HOW DANGEROUS TO AMERICA'S HOMELAND SECURITY IS GAMER LAWYER JOE BIDEN? - House Republicans to Investigate Biden Administration for Allegedly Giving Out Billions in ‘Corrupt Bargain’ Border Contracts

House Republicans will now investigate claims from a Biden official after he reportedly said he made backroom deals with federal agencies, calling the migrant crisis a “boom for business.”
House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Mark Green (R-TN) told the Washington Examiner:
The alarming allegations of Mr. [Andrew] Lorenzen-Strait’s corruption and his recently recorded statements only further justify the Homeland Security Committee’s continued oversight of ICE’s suspect contract procurement processes. Awarding massive, sole-source contracts for illegal immigrant services to ill-equipped non-profits such as Endeavors, possibly because of connections to President Biden’s 2020 transition team, could prove to be an unacceptable abuse of taxpayer funds, and ICE must answer for these allegations.

Homeland Security Subcommittee on Border Security and Enforcement Chairman Clay Higgins (R-LA) and Subcommittee on Oversight, Investigations, and Accountability Chairman Dan Bishop (R-NC) echoed Green’s call to have Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) hand over communications about an $87 million deal to house migrants at the border in hotels instead of government-owned residential centers.
The issue surrounding the contract resurfaced last week after Project Veritas said reported that Biden transition official Andrew Lorenzen-Strait bragged about how he made backroom deals with federal agencies and called the migrant crisis a “boom for business.”

The Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Inspector General responded by launching an investigation into the $87 million deal with Endeavors. The inspector general’s office found that the contract was unjustified and Endeavors took $17 million of the funds it did not use.
The Examiner continued:
The inspector general also concluded that ICE had never put out a notice to contractors that it needed to rent space to house immigrant families. Endeavors sent ICE a proposal that stated it could house immigrants, an unusual offering given that ICE had not disclosed any need for housing.
Lorenzen-Strait’s prior work was a conflict of interest, the inspector general found, because he had crafted ICE policy as a transition team official while simultaneously advising Endeavors.
Lorenzen-Strait publicly signed on with Endeavors as a senior employee on Biden’s first day in office and shortly after locked down the $87 million backdoor deal and a $530 million noncompete contract to shelter unaccompanied immigrant children for the Department of Health and Human Services.

Green, Higgins, and Bishop wrote to acting ICE Director Patrick Lechleitner, “Mr. Lorenzen-Strait referred to what appears to be the Endeavors contract as a ‘corrupt bargain.'”
“He further discussed ‘brokering’ a deal that won Cherokee Federal, a team of tribally owned federal contracting companies, a nearly $2 billion contract with the federal government to provide services to unaccompanied alien children,” they added.
“Despite clear conflicts of interest and prior scrutiny, Mr. Lorenzen-Strait may be influencing ICE’s contracts for migrant services with non-governmental and non-profit organizations,” the lawmakers added.

Here was what Erie County Executive Mark C. Poloncarz had to say in May about the upstate New York area getting a flood of illegal alien migrants.
“I have been advised by representatives of New York State that we will soon be joined by an as-yet unknown number of asylum-seekers, people who have been forced out of their own countries by authoritarian rulers or for other serious life-threatening reasons. These individuals are all legally in the country seeking asylum, have been vetted by federal authorities prior to arriving here and will be coming from New York City.”
“It should be noted, over the past decade and more, approximately 12,000 refugees have moved into and through our area as part of the good work that the Refugee Partnership does, all without fanfare and without the ridiculous fears stoked by xenophobic and ill-informed community members. Some stay here and some move on but all of these people come here seeking to build their own American dream, provide for themselves and their families, and become productive members of our society.
“In fact, due to the exemplary work of the Refugee Partnership, currently there are hundreds of refugees and asylum-seekers in Erie County from countries as diverse as Afghanistan, Congo, Ecuador, Somalia, Ukraine, Venezuela and more. These people are not a threat to our community and are only looking for the opportunity to pursue their dream of living in a free, democratic society.”
Now, Mark has changed his tune.
“As we have done for years, Erie County opened its arms to try and welcome these new Americans. Unfortunately there is no way to make the program as presently run sustainable. Two serious, violent crimes in two weeks are two too many. Our refugee agencies did their best to provide support and assistance, but our community’s trust and good faith have been betrayed. We were assured of safety, security, and proper screening. Clearly that hasn’t been done.”
A top upstate Dem official and previous vocal supporter of housing migrants there now says he will refuse additional resettlements — after a second local alleged sex assault involving an asylum-seeker.
The frustrated pol, Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz, added that the National Guard will start providing security at the three hotels-turned-migrant shelters in Cheektowaga in Erie within a day or two, after he learned the facilities are not safe, according to a weekend report.
Last week, a migrant from Venezuela who was bussed from New York City to a Cheektowaga hotel was charged with raping a woman in front of a 3-year-old child at the site.
Then an asylum-seeker from the Democratic Republic of the Congo was arrested Friday and is being charged with sex abuse and unlawful imprisonment after allegedly sexually assaulting an employee inside the Best Western hotel in Cheektowaga near Buffalo Airport.
It’s a shame that Mark is surrendering to “ridiculous fears stoked by xenophobic and ill-informed community members.”
Doesn’t he know that the man who raped a woman in front of a 3-year-old child had “been vetted by federal authorities” and is one of the “new Americans” looking for democracy… and to vote for Democrats?
But all is not lost.
Mark informs us that, “Erie County will continue to welcome refugees and those seeking shelter under the traditional programs, just as we have for years. These recent incidents shouldn’t color attitudes toward our New American neighbors”.
Bring on the federally vetted new American rapists and don’t let their recent rapes color your attitudes toward the illegal alien rapists.

The Biden administration is asking for funds to build homes for illegal immigrants crossing the U.S.-Mexico border. This comes after the administration closed facilities that previously held people that were trying to enter the United States illegally.
Meanwhile, the Department of Justice is ramping up efforts to seize the property of Americans when it’s believed to be linked to crimes. Using this tool, the government has made tens of billions of dollars over the past several years.
In this live Q&A with Crossroads host Joshua Philipp, we’ll discuss these stories and others, and answer questions from the audience.
While families struggle to afford food, fuel, and essentials for young children, the White House continues to assure Americans that the economy has never been better. While the Department of Homeland Security insists that America's borders are secure and that illegal immigration is under control, small towns across the country struggle to deal with spiking fentanyl deaths, transnational crime networks, and forced multiculturalism that often drives a wedge within communities. International trade deals that were negotiated and signed by residents of D.C. have hollowed out once thriving industrial towns and left multiple generations of blue-collar workers poor and adrift.
In Edgar Allan Poe's short story, "The Masque of the Red Death," a group of nobles wall themselves off from the surrounding country to avoid a devastating plague. Seemingly secure inside their fortified castle, the "elites" live in a state of luxurious indulgence, indifferent to the people suffering beyond their gates. While they throw lavish parties, the rest of their countrymen die miserable deaths. Eventually, however, the "Red Death" finds its way into their "safe space" and eviscerates their fantasy. And because the aloof aristocrats are trapped inside a fortress of their own making, they soon perish.
This is a story that every D.C. power player should read. The rift between Beltway conventional wisdom and the day-to-day reality of ordinary Americans is growing into an unbridgeable crevasse.

International trade deals that were negotiated and signed by residents of D.C. have hollowed out once thriving industrial towns and left multiple generations of blue-collar workers poor and adrift.
The "Rust Belt" has never been more corroded, yet Wall Street and Washington seem to be doing better than ever. It is as if the wealthiest and most influential Americans have holed themselves up inside a luxurious castle, so that they may ignore the devastation afflicting the rest of the country.
Three decades ago, Americans built things. Little towns watched most of their working-age men head off to local manufacturing plants early in the morning and come back home covered in dirt and sweat. American industry was not just a paycheck, but also a way of life that left communities with a sense of camaraderie and pride. "American muscle" meant something to the families who survived from the efforts of hard work. For many towns, local manufacturing and industry created a shared identity. When there were workplace accidents, bad news spread to every downtown diner and high school student immediately. When seasonal festivals and parades came, the town's blue-collar workforce was always celebrated.
For some families, becoming old enough to join the town's work crews was a rite of passage connecting one generation to the next. Grandfathers, fathers, and sons remained bonded by common adversity and success. For other families, blue-collar jobs provided a steady enough salary to save for the opportunity to send a child to college and toward the promises of a different life. Intergenerational social mobility from lower economic classes to higher ones was achievable because blue-collar jobs were dependable.

Then came the international "free trade" deals such as NAFTA in the '90s and the granting to China of Permanent Normal Trade Relations status in 2000, and the relative prosperity and security found within America's blue-collar towns disappeared almost overnight. Jobs went straight to Mexico and China. Manufacturing plants that had provided the financial backbone for generations of families closed down and boarded up. Men stopped going to work in the morning. Families disintegrated under hardship and once unthinkable divorce. The potential for social mobility vanished because despair replaced hope. If you drive across America today, you will pass one graveyard after another — filled with abandoned factories, decaying homes, and town squares devoid of life.
D.C.'s political class does not want to acknowledge this awful truth. For three decades, Republicans and Democrats have promised that all of the lost jobs going to Asia, Mexico, and South America would be miraculously replaced with lucrative "service industry" jobs capable of satisfying American families better. Somehow, the men with dirt under their fingernails and sunburns on their necks were expected to become customer service representatives or computer programmers. Nobody asked America's labor force whether they would prefer a future wearing khakis and dress shoes to a life in traditional work overalls and boots. The Potomac nobles just pretended to know what was best.
With the off-shoring of well-paying blue-collar jobs to overseas markets using slave-like labor, America's most profitable companies have become even more profitable multinational behemoths. Stock market valuations have continued to rise. Powerful lobbying groups in D.C. have made a fortune brokering new deals between Congress and foreign interests. Meanwhile, America's forgotten workforce has seen both its savings and opportunities dry up.

If America builds little today and survives mainly from the profits of an investment banking sector centered in Manhattan, then how will it support itself should that sector one day soon go belly-up? Endless congressional spending and unsustainable national debt do not provide the financial conditions for long-term stability and wealth. Inevitably, the "Red Death" of economic desolation will reach inside D.C.'s sanctuary, too.
When that day comes and the American economy crumbles, who will be around with the blue-collar grit and know-how to build this nation back up?

Robert Kennedy Jr: Power, Corruption, Freedom, & The Chronic Disease Epidemic Within America
President Joe Biden’s deputies are asking the House GOP majority to fund new travel and housing programs for more economic migrants who are being encouraged to take opportunities needed by ordinary Americans.
The August 10 request for $3.3 billion funding “is not all designed to promote more illegal immigration, but most of it seems to be,” said Mark Krikorian, director of the Center for Immigration Studies, adding:
Which is why there’s resistance among a lot of Republicans to increased funding for [the department of] Homeland Security (DHS). If DHS was using the money to actually stop the flow of illegal aliens, Republicans will be falling all over themselves to vote for it. But that’s not what this administration wants to with the do extra money for DHS — they want to use it to speed up the arrival of people who have no right to be here.
The “border guard is turned into a Walmart greeter,” he said.

Just before the release of the White House’s request, Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) and 14 other Texas GOP members urged the Republican majority to block funding for Biden’s migration programs:
Simply put, no member of Congress should agree to fund a federal agency at war with his state and people. We have a moral obligation to protect our states, our nation, and, importantly, the migrant children getting abused from the disaster transpiring at our southern border.
“No border security, no funding,” the letter said, amid the growing public opposition to the Democrats who are bringing migrants into New York, Chicago, California, Maine, and other Democrat-run districts.

Many Republicans also oppose continued funding for the war, which is apparently stuck in a no-negotiation, high-casualty stalemate. The opposition is driven, in part, by the economic cost which is pushing government spending well above recently agreed spending targets.
he funding must be approved by the GOP members of the House appropriations committee, led by Rep. Kay Granger (R-TX).

So White House officials and the establishment media are portraying the extra migration spending as a gain for border security. For example, the New York Times wrote on August 10:
Mr. Biden sought to sweeten the pot by adding politically popular spending to the Ukraine aid. The supplemental appropriation request includes $12 billion for disaster relief, $4 billion for border security.
But the details show that most of the border spending is intended to bring in even more economic migrants — not to keep them out.
Up to $800 million is intended to fund new migrant pathways from Colombia, Guatemala, Costa Rica, and Ecuador into U.S. communities. These “Safe Mobility Offices” are intended to offer a safer and cheaper route for African, European, and Asian economic migrants who are seeking to break into the United States.
A growing number of global migrants fly into Ecuador or Columbia before starting their trek to the Texas border. This growing flow of illegals skews the nation’s economy in favor of investors, Wall Street, and the coastal states.
The request also asks for an extra $714 million for Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, which was created to deport illegal migrants. But the request also asks for permission to move funding around in the agency — so that funding can be used for the housing program that would shelter migrants while they take the U.S. jobs they need to pay off smuggling debts. The program would also provide illegal migrants with free legal advice on how to slip through the immigration rules that were enacted to protect Americans from illegal migrants.
The request also asks for an additional $600 million for the Federal Emergency Management Agency. That agency funds many of the transport networks and shelters that migrants use as they displace locals from jobs in New York, Chicago, and other cities.

The extra support money would likely help minimize and hide the local political and economic damage of Biden’s migration in Democrat-run cities.
Biden’s huge inflow includes roughly 2 million legal migrants, 3.5 million illegal and quasi-legal migrants allowed through the southern border, roughly 1.6 million “gotaways” who sneaked over the border, plus hundreds of thousands of migrants who have refused to go home when their legal visas expire.
Biden’s massive inflow has enriched the smuggling cartels and encouraged them to expand their human-smuggling business to South America and overseas. For example, the cartels have expanded to control the migrant pathways in Panama and Columbia that were built up by Biden’s pro-migration border chief, Alejandro Mayorkas.
The budget request shows how the lawyers in Biden’s DHS have reversed the meaning of the nation’s immigration laws, which Congress passed to protect Americans from mass migration, said Krikorian, adding:
What they’re doing here is they’re keeping the same word “order” and “border control” and “border enforcement” and “secure border” …. they’re just inverting the meaning. For them, a “secure border” is one that actually facilitates illegal immigration.
Some GOP politicians are already pushing back against the August 10 request, which also asks for $24 billion for the war in Ukraine and $12 billion for domestic disaster recovery.

Republicans can reject the new spending request and trade the Ukraine spending in exchange for compliance with the nation’s border laws, a senior Republican aide told Breitbart News. “It’s a courage question — the opportunity only matters if Republicans actually fund some backbone and pick the kind of fight the American people elected them for,” the aide said.
The August 10 spending request says:
The Administration requests additional resources to continue to manage the Southwest border safely and effectively … The Administration has [reduced illegal migration] in a safe, orderly, and humane manner, in part by pairing increased access to legal pathways with new consequences for those who fail to use them.
The request asks for up to $800 million to drain even more Ukrainian migrants from the nation that is relying on more than $100 billion in U.S. aid to expel the Russian military from its eastern districts. The U.S. government has already extracted more than 250,000 Ukrainians to serve as workers, consumers, and renters in U.S. society. The funding will offer Ukrainians cash aid, healthcare, legal advice, English-language lessons, and job training so they can compete for the jobs sought by Americans.

The requests ask for permission to shift ICE deportation funds to pay progressive groups to house migrants in New York and elsewhere:
This request would authorize the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to use appropriated funding to allow for refugees, asylum seekers, or other migrants to be housed in community-based residential facilities, depart unsupervised during certain hours, and be provided medical care, legal programming, and other services through contracts, grants, or cooperative agreements with non-governmental organizations.
The funds for the new migrant pathways would be added to the Department of State’s budget:
This request would provide $26 million to the Diplomatic Programs account within the Department of State … This request would provide $532 million to the Migration and Refugee Assistance account within the Department of State. Funds would be used to address humanitarian needs in the Western Hemisphere in order to provide safe options for forcibly displaced migrants to settle and rebuild their lives in Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, and other host countries … Funds would also be used to expand protection through refugee resettlement from the region to the United States and other countries, including through the establishment of Safe Mobility Offices, which provide protection screening and increase access to lawful pathway options to migrants where they are.
This request would provide $250 million to the Department of State for economic support and assistance …. [including] $50 million would be used to support foreign government repatriation operations of individuals deemed ineligible for refugee or other protected statuses; $50 million would be used to incentivize sustained cooperation from partner countries hosting Safe Mobility Offices; and $150 million would be used to expand migrant integration support to target communities, access to labor pathway mechanisms, and engagement with the private sector and multilateral partners to spur greater investment in integration initiatives.
The request also asks for $1.5 billion to help speed up the flow of migrants through U.S. borders:
Of the amounts provided, $203 million would support border management operations by CBP, including for soft-sided facilities, migrant transportation, and medical care requirements. This request also includes $606 million for CBP to reimburse the Department of Defense for border security support along the Southwest border … This request would provide $759 million to the Operations and Support account within the U.S Immigration and Customs Enforcement bureau in the Department of Homeland Security. Of this amount, $714 million would be used to respond to migration surges along the Southwest border and related activities.
The document also asks for $800 million to counter the flow of drugs that are being delivered by the cartels.
The drug inflow is often hidden among the rush of Biden’s migrants, whose desperation to pay off smuggling debts enables employers to underpay and discard the Americans who end up as drug addicts.
Migration — and especially, labor migration — is unpopular among Republican and swing voters. A 54 percent majority of Americans say Biden is allowing a southern border invasion, according toan August 2022 pollcommissioned 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.
