“The watchdogs at Judicial Watch discovered documents that reveal how the Obama administration's close coordination with the Mexican government entices Mexicans to hop over the fence and on to the American dole.”  Washington Times

  

The Republican staff of the US House Committee on Financial Services released a report Monday presenting its findings on why the Obama Justice Department and then-Attorney General Eric Holder chose not to prosecute the British-based HSBC bank for laundering billions of dollars for Mexican and Colombian drug cartels.

 


Mexico’s President Wants Answers On Operation Fast &

Furious... BUT HE SURE DOESN'T BOTHER HIMSELF

ABOUT THE CARTELS WHO FUND HIM!

Cam Edwards

 

 

Something tells me the Trump administration may be far more eager to help Mexico president Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador get to the bottom of the Fast and Furious gunrunning scandal than the Obama administration ever was. The administration that implemented the program that sent thousands of guns across the border under the direction of the BATFE and the Justice Department headed by then-Attorney General Eric Holder never said much about how much information they gave Mexico about the fact that the American government was arming Mexican drug cartels.

Lopez Obrador said during a press conference on Friday that he wants to get to the bottom of who, if anyone, in the Mexican government was informed of the operation before it was revealed after the death of border patrol agent Brian Terry in December of 2010 by a member of a Mexican drug cartel using a firearm that the BATFE had allowed to enter into Mexico in the hands of a gunrunner.

Lopez Obrador on Friday said he will ask the U.S. government if it had alerted Mexican officials that agents were carrying out the undercover operation where U.S. agents lost track of guns they had allowed to enter the Latin American nation with the goal of tracking Mexico’s brutal drug gangs.

“What seems serious to me is that a violation of our sovereignty was carried out, a secret operation, and that Mexicans were killed with these weapons,” Lopez Obrador said during his morning press conference in Mexico City. “There is still time for the U.S. to apologize.”

Foreign Affairs Minister Marcelo Ebrard said he would send a letter to the U.S. on Friday asking for detailed information on the U.S. investigation over the operation, dubbed “Fast and Furious.”

It makes a great deal of sense for the Trump administration to offer full cooperation in helping Mexico get to the bottom of Operation Fast and Furious and what, if anything, any ATF, DOJ, or State Department employees ever mentioned to their counterparts in the Mexican government. Trump might even want to apologize to the Mexican government on behalf of the U.S. government, while noting of course that the gunrunning scandal took place under the previous administration. You know, the administration that featured Joe Biden as vice-president.

Fast and Furious has emerged as a political issue in Mexico because Lopez Obrador has blamed past president Felipe Calderon for the recent rise in homicides in the country, alleging that Calderon’s strategy of trying to crack down on drug cartels with the Mexican military only exacerbated the violence in the country without destroying or really weakening the cartels themselves and accusing Calderon of knowingly allowing the Obama administration to allow guns to be trafficked into Mexico under Operation Fast and Furious. Calderon said on Twitter on Thursday that the allegations were false, and called Fast and Furious a “secret operation” that was only disclosed to the Mexican government after Terry’s death.

Es falso que el gobierno de México haya tenido un acuerdo con el gobierno de EUA para introducir armas al país. Durante la Administración 2006-2012, el gobierno mexicano exigió firmemente al gobierno de EUA detener el tráfico de armas que llegaban a los criminales. Abro hilo...

In the former president’s Twitter thread, Calderon also made it explicitly clear that no one in the Obama administration informed him of the operation. Instead, Calderon alleges that the Obama administration spoke generally to the Mexican government about cracking down on cross-border arms trafficking, but didn’t elaborate on how they planned to do it.

At no time was the content or specific implementation of said American judicial strategy an issue that was the subject of knowledge, discussion, and least of all agreement between Presidential offices.

No one in the Obama administration has adequately explained just how exactly Operation Fast and Furious was supposed to work. The plan was supposedly to allow firearms to be trafficked into Mexico, where they would be tracked to high level members of the drug cartels. Instead, thousands of firearms flowed into the country, often while ATF agents watched from afar. No indictments were handed down until after Terry’s murder in 2010, and then the indictments were against alleged traffickers, not high ranking cartel members.

Worse, the Obama administration originally denied that they had knowingly allowed guns to be walked into Mexico, and maintained that position for months before then-Attorney General Eric Holder claimed that he had unintentionally described the program inaccurately in previous statements to Congress, while alleging that he and other top DOJ officials were completely in the dark about the gunwalking aspects of the operation.

Obama, Holder, and Joe Biden should be the ones apologizing to the Mexican president, not President Trump. However, it makes sense from both a moral and political perspective for the current administration to do what they can to provide the answers that Lopez Obrador is asking for, while making it clear that the Trump administration would never engage in the kind of underhanded, deceptive, and illegal tactics used under Barack Obama that have fueled the cartel wars in Mexico for more than a decade now.

 

 

 

Exclusive — Michael Yon: ‘Our Government’ Funds ‘Weaponized Migration’ Aimed at America, Europe

Michael Yon, a photojournalist specializing in war and a retired U.S. Army Special Forces veteran, said on Thursday’s edition of SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily that the U.S. government is complicit in driving “weaponized migration” amounting to an “invasion” of the United States.

Yon recalled Secretary of Homeland Security (DHS) Alejandro Mayorkas’s visit to Panama and the Darién Province in April 2022. The U.S. government, he added, is “extremely well aware” of the flow of migrants to the U.S. through the Darién Gap.

“I took two Congressman down [to Panama],” Yon stated. “We took Tom Tiffany from Wisconsin and we took Congressman Burgess Owens from Utah. Those guys are brave. They went deep in the jungle. We went way out there with the Indians, they saw exactly what’s happening.”

Yon shared some of his observations and reporting of Mayorkas’s trip to Panama. He said Mayorkas and his security detail “came within like 15 feet of me on the ground” after landing in Blackhawk helicopters.

Yon said Mayorkas and his entourage visited a migrant camp in the Darién Province partially run by Senafront, a Panamanian police force operating as a sort of border patrol.

“They went into this one camp near Meteti in Darién Province,” he stated. “I had the drone right over them. I know Senafront down there — Senafront is like the Panamanian sort of army, border patrol, border police — they’re very professional. They run these camps with the U.N. and some others.”

Yon said he had been told of the U.S. government’s plan to assist the Panamanian government to increase the size of its migrant camps.

He stated, “I had already been told by Senafront and the U.N. and some other people that the United States — Mayorkas — is coming down to increase the size of the camps — two of the camps — to double the size, which they did. I was droning. I droned when he was there. I droned this other camp. I’ve got all the drone footage, perfect HD.”

Yon said he had captured drone footage of two migrant camps in Panama in April 2022 and recently and that both camps had more than doubled in size across that timeframe.

He remarked, “The United States did this. Our Department of Homeland Security did it with our money. Our Department of Homeland Security is openly — they’re not hiding it — it’s in your face. … It’s right there.”

“They’re breaking new ground as soon as [Mayorkas] left and increasing the size of the camps,” he continued. “It’s unbelievable. They’re well aware. It’s our government that’s doing it.”

Yon emphasized the U.N.’s role in coordinating “weaponized migration” via the International Organization for Migration (OIM), its subsidiary agency. He noted the U.S. government’s status as the primary state funder of the U.N.

“Who is funding [the U.N.]?” Yon asked. “Who is facilitating them? The United States. … This is a facilitated invasion of the United States and of Europe.”

Last week, Panama reported a 450-percent increase in migration through the Darién Gap when comparing this year’s January-February period with 2022’s, including a 3000-percent increase in Chinese nationals.

Cartel Violence Rages in Mexican Border State Amid Shootouts, Threats

Sinaloa Cartel in Mty
Breitbart Texas / Cartel Chronicles

An ongoing turf war between members of the Sinaloa Cartel and its once ally-turned-rival, the Caborca Cartel, has led to intense shootouts and multiple death threats. The threats include using a pig’s head and a funeral wreath, while others included a written message stuck to a victim’s chest with a knife.

The morbid threats first surfaced on Monday, soon after gunmen from the Sinaloa Cartel and the Caborca Cartel clashed in a series of firefights. The Caborca Cartel is an organization that was started by Rafael Caro Quintero — one of the founders of the Jalisco Cartel, the now-defunct organization that gave birth to the Sinaloa Cartel. Caro Quintero is currently jailed in Mexico fighting extradition to the U.S. in connection with the 1985 murder of DEA agent Enrique “Kiki” Camarena.

In one of the messages, gunmen left a funeral wreath with a message next to a pig’s head in Ciudad Obregon. In the message gunmen from the Carboca Cartel threatened a Mexican federal ministerial agent named Guillermo Aviles Encinas. The message called him a traitor and alleged the Sinaloa Cartel would not be able to protect him.

A second threat surfaced soon after the shootouts where Sinaloa Cartel gunmen from the Chapiza faction left a body with a written message stuck to the chest with a knife. The Chapiza is a name used by gunmen loyal to the sons of jailed kingpin Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman Loera. In the message, the gunmen claimed that the dead man shot a teenager in a nearby avenue and that they would be targeting other rivals.

Just prior to the surfacing of the threats, the city of Caborca saw a series of shootouts that killed seven individuals and injured four others, the Sonora Public Security Board revealed. In the aftermath of the violence, authorities arrested two gunmen.

The board, which is made up of several police and military entities, revealed that authorities seized ten vehicles used by cartel gunmen and recovered another one that had been taken by force from an innocent motorist. Authorities also seized 11 weapons.

The city of Caborca is on the northwestern part of Sonora and is tied to the two main highways that lead to the border cities of Sonoyta and Nogales, both well-known smuggling routes. Additionally, the desert areas between the two cities have a long history of being a busy smuggling corridor due to the remoteness of the areas, the lack of physical border barriers, the lack of patrolling, and the difficulty of the terrain which make it difficult for authorities to patrol.

“The influx of low wage workers from all across the world will drive down incomes, drive down wages, deplete the middle class, bankrupt Social Security, bankrupt Medicare, bankrupt Medicaid, bankrupt federal entitlements, overcrowd schools, and overcrowd every hospital in the middle of a pandemic,” White House aide Stephen Miller told reporters on October 28.

Del Rio Sector Border Patrol officials report just over 10,000 known border crossers during a seven-day period ending on March 18. The known border crossers include more than 5,500 migrant apprehensions and 4,400 known got-aways.

Del Rio Sector Chief Patrol Agent Jason D. Owens tweeted a video weekly recap featuring Bracketteville Station Watch Commander Fernando Zavala. The weekly update reports the apprehension of 5,571 migrants between March 12 and 18.

In addition, officials reported 4.433 migrants to be known got-aways. These are migrants who were observed crossing the border or otherwise counted as having crossed without being apprehended. This represents more than 44 percent of the 10,004 known border crossers. This does not include migrants who crossed without being observed.

Included in the migrant apprehensions are six criminal aliens. These include one sex offender, two criminal re-entry of a deported migrant, two with convictions for drug trafficking, and one with an assault conviction.

While the Del Rio Sector leads the nation in the category of large migrant groups, only one such encounter took place during this reporting period.

Additionally, agents interdicted 74 smuggling cases and seized one firearm, Owens reported.

Biden’s Border Measures Have Not Stemmed Migration, Border Advocates Charge

Border encounters in the month of February prove that the Biden administration’s new border enforcement measures have not stemmed the flow of migration, the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) charged.

Rather than curb the flow of illegal immigration, the Biden administration’s new “border enforcement measures” have instead rerouted migrants through legal ports of entry, FAIR charged in a press release

The organization explained that new data from Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) reveals that the total number of border encounters in February, 212,266, remained at historic high levels.

“But due to the Biden administration’s flagrant abuse of parole authority, 83,389 illegal migrants were encountered at legal ports of entry by the Office of Field Operations (OFO), instead of attempting to enter between ports of entry,” FAIR also pointed out. 

Dan Stein, the president of FAIR, blasted the Biden administration, charging that they are “blatantly attempting to deceive the American public into believing they have illegal immigration under control.”

He also went on to say, “While boasting that ‘only’ 128,877 migrants were encountered by Border Patrol entering between ports of entry in February, OFO encountered 83,389 illegal aliens, and allowed many to enter the country under the administration’s expansive and illegal use of parole authority.”

FAIR also noted that the numbers were released right after the Chief of the U.S. Border Patrol Raul Ortiz stated before the House Homeland Security Committee that the federal government does not have “operational control” over our southern border. 
Stein also added “Even CBP’s efforts to mask the scope of illegal migration by moving 83,389 illegal entries off-the-books, does not tell the full story of the Biden administration’s disastrous border policies.”

“The number of people who elude apprehension remains high, while lethal narcotics, including fentanyl, continues to pour across the southern border, where criminal cartels maintain clear ‘mission advantage,’” he also said. 

“No matter how CBP tries to spin it, the February numbers make it clear that the Biden administration is not turning the tide on illegal immigration,” Stein asserted before going on to say “as the Biden administration is set to end the use of Title 42 in May, the last remaining mechanism in place to turn back migrants at the border, the crisis is likely to get a whole lot worse.”

McCarthy: Biden’s Policies Have Brought Us Bank Problems, Inflation, High Interest Rates – and China’s New Axis of Power

“We’ve gained a lot of different problems” since Pres. Joe Biden took office, and his weak leadership has even made the world less safe, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) says.

Democrats’ excessive government spending leads to inflation, which drives up interest rates, imperiling banks, McCarthy explained Wednesday in an interview on Fox Business:

“The reason we have a bank problem is because the Democrats spent $5.9 trillion, brought us inflation.

“With inflation, interest rates go up, banks come into problems.”

….

“We’re paying more for gasoline, because of his energy policy.”

“We’ve got more Americans dying because of fentanyl, because of his open-border,” Speaker McCarthy added.

Biden’s weak leadership has also emboldened China to forge a dangerous new alliance with America’s other enemies, McCarthy warned:

“Now, we’ve got China thinking they’re able to do something with President Xi that hasn’t happened in a hundred years. They’re bringing Saudi Arabia and Iran together. He’s sitting with Russia.

“He’s now creating the new Axis of Power, something we haven’t seen since the 1930’s, with Iran, North Korea, China and Russia.

“Why? Because we’ve got a weak leader in the White House, and we’re seeing it in every aspect. When America’s not strong, the rest of the world is not safe.”

Poll: Biden Approval Slumps to Near Lowest Point of Presidency

Approval of President Joe Biden has dipped to near the lowest point of his tenure in office, a poll released Thursday reveals.

The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research conducted the polling and the results chart fluctuations in voter support for Biden over recent months.

The president notched an approval rating of 38 percent in the poll, after 45 percent said they approved in February and 41 percent in January. His ratings hit their lowest point of his presidency last July, at 36 percent, as the full weight of rising gasoline, food and other costs began to hit U.S. households.

The polling further sets out doubts surround the president’s handling of the national economy and his ability to project authority as he charts the nation’s economic course in an increasingly troubled world marked by inflation and bank failures.

Just Another Tuesday — Biden Stumbles, Coughs Through Boring Speech

White House
0 seconds of 30 secondsVolume 90%

Just 31 percent approve of Biden’s economic stewardship, hovering where it’s been over the course of the last year.

Biden has previously lashed out at voters blaming him for inflation and economic misfortunes, as Breitbart News reported.

“I’m sick of this stuff… The American people think the reason for inflation is the government spending more money,” Biden angrily said in a rambling speech 12 months ago at a Democrat policy retreat about issues facing his presidency.. “Simply. Not. True.”

Despite his protestations, the 80-year-old’s handling of the nation’s economic fortunes has been a weak point at least since late 2021, when the inflation the administration had suggested was transitory became a bigger load for businesses and families.

The AP numbers set out further differences in perceptions of Biden’s economic leadership:

The difference between Biden’s approval overall and his approval on the economy is driven largely by Democrats, 76% of whom say they approve of how he’s handling his job as president while 63% approve of his handling of the economy. Few Republicans approve of Biden on either count.

Democrats under the age of 45 feel less positive about Biden, causing a drag on his approval ratings. Just 54% approve of the president’s economic leadership, compared to 72% of Democrats older than 45. Similarly, just 66% of Democrats under 45 approve of Biden overall, compared to 85% of older Democrats.

The poll of 1,081 adults was conducted Mar. 16-20 using a sample drawn from NORC’s probability-based AmeriSpeak Panel, which is designed to be representative of the U.S. population. The margin of sampling error for all respondents is plus or minus 4.0 percentage points.


The annual death toll from fentanyl poisoning among Americans now equals the annual death toll of American soldiers in World War II. But Biden has made no effort to deter the Chinese from poisoning Americans citizens by, for example, ending the subsidies we provide to their economy or revoking China’s Most Favored Nation trade status (PERPETRATED BY DIANNE FEINSTEIN), or closing all the Confucius Institutes in our universities set up to steal our technologies. From the Chinese Communist point of view, this alone would be worth the tens of millions of dollars they have poured into the Bidens’ pockets. DAVID HOROWITZ


REALITIES OF JOE BIDEN'S OPEN BORDER:

The lethal policy also sucks jobs and wealth from heartland states by subsidizing coastal investors with a flood of low-wage workers, high-occupancy renters, and government-aided consumers.

The population inflow also reduces the political clout of native-born Americans, because it encourages elites to divorce themselves from the needs and interests of the ordinary Americans whom they want to treat as an irredeemable caste NEIL MUNRO

 

THE NEXT MEXICAN INVASION IS AT HAND:

"Mexican president candidate Andrés Manuel López Obrador called for mass immigration to the United States, declaring it a "human right". We will defend all the (Mexican) invaders in the American," Obrador said, adding that immigrants "must leave their towns and find a life, job, welfare, and free medical in the United States."

http://mexicanoccupation.blogspot.com/2018/07/mexican-president-andres-manuel-lopez.html

"Fox’s Tucker Carlson noted Thursday that Obrador has previously proposed granting AMNESTY TO MEXICAN DRUG CARTELS. “America is now Mexico’s social safety net, and that’s a very good deal for the Mexican ruling class,” Carlson added."

"Many Americans forget is that our country is located against a socialist failed state that is promising to descend even further into chaos – not California, the other one. And the Mexicans, having reached the bottom of the hole they have dug for themselves, just chose to keep digging by electing a new leftist presidente who wants to surrender to the cartels and who thinks that Mexicans have some sort of “human right” to sneak into the U.S. and demographically reconquer it." KURT SCHLICHTER

 

Mexico's president calls out Alvin Bragg, saying his indictment is a scheme to keep Trump off the ballot

Whatever you think of Mexico's leftist president, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, there's no disputing he knows every dirty trick in the third world playbook, having been on the receiving end of at least some of it.

He's watching what's going on in the U.S. now, with Manhattan's "let-'em-all-out" district attorney, Alvin Bragg, seeking to indict President Trump on felony campaign finance charges, and smells the stench of 'banana republic' all over it.

According to Newsweek:

Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador on Tuesday defended Donald Trump, saying a potential indictment of the former president could be a move to prevent him from seeking reelection.

"Right now, former President Trump is declaring that they are going to arrest him," López Obrador, who is also known by his initials AMLO, said during a press conference. "If that were the case...it would be so that his name doesn't appear on the ballot."

And it does have the stench of 'banana republic' all over it. A sudden epiphany of concern for rule of law, from a district attorney who let every crook out he could, is obviously about politics, not rule of law. Keeping Trump off the ballot is the obvious aim here and AMLO from abroad could see it from experience. 

AMLO also pointed out that the U.S., which blew up the Nordstream II pipeline, had no business lecturing others on rule of law.

The Biden administration's response to that was predictably mealy mouthed.

That was wretched, given how little the Biden administration is doing to halt the fentanyl inundation with his open border. 

What's more, it follows from AMLO's earlier statements that fraud had tainted the last U.S. presidential election. He experienced that himself in 2006, when he had been ahead in the polls, but ballot counting in the dead of night suddenly stopped, went dark -- and then resumed with the other candidate in the lead. Been there, done that. AMLO was one of the very last world leaders to recognize Joe Biden as president, while the likes of even presumed allies, such as then-U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Israeli PM Bibi Netanyahu, fell all over themselves to quickly congratulate Joe Biden.

AMLO has a long memory, and said so himself

 Newsweek's writer, who is also a Reforma correspondent in Mexico City, knows the backstory well, adding AMLO's explanation for his statement:

As for why AMLO might be supporting Trump ahead of a possible arrest, the Mexican leader alluded to criminal accusations he has faced himself. In 2022, a veteran Mexican politician and an investigative journalist said López Obrador and his government had links to organized crime, which the president has fervently denied.

López Obrador, who became president in 2018, has said election fraud caused him to lose his attempts to gain the office in 2006 and 2012.

"I say this because I too have suffered from the fabrication of a crime, when they didn't want me to run," López Obrador said Tuesday while discussing Trump. "And this is completely anti-democratic.... Why not allow the people to decide?"

Which is all entirely true.

Three thing stand out there:

First, that this kangaroo clown show indictment is being closely watched internationally, and the message being sent is that U.S. politics is starting to resemble the politics of a third world country where opponents are jailed on invented charges quite contrary to what the law says in a bid to keep an inconvenient opposition leader off the ballot. We've seen it in Venezuela, in Russia, in Pakistan, and even in France; it goes on in any place where political standards are low and a ruling elite is more convinced of its divine right to rule than it is of representative democracy.

Second, AMLO's relations with Joe Biden must be abysmal. U.S.-Mexico relations must be at some kind of unannounced low point for the Mexican president to make that kind of statement about the U.S. when similarly situated politicians -- such as Brazil's President Luiz Inacio "Lula" da Silva, and Israel's Binyamin Netanyahu -- could say the same thing from experience as AMLO did, but didn't. Lula also got railroaded on questionable charges as his first term ended, and then came back to win a second election, albeit apparently a fraud-tainted one. Netanyahu's experience was similar. But they haven't said anything, AMLO did, laying out what was going on and what everyone abroad could see what was going on.  

Third, it signals that AMLO will always be there for Joe Biden whenever he or his Democrats engage in banana republic politics. What could be more fun for someone in a shambling democracy that's been held up to scorn for years in the past, to hold up the U.S. as no better than they have been, and oftentimes, actually worse. It's a way of saying 'cut the crap' on American exceptionalism, and AMLO is glad to do that.

AMLO may not be the sort of person a Trump voter would vote for if he were running for office in the U.S., he's basically the Bernie Sanders of Mexico, but he should be lauded and respected for his independence and courage all the same, even if it's motivated a tad by resentment of the U.S. There's no doubt he's right and speaking truth from experience.

The U.S. political scene is becoming Latinamericanized, as Eric Hoffer once put it. Now it's getting bad out there, and those who have been there and done that abroad are noticing, and like a doleful Greek chorus, delivering their reproach.

JOE BIDEN is known as a serial liar, a "public servant" who has somehow managed to accrue tremendous wealth, a race-baiting opportunist, Catholic-in-name-only, and a bought-and-paid-for politician in bed with criminal cartels and foreign foes.  In another era, Joe Biden would have been run out of his country much the same way Benedict Arnold was two and a half centuries ago; in an era when integrity, honor, fortitude, fidelity, and grit have been jettisoned for immorality, unscrupulousness, weakness, betrayal, and craven pliability, however, he is elevated to king sleazeball in a city drowning in sleaze. JB SKURK

 

For starters, let's define the "fentanyl crises" for what it really is: Chemical warfare, effectively perpetrated on the American people by the Chinese communist government and their Mexican-cartel allies.  This administration's open border, which is clearly an intentional policy, marks Biden and Harris as co-conspirators in what's arguably the CCP's chemical-weapons assault on U.S. citizens.                         RICHARD MORSE

A Harvard-Harris poll, conducted between April 27 and 29 (2022) with 1,872 registered voters, found that most Americans polled were unaware of the severity of the invasion occurring at their Southern border.  This due, in part, to the lack of coverage of the story by prominent news sources.  But when told the true facts by the pollsters, eighty percent of respondents became strongly opposed to the Biden/Harris border policy.  If nothing else, the high-profile public hearings of dual impeachment of president and vice president, with all the facts laid out on the table, would sound the alarm across the nation.  Public opinion, (let's hope), still carries formidable weight in this nation. By Richard Morse

Bidens’ people have framed his relationship with Hunter

as a loving father trying to help his self-destructive son.

All the laptop materials that were released only play into

that narrative. But that same gameplan won’t work with

James Biden. He’s not a desperate drug addict with kids.

He’s a guy who got very rich because of his brother.

                                                          DANIEL GREENFIELD

Is it all that different from his open borders policies, where millions of unvetted foreign migrants are flooding into this country without authorization, bringing crime, drugs, and costs, yet there too nothing is done about it? Joe offers an absurd excuse for that decision, as well claiming that all migrants who can utter the magic word 'asylum' are entitled to a free ride inside the U.S. for years or more, amounting to an all-expenses paid trip for thousands. MONICA SHOWALTER

The organization explained that new data from Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) reveals that the total number of border encounters in February, 212,266, remained at historic high levels.

“But due to the Biden administration’s flagrant abuse of parole authority, 83,389 illegal migrants were encountered at legal ports of entry by the Office of Field Operations (OFO), instead of attempting to enter between ports of entry,” FAIR also pointed out. 

Dan Stein, the president of FAIR, blasted the Biden administration, charging that they are “blatantly attempting to deceive the American public into believing they have illegal immigration under control.”

He also went on to say, “While boasting that ‘only’ 128,877 migrants were encountered by Border Patrol entering between ports of entry in February, OFO encountered 83,389 illegal aliens, and allowed many to enter the country under the administration’s expansive and illegal use of parole authority.”

FAIR also noted that the numbers were released right after the Chief of the U.S. Border Patrol Raul Ortiz stated before the House Homeland Security Committee that the federal government does not have “operational control” over our southern border. 
Stein also added “Even CBP’s efforts to mask the scope of illegal migration by moving 83,389 illegal entries off-the-books, does not tell the full story of the Biden administration’s disastrous border policies.”

“The number of people who elude apprehension remains high, while lethal narcotics, including fentanyl, continues to pour across the southern border, where criminal cartels maintain clear ‘mission advantage,’” he also said. 

“No matter how CBP tries to spin it, the February numbers make it clear that the Biden administration is not turning the tide on illegal immigration,” Stein asserted before going on to say “as the Biden administration is set to end the use of Title 42 in May, the last remaining mechanism in place to turn back migrants at the border, the crisis is likely to get a whole lot worse.”

Mexico’s President Says Biden Responsible for Migrant Surge at Border

ILDEFONSO ORTIZ and BRANDON DARBY

Expectations created by President Joe Biden about better treatment for migrants led to the current border surge, said Mexico’s President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (AMLO).

During his daily news conference, AMLO spoke about the ongoing border crisis and said the increase in migrants entering Mexico and heading to the U.S. is partly due to the expectations created by President Biden.

AMLO: “Expectations were created that with the Government of President Biden there would be a better treatment of migrants. And this has caused Central American migrants, and also from our country, wanting to cross the border thinking that it is easier to do so” pic.twitter.com/TNrZQamuWK

“Expectations were created that with the Government of President Biden there would be a better treatment of migrants. And this has caused Central American migrants, and also from our country, wanting to cross the border thinking that it is easier to do so,” AMLO said.

The statements come one day after Mexico’s military confirmed the deployment of 8,700 soldiers to curb the growing number of migrants traveling through the country.

Mexico’s president says he will share with President Joe Biden his willingness to find a way to legalize the flow of migrants from Central America and Mexico as a way to meet American labor needs.

“I have a teleconference with Biden on Monday and we are going to talk about that topic,” President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (AMLO) said this weekend during one of his news conferences. “Let’s fix the migratory flow, legalizing it, to give guarantees to the workers so they don’t risk their lives, and that their human rights are protected.”

During the conference, AMLO said the U.S. would need about 600,000 to 800,000 laborers per year for economic growth. The Mexican politician brought up the Bracero program when the U.S. provided migrant farmworkers with permits during World War II.

The topic of the migrant workflow had not been previously discussed publicly by the Foreign Relations Ministry or the Interior Secretariat ahead of the virtual meeting between Lopez Obrador and Biden.

The issue comes as Mexican authorities see a dramatic rise in human smuggling activities as thousands of Central American migrants continue to make their way north. Mexican officials predicted a dramatic rise in migratory flows at the start of 2021 due to work shortages from the pandemic and recent natural disasters that shook Central America. Officials in Mexico did not publicly discuss the political effect that a Biden Administration would have on the matter.

Mexican authorities have found several large groups of migrants at hotels or being moved in tractor-trailers in recent weeks. Officials are also seeing a spike in ransom kidnappings where cartel-connected human smugglers hold migrants to further extort their families.

MIDDLE AMERICA WILL NOT VOTE FOR THE BANKSTER PARTY. ONLY ILLEGALS MIGHT!

The Democrats' plan to rig the 2024 elections

Back in March 2021, Joe Biden issued Executive Order 14019 that instructed all 600 federal agencies to “consider ways to expand citizens’ opportunities to register to vote and to obtain information about, and participate in, the electoral process.”

The executive order didn’t receive much coverage from the mainstream media, which functions as the P.R. wing for the Democrats.

Even most conservative media overlooked this story, except for a few very astute pundits.

The order did incur the displeasure of some such as the Texas Attorney General who demanded that the executive order be withdrawn.

The Florida-based think tank, Foundation for Government Accountability (FGA) sued Biden’s Department of Justice last April after the DOJ failed to respond to FGA’s Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests relating to the executive order.  

The DOJ cited flimsy excuses such as “presidential communications privilege" to withhold the information. 

But those ploys failed.

When left with no choice, heavily redacted documents pertaining to the order were released.

There was no reason to suppress details about an order whose function was ostensibly to facilitate the expansion of voter participation. 

If the goal was merely to expand voter registration across the country, the contents would have been made public the moment the order was signed. 

It seems obvious that something fishy is afoot.

What makes this troubling is that in the two recent elections in 2020 and 2022, elections were mired in controversy due to malpractice.

The concern is that this may be a move to legalize this malpractice.

In 2020, Mark Zuckerberg ‘invested’ $419 million in far-left groups. These far-left groups promoted mail voting, targeted specific key districts in swing states, redesigned ballots to their advantage, overruled local elected officials on how elections were to be run, and even infiltrated sacrosanct electoral infrastructure.

An unprecedented 69% of voters cast their votes either by mail and/or before Election Day for the 2020 elections, i.e., 69% of the vote was not subject to the usual chain of custody safeguarding ballots as has been seen in the past, and therefore was vulnerable to fraud.

Previously, the counting of votes occurred in one night. But from 2020 onwards, in some precincts, it spanned across multiple days, curiously in those contests the Democrats ended up winning.

In 2022, Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake of Arizona called out her Democrat opponent Katie Hobbs, who was also Arizona's secretary of state, for having a conflict of interest, given that she and her office oversaw an election that she conveniently won.

Lake raised serious questions about 40,000 ballots that were illegally counted with only 10% of the signatures reviewed. 

Hobbs ‘defeated’ Lake by just over 17,000 votes.

The media dismissed Lake as an election denier, and worse still, Arizona state officials demanded that Lake be probed because Lake’s tweet violated state laws by revealing voter signatures.

All of these malpractices occurred in addition to the biased media reportage, which is always willing to spin falsehoods about GOP candidates.

Recently, the Biden-⁠Harris administration released a fact sheet that is linked to Biden's executive order, meant to direct ‘an all-of-government effort to promote access to voting.’

The following are some of the salient points in this sheet:

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) registered 967,400 new citizens in 2022.

Also ‘voter registration information and additional resources’ were made available on a USCIS website for New U.S. Citizens.

Obvious similar efforts will continue all through 2023-4, perhaps even on a larger scale.

The goal behind Biden’s open border policy is to find enough new Democrat voters in key areas such that they drown the impact of legacy voters.

·        The Department of Education will use StudentAid.gov to help connect student borrowers to boost voter registration.

Perhaps voters were reminded of Biden’s plan to forgive loans when these meetings occurred.

·      The Department of Agriculture (USDA) will promote ‘nonpartisan information about voter registration’ across the country in thousands of rural, suburban, and urban communities.

·        The Indian Health Service (IHS) will promote ‘high-quality voter registration services to patients across five IHS facilities by the end of 2023’.

·        The Department of Treasury will provide guidelines for voter registration to individuals on Social Security Benefits, Railroad Pension benefits, and federal retirement benefits. Information about voter registration will be included in IRS Form 1040.

·        The Department of Justice is promoting voting among individuals exiting the criminal justice system.

·        The Department of Defense granted funding to increase the percentage of ballots successfully returned by Uniformed and Overseas Citizens.

·        The Department of State will promote Vote.gov in the waiting rooms of its 26 public passport agencies.

There are serious questions about these initiatives.

·      What if agencies explicitly or implicitly (referring to climate change or LGBT+ or abortion etc.) promote the Democrat agenda during these registration drives? 

·      What if agencies outsource their efforts to pro-Democrat ‘non-profit’ organizations who do not even inform the voter that they are being paid by the government while promoting the Democrat agenda?

·      What if voter registration is the first step by these democrat proxy organizations towards building bonds with voters that will influence their voting patterns i.e. are the Democrats running their campaign at the expense of taxpayers?

·      What if they focus on registering only those voters whom they know will vote Democrat? Social media profiles can reveal the political proclivities of individuals.

The manner in which the fact sheet describes initiatives seems purposefully vague, almost as if it was published to give them a reason to claim that they were transparent about their activities when controversies occur later.

It will be impossible to know since interactions with voters will occur in one-to-one transactions.

This is why the Democrats are, despite claims in some Democrat mouthpieces, pleased with the arrangement they have with Joe Biden. Biden's rapidly declining cognitive abilities make him a P.R. embarrassment, but he is their ideal rubber stamp leader. Under Biden's name, they are implementing changes they always dreamed of.

They are targeting their political opponents using government agencies. They are providing unconditional support for a foreign war. They are even alerting the way elections are conducted. The effects of some of these changes will be permanent.

There is no reason why they wouldn't want this rubber-stamp leader in 2024.

Others may push back due to concern about personal legacy, but Biden struggles to find his way on the White House lawn. The question of how history will judge him is the least of his concerns.

Recently states such as Georgia, Idaho, Montana, North Carolina, etc., have either banned or restricted Zuckerberg’s left-wing minions from infiltrating and influencing the administration of elections.

Similar actions must be taken but on a national level.

House Republicans must immediately block funding of these efforts to change the nation forever – the first step is to safeguard the foundation of U.S. democracy – the elections.

Kamala Harris Urges Illegal Migrants to Help Elect Joe Biden


NEIL MUNRO

Sen. Kamala Harris promised Sunday to reduce detention space for migrants as she asked an illegal immigrant activist to help Joe Biden win the election.

BLOG EDITOR: WHY DIDN’T LAWYER KAMALA HARRIS TELL THE ILLEGAL TO GO HOME??? SHE’S THE ONE WHO AS ATTORNEY GENERAL OF CA DECLARED THAT NEARLY HALF THE MURDERS IN MEXIFORNIA ARE BY MEX GANGS!

“I’m undocumented … I can’t vote …What can we do during this election to help make sure that we get you elected?” asked Astrid Silva, who was brought into the United States as a child by her illegal migrant parents.

“You can tell people who can vote what life is like for you now, and what life can be like,” Vice President nominee Harris told the Nevada-based political organizer who runs the pro-amnesty Dream Big Nevada group, adding that:

We are committed to shutting down private detention centers and ending policies that have been about separating children from their parents at the border.

Harris’s comments may be a coded message to would-be illegal migrants and their supportive legal-immigrant relatives.

For example, if implemented, Harris’s promise to start “shutting down private detention centers” could cripple border enforcement. If the enforcement agency does not have commercial prisons to hold detainees prior to their asylum hearings, the agency would be forced to release waves of job-seeking migrants into the U.S. labor market.

Similarly, Harris’s promise to end “policies … about separating children” echoes the media-magnified demand by pro-migration activists that officials release migrant mothers and children when they cross the border. That demand would let migrant families freely travel to relatives — including their illegal migrant husbands and fathers — who are working illegally in the United States.

Last week in Nevada, I caught up with my friend @Astrid_NV, to discuss the Biden-Harris plan for immigration reform and how Dreamers can make a difference in this election.

If you're eligible to vote, show up at the ballot box for those who can't: https://t.co/VbrfuqVy9Ppic.twitter.com/knU2qFSYmn

— Kamala Harris (@KamalaHarris) November 1, 2020

Like Biden, Harris pushed the Cold War “Nation of Immigrants” claim, even though only about 10 percent of people in the United States are legal immigrants:

We want to have a president who understands we are a nation of immigrants. This is a country that was built and that has derived its strength from immigrants coming here over the generations.

Harris also tried to blur the legal and civic differences between illegal migrants, legal immigrants, and American citizens. For example, she told Silva:

Define who you are, and you tell the world who you are. Don’t let anybody ever put you in a box because they have a limited perspective on who can do what and who can be one.

[…]

We are all in this together. And so, chin up, shoulders back, right? We speak our truth and know that there will always be people applauding and supporting that even if you can’t see them at that one moment, know that there are so many of us who are supporting your leadership and the power of your voice. It’s really important.

Harris also claimed President Donald Trump vilified immigrants: “We’ve seen under the current president the kind of vitriol, the kind of hate, the vilification of immigrants in such a horrible way.”

But a Washington Post poll showed in April that Latinos are the strongest advocates for a near-total halt to legal immigration during the coronavirus epidemic and economic crash.

Biden’s 2020 plan promises to “reassert America’s commitment to asylum-seekers and refugees,” wipe out Trump’s asylum reforms, bar any deportations for 100 days, and end migration enforcement against illegal aliens unless they commit a felony.

Joe Biden’s asylum and open-border policies will destroy the American middle class by releasing millions of foreign migrants into the United States, Stephen Miller told reporters October 28. https://t.co/BaeLSIud7y

Biden also wants to let companies import more visa workers, let mayors import temporary workers, and allow an unlimited flow of foreign graduates through U.S. universities into white-collar jobs. Biden would “exempt from any cap [the] recent graduates of Ph.D. programs in STEM fields.”

Biden also wants to accelerate the inflow of chain migration migrants and dramatically accelerate the inflow of poor refugees to at least 125,000 per year.

“The influx of low wage workers from all across the world will drive down incomes, drive down wages, deplete the middle class, bankrupt Social Security, bankrupt Medicare, bankrupt Medicaid, bankrupt federal entitlements, overcrowd schools, and overcrowd every hospital in the middle of a pandemic,” White House aide Stephen Miller told reporters on October 28.

“It is an assault on reason, it is an assault on law enforcement, and it’s an assault on the very idea of having a country, having a Republic,” Miller added. “This is not about left or right or Center. This is about between having a country, or not even having a country.”
