ILLEGALS LOVE MEXIFORNIA BECAUSE IT REMINDS THEM OF HOME
14 Migrants Rescued in California Wilderness near Border
El Centro Sector Border Patrol agents rescued 14 migrants who became lost in the Jacumba Wilderness after illegally crossing from Mexico into California. The rescues occurred in separate incidents during a four-day period ending on June 20.
El Centro Sector Border Patrol agents received multiple 911 distress calls between June 17 and 20 from lost migrants who illegally crossed the U.S.-Mexico Border, according to information provided by El Centro Sector Border Patrol officials. The recuses took place in the Jacumba Wilderness region in separate incidents.
During the four-day period ending on June 20, El Centro station agents responded to multiple 911 calls and carried out search and rescue operations. Three of the four incidents took place during the afternoon of June 17 where agents rescued six migrants lost in the mountain ranges located southeast of Ocotillo, California, officials stated.
On Friday, agents rescued two more migrants in separate incidents in an area west of Ocotillo, the report continued.
The agents carried out rescue operations again on Saturday leading to the saving of three more lives. The agents rescued another three on Sunday.
In total, the agents apprehended 14 migrants who became lost in the Jacumba Wilderness after illegally crossing the border. Two of the migrants required transportation by EMS personnel to nearby hospitals for heat-related illnesses. The remainder appeared to be in good health. Agents transported the healthy migrants to a processing station.
“CBP’s message for anyone who is thinking of entering the United States illegally along the Southern border is simple: don’t do it,” a CBP spokesperson told Breitbart Texas in response to an email inquiry. “When migrants cross the border illegally, they put their lives in peril. The terrain along the border is extreme, the summer heat is severe, and the miles of desert migrants must hike after crossing the border in many areas are unforgiving.”
“Individuals who cross illegally into the United States through the desert risk facing difficult terrain, unpredictable weather, dangerous wildlife, and abandonment by callous smugglers,” the CBP spokesperson said. “After crossing the border, smugglers often pack as many migrants as they can into locked houses with little to no sunlight, poor ventilation, and unsanitary conditions, making the houses a breeding ground for contagious diseases.”
The number of migrant deaths along the entire U.S.-Mexico border through the end of May stands at 203 — just 37 short of the 250 known deaths for all of Fiscal Year 2020.

Bill Maher Threatens to Leave California: You ‘Love to Be Up Everybody’s Ass’ But Can’t Manage Droughts and Wildfires
Comedian Bill Maher has not-so-jokingly threatened to leave California, arguing that the state continues to mismanage its water supply in the face of chronic droughts and wildfires.
On Friday’s episode of HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher, the Los Angeles-based comedian launched a tirade against California’s water mismanagement as well as the state’s tendency to over-regulate businesses and the lives of its residents.
“For a state that just loves to be up everybody’s ass all the time, water management might be a better place to direct that instinct,” Maher said. “When it comes to regulations, either go big or go home or I’m going to find a new home because my house is one gender reveal party away from burning down while I’m asleep.”
Watch below:
Indeed, Democrats, who’ve held power in the Golden State since 1970, currently hold veto-proof supermajorities in both houses of the state’s legislature. Still, Maher, who’s donated millions to Democrats, took issue with the state’s almond growers for cultivating the crop while the state contends with perennial droughts. Almonds require more water per pound than most other fruits or vegetables.
Maher used the subject of almonds to crack a joke about transgender star Caitlyn Jenner, who is running for governor.
“Californians can live without nuts. Just ask Caitlyn Jenner.”
Maher also excoriated the state for its tendency to over-regulate businesses and the daily lives of its residents.
“We are the most regulated state in the nation with more than 395,000 regulatory restrictions,” he said. “It is a constant nightmare of inspectors and permits and fees. In this state, if you get to your car ten seconds after the parking meter expires, it’s already gone and you’ll never see it again.”
