New York Times: Biden Admin Ignored Warnings About Migrant Child Labor, Punished Whistleblowers
If Marjorie Taylor Greene is accurate, what she says about Biden is mind-blowing
Hunter Biden’s hard drive, which he’s now conceded is legitimate, proved that Hunter was an exceptionally debauched character. Drugs and prostitutes dominated his life for a long time, and his own family didn’t trust him around teenage girls. That’s why it’s easy to believe Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s as-yet unsubstantiated claim that the Biden family was benefitting from human trafficking both in the U.S. and Eastern Europe—including Russia and Ukraine. Just because she says it doesn’t mean it’s true, so the real shock is that we live in a world in which it seems possible, even likely.
It took a strong stomach to watch the videos and view the photographs on Hunter’s hard drive. They revealed a compulsively exhibitionistic man who couldn’t stop recording himself smoking crack, sniffing cocaine, and cavorting with prostitutes, some of whom looked as if they fell into the statutory rape category. Moreover, the laptop revealed that, when Hunter requested money from his Dad (the current Oval Office occupant) to fund this debauchery, Dad paid up.
What the laptop also revealed, despite Biden’s strenuous denials, is that Joe was involved in Hunter’s many business dealings. We know this because Hunter’s staffers, business partners, and prospects were all welcomed into Joe’s vice-presidential office.

Now, thanks to Republican control over the House of Representatives, we’re getting an insight into the fact that all members of the Biden family may have received money from Hunter’s many business deals, including those with Ukraine and China. In March, Rep. James Comer (R-KY) reported that, in addition to the money Hunter and James Biden were pocketing through the family influence-peddling business, Hallie Biden (widow of Beau Biden and drug-addicted girlfriend of Hunter Biden) was also getting a cut.
Then, on Monday, Rep. Comer revealed that even more Bidens were on the take:
Six more members of the Biden clan may have benefitted from the family’s various business schemes, bringing the total number of kin implicated up to nine, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer revealed Monday.
The findings come after the Kentucky GOP congressman and other lawmakers on the panel examined suspicious activity reports sent by banks to the Treasury Department alerting of potential criminal activity in transactions involving President Biden’s family.
“Thousands of pages of financial records related to the Biden family, their companies, and associates’ business schemes were made available to members of the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, which confirm the importance of this investigation,” Comer said in a statement.
“The Biden family enterprise is centered on Joe Biden’s political career and connections, and it has generated an exorbitant amount of money for the Biden family. We’ve identified six additional members of Joe Biden’s family who may have benefited from the Biden family’s businesses that we are investigating, bringing the total number of those involved or benefiting to nine,” he said.
In a way, that’s kind of ho-hum stuff. Peter Schweizer long ago detailed the Biden family grift, all of which revolved around Biden’s political positions in the Senate and the Vice President’s office.
Yesterday, though, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (D-GA) added something unexpected to the businesses from which the Bidens profited. According to her, in addition to money coming to the Bidens from various foreign countries,
I just saw evidence of human trafficking. This involved prostitutes not only from here in the United States, but foreign countries like Russia and Ukraine. This is unbelievable that a President and a former Vice President, not only his son Hunter Biden, but many more family members extending past Hunter Biden and his immediate family.
As I noted, there is no way to know whether Greene is correctly interpreting the information the House committee is reviewing. The sad state in which America finds itself, though, is that everyone who hears this claim asks some variation of this rhetorical question: “Would that be a surprise?”
The answer, of course, is no. Given the Biden family’s rapacity, Joe’s penchant for sniffing and fondling little girls, an
d Hunter’s well-known and self-documented debauchery, it’s only too easy to believe that America’s president has enriched himself and his family through human trafficking.
Bush, Obama, Clinton Team Up with American Express to Fly Migrants into American Communities
A non-governmental organization (NGO) founded by former Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama and backed by a litany of multinational corporations is teaming up with American Express to fly migrants into the United States.
The NGO, called Welcome.US, was initially launched to work with President Joe Biden’s administration in resettling some 85,000 Afghans across the U.S. in 2021 and 2022, as Breitbart News reported extensively at the time.
For its Afghan operation, the NGO helped fly close to 20,000 Afghans to American communities funded by millions raised from donations and supported by corporate backers like Walmart, Airbnb, the New York Times, the Business Roundtable, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Starbucks, the Washington Post, Goldman Sachs, Goodwill Industries, Microsoft, and Chobani.
The NGO also has ties to billionaire George Soros, as members of his Open Society Foundation sit on the group’s “National Welcome Council.”
Now, the NGO is teaming up with the open borders group Miles4Migrants as well as American Express Global Business Travel to fund flights to American communities for migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela, Ukraine, and Nicaragua.
“Donations are needed to fund the flights for newcomers to travel to the United States,” the initiative’s webpage states:
Those forced to flee often leave behind all but what they can carry, and the costs of international travel can be prohibitive. Welcome Connect Travel removes the cost of travel as a barrier for both sponsors in the United States and the displaced families they are supporting through humanitarian sponsorship. [Emphasis added]
With the average cost of a single flight at $1,600, public donations through our partner Miles4Migrants will help provide a lifeline to newcomers, giving them the opportunity to safely travel to their new communities. Donate below to help newcomers access safe travel. [Emphasis added]
The NGO’s flights for migrants are meant to complement a program created by President Joe Biden’s administration this year where 360,000 migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela, and Nicaragua will be admitted to the United States annually via an expansive parole pipeline which has already helped release about a million migrants into American communities from 2021 to 2022.
During a Senate committee hearing this week, Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) estimated that the Biden administration has welcomed close to five million border crossers and illegal aliens to the United States since taking office in early 2021. This figure includes those released into the U.S. interior, known got-aways, and unknown got-aways.

Biden’s Border Flood: 180,000 More Migrants in March
President Joe Biden’s deputies accepted roughly 180,000 more illegal migrants in March to take jobs and homes that would otherwise go to better-paid Americans.
The March inflow brings Biden’s total southern inflow to roughly 4.3 million — or more than one migrant for every American born in 2022. That massive inflow spikes Wall Street by cutting Americans’ wages, inflating housing prices, and shifting new jobs and wealth to the coastal states.
The two leading GOP candidates for 2024 — Donald Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis — are promising to end the illegal migrant inflow.
Federal data released on April 17 shows that 162,317 illegal migrants were arrested at the border in March by the border agents.
Biden’s deputies rejected 90,000 of the migrants under the Title 42 border barrier, which is due to expire on May 11. They allowed 104,238 migrants into the United States to take jobs while they plead for asylum.

MAYORKAS IS DOING EXACTLY WHAT BIDEN WANTS HIM TO DO: FLOOD THE COUNTRY WITH NEW DEMS WHO WILL KEEP WAGES DEPRESSED.
Rep. Mark Green Reveals Alejandro Mayorkas Impeachment Charges
Border chief Alejandro Mayorkas should be impeached for refusing to enforce Congress’ border laws, said Rep. Mark Green (R-TN), the GOP chairman of the House homeland security committee.
Green laid out the charges during a morning hearing on April 19, as Democrats defended Mayorkas with a fog of praise and pleas for more migration into the jobs and homes needed by Americans:
Mr. Secretary, you took an oath where you swore to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, and to faithfully discharge the duties of the office. Your job is to protect the homeland. And one of those obvious duties is to secure the United States’ sovereign borders and to implement the laws duly passed by Congress.
However, you have not secured our borders, Mr. Secretary, and I believe you have done so intentionally.
There is no other explanation for the systematic dismantling and transformation of our border into a lawless and dangerous open border.
You’ve asserted in the past that it’s an issue of resources. But the numbers show a very different story. In just the two years of your tenure, more people have crossed our southern border into the United States than in the previous 12 years of two administrations combined.

Watch Live: House GOP Grill DHS Mayorkas for Impeachment Push
Rep. Mark Green (R-TN) is grilling President Joe Biden’s border chief on Wednesday about his refusal to enforce the laws that protect Americans from the invited flood of wage-cutting, rent-spiking economic migrants.
Green chairs the House’s homeland security committee, and is playing a central role in the GOP effort to impeach Alejandro Mayorkas, Biden’s pro-migration, Cuban-born border chief.
Green’s effort to build a case for impeachment of Mayorkas is being backed up by other GOP members, including Rep. Clay Huggins (R-LA).
“We’re done, done, done with your lies,” Higgins said.
Mayorkas is a pro-migration zealot. who has said his border management is “all about achieving equity, which is really the core founding principle of our country.” Mayorkas’ demands imply equity between U.S. citizens and foreign citizens, and he has opened many loopholes for millions of economic migrants to cross into the United States.
Amid the massive inflow of some two million global economic migrants in 2022, Mayorkas insists the border is “secure,” and rejects criticism of his deadly, elite-backed wealth-shifting policies.
“We cannot have the rights and the needs of individuals who are seeing humanitarian relief in the United States be exploited for political purposes,” he told ABC News on January 1.

Texas Border RancherIn recent months, Mayorkas has sketched out his plan to convert the U.S. government’s complex, chaotic, and obscure migration system into an explicit labor-delivery system for employers and investors. On December 13, for example, Mayorkas told ElPasoMatters.org:
Our immigration system as a whole is broken. It hasn’t been updated or reformed in more than 40 years. We look to our partner to the north that has a much more nimble immigration system that can be retooled to the needs at the moment. For example, Canada is in need of 1 million workers and they have agreed that in 2023, they will admit 1.4 million … immigrants to fill that labor need that Canadians themselves cannot. We are stuck in antiquated laws that do not meet our current needs. And they haven’t been working for many, many years.
Democrats are defending Mayorkas’ policies which have admitted more than 4 million illegal migrants through the southern border.
Congressman to Mayorkas: 'You Have Brought Generational Trauma Upon Our Country'
House Republicans savage Biden's embattled DHS secretary
House Republicans accused Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas of facilitating the largest border crisis in U.S. history as well as lying under oath during a nearly four-hour House Committee on Homeland Security hearing on Wednesday.
Republicans pointed to the tens of thousands of pounds of fentanyl that have crossed the border as well as the continued surge in illegal immigration at the southern border since Mayorkas has been in charge.
"Ultimately, your oath requires you to secure our nation's sovereign border with Mexico and do anything necessary to stop the Mexican cartels from trafficking endless wave upon human wave of illegals into America," said Rep. Clay Higgins (R., La.). "Graveyards [are] filled from sea to shining sea with the bodies of American sons and daughters, dead from fentanyl. You have brought generational trauma upon our country."
Although the hearing was ostensibly about President Joe Biden's 2024 budget, future impeachment proceedings against Mayorkas loomed in the background. Mayorkas has been a top target in the Biden administration for Republicans, who pledged to impeach him after winning their House majority in 2022. Hours before Mayorkas appeared before the House, the New York Times reported that Rep. Mark Green (R., Tenn.), who chairs the Homeland Security Committee, told donors earlier this month that the House plans to file charges against Mayorkas in the near future. Republican leadership has thus far been mum on a timeline for Mayorkas's impeachment.
During the hearing, House Republicans repeatedly accused Mayorkas of losing "operational control" of the southern border, a phrase that gives a window into how Republicans will structure future impeachment proceedings. Under the 2006 Secure Fence Act, DHS must oversee "operational control," meaning the agency must prevent the unlawful entry of illegal immigrants and narcotics into the United States.
"[You were asked] under oath in the United States Congress if you had operational control … and you said, 'I do,'" Green said. "That is a false statement."
Republicans pointed to remarks made by Border Patrol chief Raul Ortiz last month that contradicted Mayorkas's assessment of the border. During a House hearing on immigration held in Texas, Ortiz said law enforcement lacks "operational control" of the southern border, much of which is controlled by "the cartels."
That assessment, Republicans charge, means that Mayorkas perjured himself in April 2022 when he testified that DHS has "operational control" of the southern border. In subsequent interviews and testimony, Mayorkas has been more vague on the topic. On Tuesday, Mayorkas said no administration has met the "operational control standard."
DHS did not respond to a request for comment.
Since Mayorkas took office, authorities have recorded approximately 5.5 million southern border crossings. Of those, nearly 400,000 unaccompanied have been alien children. Fentanyl seizures have also hit record highs as more than 100,000 Americans died from overdoses in 2021.
There are "1.2 million [illegal aliens] who have orders of removal, and yet your agency only removed 70,000 last year," said Rep. Michael Guest (R., Miss.). "I think that your agency is not enforcing the law, Mr. Mayorkas."
Mayorkas's hearing came on the heels of a Times report detailing an explosion of alien child labor across the United States since Biden took office. Since 2021, authorities have lost contact with more than 85,000 alien children who have been released from federal custody.
That report prompted a number of Republican senators during a separate hearing on Monday to call for Mayorkas's removal. Sen. Josh Hawley (R., Mo.) accused the secretary's policies of helping facilitate tens of thousands of alien children "to work as slaves."
Mayorkas has said on numerous occasions that he has no plans of stepping down from his post, despite Republican demands. The White House has also defended Mayorkas from attacks, with press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre praising his "real, lasting, and meaningful reform" of the immigration system.
During his Wednesday testimony, Mayorkas shrugged off Republican concerns about border security. Instead, he sought to assure committee members that the Biden administration policies are working as intended.
"It is my testimony that the border is secure and we are working every day, day and night, to increase its security," Mayorkas said. "The challenges that we are experiencing at the border cannot be overstated."

Exclusive – Trump Endorses Using Military to Crush Cartels: ‘I Would Do That’
INDIANAPOLIS, Indiana — Former President Donald Trump told Breitbart News exclusively that he supports a proposal from Reps. Michael Waltz (R-FL) and Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) that would authorize the use of military force against Mexican drug cartels to target the criminal enterprises and dismantle them.
“I would do that,” Trump said when asked about the congressmen’s Authorization for the Use of Military Force (AUMF) legislation that they have recently proposed.

Trump had earlier this year released a policy video in which he explained he supported using the military to target the cartels, but this is the first time he has weighed in on the specific proposal before Congress to do so. In response to Waltz’s AUMF plan, Mexican president Andrés Manuel López Obrador has said he opposes it and even threatened to interfere in U.S. elections to help Democrats and oppose Republicans in response to it.
“In addition to being irresponsible, it is an offense to the people of Mexico,” Lopez Obrador said in March.
Trump, in his exclusive interview here with Breitbart News last week after his speech at the National Rifle Association (NRA) annual gathering, noted that he does in fact have a good relationship with Lopez Obrador.
Trump called Lopez Obrador a “gentleman,” even though he is a “socialist” and argued that if elected back to the White House he believes he would be able to work with the Mexican leader to crush the cartels and use U.S. military assets to help.

“I also have a very good relationship with the president of Mexico,” Trump told Breitbart News. “He’s a socialist but he also happens to be a gentleman. You can’t have everything, right? But he’s a great person. Certainly, I would deal with him. This is an invasion of our country — this isn’t just people walking over. This is an invasion. Many of these are people we do not want in our country. They’re very bad for our country. They’re very bad and dangerous. But this is an invasion of our country. Nope, we will stop it and we will stop it immediately.”
Trump is right that he and Lopez Obrador had a decent working relationship when he was president. In fact, that relationship was the foundation for one of Trump’s most consequential policies, the Remain-in-Mexico plan, which had asylum seekers stay on the other side of the border while their claims were processed rather than being released into the United States as current Democrat President Joe Biden is doing by the millions.
Waltz, in an exclusive interview last month at the House GOP conference retreat in Orlando, told Breitbart News that what his AUMF would open up is the use of military resources like space and cyber assets.
“It essentially authorizes military resources,” Waltz said. “So, space assets for targeting. Your Border Patrol — our law enforcement and border entities don’t have their own space assets. The military does. Offensive cyber — as opposed to just defending our networks here at home, but actually getting inside somebody else’s networks and start disrupting their money, their logistics, their ability to communicate. That all sits inside the Defense Department. So, this would authorize the use — this would authorize the use of military force, but I think it’s more accurate to call it resources.”

Waltz added then too that there could be some limited U.S. special forces strikes against cartel leadership under the AUMF proposal, but it would not amount to an invasion of Mexico.
“We’re not talking about an invasion of Mexico. That’s just a bunch of nonsense,” Waltz also said. “Could we be talking about very selective special operations targeting of key personnel or kill/capture? Yes, absolutely. Again, we got to begin thinking about them differently. In the 90s, we were running around the world trying to arrest Al Qaeda. After 9/11, we were killing or capturing Al Qaeda. So that is the mindset and that is the actual authorization from Congress we’re trying to get passed for the administration.”
Waltz during that interview compared his proposal to something that former Democrat President Bill Clinton did with the Colombian government in the 1990s to use the U.S. military to help dismantle two major Colombian cartels. That mission, titled Plan Colombia, saw the U.S. military cooperating with the Colombian government to successfully destroy the Cali and the Medellin cartels.
Asked about that comparison that Waltz made back to Plan Colombia during the Clinton years, Trump told Breitbart News that “absolutely” he could see something like that with Lopez Obrador and Mexico if he’s back in the White House. Trump also noted that many people streaming across the border are sick or susceptible to spreading serious diseases, something recent statistics confirm. As Breitbart News reported this week, for instance, more than half of the border crossers brought to New York City are not vaccinated against polio.

Not all, but many, and they’re coming in from prisons and mental institutions. These countries are doing it. I had it stopped. I had it totally stopped. If other countries wouldn’t do it, we weren’t going to give them any money. We give a lot of money to these countries. I would have that stopped immediately and we would bring people out. But absolutely, this is an invasion. We have soldiers coming into our country. They’re making people sick. Many of these people are sick with very contagious disease and they’re spreading this all over our country. This is an invasion of our country. It has to stop. So if somebody is talking about military, I certainly wouldn’t rule that out.”
