President Joe Biden’s budget includes a provision that provides billions of dollars in cash to illegal aliens with children.

The $3.5 trillion reconciliation bill extends the Child Tax Credit to anyone in the United States who provides an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, overturning a crucial safeguard against fraud. Federal law required a valid Social Security number to receive the cash transfer from the federal government. The potential payout for illegal immigrants is massive, with each family receiving a monthly payment of $250 to $300 per child.

A survey from the Pew Research Center found that roughly 675,000 children are not eligible for a Social Security number, making the tax credit expansion for illegal aliens cost between $2.025 billion to $2.43 billion a year. Other estimates put the total number of illegal children residing in the United States at more than 800,000.

Families, regardless of their legal status, would be eligible to receive checks of $3,600 per year per child. The Democratic bill would amount to a universal basic income for parents residing in the country. Under U.S. law, illegal immigrants are barred from enjoying the benefits of federal entitlements.

Tucson Sector Border Patrol agents found 11 migrants locked in a U-Haul box truck near the Arizona-Mexico border. The migrants, including a small child, had no means of escape from the locked cargo area.

Tucson Sector Chief Patrol Agent Sabri Y. Dikman tweeted a photo showing Douglas Station Border Patrol agents with a group of migrants. The agents found the 11 migrants locked inside the U-Haul box truck during an immigration stop a few miles east of Douglas, Arizona.

Human smugglers frequently pack migrants like cargo in the locked cargo areas of U-Haul trucks as they attempt to move them into the U.S. interior, Breitbart Texas reproted.

In August, sheriff’s office deputies in Refugio County, Texas, found 34 migrants locked in the suffocating heat of a locked U-Haul truck approximately 180 miles north of the Texas-Mexico border. The “human cargo” included some unaccompanied minors.

Laredo Sector agents also found smugglers using a U-Haul, this time to smuggle 27 migrants in the scorching heat. Officials reported the temperature inside the truck to be approximately nearly 107 degrees.

In June, Big Bend Sector agents found 33 migrants locked in a U-Haul near Van Horn, Texas. At least 12 of the migrants had to be transported to a local hospital for heat-related illness.

“Had our heroic agents not been able to free these trapped undocumented migrants, we could have seen 33 miserable deaths in this event,” said Big Bend Sector Chief Patrol Agent Sean L. McGoffin. “Smugglers do not care what type of misery they put people through as they take their money.”

Cuellar: We’re Still Getting Large Numbers of Migrants ‘Because They Feel That the Border’s Open’

IAN HANCHETT

2 Oct 20210

On Saturday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Cavuto Live,” Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX) stated that he disagrees with President Joe Biden on the border, “I think we need to make sure we have law and order. We need to make sure we secure our borders,” and that large numbers of people are still coming “Because they feel that the border’s open.”

Cuellar stated, [relevant remarks begin around 3:55] “Well, I mean, certainly, on the border, we certainly disagree. I think we need to make sure we have law and order. We need to make sure we secure our borders, and you’ve heard me speak so many times. And so, that — I mean, just in the valley yesterday, Neil, in one week, 12,200 people came in one week just in the valley. So, the numbers are still coming. Because they feel that the border’s open.”

Rio Grande Valley Sector Border Patrol agents found the remains of a suspected migrant hanging from a tree on a Texas ranch in Brooks County. The case is being investigated as a potential homicide, Sheriff Benny Martinez tells Breitbart Texas.

Brooks County Sheriff’s Office dispatchers received a call on Thursday from Falfurrias Station Border Patrol agents regarding the remains of a suspected migrant found hanging by the neck from a tree. Deputies and other law enforcement officials responded to the scene.

“We have never seen anything like this in our county,” Sheriff Martinez told Breitbart Texas on Friday. “We regularly find deceased migrants in this county, but never anything like this. This is what our deputies and the Border Patrol agents have to deal with here.”

Martinez said the circumstances surrounding the migrant’s death are confusing at this point.

“We aren’t sure if the migrant was hanged or if he did this to himself,” the sheriff explained. “We will have to wait on a full autopsy to figure out what really happened.”

The investigators reported both of the decedent’s feet were removed, most likely by animals. Deputies found one foot at the scene. A search will be carried out Friday to attempt to locate the other. Investigators also found two identification cards belonging to a Mexican male.

After documenting the scene, deputies moved the remains to the county morgue where they will attempt to obtain fingerprints from the severely decomposed body.
A full autopsy will be conducted by the Webb County Medical Examiner’s Office in Laredo, Texas.

Martinez said his deputies have processed the death scenes of nearly 100 migrants in Brooks County in 2021. In addition to the 98 found dead on ranches, the deputies also processed a fatal crash where 10 migrants died and 20 more were injured.

The 118 migrant deaths recorded this year compares to 34 found dead for the entire year in 2020, Martinez said. This represents a nearly 250 percent increase.

“I just returned from three days in our nation’s capital,” Martinez said. “We try to factually tell people how bad it is this year. Some seem to understand, but many claim we are making this up. This death, while an extreme situation, is yet another example of the tragic deaths occurring here.”

Illegal Immigration Is Not a ‘Victimless Crime’ – Just Look at Your Paycheck, Border Patrol Union Pres. Says

 By Craig Bannister | October 1, 2021 | 10:56am EDT

 

 

 

National Border Patrol Council Pres. Brandon Judd (Screenshot)

“When you look at enforcement at the border, this administration is a complete dumpster fire,” National Border Patrol Council Pres. Brandon Judd said Friday.

Discussing the illegal immigration crisis at the U.S. southwest border on Fox & Friends First, Judd said that the Biden Administration has a dangerous disinterest in the drugs and violent criminals illegally entering the U.S., because Democrats “want to appease their base”:

“When you look at enforcement at the border, this administration is a complete dumpster fire. It really doesn't care what is coming across the borders. And that concerns me, because we want to go after the criminality at the border, we want to go after the drugs that are flowing into the United States.

“But, if our hands are tied continuing to deal with these large groups of migrants coming across, the cartels are going to be able to push those drugs across and they are killing children in the inner cities, the suburbs, the rural areas. And, that’s really the problem and that is why everybody should be upset at this White House.

“They are doing nothing to stop all of the dangerous products that are coming across the border, because our hands are tied, because they want to appease their base.”

Illegal immigration is not a “victimless crime,” Judd responded, when asked about DHS Sec. Alejandra Mayorkas’ claim that illegal immigrants aren’t worth the trouble of removing them from the country, because they’re just hard-working farmhands breaking their backs to put food on the table.

After recalling the tragic death of Kate Steinle at the hands of an illegal immigrant, Judd told viewers to consider all the money that’s coming out of their paychecks to fund social programs and services for illegal aliens:

“They talk about illegal immigration as being a victimless crime and that is not true. Look at Kate Steinle.

“But, not just that: look at how much money of your taxes are coming out of your paycheck every single month. A lot of that money is because of the social programs, the social welfare that we have to give to those people that are coming to the country illegally.

“It is not a victimless crime. We have laws for a purpose; we need to enforce those laws. Secretary Mayorkas is dead wrong.”

EXCLUSIVE: Gulf Cartel Gunmen Shoot at Mexican Federales in Human Smuggling Attempt

Breitbart Texas / Cartel Chronicles

30 Sep 20210

Gulf Cartel gunmen shot at Mexican federal agents who were trying to stop vehicles loaded with dozens of migrants headed for the U.S. border.

The shooting took place this week near China, Nuevo Leon, a busy human smuggling route controlled by the Gulf Cartel. Breitbart Texas consulted with U.S. law enforcement sources operating in Mexico who revealed the Federales were in fact undercover agents with Mexico’s Attorney General’s Office working on a separate case.

The agents spotted a convoy of three SUVs driving north through Cadereyta and tried to pull them over. Rather than stop, the vehicles sped off and split up with two of the SUVs exiting toward another highway, while the third remained on the road. The truck had Nuevo Leon license plates PP-2101-A.

As the agents continued the chase, gunmen pulled alongside and began shooting at the agents. The agents tried to fight off the attack and called for backup from nearby authorities.

The gunmen fled as police vehicles joined in the chase. The cops managed to arrest the 20-year-old driver and rescued 30 migrants, including eight children. Two men from Guatemala sustained minor gunshot injuries during the shootout but are expected to recover. The driver of the vehicle has been identified as 20-year-old Brayan David Flores Cruz from Ciudad Mante, Tamaulipas. He remains under investigation.

The incident has drawn concern within Mexican authorities since criminal organizations rarely resort to violence to protect human smuggling operations. It is premature to know if this is an emerging trend.

At Least 116 Killed, 5 Beheaded in Ecuador Prison Gang Battle — Likely Linked to Mexican Cartels

Fights between rival gangs linked to Mexico’s two top drug cartels broke out in Ecuador’s Litoral penitentiary in the city of Guayaquil between Tuesday and Thursday, killing at least 116 inmates, five of whom were beheaded.

Prisoners used explosives, firearms, and knives in the three-day battle, which has injured roughly 80 people. At least five inmates were decapitated in the gruesome fighting, while several others were dismembered.

Ecuador’s prison director, Bolívar Garzón, told reporters local police “entered the prison on Tuesday and found 24 bodies” following the initial gang fights.

“[T]here was renewed shooting inside the prison overnight Tuesday into Wednesday and as police went through the prison wings one by one, they found scores more bodies, bringing the death toll to 116,” the BBC paraphrased Garzón as saying.

Ecuadorian authorities say the battle is almost certainly an attempt by rival Mexican drug cartels to establish regional authority through local gang members.

“The Litoral Penitentiary holds inmates from Los Choneros, an Ecuadorean gang which is thought to have links with Mexico’s powerful Sinaloa drugs cartel,” the BBC reported on September 30.

“But another Mexican criminal group, the Jalisco New Generation cartel (CJNG), is also trying to forge alliances with Ecuadorean gangs to seize control of drug smuggling routes leading from Ecuador to Central America from its Sinaloa rivals,” the broadcaster noted.

“The decapitations and the brutal nature of the violence seen inside the Litoral prison are hallmarks of the Mexican cartels, which often kill their rivals in the most gruesome ways to spread further terror,” the BBC continued.

Ecuadorian President Guillermo Lasso appeared to confirm the prison battle’s ties to Mexican drug cartels in a speech on September 29.

“It is regrettable that the prisons are being turned into territories for power disputes by criminal gangs,” he said.

Lasso declared a state of emergency in Ecuador’s prison system on Tuesday, enabling the federal government to deploy state police officers and soldiers to Litoral penitentiary.

Regional police commander Fausto Buenaño told reporters on Wednesday his officers were still finding “bodies … in the prison’s pipelines.”

Col. Mario Pazmiño, the former director of Ecuador’s military intelligence, told the Associated Press (AP) on September 29 the Litoral prison battle demonstrates that “transnational organized crime has permeated the structure” of Ecuador’s prison system.

“Mexico’s Sinaloa and Jalisco New Generation cartels operate through local gangs,” he added.

Authorities inside Ecuadorian penitentiaries face a “threat with power equal to or greater than the state itself,” according to Fausto Cobo, the former director of Ecuador’s prison bureau. He made the astounding revelation to the AP on Wednesday, adding that “while security forces must enter prisons with shields and unarmed, they are met by inmates with high-caliber weapons.”

Ecuador’s government has already described this week’s battle at Litoral prison as the worst gang-related violence and worst penitentiary massacre in the country’s history. The South American country has long suffered from prison violence.

President Lasso last declared a state of emergency in Ecuador’s prison system in July after several violent incidents killed over 100 inmates. The gang battles occurred throughout different penitentiaries over a series of days, however, and not all in one facility like that at Litoral this week.

EXCLUSIVE: Biden DHS Instructs Border Patrol to Expand Catch and Release

Internal documents revealed to Breitbart Texas show Border Patrol agents being instructed to cease expelling all migrant family units under the Trump era Title 42 Emergency COVID order. The instructions come after a federal judge ordered the Biden Administration to cease using the COVID-19 emergency order to immediately expel any family unit containing minors. The instructions to release the migrants into the United States took full effect Thursday.

The operating instructions to the Border Patrol come as the result of a September 16 injunction issued by D.C. District Judge Emmet Sullivan.

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and other migrant rights groups are challenging the CDC emergency order and secured an injunction, resulting in the migrant family unit releases.

Judge Sullivan’s injunction allowed for a 14-day stay to allow the administration to explore appellate options. The stay expires Thursday. As such, the CBP operational instructions will result in an increase in the number of migrant family units into the United States.

A source says the CBP instructions call for Border Patrol agents to cease processing Haitian national family units for delayed Title 42 repatriations to Haiti and instead release them under an ICE Alternative to Detention (ATD) program. ATD monitors the migrants with cell phones or ankle bracelets. A source within ICE says many of the costly devices are discarded after release.

Family units from Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala will no longer be eligible for return to Mexico under the Title 42 CDC order, according to the instructions. Migrant family units from these originating countries will also be released into the United States under ATD.

Family units from Mexico will be afforded the opportunity to voluntarily return. Should they choose not to, they too will fall under an ATD release option. The newly issued operational instructions do not apply to single adult migrants. Single adults will continue to be subject to the Title 42 CDC emergency order and expelled, according to the source.

The Biden Administration voluntarily reduced the application regarding family units earlier in the year. Of the more than 415,000 migrants apprehended as family units since October, the order was only applied to roughly a quarter. This fact was cited in Judge Sullivan’s injunction as reason to deny the government’s argument that the use of Title 42 CDC order was critical to combating the COVID-19 pandemic.

The initial impact to border communities will most likely be a 25 percent increase in migrant releases, so long as the current level of illegal border crossings remains consistent.

On Wednesday, as reported exclusively by Breitbart Texas, the Border Patrol surpassed all historical apprehension records for the southwest sectors.

Rival cartels reignited a bloody turf war for control of the central part of the border state of Tamaulipas. The fighting is manifesting itself through gruesome executions and targeted killings.

One murder took place on earlier this week when gunmen suspected of being part of the Cartel Del Noreste faction of Los Zetas left an ice chest containing a severed human head outside the Tamaulipas State Police headquarters in Ciudad Victoria.

The victim, Jared Antonio Zamora Mireles, was a mid-level leader of the Gulf Cartel in Ciudad Mante. Breitbart Texas has since obtained exclusive information revealing that Tamaulipas state police arrested Zamora on September 24 with his girlfriend and three other men. Authorities released him soon after. As Zamora walked out of the detention center, gunmen kidnapped him. His whereabouts were unknown until Monday when his head and a narco-banner were displayed.

One day before, gunmen dumped the bodies of two men and a woman in northern Ciudad Victoria. The victims were bound and shot several times. Hours before, another man was shot in the southeastern side of the city.

Nearby cities such as Xicoténcatl, Jaumave, Ocampo and Ciudad Mante have also seen a spike in murders, carjackings, and shootouts as the Gulf Cartel and the CDN-Los Zetas fight for control of drug territories.

Editor’s Note: Breitbart Texas traveled to the Mexican States of Tamaulipas, Coahuila, and Nuevo León to recruit citizen journalists willing to risk their lives and expose the cartels silencing their communities.  The writers would face certain death at the hands of the various cartels that operate in those areas including the Gulf Cartel and Los Zetas if a pseudonym were not used. Breitbart Texas’ Cartel Chronicles are published in both English and in their original Spanish.

Wed, September 29, 2021, 2:22 PM·3 min read

MEXICO CITY (AP) — An apparently long-running “extermination site” has been found outside Mexico's northern border city of Nuevo Laredo, officials said Wednesday night.

The location was discovered some weeks earlier and is being investigated within the context of dozens of reported disappearances along a segment of the highway connecting Nuevo Laredo and Monterrey since 2012, the National Search Commission said.

“The characteristics of the place allow the inference that it is an extermination site that has been used for years and until very recently, which will have to be confirmed by experts,” the commission's statement said. “This is the first site of these dimensions found in Nuevo Laredo.”

Searchers found burned human remains on the ground, multiple possible clandestine graves and a clandestine crematorium, it said.

Drug cartels frequently use such sites to burn or dissolve the bodies of their victims.

Located across the border from Laredo, Texas, Nuevo Laredo has been dominated for years by the Northeast Cartel, a fragment of the old Zetas cartel.

The head of the government’s National Search Commission, Karla Quintana, had told the W Radio station Tuesday that a “clandestine crematorium of considerable size” had been found just outside Nuevo Laredo, along with burned bone fragments. She said it had been set up and operated years ago, but had also recently been used.

Families of dozens of people who went missing on the highway between Monterrey and Nuevo Laredo this year expressed anger at the report, complaining that they had not been informed of the situation.

Angelica Orozco, who leads the relatives' group United Forces for Our Disappear in Nuevo Leon state, which borders Nuevo Laredo, said Wednesday that “it is very worrisome for us that the commission has come out with such alarmist statements without informing us.”

Her group said in a statement Tuesday that “these statements totally re-victimize, and cause anguish and torture for the relatives of the disappeared," because many may assume their loved ones may have been killed and burned there.

The commission's statement Wednesday night called for the inclusion of families of the missing in the efforts to investigate the site.

At least 71 people went missing earlier this year as they drove on the highway between the industrial hub of Monterrey and Nuevo Laredo. The victims include at least a half dozen U.S. residents.

Most of the missing are men who drove trucks or taxis on a road that local media have dubbed “the highway of death.” But the missing also include women and children and men driving private cars. Activists say about a half dozen men have reappeared alive and badly beaten after being abducted on the highway, and all they will say is that armed men forced them to stop on the highway and took their vehicles.

Quintana said earlier this year the disappearances may be related to turf battles between the Jalisco and Northeast cartels.

Raymundo Ramos, a human rights activist in Nuevo Laredo, said authorities have released little information about the discovery, but that in the past such sites have been found with large metal drums where bodies are soaked in diesel and burned beyond recognition.

“They should guarantee that (victim's) relatives have access to the information,” Ramos said of authorities.

Despite alerts from relatives of the missing in May, the state government of Nuevo Leon, where Monterrey is located, didn’t warn people against traveling on the highway until almost a month later, activists say. Authorities have since increased policing and security on the highway.

Gunmen Murder Mexican Journalist — 7th Killed in Mexico This Year

Gunmen shot and killed a journalist in Central Mexico, marking the seventh murder of its kind in 2021.

The shooting took place on Tuesday afternoon in Cuernavaca, Morelos, when 55-year-old Manuel Gonzalez Reyes was eating street tacos. A group of gunmen shot him and fled the scene, Expresion Politica reported. State officials have not released any statements on the case, however, the U.S. Embassy in Mexico publicly asked for an investigation into the murder.

Gonzalez Reyes founded an online publication called Agencia PM Noticias where he published stories on local crime and politics. Gonzalez Reyes had also taken part in local politics, however a motive for the murder has not been publicly revealed by authorities. The online publication organized the raffle to help cover the funeral cost.

In August, a group of gunmen shot 61-year-old Jacinto Romero Flores, a veteran journalist in Veracruz. The radio journalist had been previously threatened for his work in Mexico.
