America Faces No Greater Threat Than Joe Biden and the Democrat Party. Their Assault to Our Borders Is As Great As Their Assault to Free Speech and Free Elections
Thursday, October 13, 2022
NAFTA JOE BIDEN - FORGET ABOUT MIDDLE AMERICA. WE HAVE! WE'RE THE GLOBALIST PARTY FOR OPEN BORDERS TO KEEP WAGES DEPRRESSED. IS IT WORKING???
WE COULD END THE INVASION BY PUTTING EMPOYERS OF ILLEGALS INTO PRISONS BUILT ALONG THE OPEN NARCOMEC BORDER!
Recently, I’ve been holding back National Data columns until after the inflation data is released mid-month and after the border crossing data (which used to be released early in the month, and has now become ludicrously late, in a blatant effort to minimize coverage). But September’s displacement is too big a story. It means that the Regime Media spin [Unemployment rate falls to 3.5% in September, payrolls rise by 263,000 as job market stays strong, by Jeff Cox, CNBC, October 7, 2022] is no longer a lie: it is a scandal.
The Payroll Survey, released last Friday October 7, showed employers adding 263,000 people to their payrolls in September, down significantly from August’s 315,000 gain, and off massively from the 526,000 hired in July.
We are in a peculiar place where good news in the job market is bad news for stock market investors and the U.S. central bank, because it is thought to imply continued inflation. The jobs slowdown was considered not bad enough. Further Fed rate hikes are now widely expected.
President Joe Biden is offering a huge giveaway of citizenship to at least 24,000 Venezuelans in the hope of deterring the rising flood of illegal migrants.
The plan offers the huge prize of legal status, work permits, and eventually, citizenship, to 24,000 Venezuelans who apply at U.S. embassies instead of migrating up to the U.S. border.
The colossal giveaway is paired with a threat of Title 42 expulsion back to Mexico for the Venezuelan migrants who walk across the mostly open U.S. border in search of jobs and a U.S. residency.
The policy was announced Wednesday afternoon.
The announcement comes three weeks before the mid-term election and 21 months after Biden triggered — and welcomed — a cross-border flood of roughly 200,000 Venezuelan illegal migrants into Americans’ workplaces, homes, and society.
“Those who follow the lawful process will have the opportunity to travel safely to the United States and become eligible to work here,” said a statement by Alejandro Mayorkas, Biden’s pro-migration, Cuban-born head of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The statement said:
Venezuelans approved via this process will be authorized on a case-by-case basis to travel to the United States by air directly to an interior port of entry, thus relieving pressure at the border. Once in the United States, they will be eligible to apply for work authorization.
Venezuelans who travel by land, however, supposedly will be blocked by the Title 42 border protections that Biden’s deputies sought to cancel earlier this year. The DHS statement continued:
Effective immediately, Venezuelans who enter the United States between ports of entry, without authorization, will be returned to Mexico.
The two-sided plan will only be implemented if Mexico helps to block Venezuelan migrants, the statement said:
The United States will not implement this process without Mexico keeping in place its independent but parallel effort to accept the return of Venezuelan nationals who bypass this process and attempt to enter irregularly.
The statement did not reveal the quid-pro-quo deal for Mexico’s agreement to take over the task of protecting U.S. workers from cheap, imported, illegal labor.

In September, 30,000 more Venezuelans were welcomed across the U.S. border by Biden’s deputies. That number is rising rapidly because the arrivals are using cell phones to boast of their new lives and wages to their penniless, at-home peers.
The new Venezuelan giveaway will be worth perhaps $24 billion to the 24,000 winning Venezuelans and their families. The estimate is based on the EB-5 program which effectively sells family packs of green cards to wealthy foreigners who lend $1 million to U.S. investors, such as current investors in New York real estate.
The plan is also a giveaway to U.S. businesses because it requires Venezuelans to get sponsored by U.S. residents, such as companies. This means that employers will be allowed to reject Americans — such as homeless dropouts or ex-convicts — and instead hire embassy-approved, skilled Venezuelans at very low wages. The Venezuelans will know they must remain docile and diligent to earn the dangled, government-funded citizenship bonanza for themselves and their families.
But there are many gaps in the Mayorkas plan.
The statement does not say whether officials will cap the giveaway at 24,000 Venezuelans. Prior drafts of the plan reportedly offered similar giveaways to many Cubans and Haitians.
Biden’s officials told media outlets that he can award legal “parole” status and work permits to the 24,000 Venezuelan migrants. If valid, the claim would allow the White House to shatter Congress’ annual limits on legal migration. But the claim is legally suspect.
Biden’s threats and promises may do nothing to stop the Venezuelan migrants now in transit from multiple countries in South America. That migrant population could well exceed 50,000 migrants. They likely are determined to push past Mexico’s corrupt police forces and then overwhelm Biden’s weak border defenses.
The chance of overwhelming the U.S. border force is significant. Breitbart News reported on October 12 that only 1,000 Venezuelans will be returned each day:
The [return] plan will unfold with 200 Venezuelan adult migrants returned daily at each of five crossing points. Migrants will be returned through the Rio Grande Valley, Del Rio, El Paso, Tucson, and San Diego Sectors of the Border Patrol. The source says the agency plans to add adult migrants from Cuba and Nicaragua to the plan as soon as possible.
The migrants’ hopes will be boosted by a Washington Postarticle on the new policy, which noted that “Venezuelans who aren’t ‘expelled’ to Mexico under Title 42 would continue to be allowed to enter the United States.”
Migrants also know that once they sneak across the U.S. border, they will not be sent home. Biden’s progressive officials believe their “equity” agenda overrides their legal obligation to deport migrants who seek the jobs and housing held by better-off Americans for jobs and housing.
Once the U.S. election is over, Biden and Mayorkas may drop their unwanted deportation plan. “The ability to send them [the migrants] back to those states is not rational,” Biden said in September.

So far, Biden’s pro-migration allies have raised little complaint about the pre-election plan.
The DHS statement does not explain why the election-eve plan to import more Venezualan economic migrants would be popular among voters.
Mayorkas’s Venezuelan migrants are a direct pocketbook threat to U.S.-born working-class whites, blacks, and Latinos, most of whom are already seeing their wages drop because of Biden’s mass migration and inflation.
Polls show there is a near-consensus among native-born Americans against the government-aided corporate extraction of cheap labor for use in Americans’ jobs and workplaces. That consensus has crashed Biden’s poll ratings on migration, so boosting the turnout of GOP base voters.
Yet Democratic and GOP donors favor the long-standing, semi-secret government economic policy of Extraction Migration. The policy extracts millions of extra workers, consumers, and renters from poor countries for use by CEOs, investors, and government agencies.
This wealth-shifting policy ensures that few Republican candidates — and fewer Democratic candidates — will object to Biden’s giveaway during the midterm election.
The two-sided deal also cements the administration’s long-term plan to import more illegal migrants into Americans’ society. For example, Mayorkas’ DHS statement said:
Today’s actions are part of the Biden-Harris Administration’s ongoing efforts to reduce irregular migration throughout the Western Hemisphere … [and] is premised on pairing increased enforcement in response to irregular immigration with the development of lawful and safe pathways for qualifying [foreign] individuals.
“We are building an immigration system that is designed to ensure due process, respect human dignity, and promote equity,” Mayorkas tweeted in August 2021, as he sketched out his plans for easy-asylum rules that would encourage a mass migration of poor job-seekers into Americans’ homeland.
The new plan is also intended to reduce the huge death toll of migrants who walk across the Darien Gap jungle trail between South America and Central America. The Mayorkas statement said:
The huge daily inflow — perhaps 90,000 each month — is expected to soon hit the U.S. border.
Many of the Venezuelans are poor economic migrants from safe countries, such as Chile and Colombia. Their economic goals legally disqualify them from getting political asylum in the United States. For example, Venezuelan migrant Lever Alejos spoke to Miriam Jordan, a reporter at the New York Times:
Solidly middle class in Venezuela, he was struggling to keep his machine-repair shop afloat amid the country’s economic collapse. In Venezuela these days, many people make just a few dollars a day.
…
Within days [of arriving in D.C.], Mr. Alejos found work in construction. By the second week, he was sending money home to support his 7-year-old son, Christopher, and saving to buy a cellphone. By late fall, he plans to move out of the shelter to his own place.
Biden’s migrants will push many marginal American workers out of jobs.
“The job losses forecasted by the Fed [in September] would by the end of 2023 raise the unemployment rate from its current level of 3.7% to 4.4%,” ABC News reported in September. “That outcome would add an estimated 1.2 million unemployed people, according to Omair Sharif, the founder of research firm Inflation Insights.”
“We’ve already seen construction work is slowing,” one economist told ABC News.
Another voting registration 'accident' with 30,000 non-citizens mailed notices, this time in Colorado
Around 30,000 non-U.S. citizens living in Colorado were mistakenly sent postcards late last month encouraging them to register to vote.
Democratic Secretary of State Jena Griswold's office said the postcards were mistakenly mailed on Sept. 27 after department employees compared a list of names of 102,000 people provided by the Electronic Registration Information Center to a database of Colorado residents issued driver's licenses.
That Department of Revenue driver's license list includes residents issued special licenses for people who are not U.S. citizens. But it didn't include formatting information that normally would have allowed the Department of State to eliminate those names before the mailers went out, Griswold's office said.
The Colorado postcards, in English and Spanish, specify that residents must be U.S. citizens and at least 18 years old to register.
Ahhh, a mistake. Unwitting. Accidental. The staff did it.
And somehow, it's only Democrats who do this.
A basic function of a registrar of voters is to maintain clean voting rolls. The staff knew that citizens and noncitizens were all mixed in in the driver's license database, yet they chose to ignore that issue and mailed away to let the illegals know they too could vote.
If you were an illegal and constantly heard news about the trend of getting noncitizens to vote in big cities, why wouldn't you think the state of Colorado wanted you to register to vote, particularly since the notice was printed in ultra-accommodating Spanish? The citizenship requirement was just fine print, and in any case, everyone's a citizen of somewhere, including, as Democrats say, "undocumented citizens." Non-citizens, of course, and particularly illegals, tend to vote Democrat.
It gets worse: Griswold is a former Obama official who had a big problem when President Trump tried to clean up America's voter rolls to halt vote fraud.
A Democratic candidate for the state's top elections job is calling Donald Trump's voter fraud panel "a sham commission" and blasting Secretary of State Wayne Williams for his "rash decision" to comply.
"We need to call the commission what it is and be very careful about how we are dealing with the commission," said Jena Griswold, a former voting rights attorney for the Obama campaign and member of Gov. John Hickenlooper's administration.
Griswold, a 32-year-old from Louisville, filed paperwork Wednesday to challenge the Republican incumbent in the 2018 election.
The claims by Griswold, that her office is taking steps to correct the matter, by printing up and resending 30,000 corrective notices at taxpayer expense to the non-citizens, as well as installing safeguards in the registration system should a non-citizen try to register, are nonsense. Her staff was incapable of following basic ground rules and basic law on the all-important matter of confirming citizenship. Why would these Democrats (and you know they are all Democrats) be trusted to be competent a second time, particularly with her around as their leader? It would be natural to expect that that won't be done, either. They'll just say it's done to make the media stories go away.
She's already been accused by GOP activists of destroying voting records from the 2020 election that were required to be preserved by federal law — another "accident," of course, so many "accidents" — so somehow she commits a lot of them. Yet somehow these accidents and mistakes always benefit Democrats, which is quite a coincidence. To destroy ballots required to be preserved ensures that no one who might come after her will ever be able to examine the ballots to verify whether it was the honest count.
You can bet there was something in those destroyed ballots she didn't want her political opponents to see.
It's pretty interesting that these "accidents," so many of them, somehow happen only under Democrats. Legal? She's pretty casual with the law when it doesn't serve Democrats.
We don't see her resigning over this nasty incompetence on election integrity in an act of sincere regret, let alone apologizing, or naming and firing her incompetent staff. Everything stays business as usual in her office as the "investigation," soon to be dragged out and buried, carries on, so it's obvious that her admission of an "error" has about as much weight as Lois Lerner's claims about blundering staff in that haven of rubes, Cincinnati, in its IRS office.
Bottom line: This "mistake" looks political, and, like the IRS scandal targeting Tea Party organizers for special enforcement for political reasons during the Obama administration, it may have been engineered from the top.
What would work in Colorado would be for the Legislature to get involved, declaring that any "mistake" made by a secretary of state is by default not a mistake, and 30,000 extra votes, or whatever the extent of the error, would be awarded to the other party as compensation.
That might get their attention. What's important now is that Colorado's voters throw her out of office and retrieve as many destroyed records as possible.
It's no secret that billionaire philanthropist and financier George Soros has had a hand in the rise of many major political players. From his heavy investment in the sheriffs in Arizona to his funding of grassroots activists in Ferguson, Soros's money and influence seem to be nestled in every nook and cranny across the country. But just in the past month, two judges in two different states have stood up against prominent figures that are heavily funded by Soros: Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams and Virginia's Loudoun County commonwealth attorney Buta Biberaj.
Stacey Abrams Election Fraud Lawsuit is Discarded
On September 30, U.S. district judge Steven Jones threw out the lawsuit filed in 2018 by Stacey Abrams and her political action committee, Fair Fight Georgia. The Epoch Times reported that the lawsuit alleged election irregularities, and Judge Jones ruled that "although Georgia's election system is not perfect, the challenged practices violate neither the constitution nor the [Voting Rights Amendment]." However, Abrams was still able to reinstate 22,000 rejected provisional and absentee ballots after the 2018 election.
This judge was on to something when he said Georgia's election system isn't perfect. Here are just a few of the inconsistencies from the 2020 election you can find documentation of on the VoterGA website:
There are six sworn affidavits of counterfeit mail-in ballots in Fulton Co. election results scaling into the tens of thousands.
All 350,000+ original in-person ballot images in Fulton are missing in violation of federal and state retention law.
All 393,000+ original ballot images in Cobb are missing in violation of federal and state retention law.
This is also not the only legal action that Abrams has initiated over elections. First, we have the now-infamous consent decree, which stemmed from a lawsuit filed by Abrams prior to the 2020 election, making it nearly impossible to verify signatures on ballots. The lawsuit claimed that minorities were disproportionately impacted with ballot rejections.
Then, back in December 2020, we had the ruling from a judge who happened to be Abrams's sister, which blocked two Georgia counties from purging its voter rolls of roughly 4,000 allegedly inactive voters ahead of the following week's runoff elections for U.S. Senate.
It is well documented that Abrams receives most of her campaign funds from George Soros. These contributions go back as far as 2013, but more recently, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that Soros just dropped $1 million into Abrams's gubernatorial campaign.
George Soros's financial connections also extend to the Republican Party in Georgia. Soros is the primary investor in Rivian, having invested about $2 billion at the end of 2021. The plans for this electric car plant in Georgia are moving forward thanks to the tax breaks being generously offered by Governor Brian Kemp to Rivian. Kemp is also pursuing the suspension of EPA regulations in order to build and operate this $5-billion facility.
Buta Biberaj is Removed from Scott Smith Case
Virginia attorneys such as Steve Descano, Buta Biberaj, and Parisa Dehghani Tafti have all received significant financial backing from Soros. According to donation reports from TransparencyUSA.org, in 2019, Soros's Justice and Public Safety PAC donated $601,368.95 to Descano, $621,144.87 to Tafti, and $861,038.62 to Biberaj. And a particular judge in Virginia has been calling out Loudoun County commonwealth's attorney Buta Biberaj over concerns of her being impartial, as well as soft on crime.
On September 2, Virginia circuit court judge James Plowman removed Biberaj from the case of Scott Smith, a parent who was arrested in June 2021 at a school board meeting when he showed up criticizing the school district over concerns that they were covering up the sexual assault of his daughter by a transgender boy in a girls' bathroom the previous month. Instead, Plowman appointed a special prosecutor, Stafford County commonwealth's attorney Eric Olsen, to oversee Smith's appeal to the disorderly conduct charge he incurred at the school board meeting in June 2021.
Regarding his reasons for taking Biberaj off of Smith's case, this is what Plowman wrote in the order: "The concerns about the public confidence in the integrity of the prosecution as well as the Defendant's concerns regarding the impartiality of the Commonwealth's Attorney are sufficiently grounded. As a result, the integrity of the Defendant's due process rights is in jeopardy and must be protected." When Smith was arrested last year at the school board meeting, he also incurred an obstruction of justice charge, which Plowman has already dismissed.
Scott Smith's arrest was a major story last year, and the video of Smith being restrained by authorities went viral. It came out that Smith's concerns were in response to Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS) superintendent Scott Ziegler's statement, made at the school board meeting, that "the predator transgender student or person simply does not exist," and that to his knowledge, "we don't have any record of assaults occurring in our restrooms," as reported by Fox News. But contradictions were made to this statement when it was discovered that on May 28, right after the rape of Smith's daughter, Ziegler sent out an email stating that there was a sexual assault incident at Stone Bridge High School that was under investigation. Ziegler claims he misinterpreted the question when he publicly claimed that the transgender predator did not exist at the school board meeting in June 2021, where Smith was subsequently arrested.
The unnamed transgender boy was found guilty of raping Smith's daughter, and Smith's attorney, Elizabeth Lancaster, told the Daily Wire that the boy's official charges were two counts of forcible sodomy, one count of anal sodomy, and one count of forcible fellatio. After Smith's daughter was raped on May 28, the accused assailant was then transferred to another school in the same Virginia district, where he was charged with another sexual assault that occurred on October 6, and he pleaded no contest to the charges for that case.
The teenage rapist has been sentenced for both sexual assaults and placed on probation and in a juvenile detention center until he turns 18. But the judge who initially placed him on the sex offender registry ended up reversing her decision, after defense attorneys pointed out that Biberaj and the prosecution failed to provide a written motion giving advance notice that she would seek the offender's placement on the sex offender registry, therefore violating his due process rights.
Besides this, there are other concerns that have cropped up recently about Biberaj:
In June of this year, Judge Plowman also removed Biberaj from the case of burglary suspect Kevin Enrique Valle, for "deliberately misleading the Court and the public" regarding the defendant's previous criminal history.
In February of this year, the Washington Free Beacon reported that a registered sex offender was hired as a paralegal for Biberaj, and was let go only after inquiries were made by the paralegal's probation officer.
The Beacon also reported in February that former Loudoun County prosecutor Jason Faw expressed concerns over Biberaj's handling of several domestic violence and child endangerment cases, accusing her of being lenient on the offenders.
Whether these rulings indicate a broader trend for the future, only time will tell. I reached out to both Biberaj and Abrams for comments on these developments and have not heard back.

Democrat Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold’s office has sent 30,000 voter registration notices to non-residents, fueling concerns about election integrity in the state, especially since it’s not the first time Griswold’s office has come under scrutiny for its postcard program.
Colorado Public Radio broke the story about the latest incident last Friday (October 7), noting that Griswold’s office has acknowledged the misstep:
“The postcards were mailed to residents last week who had non-citizen Colorado driver's licenses. The state sends postcards every two years to Coloradans it believes are eligible to vote but not yet registered. In big letters on the front it read, ‘Make sure your voice is heard this November.’ It then directs people to Register to VOTE today at www.GoVoteColorado.gov.’
“The Department has become aware that approximately 30,000 EBU [Eligible But Unregistered] postcard mailers were incorrectly sent to ineligible Coloradans,” said a spokesperson for the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office.”
The notices were printed in both Spanish and English.
“Jena Griswold continues to make easily avoidable errors just before ballots go out,” Colorado Republican Party Chair Kristi Burton Brown said in a statement released Monday.
“The news comes amid widespread distrust of voting integrity following the 2020 presidential election,” Fox News reports.
Before the 2020 elections, CBS4 caught Griswold’s office sending voter registration notices to both non-citizens and deceased individuals.
(Office of Colorado Secretary of State)
This year, the 30,000 postcards were sent to non-citizens because the system used to generate the mailing doesn’t enable the Department of State to identify non-citizens, U.S. News and World Reports explains:
“That Department of Revenue driver's license list includes residents issued special licenses for people who are not U.S. citizens. But it didn't include formatting information that normally would have allowed the Department of State to eliminate those names before the mailers went out, Griswold’s office said Monday.”
Colorado not only issues driver’s licenses to non-citizens, it also automatically registers voters when they obtain their licenses.
Sen. Kamala Harris promised Sunday to reduce detention space for migrants as she asked an illegal immigrant activist to help Joe Biden win the election.
As in 2016, Democrats advance a corrupt ruling-class candidate. Like the dead man Gary Ernst, Democrats want people to vote for Joe Biden so they can swap him out for Kamala Harris, already a beneficiary of voter fraud and with the exception of Xavier Becerra possibly the worst attorney general in California history.
8. "The Race" bitterly protested common-sense voter ID provisions as an "absolute disgrace." MICHELLE MALKIN
WHAT HAPPENED TO THE DEMOCRAT PARTY? I can no longer remain in today’s Democratic Party that is now under the complete control of an elitist cabal of warmongers driven by cowardly wokeness, who divide us by racializing every issue and stoke anti-white racism, actively work to undermine our God-given freedoms, are hostile to people of faith and spirituality, demonize the police and protect criminals at the expense of law-abiding Americans,believe in open borders,weaponize the national security state to go after political opponents, and above all, dragging us ever closer to nuclear war. TULSI GABBARD
THE OBAMA-BIDEN-HOLDER HISPANICAZATION of AMERICA… first ease millions of illegals over our borders and into our voting booths!
How the Democrat party surrendered America to Mexico:
“The watchdogs at Judicial Watch discovered documents that reveal how the Obama administration's close coordination with the Mexican government entices Mexicans to hop over the fence and on to the American dole.” Washington Times
What could possibly go wrong in giving the perfectly apolitical Department of Justice more power over elections?
A few too many one-offs, anomalies, and more than a couple of bad apples are enough to prompt even the most apt to provide the benefit-of-the-doubt to suspect the department has been politicized.
So it’s not very encouraging that the Biden administration’s Justice Department has made voting and elections a top priority, as detailed in my new book “The Myth of Voter Suppression.”
Thus far in 2022, an FBI SWAT team arrested a pro-life speaker at his home, raided the home of a former president, expanded its net for extremism to include concerned parents at school board meetings, all while an FBI whistleblower says the bureau ran interference to protect Hunter Biden.
Such anomalies and one-offs–that tend to always lean in one direction–perhaps shouldn’t raise concerns about the department’s expanding role in American democracy. On Oct. 4, Justice Department officials held a virtual briefing with 300 election officials and workers across the country, primarily about grant funding and physical security of voting sites. That would be entirely appropriate, though one is left to wonder given the Justice Department has too often shown its partisan stripes.
President Joe Biden signed a March 2021 executive order pushing an all-of-government approach to expanding voter turnout, largely based on recommendations from Demos, a liberal think tank. Don’t forget that Biden already set the predicate earlier this year for probing outcomes his party doesn’t like when he declared the election “could easily be illegitimate.”
In late 2020, a Demos policy brief called for the incoming Biden-Harris administration to use executive action to “strengthen Department of Justice’s enforcement of and guidance on voting rights statutes” and “pursue aggressive civil and criminal enforcement of federal voting rights protections.”
The Biden Justice Department obliged, filing lawsuits against the states of Arizona, Georgia, and Texas over their election integrity measures in those states.
VIVA LA RAZA SUPREMACY?
Biden further appointed top Justice Department officials with a long record of opposing any voter ID laws and state laws that promoted accurate voting lists.
One is Vanita Gupta, the associate attorney general.
Gupta returned to the Department of Justice after running the civil rights division during the Obama administration, which included overseeing the 2015 lawsuit to try to stop North Carolina’s voter ID law.
Gupta is a former CEO of the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights and was previously a lawyer with the NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund, as well as a lawyer with the American Civil Liberties Union.
Biden also named Kristen Clarke as the assistant attorney general to lead the Civil Rights Division that oversees the DOJ’s Voting Section.
Clarke was previously the president of the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law and worked for the New York attorney general’s office and the NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund.
In the face of a bona fide open-and-shut case of voter intimidation, Clarke, as a private lawyer, lobbied the Justice Department to drop its case against the far-left New Black Panther Party, which was seen on video intimidating voters at a Pennsylvania polling place during the 2008 election. The intimidation was perceived as benefitting Democrats, so it apparently didn’t matter. The Obama Justice Department complied with the push.
Clarke further led a lawsuit to stop the then-Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp from enforcing election integrity policies.
In July 2021, the Department of Justice issued guidance on federal statutes regarding voting methods—including mail-in voting—and warnings on conducting post-election audits, which Democrats staunchly opposed.
In June 2021, the Justice Department sued Georgia over its voting law regarding the use of voter ID for absentee ballots. The Biden DOJ’s complaint in federal court contends that provisions of the law were adopted to deny or abridge the right to vote based on race. The following November, the Justice Department filed a lawsuit against Texas over what it claimed were “restrictive voting procedures.” The Justice Department also sued in July 2022 to claim Arizona election reforms suppressed voting.
The lawsuits continue even void of evidence. As “The Myth of Voter Suppression” points out, the 2022 primary elections, the first test of the 2021 state election reforms, show the laws didn’t suppress anything.
Georgia had a 168% increase from the off-year primary of 2018. In Texas, turnout was 17.7% in 2022, about 3 million votes compared to 17.2% in the 2018 primary. Arizona had a record primary turnout in 2022 of 35.12%, or 1.4 million ballots cast, compared to the 33.3% turnout in 2018, with 1.2 million ballots casts.
In response to Biden’s executive order, the Justice Department announced in May 2022 that it would provide “educational materials related to voter registration and voting” and “facilitate voter registration, for all eligible individuals in the custody of the Federal Bureau of Prisons.” Convicted felons have generally been a reliable Democrat voting bloc.
With just a little over a month before Election Day, it will be interesting to see how political the Justice Department will be before and after the actual voting.
FIFTEEN THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT LA RAZA “THE RACE”
by Michelle Malkin
Only in America could critics of a group called "The Race" be labeled racists. Such is the triumph of left-wing identity chauvinists, whose aggressive activists and supine abettors have succeeded in redefining all opposition as "hate."
Both Barack Obama and John McCain will speak this week in San Diego at the annual conference of the National Council of La Raza, the Latino organization whose name is Spanish for, yes, "The Race." Can you imagine Obama and McCain paying homage to a group of white people who called themselves that? No matter. The presidential candidates and the media have legitimized "The Race" as a mainstream ethnic lobbying group and marginalized its critics as intolerant bigots. The unvarnished truth is that the group is a radical ethnic nationalist outfit that abuses your tax dollars and milks PC politics to undermine our sovereignty.
Here are 15 things you should know about "The Race":
15. "The Race" supports driver's licenses for illegal aliens.
14."The Race" demands in-state tuition discounts for illegal alien students that are not available to law-abiding U.S. citizens and law-abiding legal immigrants.
13. "The Race" vehemently opposes cooperative immigration enforcement efforts between local, state and federal authorities.
12. "The Race" opposes a secure fence on the southern border.
11. "The Race" joined the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee in a failed lawsuit attempt to prevent the feds from entering immigration information into a key national crime database -- and to prevent local police officers from accessing the data.
10. "The Race" opposed the state of Oklahoma's tough immigration-enforcement-first laws, which cut off welfare to illegal aliens, put teeth in employer sanctions and strengthened local-federal cooperation and information sharing.
9. "The Race" joined other open-borders, anti-assimilationists and sued to prevent Proposition 227, California's bilingual education reform ballot initiative, from becoming law.
8. "The Race" bitterly protested common-sense voter ID provisions as an "absolute disgrace."
7. "The Race" has consistently opposed post-9/11 national security measures at every turn.
6. Former "Race" president Raul Yzaguirre, Hillary Clinton's Hispanic outreach adviser, said this: "U.S. English is to Hispanics as the Ku Klux Klan is to blacks." He was referring to U.S. English, the nation's oldest, largest citizens' action group dedicated to preserving the unifying role of the English language in the United States. "The Race" also pioneered Orwellian open-borders Newspeak and advised the Mexican government on how to lobby for illegal alien amnesty while avoiding the terms "illegal" and "amnesty."
5. "The Race" gives mainstream cover to a poisonous subset of ideological satellites, led by Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan, or Chicano Student Movement of Aztlan (MEChA). The late GOP Rep. Charlie Norwood rightly characterized the organization as "a radical racist group … one of the most anti-American groups in the country, which has permeated U.S. campuses since the 1960s, and continues its push to carve a racist nation out of the American West."
4. "The Race" is currently leading a smear campaign against staunch immigration enforcement leaders and has called for TV and cable news networks to keep immigration enforcement proponents off the airwaves -- in addition to pushing for Fairness Doctrine policies to shut up their foes. The New York Times reported that current "Race" president Janet Murguia believes "hate speech" should "not be tolerated, even if such censorship were a violation of First Amendment rights."
3. "The Race" sponsors militant ethnic nationalist charter schools subsidized by your public tax dollars (at least $8 million in federal education grants). The schools include Aztlan Academy in Tucson, Ariz., the Mexicayotl Academy in Nogales, Ariz., Academia Cesar Chavez Charter School in St. Paul, Minn., and La Academia Semillas del Pueblo in Los Angeles, whose principal inveighed: "We don't want to drink from a White water fountain, we have our own wells and our natural reservoirs and our way of collecting rain in our aqueducts. We don't need a White water fountain … ultimately the White way, the American way, the neo liberal, capitalist way of life will eventually lead to our own destruction."
2. "The Race" has perfected the art of the PC shakedown at taxpayer expense, pushing relentlessly to lower home loan standards for Hispanic borrowers, reaping millions in federal "mortgage counseling" grants, seeking special multimillion-dollar earmarks and partnering with banks that do business with illegal aliens.
1. "The Race" thrives on ethnic supremacy -- and the elite sheeple's unwillingness to call it what it is. As historian Victor Davis Hanson observes: "[The] organization's very nomenclature 'The National Council of La Raza' is hate speech to the core. Despite all the contortions of the group, Raza (as its Latin cognate suggests) reflects the meaning of 'race' in Spanish, not 'the people' -- and that's precisely why we don't hear of something like 'The National Council of the People,' which would not confer the buzz notion of ethnic, racial and tribal chauvinism."
The fringe is the center. The center is the fringe.
BIDEN PARTNERS WITH MEXICO TO ORCHESTRATE ANOTHER MASSIVE MEX INVASION OF DEM VOTING ILLEGALS.
"Fox’s Tucker Carlson noted Thursday that Obrador has
previously proposed granting AMNESTY TO MEXICAN DRUG
CARTELS. “America is now Mexico’s social safety net, and that’s
a very good deal for the Mexican ruling class,” Carlson added."
"Many Americans forget is that our country is located against a socialist failed state that is promising to descend even further into chaos – not California, the other one. And the Mexicans, having reached the bottom of the hole they have dug for themselves, just chose to keep digging by electing a new leftist presidente who wants to surrender to the cartels and who thinks that Mexicans have some sort of “human right” to sneak into the U.S. and demographically reconquer it."
