NAFTA JOE BIDEN - HOUSING ILLEGALS WITH A MILLION LEGALS LIVING ON THE STREET - Chicago Alderman Blasts Dangerous Conditions in Mayor’s Designated Shelters for Illegals

BIDEN AND MAYORKAS HAVE USHERED OVER THE BORDER 5 MILLION ILLEGALS CREATING THE GREATEST HOUSING CRISES IN U.S. HISTORY.

Chicago’s 42nd Ward Alderman Brendan Reilly has sent a letter to city hall warning progressive Mayor Brandon Johnson of the dangerous conditions in his shelters for illegal border crossers, including open drug use, prostitution, human waste, and other serious problems.

Reilly’s focus was on the shelter at the Inn of Chicago, a hotel located at 162 E. Ontario that former Mayor Lori Lightfoot designated a shelter for illegal aliens. The entire hotel was shut down and is now used solely for illegals, with all costs billed to city hall.

“I am writing to share the concerns my office receives daily regarding new arrivals living at the Inn of Chicago (IOC) located at 162 East Ohio Street,” Ald. Brendan Reilly wrote in his June 29 letter.

Reilly’s Chicago Ward covers most of the near north side in Chicago’s downtown area, including the Loop, the Gold Coast, River North, New Eastside, and most of the shops and areas for tourism in the Windy City.

The alderman went on to note that constituents and local business owners around the hotel are reporting some dangerous conditions inside the hotel that are spilling out into the surrounding area.

Reilly warns that his voters are expressing “concerns about migrants loitering, littering, illegally parking their vehicles, and leaving human waste on the sidewalks near the hotel.”

The alderman also noted that residents are reporting that illegals “have been seen selling narcotics and engaging in lewd activity, including possible prostitution” in and around the location.

There was also a fight in the street among a large number of illegals that ended up in police action on June 26, Reilly noted.

“My office has reported these health and public safety concerns to both former Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s office and your administration several times; unfortunately, nothing has changed,” Reilly continued in his letter.

Reilly asked for the city to send representatives of the Chicago Police Department, Family Services, and Streets and Sanitation to assess the situation and make remedies.

“I am sympathetic to the new arrivals’ situation and support Chicago being a Welcoming City; however, these are serious concerns that need to be addressed immediately,” Reilly concluded.

While this particular issue was created by the past mayor, recently elected Mayor Johnson has simply continued down the same path. Indeed, Johnson has taken heat from voters for designating even more Chicago locations as shelters for illegals, even in the face of complaints from residents.

At the end of May, Johnson settled more than 300 border crossers at Wilbur Wright College despite the objections of residents.

Last month he turned the city’s Richard J. Daley College into a shelter where around 400 border crossers and illegal aliens were sent.

However, some illegals were removed from a Chicago Police station where they were sent to shelter after officers were accused of sexually molesting at least one teen girl.

Report: ‘Dangerous’ NYC Migrant Shelters Filled with Gang Members

NEW YORK, NEW YORK - JUNE 6:Hundreds of asylum seekers line up outside of the Jacob K. Javits Federal Building on June 6, 2023 in New York City. New York City has provided sanctuary to over 46,000 asylum seekers since 2013, when the city passed a law prohibiting city agencies …

New York City’s migrant shelters are plagued with “volatile” and “dangerous” conditions, prompting a search by city officials to hire private security guards for the facilities, a report details.

Since the spring of last year, more than 84,000 border crossers and illegal aliens have arrived in New York City with about 50,000 remaining in shelters across the city, now outnumbering native New Yorkers.

Gregory Floyd with Teamsters Local 237 told the New York Post that the migrant shelters are too dangerous for the unarmed peace officers he represents. Some, Floyd said, are gang members.

“There are migrants who are gang members in these facilities,” Floyd told the Post.

“It’s volatile. It’s dangerous,” he continued. “We don’t know if all these migrants are properly vetted. My members are unarmed.”

As Breitbart News reported, more than six-in-ten border crossers and illegal aliens who have arrived in New York City since the spring of last year are living off local taxpayers in subsidized housing and shelters — including luxury hotels like the Roosevelt Hotel.

The sheer volume of border crossers and illegal aliens staying in shelters has increased the system’s population by more than 110 percent since Adams took office. To afford subsidizing new arrivals, Adams has said New Yorkers will see public services like meals for senior citizens and library hours cut.

Every day, illegal immigration is costing New Yorkers nearly $8 million, and by the middle of next year, Mayor Eric Adams predicts it will have cost more than $4.2 billion.

Empty suit, empty suites: Joe Biden's government of empty buildings

We often ask who's running the government with a White House led by doddering Joe Biden.

But with a new audit out, maybe the real question is what is the government.

According to the Washington Examiner:

The evacuation of federal headquarters during the COVID-19 crisis appears to have become permanent and costly with up to 90% of several agency headquarters empty, according to a federal audit.

At least 6 of 24 Washington area headquarters are 90% empty, including several that manage federal office space and employees such as the General Services Administration and the Office of Personnel Management.

The audit from the Government Accountability Office found that just six agencies were operating with half of their staff in the office during the first three months of 2023, the latest sign that efforts to get federal employees back into the office after the coronavirus crisis and after years of encouraging telework have failed.

The findings echo private sector reports. In Washington, private offices are less than 40% full.

Turns out the government buildings Joe Biden presides over in his expensive, bloated government are about as empty as the old dotard's head.

It's like we have a pretend president, presiding over a pretend government.

Practically every agency headquarters is something like 80% empty.

But the empty buildings still stand, as if to suggest that something had been there. Mainly, it's the illusion of power and importance.

Overall, Uncle Sam owns or leases 511 million square feet. That includes some 1,500 buildings and 7,685 leases. It costs $7 billion a year to maintain buildings and lease others, said GAO.

The auditing agency urged headquarters to consider consolidating or dumping space and to even consider joining with other agencies to share space.

But many rejected that advice. “One official said their leadership is reluctant to share headquarters space with other agencies because it could lower their perceived standing as a cabinet-level agency,” said the audit report.

One thing the audit also notes is that these empty buildings waste a lot of electricity even with no one in them. So as Joe Biden tries to shove us into green vehicles and pay more at the pump to bankroll his energy transition, he's busy burning electricity ... on nothing.

The Wall Street Journal, in an editorial on the matter, has noted that even the worst empty building problems in the private sector, such as vacant office towers in big blue-run cities, are dwarfed by the emptiness of the federal government buildings

The near-uniform emptiness across different agencies is another way the government stands out. Weekly attendance in the bottom quarter of surveyed offices is a measly 9%, and not one reported attendance above 50%. Compare that with corporate offices in New York, where average in-office attendance surpassed 50% last month, according to turnstile operator Kastle Systems.

 The question is: Why are we paying for this? If the federal government can't get its post-COVID pandemic-era employees to come back to the office, then it's time for layoffs. If the government can function as it does on 20% of its people, then maybe it's time to lay the other 80% off.

The Journal notes that Congress does have a law for getting rid of empty government office space and recovering the expense for taxpayers:

The Federal Property Management Reform Act of 2016 mandates that the executive branch create and carry out annual plans to reduce its unused space. The law was passed by a GOP Congress and signed by President Obama, but it has spurred little action. The GAO report says the law has “improved the focus on real property management,” yet concedes that “federal agencies continue to have unneeded space.”

House Republicans seeking a small victory could demand that the Office of Management and Budget enforce the law and help federal agencies shed some of their extra space. The merits of working from home may be up for debate, but there’s no need to fund empty offices from the public purse.

Which should be a good project for the House and Senate. 

Already, we know that at least some of them are trying to get something done.

Recall, for instance, that back in March, Sen. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana grilled Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra on why the parking lots were so empty at 10:30 a.m. on a weekday at many of his agency's offices, which I wrote about here:

“How many are at their desk as opposed to being at home, or someplace else, the coffee shop or whatever?” Cassidy asked Becerra, after the cabinet secretary said that the department’s employees were working full time.

“What we make sure we care about is that they’re performing and they’re delivering,” Becerra said.

There was a whiff of what the problem here was in that answer, as Becerra kept gaslighting her about all his employees performing their jobs well.

Obviously, these characters view the big buildings with their agencies' names on them as proxies for their own power and importance. That will make getting rid of these costly hulks and husks all that much harder.

But they do need to get rid of them if for nothing else to save the taxpayers money. The federal government is already overspending us into inflation, and that activity has consequences. Cutting the fat in government, and shedding the excess buildings is probably the only way to restore our economy to health. This situation is not a sign of national vigor, or growth, or anything positive -- and you can bet that nations such as China and Russia are taking note.

Congress should tell these agencies they can finance themselves through selling their excess buildings that their employees won't work in, and getting rid of those who aren't showing up to work, because they aren't going to hand them another dime until they do.

Biden Reduces Illegal Migration by Allowing in 500,000 Migrant Invaders

The CBP One app currently allows up to 529,250 migrants

I have a plan to win the drug war, let’s legalize drugs. Also, let’s end murder by legalizing murder. The mass migrant invasion at the border? That’s easy. Just legalize the invaders. That’s Biden’s plan.

And the media reports this with a straight face.

The Biden administration has welcomed over half a million migrants under programs designed to reduce illegal border entries or offer a safe haven to refugees, using a 1950s law to launch the largest expansion of legal immigration in modern U.S. history

Exciting! Finally, we can reduce illegal border entries by allowing the invaders in legally.

In less than two years, the administration has allowed at least 541,000 migrants to enter the U.S. through the immigration parole authority, which gives federal officials the power to authorize the entry of foreigners who lack visas, according to internal government statistics, court records and public reports.

The unprecedented use of the parole authority has allowed officials to divert migration away from the southern border by offering would-be migrants a legal and safe alternative to journeying to the U.S. with the help of smugglers and entering the country unlawfully

Instead of trying to stop them from invading America illegally, Biden has authorized them to invade America legally. We don’t want invaders going to the trouble of unsafely and illegally invading us when Biden can just authorize them to invade us legally and safely.

Taken together, the immigration parole programs created by the Biden administration amount to the most significant expansion of legal immigration in three decades. And to the dismay of Republican critics, the administration has done so unilaterally, without explicit consent from Congress, which has not expanded legal immigration levels since 1990 amid decades of partisan gridlock.

Congress, laws, who cares about these things? Presidents should have the authority to do any leftist thing they want, but no authority to do any conservative thing. That’s pretty simple, isn’t it?

The number of migrants paroled into the U.S. is expected to increase even further. The program powered by the CBP One app currently allows up to 529,250 migrants to be processed each year

Good news. Illegal crossings are down… because they’re now legal.

Officials, for example, have credited the CBP One app and program for Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans — as well as stricter asylum rules — for a dramatic drop in illegal crossings along the southern border in recent weeks.

Also if you create a big hole in the walls of banks, fewer people will break into the front of the bank.

The senior DHS officials said they expect migrants to leave the U.S. once their parole expires if they have not gained permanent status by applying for programs like asylum or visas for relatives of Americans.

“If they, at the end of the two years, have not found a lawful pathway in the U.S., our expectation is that we will be seeking to remove those individuals,” one official said.

Like all the millions of illegal aliens already in the United States. Is there a human being on earth dumb enough to believe this lie?

The Biden administration continues to illegally seize and wield unlimited authority to implement radical leftist goals. All of those goals, like the border invasion, add up to the destruction of America.

Biden’s DOJ Awarded $300 Million in Taxpayer Money to Sanctuary Cities

Screen Shot 2023-07-16 at 3.38.51 PM
ICE

President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice (DOJ) gave hundreds of millions in American taxpayer money to sanctuary cities, those jurisdictions protecting illegal aliens from arrest and deportation, in 2021, new data reveals.

Federal data compiled by the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) shows that in 2021, Biden’s first year in office, the DOJ awarded about $300 million to 11 sanctuary states and 86 sanctuary counties and cities that refuse to turn criminal illegal aliens over to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency for arrest and deportation.

The taxpayer money was funneled to the sanctuary jurisdictions through three DOJ grant programs: the State Criminal Alien Assistance Program (SCAAP), the Byrne Justice Assistance Grants (JAG), and the Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) program.

CIS researchers Jessica Vaughan and Nathan Desautels wrote:

The awards to sanctuaries represented more than 40 percent of the available funding under these programs. Sanctuary jurisdictions are receiving this funding despite having adopted policies to hinder cooperation between local law enforcement agencies and federal immigration authorities. As a result, the federal government is subsidizing agencies that may be violating federal law and undermining public safety. [Emphasis added]

The majority of SCAAP and Byrne JAG program funding went to sanctuary jurisdictions in 2021; 58 percent of the SCAAP funding and 68 percent of the Byrne JAG funding went to sanctuaries, while 28 percent of the COPS funding went to sanctuaries. [Emphasis added]

Chart via Center for Immigration Studies

In particular, Chicago, Illinois; San Francisco, California; Washington, DC; San Bernardino County, California; and Nassau County, New York were among the top sanctuary counties and cities in the nation to secure tens of millions in DOJ funding in 2021.

Meanwhile, sanctuary states were the biggest sanctuary beneficiaries of DOJ grants.

Localities in the sanctuary state of California, for instance, scored nearly $83 million while Colorado secured more than $6.1 million, Connecticut got $7.1 million, Illinois got nearly $7 million, Massachusetts got more than $11 million, New Jersey secured nearly $16 million, and New York got more than $26.7 million, among others.

Across the United States, there are about 150 sanctuary counties and cities.
