More Lies Amidst Biden’s Border Catastrophe
Legislative fix urgently needed.
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has outdone herself with a preposterous whopper regarding the consequences of the Biden administration’s disastrous immigration policies. On May 1st during her regular press briefing, she credited President Biden’s “actions” with bringing down illegal immigration “by more than 90 percent.”
Of course, the precise opposite is the case. On the very same day the White House press secretary made her outrageous claim, U.S. Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz reported that in the previous 72 hours alone there were 22,220 apprehensions. These included one convicted murderer, two sex offenders, and one gang member. Two agents were assaulted.
Statistics published by the U.S Customs and Border Protection (CBP) show that CBP apprehended illegal migrants crossing into the country a record 2,378,944 times in fiscal year 2022. This figure represents a more than 30 percent jump from the 1,734,686 apprehensions for fiscal year 2021. The situation is getting worse for fiscal year 2023. And law enforcement authorities are bracing for the expected surge of hundreds of thousands more illegal immigrants waiting for the Title 42 health emergency order to expire on May 11th before trying to enter the country.
Add to these totals the 1.2 million illegal migrants who eluded authorities altogether after crossing the border since President Biden took office, as reported by Fox News in January 2023 based on CBP sources. More than three months since that report, the number of such “gotaways” has surely climbed considerably.
None of the White House correspondents saw fit to immediately challenge Ms. Jean-Pierre on her appalling lie that President Biden’s actions have brought illegal immigration down “by more than 90 percent.” When Peter Doocy from Fox News did question the White House spinner-in-chief about her claim the next day, Ms. Jean-Pierre got snarky at first. After telling Mr. Doocy to bring down “the dramatics,” Ms. Jean-Pierre tried to worm her way out of the embarrassing spot she had put herself in. Her tactic was to put the onus on Mr. Doocy for not understanding what she really meant.
Ms. Jean-Pierre said her 90 percent figure referred to the far lower number of illegal immigrants coming from Venezuela, Nicaragua, Haiti, and Cuba following the Biden administration’s announcement of a “parolee” program specifically applying to these four countries.
This program permits up to 30,000 people per month, who supposedly have an eligible sponsor and presumably pass vetting checks, to come to the United States for a period of two years and receive work authorization. The way the program is supposed to work is for migrants from these countries to make appointments through a mobile application known as CBP One before entering the country. Those who do not follow this process and try to enter the country illegally are subject to expulsion.
“So I was speaking to the parolee program,” Ms. Jean-Pierre said. “As you know, the President put in place a parolee program to deal with — to deal with certain countries on — on ways that we can limit illegal migration. And we have seen — the data has shown us that it has gone down by more than 90 percent. That was what I was speaking to.”
Even Press Secretary Jean-Pierre’s lame attempt to clean up what she had said on May 1st is misleading because she left out some key facts. No wonder the White House mouthpiece cut Peter Doocy off when he tried to ask a follow-up question.
Bill Melugin, a Fox News correspondent with plenty of experience reporting extensively from the U.S. Southwest Border, wrote a tweet that fills in the blanks: “There was a window of time earlier this year where encounters with Venezuelans, Nicaraguans, and Cubans did temporarily dip 90% after a policy change, but other countries, like China, shot up over 800%. Illegal crossings, including Venezuelans, back at peak highs now.”
Moreover, it turns out that “Venezuelan border crossers have been living for years, safely, happily and prosperously in other countries” according to Todd Bensman, the author of “Overrun: How Joe Biden Unleashed the Greatest Border Crisis in U.S. History.” Mr. Bensman personally met and spoke with Venezuelans who have lived safely for years in such countries. Yet, with the intention to make bogus asylum claims, they are seeking to enter the U.S. for even better economic opportunities, not to escape persecution.
“This fact means a massive fraud is underway as Venezuelans become a main feature of an expected mass rush on the border after the midnight May 11 demise of the pandemic-era Title 42 rapid-expulsion policy that has been holding some back,” Mr. Bensman wrote.
The White House press secretary is amplifying the Biden administration’s repeated lies about its failed open border, catch and release immigration policies. The administration is doing everything it can to hide the fact that it is utterly unprepared for the mass rush to come.
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has consistently made the patently false claim that the border is “secure,” and has testified that the U.S. has “operational control” of the border. Contradicting Mayorkas, however, Border Patrol Chief Ortiz testified last March that that the United States does not have operational control at the southern border.
U.S. District Judge Thomas Kent Wetherell II recently wrote a scathing opinion criticizing the Biden administration’s reversal of key Trump-era border protection policies. He described the Biden administration’s actions as “akin to posting a flashing ‘come in, we’re open’ sign at the southern border.”
The Biden administration, Judge Wetherell added, has “effectively turned the Southwest Border into a meaningless line in the sand and little more than a speed bump for aliens flooding into the country by prioritizing ‘alternatives to detention’ over actual detention and by releasing more than a million aliens into the country…without even initiating removal proceedings.”
The judge delivered his dire assessment before the expiration of Title 42 expulsion authority. As many as 700,000 migrants have been waiting in shelters in Mexico to come into the United States once Title 42 expires, according to a report in the World Tribune. The article referenced in this regard a warning by the DHS to the Yuma County Board of Supervisors. The warning also noted Border Patrol intelligence that they have observed a “500 percent surge in people crossing over” the Darian Gap at the Panama Canal “on their way up to the United States.”
The Biden administration is floundering as the expiration of Title 42 looms. The Defense Department has announced an increase of 1,500 military personnel to supplement U.S. Customs and Border Protection efforts on the U.S. Southwest Border. But they will be doing administrative work such as data entry and warehouse support so that CBP can devote more of its resources to the Biden administration’s number one priority – processing new arrivals before letting most of them go until their amnesty hearings.
The Biden administration is passing the buck, blaming congressional inaction for what they still describe as a “challenge” at the border, not the catastrophe that President Biden’s open border, catch and release policies have unleashed.
“We need legislative reform,” Secretary Mayorkas said during his April 30th appearance on NBC’s Meet the Press.
We sure do but the Biden administration’s ludicrous idea of legislative reform is to grant amnesty to most of the millions of illegal immigrants already in the country and open the floodgates to millions more.
The House Republican majority, not surprisingly, wants to solve the border crisis, not make it even worse. They are proposing a package of legislative fixes to turn around the utter chaos that the Biden administration’s reckless immigration policies have created.
The House Judiciary Committee has approved a bill (H.R. 2640) that would close major loopholes in the asylum process that illegal immigrants have exploited. For example, H.R. 2640 narrows the grounds for which asylum may be granted in the first place by focusing eligibility on persecution or a well-founded fear of persecution primarily from a government-affiliated entity. Domestic abuse and fears of violence from criminal street gangs would not count.
H.R. 2640 expands the types of crimes that may make an individual ineligible for asylum. The bill calls for rejecting requests from asylum seekers for protection at a U.S. border who did not take advantage of asylum opportunities in a third country deemed safe through which they traveled en route to the U.S.
H.R. 2640 also puts an end to catch and release, requiring instead that asylum claimants waiting for the adjudication of their claims be detained or await the adjudication of their claims in Mexico.
The House Homeland Security Committee has moved along companion legislation that focuses on border security through such measures as increasing Border Patrol hiring to enforce the immigration laws, not process amnesty claims, and resuming border wall construction.
The gaping amnesty loopholes must be closed. Strict deterrence measures must be codified into law that end catch and release. And the border must be fully secured with enhanced law enforcement resources and completion of the border wall. Otherwise, post-Title 42, the American people will suffer the consequences of an even more catastrophic invasion of illegal immigrants into the United States that President Biden has set into motion.

Mexico’s President Slams Ron DeSantis for Migration Curbs
Mexico’s president slammed Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Monday just hours before a phone meeting with President Joe Biden scheduled for Tuesday.
The criticism came because DeSantis prodded the state legislature to adopt migration reforms, including laws that curb the inflow of illegal workers into blue-collar jobs that can be done by Americans — including by Latino Americans.
“Now I found out that the Florida governor — imagine, Florida, which is full of migrants! — is taking repressive, inhumane measures against migrants in Florida because he wants to be a [presidential] candidate,” said Mexico’s president, Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO). He added:
Why does [DeSantis] have to take advantage of people’s pain, of migrants’ pain, of people’s need for political gain? … This is immoral — this is politicking.
The complaints were spotlighted by Politico.
In contrast, Obrador praised his dealmaking with Biden as he revealed that he would talk Tuesday morning with Biden.
“We will continue talking about the cooperation we have, which is very, very good and which we will maintain,” he said, according to a report by TheHill.com.
Obrador and Biden have announced deals to stabilize — but not stop or reduce — the huge flow of wage-cutting economic migrants through Mexico into U.S. jobs and housing.
In Florida, DeSantis’ new reforms include penalties for transporting illegal migrants into the state, as well as a law requiring more companies to use E-Verify. The E-Verify system allows employers to easily confirm that job seekers are not illegals.
The E-Verify rule is opposed by many business groups who prefer to hire cheap, diligent, and compliant illegals. Much of the illegal hiring is done via subcontractors that protect the major U.S. companies from penalties.
On May 7, the scale of the corruption problem was exposed when illegals — and likely, some sympathetic legal workers — walked off a construction site in Florida:
The post-1990 inflow of illegal migrants in middle-class U.S. construction jobs slashed Americans’ wages, pushed huge numbers of Americans out of good jobs, and deterred many younger Americans from entering the unstable sector.
In 2018, an inspector for California agencies explained how Americans were pushed out of the blue-collar construction sector:
In the 80’s and early 90’s when I was a contractor, it wasn’t unusual to see undocumented workers doing landscaping, demolition, then it became roofing, and concrete work. So the heavier, more difficult, and dirtier sort of trades where you actually got in the ditches were the first trades to be taken over [by illegal aliens]. Then the rest of them began to fall. The drywall was next, painting, framing was the last, and now electrical and plumbing has been taken over. All the trades finally went to the illegal immigrants.
Decades later, millions of Americans remained mired in poverty and drugs.
A 2020 report funded by a pro-migration group reported E-Verify would help narrow the income gap between the least-educated and better-educated American workers, said a report funded by a pro-migration business group.
Mexico’s president is a Latino ethnic nationalist who wants to help more Latinos from Central America migrate to his northern neighbor, the United States.
Biden has welcomed that goal. “Look, all of you know all of us in the United States are immigrants,” Biden said. “Mine go all the way back to the Irish famine,” Biden told a January 10 press conference with AMLO and Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Biden added:
At the top of our shared agenda today is keeping North America the most competitive, prosperous, and resilient economic region of the world … [and creating] pathways for immigrants from Nicaragua, Cuba, and Haiti that were seeking a better life here in the United States of America.
AMLO also asked Biden to amnesty Mexican illegal migrants:
I fully trust President Biden … I’ve asked President Biden to insist before the U.S. Congress to regularize the migration situations of millions of Mexicans who have been in the States working, living in the United States, and contributing to the development of that great nation, which is the United States of America.
“Just imagine: There are 40 million Mexicans in the United States — 40 million [including people] who were born here in Mexico, [or] who are the children of people who were born in Mexico,” he gushed.
But AMLO also used the press conference to celebrate economic growth for Mexicans:
The [Mexican government] budget is used for development and supporting the poorest sectors of our [Mexican] population. Today, we not only have jobs, employment, we have seen reductions in violence. We have less [em]migration as well … what we can see is this flame — this flame which is alive. I’m talking about the flame of hope.
On May 8, as he criticized DeSantis, AMLO also lashed at Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, who pressure Mexican policy to curb migration. Abbott’s power comes from his ability to slow up cross-border trade by stringently enforcing state safety rules.

White House Deal with Mexico: More Migrants, Less Video

8:34
A White House official has signed a border management deal with Mexico to minimize the visibility of accelerating mass illegal migration once officials lift the Title 42 barrier that now protects Americans.
The deal is not intended to block labor migration into Americans’ workplaces and neighborhoods, said Rosemary Jenks, the director of Government Relations for NumbersUSA: “It’s all designed to mask what is the intended goal of the Biden administration — which is to bring in as many people as possible.”
The administration’s same-day announcement that it sending 1,500 troops to the border “is all part of that distraction,” she added. The troops will be “pushing paper and stocking warehouses” to help Biden’s border agents and its progressive non-profit register more migrants for flights and bus trips to Americans’ cities and towns.
The deal with Mexico cooperation helps Biden’s deputies quietly funnel the chaotic and growing flood of illegal, job-seeking migrants through hidden side doors in the border, she said:
You no longer have videos of hundreds of people streaming across the Rio Grande [because] people are being flown in on taxpayer dollars, [and] poor people are coming through the ports of entry — again, with no legal right to be there — so that it doesn’t look like chaos …. [But] the end result is exactly the same: A massive number of people with no right to be here coming into the United States, using taxpayer dollars, taking taxpayer-funded services, competing for housing, competing for jobs, all of the rest of it.
Officials are already inviting up to 30,000 migrants per month to fly from four countries into airports around the United States. They are also helping to bus roughly 25,000 migrants from shelters in Mexico to border sites for quiet catch-and-release processing.
“It is stunning, the lawlessness of this administration,” she added. “They just create these programs out of whole cloth … — these people are making their own laws and nobody’s stopping them.”
The Biden policies are facing legal review in a federal court in Texas, and the U.S. Supreme Court is expected to issue a decision by June.
Understandably, Mexico is using its power over the border flow to extract rewards from the U.S. government, she said.
“Mexico has power over the United States,” said Jenks. “Mexico is letting all of these people in through its borders, and it’s doing that very intentionally [because it has the power to] stop it, or … increase the flow.”
For example, Mexico steered up to 30,000 Haitian migrants to the Del Rio crossing in Texas in September 2021. The event was a shock to the Biden administration because the migrant flood was broadcast on the evening TV news to the many Americans who do not monitor political news.
“Mexico has no reason to agree to this [deal] if they’re not getting something of equal value or more value in exchange –I just don’t know what that is,” Jenks said.
The deal “consolidates Mexico’s role as the lynchpin in the US’ migration containment strategy,” said Mexican journalist, José DÃaz Briseño.
The strategy is sometimes called. “border externalization,” because it allows White House officials — and their business allies — to quietly sign deals with foreign countries instead of openly negotiating with a divided Congress and hostile voters.
Mexico’s president, Lopez Obrador, is using his power over the U.S. border to minimize U.S. protests while he expands authoritarian rule in Mexico, said a tweet by author David Frum.
Obarado has long sought to swap border cooperation in exchange for more Mexicans and Latinos getting U.S. jobs that otherwise would go to Americans.
The White House’s official statement revealed little about the deal.
For example, it said, “Mexico will continue to accept back migrants on humanitarian grounds” without revealing the monthly cap on return. The current cap is just 30,000, which is far below the monthly arrival of more than 180,000 in April.
The statement does not discuss curbs on the flow of drugs into the United States, which now kill roughly 100,000 Americans each year.
The statement does not talk about the rising flood of global migrants from Chile, Colombia, India, China, Brazil, Cameroon, Nepal, Russia, and more than 150 other countries. Under Biden’s policies, very few migrants from those countries are being sent home. This passive policy ensures that successful migrants will summon many more migrants from their home countries.
Biden’s deputies want to import more foreigners for the jobs and homes that would otherwise go to Americans. For example, the pro-migration border chief, Alejandro Mayorkas, said on April 21:
Our model is as follows: Build lawful pathways, cut out the smugglers who exploit these vulnerable individuals. Build lawful pathways, give individuals an opportunity to reach the United States safely in an orderly way to avail themselves of the humanitarian relief our laws provide.
The White House statement did say that U.S. officials also plan to import another 100,000 poor migrants from Central America. The lucky migrants are the left-behind children of migrants who illegally sneaked into the U.S. economy.
The new pipeline comes after officials announced they would open two pipelines from Colombia and Panama, even as they expand many other inflows of migrants and visa workers.
“Everything that the Biden administration does has the effect of bringing more people into the United States who should not be here and do not have a right to be here,” said Jenks
In 1990, Congress set current immigration levels at about one million per year, alongside a flow of temporary workers for favored interest groups, including farmers, resort operators, and Fortune 500 companies. Those high caps provide roughly one immigrant for every four U.S. births but helped limit the migration-imposed damage to Americans’ national labor and housing markets.
Biden’s cooperation with other countries, and the establishment media, helped minimize the public recognition and response to Biden’s population policy. “They got away with [an inflow of] 4.5, to 6 million people over the last two years,” she said.
Despite the massive inflow, Biden’s deputies and their allies are portraying his border policies as a return to the l0w migraiton rules set by President Donald Trump and his deputies.
Extraction Migration
The federal government has long operated an unpopular economic policy of Extraction Migration. This colonialism-like policy extracts vast amounts of human resources from needy countries, reduces beneficial trade, and uses the imported workers, renters, and consumers to grow Wall Street and the economy.
The migrant inflow has successfully forced down Americans’ wages and also boosted rents and housing prices. The inflow has also pushed many native-born Americans out of careers in a wide variety of business sectors and contributed to the rising death rate of poor Americans.
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 the population replacement allows elites to divorce themselves from the needs and interests of ordinary Americans.
In many speeches, Mayorkas says he is building a mass migration system to deliver workers to wealthy employers and investors and “equity” to poor foreigners. The nation’s border laws are subordinate to elite opinion about “the values of our country,” Mayorkas claims.
Migration — and especially, labor migration — is unpopular among swing voters. A 54 percent majority of Americans say Biden is allowing a southern border invasion, according to an August 2022 poll commissioned by the left-of-center National Public Radio (NPR). The 54 percent “Invasion” majority included 76 percent of Republicans, 46 percent of independents, and even 40 percent of Democrats.
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."
Jean-Pierre: Joe Biden Would Veto Border Security Bill
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre reiterated Monday that President Joe Biden would veto House bill H.R.2 if given the chance.
House Republicans will vote Thursday on H.R.2, a bill to codify some of former President Trump’s strictest border actions.
If the Senate approves the measure, Biden would have an opportunity to secure the southern border, where millions of migrants are expected to invade upon the lifting of Title 42.
But Jean-Pierre said the measure would be dead on arrival. “If the president were presented with H.R. 2 he would veto it,” she stated.
WATCH: Texas Gov. Abbott: Biden’s Ending of Title 42 Will Lead to 4.7M Illegal Border Crossings a Year:
Office of the Governor Greg AbbottThe White House had previously announced the veto threat Monday.
“While we welcome Congress’ engagement on meaningful steps to address immigration and the challenges at the border, this bill would make things worse, not better,” a statement from the White House Office of Management and Budget said. “Because this bill does very little to actually increase border security while doing a great deal to trample on the nation’s core values and international obligations, it should be rejected.”
H.R. 2 is scheduled for a House vote on the same day that Title 42 — a Trump-era policy to be terminated under Biden. Title 42 has ensured that federal immigration officials have been able to quickly return millions of illegal migrants to Mexico over the last three years.
WATCH: Gov. Abbott Announces “Texas Tactical Border Force” to Address Expected Illegal Immigrant Surge:
Office of the Governor Greg AbbottAs Title 42 expires, H.R.2 would codify many border security initiatives, including the “Remain in Mexico” program that mandates migrants seek asylum in Mexico until a U.S. immigration court date.
The bill would also resume border wall construction, designate money to improve border security, and block taxpayer funds from being given to NGOs that work to help migrants become legal aliens.

OPEN BORDERS = GIVE YOUR JOB TO AN ILLEGAL WHO WILL WORK CHEAPER IS PART OF THE DEMOCRATS' DESTRUCTION OF AMERICA AND THE RISE OF GLOBALISM
Our young people have been and are being radicalized and propagandized daily. Supporting all this are the Democrats of today, and their DSA allies. They are a united front committed to transforming and gutting America from the inside out. Destroy the middle class, render impotent parental rights, isolate the church as a spewer of hate and intolerance, render ineffective the rule of law, demean the history and the Constitution of these United States. In concert with global elites, the media elite, and the toxic leftist bilge that is constantly oozing from their seats of power, they are doing just that.
From the L Word to Cultural Marxism
During the 1988 presidential campaign, then vice-president George H.W. Bush labelled his counterpart Governor Michael Dukakis of Massachusetts in pejorative fashion with the ‘L’ word, or ‘liberal.’ To be deemed a liberal during that era to many meant you would be perceived as being outside the mainstream, and one who was indecisive or deemed weak in foreign affairs, especially with the Soviet Union, and not a strong supporter of the military. You were most likely to support strict gun control, be seen as soft on crime, and support abortion, as Dukakis did. So negative was the connotation that most politicians of the era ran away from the moniker, with many describing themselves instead as centrists, as Bill Clinton did in 1992.
In the same fashion, throughout the 20th century in the United States, to be labelled a ‘Socialist’ would have been political suicide and would virtually automatically preclude such a candidate from winning any national office. That was the case until 2007, when Bernie Sanders won the Senate seat in Vermont as an avowed ‘Socialist.’ Sanders was not taken all that seriously by the majority in the early years of his service. However, in the democratic primaries of both the 2016 and 2020, it became plain to see that the label ‘Socialist’ was no longer considered derogatory to many Americans given the strength of his grassroots support. His voter base in both primaries revealed that much of his support were young people, aged 18-30, becoming strong contributors to his success.
Today, some sixteen years after Sanders’ election to the Senate, we have five members of Congress and over 150 state legislature officeholders nationally who describe their political delineation as that of ‘Democrat-Socialist,’ which is not a classic political party -- yet. Most contemporary democrats of any stripe do not appear to reflect the democrats of previous generations. Not too many democrats of today are espousing “Ask not what your country can do for you,” and likely advocate the opposite. But adding the term ‘Socialist’ to Democrat is not simply a play on words. It is arranged that way to soften the impact of the term ‘Socialist.’ The reality is, they are Socialists, plain and simple. From the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) website, under the page ‘What is Democratic-Socialism?’ The first line reads: ‘Capitalism is a system designed by the owning class to exploit the rest of us for their own profit.’ What tripe does that sound like? Further on it states: ‘We want to collectively own the key economic drivers that dominate our lives, such as energy production and transportation.’ One can only wonder what that really means.
Back to the Sanders surprise showing in 2016, and to a lesser extent in 2020. How did that happen? As mentioned, the lion’s share of his voters were young, 18-30. In 1984, President Ronald Reagan ran for reelection against Sen. Walter Mondale. According to 
the Roper Center at Cornell, this same age group that voted so strongly for Sanders in democratic primaries thirty-plus years later voted 61% for Reagan in the 18-24 bracket, and 57% in the 25-30 bracket. Those numbers reflect all voters in that age group, Democrat, Republican, and independents. These Baby Boomers voted decisively for the conservative, and were a part of a landslide, as Reagan garnered a full 59% of the electorate that year. It begs the question, what changed? Many Boomers had gone to universities and colleges and earned degrees. Many had seen and were aware of the protests and demonstrations of the 60s and 70s that were front page news as they grew up. Even though radicals were the drivers of the protest scene in that era, they were a minority when it came to the overall population.
So why the vast difference in political leanings 1984 to 2016? I think we can credit Marxist thinkers Antonio Gramsci and Rudi Dutschke, with their quest to undermine Western culture with the “Long March Through the Institutions” and replace them with Marxist ideals as playing a significant role. The difference was that instead of promoting failed Soviet-style economic Marxism, this new rendition would be Cultural Marxism, that is, a thrust to radically change culture by focusing on the allegedly oppressed classes, while at the same time undermining America’s institutions. By the late 1980s, this plan was in full swing in academia. New York Times writer Felicity Berringer pointed to this in an article “The Mainstreaming of Marxism in U.S. Colleges” written October 25, 1989. She wrote, “As Karl Marx’s ideological heirs in Communist nations struggle to transform his political legacy, his intellectual heirs on American campuses have virtually completed their own transformation from brash, beleaguered outsiders to assimilated academic insiders. It could be considered a success story for the students of class struggle, who were once regarded as subversives.”
John Ellis, professor at the University of Santa Cruz during this same period wrote in his 2020 book The Breakdown of Higher Education, “Radical politics was a rising force on the campuses, and we were trying to draw attention to the dangers in what was happening while there was still some chance of arresting it. But it’s now clear that we failed to stop the slide, because the political radicals on campus never had any interest in what we had to say. Their purposes were not ours. We were interested in the quality of higher education, but what they cared about was getting control of the campuses so they could use them to promote their political ideology, one so unpopular with the general public that it could not have been advanced in any other way.”
The bitter truth is that the ‘Long March’ worked! It took time, but now we face this massive challenge of how to root it out of our federal, state, and local governments, along with our military, universities, media, school boards, etc. Our young people have been and are being radicalized and propagandized daily. Supporting all this are the Democrats of today, and their DSA allies. They are a united front committed to transforming and gutting America from the inside out. Destroy the middle class, render impotent parental rights, isolate the church as a spewer of hate and intolerance, render ineffective the rule of law, demean the history and the Constitution of these United States. In concert with global elites, the media elite, and the toxic leftist bilge that is constantly oozing from their seats of power, they are doing just that.
Abraham Lincoln spoke of this potential of self-inflicted catastrophe when he said: “At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer. If it ever reach us it must spring up amongst us; it cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen we must live through all time or die by suicide.”
Which will it be? Life or death? What’s next for America?

Bring these people here and they not only need a lot of services, they are putty in the hands of leftist demogogues as Hugo Chavez demonstrated - and they are very useful as leftist voters who will support the Soros agenda.
On Monday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “José DÃaz-Balart” John Martin, who is the Director of the Opportunity Center for the Homeless in El Paso, TX stated that there is “a humanitarian crisis” in the city, “we’ve never seen the situation as critical” as it is now, and “we’re overwhelmed.” Martin also stated that they’re “expecting the worst” as Title 42 is lifted.
Martin said, “Well, the reality is that we’re overwhelmed. We’ve got several partners within the community. All of the emergency shelters are operating at or over capacity, and to give you an example of our situation with the Opportunity Center for the Homeless, we’ve got 200 inside the shelter, and we’ve had up to 810 outside the shelter camped in the alley. So, it truly is a humanitarian crisis.”
He added, “This all started for us a little over a week-and-a-half ago when we saw the influx come in, and then it’s exponentially increased. And it is prior to the lifting of Title 42, and we are expecting the worst. We are hearing numbers anywhere from 500 to 1,000 to 1,500, and it just depends upon the source that you’re talking to. The difficulty that we have is that we’ve got a mix of individuals and/or families as it relates to the processing, some of which that have gone through it, many of which that have not, and they’ve been relying on either the CBP One app or they’ve been trying to file their applications online. But most recently, we found that you’re not able to travel if you go through the online process or also what’s referred to as the pro se. So again, that means they’re staying in El Paso.”
Martin concluded, “In all honesty, even at the height of what we saw at the latter part of 2022, we’ve never seen the situation as critical as what you’ve got here.”

New York County Exec.: Adams Is Dumping Migrants on Us Without Warning Because He ‘Can’t Handle’ Being a Sanctuary City
On Monday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Your World,” Rockland County, New York Executive Ed Day (R) stated New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) didn’t warn local officials about his plan to send migrants to Rockland County and that Adams “decided he wanted [to be] a sanctuary [city], and he got it. And now he realized he bit off more than he can chew and he can’t handle it.”
Day stated, “We had to figure it out ourselves…the Mayor and the Mayor’s office were not giving any details. We had to figure out through investigation exactly where this was going to be. We figured out what hotel it was. We got information that told us how many people were coming. They consistently refused to tell us when they were coming. So, they left us no choice. We have no idea what’s happening. And I resent the fact that somehow Mayor Adams thinks he has a hold on humanity and treating people well. He’s doing these folks no favors. We actually have a very humane course of action here. We have great connections with our local not-for-profits that were at my press conference today, treating people right. What the Mayor is doing right now is taking people, trying to have New York City homeless shelters outside New York City, in direct violation of zoning laws.”
He continued, “We have a situation where the Mayor of New York decided he wanted [to be] a sanctuary [city], and he got it. And now he realized he bit off more than he can chew and he can’t handle it. So, he wants to take these poor folks and dump them wherever.”

Mexico’s President Slams Ron DeSantis for Migration Curbs
Mexico’s president slammed Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Monday just hours before a phone meeting with President Joe Biden scheduled for Tuesday.
The criticism came because DeSantis prodded the state legislature to adopt migration reforms, including laws that curb the inflow of illegal workers into blue-collar jobs that can be done by Americans — including by Latino Americans.
“Now I found out that the Florida governor — imagine, Florida, which is full of migrants! — is taking repressive, inhumane measures against migrants in Florida because he wants to be a [presidential] candidate,” said Mexico’s president, Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO). He added:
Why does [DeSantis] have to take advantage of people’s pain, of migrants’ pain, of people’s need for political gain? … This is immoral — this is politicking.
The complaints were spotlighted by Politico.
In contrast, Obrador praised his dealmaking with Biden as he revealed that he would talk Tuesday morning with Biden.
“We will continue talking about the cooperation we have, which is very, very good and which we will maintain,” he said, according to a report by TheHill.com.

Obrador and Biden have announced deals to stabilize — but not stop or reduce — the huge flow of wage-cutting economic migrants through Mexico into U.S. jobs and housing.
In Florida, DeSantis’ new reforms include penalties for transporting illegal migrants into the state, as well as a law requiring more companies to use E-Verify. The E-Verify system allows employers to easily confirm that job seekers are not illegals.
The E-Verify rule is opposed by many business groups who prefer to hire cheap, diligent, and compliant illegals. Much of the illegal hiring is done via subcontractors that protect the major U.S. companies from penalties.
On May 7, the scale of the corruption problem was exposed when illegals — and likely, some sympathetic legal workers — walked off a construction site in Florida:
The post-1990 inflow of illegal migrants in middle-class U.S. construction jobs slashed Americans’ wages, pushed huge numbers of Americans out of good jobs, and deterred many younger Americans from entering the unstable sector.
In 2018, an inspector for California agencies explained how Americans were pushed out of the blue-collar construction sector:
In the 80’s and early 90’s when I was a contractor, it wasn’t unusual to see undocumented workers doing landscaping, demolition, then it became roofing, and concrete work. So the heavier, more difficult, and dirtier sort of trades where you actually got in the ditches were the first trades to be taken over [by illegal aliens]. Then the rest of them began to fall. The drywall was next, painting, framing was the last, and now electrical and plumbing has been taken over. All the trades finally went to the illegal immigrants.
Decades later, millions of Americans remained mired in poverty and drugs.
A 2020 report funded by a pro-migration group reported E-Verify would help narrow the income gap between the least-educated and better-educated American workers, said a report funded by a pro-migration business group.
Mexico’s president is a Latino ethnic nationalist who wants to help more Latinos from Central America migrate to his northern neighbor, the United States.
Biden has welcomed that goal. “Look, all of you know all of us in the United States are immigrants,” Biden said. “Mine go all the way back to the Irish famine,” Biden told a January 10 press conference with AMLO and Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Biden added:
At the top of our shared agenda today is keeping North America the most competitive, prosperous, and resilient economic region of the world … [and creating] pathways for immigrants from Nicaragua, Cuba, and Haiti that were seeking a better life here in the United States of America.
AMLO also asked Biden to amnesty Mexican illegal migrants:
I fully trust President Biden … I’ve asked President Biden to insist before the U.S. Congress to regularize the migration situations of millions of Mexicans who have been in the States working, living in the United States, and contributing to the development of that great nation, which is the United States of America.
“Just imagine: There are 40 million Mexicans in the United States — 40 million [including people] who were born here in Mexico, [or] who are the children of people who were born in Mexico,” he gushed.
But AMLO also used the press conference to celebrate economic growth for Mexicans:
The [Mexican government] budget is used for development and supporting the poorest sectors of our [Mexican] population. Today, we not only have jobs, employment, we have seen reductions in violence. We have less [em]migration as well … what we can see is this flame — this flame which is alive. I’m talking about the flame of hope.
On May 8, as he criticized DeSantis, AMLO also lashed at Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, who pressure Mexican policy to curb migration. Abbott’s power comes from his ability to slow up cross-border trade by stringently enforcing state safety rules.

Clinton Foundation Put On Watch List Of Suspicious ‘Charities’
http://mexicanoccupation.blogspot.com/2015/04/charity-navigator-clinton-foundation.html
"But what the Clintons do is criminal because they do it wholly at the expense of the American people. And they feel thoroughly entitled to do it: gain power, use it to enrich themselves and their friends. They are amoral, immoral, and venal. Hillary has no core beliefs beyond power and money. That should be clear to every person on the planet by now." ---- Patricia McCarthy
