Biden Admin Slows Migrant Drop-Offs in Texas After Governor Orders Them Bused to DC
Texas officials report the Biden administration stopped dropping off released migrants in many cities across the state following Governor Greg Abbott’s order to start busing them to Washington, D.C. From the Texas Panhandle to the Rio Grande Valley, Texas city officials sent the State requests for assistance in offering bus transportation for any released migrants who voluntarily want to catch a ride to the nation’s capital.
The Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM) dispatched multiple buses to areas where community leaders expressed concerns about the federal government dropping off migrants in their cities, TDEM spokesman Seth Christensen said in a written statement. He said Texas “has the capability to send as many [buses] as necessary to fulfill the requests from mayors and county judges.”
“From the RGV to Terrell County, a large majority of the communities that originally reached out for support through this operation have now said that the federal government has stopped dropping migrants in their towns since the governor’s announcement on Wednesday,” Mr. Christensen added.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced orders Wednesday for state officials to charter buses to transport migrants to Washington, D.C. in response to the Biden Administration’s plans to end the Title 42 coronavirus protection protocol and begin large-scale mass releases, Breitbart Texas reported.
“To help local officials whose communities are being overwhelmed by hordes of illegal immigration who are being dropped off by the Biden administration, Texas is providing charter buses to send these illegal immigrants who have been dropped off by the Biden administration to Washington, D.C.,” Governor Abbott said during a press conference on Wednesday afternoon in Weslaco, Texas. The governor said the first drop-off location will be the U.S. Capitol steps in the nation’s capital. He added that the bus rides are completely voluntary from the migrants’ perspective.
“We are taking them to the United States Capitol where the Biden administration will be able to more immediately address the needs of the people that they are allowing to come across our border,” the governor added. The governor signed the letter to TDEM Chief Nim Kid ordering the action.
“Texans have a backbone and the will to secure our border,” Abbott stated. “Two things that Joe Biden does not have.”
In addition to the busing program, the governor also announced that the State will begin enhanced safety inspections of commercial vehicles crossing the border from Mexico.
“A zero-tolerance policy for unsafe vehicles for smuggling migrants across the border is being implemented immediately,” the governor stated.
Breitbart Texas reached out to DPS officials for initial results from the enhanced safety inspections. The department is not yet ready to release statistical data on the operation at this early date, officials responded.
Texas officials also told Breitbart on Saturday that the Texas Military Department and the Department of Public Safety are already beginning lighting projects at border crossing areas currently being utilized by human smugglers to move large migrant groups across shallow water crossings.

FACING IMPEACHMENT FOR SABOTAGE OF HOMELAND SECURITY
Ingraham: This is Biden's impeachable offense
Texas Holds Up Truck Traffic to Change Mexico’s Migration Politics
Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R) is choking truck traffic across the U.S.-Mexico border to get Mexico’s government to help block the migrant flood invited by President Joe Biden’s border chief, says Todd Bensman, a Texas-based expert at the Center for Immigration Studies.
“If Texas wants to back those trucks up severely, they can do it as much as they want,” Bensman told Breitbart News.
The point is to get governors and mayors in northern Mexico where the maquiladoras [oursourced U .S outsourcing factories] are, to start complaining to [Mexican President Andrés Manuel López] Obrador, and Obrador is then going to complain to the American ambassador. Then it’s going to go to the State Department, and then Biden is going to have to do something.
Bensman posted a video of the resulting cross-border traffic jams on Friday afternoon:
“The Biden Administration’s open-border policies have paved the way for dangerous cartels and deadly drugs to pour into the United States, and this crisis will only be made worse by ending Title 42 expulsions,” Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said at an April 6 press event. He added:
With the end of Title 42 expulsions looming next month, Texas will immediately begin taking unprecedented action to do what no state has done in American history to secure our border. The new strategies announced today and next week will further strengthen our already robust response to the Biden border disaster, and we will use any and all lawful powers to curtail the flow of drugs, human traffickers, illegal immigrants, weapons, and other contraband into Texas.
Abbot signed the safety directive on April 6, telling the Texas Department of Public Safety:
As you have explained, the cartels that smuggle illicit contraband and people across our southern border do not care about the condition of the vehicles they send into Texas any more than they care who overdoses from the deadly fentanyl on board. In response to this threat, which is projected to grow in the coming months, I hereby direct the Department of Public Safety (DPS) to conduct enhanced safety inspections of vehicles as they cross international ports of entry into Texas. These inspections should begin immediately to help ensure that Texans are not endangered by unsafe vehicles and their unsafe drivers.
Cross-border traffic is falling fast. Frieghtwaves.com reported Friday:
At the Pharr-Reynosa International Bridge, 2,516 commercial trucks crossed on Thursday, a 35% decline compared to the same day last week before Abbott’s measures were announced, according to CBP data.
Commercial truck traffic at Laredo’s Colombia-Solidarity Bridge was 2,233 on Thursday, an 11% decline compared to last Thursday.
Texas’ decision to carefully check the cross-border trucks for drugs will quickly get the angry attention of powerful U.S. business groups, said Bensman. Those groups have outsourced their supply of critical food and manufacturing components to Mexican farms and factories, known as maquiladoras.
Trucks can bypass the traffic jams on the Texas border, but only by taking a 1,250-mile detour through Mexico to reach the entry at Nogales, Arizona.
“That’s one of the things McAllen is concerned about,” Javier Villalobos, that border city’s Republican mayor, told the Democrat-leaning TexasTribune.org news site. “If it affects negatively, we’re going to be in the governor’s ear daily.”
When Biden’s deputies complain, “what Texas is going to do is first say ‘What are you talking about? We’re just keeping our roads safe. We don’t know anything about Mexico,'” Bensman said.
But Texas officials also will have a strong message for Biden’s government, he added: “We do know that you need to tell the Mexicans to shut this [migration] down. Close this off, ship the migrants out, block the crossing point… We want you to be like President Donald Trump.”
Biden’s people — especially his pro-migration border chief Alejandro Mayorkas — do not want to stop the growing migration through Mexico, Bensman said:
They’re not going to do Trump, they’re not going to channel Trump. They’re going to do what they always do — they’re going to file a lawsuit against Texas, and they’re going to allege that Texas is blocking international trade. And they’re going to name a whole bunch of national security reasons for this.
Texas is going to deny it. They’re gonna say “No, we’re not. We’re just doing what we’ve always done, just you know, a little bit differently. We have a right to check trucks. That’s all we’re doing.”
It’ll be up to a judge. It’ll probably be filed in the Ninth Circuit [in California]. And those left-wingers over there in the Ninth Circuit are going to issue an injunction [against Texas] and then we’ll go [to other courts] from there.
This is a high-stakes hardball version of the “Texas Hold’em,” card game, Bensman said.
In 2019, in his third year in office, Trump ignored his pro-business advisors and got serious about the migration problems that he was elected to solve. “Here’s the way this worked when Trump was in office,” said Bensman:
Trump said [Mexico in 2019], ‘I’m implementing the first 5 percent trade tariff … [and] If I don’t see you get getting rid of the migrants, within a month, it goes to 10 percent and then if you still haven’t done it, it goes to 15 percent and it goes all the way up to 28 percent.”
He was willing to do a 28 percent tariff on all Mexican goods — but he never had to even get to 5 percent because the [Mexican] mayors and governors of those [northern Mexican] states rely on those [outsourcing] businesses which also are powerful and have influence. So they all went to President Obrador and said, “Guys, we’ve got to comply [with Trump],” and he did.
“I don’t think this will be any different,” said Bensman. “If Texas wants to back those trucks up severely, they can do it as much as they want.”
Cuban-born Alejandro Mayorkas Invites Flood of Poor Cuban Migrants
President Joe Biden’s Cuban-born border chief Alejandro Mayorkas is welcoming a massive Cuban migration into the United States, just as Cuba’s communist government is letting pro-democracy protestors leave the island prison.
In March, “more than 32,000 Cubans were taken into U.S. custody along the Mexico border, double the number who arrived in February, ” says a report in the Washington Post. The government “is on pace to apprehend more than 155,000 Cubans during the current fiscal year, records show, nearly four times the 2021 total and a twelvefold increase over 2020.”
“Almost everyone from the younger generations is leaving … [it is] a stampede,” Maria Victoria Gonzalez told the Washington Post.
“Bray Perez, a 19-year-old Cuban university student, is fast losing friends to a growing wave of migration off the island,” Reuters reported on March 17. “Every time I go home, I find that 10 people have left … It’s hard to get up in the morning and know I’m not going to see them anymore,” he added.
The migrants are flying into Nicaragua and then traveling by road through Mexico to the U.S. border, which is being opened to Cuban migrants by border chief Alejandro Mayorkas.
“I don’t think he has a secret pro-Cuban [government] agenda,” said Mark Krikorian, director of the Center for Immigration Studies. “But that’s the actual effect of his policy.”
Mayorkas was born in Cuba, but his parents were invited by Americans to live in the United States in 1960 because Cuba’s communist government stole private property and murdered opponents.
Mayorkas still identifies as an immigrant and is using his job — he is secretary of the Department of Homeland Security — to maximize the inflow of poor migrants into Americans’ homeland.
That multinational flood is suppressing Ameicans’ wages, spiking their housing costs, and helping keep millions of Americans out of the workforce.
Under the Title 42 border rules, Mayorkas has full authority to expel the migrants — even if their dictatorial government refuses to take them back. But, “according to preliminary data obtained by The Post, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has only deported 20 Cubans in the past five months, and just 95 during the 2021 fiscal year,” the Washington Post reported.
Mayorkas also has a limited authority to allow Cubans into the United States under a so-called “parole” exemption to normal border rules. The authority was created by the Cold War-era Cuban Adjustment Act of 1966, and it also allows paroled Cubans to get fast-track green cards and then citizenship.
In May, the U.S. Embassy in Cuba will reportedly begin accepting requests from Cuban parents to visit their emigrant children in the United States. Many may hope to stay in the United States to benefit from much better healthcare programs.
Mayorkas’s welcome for migrants is “in effect, a dictatorship support program” for Cuba’s dictatorship, said Krikorian. “The communists in Cuba use immigration the way other oppressive regimes sometimes do — to release some of the built-up steam, built-up discontent … as a way to maintain their hold on society,” he told Breitbart News.
“Our immigration policy has had negative effects on various countries in different ways for years and years,” said Rosemary Jenks, director of government relations for NumbersUSA. For example, “by bringing all of the motivated and educated and resourced people from a very poor country to the United States, that harms that [poor sending] country,” she said.
U.S. government policies — including loose borders — have extracted at least 15 million young, hard-working people from Mexico and Central America. Once in the United States, the migrants are used as workers, consumers, and renters. The population transfer hinders economic trade with the United States and makes it more difficult for the migrants’ home countries to grow out of poverty and chaos.
“The compassionate thing to do is to reduce that flow,” Jenks said.
The emigration also generates cash for Cuba’s communist government once the migrants send U.S. wages back to their families, he said. “It’s become easier and easier over the years to send remittances from the United States to Cuba, and obviously, the Cuban regime benefits in a variety of ways from that money,” he said, adding that some of the welfare aid from the federal government to Cuban migrants will end up in Cuba.

Cuba’s autocrats are facing rising protests, according to an April 5 report in the Miami Herald. The article was headlined “More than 46,000 Cubans, biggest wave in years, have arrived in the U.S. in five months,” and it said:
With a soaring inflation rate, widespread shortages of basics and little prospects for economic recovery from the impact of the pandemic, Cuba topped the worldwide “misery index” in 2021, compiled annually by John Hopkins University economist Steve Hanke. After widespread protests last year seeking regime change and improved living conditions, the government made some minor reforms to the private sector with little effect on the larger economy, which follows a centralized socialist model.
Cuban authorities also launched an all-out assault on civic liberties, passing decrees and legislation further restricting freedom of expression and other civil rights while arresting more than 1,400 people, including several minors, for participating in the islandwide protests last July 11. Harsh sentences meted out to the protesters have also sent a chilling message, and many young Cubans are seeking to start a new life elsewhere.
“The Cuban economy is in a deep crisis,” said Camilo Condis, a young Cuban entrepreneur who co-hosts the podcast El Enjambre, Spanish for swarm. “Although it is true that the COVID-19 pandemic and the [U.S. ] sanctions have negatively affected the economy, the Cuban government has not taken any measures to promote development within the country and continues to bet on a failed centralized economy.”
But Mayorkas is not specifically trying to help the communist regime that pushed his parents into exile, said Krikorian:
He is, in fact, helping the Cuban regime, but he’s helping every other regime that wants its discontented population to emigrate. I can’t imagine Mayorkas’ actions are in any way targeted toward Cubans — he’s unwilling to enforce the [U.S.] immigration law against anybody.
Migration advocates welcomed the additional inflows — and jeered at advocates for reduced migration.
The Washington Post reported that the poor Cubans are borrowing funds to pay the smugglers’ networks in the expectation that they will travel to Nicaragua, then Mexico, then across the U.S. border, and into U.S. jobs.
Cubans “are smart and they’ve concluded that it’s worth it to borrow the money to get to the United States,” Krikorian said. “What that does is benefit smugglers, benefits the communist regime, benefits the migrants themselves — and the losers are American workers and American taxpayers.”
Since at least 1990, the D.C. establishment has used a wide variety of excuses and explanations — for example, “Nation of Immigrants” — to justify its policy of extracting tens of millions of migrants and visa workers from poor countries to serve as workers, consumers, and renters for various U.S. investors and CEOs.
The self-serving economic strategy of extraction migration has no stopping point. It is brutal to ordinary Americans because it cuts their career opportunities, shrinks their salaries and wages, raises their housing costs, and has shoved at least ten million American men out of the labor force.
Extraction migration also distorts the economy, and curbs Americans’ productivity, partly because it allows employers to use stoop labor instead of machines.
Migration also reduces voters’ political clout, undermines employees’ workplace rights, and widens the regional wealth gaps between the Democrats’ coastal states and the Republicans’ Heartland states.

An economy built on extraction migration also alienates young people and radicalizes Americans’ democratic, compromise-promoting civic culture because it allows wealthy elites to ignore despairing Americans at the bottom of society.
The economic strategy also kills many migrants, exploits poor people, splits foreign families, and extracts wealth from the poor home countries.
The extraction migration policy is backed by progressives who wish to transform the United States from a society governed by European-origin civic culture into a progressive-led empire of competing identity groups. “We’re trying to become the first multiracial, multi-ethnic superpower in the world,” Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA), told the New York Times on March 21. “It will be an extraordinary achievement … we will ultimately triumph,” he insisted.
Not surprisingly, the wealth-shifting extraction migration policy is very unpopular, according to a wide variety of polls.
The polls show deep and broad public opposition to labor migration and the inflow of temporary contract workers into jobs sought by young U.S. graduates.
The opposition is growing, anti-establishment, multiracial, cross-sex, non-racist, class-based, bipartisan, rational, persistent, and recognizes the solidarity that Americans owe to one another.
Exclusive Photos: Illegal Alien Charged with Killing 72-Year-Old Florida Man Left Vehicles Crushed
Photos, exclusively obtained by Breitbart News, show the extent of damage that was left behind from a fatal drunk-driving crash where an illegal alien was charged with killing a 72-year-old man in Walton County, Florida.
As Breitbart News exclusively reported, 42-year-old illegal alien Jose Virgilio Carcamo Elvir was charged with four felonies, including DUI manslaughter, after allegedly causing an eight-vehicle crash that killed 72-year-old Perry Adrian Cole and injuring three others.
Florida Highway Patrol, as well as eyewitnesses, said Elvir was drunk at the time of the crash and had multiple opened Budweiser cans in his vehicle. Elvir had been driving with an expired license from Alabama though it is unclear how he was able to secure a license being an illegal alien.
Sources close to Breitbart News are now revealing photos from the fatal crash:

The Walton County Sheriff’s Office confirmed that Elvir is an illegal alien living in the United States and that the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency has placed a detainer on him so that, if he is released, they will take over custody.
According to a report issued by Florida Highway Patrol, exclusively obtained by Breitbart News, Elvir was driving drunk in Walton County on April 3 when he crashed into the back of another vehicle and caused an eight-vehicle crash as a result.
Cole, a resident of Palmetto Bay, Florida, was involved in the crash and rushed to Sacred Heart Medical Center in Santa Rosa, Florida, where he was later pronounced dead as a result of his injuries. Three other Americans sustained serious bodily injuries in the crash and were taken to a nearby hospital.
“Just weeks after a Haitian criminal alien brutally murdered a Florida husband and wife in Daytona Beach, another innocent Floridian lost his life at the hands of an illegal alien in Walton County,” Gov. Ron DeSantis’s (R) office wrote in an exclusive statement to Breitbart News. “How much senseless violence and suffering will Americans endure, while the Biden Administration doubles down on their reckless open-borders agenda?”
