EVEN AS THEY LIE ABOUT THE BORDER - DHS Chief Mayorkas’s Border Fix: Bus More Illegal Aliens into U.S. Towns - Mayorkas’ DHS Claims 2.3 Million Illegal Migrants, but Hides Millions More

JOE BIDEN is known as a serial liar, a "public servant" who has somehow managed to accrue tremendous wealth, a race-baiting opportunist, a Catholic-in-name-only, and a bought-and-paid-for politician in bed with criminal cartels and foreign foes.  In another era, Joe Biden would have been run out of his country much the same way Benedict Arnold was two and a half centuries ago; in an era when integrity, honor, fortitude, fidelity, and grit have been jettisoned for immorality, unscrupulousness, weakness, betrayal, and craven pliability, however, he is elevated to king sleazeball in a city drowning in sleaze.

Report: Four-Time Deported Illegal Alien Accused of Killing Colorado Mother and Her Teenage Son

A four-time deported illegal alien is accused of killing a mother and one of her three sons in a fatal drunk-driving crash, a new report details.

Jose Guadalupe Menjivar-Alas, a 37-year-old illegal alien from El Salvador, was arrested and charged in December with killing 46-year-old Melissa Powell, a mother of three sons, as well as her 16-year-old son, Riordan Powell, in Broomfield, Colorado, on December 12.

Jennie Taer at the Daily Caller broke the news that the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency confirmed Menjivar-Alas’s illegal alien status and his repeated illegal re-entry into the United States despite being deported four times.

Menjivar-Alas has had four prior convictions in Boulder County, Colorado, for drunk driving from 2007 to 2019, Taer reports. Only days before the crash that killed Melissa Powell and Riordan Powell, Menjivar-Alas had been given a slap on the wrist by a county judge.

ICE officials told Taer that Menjivar-Alas was deported from the U.S. in June 2009, June 2012, November 2014, and January 2015 before ultimately illegally re-entering, likely via the southern border.

Family and friends have set up a GoFundMe for Melissa Powell’s other two sons, Chris and Halen. Melissa Powell and Riordan Powell “were both a light in many of our lives, and it is hard to even understand and grasp the situation,” the fundraiser’s page reads:

This inconceivable loss has left the Powell family grappling with grief and unforeseen financial burdens as we head into the holiday season. As the family navigates through this difficult time, we are reaching out for support. Anything you can donate would greatly help support Chris and Halen through and past the unexpected expenses, the heartbreak, and strain brought on so suddenly. All of the funds raised will go to Chris and Halen Powell.

According to the Broomfield Police Department, Menjivar-Alas was drunk driving at the time of the crash, going at least 80 mph, weaving in and out of traffic, and crossing double yellow center lines before hitting Melissa Powell and Riordan Powell.

Melissa Powell died at the scene, while Riordan Powell died later at a nearby hospital.

Police allege that Menjivar-Alas’s vehicle reeked of alcohol and that there were beer cans and open beer cases with missing beer cans on the floor. When Menjivar-Alas later took a blood-alcohol test, his level was 0.249, which is three times the legal limit.

Menjivar-Alas has been charged with two counts of vehicular homicide and two counts of drunk driving. His next scheduled court date is January 18.

KanekoaTheGreat on X summed it up well:

On President Biden's inaugural day, he introduced policies that incentivize illegal immigration:

• Paused Deportations

• Suspended "Remain in Mexico"

• Stopped Border Wall Construction

This surge in illegal immigration is a national security crisis, costing American taxpayers hundreds of billions per year. Major U.S. cities, grappling with the escalating financial burden, are slashing budgets for essential services such as fire, police, sanitation, and education. President Biden holds the power to halt this crisis that is draining America's resources.

Dem NY Assemblywoman: We’re Having to Deal with ‘Lawlessness’ from Migrants, Biden Is Ignoring Crisis

On Monday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends First,” New York State Assemblywoman Jaime Williams (D) stated that the Biden administration is ignoring the national migrant crisis and “myself and our residents have become benefactors of the lawlessness of these migrants.”

Co-host Todd Piro asked, “What do you say to constituents who are working two to three jobs just to survive in and around this area and paying taxes so that that can happen in their neighborhood? That’s not right.”

Williams answered, “It’s 100% not right. It’s an abuse of taxpayer’s dollars. Every American — taxpaying American need[s] to know what’s going on. There needs to be more transparency. And let’s take it a little bit further with the Biden administration, who [has] turned a blind eye to this national crisis. We have lawlessness happening in New York City, and specifically in my district in the southeast side of Brooklyn. So, now, myself and our residents have become benefactors of the lawlessness of these migrants.”

Piro then asked, “You’re a Democrat. It seems like this issue is becoming more and more bipartisan, with the exception — like you mentioned — of the Biden administration. Are there enough of you out there, especially in a blue state like this, to actually exact some change, to do something about this horrific situation, not just the situation you saw, I’m talking about the migrant crisis in general?”

Williams responded, “I don’t think there [are] enough of us here. And I don’t think people should be looking at what party name is behind the person’s name. For me and specifically, myself and Councilwoman Joann Ariola (R), [have] taken this…fight and we have made it ours, because it affects everyone in our district. And I don’t know why people are afraid to step up to the plate. But we need to do this sooner than later. We owe it to each and every taxpaying American.”

New Jersey Democrat Mayor Blasted for Saying Migrants ‘Not Welcome Here’

As Joe Biden’s border crisis continues to negatively impact America, Democrats are beginning to turn against the president for his failed immigration policies. And one Democrat mayor in New Jersey is taking heat for turning completely against Biden’s tidal wave of illegal border crossers.

Sam Joshi, the Democrat mayor of Edison, New Jersey, seems to have had enough, but he is taking criticism for his comments about the growing migrant problem, particularly when he said he wanted to “make it clear that our position in Edison township is that they’re not welcome here.”

“They’re illegal, and they belong on the other side of the border. We don’t want them in Edison, period. That’s the bottom line,” he said, according to the New Jersey Monitor. He added that he plans to order his police to bus the migrants back to “the other side of the border.”

In response to the criticism, Joshi told Newsweek that as a “son of immigrants,” he “understands this issue very well.”

“Edison has a large immigrant population and the overwhelming majority of Edison residents, most notably the immigrant community, support my position and I’m proud to represent their best interests,” Joshi said in his note to the magazine.

The Democrat was spurred to his comments after a busload of illegal aliens were dropped off in his city and boarded a train to continue their travels into New York City

Joshi says that the immigrant problem needs to be handled by the federal government, and he has no role or responsibility for it.

“Edison does not have the financial or social service resources required,” Joshi said of dealing with homeless illegal immigrants. “We cannot afford to put them in long-term hotel stays or provide housing or educational services to our already overcrowded schools.”

Polls show that Americans are increasingly turning against the crisis that Joe Biden has created.

A Jan. 5 YouGov/CBS News poll found that, while Democrats still support the idea of illegal aliens being housed at the expense of local authorities, independents and Republicans stand in stark opposition to the idea.

The poll found that 72 percent of Democrats support “a plan to try and find temporary housing and social services for migrants in the city or town where you live.” But only 23 percent of Republicans agree with that plan. Worse for Democrats, only 38 percent of independents support the local housing of illegal immigrants.

The racial breakdown is also telling. Unsurprisingly, 60 percent of white people oppose housing illegal immigrants locally. But 50 percent of black citizens oppose it, and even 47 percent of Hispanics oppose the idea of housing illegal aliens locally.

DHS Chief Mayorkas’s Border Fix: Bus More Illegal Aliens into U.S. Towns

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is lobbying Congress to allocate billions to bus more border crossers and illegal aliens into the United States.

During a press conference near the U.S.-Mexico border in Eagle Pass, Texas, on Monday, Mayorkas went on defense and accused critics of lying about his record as DHS secretary under President Joe Biden.

“Some have accused DHS of not enforcing our nation’s laws. This could not be further from the truth,” Mayorkas said.

At Mayorkas’s direction, DHS has overseen year-after-year record-breaking levels of illegal immigration. In fiscal year 2023, more than 3.2 million illegal aliens were encountered at the nation’s borders, nearly 2.5 million of which arrived at the southern border.

Mayorkas, though, urged Congress to pass Biden’s supplemental budget request that the White House issued in October 2023, which would have billions more in American taxpayer dollars going toward apprehending, detaining, and then releasing millions of illegal aliens into U.S. communities.

“We need Congress to provide the supplemental funding that President Biden requested months ago,” Mayorkas said:

We need more Border Patrol agents and more case processors so that the agents can be out in the field doing the heroic work that is their fundamental mission. We need more officers so that migration surges do not force mitigation measures of last resort, like bridge closures. We need more asylum officers and immigration judges so that we can resolve asylum claims quickly — granting relief when it is warranted, removing migrants when it is not, and reducing the three-million-case immigration court backlog that has been growing for years and years. [Emphasis added]

We need more technology to combat the smuggling of fentanyl through our ports of entry, and more facilities to process and detain migrants during immigration enforcement proceedings. We need more transportation funding to facilitate an increase in removal flights, and more resources for detention beds and Alternatives to Detention, and to bolster our Family Expedited Removal Management, or FERM, process. [Emphasis added]

The rate at which Mayorkas’s DHS is releasing border crossers and illegal aliens into the U.S. interior is already historically unprecedented. As Breitbart News reported, those arriving at the southern border have less than a five percent chance of being deported from the U.S. within the same year.

Meanwhile, Fox News’s Bill Melugin reports that Mayorkas privately admitted to DHS officials that the rate at which border crossers and illegal aliens are being released into the U.S. interior exceeds 85 percent.

Biden’s easy-migration policies are deliberately adding the foreigners’ problems to the lengthening list of Americans’ problems — homelessness, low wages, a shrinking middle class, slowing innovation, declining blue-collar life expectancy, spreading poverty, the rising death toll from drugs, and the spreading alienation among young people.

Polls: Biden’s Migration Wrecks ‘Nation of Immigrants’ Narrative

President Joe Biden’s easy-migration policies have slashed Americans’ acceptance of the elite-imposed “Nation of Immigrants” narrative.

Forty-eight percent of Americans believe that Biden’s 5 million southern migrants will make American society “worse in the long run,” according to a CBS poll conducted January 3-5.

Just 22 percent of Americans — but 44 percent of liberals — believe the migration will make American society better.

Those numbers are echoed in prior polls by YouGov.

“I think a lot of the [pro-]immigration people figure, ‘Well, this [public mood] will pass,'” Mark Krikorian, director of the Center for Immigration Studies, told Breitbart News, adding:

But this [migration] is so bad, this is so unprecedented, that I think it’s entirely possible it will change the way a lot of people think about immigration for many years in the future.

The CBS report shows that a majority of Americans also believe that Biden’s choice to maximize immigration is threatening to Americans and their culture.

Fifty-two percent say Biden’s border is a crisis because it imposes “changes to U.S. culture and people.”

The mainstream 52 percent total includes 64 percent of conservatives, 49 percent of independents, 57 percent of blacks, and 47 percent of Hispanics.

Other polls show that more Americans are willing to openly describe Biden’s mass illegal migration as a government-sponsored “invasion.”

Biden’s migration has imported one migrant for every two Americans born during the last three years.

Fifty-four percent of respondents told an NPR poll in August 2022 that the migration is an “invasion.”

A January 2023 poll by Rasmussen showed that 65 percent of respondents endorsed the ‘invasion” term. The 65 percent includes 43 percent who describe the term as “very accurate.”

The “very accurate” description is endorsed by 43 percent of women, 33 percent of blacks, 28 percent of Democrats, 15 percent of liberals, and 36 percent of people with post-graduate degrees.

The polls show a growing rejection of the “Nation of Immigrants” narrative that was created and pushed by pro-migration groups in the early 1960s. The narrative says the United States needs migration to be prosperous.

But the elite-funded, K-12-enforced narrative was invented to help the 1925 law that had minimized migration — much to the benefit of the new American middle class in the years after World War 2.

The narrative was marketed by elites as both a moral cause and a Cold War strategy.

So the federal government restarted immigration in 1965, doubled it in 1990, and lifted border curbs in 2021. One result is that the American middle class has lost enormous wealth, status, and power to investors on Wall Street.

Under Biden, the current wave of migration is being engineered by his pro-migration border security chief, Alejandro Mayorkas. He is strongly backed by investor groups, including FWD.us, which is Mark Zuckerberg’s advocacy group for investors.

The Biden shift in public opinion is especially noteworthy because establishment media, investors, and Democrats are eager to impose a “conspiracy theory” stigma on Americans who worry that migrants will sideline them, their children, and their culture. For example, a Washington Post columnist wrote on October 27:

Rep. Mike Johnson, the newly elected House speaker, has repeatedly flirted with what’s known as the “great replacement theory,” the idea that Democrats are scheming to supplant American voters with immigrants. The Louisiana Republican’s views show how fringe conspiracy theories have gone mainstream in the Republican Party at the highest levels of power.

The growing opposition to the narrative has been boosted by the shocking display of antisemitism among immigrants that has spread to U.S. progressives. In an October poll, 52 percent of Jewish people in New York described immigration as a burden.

But there is vast evidence that Democrats and business groups are using the federal government’s migration policy to displace and replace Americans in high-0pportunity coastal cities and Fortune 500 jobs.

For example, “Massachusetts experienced a net outflow of 39,149 people to other states and a net inflow of 50,647 people from other countries,” in the year up to July 2023, LowellSun.com reported on January 8.

The replacement of Americans in Massachusetts is accelerated by the rising cost of housing because migrants will accept worse housing conditions. The LowellSun posted:

Many younger professionals and other workers have opted to transfer their skills elsewhere due to unaffordable housing costs. The state’s high cost of living would also likely factor into moving for family considerations, lifestyle and especially retirement.

Unsurprisingly, Mayorkas’s actions are also smashing Biden’s poll ratings. The CBS survey showed that Biden’s policy has the support of 30 percent of Americans — and opposition from 70 percent.

The 70 percent opposition includes 74 percent of whites, 58 percent of blacks, 68 percent of Hispanics, 40 percent of Democrats, and 56 percent of under-39s.

But 58 percent of liberals favor the policy, which has imported more than 5 million illegals in three years, so spiking housing costs and inflation while shrinking wages and high-tech investment.

Sixty-three percent say Biden should be “tougher on immigrants trying to cross the border.” Just 16 percent said he should be “easier on immigrants trying to cross the border.”

“Joe Biden is … now moving the public in a way that immigration hawks have never really been able to do,” said Krikorian. He continued:

Not because the border control wasn’t broadly popular — It was. But it wasn’t all that important and the problem didn’t look all that bad. One of the reasons Trump didn’t run on immigration [in 2020] was because most people figured he took care of it so there’s no problem anymore. Well, that’s not the case now.

“I think it definitely will mark a long-term rethinking of mass immigration on the part of a lot of people,” he added.

Extraction Migration

Biden has imported or accepted roughly 5 million illegal migrants for economic purposes in less than three years.

That Extraction Migration economic strategy has helped investors by inflating real estate prices and reducing Americans’ wages.

That flood is urged and welcomed by business groups because it cuts Americans’ blue-collar wages and white-collar salaries. It also reduces marketplace pressure to invest in productivity-boosting technology, heartland states, and overseas markets. and it reduces economic pressure on the federal government to deal with the drug and “Deaths of Despair” crises.

Biden’s easy-migration policies are deliberately adding the foreigners’ problems to the lengthening list of Americans’ problems — homelessness, low wages, a shrinking middle class, slowing innovation, declining blue-collar life expectancy, spreading poverty, the rising death toll from drugs, and the spreading alienation among young people.

‘We’re leaving!’: Rich Americans are ditching California and ‘taking their tax dollars with them.’ Here’s why they’re leaving — and where they’re headed

‘We’re leaving!’: Rich Americans are ditching California and ‘taking their tax dollars with them.’ Here’s why they’re leaving — and where they’re headed

The Golden State has lost some of its shine for its wealthiest residents.

California’s population dipped below 39 million in 2023, the lowest count since 2015, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Data shows the state lost 75,423 residents in 2023 — continuing a dramatic trend that started with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.

• The US dollar has lost 87% of its purchasing power since 1971 — invest in this stable asset before you lose your retirement fund

What’s concerning is not how many people are leaving — the state has experienced lopsided out-migration for decades, according to the Los Angeles Times — but who is leaving.

Analysis of the approximately 750,000 people who have bid farewell to California over the last three years has revealed that thousands more high-earning, well-educated workers have left the Golden State than have moved in.

This is a problem — as Joel Kotkin, a fellow at Chapman University, told the Los Angeles Times — because: “People who are leaving are taking their tax dollars with them.”

The wealthy: ‘We’re leaving’

California has the highest state income tax in the country. Technically, its income tax brackets end at 12.3%, but the state applies an additional 1% on personal income over $1 million — meaning its wealthiest residents must pay a whopping 13.3%.

Those ultra-wealthy Californians, the top 1%, typically pay between 40-50% of the state’s personal income tax revenue. And some have clearly had enough of propping up the state’s finances.

“I’m seeing anywhere from two to five clients a month calling me and saying ‘We’re leaving,’” Todd Litman, an estate planning attorney told Sky News. “They have $1 million to $2 million sitting in their IRA and they’re saying: ‘When I retire and start pulling that IRA out, I’m going to be paying 13% state income tax, so I don’t want to do that.’ So, they’re heading out because of that reason.”

It is not just wealthy residents leaving; businesses are also exiting the state — again due to high tax rates, punitive regulations, high labor, utility and energy costs, among other things.

That loss of vital income tax is very problematic for California, which is facing a record $68 billion budget deficit, largely due to an unprecedented drop in tax revenue.

Below the top 1%

For many of the wealthiest individuals, a 13.5% income tax rate is more of an annoyance than an economic hindrance. The same cannot be said for those a few tax brackets below.

In tax years 2020 and 2021, the average gross income of taxpayers who moved from California to another state was about $137,000, according to IRS migration and personal income data.

That would place those individuals in California’s largest state income tax bracket — at 9.3% — which applies to single filers who earn between $61,215 and $312,686 per year, or married couples filing jointly with an annual income of $122,429 to $625,372.

If you earned $137,000 last year in California, your estimated state income tax for 2023 would be $9,896, according to the SmartAsset tax calculator. And if you reduced your taxable income by maxing out your 401(k) contribution at $22,500 (the 2023 total) and your IRA contribution at $7500 (for those aged 50 and older), your estimated state income tax would be around $6,827.

That’s on top of federal income tax — which, with a household income of $137,000 would be around 22-24% — plus property taxes of around 0.71% and sales tax of at least 7.25%. That’s a lot of tax to pay each year — and it has stung Californians even more in the wake of COVID-19, when the nation has battled inflation and housing costs have soared to record highs.

If not California, then where?

Several hotspots for fleeing Californians are Texas, Florida, Arizona, Tennessee and Nevada. What ties these states together? They are all very tax friendly.

Texas and Florida experienced the highest population growth in 2023, according to Census data, with gains of 473,453 people and 365,205 people, respectively. Both states have no personal income tax — which could help wealthy individuals save thousands of dollars each year.

These tax-friendly states are particularly attractive to retirees, who don’t want to lose a sizable cut of their retirement benefits to the taxman.

If you’re considering moving states because you’re tired of paying high income taxes, it’s important to remember that personal income tax rates only tell part of the tax story.

You have to consider each individual state’s personal income tax brackets and the available deductions, exemptions and credits. Also remember that property and sales taxes can impact a state’s affordability.

For example, while Texas — the most popular destination for Californians — has no state income tax, it has one of the highest effective property tax rates in the country, at 1.68%. In a similar vein, tax-friendly Tennessee has the highest sales tax in the country, at 9.548%.

Of course, it is not just tax rates causing Californians to leave the Golden State, but that is a major factor — and it may end up hurting those who choose to stay, if the state’s economy suffers as a result.

Welfare Use by Immigrants and the U.S.-Born

Comparing program use by foreign- and U.S.-born-headed households

By Steven Camarota and Karen Zeigler, December 19, 2023

Excerpt: Analysis of this data shows both immigrants and the U.S.-born make extensive use of means-tested anti-poverty programs, with immigrant households significantly more likely to receive benefits. This is primarily because the American welfare system is designed in large part to help low-income families with children, which describes a large share of immigrants.

Extraction Migration

Biden has imported or accepted roughly 5 million illegal migrants for economic purposes in less than three years.

That Extraction Migration economic strategy has helped investors by inflating real estate prices and reducing Americans’ wages.

More than 7-in-10 households headed by immigrants in the state of California are on taxpayer-funded welfare, a new study reveals.

The latest Census Bureau data analyzed by the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) finds that about 72 percent of households headed by noncitizens and immigrants use one or more forms of taxpayer-funded welfare programs in California — the number one immigrant-receiving state in the U.S.

Governor Gavin Newsom and California Democrats are actively advancing a bill, initially proposed by Democratic Assemblyman David Alvarez, which offers discounted college tuition to Mexican citizens.

Alvarez asserts that this legislation, now signed into law by Newsom, has the potential to “unlock a significant untapped resource.”

Alvarez said, “We live in a dynamic border region where we need to educate more students to fill the jobs required for growth. This bill will allow low-income residents who live close to the border to attend local community colleges.” (Trending: Major Women’s Race Won By Two Men)

“The law will create a 5-year pilot program that allows students who live in Mexico and within 45 miles of the California border an exemption from out-of-state tuition rates.”

“This pilot program can unlock a significant untapped resource to prepare a more diverse population among our workforce,” Alvarez added.

Alvarez said, “There are students who might actually be U.S. citizens but happen to be living in the Baja region because of the cost of living, So there are some students who find themselves in that situation who don’t have a California residence because families can’t afford to live here.”

Dr. Mark Sanchez, Superintendent/President of Southwestern College in Chula Vista, CA said, “This is a transformational bill for the realities of our region. By expanding affordable access to our region’s community colleges, our binational students will be better equipped to enter our workforce and be a part of this thriving binational economy.” (Trending: Ilhan Omar Caught In Major Lie)

Bill Wells the mayor of El Cajon, said, “27% of the people that live in my town are Hispanic, and they’re asking me to make sure that we have low crime and good parks and safe streets. They don’t want me to be giving in-state tuition to people that live in other countries, foreign nationals, whether they be from Mexico or Ireland… people want us to be taking care of their kids and their community.”

“It’s really just kind of nibbling around the edges of the whole concept that borders just don’t matter, that we should just open up the borders and let anybody do whatever they want,” he added.

“Where does it end? Do we give unemployment benefits to people that don’t live in the country? Do we give unemployment benefits to people that aren’t even citizens? Do we give a free attorney to somebody that we give health care to people that aren’t citizens?”

 

No Border – Say Goodbye to America

By Brian C. Joondeph

Nobel prize-winning economist Milton Friedman scolded the Wall Street Journal for cheerleading an open-border immigration policy. "It's just obvious you can't have free immigration and a welfare state," he warned.

This leads to a “transfer state,” as the Heritage Foundation describes, the government taxing the upper and middle classes, transferring money to lower economic classes via subsidies and benefits.

In other words, “The transfer state redistributes funds from those with high-skill and high-income levels to those with lower skill levels.”

Heritage makes the assumption, “It takes the entire net tax payments (taxes paid minus benefits received) of one college-educated family to pay for the net benefits received by one low-skill immigrant family.”

What happens when that ratio changes to one financially sound family supporting not one, but two, three, or more families through ever-increasing taxes and families to support?

Which is why a welfare state in an open-borders country will eventually reaching a tipping point. Are we already there?

As reported by Fox News’s Griff Jenkins, “Encounters with illegal immigrants at the southern border have topped over 300,000 in December.” Do the math. That’s 3.6 million per year, more than the population of every U.S. city except Los Angeles and New York.

YouTube screen grab

How many migrants are not encountered? Those are called “gotaways” and Border Patrol estimates 1,000 per day, or 365,000 per year. DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas acknowledges, “600,000 illegal ‘gotaways’ crossed border in 2023, calls immigration system broken.”

These are estimates. But the real number is unknowable. Let’s say a million gotaways a year, making the total 4.6 million migrants a year, more than the population of L.A. added to America each and every year.

As most migrants are unskilled, unable to speak English, many illiterate and unemployable, they are by necessity, supported by American taxpayers for food, shelter, education, travel, health care, and clothing.

What does that cost? “NYC’s daily per-person cost to house migrants climbs to nearly $400.” What about health care? California plans to provide free health care insurance to all illegal migrants, at an annual cost of about $4,000 for each adult.

According to Judicial Watch the “Net cost of illegal immigration is greater than the annual gross domestic product (GDP) of 15 different states.”

Clearly this is not sustainable. U.S. national debt recently topped $34 trillion. With the current interest rate on the debt at about 3 percent, interest on the debt is more than $1 trillion per year. Interest alone consumes about a quarter of the $4.4 trillion in annual federal receipts, more than defense spending.

We will be borrowing money to pay the interest on previously borrowed money. Economist Herbert Stein observed, “If something cannot go on forever, it will stop“.

The something is America as we know it.

There is no interest in securing our national border. In a hyper-partisan Washington, D.C., this is one of few examples where Republicans and Democrats actually agree.

Democrats want new voters. Their policies and leaders are not so popular these days. Some 63 percent of likely U.S. voters think the U.S. is heading in the wrong direction, according to Rasmussen Reports. Only 24 percent of voters strongly approve of the job President Biden is doing.

Creating a new dependency class of tens of millions of potential voters serves Democrat electoral interests. Republicans don’t mind ceding power to the Democrats as long as their wallets are thick with cash.

Open borders provide cheap labor for the Chamber of Commerce Republican establishment. GOP lawmakers are rewarded with generous campaign contributions and other financial perks in exchange for looking the other way from an open border.

U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson visited the U.S.-Mexican border with a gaggle of Republicans, huffing and puffing about what a “catastrophe” exists at the border. So what? Lots of talk but no action.

Going back to his predecessor Paul Ryan, Republicans have fought Trump on building a border wall and applied no pressure on Biden to secure the border. They could defund any responsible agencies including Homeland Security and Customs and Border Enforcement until the border was secure,

They will probably vote to reward DHS with a new building, rather than holding them accountable, as they did with the weaponized and corrupt FBI. The DHS secretary, rather than securing the homeland per his job description, blames climate change rather than his inaction and incompetence.

The power of the purse and impeachment are unknown or enigmatic concepts to Congressional Republicans. Instead, the Republican Speaker is “advocating” for solutions. What a tough guy he is.

Financial ramifications are a fraction of the problem. What about the fact that there are millions of young, military aged men, from all over the world, including countries not friendly to U.S. interests, unvetted, with unknown backgrounds or intentions, now in this country?

How many are, as Trump would describe, “bad hombres”? Intent on crime or terrorism? The number of Chinese migrants crossing into America has risen dramatically.

If 4 million to 5 million migrants come to America each year, and 10 percent are troublemakers, that’s 450,000, the same size as the active duty U.S. Army.

Our enemies would not need to attack us from the outside, their militaries may already be embedded in America.

Is this migration? Or an invasion? And why is it being allowed, facilitated, and encouraged?

Rasmussen Reports ran a poll on X where 93 percent of respondents agreed that, “The current situation with migrants at the border with Mexico is an ‘invasion’ of the United States.”

KanekoaTheGreat on X summed it up well:

On President Biden's inaugural day, he introduced policies that incentivize illegal immigration:

• Paused Deportations

• Suspended "Remain in Mexico"

• Stopped Border Wall Construction

This surge in illegal immigration is a national security crisis, costing American taxpayers hundreds of billions per year. Major U.S. cities, grappling with the escalating financial burden, are slashing budgets for essential services such as fire, police, sanitation, and education. President Biden holds the power to halt this crisis that is draining America's resources.

This was no accident. Elon Musk correctly observed, “At this point, there is no question that this administration is actively facilitating illegal immigration.”

There’s more trouble besides an open border. Energy costs are up, and we are no longer energy-independent. America is fighting two proxy wars, in Ukraine against Russia, and in Israel against Iran. North Korea, China, and Taiwan are on deck.

Inflation has devastated middle class families. Homes are unaffordable. Personal and national debts are unsustainable. And finally, the cultural wars have destroyed Americans’ minds and sensibilities.

This deliberate effort to destroy America has a name. It’s the Cloward-Piven strategy, named after two communist sociology professors at Columbia University,

The four steps of the Cloward-Piven Strategy:

1. Overload and Break the Welfare System

2. Have Chaos Ensue

3. Take Control in the Chaos

4. Implement Socialism and Communism through Government Force

Number 1 is currently ushering in number 2. Number 3 will be determined next November. Donald Trump is the only hope to break the sequence. Another term of the architect Barack Obama, via Joe Biden, Gavin Newsom, or Michelle Obama, will guarantee number 3 and 4, and then it’s lights out for the America of the past 250 years.

Closing our border and enforcing existing immigration law would be a good place to start. Continuing on our current path is the “fundamental change” that Obama promised, and goodbye to America as we know it.

JOE BIDEN: GAMER LAWYER

So handing Joe $14 billion to secure the border, is in fact handing him $14 billion to open the border. That's seven times what President Trump asked for for the construction of a border wall, which actually would have secured the border

Abbott Blasts Mayorkas’ Claim: ‘The Only Climate That's Changed Is the Refusal to Enforce the Immigration Laws’

Pres. Biden’s open-border policies – not climate change – are to blame for the record illegal immigration into the U.S., Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said Wednesday, responding to DHS Sec. Alejandro Mayorkas’ claim that climate change is a “root cause” of illegal immigration.

Sec. Mayorkas made the claim earlier in the day during an appearance on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” while attacking Gov. Abbott for sending some of the illegal aliens who’ve broken into his state to Democrat-run, self-proclaimed “sanctuary cities” that claim to want them.

"The only climate that's changed is the refusal to enforce the immigration laws of the United States,” Gov. Abbott told Fox News Channel Host Sean Hannity. “You saw what happened four years ago when we had the lowest illegal immigration in 40 years,” Abbott added, citing border security policies instituted by former Pres. Donald Trump - which Pres. Biden immediately began reversing on his first day in office.

 

 

Biden should focus on securing the border and stop taking legal action against Texas’ efforts to secure its border, the governor wrote in a social media post:

“Mayorkas blames climate change for illegal immigration, not Joe Biden's open border policies. Biden is now suing Texas AGAIN for stepping up to stop illegal immigration. Time for the Biden Administration to stop the lawsuits and start to enforce federal immigration laws.”

“Climate change? Mayorkas is pathetic. The REAL reason illegal immigration records are being set is because Biden refuses to enforce immigration laws,” wrote in another post, vowing that Biden won't stop him from keeping Texans safe:

“We will send more buses and planes. We will continue building the razor wire walls that Biden wants to tear down.”

Sen. John Kennedy: Two Reasons Pres. Biden Is ‘As Popular as Herpes’ in Louisiana

There are two reasons that “Pres. Biden is about as popular as herpes” in his state, Republican Louisiana Sen. John Kennedy said in a Fox News Channel interview this week.

Sen. Kennedy was commenting on the Biden Administration’s discussions with Mexico about how to grant amnesty to the illegal aliens flooding into the U.S.:

“In Louisiana, Pres. Biden is about as popular as herpes. Why is that?  2 reasons:

“Number One: the people of Louisiana are not stupid.

“Number Two: They think the Biden admin is. They think that its stupidity runs from the river to the sea.”

“Exhibit A is the open border: Pres. Biden has dissolved the southern border,” Kennedy explained:

Our problems at the southern border are man-made – and that man’s name is Joe Biden. And, the people of Louisiana and the American people know it. Yet, he blames the media for his unpopularity. It’s hard to believe that the president could be that obtuse.

“There will not be a supplemental appropriations bill passed unless we take steps to secure the border,” the senator promised.

Kennedy then listed how “We could secure the border in six weeks, if we just did five things.”

 

 

Mayorkas’ DHS Claims 2.3 Million Illegal Migrants, but Hides Millions More

A report by the Department of Homeland Security says the agency has released 2.3 million migrants into the United States up to September 2023.

However, the report hides the entry or stay of at least three million additional illegal migrants via various other routes during President Joe Biden’s three years.

Overall, the multiple routes delivered an increase of at least five million illegal migrants — or roughly one migrant for every two American infants born during Biden’s presidency.

The report was leaked and then posted late Saturday by the Washington Post, whose editors picked a stark headline, “U.S. released more than 2.3 million migrants at border since 2021, data show.”

That headline — although understated — is an extraordinarily dramatic description of the huge migrant numbers admitted by Biden’s pro-migration border chief, Alejandro Mayorkas. 

It is also shocking because the true numbers have been successfully hidden by the established media from ordinary Americans for many years. 

The report says the 2023 inflow includes 370,191 people allowed in via the “parole” loophole, 909,450 people allowed while officials begin multi-year deportation proceedings, and 118,100 child migrants who are sheltered by the Department of Health and Human Services.

The Post‘s article about the DHS report — “Immigration Enforcement and Legal Processes Monthly Tables” — revealed long-secret deportation numbers: “The DHS data … show more than 4 million border-crossers have been expelled to Mexico, returned to home countries or otherwise removed from the United States over the past three years.”

But the Post‘s reporters also showed the headline claim of 2.3 million admitted migrants is understated because millions of additional migrants sneaked in via other routes and times.

For example, in the 17th paragraph of their article, they noted:

The 2.3 million releases by CBP do not include the roughly 365,000 unaccompanied minors encountered by the agency since 2021 who were transferred to the Department of Health and Human Services.

The vast majority of the “unaccompanied minors” are older teenagers seeking jobs in the United States, often in labor-trafficking networks that pay for their migration through Mayorkas’ border.

In the 27th and last paragraph, the Post’s reporters noted:

The report does not include estimates for the number of border-crossers who were detected by CBP but not taken into custody, a category the agency refers to as “gotaways.” CBP detected about 600,000 gotaways in 2022 and 389,000 in 2021, according to a May 2023 report by DHS’s Office of Inspector General.

Those two inflows — teenage workers and 2021-2023 “gotaways” — added roughly 2 million migrants to the official count of 2.3 million, yielding a total of roughly 4.3 million.

The DHS report only includes data up to September 2023. Since then, roughly 900,000 additional migrants have crossed the U.S. border in October, November, and December. If half were deported, then an additional 450,000 migrants should be added to the inflow numbers.

However, the official report — and the Washington Post article — also ignored Mayorkas’ decision to minimize deportations from the country’s interior, and his massive increase in “overstay” legal visitors who stay in the United States when their visas expire.

For example, under Trump, DHS deported roughly 500,000 illegals in 2018 and 2019, according to federal data. But Mayorkas has only deported about 250,000 people in three years — leaving roughly 500,000 additional migrants in the United States.
