Psaki Blames Trump Administration for DHS Secretary’s Warning to Cubans, Haitians
Mayorkas: 'People Will Be Returned' to Cuba If They Flee by Sea
(CNSNews.com) - In a stern message to Cubans this week -- much sterner than the administration's messages to Central Americans -- Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said, "Allow me to be clear, if you take to the sea, you will not come to the United States."
On Thursday, Mayorkas said if Cubans attempt to make the trip, "people will be returned."
CNN's John Berman noted that Mayorkas came to the United States from Cuba in 1960 with his family, fleeing the Castro regime. "Is it fair to tell the people in Cuba and Haiti right now who want to flee, you know, dangerous situations, not to do so?" Berman asked.
Mayorkas responded:
It's a very important humanitarian message. It is a long-standing message from the United States. And the reality of it is that when people take to the sea, they put their lives in tremendous peril. Just in the last few weeks, we have seen approximately 20 people lose their lives by taking to the sea. It is extraordinarily dangerous. It is not worth the risk.
And consistent with long-standing practice, people will be returned. One cannot take to the sea and come to the United States. It won't work. And it is extraordinarily dangerous.
Berman followed up, "So you will return them to Cuba if they leave on a boat from Cuba?"
"That is correct," Mayorkas said. "And if they have a well-founded fear of persecution or torture, they are resettled in a third country. They are not resettled in the United States.
"And so, an effort to take to the seas, imperil one's life to come to the United States specifically, will not work. And that is an incredibly important humanitarian message."
Notably, Cuban-Americans living in Florida tend to vote Republican. Poor, uneducated migrants from south of the border tend to be viewed as potential future Democrat voters.
And just looking at the numbers, it's clear the Biden administration is not trying to slow the influx from Mexico and Central America.
The number of foreigners flooding across the border may even increase in the weeks ahead, if the Biden administration lifts the COVID-induced travel ban that allows some illegal aliens to be turned away.
Will Title 42 (expulsions for health reasons) be extended? Berman asked Mayorkas:
"So, that is something that we are looking at very carefully," Mayorkas said. "It expires on the 21st of this month. And what we do is we look at the data. We look at the science, the arc of the pandemic and make a public health determination as to whether or not to continue with the travel restrictions or to ease them in some regard in the best interests of the American public."
Berman asked Mayorkas why people "aren't getting the message you're sending about not coming to the United States?"
"Well, regrettably, the smugglers are also exploiting the vulnerability of the individuals, individuals who flee economic desperation, violence. And so we are trying to counter that narrative, and we're working very closely with the countries of origin.
"I was in Guatemala, but last week, to speak with the officials, including the president of Guatemala to address irregular migration. And we are receiving the increasing cooperation of those countries in addressing this issue."
He did not elaborate.
The Biden administration has reversed President Trump's remain-in-Mexico policy and stopped building Trump's border wall, signaling that this is a good opportunity for people from all over the world to come to the United States illegally -- despite the administration's protestations to the contrary.
Cruz: Cubans Are ‘The Only Immigrants’ Biden and Harris Don’t Want to Come
On Wednesday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “America Reports,” Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) argued that the Biden administration only has an aversion to people entering the United States illegally if they’re Cuban and “the only immigrants on the face of the earth that they don’t want to come to America are Cubans.”
Cruz said, “It seems for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, the only immigrants on the face of the earth that they don’t want to come to America are Cubans. That’s the only instance in which the Biden administration is expressing a resistance to people coming here illegally. In my home state of Texas, we have open borders. We had the Biden DHS releasing people, hundreds of thousands of people.”
Biden is using the military to ship illegal aliens across America
Tucker Carlson opened his show Wednesday night by announcing that he’d gotten information from a whistleblower about Biden’s latest activity to bring illegal aliens into America. It turns out that the military has been involved in secretly transporting illegal aliens (or as the military coyly calls them, “undocumented non-citizens”) to resettle them in America’s heartland. The administration is acting illegally and there’s a good argument every person involved – the President, Vice President, congressional Democrats, and the military officers signing off on this scheme – must be impeached.
As Tucker explains, in the last six months, despite explicit laws detailing orderly immigration (laws that reflect the will of the people through their legislature), the Biden administration has opened America’s southern border. Under Biden’s aegis, one million Latin Americans (plus people from African and the Middle East) have flooded into America...and then they’ve vanished. We know that the administration has been shipping them to Red states. What we learned from Tucker is that the United States military, which is sworn to protect America against invasions, is complicit in this conduct.
Here’s Tucker’s report. In addition to breaking the story, he makes an extremely important point about the fact that Biden and his puppet masters are deliberately and illegally changing America entirely against the will of the American people.
ICE confirmed the whistleblower’s claim:
And here’s Tucker’s conversation with Stephen Miller, who makes the case that what Biden is doing is not just illegal but is also unconstitutional and deserving of impeachment:
Of course, the current Democrat-run Congress wouldn’t dream of impeaching Biden. Instead, it is complicit in this plan. It is imperative that we get Republican control over Congress – although I must say that the current crop of Republicans is so cowed by fear of being tarred as racists, insurrectionists, or White Supremacists that they’re useless quislings. So, it’s not just imperative to get Republican control over Congress, it’s imperative to get courageous conservatives into Congress.
Once that’s done, let the impeachments begin – and I meant “impeachments plural.” Everyone in the administration and the upper levels of Congress is involved in what’s happening here – and what’s happening here is so grossly illegal it constitutes the most serious violation of these people’s oaths to abide by the Constitution and the laws of the United States. You could say that it’s turtles all the way down. Impeach Biden, Kamala, Pelosi, Schumer, Milley, and any other government official involved in this travesty.
And what about the illegal aliens now in America? You’ll hear that it’s impossible to deport so many. That may be true, but we’ve already learned that if you cut off benefits, most will self-deport. The first thing a conservative Congress should do is end all benefits for people here illegally – health care, education, housing, everything.
As I’ve said before, I don’t blame these people at all for leaving their shabby, corrupt, pathetic homelands for the more affluent America, especially because Biden has extended the (illegal) welcome mat for them. Bring in enough cheap, illegal labor, though, all with the expected potential to vote for Democrats, and we too will be a shabby, corrupt, pathetic country. The illegal aliens need to go back and fix their own countries, rather than drag down ours.

Biden's American Jobs Plan Is Devoid of Moral Values and Economic Realities
The American Jobs Plan is premised chiefly upon investing $621 billion in America's crumbling transportation infrastructure. The Biden administration claims, "Decades of declining public investment has left our roads, bridges, rail, and transit systems in poor condition, with a trillion-dollar backlog of needed repairs. More than 35,000 people die in traffic crashes on U.S. roads each year, and millions more are seriously and often permanently injured." These statistics related to infrastructure are misleading. While traffic deaths have risen appreciably from 2020 despite fewer people driving, the preponderance were caused by aberrant behavior, not infrastructure. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration statistics show that deaths resulting from impaired driving rose more than 9% since 2019, and failure to wear safety belts increased 15%. There can be little doubt that the White House's distortion of the causes of death is based on ulterior motives.
It is more likely that the vast investment in infrastructure is driven by the desire of progressives to consolidate economic and political power. It can scarcely be called legitimate. The most damning evidence for this view is that specific places and people that such projects are intended to help are strikingly absent. Similarly, the costs for each of the (unnamed) projects are not supplied, nor are safeguards to control cost overruns included. In fact, the Plan is alarming for anyone who typically asks, Why? What? Where? When?
Another commentator has already noted a similar lack of specificity in Biden's so-called Fact Sheet on Domestic Terrorism. The so-called jobs "Plan" provides a lot of vacuous generalities that serve the purpose of dramatically expanding the federal government but vacuously ignore specifics.
Economically, there is no long-term financial plan to pay for improvements without both raising taxes across the board and further increasing the already burgeoning national debt. Think of the fabulous expansion of railroads in the 19th century. The government did not pay for the expansion of the railroads but incentivized the railroads to invest in the project by providing land grants to the railroads for every mile of new track laid. They found a way for the government to support the private sector to accomplish infrastructure goals.
So many economic issues affecting the USA are ignored by this document. Honest hardworking people are becoming increasingly alarmed about the loss of our energy independence, acerbated by the shutdown of the Keystone XL pipeline, resulting in higher fuel prices and transportation costs of goods to market. More importantly, the shutdown led to the loss of thousands of jobs. The shift away from natural gas– and oil-generated power in favor of electric power for cars, and solar power and windmills for homes, will lead to tremendous employment dislocation. Yet these likely dislocations are not addressed in a meaningful way by the so-called Plan. As a Plan, it is therefore strangely disconnected from the stated goals of the administration.
The issue of job development cannot be properly addressed without seriously addressing inflation. Despite the attempts of Janet Yellen to downplay the threat of inflation even as our national debt surges to unprecedented levels under the Democrat give-away-the-store public spending, this elephant in the room is not addressed in the Jobs Plan even in passing. The consumer price index has already risen 1.4% in the past year. Earnings have begun to stagnate while taxes reflexively will escalate to meet the rising demand for increased social services, which the administration is ready to offer to non-citizens as well as citizens. These are portents of trouble.
When the many key issues of economics are not properly addressed by a document that is more propaganda and posturing than truly analytical and issue-oriented, many bad consequences are sure to follow. Why? The answer is simple: the fiscal and philosophical fundamentals have not changed. The virulent evil of China's communist dictatorship and its footprint in our national economy must be reckoned with. We must avoid becoming a command economy like China, but compete under free-market strategies, meanwhile shrinking our reliance on government. If we are to survive, we must shrink, not increase, our dependence on a government-driven and controlled economy. If America is still to be the dominant economic powerhouse, our strategy must change. So must our priorities.
The moral dimension of jobs and work requires that we determine our own future through the classical dignities of work and self-reliance. How ironic that we citizens are offered an American Jobs Plan while thousands of illegal so-called refugees are being admitted who will undermine our economy. They will take jobs away from actual citizens, and they will depend upon social services that will drain and undermine the economic life of citizens through excessive taxation and a skyrocketing national debt. The American Jobs Plan is for Americans, yet without borders, there is no country. We control who comes here and how. This does not make us racist, narrow-minded, or xenophobic. It is the rule of law, which makes us American.
We cannot endure as a country by leveraging large amounts of long-term debt and cultivating an inflationary economy. American life is and should always be a renewal movement built upon the dignity of being an American — a living hope directed by discipline, virtue, and above all order. Therefore, it takes time, energy, and courage. Most of all, it requires character and a manifestation of moral truth to set an example. We do not need the stream of ideological pap and "green" thinking that has been emanating from the Democrats. We do not need a jobs plan that has no plans. Moral realities combined with non-green economic realities must be embraced and put forward as an alternative to the bogus jobs plan of this administration.

Inflation is Surging as Wages are Falling - People are Unprepared
Biden’s Border Predicament
By Mark Krikorian
National Review, July 5, 2021
Excerpt: Asylum is the loophole that renders moot the entire body of immigration law. There is no possibility of regaining control over immigration without either detaining all asylum-seekers until they receive a decision, and deporting those who don’t qualify, or making them wait in Mexico for their hearing date. The Biden administration refuses to do either, and so the border crisis the president created by ending Trump’s Remain in Mexico program will continue.
Rep. Ashley Hinson: Democrats Transfer Border Wall Funds to Plants Trampled by Illegal Aliens
A Democrat-approved spending budget for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) strips previously approved funds for a wall along the United States-Mexico border and transfers the money to be spent on plants that are trampled by illegal aliens, Rep. Ashley Hinson (R-IA) says.
On Tuesday, House Democrats on the House Appropriations Committee approved their DHS spending budget, which, as Breitbart News reported, revokes all funding for a border wall and expands upon President Joe Biden’s “sanctuary country” orders by making it increasingly difficult for federal immigration officials to deport illegal aliens.
No House Republicans on the committee voted for the budget.
Hinson, who unseated U.S. Chamber of Commerce-endorsed Democrat Abby Finkenauer last year, said the budget actually siphons $100 million — previously approved to continue building border wall — to treat plants that have been trampled on by illegal aliens crossing the U.S.-Mexico border.
“While bill today cuts our funding to CBP by more than $900 million with no new money for border agents, tucked away in Section 211 is a provision that transfers $100 million in funds that were previously enacted for border security,” Hinson said:
So where is this money going when it’s ripped from CBP’s anemic budget? It is instead going to plants that have been trampled by illegal immigrants. It’s certainly not being used as I believe it was intended to be used which is to secure our border. [Emphasis added]
…
Ladies and gentlemen, our southern border is open for business and the cartels are a hungry customer walking through our doors … we need to secure our borders, we need to protect Americans, that’s our job. [Emphasis added]
The budget provision mentions that $100 million previously approved for border wall construction will now be spent on “mitigation activities.”
The budget states:
The Committee continues to be concerned about the impacts of border barrier construction on sensitive lands and wildlife along the southwest land border, including in national wildlife refuges, national forests, national monuments, wilderness areas, and on imperiled species. To address these concerns, the bill provides authority to use up to $100,000,000 of available prior-year funds appropriated for border barrier construction for mitigation activities, including land acquisition, related to the construction of border barriers on federal land. Authority is also provided to allow for the transfer of funds to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Bureau of Land Management, the U.S. Forest Service, and the National Park Services for the same activities. [Emphasis added]
The budget, among other things, cuts Customs and Border Protection (CBP) funding by almost $930 million and reduces Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) funding by $1.5 million compared to the current fiscal year’s spending levels.
Also, the budget rescinds the previously appropriated $2.06 billion for border wall construction and provides no funding for additional U.S. Border Patrol agents.
Most consequential, the budget prevents ICE agents from deporting an illegal alien who applies to sponsor an Unaccompanied Alien Child (UAC) and illegal aliens whose only criminal history is possession of marijuana.
While revoking all funding for border wall construction, the Democrats’ Department of Defense budget spends nearly a billion of American taxpayer money on border security for foreign countries such as Jordan, Egypt, Lebanon, Tunisia, and Oman.

Radical Democrat Rashida Tlaib: ‘We Must Eliminate Funding for CBP, ICE,’ and DHS
Radical Democrat Rep. Rashida Tlaib (MI) on Tuesday, during a conversation with Julie Mao from Just Futures Law on digital walls, borders, and deportations, said the United States needs to stop funding the Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
Tlaib, answering a question, said, “[The United States] must eliminate funding for our CBP, ICE, and their parent organization DHS.”
She continued, “time after time, we have seen it as advocates on the ground, as human services agents on the ground, to continue to see over and over again to see that these agencies are inept.”
She then added government organizations are supposed to be “humanely guiding migrants through our immigration system and further continue. Instead, they further continue to terrorize migrant communities located within our communities.”
The RNC War Room shared the video of the exchange on YouTube:
Recently, reports showed the Appropriations Committee in the radical Democrat-controlled House of Representatives released their funding bill for the DHS for the fiscal year 2022. It notably decreased the funding for the “border controls and interior immigration enforcement, including stripping funding from border wall construction.”
Additionally, they reduced CBP funding by almost $930 million and $1.5 million for ICE, compared to the previous year. More so, the “budget rescinds the previously appropriated $2.06 billion for border wall construction and provides no funding for additional U.S. Border Patrol agents,” according to reports.
The report continued:
It also allows up to $100 million that was previously designated to build a border wall to instead go to the Department of Interior.
Meanwhile, the budget shifts funds of $132 million for “new technology” along the border, a longtime talking point of Democrats and establishment Republicans who argue that a virtual wall is more feasible than physical barriers that stop or deter border crossers.
For ICE, the budget provides $332 million less towards the agency’s Civil Immigration Enforcement Operations while spending $475 million to expand alternatives to detention for illegal aliens that more easily allows detainees to be released into the U.S. interior.
“The budget prevents ICE agents from deporting an illegal alien who applies to sponsor an Unaccompanied Alien Child (UAC) and illegal aliens whose only criminal history is possession of marijuana,” the report explained.
