of society.
The policy is hidden behind a wide variety of excuses and explanations, such as the claim that the U.S. is a “Nation of Immigrants ” or that Americans have a moral duty to accept foreign refugees. But the economic strategy also kills many migrants, exploits poor people, splits foreign families, and extracts human resources from the poor home countries.
The economic policy is backed by progressives who wish to transform the U.S. from a society governed by European-origin democratic culture into a progressive-led empire of competing 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 on March 21. “It will be an extraordinary achievement … we will ultimately triumph.”
Not surprisingly, the wealth-shifting extraction migration policy is very unpopular, according to a wide variety of polls . The polls show deep and broad public opposition to labor migration and the inflow of foreign contract workers into jobs sought by young U.S. graduates.
The opposition is growing , anti-establishment , multiracial , cross-sex , non-racist , class-based , bipartisan , rational , persistent , and recognizes the solidarity that Americans owe to one another.

“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
Republicans to DHS Mayorkas: ‘Why Not Enforce the Laws?’ Senate Committee on Appropriations 11:22
Hostile Republican Senators used two hearings on Wednesday to interrogate President Joe Border’s border chief about his refusal to enforce the nation’s border laws.
“ Why not enforce the laws that you have now instead of sit there and ask for new ones?” Sen. John Hoeven (R-ND) asked Alejandro Mayorkas, the pro-migration secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. “The six-point plan that you put forward is simply a plan to have more people come through faster and the process them quicker — it was not a plan to deter people from coming across illegally.”
“I’ll give you a chance here,” Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH) said after he described how Mayorkas is allowing roughly one million migrants with judge-director deportation orders to remain in the United States. “Would you like to change your assertion that asylum seekers who do not prevail are promptly removed from the United States?” asked Portman, who is the leading Republican on the Senate’s homeland security committee.
“People around my state, they don’t believe at all the border is under control,” said Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL). “I don’t believe you’re doing anything to make the border secure … I don’t think there’s any question you’re not enforcing the law,” he added.
“When you say that we have operational control of the border, is that actually disinformation?” asked Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV), the GOP leader of the Senate’s homeland defense appropriations committee. “We don’t believe that is true,” she added.
The contentious hearings mark a visual shift from prior hearings, during which credulous GOP Senators expressed puzzlement and confusion about Mayorkas’ masked hostility to the pro-American border laws that protect Americans from wage-cutting labor and unscrupulous employees.
But GOP politicians are still behind the curve, said Rob Law, a former official at President Donald Trump’s Department of Homeland Security.
Republicans at the hearings portrayed Mayorkas’s migration inflow as illegal, but he is using his legal loopholes, gaps, and federal funds to carefully smuggle the growing tide of migrants into Americans’ cities, said Law.

Moreover, he is using federal funds and obscure laws to quietly and carefully create a progressive-run migration pipeline that can deliver myriad migrants into the U.S. economy, he said. The Progressive Migration Pipeline will operate alongside the legal immigration system created by Congress in 1990, said Law.
In his public events, Mayorkas hides his growing pipeline behind border chaos, vague language, arcane legal arguments, and dangled hints of immigration grand-bargains, Law said. “Mayorkas is a great magician … he’s capturing the Republicans’ attention while the pipeline is being built.”
For example, Hoeven asked Mayorkas: “Are you the least bit concerned that people are coming in here illegally from 100 different countries? You don’t think that’s the problem? You don’t think that creates drug issues, human trafficking, risks of terrorists? Is that what you’re telling us”
“This is a global challenge,” Mayorkas smoothly told Hoeven, adding:
We have seen an unprecedented number of displaced persons around the world … This world is experiencing conflict, this world is experiencing economic downturns, violence in particular countries, and authoritarian regimes.
Mayorkas then put Hoeven on the spot by re-characterizing the immigration laws that benefit Americans as a global rescue program to benefit foreign people in chaotic or authoritarian countries:
Senator, I am confident that you would not have me propose that we return Ukrainians encountered at the [U.S.] border to Ukraine. I am confident that — or perhaps I shouldn’t be — that at least some colleagues [of yours] would not want us to return every Cuban that we encountered at the border because of their claims of fear of persecution, by reason of the [Cuban] authoritarian regime there. Quite frankly, it is that flight from that authoritarian regime that lands me in this country serving our country for more than 20 years.
Similarly, Mayorkas fobbed off questions about his refusal to comply with the laws that require migrants to be detained until their asylum hearings so they do not have a financial incentive to try to get into the United States:
We enforce the law. Individuals who are subjected to detention are detained to the fullest extent of our capacity to detain them … There’s never been enough detention … [and] that will not solve the challenge.
“There isn’t exactly a deep bench of elected federal Republican officials who really get it,” Law said. “There’s a growing number that are paying attention to the border … and a few, especially on the House side, are starting to recognize that immigration is an across-the-board issue.”
On Wednesday, Portman showed that he is learning to confront Mayorkas:
Portman: …. should [we] be removing more people who did not qualify [for asylum]?”
Secretary Mayorkas: “We should be able to remove individuals who have made a claim for relief, who have had that claim heard by an immigration court and the immigration court denied that claim. Those individuals do not have a legal basis to remain in the United States and therefore should not be permitted to do so.”
Portman: “But you and the administration have a policy not to do that, that’s the point.”
Secretary Mayorkas: “Ranking Member Portman, that is precisely why we promulgated the asylum officer rule to more expeditiously be able to remove individuals.”
Portman: “Well, we can talk about that later but the asylum officer rule says that you are at the border get a quick adjudication. But if the adjudication is that you do not qualify because you’re an economic refugee, which we understand a lot of people want to come here for economic reasons. I probably would too if I was one of those fathers. But those people are then allowed to appeal that decision to the regular immigration court judge. So we’re right back into the backlog.
But Mayorkas knows the Republicans do not want to argue with him over the economic unfairness of migration to ordinary Americans, he said.
Most GOP legislators are zig-zagging between their pro-American voters and pro-migration donors, he said. Those GOP senators will vote for a wealth-shifting, migration-expanding law, but only if it converts illegal migration into legal migration, he said, adding:
The [GOP] prerequisite is that there needs to be the appearance [of order] so they can go back to constituents to say “You know, we’ve solved the problem at the border and that’s the only immigration problem.” But that is not true. There is a very real economic problem of high-skilled immigration to the inside of the country that affects the day-to-day well-being of every American. But the donor class Republicans don’t care about those [American] people. They don’t care about that because more people means lower wages, which means higher profits.
“These Republicans are taking their orders from the donor class so it’s okay to rough up Mayorkas a little bit, but there are certain aspects [of migration] that are just off-limits — the economic aspects of the high level of immigration,” said Law. “They’re fighting with kid gloves, they’re landing a few punches, but the damage is minimal, at best.”
The zig-zag treatment was displayed by several Senators who spent much of their time complaining about Mayorkas’s cartel-disinformation deputy and other non-economic issues.

For example, Sen. James Lankford (R-OK) slammed Mayorkas over the disinformation issue, and then ended with a brief mention of the migration wave: “I would just say over a quarter million people that crossed the border illegally in one month is not operational control. We’re going to disagree on that pretty strongly.”
Similarly, Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) told Mayorkas: “It’s like you’re adopting policies which have caused that to happen … You’re the person responsible for this record — [and] this record is devastating to our country.” But Romney continued with a plea that would convert the supply of illegal workers into a supply of legal workers:
My state is desperate for more workers. More truck drivers. More healthcare workers. We need more nurses. Our agriculture community needs more workers to harvest the crops. Our dairy farmers need people to work on the dairy farms.
[Employers] want to get visas, more visas, to bring people in who are available to work in our country … But we can’t make these kinds of reforms to our legal immigration system … We can’t solve the problems of legal immigration until you secure our border.

Joe Biden Celebrates Cinco de Mayo Calling for Amnesty for Illegal Immigrants Guillermo Arias, Michael M. Santiago/Getty Images 1:35
President Joe Biden celebrated Cinco de Mayo at the White House on Thursday, calling for amnesty for illegal immigrants.
The president called for a “pathway to citizenship” for illegal immigrants living in the United States
“And we’re working to fix our immigration as well,” he added.
The president and first lady celebrated the Mexican holiday at the White House with Latino members of his administration and supporters.
“We are an immigration nation, I mean we say that but people act like we don’t believe it. … That is our strength,” he said.
Biden said there was “bipartisan support” to offer amnesty for illegal immigrants brought to the United States as children, farmworkers, and essential workers.
“Not only is it the right thing to do, its the economically the smart thing to do as well,” he said.
Biden indicated that the culture of the United States was changing and that political figures should recognize it.
“If we don’t get smart in this country and the other team doesn’t understand what is going on, you know 25 out of every 100 children in grades kindergarten through senior in high school speak Spanish,” he said.
Biden indicated he would ultimately succeed against critics of amnesty for illegal immigrants.
“It’s overwhelmingly in the interest not only in the interest of those kids but of all Americans that we invest in the community, and we’ll conquer and honor and lift up all those folks who in fact who have gotten in the way,” he said.
Joe Biden: ‘MAGA Crowd’ the ‘Most Extreme Political Organization in History’ 1:41
President Joe Biden delivered a sharp political speech from the White House on Wednesday warning of the “extreme” agenda from “MAGA” Republicans.
“This MAGA crowd is really the most extreme political organization that has existed in American history,” Biden said, referring to the Make America Great Again movement sparked by former President Donald Trump.
The president then clarified that he meant the most extreme political group in “recent” American history.
Biden repeatedly mispronounced “MAGA” as “mega” but corrected himself.
“The mega Republicans, the MAGA Republicans, excuse me, I don’t want to mispronounce it, the MAGA Republicans,” he said.
Biden answered a question from reporters about the possibility of the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade.
“This is about a lot more than abortion,” he said.
The president warned that Republicans might pass a law preventing “LGTBQ children” from attending public school with other children.
“Let me tell you about this ultra-MAGA agenda, it’s extreme,” Biden said.
He also suggested that the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade could mean that government could regulate couples from using birth control.
Biden spoke about Republicans during a speech in the White House trumpeting his attempt to reduce the deficit, despite spending more than $3 trillion in his first year as president.
The president repeatedly referred to former President Donald Trump without using his name, choosing instead to focus on “MAGA Republicans.”
EXCLUSIVE: 364K Migrant Got-Aways Already Recorded in 2022 CBP 2:30
Roughly 364,000 migrants eluded apprehension by the Border Patrol this fiscal year, which ends in September, according to a source within Customs and Border Protection. Nearly 60,000 got-aways were recorded in April alone.
The source says the number, recorded daily on an internal basis, includes evidence from technology systems and aerial drones registering migrants crossing the Rio Grande in Texas and other areas between ports of entry in New Mexico, Arizona, and California. The metric is usually not released by CBP. Agents also use traditional techniques to locate and count footprints.
Agents previously told Breitbart the numbers of got-aways are likely much higher due to reduced field patrols. The surge in border apprehensions mean agents are routinely relegated to administrative duties in migrant processing facilities.
According to the source, agents are increasingly spending most hours transporting, processing, and providing humanitarian care at border facilities instead of performing more important border security patrols. As a result, the source says, the absence of routine patrols is driving the got-away number.
The average migrant got-away count, recorded since the fiscal year began in October 2021, is more than 1,700 per day. The source informed Breitbart Texas the situation may worsen as a result of a projected migrant surge upon the expiration of the CDC’s Title 42 emergency COVID-19 order on May 23. A federal judge has issued a temporary restraining order barring the action, pending a hearing on the matter scheduled for May 13.
Border communities are bracing for the impact of Title 42’s end. The emergency authority allows agents to also avoid the lengthy processing required for intaking formal asylum claims.
Border Patrol agents apprehended just over 201,000 migrants who illegally crossed in April.

Watch: Explosive Project Veritas Report Accuses Biden of Resettling ‘Terrorism Watch List’ Afghans in U.S. VIDEO
5:54
An explosive report from James O’Keefe’s watchdog organization Project Veritas accuses President Joe Biden’s administration of resettling Afghans, listed on the federal government’s “Terrorism Watch List,” across American communities over the last eight months as part of its withdrawal from Afghanistan.
With the help of Republicans and Democrats in Congress, Biden has resettled more than 85,000 Afghans in American communities across 46 states since mid-August 2021 and plans to continue resettling tens of thousands of Afghans throughout the year.
Biden is currently asking Congress to authorize the resettlement of Afghans for the next decade and to put resettled Afghans on a fast-track to naturalized American citizenship. That plan is being supported by Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Rob Portman (R-OH).
This week, Project Veritas released a report alleging that whistleblowers from inside the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) have handed over documentation allegedly showing that Biden resettled Afghans in the U.S. who are considered national security threats with ties to terrorism.
Breitbart News was not able to independently verify whether the individuals named in the Project Veritas report were, in fact, the individuals on the Terrorism Watch List.
“The records we’ve obtained confirm these individuals as national security threats currently within our borders,” O’Keefe states.
Anwarallhaq Wahidi, for example, is allegedly listed as a “Category 15” threat on the agency’s Terrorism Watch List for having used explosives or arms in the past, according to Project Veritas, and is considered armed and dangerous.
“Documents further reveal he was only added to the Terrorist Watch List after already being admitted into the U.S. on October 17, 2021 under Operation Allies Welcome,” O’Keefe states. “Wahidi applied the next day for a two-year work visa and 10 days later, it was approved.”
Screenshot via Project Veritas
Nazir Ahmad Rahimi is allegedly listed as a “Category 7” threat on the Terrorism Watch List, alleges to Project Veritas. The report claims that Rahimi entered the U.S. on August 24, 2021, and was allegedly flagged by DHS for having “engaged or is likely to engage in an unspecified terrorist act.”
Project Veritas claims that Rahimi was taken into custody by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency on December 1, 2021, but has not been deported. Project Veritas alleges that his last known address is located in Washington, D.C.
Ismail Jurat arrived in the U.S. on August 31, 2021, according to Project Veritas. Less than a month after his U.S. arrival, Project Veritas alleges, DHS re-added Jurat to their Terrorism Watch List as a “Category 15” threat.
Jurat’s work visa, Project Veritas claims, has been approved by DHS.
Tahsinullah Wafa Manozai was given humanitarian parole by the Biden administration on October 14, 2021, upon entry into the U.S., according to Project Veritas, and was allegedly added to the Terrorism Watch List the following day as a “Category 7” threat. His two-year work visa was approved, Project Veritas claims.
Iobal Alokozay was allegedly arrested in Afghanistan for murder in December 2014, according to Project Veritas, and given humanitarian parole after entering the U.S. on August 25, 2021. Abiding by Biden’s so-called “sanctuary country” orders, ICE dismissed Alokozay’s case, Project Veritas alleges, because it “does not meet ICE enforcement priorities.”
Alokozay remains in the U.S., and his work visa application is currently pending, according to Project Veritas.
The Project Veritas accusations come as Breitbart News has extensively chronicled the Biden administration’s failed vetting of Afghan nationals to the U.S.
In February, the Department of Defense’s (DOD) Inspector General issued a report detailing how the Biden administration resettled Afghans in American communities without properly vetting them beforehand.
Many have been deemed “significant security concerns” and cannot be located in the U.S.
Specifically, the Defense Department report details how Biden’s “agencies did not use all available data when vetting Afghan evacuees” and therefore, the National Ground Intelligence Center (NGIC) discovered “Afghans with derogatory information … who were believed to be in the U.S.”
“As of November 2, 2021, NGIC personnel had identified 50 Afghan personnel in the United States with information in DOD records that would indicate potentially significant security concerns … DOD personnel could not locate some Afghan evacuees whom NGIC personnel identified as having derogatory information,” the report concluded.
The report indicates that the unvetted Afghans flagged for security concerns who have gone missing inside the U.S. interior “could pose a security risk to the United States.” Biden’s State Department and the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) also run the risk of providing those Afghans with visas, green cards, and naturalized American citizenship.
“The U.S. government could mistakenly grant ineligible Afghan evacuees with derogatory information from the DoD ABIS database SIV or parolee status,” the report states.

GOP U.S. Senate Candidate Katie Britt: Federal Migration Policies Damage Alabama Britt Campaign 10:39
Congress should rewrite the nation’s immigration laws to restore the economic incentive for coastal investors to create well-paying jobs in Alabama, says Katie Britt, an Alabama native now running for her state’s Republican U.S. Senate nomination.
Investment and wealth are diverted from Alabama by the federal government’s immigration policy, which gives coastal-state investors and employers a considerable subsidy of 1 million immigrant workers and consumers per year. That Washington, D.C. gift is good for the wealthy CEOs and investors who their businesses close to their homes in California, New York, Texas, and Florida.
The unfair migration subsidy for coastal investors is not good for Alabamians in Birmingham, Mobile, Huntsville, and all of the state’s towns, said Britt. “Alabamians are disproportionately hurt by our immigration system,” she said.
The government’s delivery of compliant migrant workers to the coasts also allows coastal leaders to ignore Alabama and its people, she said.
“I believe in my state, I believe in Alabama, I know how incredible it is,” she told Breitbart News. “I believe our story deserves to be told — and we have to stand up, and we have to tell it.”
Britt’s website and statements show her background and her themes:
I am unapologetically committed to putting Alabama first and delivering results for our state, because we don’t just need a senator from Alabama, we need a Senator for Alabama.
As the Senator for Alabama, Katie Britt will be our advocate for smaller government, modern job growth, constitutional liberties and greater opportunity.
She was born here, raised here, went to school here, built a career here, and is raising her family here. At every step along the way, Katie’s life has been marked by choosing Alabama.
Katie wants to tell our great state’s great story — the real one. Because Alabama is first in much more than football.
Breitbart News interviewed Britt on April 21:
BBN: The federal government has maintained a mass-migration economy since about 1990. Nationwide, wages have been almost flat for 30 years. Much of the extra wealth from new technology has gone into stocks and profits, mostly to New York, California, Florida, and Texas, while p eople in Alabama earn on average about 20 percent less than the national average. How does immigration impact Alabamians?
KB: Alabamians are disproportionately hurt by the immigration system right now. You’ve got two things going [from immigration]. First, continual driving down of wages [in Alabama]. Second, the coastal elites are able to fill their workforce needs [with immigrants] and we lose the opportunity to allow our workers [in Alabama] to compete for those jobs [created by coastal investors].
BBN: We’ve had high immigration for 30 years. This has created a bubble of cheap labor that allowed CEOs to crate many low-wage jobs. The chicken plants in your state are built on cheap, imported illegal labor, not on high-tech machines used in European countries . If you propose to do anything to disrupt and deflate this cheap-labor bubble, the companies are going to strongly oppose you. So how do we know you’re serious about this?
KB: When you see what’s happening across the country during this Biden-created inflation, wages have not kept up. This gives us a window into what’s been occurring for years now. We have an immigration system that currently drives down American wages. We know that when [a company gets] cheap labor, it takes everybody around you and drives their wages down as well.
We’ve got to seal and secure the border, you’ve got to finish building the wall, you’ve got to put back in policies that deter people from breaking our laws. Policies like Remain in Mexico, like the public charge [regulation], making sure that we are creating an environment that puts Americans first. It’s not just national security, it’s also about American prosperity.
I mean, when you look across our state, the state of Alabama and you look at the opportunities we have for wage growth, it’s significant. And so at the end of the day, the people that I am fighting for are hard-working Alabamians. That’s who I represent. It’s not companies, it’s not businesses. It is Alabamians and it’s giving them a path and an opportunity to succeed.
Britt’s path to the nomination requires her to beat Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL) and Mike Durant, a business executive picked by out-of-state, anti-Trump, pro-migration investors .
But Durant torpedoed his campaign with his March 10 statement , “Why would you not want more green cards available so that people can legally come into this country and work? …. [That is] what’s right in this moment for the people that I represent.”
And Brooks’ campaign was damaged when former President Donald Trump withdrew his endorsement .
BBN: One of the terms that people rarely mention in politics is productivity. When you allow cheap labor, companies get cheap employees — but they impose huge costs on the local schools and the neighborhood. And [Americans’] productivity stalls because employers do buy labor-saving, production-boosting machines, and they don’t train their workers to get more work done each day. What’s the importance of reforming immigration politics to promote productivity in a wide range of business activities?
KB : You see it — when there are more workers, company owners and investors don’t invest in those machines. They don’t invest in things that can help us help us produce a better product, and help our workers be more productive … They could be spending that money on helping our workers to learn, to be more productive — not bringing in workers that ultimately drive down our wages.
When you look at just the number of immigrants coming to this country, we’ve got to cut that significantly. We’ve got to cut it by at least half. And you got to take a look at some of the things that people take advantage of, whether it’s chain migration or birthright citizenship. They all layer on top of each other to create the disastrous immigration system we have right now.
We’re displacing an entire generation. Look at how many immigrants we have coming here! Look at our population growth and you look at what we have to do for the creation of new jobs. It’s actual insanity. We’ve got to [be] … giving our people a pathway to success — not creating an [high-immigration] environment where their skill set is less needed, and therefore, where they have to accept lower wages than what they’re worth.
Britt has also issued a statement outlining her pro-Alabama immigration reforms:
It’s no coincidence that this decline in wages coincided with the passage of Senator Ted Kennedy’s 1965 Immigration and Naturalization Act. Before this bill passed, America accepted about 300,000 immigrants each year. This legislation removed common-sense numerical caps and created a chain-migration system, leading to more than one million immigrants entering America every single year. This has driven down the wages of Alabamians, especially those without college degrees.
America’s immigration policies have been good for foreigners who want to come to America. But they have been bad for American workers. That needs to change. Any candidate can pretend to be America First to win a campaign. I’m committed to a specific plan to reform our immigration system to put American workers first.
Breitbart’s interview with Britt continued:
BBN: Detroit used to be one of the country’s richest cities and Ohio used to be a glamorous location. To what extent does the immigration system move wealth and social status — respect, recogniti0n, fashion, representation — away from ordinary people in Middle America?
I am an Alabama-first person, and I believe our immigration system puts places like Alabama last. We have world-class talent and education in our state, and unfortunately, our people are undercut.
Look at what we’re doing here in Huntsville, from the Terrorism Explosive Device Center, to the pathway to deep space , to HudsonAlpha and other centers working on genome therapy and drug delivery. Look at our world-class education facilities and the people they’re producing. Look at our agriculture community, and our servicemen and women. Unfortunately, our story just does not get told in the way that it should be told.
Look at what we’ve got [in cultural talent]. Let’s rebuild so Muscle Shoals is a cultural hub again. Look at the people who recorded there over the years. I’ve just toured the studios, to see the people who had been there and recorded there, and what all they’ve done. It is really remarkable.
We have incredible people with everything from musical talent to innovation … I believe in my state, I believe in Alabama. I know how incredible it is. I know how incredible our people are. I believe our story deserves to be told. And we have to stand up and we have to tell it.
[Migration advocates] are trying to redefine what America means. We aren’t going to stand for it in Alabama. We are going to stand up for who we are — faith, family, and freedom. We’re going to stand up to make sure we preserve the nation that we know and love.
In Washington, left-wing progressives eagerly support the government-delivered inflow of consumers and workers to coastal investors. The progressives’ goal is to transform the U.S. from a society governed by European-origin civic culture into a progressive-led empire of competing 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 on March 21. “It will be an extraordinary achievement … We will ultimately triumph,” he insisted.
According to a wide variety of polls, the federal government’s policy of extracting foreign consumers and workers from poor countries is very unpopular.
The polls show deep and broad public opposition to labor migration and the inflow of foreign contract workers into jobs sought by young U.S. graduates. The opposition is growing , anti-establishment , multiracial , cross-sex , non-racist , class-based , bipartisan , rational , persistent , and recognizes the solidarity that Americans owe to one another.
Multiple Child Sex Offenders, Gang Members Arrested After Crossing Border into U.S.

Border Patrol agents in multiple southwest border sectors apprehended previously deported child sex offenders and violent gang members.
Yuma Sector Chief Patrol Agent Chris T. Clem tweeted photos of two different child sex offenders after they illegally re-entered the U.S. from Mexico. Agents arrested 57-year-old Domi Gustavo Jimenez Mayorquin, a Mexican national, after he illegally crossed the border from Mexico into Arizona on Saturday night. During a biometric background investigation, the agents discovered that a New York court convicted the man for sexual assault of a child in 1995.
A few days earlier, Yuma Sector agents arrested 35-year-old Marco Julio Bran, also a Mexican national, after he illegally re-entered the U.S. A records check revealed a conviction in 2008 for lewd and lascivious acts with a child under the age of 14. The court sentenced the man to three years in prison. Officials did not disclose the state in which the act occurred.
In the neighboring Tucson Sector, Chief Patrol Agent John R. Modlin tweeted a photo of Felix Armenta, a Mexican national who agents arrested near Douglas, Arizona. Court records revealed a conviction for felony attempted aggravated criminal sexual abuse from a court in DuPage County, Illinois.
In the Rio Grande Valley Sector, agents arrested three members of the violent 18th Street gang and two other migrants sentenced to prison for cruelty to a child and sexual assault, according to a tweet from Chief Patrol Agent Brian Hastings.
Each of the previously deported migrants could face federal prosecution for illegal re-entry after removal as a convicted felon. If convicted, each could face up to 20 years in federal prison.

Trump-Appointed Judge Refuses to Dismiss Lawsuit Against Biden’s Mass Release of Illegal Aliens into U.S. Justin Sullivan/Getty Images, AP Photo/Patrick Semansky 4:37
A federal judge, appointed by former President Trump, denied a request by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to throw out a lawsuit against President Joe Biden’s administration for its Catch and Release policy that has allowed hundreds of thousands of border crossers and illegal aliens into the United States since January 2021.
In February, Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody filed suit against Biden’s DHS arguing that the agency was overstepping its authority by mass releasing border crossers and illegal aliens into the U.S. interior, thus putting an undue burden on states to foot the bill for a growing illegal alien population.
From February 2021 to March 2022, the Biden administration has released about 836,000 border crossers and illegal aliens into the U.S. interior — a foreign population that outpaces the populations of Alaska, North Dakota, Vermont, the District of Columbia, and Wyoming.
Biden’s DHS had requested that Florida’s lawsuit be thrown out. This week, Judge T. Kent Wetherell II denied the agency’s request and seemingly rebuked their arguments.
For instance, Wetherell writes that DHS, by law, must detain border crossers and illegal aliens as they await their immigration and asylum hearings as opposed to the Biden administration’s policy of quick release into the U.S. interior.
Wetherell writes:
Here, the primary statutory provisions at issue are §§1225(b)(1)(B)(iii)(IV) and (b)(2)(A) and §1182(d)(5)(A). Defendants argues that §1225 affords it broad enforcement discretion to establish policies and priorities, including the option to decline to institute removal proceedings at all. Florida responds that the cited provisions of §1225 expressly require aliens to be detained until removal proceedings have concluded, and that §1182(d)(5)(A) does not authorize Defendants to circumvent the mandatory detention requirement as it is allegedly doing through the challenged policies. The Court agrees with Florida . [Emphasis added]
The cited provisions in §1225 clearly and unambiguously state that aliens arriving at the border “shall be detained,” not that they may be detained . The word “shall” connotes a requirement or a command, rather than a suggestion or an opportunity for the exercise of discretion. The Supreme Court reached the same conclusion in Jennings when it stated that “§§1225(b)(1) and (b)(2) do not use the word ‘may’ [and] [i]nstead, they unequivocally mandate that aliens falling within their scope ‘shall’ be detained.” [Emphasis added]
Likewise, Wetherell suggests that Biden’s DHS “may be at odds” with existing regulations regarding parole that require the agency to only parole foreign nationals into the U.S. for “urgent humanitarian reasons” or “significant public benefit.” Wetherell writes:
… it defies logic and common sense to suggest that there is no overriding policy against detaining aliens when hundreds of thousands have been paroled or otherwise released into the country, and it would be highly improbable (if not statistically impossible) for this to have resulted by happenstance from an ‘amalgamation’ of individual case-by-case decisions rather than a policy directive.
The Supreme Court, last week, heard a similar case from the state of Texas against the Biden administration’s termination of the Remain in Mexico program.
As Breitbart News exclusively reported , sources at DHS have said that they are currently acting as a “full service travel agency” for border crossers and illegal aliens. As part of the Biden administration’s expansive Catch and Release policy, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) work with DHS to fly and bus border crossers and illegal aliens into American communities.
“We’re aiding and abetting illegal entry to the United States,” the source said. “We’re using government cars to transport people to American towns. It’s working like an Uber service.”
The case is Florida v. United States , No. 3:21-cv-01066 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Florida.
