HERE COME THE SPIES! - Chinese Illegal Immigrants Crossing US Border at Record Pace




AND JOE BIDEN WANTS TO MAKE SURE EACH AND EVERYONE OF THE INVADERS ARE REGISTERED TO VOTE DEMOCRAT FOR MORE!

The number of Chinese nationals illegally crossing the U.S. southern border has soared, with 452 detained near San Diego just between Saturday and Monday, customs officials told Fox News. 

Under the Biden administration, encounters with Chinese illegal immigrants surged to over 24,000 in fiscal year 2023 from only 450 two years earlier, marking a 5,200 percent jump. Since the start of fiscal year 2024 in October, the U.S. Border Patrol has already apprehended over 18,750 Chinese migrants at the southern border by the end of January, on track to outpace the 2023 numbers, the outlet reported. 

"That is a very scary prospect. We know that China does not like us. We know that we are in the crosshairs of China," Brandon Judd, president of the National Border Patrol Council, told Fox News. "And they are exporting so many people to our country, and you have to really fear about that." Judd also noted that most of the Chinese detainees are adult males of military age. 

In September, a group of Republican senators wrote a letter to Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas about the surge in Chinese citizens illegally entering the United States. "There have been numerous documented instances of Chinese nationals, at the direction of the CCP, engaging in espionage, stealing military and economic secrets," they said. 

"We cannot allow the CCP to undermine law and order here on U.S. soil," the senators added, "whether it's funneling fentanyl into our communities, stealing our intellectual property, setting up CCP spy police stations across the country, infiltrating our public school curriculum, or flying a massive spy balloon through our heartland."

Last week the Republican-led House impeached Mayorkas for his handling of the migrant crisis. The Democratic-controlled Senate is highly unlikely to vote to affirm the impeachment and oust Mayorkas.

 ASK YOURSELF WHY 94% OF THE RICH WANT JOJO REELECTED?

At the 2024 Forum, the global aristocracy vowed to ramp up censorship of dissenting opinion.  If they can successfully implement broad-based censorship of those with whom they disagree, there is no hope for the rest of us to throw off our shackles.  Period.  That is why the American Founders wrote — and enshrined — the First Amendment to the Constitution.

The elites versus the rest of us

The elites view radical, violent protest movements — and the groups that foster them, such as Black Lives Matter — with extraordinary tolerance and charity.  But when a true populist movement arises, and white, working-class Christians get uppity and threaten to vote for someone like a Donald Trump, they go into full “snit” mode and look down their noses in horror and approbation at the great unwashed.

Brexit, too, was an example of the elites being caught with their pants down.  They simply couldn’t believe that many folks would challenge the wisdom they so generously espoused from atop their political thrones.  With staggering and sickening hubris, these elites characterized Trump’s rise and Britain’s E.U. exit as “illegitimate,” “irrational,” and unforgivable effrontery — a revolt against “experts’” authority.  (To quote the “Church Lady” from the old Saturday Night Live skit: “Well, isn’t that special?”  It’s well past time these bureaucratic bedsores took one on the chin.)

This “revolt” is anything but irrational.  In America, the white working class has suffered through declining marriage rates, stagnant — or worse — wage rates...and even declining life expectancy. They see illegal aliens and robots taking jobs away from them while their values are denigrated on a daily basis.  They see the elites’ attempt to take their firearms away from them at the same time as they strive to import more and more aliens into their communities, some from terrorist hotbeds.  Their eyes widen as the powers that be force-feed them transgender bathrooms and mock Christianity while embracing Islam as a “religion of peace.”  They bust their butts and pay their taxes...and are rewarded by being called “hicks” and racists and homophobes, even as they see more and more people being given a free ride, courtesy of the government they partially pay for.

They know they are not the aggressors, but the aggrieved.  They are not the predators, but the prey.  They have a big target on their backs, and they are finally, logicallyreasonably, getting tired of it.

The elites don’t care.  They know the end result of their own policies.  They carefully pander to every type of minority, as these groups will be the majority in the very near future, and likely an overwhelming majority not that long after that.  In a twisted political dance, the “tolerant” elitists are already boldly discriminating against a bare majority...in order to prove to the large minority that they won’t discriminate against them!

Far too many unelected, bureaucratic pencil-pushers in Washington and Brussels have been granted nearly complete control over those they are supposedly to serve, due to the cravenness of their elected “bosses.”  These duplicitous diplomats and sanctimonious “servants” sneer self-righteously at those who they derisively say cling to their God and their guns, as they arouse themselves by marinating in their own supposed superiority.

The West and its signature values of limited representative government, respect for the individual, free will, free markets, discipline, work ethic, and reasoned faith led the world out of the Dark Ages.  Bizarrely and remarkably, the truth of the matter is that elites in the Western media, government, entertainment, and academia are now revolting against the same values that changed the world so much for the better.  Progressive?

In America, the Biden administration is putting the kibosh on gas stoves and, now, all new liquid natural gas export approvals, ostensibly to fight climate change — but, some believe, more likely just to piss off political opponents.  Mindbogglingly, various Western governments are essentially declaring war on farmers, or at least farming, again purportedly to combat global warming.  So what will 8 billion people eat?  The elites say, “Let them eat bugs!”  Indeed, you will eat ze bugs...and be happy!  The globalists at the WEF have taken it upon themselves to plan our subjugation.  In a sort of reverse Genesis, these would-be deities seek to save the earth from humanity.  At the 2024 Forum, the global aristocracy vowed to ramp up censorship of dissenting opinion.  If they can successfully implement broad-based censorship of those with whom they disagree, there is no hope for the rest of us to throw off our shackles.  Period.  That is why the American Founders wrote — and enshrined — the First Amendment to the Constitution.

The elites believe they know what’s best for everyone else, and the planet at large.  But in reality, they are far more concerned with what’s best for them — and their image as virtue-signaling champions of a supposedly utopian future.  It is up to us to ensure that their assault on logic, morality, and sanity does not succeed — no matter the consequences.

Yet during the years under Joe Biden, the plight of the poor working class, and now the middle class too, has worsened day by day, with little public noise being made about our survival—the “elites” have gobbled up the wealth once held by we, the people.

THERE IS NO GREATER DANGER TO AMERICA THAN THE DEMOCRAT PARTY

Why Are Our Basic Needs Being Ignored?

We are told that the poor will always be with us. That’s an historical, empirical fact, as well as a biblical one.

Yet during the years under Joe Biden, the plight of the poor working class, and now the middle class too, has worsened day by day, with little public noise being made about our survival—the “elites” have gobbled up the wealth once held by we, the people.

Wednesday morning, The Wall Street Journal broke cover on the issue of food prices:

It’s Been 30 Years Since Food Ate Up This Much of Your Income

Ongoing high costs lead food manufacturers and restaurants to keep prices elevated.

The expression “kitchen table issues” speaks to a crucial, massive voting bloc, yet coverage of these concerns is relegated to the back burner in pre-election “news.” A ludicrously self-important female entertainer, or a failing female presidential, un-nominated candidate are apparently more apropos to the American people than whether they eat and/or have a roof over their heads.

Over the past many months, much journalism has been making a lot of noise about cultural, or nominally political issues. Yet in that period, inflation continued its alarming pace and the people who are “just Americans” suffered increasingly. From Forbes:

In January, core CPI inflation, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, was up 0.4% on a monthly basis and 3.9% from a year ago. Economists had projected a 3.7% annual gain.

In addition to those closely-watched numbers:

  • Food prices were up 0.4% month-over-month and 2.6% compared to a year ago.

  • Shelter costs continue to rise, gaining 0.6% compared to December and 6% compared to January 2023.

  • Energy prices were down 0.9% on a monthly basis and are down 4.6% over the past 12 months. January marked the eleventh consecutive month energy prices have declined on an annual basis.

  • Gasoline prices were down 3.3% month-over-month and down 6.4% compared to a year ago.

While energy and gasoline are reported as slightly down (by less than 1% year-to-year), food and shelter costs continue to rise. This is bad news for both groceries and your mortgage interest if you hold a mortgage:

Skyler Weinand, chief investment officer at Regan Capital, says the hot January inflation report may push the first FOMC rate cut back to the second half of 2024.

‘Getting to the Fed’s magical 2% inflation target may prove more difficult than expected and result in elevated interest rates for a longer period of time,’ Weinland says.

‘We expect the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates two or three times in 2024, which is much less than the six rate cuts that the market expects.’

Yet contrary to the demands of reality, the Biden administration’s response to the American food crisis is bureaucratic, indirect, highly speculative, and federally self-enriching:

Biden-Harris Administration Releases Draft National Strategy to Reduce Food Loss and Waste

EPA, USDA, and FDA announce steps to reduce waste and increase recycling of organics to reduce climate pollution, save families and businesses money, and support a circular economy for all.

Today, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) released the ‘Draft National Strategy for Reducing Food Loss and Waste and Recycling Organics’ as part of President Biden’s whole-of-government approach to tackle climate change and promote a circular economy.

What does this actually mean? It means more government spending on programmatic/political grants. It means that the politicization of food continues as more actually go hungry. NPR reported that hunger has hit children the hardest:

The report [USDA, 2022] found that 44.2 million people lived in households that had difficulty getting enough food to feed everyone in 2022, up from 33.8 million people the year prior. Those families include more than 13 million children experiencing food insecuritya jump of nearly 45 percent from 2021 (emphasis added).

The “circular economy” federal folderol is in essence, a recycling of the United Nations’ stale political priorities; it’s a “climate change” issue with a hefty price tag.

And what about shelter? The data on the homeless is actually just as bad:

  • In 2022, counts of individuals (421,392 people) and chronically homeless individuals (127,768) reached record highs in the history of data collection [emphasis added].

  • Unsheltered rates are also trending upward, impacting most racial, ethnic, and gender subgroups.

Here’s this, from Reuters:

Rising rents push US inflation higher; rate cuts still expected in 2024

U.S. consumer prices rose more than expected in January amid a surge in the cost of rental housing, but the pick-up in inflation did not change expectations the Federal Reserve will start cutting interest rates in the first half of this year.

The increase in prices reported by the Labor Department on Tuesday was the largest in four months and occurred against the backdrop of labor market strength and economic resilience. But January is typically a strong month for inflation readings as businesses push through prices increases at the start of the year, which some economists believed were not completely addressed by the model used by the government to strip out seasonal fluctuations from the data [emphasis added].

Although federal COVID legislation prevented foreclosures and “supported” (read, “delayed-the- pain-for”) mortgage holders up into 2022, foreclosures are now on the rise:

U.S. Foreclosure Activity Shows Continued Rise In Third Quarter [2023], Approaching Levels Seen Before Pandemic

The Biden response to our citizens’ basic survival now is one of (firstly) political posturing, as well as expanding welfare—hence manufacturing more government dependence across the demographic board (excepting our voracious Feds and the elite, of course). However, the grotesque failures of the welfare state—dating back at least to FDR, and evidenced by the collapse of families and family farms, and attacks on Christian charity (bulwarks for national survival)—are clearly advancing in plain sight. The expansive funneling of our precious national survival resources to benefit on-going illegal immigration, now in full leftist swing, more than threatens our livelihoods today. After trillions of dollars spent on welfare programs, we the people are poorer than ever.

The political ghosting of Americans’ basic needs is more than obvious—in the verifiable absence of the discussion from the mainstream, and in the policies put forth by the prevailing regime, and this needs no substantiation. Expect to eat less, and watch the roof over your head. And, pity the poor, especially the working poor, who are once again taking the back seat—on everything.
