Illegal Alien ‘Got-Away’ Wanted for Murder in Mexico Found Living in Las Vegas
An illegal alien, who successfully crossed the United States-Mexico border, was found living in Las Vegas, Nevada, while being wanted in Mexico for murder.
Daniel Luis Ibarra-Lopez, a 25-year-old illegal alien from Mexico, crossed the border sometime after the alleged murder took place. Like nearly two million so-called “known got-aways” on President Joe Biden’s watch, Ibarra-Lopez was able to enter the U.S. without detection by Border Patrol agents.
The Silent Invasion and War at Home
The most numerous victims of this invasion are blacks and Hispanics who are attacked by young men of their own race. These are the forgotten men and women in our society, and this is a topic that mainstream news won't cover because the killers are mostly black and Hispanic. Just in 2020, the year of the "defund the police" protests, murders of blacks soared by 32%, and they're only continuing.
THEY HAVE NO FUKING IDEA HOW MANY ILLEGALS JUMPED THE BORDERS AND OUR JOBS AND THIS IS PURPOSEFUL! THEY DON'T WANT US TO KNOW HOW MUCH 'CHEAP' LABOR HAS BEEN INVITED IN TO KEEP WAGES DEPRESSED AND RENTS SOARING!
UNDER THE OBAMA - SOROS - BIDEN GLOLBALIST REGIME THERE HAVE BEEN 15-20 MILLION ILLEGALS ORCHESTRATED IN TO JOIN THE 40-50 MILLION ALREADY HERE.
HALF THE POPULATION OF CALIFORNIA IS NOW MEXICAN!
Meanwhile, Hispanics have been exploding as a percentage of the American population. In 2011, Hispanics were 16.7% of the population. By 2020, the population had grown by 23% in just a decade, making Hispanics the largest non-white racial group in America. And of course, that doesn’t count the millions who have come into America illegally on Biden’s watch.
The president of the Illinois NAACP called illegal aliens ‘savages’
For decades, the Democrats have built a political coalition based on victimhood. Indeed, they even have a name for this coalition: Intersectionality. Women, blacks, the handicapped, Hispanics, the LGBTQ+ cadre…they were all bound together by shared resentment against white men. As the old Arab proverb went, “the enemy of my enemy is my friend.” But what happens when the common enemy is less of a problem than that intersectional friend?
We’re finding out in Chicago where blacks are increasingly dismayed by the city giving illegal aliens resources that once went to the black community. And in a city plagued by crime, it turns out that at least some blacks prefer the familiar black criminals as opposed to the new illegal alien criminals.
News broke yesterday that the president of the Illinois NAACP got in trouble because she called illegal aliens rapists, robbers, and even “savages”:
In a recent Zoom call meeting with NAACP leaders from around the state, [Teresa] Haley answered a question from a participant.
That’s when she began talking about all the migrants coming to Chicago, saying how they are living on the streets, and that Black people have been in similar predicaments for a long time, and no one cares.
“But, these immigrants have come over here, they’ve been raping people, they’ve been breaking into homes. They’re like savages as well. They don’t speak the language, and they look at us like we were crazy,” Haley said.
What Haley discovered after saying this is that, while blacks are untouchable if they insult whites, Jews, Asians, and LGBTQ+ people, there’s a new, more important victim group in town, and that would be Hispanics. Practically within seconds of word getting out about Haley’s statement, people were demanding that she step down:
Gov. JB Pritzker denounced those comments on Tuesday.
“Reprehensible remarks, I would hope that she would apologize for the remarks. I also think that people should recognize that immigrants to this country are all around us,” Pritzker said.
It’s important to note here that Pritzker did not demand that Harvard president Claudine Gay step down after saying that calling for the mass murder of Jews wasn’t harassment unless it got…you know, really, really bad. But in America in 2023, a black woman cannot insult Hispanic illegal aliens.
This makes perfect political sense. Blacks are declining as a percentage of the population. In 1790, they were 19.3% of the population. By the time of the Civil War, that had declined to 14.1%. After the Civil War, when America had its huge immigration boom, their representation in the population declined to a low of 9.7%.
When the United States shut its doors on mass immigration, the black population began to grow again. Immediately after WWII, blacks were part of the baby boom. However, beginning in the 1960s, with birth control, and the 1970s, with abortion, the black population’s growth slowed tremendously. In 2020, they were only 12.4% of the American population.
Meanwhile, Hispanics have been exploding as a percentage of the American population. In 2011, Hispanics were 16.7% of the population. By 2020, the population had grown by 23% in just a decade, making Hispanics the largest non-white racial group in America. And of course, that doesn’t count the millions who have come into America illegally on Biden’s watch.
The bottom line is that, as people like Haley are discovering, blacks may still be favored in academia but, when it comes to pure politics, they’ve been pushed aside in favor of a larger voting bloc. This was inevitable. When your politics are about fighting over the spoils rather than improving the country for all, it’s going to get ugly when the spoils diminish and another, bigger victim group wants its piece of the pie.

The Silent Invasion and War at Home
It has been chilling to watch the steady number of deaths, the territory invaded, the executions and rapes, the fear and the flight. It is especially shocking because we had peace for so long, but now we see all the possibilities of evil coming out.
I'm not talking about Ukraine — I'm speaking of an invasion right here in the United States. Migrants, mostly Hispanic, are entering the U.S. at the rate of at least 2 million per year — or 20 million in the next decade — and with them come hundreds of thousands of violent gang members. Meanwhile, our own inner-city gangs are spreading out into affluent suburban areas, invading high-end shopping areas and stealing from stores and individuals, often at gunpoint and with deadly consequences.
I am not being alarmist or racist. I am simply describing what is happening and pointing out the future state of affairs if we do nothing. If anything, my numbers are low, and my words cannot describe the horror of what is happening.
The most numerous victims of this invasion are blacks and Hispanics who are attacked by young men of their own race. These are the forgotten men and women in our society, and this is a topic that mainstream news won't cover because the killers are mostly black and Hispanic. Just in 2020, the year of the "defund the police" protests, murders of blacks soared by 32%, and they're only continuing.
We're seeing an explosion in the number of carjackings and car thefts, along with murders, home invasions, rapes, assaults, and other violent crimes, not just in our cities, but in suburban areas as well. And authorities cannot or will not do anything to stop it. There has always been violent crime in Chicago, but now there seems to be a crime wave, and it includes the murder of children, police officers, and the elderly. The authorities mumble about "root causes," but social work won't reduce the numbers. We are at war, and war requires the use of force.
The perpetrators are largely the same in every location: young black and Hispanic men, heavily armed and with no apparent conscience or morality. They prey on the weak and take what they want, which seems to be money, sex, drugs, and a certain kind of street cred that they mistake for status.
These thugs now control the streets, even in many smaller cities. Mayors like Lori Lightfoot seem to have given up. They attempt to change the subject and ignore the problem, just as the Biden administration does.
Biden ignores the fact that we have been invaded by a powerful army of young men of similar backgrounds and natures — ruthless gang members and repeat offenders with the same teardrop tattoos signifying their having committed murder, the same cold, haughty stare, the same hostile swagger and domineering speech. These criminals have become so familiar that even some middle-class whites, through popular culture and rap music, have mistaken them for Robin Hood–type heroes.
They are anything but heroes. They inflict suffering and death on everyone around them. Like half-starved lions released into the Coliseum, they exist only to murder and prey on the weak.
More Americans have died in this war over the past decade (some 200,000) than Ukrainians who have died in their war (13,000 according to a recent count), and American cities are beginning to resemble the bombed out shells of civilization we see in Mariupol and Kharkiv. The difference is that everyone notices the destruction in Ukraine, but few understand the magnitude of violent crime in the U.S. If the media coverage were honest and proportional, Americans would demand change.
We have been invaded by an army that is worse than that of Russia. Unlike the hapless conscripts who constitute those Russian forces, the thugs who roam America are remorseless. If anything, they enjoy killing since it inflates their sense of power, especially their power over whites, and particularly white police officers, though black victims are hardly exempt. They are lean, muscled, and street-tough, and they are not afraid of getting caught since in most places there is no real punishment for "common" crimes like stealing cars or home break-ins, and little punishment for violent crime as well.
The invaders we face are violent and lack all compunction, but they are not all that numerous. They fit a similar profile — a certain type of young minority drop-out, stealing or selling drugs — but according to several estimates, they constitute at most one quarter of their demographic and a smaller percentage of Hispanics. Indeed, most blacks and Hispanics live in fear of these invaders, just as most whites do.
The Ukrainian army has repelled Russian forces in many areas. If the Ukrainians had been properly armed, they might have turned back the Russians at the beginning and saved their country so much suffering and destruction. In America, we don't even realize we have been invaded, or else we refuse to admit it. It's not "woke" to say that young black men commit murder at 18 times the rate of the general population. Not woke to say, as is true, that twice as many whites are murdered by blacks as are blacks by whites. Not woke to point out that fully one quarter of black men "end up in the criminal justice system," as Bernie Sanders has it.
One does not defeat an enemy by allowing it to murder, steal, and rape without resistance. The only way is to recognize that we have been invaded, and we are at war. War requires its own way of thinking and its own tactics and strategy. At present, we arrest criminals (a few of them, since 54% of reported violent crimes and more than 75% overall go unsolved), charge them with a lesser offense, release them (in many places without bail), and watch them go right back to committing crimes. That is the wrong strategy for a state of war.
It is possible to defeat our enemy, but it will take a change of attitude. We must be willing to fund our police at maximum levels, support our police in their dangerous work, and indemnify them against unreasonable prosecution in their use of force, and we must elect prosecutors who actually prosecute this army of invaders. The recall of L.A. district attorney George Gascón might be a good start.
We are under attack, and the situation is getting worse. The only way to defeat an invading army is with greater force. We need to provide that force so that we can live safely once again.

Unapologetic Tony Dungy Smokes Out Obama’s Betrayal of Black America
By Jack Cashill
Tony Dungy, the first black coach ever to win a Super Bowl, might have escaped notice this week had he merely supported Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’s “Responsible Fatherhood Initiative.” His real sin was to explain why.
Dungy, a Christian father or eleven, recounted a conversation he had years back with the Rev. Abe Brown about Brown’s prison ministry. At Brown’s request, Dungy accompanied him to prison. Expecting to find hardened criminals, Dungy found instead “19- and 20- and 21-year-old kids who looked like my boys.” When Dungy asked what accounted for the young men’s incarceration, Brown told him, “It’s not socioeconomic. It’s not 
racial. It’s not education. It’s none of that. Ninety-five percent of these boys did not grow up with their dad.”
Said Dungy, “That hit me.” Predictably, Dungy’s truth-telling stirred the woke beehive. “Dungy standing there cackling,” tweeted former ESPN commentator Keith Olbermann, “a fascist political prop.”
“Fathers are extremely important, but yeah,” tweeted Jemele Hill, also formerly with ESPN, “that ain’t how this works. If a father is in the home and can’t find a job, then what?”
Deadspin, which comically positions itself as “sports news without fear, favor, or compromise,” headlined its article on the DeSantis initiative, “Tony Dungy is constantly used as a prop by bigots.” Reporter Carron Phillips could find little to fault in the initiative itself but took offense that Dungy would appear with DeSantis who, in his unbiased opinion, had made Florida “arguably the worst state in the nation.”
Undaunted, Dungy fired back exactly as warranted. “2 days ago I spoke on behalf of a Florida bill that supports dads & families and it offended some people,” tweeted Dungy. “14 yrs ago Pres Obama said the same things almost verbatim. I’m assuming people were outraged at him too.” Added Dungy defiantly, “I am serving the Lord so I’ll keep supporting dads and families.”
In the tweet, Dungy quoted Obama’s comments from 2008, underlining the words that confirmed the Rev. Brown’s thesis. “We know the statistics,” said Obama, “that children who grow up without a father are five times more likely to live in poverty and commit crime; nine times more likely to drop out of schools and 20 times more likely to end up in prison.”
There is much more to this story. Ideally, someone else of authority in the black community will tell it. In fact, Obama made this speech on Father’s Day 2008, while veering toward the Christian center after Hillary had dropped out of the presidential race. The setting was the Apostolic Church of God in Chicago. “Here at Apostolic,” said Obama, after quoting from the Sermon on the Mount, “you are blessed to worship in a house that has been founded on the rock of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.”
“Of all the rocks upon which we build our lives, we are reminded today that family is the most important,” Obama continued. “And we are called to recognize and honor how critical every father is to that foundation.” Obama spoke here from the heart. More than any previous presidential memoir, his recent memoir, A Promised Land, is a tribute to the joys and responsibilities of fatherhood. Would that all children in America could grow up with the love and support Malia and Sasha have enjoyed. Far too many have not. Obama knew this.
“But if we are honest with ourselves,” Obama continued, “we’ll admit that what too many fathers also are is missing—missing from too many lives and too many homes. They have abandoned their responsibilities, acting like boys instead of men. And the foundations of our families are weaker because of it.” Obama proceeded to explain the consequences of fatherlessness in words that could have come from Tony Dungy.
“You and I know how true this is in the African-American community,” said Obama. “We know that more than half of all black children live in single-parent households, a number that has doubled—doubled—since we were children. We know the statistics—that children who grow up without a father are five times more likely to live in poverty and commit crime; nine times more likely to drop out of schools and 20 times more likely to end up in prison.”
Here, Obama correctly identified family breakdown—not racism, not police brutality, not even the legacy of slavery and Jim Crow—as the reason America’s inner cities have become the most dangerous and dysfunctional in the developed world. This breakdown, he strongly implied, was a byproduct of the modern welfare state. Just as pointedly, Obama acknowledged that the problem was getting worse, exponentially worse.
This was a message the progressive left was no more eager to hear then than now. Chicago’s most prominent baby daddy, Jesse Jackson, let Obama know how unwelcome was his truth-telling. Three weeks after Father’s Day, Jackson was “overheard” talking to another black guest on a hot mic at the Fox News studio. The cynic suspects that Jackson wanted his message to be heard, and he knew that at Fox would someone think to leak it. If so, he got his way.
Said Jackson, “See, Barack been, um, talking down to black people on this faith-based—I wanna cut his nuts out.” Here Jackson made a sharp slicing motion with his hands and continued, “Barack—he’s talking down to black people—telling n*****s how to behave.” (Jackson, I should clarify, did not speak in asterisks.) Jackson later apologized but without even feigning sincerity. Obama seems to have gotten the message. From that day forward, Jackson’s weary, self-destructive wokism carried the day as it had since he assumed leadership of the flailing civil rights movement forty years prior. Obama never spoke meaningfully about fatherhood again.
He had plenty of opportunities. In 2012, Obama might have recounted how paternal abandonment had turned Trayvon Martin from a promising student into a drugged and angry street fighter. Instead, Obama identified his fate with Trayvon’s. George Zimmerman’s rightful acquittal in Trayvon’s death led directly to the formation of Black Lives Matter.
A year after the trial, Obama identified with Ferguson’s deeply troubled Michael Brown, a wayward young man whose home life made even Trayvon’s seem structured. The result of the BLM-inspired riots that followed Brown’s death was what criminologists call the “Ferguson Effect”: the police withdraw, the gangs fill the void, and black people die in the streets. Thousands of them.
This is what Obama wrought. Dungy peeled back the first layer of the onion. Someone needs to keep peeling.

WE CAN'T SAVE AMERICA UNTIL WE GET RID OF JOE BIDEN, THE MOST CORRUPT PRESIDENT IN AMERICAN HISTORY
Joe should be the one doing it, but he's too busy demanding cash for Ukraine's border, he doesn't want any for America's -- he only wants a faster conveyor belt into the states for illegal alien 'processing.' That's his solution and now the Mexicans are calling bee ess.
Mexico begins building its own northern border wall, doing the job Joe Biden won't do
Border surge?
As Joe Biden keeps saying 'what crisis?' and fails to stop it, the Mexicans have apparently gotten sick of this.
They're out building their own border wall, or at least, starter fence, now.
According to the San Diego Union-Tribune:
Just south of the border wall in San Ysidro, Mexican officials have installed a chain link fence reinforced with razor wire at the top and bottom that prevents entry to a section of the Tijuana River channel, identified as one of the main points for migrants crossing into San Diego.
Behind the barrier, Mexican National Guard and immigration agents keep watch at all times.
Just south of the border wall in San Ysidro, Mexican officials have installed a chain link fence reinforced with razor wire at the top and bottom that prevents entry to a section of the Tijuana River channel, identified as one of the main points for migrants crossing into San Diego.
Behind the barrier, Mexican National Guard and immigration agents keep watch at all times.
Since its installation last month, the number of migrants crossing in that area has decreased. However, it has increased in others spots farther east, such as Jacumé in Tecate, just south of the border from Jacumba Hot Springs, according to Mexican officials. As a result, Mexican federal agents have increased their presence there, as well.
Wow. When the migrants move, the Mexicans stop them in the next spot, too. They know how this works.
And they understand very well the gaslighting of the open-borders lobby effectively shilling for the Mexican cartels who make billions from these crossings:
Mexican officials have defended the installation of the new fence in Tijuana. In a statement last month, Enrique Lucero, head of Tijuana’s Migrant Affairs Office, said the new fence did not violate migrants’ right to request asylum “since this point is not a legal port of entry to request asylum.”
No kidding.
They know this is an open border and they also know that this arrangement has wrought havoc on their own country as nationals from more than 150 countries stream in, now in numbers exceeding ten thousand entering the U.S. each day. Unlike the Biden administration, they known the nationals in the border zones in their own country are being hit hard.
After all, Mexicans are being driven from their homes based on cartel human-smuggling activity around Joe's open borders.
As I noted here last month:
InSightCrime reports that Mexicans in northern Sonora state are so under siege from cartel infighting over the migrant smuggling trade they are now fleeing their homes -- and into the U.S.
According to InSightCrime:
On a recent November evening, residents of Sásabe, a small outpost on the US-Mexico border, received threatening messages warning of an impending attack. The next morning, they awoke to several houses engulfed in flames and dozens of men with high-powered weapons shooting at each other around the main plaza.
Hours later, nearly 100 locals, among them elderly men and women and young children, took off for the US-Mexico border. They found a hole in the border fence, crossed into the United States, and pleaded with Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials to protect them.
Border cities have also been shut down as cartels fight for turf, as I wrote about here:
Cartels don't go to "war" like this unless a lot of money is at stake. And there is.
Joe Biden's open borders policies have led to a full-blown war zone at the very edge of the U.S., with scenes like these, all because of the money and power at stake. It's compounded by the Mexican federal government's coddling of cartels. That's a toxic, explosive mixture that has led to this actual national security crisis.
Why would three cartels set off this level of violence to gain control of Tijuana? Well, look at the map — Tijuana is the gateway to San Diego, Los Angeles, San Jose, Riverside, Las Vegas, Fresno, Sacramento, San Francisco, and beyond, all huge markets of intense interest to Mexican drug-smugglers and human-traffickers. Biden's dinner triangle to illegal aliens still breaking into the country has led to more than a million illegal border crossings since his administration took office. With the U.S. no longer controlling its border, cartels have filled the void, collecting some $7,000 per migrant per crossing. That's a lot of fresh capital for the cartels, even as the States are expected to pick up the tab for the migrants themselves.
And there are a host of other problems with this open border situation, including corruption of public officials; crime, disorder, and interference with business from the migrants; borders periodically shut down so the Border Patrol can "process" tens of thousands of illegal border crossers, halting legitimate cross-border trade; and more.
Fact is, the open borders Joe has opened wide for migrants of all countries has wrought havoc on Mexico and shown signs of destabilizing other countries, such as Panama. All of Latin America is affected by this nightmare in addition to the United States.
Mexico has an election coming and some of the opposition candidates seem to be gaining. Mexico City's ruling pols aren't stupid and can see the potential damage to their political prospects if the chaos of the border isn't halted.
It makes perfect sense to them to build a wall, something Joe Biden can neither comprehend nor consider because Trump.
Joe should be the one doing it, but he's too busy demanding cash for Ukraine's border, he doesn't want any for America's -- he only wants a faster conveyor belt into the states for illegal alien 'processing.' That's his solution and now the Mexicans are calling bee ess.
President Trump once with hyperbole said he'd get the Mexicans to pay for the border wall.
It looks like Joe Biden has actually achieved that, but not based on anything positive he did, but based on what he didn't do that was his duty to do. He's out touting his 'virtual' border wall while Mexicans are building a real one.
Chalk it up to Mexicans doing the job Joe wouldn't do. The ironies abound.

Illegal Alien ‘Got-Away’ Wanted for Murder in Mexico Found Living in Las Vegas
An illegal alien, who successfully crossed the United States-Mexico border, was found living in Las Vegas, Nevada, while being wanted in Mexico for murder.
Daniel Luis Ibarra-Lopez, a 25-year-old illegal alien from Mexico, crossed the border sometime after the alleged murder took place. Like nearly two million so-called “known got-aways” on President Joe Biden’s watch, Ibarra-Lopez was able to enter the U.S. without detection by Border Patrol agents.
According to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials, they were told on Feb. 17 of this year that Ibarra-Lopez was wanted for murder in Mexico and had successfully fled to the U.S. via the border.
More than a month later, ICE agents arrested Ibarra-Lopez near Las Vegas and he was given a final deportation order by a federal immigration judge in October.
From there, ICE agents took Ibarra-Lopez to the San Ysidro Port of Entry in San Diego, California, and turned him over to Mexican law enforcement officials so he could be prosecuted for the murder charge against him.
Similarly, last month, an illegal alien convicted of raping a five-year-old child in Brazil was able successfully cross the border into the U.S. sometime after his conviction. ICE agents ultimately found the illegal alien living on Martha’s Vineyard.

Watch: Arizona Border Town Remains Shut Amidst Uncontrolled Flow of Migrants
LUKEVILLE, Arizona — A warning sign has been placed at the entrance of the Organ Pipe National Monument area, recommending tourists refrain from entering the area due to ongoing Customs and Border Protection (CBP) operations. Nearby, the town of Lukeville is completely shut down and void of human presence. At the same time, Breitbart Texas witnessed a constant flow of mostly African migrants crossing the border wall and walking through the Organ Pipe National Monument, hoping to secure their freedom in the United States on Tuesday evening.
This Breitbart video shows signage placed by CBP at one entrance to the monument, cautioning travelers to stay out but offering no clue as to what lies ahead. After driving past the sign, Breitbart Texas observed CBP Office of Field Operations (OFO) personnel — those normally tasked with inspecting legitimate travelers and cargo at the port of entry shut down because of the migrant crossings — performing duties once reserved for Border Patrol agents.
Lukeville Border Crisis (Randy Clark/Breitbart Texas)
The Lukeville port of entry nearby is completely void of any legitimate trade and travel. As Border Patrol personnel driving vans and buses shuttled migrants to a processing facility from the Organ Pipe National Monument reserve, a stream of mostly African migrants continued to cross the border unabated. The video shows a line of migrants stretching for as far as the eye can see, walking on a self-guided quest along the border wall, searching for Border Patrol agents to surrender to.

The migrants ultimately found OFO personnel instead. The CBP OFO staff from the shuttered port of entry corralled the migrants at a staging area and began loading them into the arriving vans to leave the desert area. The available transportation resources proved insufficient to move the hundreds of migrants Breitbart Texas watched.

The port in Lukeville has been closed for more than one week, rattling the few local business operators who rely on tourist travel for their livelihood. A convenience store, restaurant, and a duty-free shop were closed on Tuesday and will likely remain shuttered until the port reopens. The reopening date remains a mystery, according to an employee at the food mart fueling station in Why, Arizona. The store, 30 miles from Lukeville, provides services to local residents but relies heavily on cross-border travelers for revenue. According to an employee who spoke to Breitbart Texas, the store reduced the hours of operation and may close on certain days if business remains slow.
Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs (D) visited Lukeville over the weekend after sending a scathing letter to the White House on Friday criticizing the closure of the port of entry. Hobbs is demanding $512 million in federal funds to offset state expenses to cope with the migrant surge into her state. Hobbs described the closure of the port, writing, “The decision to close the Lukeville Port of Entry has led to an unmitigated humanitarian crisis in the area and has put Arizona’s safety and commerce at risk.”
Hobbs added, “Our ports of entry are essential to our state and our country’s economy, and it is vital that they be properly staffed and resourced to continue to fuel economic growth in the state.” Despite the governor’s pleas, the unabated flow of migrants continues, and the town of Lukeville remains shuttered.
The constant surge of migrants crossing into the United States at the Arizona border resulted in a simultaneous increase of migrants being released into the country to pursue asylum claims as Border Patrol-operated processing facilities in the region remain over capacity. As reported by Breitbart Texas, detention capacity and transportation issues have resulted in hundreds of migrants waiting days to be transported away from the border wall in Lukeville.
