A Lebanese migrant apprehended near El Paso, Texas, reportedly claims to be a Hezbollah terrorist. The Lebanese national claimed to be headed to New York and said he wanted to make a bomb.
Border Patrol agents arrested 22-year-old Basel Bassel Ebbadi, a Lebanese national, after he illegally entered the United States from Mexico near El Paso. “I’m going to try to make a bomb,” Ebbadi told Border Patrol agents when asked why he came to the U.S., according to an exclusive report by the New York Post .
Agents captured Ebbadi on March 9 after he crossed the border from Mexico into Texas. The agents transported the Lebanese man to the El Paso hardened facility for processing and investigation. Two days later, Ebbadi told the agents he was going to make a bomb. The agents moved the man to isolation and contacted the Tactical Terrorism Response Team to conduct an interview.

During the interview on March 12, agents Mirandized the man who later admitted to being a member of a foreign terrorist organization.
Ebbadi also reportedly admitted he trained with Hezbollah for seven years and served as an active member for an additional four years. His duties included guarding weapons locations.
During the first four months of Fiscal Year 24, which began on October 1, 2023, nearly 60 migrants illegally entering the United States have been identified as being on the terror watch list. Approximately 270 more were apprehended in the prior two fiscal years — shattering prior records.

If you thought 2023 was a record year for illegals crossing into the U.S, think again.
A new forecast holds that the U.S. is on track for a record additional 3.2 million illegal aliens coming into the states.
According to the Washington Examiner's Paul Bedard :
A record 3.2 million migrants are expected to cross into the United States this year, 1 million more than during past spikes in the Reagan and Clinton eras, according to a new outlook.
“We forecast U.S. southwest border encounters by Customs and Border Patrol at 2.7 million for FY 2024, based on the last three months of data, adjusted seasonally. Apprehensions look to come in just a hair above 2023 levels. Inadmissibles, those presenting at official crossing points without appropriate documentation, are slated to rise by almost 200,000,” Princeton Policy Advisors said in its latest analysis.
Which points to the biggest problem with Joe Biden's open borders crisis: It's not stopping.
There is no end in sight to each year being a record year for illegal aliens rolling into the U.S. despite Biden's claims to have taken measures to stop the illegal flow and get it all under control.
He's expanded and spread out the numbers of ways foreign nationals can get into the U.S. without authorization -- from the CBPOne border app to take asylum applications and set a port of entry date, to expanded asylum admissions for Nicaraguans, Haitians, Venezuelans and Cubans, supposedly vetted and with sponsors in the U.S., which is already falling apart as a claim.
He visited the border, never mind that it was a non-busy stretch of the border. Bedard noted that he neglected to talk with communities in the U.S. most affected by the crisis and ignored going to the funeral of a Border Patrol agent killed on the job.
Biden sent his men to Mexico City to work out a deal with the Mexicans to stop the flow, and even went himself , too, last year. The flow is now bigger.
Investigative reporter Todd Bensmann reported that there was even evidence of a secret "dirty border deal" between Biden and Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador to tamp down the flow of illegals until election day in the states in order to help both men's chances either for re-election or their party's reelection in each country.
But this was to no avail -- the border crossings are now higher than ever. Three million this year, four million next year, five million the year after. There is no end in sight so long as Democfrat policies remain in place.
And that shouldn't surprise anyone.
According to a Gallup poll taken in 2021, 900 million people worldwide would like to migrate, most of them to the U.S. The supply of migrants who want to come to the U.S., legally or not, is 16% of the world's population. The demand for residence in the U.S. on any terms is not going down down.
Bedard continued :
“Undocumented entry has exploded under the Biden administration’s Open Borders policy, rising from an estimated 1.1 million in 2021 to our forecast of 3.2 million for 2024,” the report said.
President Steven Kopits added in his report that at 3.2 million, the flood of illegal immigrants will likely swamp new job openings, creating preelection tension from blue-collar and low-wage workers over President Joe Biden’s open border policies.
“We forecast that undocumented entry will exceed U.S. job growth in 2024. Thus, the resentments seen last year will likely become exacerbated as the U.S. economy is unable to fully absorb arriving migrants. For President Biden and Democrats, this represents a huge risk. The path to defeat in November is not principally through disaffected independents and moderate Republicans, but rather through low-wage blacks and Hispanics who will turn to Trump in fear that another four years of Open Borders will gut their wages,” Kopits said in his report shared with Secrets .
Bedard also points out that there's a such thing as "full up" in the states, too.
In other words, the migrants entering now will not actually be able to find jobs, as jobs created in the U.S. are well below the numbers of migrants entering. That's just hard numbers.
The informal economy, such as we see in the bedlam taking over Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's district , with illegals selling stolen goods, donated goods, any goods, as well as their bodies, on the streets is also exploding.
There is also that emerging 'colonia' on the outskirts of Houston that is largely populated by illegals, an emerging shantytown if there ever was one.
A society that once had a taxed, rule-of-law economy with title deed and property rights, is now rapdily moving towards a third-world "informal" economy, where no taxes are paid and any "order" that exists is made and enforced by gangsters. You see that all over in the world's shantytowns.
How exactly, does that transformation service the interests of the U.S.?
More to the point, the majority of new jobs filled during the Biden administration have been filled by immigrants, legal and illegal . Biden's "great American jobs comeback" is not exactly about employing Americans. The data show that American workers are being shut out of these jobs in favor of immigration, meaning the urban and rural working classes of all colors aren't getting these jobs, and if they are, their wages are being down by the migrants.
As for Mexico and other countries that ship large numbers of migrants -- those wages American workers would have made --- have become migrant remittances to the home countries. Mexico and several other of these countries have seen record remittances since Biden's open borders policies, repurposed from the wages of U.S. workers.
As for housing, schooling and medical care -- there's already a shortage of those, too. Bedard didn't bring it up, but where are all these millions of migrants flowing in without cessation actually going to live and obtain the services they require?
The question goes unanswered though we are hearing from blue-city mayors warning about going bankrupt on the cost of migrant services if the migrant flow is not stopped.
It's not stopping.
Let's not even get into the high cost from crime and terrorism that also come of letting in all comers. The U.S. will soon become the headquarters of every illegal criminal organization in the world as criminals roll in. Nor the nations denuded of their workforces such as we see among Central American states, nor the nations that are falling into chaos in places like northern Mexico and Haiti as a result of the empowerment of gangs made rich on migrant "fees."
It's not going to stop under Joe Biden. And the consequences of that will be a tranformed America that is indistinguishable from the third world. Like bankruptcy, it happens gradually then suddenly.
One better hope and pray that President Trump is re-elected in 2024 to put a stop to it. We are staring down an abyss now.

Mayorkas on Biden Acting on Border to Save Resources: We Need Resources and It’ll End up in Court VIDEO
On Friday’s “PBS NewsHour,” Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas responded to questions on whether President Joe Biden will take executive action on the border to combat the surge at the border that is taking up resources by saying that “Executive actions in the past have been challenged in the court[s], and executive actions without the accompanying resources will not meet the moment.” And “We are always considering what we as an administration can do in the shadow of Congress’ failure to act, but we continue to believe that Congress must and can act. We must have them deliver the solution, rather than live with the problem.”
Co-host Amna Nawaz asked, “Now, we know the administration has been weighing executive action, under some kind of presidential authority that could bring those numbers down by restricting asylum access if people enter illegally. Will the President take that executive action?”
Mayorkas responded, “Amna, a couple of points: Very importantly, that what we are experiencing at the southern border is reflective of what the world is experiencing, the largest number of displaced people around the world since World War II, if not before then. And so, we mentioned the different nationalities of the individuals arriving at our border. That is what other countries across the Atlantic are experiencing and around the world, number one. Number two, the answer is exactly what the bipartisan group of senators presented to Congress, and that is legislation that provides for much-needed fixes to what everyone agrees is a broken system and much-needed resources to implement those fixes. Legislation is what is needed. That is what is enduring. Executive actions in the past have been challenged in the court[s], and executive actions without the accompanying resources will not meet the moment.”
Nawaz then asked, “But absent congressional action, because we know that that bill did not have a path forward in the Republican-led House, absent congressional action, does the President have authority? There is a section of the Immigration and Nationality Act that says he can suspend entry if he finds that entry of migrants is, ‘detrimental’ to the United States. Should he use that authority to bring down those numbers that you know are taxing resources in our system?”
Mayorkas answered, “We have not given up on Congress in terms of its ability to actually fulfill its responsibility to the American people. We are always considering what we as an administration can do in the shadow of Congress’ failure to act, but we continue to believe that Congress must and can act. We must have them deliver the solution, rather than live with the problem.”
Nawaz followed up, “So no presidential action imminent?”
Mayorkas answered, “I am not in a position to talk about the deliberative process. I can share with you that we deliberate, each and every day, how we can address the challenges that we confront. We hope that Congress does the same, meets the moment, and passes the legislation that was bipartisan in nature.”

Rigorously vetted' Haitian migrant flown into the U.S. accused of raping a disabled teenager in Massachusetts
What's Joe Biden's so-called "vetting" of illegal migrants worth?
Well, according to a report by Fox News's Bill Melugin, pretty much nothing.
That's right, nothing.
The man accused of this crime was a Haitian illegal who supposedly passed "a rigorous background check" after applying to get into the U.S. as an "asylum-seeker" through Biden's online CHNV parole program for Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans. That was a questionable program introduced by Biden in January 2023 to reduce the size of border surges in order to keep the Fox News cameras off of them. In so doing, the accused rapist then got flown into the U.S., and began his heinous crime spree in Massachusetts which claimed a vulnerable 15-year-old girl as his victim.
According to the left-leaning American Immigration Council:
On January 5, 2023, the Biden administration announced its intent to provide “safe and orderly pathways to the United States” for up to 30,000 nationals of Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela. The new program, formally known as the Processes for Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans (CHNV), allows certain people from these four countries who have a sponsor in the U.S. and who pass a background check to come to the U.S. for a period of two years to live and work lawfully, using a legal mechanism known as “humanitarian parole.”
According to the Voice of America :
Applicants legally enter the country once they prove they have financial sponsors in the U.S. and pass background checks. The humanitarian parole authority allows the approved applicants to live and work legally in the U.S. temporarily.
This Haitian passed a "background check," flew to the states on a flight that's still unclear whether it was free (the administration and its allies say such trips aren't free but already we see they've lied about "rigorous" vetting), got work authorization, and a host of other services from Uncle Sugar, yet it didn't take him long to start preying on Americans as standard violent criminal.
What kind of people is Biden importing into the country? It's as if he's importing Haiti's criminal class, a truly violent bunch, under the dynamic modern Latin American dictators use, which is to use uncontrolled crime to control the law-abiding population.
It doesn't sound like anyone did a background check that was worth anything. Who did his background check? Why did he pass?
According to a leftist AIC source quoted by VOA :
"Every person approved for parole is vetted by the U.S. government prior to being granted the status. The idea that people arriving through this government program are 'unvetted' or 'illegal immigrants' is flagrantly wrong," Reichlin-Melnick said.
A Department of Homeland Security spokesperson also told VOA those with approved applications and travel permission must buy a plane ticket to fly into the United States on a commercial airline — and they are screened and inspected when they arrive at a port of entry.
Neither of those sources explained how the accused Haitian rapist somehow got in with all that vetting and screening and inspecting.
And since he came in on "humanitarian parole," neither would say exactly what the “urgent humanitarian or significant public benefit reasons” for letting him in were, which is how parole is granted
What's more, many have asked where the hell was his sponsor? He reportedly wasn't living with his sponsor, suggesting that someone just signed him in and let him out, which ought to be investigated as some kind of fraud since that's not how sponsorship works. Meanwhile, officials just waved him through customs.
Back then, when Biden was touting his program, he insisted that his vetting would be "rigorous":
According to VOA :
During a speech on January 5, 2023, Biden said an applicant must have a lawful sponsor in the United States.
Then the applicant has to "undergo rigorous background checks and apply from outside the United States and not cross the border illegally in the meantime," Biden said. "If they apply and their application is approved, they can use the same app, the CBP One app, to present at a port of entry and be able to work in the United States legally for two years. That's the process."
The CBPOne app? The one that lets in 99% of its applicants? Again, there doesn't seem to be any vetting, any more than there was among the hordes of humanity transported out of Afghanistan in chaotic flights out.
It's worth nothing that all four of those countries are known to have emptied their jails, freeing their convicted violent felons specifically to migrate into the U.S., which underlines why this program is such a recipe for disaster In Venezuela's case, the convicts were reported freed under the condition that they migrate to the U.S. How many of them have gotten in under this program?
So many of Venezuela's criminals have in fact gotten in under Joe Biden's many open borders policies and programs that Venezuela's famously high crime rate has reportedly gone down.
Now we are facing a Haitian deluge as that entire country collapses into lawlessness, run by some thug named "Barbecue."
There are no doubt good and industrious Haitians who are endangered and should be able to come here as real refugees, the kind of refugees who go back when they can.
But obviously, Haitian criminals looking to hit the bigtime come in along with them, with Joe Biden's version of "rigorous" vetting, and they are getting in.
Congress needs to start looking into these claims of 'vetting' and demand real vetting, as well holding both officials who vet and sponsors of these criminals criminally responsible for the people they let in, too. There are already signs of fraud all over this program and Americans are paying the price.

DeSantis Announces Florida Law Enforcement Interdicted Vessel of Haitians with Arms, Drugs Monroe County Sheriff’s Office via AP 4:38
Florida law enforcement recently intercepted a vessel carrying Haitians armed with guns, drugs, and night vision gear, Gov. Ron DeSantis announced on Friday.
Speaking about the continued effort to keep the Sunshine State safe — particularly in the midst of the violent unrest in Haiti — DeSantis said Florida officers prevented 25 potential illegal immigrants hailing from Haiti from entering Florida.
“Just recently within the last couple of weeks — and this will be made public later today — our Florida Fish and Wildlife officers interdicted a vessel that had 25 illegal immigrants, potentially illegal immigrants, from Haiti,” the governor announced.
“In their boat, in their vessel, they had firearms. They had drugs. They had night vision gear and were boating very recklessly which would potentially endanger other folks,” he said, adding that the boat was “interdicted near the Sebastian inlet,” which is roughly 40 miles south of Port Canaveral.
“And those illegal aliens were turned over to the Coast Guard for deportation. So our folks have been doing this before we augmented this, and they’re gonna continue to do it,” DeSantis said, boasting of the “incredible amount of resources that are now on display.”
This is always a priority of officials, DeSantis said, but he explained that it is different now because there are more resources from the state, so it is an overall larger effort.
DeSantis went on to say that this issue — a matter of border security and illegal immigrants — should be the federal government’s responsibility, but the Biden administration has continued to shirk its duties and ultimately, the Coast Guard is “undermanned.”
“The Coast Guard does by and large a good job, but they’re undermanned. They’re under-resourced, so we’re filling those gaps,” he said. “I think one difference now is, and we see this with our folks that we have at the border, you have people coming across the southern border from all over the world,” DeSantis continued, explaining that at this point it would actually be easier for potential illegal immigrants from Haiti to fly to Mexico once flights resume and enter the United States on the southern border.
“I would anticipate if flights resume, that will likely be where a lot of those folks [go] who are trying to flee. If they want to come to the United States, they’re probably gonna go to Mexico and then come in through the border, knowing that Biden will just let everybody in,” he said.
WATCH:
DeSantis’s announcement comes just days after he announced the deployment of additional assets to the southern portion of the state due to the increased risk of illegal immigrants coming from Haiti. That move is part of Operation Vigilant Sentry, and the additional assets included 39 officers from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, 23 from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, 48 additional Guardsmen from the Florida National Guard, and 30 officers from the Florida Highway Patrol.
The decision comes as bloody gang violence rocks Haiti, which has continued to descend into chaos.
As Breitbart News reported :
The prime minister of Haiti, Ariel Henry, announced on Monday night he would resign “immediately” after the creation of a “Presidential Transitional Council” meant to take steps towards organizing a presidential election.
Henry’s announcement followed the near-total collapse of the country’s political infrastructure this week after he traveled to Kenya seeking law enforcement aid to subdue the increasingly powerful gangs overrunning the country. While Henry was out of the country, organized armed militias led by Jimmy “Barbecue” Cherizier, the head of the G9 Family of gangs, orchestrated a massive prison break and surrounded Port-au-Prince’s airport, making it impossible for the prime minister to return. Cherizier has, for years, demanded the ouster of the entire Haitian political class and last week threatened to plunge the country into “genocide” if Henry did not resign.

Over the weekend, the U.S. Southern Command (USSOUTHCOM) said it was airlifting non-essential personnel from the U.S. Embassy in Haiti amid the rising unrest.
Breitbart News’s John Hayward reported on March 14, “The U.S. Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) announced on Wednesday that the Marine Fleet Anti-Terrorism Security Team (FAST) has been deployed to Haiti to ‘maintain strong security capabilities at the U.S. Embassy in Port-au-Prince.’”
Sen. Roger Marshall: Democrats Want Open Border to ‘Build Their Census’
AP Photo/Edgar H. Clemente Democrats want an open border to “build their census,” Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS) said during an appearance on Breitbart News Daily , detailing the fight between Republicans and Democrats on the issue of border security.
Democrats in the Senate this week rejected the Laken Riley Act, and the White House has rejected it as well, urging Republicans to instead get on board with the highly flawed Senate immigration bill.

When asked by host Mike Slater why Democrats are opposing these legitimate efforts to secure the border and export criminal illegal aliens out of the country, Marshall said Democrats are actually trying to “build their census.”
“It is absolutely to build their census, so they can have more people,” he explained. “So when they do the census, the amount of government resources that are resources that go to your district is based upon that census, and they’re gonna be voting illegally.”
“And you know, so they help to grow their electoral college as well. California and New York are hemorrhaging people — people that are leaving because they’re tired of the violence. So they’re trying to backfill that so they keep the number of congressional seats, which adds to their electoral college,” he said, concluding that it is absolutely “politically motivated.”
LISTEN:
Further, Marshall said Democrats create crises and then think the government can solve them. But then, their solution actually causes more problems.
“Now the mayor of New York, Chicago are feeling the pain,” he said, explaining that they are now requesting monetary aid.
“It’s not going to solve the violence problems. To your point, the folks that came in from Venezuela, a lot of those are not good people. It’s a violent society. If you’ve ever been there, you understand just how violent that society is. These got-aways, 2 million got-aways in this country — there’s a reason they didn’t go through the regular process,” he added.

In Chicago, cartel-tied illegal Venezuelans trump transgender illegal aliens
Here’s an “only in 2024” story: It seems that, in Chicago, a cartel-linked illegal alien Venezuelan with a long criminal record apparently shot an illegal alien man who claims to be a woman and works as a prostitute. One would think the shooter would be sucked into Chicago’s criminal justice system and put away for life for past crimes and transphobia. However, the alleged shooter walked right out of jail without charges.
The story comes from the Chicago Sun-Times , with my edits for accuracy, as opposed to wokeness:
Early one mild morning last month, a transgender woman [i.e., a man] who recently migrated from Venezuela [i.e., almost certainly “migrated” illegal] was waiting for a ride outside a Little Village nightclub when a driver pulled up and made an ominous remark in Spanish.
“Bad gay,” he allegedly said before firing three shots at the [illegal alien transvestite] around 4:30 a.m. on Feb. 4. [He] was struck in the groin and both legs and left in critical condition, according to Chicago police records.
The police decided this was no ordinary crime—because in Chicago, merely shooting someone in the groin and legs, leaving them in critical condition is a “meh”—but was, instead, a “hate crime.” With this impetus, they were able to determine that the suspect was “a 29-year-old Venezuelan man who was linked to a drug cartel by federal authorities.” Moreover, in a U.S. Marshal document, he was identified as an “illegal migrant.” Well, that doesn’t sound very good, but he’s been allowed to walk because the police cannot find a good witness.
However, there’s a little problem with the guy:
He had been arrested two days earlier in Austin and hit with a list of charges, including felonies for illegally possessing a gun and ammunition, court records show. After a judge ordered him released that day, police records show he was quickly arrested again and brought in for questioning.
While he had been identified as the gunman and police had recovered key evidence — including a shell casing and video of the Ford Explorer used in the attack — Cook County prosecutors wouldn’t bring charges.
Later in the same article, we learn that, while in Chicago, “He was cited for driving without a license and blowing a stop sign, but the case was dropped the following day.” Is there nothing the guy can do to get arrested and stay in jail?
It turns out, too, that witnesses, including the victim, aren’t cooperating with law enforcement because this guy’s reputation precedes him:
A law enforcement source said the victim stopped cooperating because [he] believes [he] was targeted for being a sex worker and has fears about the suspect’s association with El Tren De Aragua, a violent Venezuelan gang known in South America for human trafficking and drug sales.
El Tren De Aragua isn’t just a violent gang. It’s the largest growing criminal organization in the world and, thanks to Biden’s policies, it’s here in America, along with (probably illegal) foreign nationals who are working as transvestite prostitutes. Combine this with leftist district attorneys, weak judges, and BLM-authored state bail laws, and we’re left with a system in which alleged criminals freely walk the streets…even when they’ve allegedly shot the left’s current favorite victim group.
This isn’t really much of a story nowadays. It’s pretty much par for the course. I just found it amusing in a black comedy kind of way because even intersectionality cannot stand against the Democrats’ complete destruction of any semblance of law and order in America. So, if you’re a repeatedly arrested illegal migrant with ties to a violent Venezuelan cartel, the streets are yours.
