CAN YOU NAME A SINGLE THING THE BAKSTER REGIME OF BARACK OBAMA, ERIC HOLDER AND 'CREDIT CARD' JOE BIDEN EVER DID FOR BLACK AMERICA OTHER THAN GIVE THEIR JOBS TO 'CHEAP' LABOR ILLEGALS?
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.

In many speeches, Mayorkas says he is building a mass migration system to deliver workers to wealthy employers and investors and “equity” to poor foreigners. The nation’s border laws are subordinate to elites’ opinion about “the values of our country,” Mayorkas claims.
Biden of course does none of these things, which is why the gates are now open for these new caravans rolling up from southern Mexico. And with Mexican officials helping them along the way, as well as shaking them down for cash, too, there is little doubt they'll find their way in and hold their hands out. MONICA SHOWALTER
Biden Losing Minorities
In his recent State of the Union, Joe Biden told Black Americans, "I have your back." The 2020 presidential election showed that this statement is not unreasonable -- according to polls, the Democrat candidate was supported by about 87% of black voters, as well as 67% and 63% of citizens with Asian and Hispanic roots, respectively. These are very serious figures -- at the moment, people of color make up 25% of the entire U.S. population.
That group of voters is expected to be critical to Biden's potential success on Nov. 5. It is easy to predict that most of the minority population is likely to vote for the incumbent. However, at the moment, the Biden administration has faced a tangible problem -- the level of support for the Democrat president among the above-mentioned groups is steadily decreasing.
According to FiveThirtyEight, in January 2021, Black Americans approved of Biden's work most actively -- at that time, the figure was 86%. After three years of his term, it can be concluded that his work with minorities failed -- approval ratings among Blacks dropped to 59%, and among Hispanics and Asians dropped below 50%.
A 30% decrease in support among a population (with a national indicator of 15%) initially predisposed to you is a heavy blow for Biden. It is necessary to understand the reasons why the most loyal group of voters trusts him less and less.
Initially, Biden's level of support among minorities was unimaginably high as well as the level of expectations from his presidency. It was assumed that the U.S. president would solve such painful problems as, for example, the migration crisis and the economy shaken due to the Covid-19 pandemic. And this is the case when the new administration crosses out the achievements of the previous one.
The transition of power from Donald Trump to Joe Biden in 2021 entailed rejecting strict migration policies, shutting down the Remain in Mexico program, and ceasing the construction of a wall on the border with Mexico. The result was that, over the past three years, 7.2 million migrants illegally entered the United States.
Biden is well aware of the problems on the border, but he and his government are not taking any significant measures to stabilize the situation. At the same time, White House press secretary Karin Jean-Pierre says that "the president has done more to secure the border and to deal with the issue of immigration than anybody else," spreading deliberately false information.
Biden himself is not very honest in his attitude towards migrants and asylum seekers in the United States. In his State of the Union, he used the term "illegal" instead of "undocumented person." Biden subsequently had to make excuses and confess that he regretted it.
It is probably worth recalling that such statements by Joe are echoes of his past, when in 1975, as a senator from Delaware, he spoke out sharply against "busing." During the Democrat primary in 2020, Kamala Harris recalled this fact to him, saying that she suffered from decisions promoted by Biden, in response to which he took a comfortable position, saying that local authorities were to blame and refused to recognize that he indirectly adhered to segregation policies.
In 2007, Biden made another resonant statement about Senator Barack Obama: "I mean, you got the first sort of mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy." Imagine if he said that today. Oh yes, nothing would have changed -- the Democrat media would not have written anything about it anyway because it was not Donald Trump who said it.
It is not less difficult for Biden to solve economic issues. The peak of inflation was passed in 2022; in February 2024, the figure was 3.2%, which is still higher than during the Trump presidency. Despite this, prices for basic goods that rose sharply in 2022 are not decreasing, and there are no trends toward changing the situation.
According to a 2020 Harvard poll, high prices and inflation hit Black Americans most painfully. Thus, 55% of them stated that they had serious financial problems, and 32% could not afford to buy a sufficient number of products. The increase in prices, rents, and the difficulties of doing business in conditions of high inflation led to the fact that people began to lose their money.
At the same time, Joe Biden presents as a great success of his presidential term the fact that the difference in the welfare of Whites and Blacks is now at the lowest level in the last 20 years. I wonder what the point is when the real standard of living stands in stark contrast to the president's statements.
No less acute is Joe's mental health. If you look, for example, at the pre-election debate between Trump and Biden in 2020, you can see that the latter at that time was almost able to express himself sensibly and explain his thoughts. If you look at him now, you can only see an old person who cannot do or say anything without prompting from his assistants.
The president either "doesn't want to answer questions," or "technically shouldn't be here,” or "oh, what I'm doing here" (just look at his hands at this point). Biden is not mentally healthy, no matter how much he claims otherwise. This is also evidenced by the large number of vacation weekends that he has taken since the beginning of his term (resting 40% of days -- something an ordinary man cannot dream of), and the small number of public appearances, and the quality of his performances in these rare moments.
That is not what we want to see when looking at the President of the United States.
The above problems certainly resonate not only with Blacks and other minorities. Joe Biden, losing the support of his loyal electorate, reduces his chances of winning in November. And, in fairness, his election defeat is likely to pave the way for a truly better future for the United States.

Poll: Immigration Bigger Issue than Inflation, Economy
President Joe Biden’s easy-migration policies are the top issue facing the United States, according to the latest Harvard Harris poll.
Immigration — not inflation or the economy — was cited as the top issue among 36 percent of 2,111 registered voters in the March 20-21 poll from Harvard’s Center for American Political Studies.
Thirty-six percent tagged immigration as the top issue, while 33 percent tagged inflation. Twenty-three percent picked the “economy and jobs” category.
Demographically, 39 percent of whites, 41 percent of Hispanics, 28 percent of Asians, and 28 percent of people aged 25 to 34 chose immigration.
Harvard Caps Harris Poll
Twenty-one percent of respondents said immigration is the top issue facing them personally, up four points from the prior monthly poll.
The poll matches the results from Cygnal polling, which surveyed 1,500 likely voters in 39 battleground districts from March 5-7, 2024:
Border security is now firmly the top issue (30%), up 11 percent since January and surpassing inflation which fell to 23 percent overall. Hispanic voters are driving this change with a 13 percent increase among these voters toward border security and away from other issues. Independents continue to care more about inflation, while Republicans are focused on border security, and Democrats are still expressing concerns over threats to democracy.
However, the issues of inflation and immigration are closely tied. For example, Biden’s immigration policy has imported at least seven million extra migrants, inflating costs for housing, autos, food, and other necessary items.
Fifty-eight percent of the 2,111 registered voters in the Harvard Harris poll also said Biden’s border is “getting worse,” and 73 percent want Biden’s deputies to toughen enforcement.
Harvard Caps Harris Poll
Many polls show migration is playing a central role in the 2024 election the establishment media’s efforts to downplay the pocketbook impact on Americans and the structural damage to the U.S. economy.
The Harvard Harris poll showed that 46 percent of respondents said immigration is Biden’s “biggest failure.” That score was almost double the 27 percent who picked “Weak leadership at home and abroad.”
Even the New York Times writers admit that Biden’s policies are bad for Democrats. “If Biden loses in November, this will be a major reason,” op-ed writer Bret Stephens admitted in a March 25 column:
Most Americans also understand that Biden and Kamala Harris pretty much ignored the crisis for years until Abbott and other Southern governors started sending migrants to places like Chicago and New York, and Democratic officials began to see the problem at their doorstep.
However, Republicans may yet drop the ball by treating migration only as an easy turnout issue for the base, not as an opportunity to persuade and attract conflicted swing voters.
In general, GOP donors do not want the GOP to use the immigration issue as a way to win new voters or election landslides. That strategy would require campaign promises to curb the inflow of foreign workers, consumers, and renters that donors demand.
The easy-migration policies are exacerbating Americans’ expanding 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.
Worse, the inflow of migrants reduces the incentive and ability of politicians, government officials, and business leaders to overcome their expanding political differences in ways that help reduce Americans’ problems.
Perhaps even more, it matters because Mexico's politics seems to be the model for Democratic Party politics these days as rage over Trump dominates. In California, ballot-harvesting has been adopted as a legal practice, in what's a straight-out cultural appropriation of Mexican politics. If the Democrats are planning to make themselves the "perfect dictatorship" along the PRI model of one-party rule, starting in California and taking that style national, well, the unhappy question is, what else are they borrowing from Mexican politics as they (without saying so, of course) borrow from the Mexican Model? Yes, it sounds far-fetched. But we also know how implacably angry the Democrats still are at the election of Donald Trump and how they like to get away with things.
As in 2016, Democrats advance a corrupt ruling-class candidate. Like the dead man Gary Ernst, Democrats want people to vote for Joe Biden so they can swap him out for Kamala Harris, already a beneficiary of voter fraud and with the exception of Xavier Becerra possibly the worst attorney general in California history.
Kamala Harris Urges Illegal Migrants to Help Elect Joe Biden
NEIL MUNRO
Sen. Kamala Harris promised Sunday to reduce detention space for migrants as she asked an illegal immigrant activist to help Joe Biden win the election.
BLOG EDITOR: WHY DIDN’T LAWYER KAMALA HARRIS TELL THE ILLEGAL TO GO HOME??? SHE’S THE ONE WHO AS ATTORNEY GENERAL OF CA DECLARED THAT NEARLY HALF THE MURDERS IN MEXIFORNIA ARE BY MEX GANGS!
“I’m undocumented … I can’t vote …What can we do during this election to help make sure that we get you elected?” asked Astrid Silva, who was brought into the United States as a child by her illegal migrant parents.
“You can tell people who can vote what life is like for you now, and what life can be like,” Vice President nominee Harris told the Nevada-based political organizer who runs the pro-amnesty Dream Big Nevada group, adding that:
We are committed to shutting down private detention centers and ending policies that have been about separating children from their parents at the border.
Harris’s comments may be a coded message to would-be illegal migrants and their supportive legal-immigrant relatives.
For example, if implemented, Harris’s promise to start “shutting down private detention centers” could cripple border enforcement. If the enforcement agency does not have commercial prisons to hold detainees prior to their asylum hearings, the agency would be forced to release waves of job-seeking migrants into the U.S. labor market.
Similarly, Harris’s promise to end “policies … about separating children” echoes the media-magnified demand by pro-migration activists that officials release migrant mothers and children when they cross the border. That demand would let migrant families freely travel to relatives — including their illegal migrant husbands and fathers — who are working illegally in the United States.
Last week in Nevada, I caught up with my friend @Astrid_NV, to discuss the Biden-Harris plan for immigration reform and how Dreamers can make a difference in this election.

— Kamala Harris (@KamalaHarris) November 1, 2020
Like Biden, Harris pushed the Cold War “Nation of Immigrants” claim, even though only about 10 percent of people in the United States are legal immigrants:
We want to have a president who understands we are a nation of immigrants. This is a country that was built and that has derived its strength from immigrants coming here over the generations.
Harris also tried to blur the legal and civic differences between illegal migrants, legal immigrants, and American citizens. For example, she told Silva:
Define who you are, and you tell the world who you are. Don’t let anybody ever put you in a box because they have a limited perspective on who can do what and who can be one.
[…]
We are all in this together. And so, chin up, shoulders back, right? We speak our truth and know that there will always be people applauding and supporting that even if you can’t see them at that one moment, know that there are so many of us who are supporting your leadership and the power of your voice. It’s really important.
Harris also claimed President Donald Trump vilified immigrants: “We’ve seen under the current president the kind of vitriol, the kind of hate, the vilification of immigrants in such a horrible way.”
But a Washington Post poll showed in April that Latinos are the strongest advocates for a near-total halt to legal immigration during the coronavirus epidemic and economic crash.
Biden’s 2020 plan promises to “reassert America’s commitment to asylum-seekers and refugees,” wipe out Trump’s asylum reforms, bar any deportations for 100 days, and end migration enforcement against illegal aliens unless they commit a felony.
Joe Biden’s asylum and open-border policies will destroy the American middle class by releasing millions of foreign migrants into the United States, Stephen Miller told reporters October 28. https://t.co/BaeLSIud7y
— Breitbart News (@BreitbartNews) October 28, 2020
Biden also wants to let companies import more visa workers, let mayors import temporary workers, and allow an unlimited flow of foreign graduates through U.S. universities into white-collar jobs. Biden would “exempt from any cap [the] recent graduates of Ph.D. programs in STEM fields.”
Biden also wants to accelerate the inflow of chain migration migrants and dramatically accelerate the inflow of poor refugees to at least 125,000 per year.
“The influx of low wage workers from all across the world will drive down incomes, drive down wages, deplete the middle class, bankrupt Social Security, bankrupt Medicare, bankrupt Medicaid, bankrupt federal entitlements, overcrowd schools, and overcrowd every hospital in the middle of a pandemic,” White House aide Stephen Miller told reporters on October 28.
“It is an assault on reason, it is an assault on law enforcement, and it’s an assault on the very idea of having a country, having a Republic,” Miller added. “This is not about left or right or Center. This is about between having a country, or not even having a country.”
Kamala Harris: Medicare for All Includes Illegal Aliens
https://mexicanoccupation.blogspot.com/2019/05/viva-la-raza-supremacy-hispandering.html
Harris, a guest on CNN's "State of the Union," said "I support Medicare for all. It is my preferred policy." She said she supports the bill introduced by Sen. Bernie Sanders.
"This is how they will destroy America from within. The leftist billionaires who orchestrate these plans are wealthy. Those tasked with representing us in Congress will never be exposed to the cost of the invasion of millions of migrants. They have nothing but contempt for those of us who must endure the consequences of our communities being intruded upon by gang members, drug dealers and human traffickers. These people have no intention of becoming Americans; like the Democrats who welcome them, they have contempt for us." PATRICIA McCARTHY
Expanded Health Benefits for Illegal Alien Kids in California

20 May 2016854
On Monday, California began covering health care for poor illegal aliens under the age of 19.
State enrollment estimates in the first year are expected to hit 185,000 of the 250,000 eligible minors, say state officials cited by the Associated Press. Legislative analysis of SB 4, the follow-up bill to shore up implementation of an earlier illegal alien public health care expansion bill, SB 75, details a budget allocation of $40 million toward the expansion. “Ongoing annual costs are estimated at $132 million General Fund.”
Among supporters of SB 4 were California’s most powerful unions and immigrant activist organizations. including the National Council of La Raza, Planned Parenthood Affiliates of California, the California Teachers Association and SEIU California.
Enrollment coordinator Claudia Carolina is working with schools in Los Angeles to publicize the program. The AP noted that outside the state Capitol, “health care and immigrant rights advocates celebrating the expansion turned their attention to their next goals. They want Medi-Cal – the state’s version of Medicaid – to cover income-eligible adults who migrated illegally …”.
An online KCRA 3 News poll via Facebook asked, “Should minors brought illegally to the U.S. be allowed to sign up for state-funded health care?” Respondents overwhelmingly said no: 62 percent rejected the idea, compared to 38 percent who said yes.
A bill analysis of SB 75 explains that it does the following:
Expands full-scope Medi-Cal coverage to children, regardless of immigration status, who currently would be eligible for Medi-Cal if not for immigration status, beginning when the department declares that systems are ready for implementation, but no sooner than May 1, 2016. Requires children eligible in this category to enroll in Medi-Cal managed care. Requires DHCS to seek federal financial participation (FFP), but requires coverage to be provided regardless of FFP. Requires DHCS to provide a semiannual status report to the Legislature until regulations have been adopted.
During a Los Angeles stop of the Chicago-based Rep. Luis Gutierrez’s (D-IL) National Immigration Action Tour of the United States, one audience member asked what would happen to her children if, presumably as illegal aliens, could not get on Obamacare. AB 60 specialist Carlos Leon explained that “there is insurance available for undocumented individuals and it does not have to be Obamacare.” AB 60 is the California law that allows illegal aliens to obtain driver’s licenses and disallows communication of immigration status from those licenses between Department of Motor Vehicles officials and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials.
Around 75 percent of unattended alien children (UAC) that entered the United States in fiscal year 2015 were ages 14 through 17, according to a U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Refugee Resettlement fact sheet. More than two-thirds of the total UACs were male in FY2015. 91 percent came from Guatemala, El Salvador or Honduras in that time frame.

THE DEMOCRAT PARTY WILL DESTROY AMERICA. HASN'T IT ALREADY???
"Fox’s Tucker Carlson noted Thursday that Obrador has previously proposed granting AMNESTY TO MEXICAN DRUG CARTELS. “America is now Mexico's social safety net, and that's a very good deal for the Mexican ruling class,” Carlson added."
JOE BIDEN'S INVASION:
Vying for issue number one among voters is an out-of-control open border with illegal immigration now hitting record highs as hundreds of thousands pour in. Cities are going bankrupt with the onslaught. Border Patrol agents are shutting down legitimate trade to "process" migrants. Hospitals are flooded with diseased and injured migrants, and schools are overwhelmed with indigent pupils speaking more than a hundred languages.
Biden rolls over like a lapdog for Mexico's el presidente
With elections on and Joe Biden hovering at around a 40% public approval rating, everyone can see that Joe Biden's starting to get desperate over his polls.
Vying for issue number one among voters is an out-of-control open border with illegal immigration now hitting record highs as hundreds of thousands pour in. Cities are going bankrupt with the onslaught. Border Patrol agents are shutting down legitimate trade to "process" migrants. Hospitals are flooded with diseased and injured migrants, and schools are overwhelmed with indigent pupils speaking more than a hundred languages.
Instead of change his policies to match what's written in law, Biden has sent his men down to Mexico to try to talk Mexico's anti-U.S. president, Andres Manuel Lopez-Obrador, into taking care of his migrant problem for him. AMLO, of course, is actually helping the migrants get in, which is a situation requiring assertiveness but there was none of that from Joe, just the image of a pleading lapdog.
According to the New York Post:
The White House sent Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Wednesday to meet with Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, hoping to obtain his assistance in slowing the wave of migrants crossing through his country on their way to ours.
The resulting “Joint Communique” from that parley reveals Mexico City has no interest in assisting an administration that won’t secure US borders.
The trip itself, scheduled during a holiday week when little gets done in either capital, reeked of desperation, and nothing in that communiqué dispels the stench.
Here's the main section of the declaration that came of it:
The two countries reaffirmed their existing commitments on fostering an orderly, humane, and regular migration. This includes reinforcing our partnership to address the root causes of migration, such as poverty, inequality, and violence, and for the two countries’ initiative for Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans. Ongoing cooperation also includes enhanced efforts to disrupt human smuggling, trafficking, and criminal networks, and continuing the work to promote legal instead of irregular migration pathways. Also, both delegations agreed on the importance of maintaining and facilitating the vital bilateral trade at our shared border.
President López Obrador highlighted the commitment of President Biden to pursue regular, orderly, and secure migration. He stressed the need to continue the diplomatic and political engagement with all countries in the region, as well as investing in ambitious development programs throughout the entire hemisphere of the Americas. Both delegations underlined the efforts that the Biden administration is pursuing through development assistance and humanitarian aid, as well as advancing new private investments in the region.
Which is garbage, pretty much regurgitated palaver about 'root causes' from Biden's border czar, Kamala Harris and her vaunted migration report, which mean nothing. We notice that she wasn't invited to this all-important meeting for Biden. She was just there in spirit.
More specifically, it's about money, and dropping sanctions for AMLO's crummy little socialist friends running the Nicaraguan, Cuban, and Venezuelan dictatorships. AMLO saw his opportunity with Biden, recognizing how desperate he was for Mexico to stop the migrants, and decided that now was the time to get the U.S. to drop sanctions on those countries, which is what they want, and get their hands into the money pots of the big greedy gringo capitalists with so-called "investments."
The Post points out that AMLO gets $55 billion in untaxed remittance cash each year, mostly from the U.S. and its illegal migrants, and he'd like to have more of that coming. That goes doubly so for the regimes of Nicaragua, Cuba and Venezuela, which don't have much of any cash coming in except migrant remittances. Nicaragua, for one, reported record remittances this week from its illegal migrants.
It's telling that Mexico dropped the words "democratic decline" as one of its root causes of illegal migration in the official statement, apparently on its own, in the Spanish version of the document. Someone noticed, and then Joe Biden rolled again, dropping those words from the U.S. version of the statement in English as if following Mexico instead of sticking to the agreed-upon statement.
The Hill described that embarrassing rollover here.
The Mexican version, identical save for the phrase “democratic decline,” caused an uproar among the country’s opposition, which has raised red flags over López Obrador’s institutional reforms.
López Obrador has derided institutions such as the country’s independent electoral authority as “neoliberal,” “conservative” and too costly for the country, pushing reforms and budget cuts to weaken them.
To Mexico’s opposition, López Obrador’s actions are the very definition of “democratic decline.”
Ildefonso Guajardo Villarreal, the top foreign policy adviser to opposition presidential candidate Xóchitl Gálvez, accused Mexico’s government on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, of “shaving off” the term after the White House published its initial version.
But the White House reissued the English language version of the statement hours later, this time without “democratic decline.”
We might note that democratic decline is present here, too, in the migrant-receiving country, but that's not what this is about.
It's about political cover for AMLO and his dictator-y acts, and AMLO's pals, in socialist hellholes such as Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua. They're all happy the heat's off on their increasingly oppressive dictatorships and the migrants are flowing outward.
Joe was happy to roll for them there.
Worse still, there was talk of amnesty for illegals in the document, an interesting switch for AMLO who historically has opposed illegal immigration of Mexicans to the states, viewing them as traitors to the motherland.
Now he likes that illegal immigration, which, as the Post notes, has brought him billions in remittances to play around with though the banking system. Who needs poor Mexicans to support when gringo will do it for him and the money is rolling back to him instead of the protests? Who needs potential rioters who otherwise would stand up against his own bad economic policies if they have to live in their own homeland? Migration is always a cash cow for Mexican governments and for more reasons than one.
What's bad here is that amnesty -- for DACA kids and longtime illegal migrants -- will encourage more illegal immigration, not less. After that, AMLO will stand there with his hand out again, knowing that Feckless Joe will come to him, ready to roll over again.
What an ugly disaster this meeting was, and what counterproductive things -- none good for Americans -- went on there.
Back when President Trump was in office, the U.S. was able to stand tall and hit Mexico with the right incentives to get it to change its behavior on illegal migrants and the border, shutting down the border and warning AMLO that there would be no trade until he played ball. AMLO was able to read Trump clearly and decided it wasn't worth his while to end trade with one of his top trading partners.
Now it's different. For AMLO, it's time to shake concessions out of the feckless gringos. He knows Joe Biden won't change his policies, so now he calls the shots. What a satisfying thing is it for him to see Joe Biden rolling over for him again and again, pleading for for one last belly rub from the Mexicans.

Gov. Gavin Newsom to Offer Health Insurance to the World’s Migrants in 2024 If They Can Get to California

Beginning January 1, 2024, illegal aliens residing in California will become eligible for taxpayer-funded health insurance — the first state in the nation to enact such a policy.
In June of this year, Newsom touted the budget agreement that will make California the first state in the United States to offer health insurance, subsidized by taxpayers, to the state’s estimated 4.4 million illegal aliens so long as they are low-income.
Starting in the new year, illegal aliens in California will qualify for Medi-Cal, which is California’s state-funded version of the federal government’s Medicaid program. Since 2015, only illegal alien children qualified for Medi-Cal thanks to then-Gov. Jerry Brown (D).
Likewise, Newsom expanded eligibility for Medi-Cal to illegal aliens 50 years and older as well as those aged 19 to 25. This latest expansion is set to add about 764,000 Medi-Cal recipients to the state’s health insurance rolls.
Elected Republicans in California have warned that expanding taxpayer-funded health insurance to illegal aliens “will certainly exacerbate current provider access problems” as Medi-Cal “is already strained by serving 14.6 million Californians — more than a third of the state’s population.”
Eventually, California officials project that more than 1.2 million illegal aliens will be using subsidized health insurance.
The new policy comes as California’s population dipped below 39 million residents this year, driven mostly by Californians fleeing the state. The year prior, about 300,000 Californians moved out of the state — the most of any state in the nation that year.

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.

Huge 'Exodus from Poverty' migrant caravan makes its way up from southern Mexico
In addition to the tens of thousands of migrants entering the U.S. without authorization each day now, a huge 8,000-15,000-strong migrant caravan called "Exodus from Poverty" is headed to the states from southern Mexico now.
They know full well that the border is open and Joe Biden is going to let them in.
According to the New York Post's editorial:
An estimated 8,000 people set off on Christmas Eve from the southern Mexican city of Tapachula.
Destination: the border that Joe Biden threw wide open and refuses to enforce.
Biden will do what he always does, blame Congress. But the failure is his alone.
He could stop this shocking wave of illegal migration at any time. He just doesn’t.
For one, although advocates would call this group “asylum-seekers,” one must face religious or political persecution in their home country to qualify for asylum.
This caravan advertises exactly what it’s about — carrying a banner with the slogan “Exodus from poverty."
Of its organizer, Luis Garcia Villegran, a purported Protestant reverend who was once charged with kidnapping in Mexico and who now calls his new gig shepherding migrants a religious mission:
... “Today we are the poorest of the poorest of those who are at the peak of need, those of us who do not have money to pay for visas or polleros,” said Villagrán, referring to human smugglers.
Villagran has vocally criticized American immigration policy in the past, calling it “domineering” and driven by a desire to “impose.”
There have been roughly 2 million migrant encounters at the US southern border in the 2022 and 2023 fiscal years.
Garcia Villegran is partners with one of the old migrant caravan leaders, Irineo Mujica, of Pueblo Sin Fronteras, who had reportedly been put away by authorities in Mexico, but not really. In 2018 he brought his ten thousand or so migrants in his caravan up to the Tijuana border before unceremoniously dumping them in the rain and skipping out. But he and his partner in crime are quite the media-savvy guys:
A 2021 profile in Mexico Daily described Villagran and fellow organizer Irineo Mujica as media savvy tacticians who attempt to manage perceptions of the migrant movement in addition to the thousands in their charge.
“GarcÃa is more pastor than protester: pensive, eloquent, cool-headed,” the outlet wrote. “Both understand the power of public opinion, and have a knack for politics and an eye for the cameras."
I have my doubts that Garcia has any religious views at all, but his migrants do roll into the states waving crosses and shouting religious exhortations, presumably to justify breaking immigration laws, in order to make Christians in the states feel guilty for having a nation with borders and not taking in every shantytown dweller around the third world who asks, including criminals. Sadly, pretty much all the religious lines on the Christian side are going along with Garcia's game, criticizing those who call for some kind of introspection about this money-making game as it always is.
So there't little doubt they're confident they're going to get in with this small city of migrants marching under the banner of escaping poverty. They're not even trying to hide behind phony asylum claims of escaping political persecution. Garcia Villegran's message is all about shepherding the world's poor to the promised land of free stuff for gringo to pay for. Call it a new version the gospel of wealth.
The Post's editorial notes that Biden could stop this caravan if he had the gumption to -- either by turning away the economic migrants at the border right away, forcing them to use the CBPOne app for an asylum appointment (they note that this is a useless exercise because it takes all comers including those who don't qualify) or demand that they apply for asylum in their first country of refuge, which is the international law standard.
Biden of course does none of these things, which is why the gates are now open for these new caravans rolling up from southern Mexico. And with Mexican officials helping them along the way, as well as shaking them down for cash, too, there is little doubt they'll find their way in and hold their hands out.
The Post notes that Biden's Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, will be in talks with Mexico's president on Wednesday. You can bet that those talks will go nowhere. The only thing that's certain now is that word is getting around among the world's migrants that you can cross the U.S. border and live here with impunity no matter how ridiculous your case and you don't even need to disguise that you are an economic migrant anymore. It's so bad now the huge caravans are forming. This one won't be the last.

THE NEXT MEXICAN INVASION IS AT HAND:
"Mexican president candidate Andrés Manuel López Obrador called for mass immigration to the United States, declaring it a "human right". We will defend all the (Mexican) invaders in the American," Obrador said, adding that immigrants "must leave their towns and find a life, job, welfare, and free medical in the United States."

"Fox’s Tucker Carlson noted Thursday that Obrador has previously proposed granting AMNESTY TO MEXICAN DRUG CARTELS. “America is now Mexico’s social safety net, and that’s a very good deal for the Mexican ruling class,” Carlson added."
"Many Americans forget is that our country is located against a socialist failed state that is promising to descend even further into chaos – not California, the other one. And the Mexicans, having reached the bottom of the hole they have dug for themselves, just chose to keep digging by electing a new leftist presidente who wants to surrender to the cartels and who thinks that Mexicans have some sort of “human right” to sneak into the U.S. and demographically reconquer it."

Record-Shattering 232K Migrants Apprehended in December
BOB PRICE and RANDY CLARK
Border Patrol reports indicate the Biden administration will shatter the previous record for the number of migrants apprehended who illegally enter the U.S. between ports of entry in December. An unofficial Border Patrol report shows that agents apprehended approximately 232,000 migrants in the first 28 days of December. With three days to go in the month, agents could apprehend nearly 260,000 by the end of the month.
Border Patrol agents nationwide apprehended approximately 232,000 migrants thus far in December, according to an unofficial Border Patrol report reviewed by Breitbart Texas. With three days to go in the month, this already shatters the previous single-month record of just over 224,000 migrants set just one year ago, according to the CBP Nationwide Encounters Report.
The Tucson Sector continues to lead the nation in migrant apprehensions in December. According to unofficial reports posted on X by Tucson Sector Chief Patrol Agent John Modlin, his agents apprehended 16,800 migrants just in the last week. This brings his reported total for the first four weeks of December to 73,500 migrant apprehensions. This represents the largest single-month total for the Tucson Sector since the last year of the Clinton administration, when agents encountered 76,245 in March 2020. In contrast, during FY20, President Donald Trump’s last full year in office, Tucson Sector agents apprehended only 66,076 migrants.
Since the new fiscal year began on October 1, agents have already apprehended more than 615,000 migrants.
