America Faces No Greater Threat Than Joe Biden and the Democrat Party. Their Assault to Our Borders Is As Great As Their Assault to Free Speech and Free Elections

JOE BIDEN ON AMERICA'S HOMELESS CRISIS - FOLKS, WE MUST GIVE OUR ILLEGALS CONDOS. YOU MOVE OUT OF YOURS TOMORROW! - Migrant Shelters Overflow in Cities as Biden Ends Title 42

Evictions Double Or Triple As Rent Prices Financially Destroy Millions Of Americans
New data just revealed that eviction cases in the U.S. have jumped by almost 80% since October 2022. Official agencies report that about 13% of the U.S. population, which represents over 40 million people, is at risk of losing their homes this year amid explosive rent prices and a worrying trend among some of the country’s biggest landlords of increasing the rate of monthly evictions to boost their cash flow growth. While companies and investors worry about their bottom lines, families are losing everything, and homelessness is growing all across the country. Housing advocates say this is the cliff we’ve been warned about and things will only go downhill from here.
Corporate landlords are removing renters from homes at rates that largely surpass the typical pre-pandemic rate, a new report from the Eviction Lab at Princeton University shows. Analyzing how eviction levels changed in 32 U.S. cities over the past six months, researchers found that landlords in these areas filed about 970,000 eviction cases every month, a whopping 79% increase compared to a year prior.
In Phoenix, for example, rent prices shoot up over 25% year over year, with a median asking rent of $2,261. In Maricopa County alone, evictions are at their highest levels since at least 2016, with more than 45,000 filings so far this year. “Lately, it just seems to be all that we’ve been doing,” said Huberman, the presiding justice of the peace for Maricopa County.
Even areas experiencing less dramatic increases in rent are witnessing a rise in evictions as Americans scramble to cope with inflation. In Minneapolis, where rent increases have trended below the national average, evictions in December were 37% above their historical averages after shooting up in June, when the state lifted its eviction moratorium.
In the last quarter, the Las Vegas Justice Court head over 45,000 eviction cases, a significant rise compared to earlier years when the average was closer to 30,000 cases. In Dallas County, home to the city of Dallas, landlords filed almost 60,000 evictions in the past four months. This is not just a problem isolated to major urban centers, but also rural and industrial communities, where housing costs have been surging at an alarming pace as well. The latest analysis of weekly U.S. Census data indicates that in the absence of robust and swift intervention, an estimated 44.5 million people in America could be at risk of eviction in the next several months. That represents about 13% of the U.S. 331 million people population.
“My biggest fear is the cliff that we’ve been all anticipating is here. From here on out, it’s going to be a very, very difficult time,” highlighted Tim Thomas, research director at the Urban Displacement Project at the University of California, Berkeley. “I don’t want to be a doom and gloom person, but we’re probably about to see the worst of what’s about to happen.”
Although inflation has finally started to ease, overall economic uncertainty is still on the rise, and rents nationwide are still $800 more expensive than in 2019. Before the pandemic, the median rent in the U.S. was at $1,062. Today, it stands at $1,937. America can’t afford to wait for another major national emergency to happen to finally start taking action. People are losing the roof above their heads, and their sense of dignity and security now, so we must act now before this crisis spirals out of control.
EXCLUSIVE: Video Shows Migrants Released by Biden Admin Camping on El Paso Streets
EL PASO, Texas — Migrants recently released by the Biden administration erected makeshift structures for several blocks and alleyways around the Sacred Heart Church in downtown El Paso. The migrants sought shade as afternoon temperatures neared 100 degrees Fahrenheit on Wednesday. Breitbart Texas observed the migrants, unable to bathe for several days, searching for relief from the heat on the city’s sidewalks and business entryways.
The migrants, many from Venezuela, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, and Haiti, lay on the sidewalks of the city for three blocks surrounding the church. The migrants who spoke to Breitbart Texas said they had been living on the streets for anywhere between one and nine days after their release from Border Patrol custody.

The video above shows the crudely fashioned shade structures consisting of American Red Cross blankets, bed sheets, and cardboard in front of the church and for several blocks in the vicinity. Breitbart Texas counted more than one thousand migrants camped out in the area. Many more roamed farther from the area visiting downtown restaurants and businesses.

The scene is reminiscent of the September 2021 Haitian migrant crisis in Del Rio when nearly 20,000 mostly Haitian migrants crossed the Rio Grande and erected crudely built shelters on the banks of the river. One Dominican Republic migrant in downtown El Paso told Breitbart Texas he and most of the others camped out on the street have no money to pay for housing or travel away from the city. Jose Enrique, who is nearly 30 years old, says he will stay on the city’s streets until there is some way to get out of the border city.
As reported by Breitbart Texas, Border Patrol agents assigned to the El Paso Sector apprehended more than 41,000 migrants in April — making the sector the busiest crossing point along the southwest border. The April apprehension figure is up from the 39,512 taken into custody in March.

The city has experienced a surge in migrant crossings in recent weeks as the May 11 deadline for the expiration of the Title 42 Emergency COVID-19 expulsion authority approaches. In a recent joint press conference with Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas issued a statement concerning conditions at the border. Mayorkas told reporters “The smuggler’s propaganda is false. Let me be clear: Our border is not open and will not be open after May 11th.”
The video contradicts the Secretary’s border assessment and shows the scale of the routine DHS practice of “catch and release” for a significant number of migrants along the southwest border.
As the deadline for the sunset of the emergency COVID-19 expulsion order approaches, a similar situation is playing out in multiple border cities such as Brownsville, Texas, where released migrants are also seeking food and shelter in the downtown area.
In El Paso, a Migrant Situational Awareness Dashboard operated by the City reports Border Patrol officials released nearly 3,100 migrants during the past two weeks.

Migrant Shelters Overflow in Cities as Biden Ends Title 42
Housing shelters in major cities are filling up as foreign migrants flood into the United States.
“Chicago has long pledged to welcome migrants. But a tenfold increase in recent days has taxed resources. Migrants awaiting beds in city-run shelters are sleeping on floors in police stations and in airports surrounded by suitcases. They’re depending on donors for food, medicine and clothing,” reported ABC News.
Republicans in border states like Texas began bussing migrants to major cities like Chicago and New York last year, arguing the rest of the nation needs to share the accommodation load.

“More than 8,000 migrants have come into Chicago since August,” continued ABC News. “Some came on busses mobilized by border states; others bought their own flights or got one subsidized by aid groups. The number of new arrivals slowed this winter to about 10 people per day.”
By April, the number of migrants pouring into a city like Chicago increased from 75 to 150 people.
“Our system is over capacity,” Brandie Knazze, commissioner of the Chicago Department of Family and Support Services told city officials Friday. “Make no mistake, we are in a surge and things have yet to peak.”
At a City Hall press conference last week in New York, Deputy Mayor Anne Williams-Isoms said the city has experienced its “largest humanitarian crisis in recent memory” over the past year. According to Mayor Eric Adams, the city receives “close to 200” migrants a day while asserting that “the national government has turned its back on New York City.”
Adams said that the city anticipates spending up to $1.4 billion on “costs related to housing and caring for the asylum seeker population” in fiscal 2023 and $2.9 billion in fiscal 2024, reported the Wall Street Journal.
The crisis will likely be further inflamed by the expiration of the policy Title 42 that “allowed the expulsion of migrants on public-health grounds.” Per WSJ:
In March, U.S. Customs and Border Protection had a daily average of more than 6,000 daily encounters with migrants at the southern border. Last week Acting Commissioner Troy Miller testified to a House subcommittee that the agency expects a “surge of migrants” after May 11 and that daily encounters could reach 10,000. The city of El Paso declared a state of emergency on Monday, and on Tuesday the White House approved sending 1,500 troops to the border.
Denver officials warned this month that migrants will only be allowed access to emergency shelters if they provide a formal application to stay in the United States, according to ABC News. The city has spent upwards of $13 million to shelter and support over 6,000 migrants, many of which entered the country last summer.
Victoria Aguilar, a spokeswoman for Denver Human Services, said the crisis stems from a “lack of funding, lack of policy, lack of guidance from our federal government to be able to respond to this crisis appropriately.”

Washington, DC, the nation’s capital, has fared no better. Amy Fischer, a core organizer for Solidarity Mutual Aid Network, told WJLA said the city leaders have failed to aid in the crisis.
“The D.C. government is turning families – including families with small children, including families with disabilities – into the streets,” Fischer said. “It’s so critical for us to make sure there are no kids that are sleeping on the streets, that people have somewhere to go.”
Families and migrants turned away from D.C. shelters gathered at Mayor Bowser’s office to step up the effort.
