LYING LAWYER MAYORKAS SABOTAGES HOMELAND SECURITY FOR NEAR TO BE IMPEACHED LAWYER JOE BIDEN, DADDY TO CRACKHEAD LAWYER HUNTER

THE LAWS DO NOT APPLY TO THE LAWLESS LAWYER INFESTED BIDEN REGIME

“Mayorkas’ border charade is another case of ‘rules for thee, but not for me,’ by the Biden administration,” Vought said. 

Cuccinelli: Mayorkas’ Border Theatrics Hide Biden’s ‘Invasion’

WASHINGTON, DC - MARCH 11: Ken Cuccinelli, acting deputy Secretary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, testifies during a House Committee on Homeland Security hearing concerning the government response to the coronavirus, in the Cannon House Office Building on Capitol Hill March 11, 2020 in Washington, DC.

President Joe Biden’s deputies are hiding the huge inflow of migrants behind theatrical, ready-for-TV border inspections and arrests, says Ken Cuccinelli, former deputy chief at President Donald Trump’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

“This entire charade is intended to fool the American people into believing this administration is actually protecting and managing our Southern border – nothing could be farther from the truth,” said a statement from Cuccinelli, who has left the Heritage Foundation to join the new Citizens for Renewing America advocacy group.

He continued:

With record high numbers month after month, this administration is doing nothing short of facilitating an invasion of this country in violation of its obligation to the states to protect them from invasion under Article IV, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution.

Cuccinelli’s group was founded by Russ Vought, a top official at Trump’s Office of Management and Budget, from 2018 to 2021.

“We call ourselves the America First wing of the America First movement,” said spokeswoman Rachel Semmel. “Our group is essentially carrying on the fights that President Trump chose on America First issues, many of which the Republican Party previously hadn’t fought on,” she told Breitbart News. 

Biden’s border charade is run by DHS secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, a Cuban-born, pro-migration zealot who says migrants’ “dignity ” are  “foremost in our efforts.” However, his DHS agency is responsible for protecting Americans’ right to their own national labor market.

The border charade was illustrated by an August 7, New York Times article that showed how the migrants caught by border patrol officers detained are merely returned to Mexico, allowing them to rest before trying to sneak across the border again. This catch-and-repeat policy set by Mayorkas allows migrants to repeatedly walk through wide gaps in the border wall until they reach employers in New York and other coastal regions:

In the dark hours past midnight recently, several groups of men set out over the mountain’s jagged, gravel-coated slopes as the lights of El Paso twinkled in the distance. But as they descended, they were spotted by agents with the U.S. Border Patrol, who rounded up 16 of them along a roadside.

“The truth is, most people made it,” said Evandro, a 31-year-old Brazilian migrant, his eyes bloodshot from fatigue, who had watched many of his fellow travelers dash to freedom through a jumble of nearby mobile homes and ranches. “We were just unlucky.”

Jeremiah Blount, an El Paso agent, said he had encountered migrants bound for nearly every state. One group of migrants, he said, was arrested [and sent back to Mexico] on five consecutive days. “I ask them, ‘You haven’t made it to New York yet?”

The article concluded with a comment from one migrant who completed the game of chutes-and-ladders that Mayorkas has erected in place of Trump’s barrier of walls and repatriations:

José Luis, a 54-year-old car mechanic from Mexico, showed up at Casa del Refugiado, a shelter in El Paso. He had made his way off the mountain during the night, he said. He had managed to elude capture. “It took me a day to get over that mountain,” he said.

Since January, Mayorkas and his deputies have allowed roughly 700,000 migrants to cross the border, including at least 500,000 job seekers. They are also opening many side doors in U.S. immigration law to allow yet more migrants to get into the country even though Congress has set the annual legal inflow at roughly 1 million legal migrants per year.

Mayorkas is touting Biden’s chaotic extraction of wage-cutting workers from other countries as “a safe orderly and humane immigration system.”

The Mayorkas inflow comes as some Americans see wage gains amid a shortage of U.S. workers. But Mayorkas’ inflow — plus the growing impact of inflation — has reversed the trend of wage gains started by Trump’s policy of low migration and high growth.

Mayorkas is visiting the border on August 12, Cuccinelli noted.

“DHS, with help from Mexico, has been ‘cleaning up’ the part of the border in South Texas that Secretary Mayorkas is coming to visit today,” Cuccinelli said, adding:

Mexico has been working since last week to slow the flow of illegal aliens through that part of the South Texas border, and DHS has been moving the badly overcrowded illegal aliens to other parts of the border. … DHS has also been releasing illegals into the interior to clear them out of South Texas in advance of Secretary Mayorkas’ visit, regardless of their Covid status.

“Mayorkas’ border charade is another case of ‘rules for thee, but not for me,’ by the Biden administration,” Vought said.

DHS Mayorkas Allows 55 Percent of Migrants to Cross Border in July

President Joe Biden’s deputies excluded only 45 percent of migrants who were recorded at the border in July, and just 12 percent of migrants who bring children, border chief Alejandro Mayorkas admitted August 11.

The resulting July inflow is 29 times July 2020 inflow, even though the Title 42 anti-epidemic barrier rules allow border officers to exclude all migrants during the coronavirus threat.

The Biden welcome for migrants delivered 116,884 economic migrants into Americans’ workplaces, housing, and schools — even though the new inflow will further cut Americans’ wages and raise their rents.

Breitbart News reported August 10: “Adjusted for [rising] inflation, hourly compensation fell 2.7 percent in the second quarter, data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics on the nonfarm business sector showed Tuesday.

But border chief Alejandro Mayorkas used his ready-for-TV speech in Brownsville, Texas, to deny responsibility for the mass migration and to instead blame the record-breaking inflow of migrants on President Donald Trump and on the long-standing corruption and crime in Central America.

Yet Mayokos indirectly admitted that Biden’s pro-migration policies are inviting more migrants than Trump’s pro-American policies, saying:

Another reason [for the migration surge] is the end of the cruel policies of the past administration and the restoration of the rule of laws of this country that Congress has passed, including our asylum laws that provide humanitarian relief.

And Mayorkas threatened to deliver more migrants to Americans’ jobs and neighborhoods, saying:

In the coming days, our department will announce that we are making changes and improvements to how we process asylum claims. We continue to rebuild our immigration system to ensure fairness and promote equity.

The reference by the Cuban-born Mayorkas to “fairness and … equity” refers to his support for migrants. So far, Mayorkas has shown no concern for the many millions of Americans who are worried about their jobs and wages, their rents and kids’ schools, their children’s future, and their increasingly threatened political status in their own country.

 

In his ready-for-TV speech, Mayorkas wrapped his admissions and threats in confident claims that the border is just way too complicated for the U.S. superpower  to manage:

The situation at the border is one of the toughest challenges we face. It is complicated, changing, and involves vulnerable people at a time of a global pandemic …  We have seen my surges in migration before. We’ve seen them in the past, and migrations surges are not new.

Mayorkas also perfumed the asylum loophole that invites many rational migrants– including women who claim they were beaten by their husbands or threatened by local crooks — to claim they deserve American citizenship because of victimization at home. Migrants, he said, are:

…very quickly turned around and sent back. If they are not expelled, they are placed into removal proceedings, which are immigration enforcement proceedings. They are prosecuted for removal and are removed unless they make a successful claim for [asylum] relief and establish that they are entitled to remain in the United States [emphasis added].

Since roughly 2010, more than three million migrants have surged into the United States, usually claiming they need asylum. The migration-by-asylum is being cheered by progressives, Democrats, and the business executives who know that migrants will be used in the U.S. economy as workers, consumers, and renters.

The asylum migration is underway even as the U.S. government allows one million legal immigrants into the country each year. The two floods of migrants are adding one new migrant to the United States for every two children born in 2021.

Mayorkas’ staff invited selected reporters to ask a few questions after the speech. However, the reporters’ questions were about migrants’ concerns and disease — not about Mayorkas’s policy of putting migrants’ interests ahead of Americans’ concerns.

Mayorkas also suggested that his deputies are cracking down on his own policy of not punishing the many migrants who make repeated efforts to cross the border until they succeed.  But Mayorkas refused to provide any numbers, even though he has complete access to the data as DHS chief:

Our expulsion flights are now increasingly moving [detained migrants] into the interior of Mexico. So return [and] recidivism is not as easy [as it was before] … We are prosecuting individuals who have been previously removed from the United States.

Overall, investors and business coalitions want to import more migrants — even impoverished, ill, aging, or criminal migrants — because the migrants spike consumer sales, boost rental rates, cut wages, minimize management hassles, and so raise profits and stock values. The migrants also serve as clients for Democrat-run welfare agencies, and eventually, as voters for Democratic candidates.

But migration damages ordinary Americans’ career opportunities, cuts their wages, raises their rents, curbs their productivitycontradicts their political preferences, and fractures their open-minded, equality-promoting civic culture.

For many years, a wide variety of pollsters have shown deep and broad opposition to labor migration and the inflow of temporary contract workers into jobs sought by young U.S. graduates.

This opposition is multiracialcross-sexnon-racistclass-basedbipartisanrationalpersistent, and recognizes the solidarity Americans owe to each other.

The voter opposition to elite-backed economic migration coexists with support for legal immigrants and some sympathy for illegal migrants. But only a minority of Americans — mostly leftists — embrace the many skewed polls and articles pushing the 1950’s corporate “Nation of Immigrants” claim.

IMPEACH THE POS BIDEN FOR HIS SABOTAGE OF HOMELAND SECURITY!

As of June 30, Yuma Sector agents apprehended nearly 60,000 migrants who illegally crossed the border — an increase of more than 800 percent over the same period last year. Agents identified 27,779 of those as single adult migrants (up 702 percent), 28,349 as family unit aliens (up 999 percent), and 3,757 as unaccompanied minors (up 579 percent). July numbers are expected to be released by CBP officials later this week.

Breitbart Texas consulted with Mexican law enforcement sources who revealed that federal budget shortfalls and security concerns over armed cartel convoys are the primary reasons why the checkpoints were abandoned. Nuevo Leon and Tamaulipas state police forces recently placed some high-ranking INM personnel under investigation for working for the Gulf Cartel and others.'


Pentagon Deploying 3,000 U.S. Troops Back to Afghanistan in ‘Temporary’ Mission

The Pentagon announced Thursday it will deploy three infantry battalions, or roughly 3,000 troops, to assist with the reduction of American civilians at the U.S. Embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan, and the evacuation of Afghan Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) applicants from the country.

The battalions are already in the region, Pentagon press secretary John Kirby said during a press conference. They will move to the Hamid Karzai Airport in Kabul within the next 24-48 hours. Two of the battalions are Marine battalions while the third is an Army battalion. They will join the 650 U.S. troops already in Kabul.

In addition, a joint Army and Air Force support element of around 1,000 personnel will help with the processing of the SIV applicants, Kirby said. The element would move into Qatar in the coming days, he said.

Lastly, an infantry brigade combat team will deploy to Kuwait to be “postured and prepared if needed to provide additional security at the airport,” Kirby added. That brigade combat team would arrive sometime in the next week, he said.

“These forces are being deployed to support the orderly and safe reduction of civilian personnel at the request of the State Department and to help facilitate an accelerated process of working through SIV applicants. This is a temporary mission with a narrow focus,” he said.

The Pentagon cited a deteriorating security situation in Afghanistan as the reason for the deployment.

There have been an increasing number of reports from the region of Taliban forces seizing more territory as the Biden administration continues the wind down of the U.S. combat mission in Afghanistan.

Although the Trump administration began negotiations with the Taliban to withdrawal all U.S. combat troops by May of 2021, former President Donald Trump left office with 2,500 U.S. troops still in the country.

Trump criticized the Biden administration’s withdrawal in a statement Thursday.

“Had our 2020 Presidential Election not been rigged, and if I were now President, the world would find that our withdrawal from Afghanistan would be a conditions-based withdrawal. I personally had discussions with top Taliban leaders whereby they understood what they are doing now would not have been acceptable,” he said.

“It would have been a much different and much more successful withdrawal, and the Taliban understood that better than anyone. What is going on now is not acceptable. It should have been done much better,” he added.

Kirby insisted the Biden administration would still aim to withdraw U.S. combat forces by the end of August.

Human smugglers moved an unaccompanied six-year-old across the Arizona border from Mexico and then abandoned the boy.

Yuma Sector Chief Patrol agent Chris Clem tweeted images captured by border surveillance camera operators monitoring traffic along the Arizona border with Mexico. The images reveal smugglers moving a little boy across an irrigation canal into the United States.

The smugglers then directed the boy through a gap in the incomplete border wall system and parted ways.

Additional images show the boy with Border Patrol agents and medical staff.

Chief Clem reports that his agents have apprehended more than 4,700 unaccompanied minors during Fiscal Year 2021, which began on October 1, 2020. He stated that 500 of these were age 12 and under.

Elsewhere in the Yuma Sector, Border Patrol agents rescued two migrants who became lost in the desert after illegally crossing the border from Mexico into Arizona. Agents determined both suffered from severe dehydration.

A Border Patrol agent trained as an EMT began intravenous fluid to stabilize the migrants before moving them to the Yuma Regional Medical Center for additional treatment and evaluation.

As of June 30, Yuma Sector agents apprehended nearly 60,000 migrants who illegally crossed the border — an increase of more than 800 percent over the same period last year. Agents identified 27,779 of those as single adult migrants (up 702 percent), 28,349 as family unit aliens (up 999 percent), and 3,757 as unaccompanied minors (up 579 percent).

EXCLUSIVE: Mexico Abandons Border State Immigration Checkpoints near Texas

Mexican authorities abandoned at least two immigration checkpoints along the busiest highway used by cartel-linked human smugglers to reach the Texas border. The abandoned posts were revealed as U.S. authorities report record-setting numbers of migrant apprehensions in South Texas.

Breitbart Texas obtained exclusive access to a Mexican federal memo that revealed since early June, agents with the National Migration Institute (INM) were removed from the checkpoint in Cadereyta, along the highway that connects the Monterrey metropolitan area with the border city of Reynosa. Additionally, Breitbart Texas discovered that INM officials stopped manning their checkpoint south of Reynosa along the same highway. In the past, INM agents, along with Mexico’s National Guard and Nuevo Leon State Police, inspected vehicles traveling north for migrants in the country illegally.

During the month of July, Breitbart Texas took several trips along that highway to document the lack of law enforcement presence at both checkpoints. The two stations have tents and trailers that the agents would use while manning the checkpoints.

The route from Monterrey to Reynosa is used by the Gulf Cartel as the criminal organization continues to profit from the mass migration of Central Americans to Texas. Since the start of the year, the Gulf Cartel shifted its operational resources to prioritize human smuggling and has proven successful in overwhelming the detention capabilities of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

Breitbart Texas consulted with Mexican law enforcement sources who revealed that federal budget shortfalls and security concerns over armed cartel convoys are the primary reasons why the checkpoints were abandoned. Nuevo Leon and Tamaulipas state police forces recently placed some high-ranking INM personnel under investigation for working for the Gulf Cartel and others.

Tip Leads Mexican Border State Cops to Trailer Holding 141 Young Migrants

An anonymous tip about a parked tractor-trailer with voices coming from inside led Mexican border state authorities to rescue 141 migrants with hopes of reaching Texas. Almost half of the migrants were underage children and teens suffering from extreme heat and unsanitary conditions at the hands of cartel-connected smugglers.

The case took place this week in the municipality of Juarez, Nuevo Leon, 124 miles south of the border with Texas. Juarez is along a main highway that leads from the Monterrey metropolitan area to the border city of Reynosa.

After getting the 911 call, authorities responded to the intersection of Pedro Garza and Bernardo Reyes Streets in downtown Juarez. The police called for backup and began handing out masks while they waited for paramedics to evaluate the group.

Several migrants had to be taken to a local clinic for evaluation or be treated for severe dehydration. Mexico’s National Migration Institute took custody of the Hondurans, Nicaraguans, and Salvadorans.

While authorities were tending to the group, two men identified as 34-year-old  José Gerardo García Garza and 22-year-old Oscar Alejandro Villarreal Compean approached the trailer to inquire about the scene. Authorities then arrested them after learning they reportedly owned and operated the trailer.

183-Foot Drug Smuggling Tunnel Found Under California-Mexico Border

An international law enforcement effort led to the discovery and shutdown of a 183-foot tunnel being built to smuggle drugs, weapons, and people under the border into California. The sophisticated tunnel utilized electricity, a ventilation system, a rail system, and an electric hoist to move their illicit cargo from Mexico to the U.S.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations special agents teamed up with Mexican law enforcement officials in Mexicali, Baja California, to locate and seize a sophisticated smuggling tunnel on August 2, according to information obtained from ICE officials.

The team discovered a tunnel inside a home in Mexicali located along the border with California, officials stated. The tunnel ran approximately 183 feet at about 22 feet below the surface to a location approximately three feet north of the border wall in Calexico, California, officials reported.

While the tunnel did not yet have an exit in California, the entrance to the three-foot by four-foot tunnel measured approximately 12 feet by ten feet and utilized an electric hoist to lower the people or drugs underground. The drug traffickers installed an electrical system, ventilation, and a rail cart system to move their cargo through the tunnel.

“These types of tunnels enable drug traffickers to conduct illicit activities virtually undetected across the U.S.–Mexico border,” Cardell T. Morant, special agent in charge of HSI San Diego said in a written statement. “Discovering and shutting down these tunnels deals a major blow to drug trafficking organizations because it denies them the ability to smuggle drugs, weapons, and people across the border.”

“This is an ongoing HSI-led investigation with assistance from the El Centro Sector Border Patrol and the government of Mexico, HSI officials noted. “The HSI San Diego Tunnel Task Force thanks the government of Mexico for its cooperation in this investigation.”

Authorities seize 2.8 tons of meth and fentanyl at U.S. border

Law enforcement officials last week seized 2.8 tons of methamphetamine and fentanyl powder at a U.S.-Mexico border crossing in California, U.S. Customs and Border Protection announced Wednesday. Officials said that the drugs are estimated to be worth more than $12.9 million and that it is "believed to be one of the largest methamphetamine seizures in the nation's history."

"This amount of fentanyl and methamphetamine is enough to ruin countless lives and fund transnational criminal organizations," Pete Flores, CBP director of field operations in San Diego, said in a statement. "I'm proud of our officers' efforts at all Ports of Entry within the San Diego Field Office to intercept this and all smuggling attempts."

Officials said that on August 5, CBP agents encountered Mexican citizen Carlos Gerardo Symonds Saavedra, 53, attempting to drive his truck and trailer across the border. The manifest indicated he was transporting a commercial shipment of plastic parts, according to the Department of Justice. An initial scan of the truck and trailer found "anomalies," according to CBP, requiring more detailed examination at an inspection dock. During this second inspection, a canine team indicated there were illicit drugs in the trailer.

Officers seized 414 packages containing nearly 5,528 pounds of meth and 127 pounds of fentanyl powder at the Otay Mesa, California Cargo Port of Entry. Authorities also seized the vehicle.

Symonds Saavedra was arrested and faces federal charges that carry a maximum penalty of life in prison and a minimum mandatory sentence of 10 years, along with a $10 million fine. He was transported to the Metropolitan Correctional Center in San Diego and has been turned over to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Homeland Security Investigations.

"While this drug seizure is significant, we know that these transnational criminal organizations will continue to illegally smuggle their illicit drugs across our border," San Diego Homeland Security Investigations special agent in charge Cardell T. Morant said in a statement. "HSI and its law enforcement partners will remain vigilant in our mission to prevent these drugs from crossing the border and entering our communities."
