Dem Rep. Escobar: Border Experiencing ‘Western Hemispheric Refugee Crisis of Historic Proportions’
Representative Veronica Escobar (D-TX) said Thursday on CNN’s “At This Hour” that the surge of migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border is a “Western Hemispheric refugee crisis of historic proportions.”
Escobar called for the Biden administration to mobilize the State Department.
Guest anchor Amara Walker said, “In terms of your party, right, I’m sorry to cut you off. We’re running out of time. How do you feel about how the Biden administration has been handling the surge? Is there a comprehensive policy, a strategy? Where do the Democrats stand? Are you united on this?”
Escobar said, “Secretary Mayorkas has been doing absolutely everything he possibly can. He’s been really a key leader on this, on helping communities like El Paso. But, you know, again, it is going to take legislation, and it’s going to take a multifaceted approach. The Biden administration, I think, needs to really also mobilize the State Department in the same way that the Department of Homeland Security has been mobilized. This is a western hemispheric refugee crisis of historic proportions. There needs to be far more diplomacy and the State Department involvement in addressing what is not going to get better any time soon.”

Biden’s DHS Releases into U.S. Nearly 1.4K Illegal Alien Convicted Criminals in Less than Three Months
President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has released nearly 1,400 illegal alien convicted criminals from detention into American communities in less than three months, data shows.
The latest Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) data reveals that from October through December 18, Biden’s DHS has released 1,363 illegal alien convicts into American communities along with more than 1,800 illegal aliens with pending criminal charges against them.
Of the illegal alien convicts released from DHS custody, 463 bonded out, 421 were given an order of recognizance, 371 were given an order of supervision, and 108 were paroled.
In total, more than 35,000 illegal aliens were released from DHS custody into the United States interior from October through December 18. Most significantly, the agency seems to be increasing releases, as those freed from custody in the first 18 days of this month eclipse the total number of releases last month.
RJ Hauman, with the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), suggested that the Biden administration may be violating the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) with the mass release of illegal alien convicts from DHS custody.
Specifically, Hauman cites this INA statute:
The Attorney General may release an alien described in paragraph (1) only if the Attorney General decides pursuant to section 3521 of title 18 that release of the alien from custody is necessary to provide protection to a witness, a potential witness, a person cooperating with an investigation into major criminal activity, or an immediate family member or close associate of a witness, potential witness, or person cooperating with such an investigation, and the alien satisfies the Attorney General that the alien will not pose a danger to the safety of other persons or of property and is likely to appear for any scheduled proceeding. A decision relating to such release shall take place in accordance with a procedure that considers the severity of the offense committed by the alien. [Emphasis added]
“The law explicitly requires that those who cross the border illegally be detained, but the Biden administration clearly doesn’t want to detain or deport anyone,” Hauman told Breitbart News.
“So it isn’t surprising that they are attempting to undermine the rule of law by not only cutting overall detention capacity but illegally releasing criminal aliens as well,” he continued. “Public safety is under attack to advance their open borders agenda.”
As Breitbart News has chronicled, the Biden administration has sought to gut interior immigration enforcement through so-called “sanctuary country” measures that protect most of the nation’s 11 to 22 million illegal aliens from arrest and deportation by ICE agents.
Last year, for instance, Biden’s DHS drastically cut deportations of illegal aliens living in American communities — some by more than 90 percent compared to 2019. The agency has also reduced arrests of illegal aliens living throughout the United States by more than 70 percent.

China’s Migrants Join Global Rush to Biden’s Open Borders
China’s economic migrants are joining the global rush into America as President Joe Biden’s deputies widen legal loopholes in the southern border, according to a U.S.-funded news agency.
The route for China’s migrants goes through Ecuador in South America. Then the migrants take buses, taxis, and boats to reach the deadly Darien Gap jungle trail in Panama, where the United Nations helps them travel further north towards Costa Rica, Mexico, and the United States, according to a December 26 article by Radio Free Asia.

The article said:
1,028 Chinese citizens entered Colombia from Ecuador through unofficial channels between January and November 2022, 458 of whom did so in November alone.
Nearly all of them pass through NecoclÃ, the jumping-off point for the notorious Darién Gap people-smuggling route through the jungle from Panama to Colombia, in a bid to cross eventually into the United States.
According to two shipping companies that ship travelers to the trailhead in Panama, 122 Chinese people have bought tickets during the past week.

A pipeline of 122 people per week adds up to 6,300 a year — if the flow somehow stops growing.
The arrival of more Chinese reflects the growing global awareness that Biden is dangling the hope of U.S. jobs, homes, and lives to ambitious young people everywhere — whatever the huge economic and civic damage to ordinary Americans.
For example, the number of Indian migrants detained at the border rose from 20,000 in 2020 up to 64,000 in 2022. The Filipino inflow rose from 46,000 in 2019 up to 55,000 in 2022. In 2022, Biden’s border officials admitted 114,000 people from those two countries, regardless of the Title 42 barrier or section 212(f) in federal laws that allow the president to exclude any alien.'
But Biden’s invite is also drawing more migrants from every corner of the world as poor people scramble to grab their slice of America before U.S. citizens can restore their borders with a new President. “The 2.4 million Border Patrol encounters with migrants in the 2022 fiscal year that ended on Sept. 30 represented a record high,” the New York Times reported on December 29:
There was a nearly 2000 percent increase in the number of Colombians encountered during that period compared with the previous fiscal year; Indians increased by 607 percent; Cubans by 471 percent; Russians by 430 percent and Nicaraguans by 227 percent.
Overall, Biden accepted almost as many illegal, legal, and temporary migrants as there were U.S. births in 2022 — and he has deported fewer than 100,000 migrants.
The growing U.S. populations of legal migrants and of temporary visa workers — such as Indian H-1B visa workers — are also pulling in more illegal migrants for lower-skill jobs in ethnic districts.
The Chinese migrants are guided along their routes, and around legal obstacles, by maps posted online by prior migrants and American pro-migration groups.
There is no road between South America and Central America, so the global migrants must take a boat from Columbia, and then use boats and jungle trails to reach buses in rural Panama. The route is a shorter and safer version of the earlier Darien Gap trail — where thousands of migrants likely died in 2021 and 2022. The shorter trail was created by Biden’s zealously pro-migration border chief, Alejandro Mayorkas.
The myriad migrants from all over the world are aided by rest stations that are funded by industry by U.S. taxpayers. For example, migrants are helped by a United Nations aid station in the Columbian port of NecoclÃ:
Near the jetty where the travelers will embark, the United Nations’ International Organization for Migration has set up a tent, while the local government has its own tent facing it. A third canopy provides shade to people waiting to board the next vessel to Panama, who hail from Afghanistan, India, Latin America, the Caribbean, and, more recently, from China.
U.S. officials are trying to gain control of the travel routes.
Mayorkas’ goal is not to stop migration, but to sideline the cartels so international progressive groups can take over the lucrative business of recruiting and moving migrants into Americans’ jobs and housing.
The progressive-run network is helping the alliance of businesses and progressives because it reduces the risk of political embarrassments which might cause a public backlash against the migration policies that transfer wealth and power from ordinary Americans to the coastal investor class. Those embarrassments would include unwanted media descriptions of migrant deaths, or the televised arrival of too many migrants at the U.S. border.
For example, Mayorkas visited Ecuador in December, likely to demand more control of the country’s easy visa rules.
Mayorkas also visited Colombia to talk about migration with the country’s new left-wing president. Mayorkas tweeted:
I appreciated meeting with President @petrogustavo this morning at his invitation to build on the momentum created at the Summit of the Americas. Transnational crime and irregular migration are challenges not exclusive to the U.S. or Colombia. They demand a hemispheric solution.
“There’s a policy called ‘Controlled Flow‘ and it’s been in place for years,” said Todd Bensman, a security and migration expert at the Center for Immigration Studies. “The Panamanians, the Colombians, Costa Ricans, have all abided by this thing for years … They just altered it a little bit [in early 2022] so that the flow goes around the Darien Gap and not through it anymore,” he told Breitbart News in November.
Mayorkas has met with many foreign governments to smooth the migration process into Americans’ jobs and homes. For example, in Colombia, Mayorkas tweeted his support for migration and easy asylum rules:
In bilateral meetings alongside Chargé Palmieri @USEmbassyBogota, we expressed to the Gov of Colombia our commitment to continuing to respect the dignity of migrants, while reiterating the importance that the laws of our respective countries are followed.
Colombian officials turn a blind eye to the Chinese illegal migrants, the RFA.org article reported:
“The current attitude of the Colombian government is to respect the freedom of movement of immigrants,” the official says on condition of anonymity. “From a practical point of view, it is really too expensive to send them back.”
Similarly, Mayorkas worked with Panama to help economic migrants get through the deadly Darien Gap.
Breitbart News reported in August 2021, “‘By consensus, the humanitarian approach will guide the actions that we agree on for the orderly and controlled passage of migrants on their way north,’ Panama’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Erika Moynes, declared during the teleconference.”
Many migrants die — especially in the Darien Gap trail — because of the U.S. policy of extracting young people from poor countries for use in the U.S. service economy.
The huge scale of the migration, and the many deaths, get minimal publicity from American media outlets, which portrays migration as an international civil rights issue, not as a U.S. economic policy.
Economic migrants recognize this progressive perspective and mix in claims of persecution with their demands to be allowed to get U.S. jobs. For example, some of the migrants bring young children to get through the Flores loophole.
RFA.org interviewed a Chinese migrant who was released into the United States with his wife and family — and who is now unlikely to be sent home:
The family flew to Bangkok, then Istanbul, where they spent six months, then took a flight to Quito, where they boarded a long-distance bus to Tulcan on the border with Colombia. They rented a car from there, and drove it to NecoclÃ, before boarding a boat to the Panamanian jungle route via the Gap of Darién.

the family flew to Bangkok, then Istanbul, where they spent six months, then took a flight to Quito, where they boarded a long-distance bus to Tulcan on the border with Colombia. They rented a car from there, and drove it to NecoclÃ, before boarding a boat to the Panamanian jungle route via the Gap of Darién.
When they reached the United States, “Cheng’s family was released after just one night in detention because they had a young child with them.”
Few Chinese migrants are sent home, partly because China’s government refuses to accept even their own migrants who have committed crimes against Americans. In response, U.S. officials do nothing for fear of disrupting U.S. business deals in China.
Since 1980, China has grown its economy by investing in Chinese manufacturing and workers.
In contrast, since 1990, the U.S. government has operated an economic policy of “Extraction Migration” which pulls human resources from poor countries and uses the imported consumers, renters, and workers to grow the service economy and investors‘ stock values.
The migrant inflow has successfully forced down Americans’ wages, boosted rents and housing prices, and shriveled coastal investors’ interest in heartland towns. The inflow has also pushed many native-born Americans out of careers in a wide variety of business sectors.
It has also reduced native-born Americans’ clout in local and national elections, so helping the coastal elites to regain power after the shocking electoral success of Donald Trump’s 2016 lower-migration, higher-wage promises.

EXCLUSIVE VIDEO: Texas Trooper Busts Alleged Human Smuggler with 18 Migrants in Dump-Trailer near Border
A Texas Department of Public Safety trooper arrested an alleged human smuggler after finding 18 migrants locked inside a dump trailer in Kenedy County. The migrants in the tarp-covered trailer included a young child. Temperatures fell that morning to the low 20s.
A Texas DPS trooper assigned to Governor Greg Abbott’s Operation Lone Star and patrolling on U.S. Highway 77 in Kenedy County observed a tractor-trailer with an expired trailer tag. The trooper made a traffic stop and interviewed the driver who said he was traveling empty to pick up a load.
The video, provided exclusively to Breitbart Texas, shows the trooper getting permission to search the trailer. During the search, the trooper found the dump trailer to be loaded with migrants. He called for assistance from Rio Grande Valley Sector Border Patrol agents.
The video shows the migrants crawling out of the belly of the dump trailer. By the time the trooper unloaded the trailer, he recovered 18 migrants who appeared to be in the United States illegally. The migrants included one small child.
The trooper arrested the driver on human smuggling charges. Border Patrol agents took custody of the 18 migrants, including the endangered minor.

Three Illegal Aliens, Freed by Sanctuary State Colorado, Accused of Murdering 30-Year-Old Man in Texas
Three illegal aliens, all with prior criminal arrests in the sanctuary state of Colorado, are accused of murdering a 30-year-old man in El Paso, Texas.
Last month, illegal aliens Ector Sarabia-Cabrera, Isidrio Sarabia-Gonzalez, and Braulio Barron-Rubio — along with a fourth suspect, Yessica Cortes-Barcenas — were arrested and charged with murdering 30-year-old Manuel Hernandez-Uribe, a fugitive wanted for kidnapping, second-degree strangulation, nonconsensual sexual contact, child abuse, third-degree assault, and harassment.
Police allege that Sarabia-Cabrera, Sarabia-Gonzalez, and Barron-Rubio kidnapped Hernandez-Uribe before taking him to Cheyenne Mountain and shooting him. The three illegal aliens are accused of then dumping his body along the side of a road.
KRDO 13 Investigates reveals in an exclusive report that the illegal aliens each had their own criminal histories in the sanctuary state of Colorado before allegedly murdering Hernandez-Uribe in El Paso.
Sarabia-Cabrera, for instance, was previously convicted in Arapahoe County in March 2022 for marijuana cultivation after being convicted in Denver County in January 2022 for possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute and grand theft auto.
At the time of Hernandez-Uribe’s murder, Sarabia-Cabrera had a warrant out for his arrest in Denver County for violating probation that he was serving for a prior drug conviction.
Meanwhile, Sarabia-Gonzalez, who was previously deported from the United States in January 2016, was arrested in January 2020 in Arapahoe County on misdemeanor charges.
Barron-Rubio, who was repeatedly deported from the U.S. more than 15 years ago, had prior arrests in Jefferson County and Denver County.
“Despite having prior criminal charges and convictions in Colorado, none have been deported,” KRDO 13 Investigates reports, suggesting that Colorado officials adhered to the state’s sanctuary policy and did not cooperate with the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency to have the three illegal aliens detained, arrested, and deported.

2022 Man of the Year: Illegal Immigrant Alfonzo
It takes a lot to be a real American.
You can look the part, like Hulk Hogan, Kevin Costner in Yellowstone, or anyone who owns a Ford F-150. You can talk the talk, like Kid Rock, George W. Bush, or Larry the Cable Guy. But only real, true, honest-to-God Americans can walk the walk. Most men can’t walk the walk, even after a lifetime of breathing in that sweet, precious, musty American air. But for the rare few, the walk comes naturally.
Enter Alfonzo.
Alfonzo worked his tail off to get to the United States. He left his native Venezuela in the heat of summer, and through a series of long bus rides and onerous walks, he made it to Texas. And, with President Joe Biden’s open border, who can blame Alfonzo for deserting his communist hellhole of a home in favor of the Lone Star State? We certainly can’t.
But Alfonzo never really set foot in Texas. The second he arrived, the Texans threw him on a bus, and three days later he was in New York City’s Port Authority. The liberals may call it a "sanctuary city" for illegal immigrants, but it didn’t feel like a sanctuary for Alfonzo. He had just $130 in his pocket, nowhere to go, and nothing to do. Surrounded by filth and homelessness, you have to imagine he was wondering whether it was all worth it.
But he was in the land of opportunity now, and opportunity immediately presented itself. Alfonzo was approached by a woman who wanted to spend the day with him.
That’s right. Merely five minutes after Alfonzo touched ground, a woman was asking him out on a date—and better yet, she was paying! Now sure, she was a reporter and was only taking Alfonzo out to interview him. And yes, through a translation app Alfonzo told the reporter that he was married and had kids. But she was also really nice to him. So when the reporter messaged Alfonzo to see whether he found a place to stay that night, our hero saw an opening.
He responded in the most American way possible. With a picture of his penis.
Alfonzo’s X-Rated Hail Mary didn’t work. The reporter—former Washington Free Beacon intern Emma-Jo Morris—is married, and Alfonzo isn’t exactly her type. But as any good reporter would, the Free Beacon-trained scribe wrote about her day with Alfonzo, ensuring that his ballsy move would live forever. The Free Beacon exclusively obtained the image, but we have opted to redact it for the safety of our readers.
Being an American is about taking risks and shooting your shot, even when the odds are stacked against you. Was it the safe play for George Washington to sneak across the Delaware on Christmas 1776? Nope. Did it take balls for Supreme Allied commander Dwight Eisenhower to storm Normandy in 1944? You’re damn right it did. Those men walked the walk and paved the road for Alfonzo to roll the dice in 2022.
And Morris says Alfonzo’s still trying, sending her pictures on the reg, including the below of Alfonzo wearing a shirt that says, "Love Needs No Translation." Alas, they just don’t see eye to eye. (Well, they kinda did.)
Who knows whether illegal immigrant Alfonzo will ever become an American citizen. Honestly, we hope he never does. But for taking an American risk on his first day in the United States and going out on his limb, we’re proud to call Alfonzo a Washington Free Beacon Man of the Year.

Sen. Kennedy: Nobody is this incompetent, this is intentional
Bottom line, all of these new services for illegal border crossers are bonanzas, not just for the NGOs who benefit, they are benefits for human smuggling rackets, who can now advertise these wares as part of their illegal alien benefit packages and use the news of them to draw more business. Biden is helping that bunch ultimately with these free-hotel contracts even Americans in distress don't get. Cartels will use this incentive to drum up more business.
Biden invited them in, Biden tell the American people that this is all seasonal and spontaneous or else because global warming, and he fails to use the tools he's been given to only allow in those who have likely valid asylum cases, taking all comers instead, the vast majority of whom are looking for a better life, and a certain number of whom are criminals who can't get in the legal way........
Now we have a humanitarian crisis with the record cold, and Joe Biden's press minions are trying to blame those trying to call it to Joe Biden's attention. Biden can't even be bothered to visit the border, claiming as he has that he has "more important things." Tell that to the people freezing in the cold who were enticed by Joe to come on in. MONICA SHOWALTER
What's more, Mexico generally benefits from shipping
its surplus uneducated population to the states to take
the pressure valve off the potential for unrest. Corrupt
Mexican officials often reap "fees" from letting illegal
migrants from other countries as well as their own pass
through their territory. MONICA SHOWALTER
The same continent-wide superstate was pushed in 2001 by President G.W. Bush and Mexico’s then-president, Vicente Fox. Their unpopular “Any Willing Worker” plan would have allowed U.S. employers to easily import low-wage employees from central and south America. It was derailed following the 9/11 attack.
The policy would spike Wall Street and Fortune 500 profits by giving them floods of cheap foreign workers plus many new foreign consumers. NEIL MUNRO
With Biden in office, America’s southern border has vanished entirely.

So, while we in America are getting a fair number of sex traffickers; mountains of fentanyl; low skilled, illegal workers who drive down wages; and more welfare mouths to feed, the Latin Americans who come here mostly want to work and mostly hew to traditional western, Christian values.

Biden’s DHS released more than 150,000 illegal aliens into the U.S. in the summer 2021
The U.S. has been in the midst of a serious border crisis since Joe Biden took over.
There have been an astounding 5.5 million illegal alien encounters at the border since Biden took office. The actual number of those who entered secretly has to be considerably higher.
Breitbart reported that as part of a lawsuit against Biden’s Catch and Release policy, Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody showed internal DHS footage that exposed the extent of dereliction of duty on the part of the Biden administration.
In the video, an ICE official on a conference call can be heard telling other agents that more than 150,000 illegal aliens were released into the U.S. without a Notice to Appear (NTA) date in immigration court.
Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) began this practice in March 2021.
Moody issued a statement that the Biden administration is purposefully releasing illegal aliens into U.S. towns and cities with no intention of deporting them even if they are found to not have valid asylum claims.
The latest estimates show that from February 2021 to October 2022, Biden’s DHS released at least 1.4 million illegal aliens into the U.S. interior.
This is a crisis like no other and its impact will remain forever.
Let's look at the various levels of impact of this influx.
These illegal aliens will be resettled into working-class neighborhoods in these states.
We know that planners of any locality set up facilities and resources directly proportional to the number of homes and citizens — living in that area.
When illegal aliens inundate these areas, the system is overwhelmed. The illegal aliens occupy infrastructure meant for citizens and which are paid for by citizens' tax money.
When the sanitation and waste management facilities are overwhelmed, the surroundings become unhygienic and hazardous to the health of citizens.
If the aliens have contagious infections such as COVID-19, Monkeypox, tuberculosis, leishmaniasis, leprosy, dengue fever, hepatitis, Chagas disease, smallpox, polio, et al., which many do, once again, citizens are at risk of being infected by a disease they would never have encountered. It could overwhelm health facilities meant for citizens. Once again the citizen's needs are ignored.
These aliens are unvetted, which could mean some among them have violent proclivities or pasts. Once again the locality could be subjected to break-ins, burglaries, muggings, murders, rapes, robberies, and other violent crimes. At times, citizens pay with their lives. Law enforcement employs officials directly proportional to citizen presence, so when the zone is inundated by foreigners, they are overwhelmed and rendered helpless.
These are violations of the contract between the citizen and the government, i.e., what the citizen pays taxes for in exchange for infrastructure facilities and services in government.
Open border proponents often argue that crime is committed by citizens and infectious diseases are also spread by citizens. They even cite ‘statistics’ that claim illegal aliens are more law-abiding than citizens, while they accuse others of bigotry.
The answer to that is simple.
Just because the country has problems doesn't mean it is obliged to import additional problems from other nations to make matters worse.
Apart from the infrastructure, and government services, there is an impact on citizens’ wages
Impoverished and uneducated aliens often agree to work for less than minimum wage without benefits. This could cause citizens to suffer job redundancy or depression in wages and loss of benefits. Quite often the illegal aliens dispatch their untaxed earnings back to a foreign nation, resulting in a loss to the nation’s, as well as to the state and local, treasury.
The impact of uncontrolled migration is also cultural.
Some of these illegal aliens probably originate from cultures that still continue with anachronistic practices. Illegal aliens of this variety often expect citizens to respect their cultures and even alter their own lifestyles to not cause offense. At times, an 'offense' from citizens or even their compatriots can lead to 'honor' killings and other barbaric practices. There are other barbaric practices, too, such as child marriage, incestuous marriages, rape, beheadings, and many other unspeakable acts.
In the end, culture and values represent the identity of a country, when culture erodes, so does the nation.
The main reason behind allowing this influx to occur is to change the demographics permanently. This has been a long-term project of the Democrats.
They permit the influx, allow the illegal aliens to remain forever, and grant them voting rights. It doesn’t have to be citizenship, mere voting rights are enough. The expectation is that this voter base will vote Democrat and overwhelm the impact of existing Republican voters, or else serve as repositories for ballot-harvesters, who only need to get hold of their ballots.
In time elections are rendered meaningless.
The Democrats have successfully implemented this in New York and California, where even the incompetent and self-centered AOC, despite relentless proof of her inanities, will win with a landslide against the most honest, selfless, and smart Republican. The contests in these states are among left, far left, and socialists, not left vs. right.
It is important to understand that despite their claim of compassion, the Democrat leaders who support open borders never suffer the consequences of the policies they advocate. They live in affluent localities and their properties are surrounded by imposing walls. They are personally protected by armed bodyguards.
A perfect example of this is when illegal aliens were transported to Martha’s Vineyard this September. This is where the Obamas and myriad ‘compassionate’ liberals reside.
So were these illegal aliens welcomed with open arms by these empathetic Democrats and given accommodation in their spacious mansions?
Obviously no.
Currently, only five out of those 49 remain on Martha’s Vineyard. The others have started new lives in different towns throughout Massachusetts. Some reside in government housing and shelters and are living at the expense of taxpayers. In time, they will be resettled in working-class neighborhoods, perhaps in red states.
This plan many not always go well for the Democrats.
Many of these illegal aliens are from South and Central American nations which are run by leftist dictators. They often have personally experienced atrocities, religious persecution, and poverty under these dictatorships in democracy's clothing. Their desire for freedom and liberty caused them to immigrate to the U.S.
When they see Democrats attack religion, advocate socialism, and display totalitarian proclivities, they could be turned off (and we have already seen this in the Miami area) and will vote for Republicans.
So how did we get here.
Some may be surprised the left didn’t always advocate for open borders.
Just seven years ago, when socialist Bernie Sanders was running for the nomination of the Democrat party, he was asked about open borders.
He replied “The idea is a right-wing scheme meant to flood the U.S. with cheap labor and depress wages for native-born workers. I think from moral responsibility, we've got to work with the rest of the industrialized world to address the problems of international poverty. But you don't do that by making people in this country even poorer."
This has been the Marxist position.
But now for electoral gains, those principles and the compassion for the working class have melted into thin air.
In addition to targeting political opponents by misusing government agencies, manipulating narratives via the news and social media, ordering mandates, and altering demographics is another Democrat plan to attack U.S. democracy.
The least the Republican controlled House can do is initiate proceedings to impeach Biden for a violation of his oath of office by not enforcing the law at the border.
Brace yourselves: The record-breaking border crisis will probably be even worse in 2023
Despite more border arrests this year than ever recorded in United States history, the recent Supreme Court delay to end the Trump-era Title 42 declaration – which enabled the rapid removal of illegal border jumpers, in order to protect public health – will likely set the stage for even greater frontier chaos in the new year.
On November 15 of last year, U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan permitted the Biden administration to announce the impending end of special, pandemic-related measures put in place along the border pursuant to Title 42.
The term “Title 42” refers to the section of the United States Code where the Public Health Service Act of 1944 (PHSA) is set forth.
The PHSA was aimed at checking the spread of communicable disease in the event of a pandemic. It confers special authority on the Director of the Centers for Disease Control to prohibit “the introduction of persons and property” into the United States that might worsen a public health crisis.
That authority includes the removal of aliens whose presence in the U.S. might result in the continued propagation of a pandemic.
Accordingly, pursuant to the Trump administration’s Title 42 declaration U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) was able to administratively remove aliens apprehended near the Southern border without a hearing before an Immigration judge.
Unsurprisingly, anti-borders activists cheered Judge Sullivan’s directive. While the Trump administration clearly stated that Title 42 authority was being used to help stop the spread of COVID-19, illegal alien advocates complained that the policy was a smokescreen that would allow the rapid removal of “migrants.”
Of course, critics of Team Trump’s Title 42 declaration appeared to be unaware of the fact that foreign nationals have absolutely no right to enter the United States, or to remain here, without authorization from the U.S. government.
Per the District Court order, the White House was to cease summarily expelling aliens pursuant to the Title 42 declaration as early as December 21. The U.S. Supreme Court has put that ruling on hold for now. However, it is unclear why the Biden administration – which insists that we are still in the midst of some type of COVID-19 emergency – is in a hurry to encourage even more people to violate American immigration laws.
Nearly 2.4 million migrant arrests have already been made this year on the border with Mexico – pushing our country’s immigration enforcement resources to the brink of collapse. These record numbers are entirely the result of foreigners who wish to travel to the U.S. believing that President Biden has opened our borders.
And the situation is only going to get worse should Title 42 be completely rescinded – because those outside the U.S. who want to be inside will inevitably interpret the rescission as a renewed invitation to make it inside the U.S. and wait for an amnesty. Department of Homeland Security officials told the media in March that they expect as many as 18,000 migrants per day at the border.
In fact, the situation at the U.S.-Mexico border is so unstable that even prominent members of the Democrat party have begun sounding the alarm. On November 18, Democrat Sens. Kyrsten Sinema and Mark Kelly of Arizona, Jon Tester of Montana, and Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire sent a letter addressed to DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas stating, “We are writing to express our deep concerns regarding the sudden impact that [Sullivan’s ruling] could have on border communities, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), [and] the men and women of the Department of Homeland Security.”
The senators went on to say that unprecedented number of encounters between CBP and illegal aliens have created “untenable” situations and demanded answers as to how DHS will handle crisis. Ultimately, they noted, “This is not safe, and creates a dangerous situation for migrants and communities.”
Title 42 was, ultimately, a special measure designed to aid in protecting the U.S. from a pandemic. It was never intended to last forever. However, in a sea of devastatingly misguided immigration policy decisions, it represented an anchor of sanity that permitted the Border Patrol to continue doing its job.
In reality, there are a number of provisions found within the Immigration and Nationality Act that would allow the president to declare a border crisis, thereby permitting CBP to exercise powers similar to those accorded to it under the PHSA. But the Biden administration – with its radically pro migration policies – is unlikely to employ those tools.
As a result, the virtual anarchy that currently prevails along our southern border is likely to prevail well into the future.

THE ENTIRE REASONS WHY BORDERS ARE OPEN
AND THAT THERE IS NO LAWS ENFORCED AS
MIGHT PERTAIN TO ILLEGALS IS TO KEEP WAGES
DEPRESSED. IS IT WORKING???
Illegal Aliens – Prisoners and Children – Exploited in Sweatshops
How large corporations in AZ and AL use illegals at low wages and long hours to boost profits.
By: Joe Schaeffer
BeyondWords
Another day, another batch of fresh reports about outrageous labor abuse featuring illegal aliens in the Land of the Free. Tragically, once again the horrific Industrial Revolution specter of mistreated child workers is prominently featured.
On Nov. 14, Liberty Nation reported that the US Labor Department had discovered a major food sanitation cleaning company for meatpackers had “at least 31 children” working under extremely hazardous conditions. The company involved, Packers Sanitation Services Inc. LTD (PSSI), has been known to rely on illegal aliens to perform job duties that frequently involve serious bodily injury and even death. December brings more evidence of massive unchecked illegal immigration spurring a return to the working environment of America’s sweatshop days circa 1905.
Illegal Aliens Contracted Out by the State
An investigation by The Arizona Republic discovered that local companies in the Grand Canyon State are hiring prisoners who have US Immigrations and Customs Enforcement detainers against them as hourly workers. The paper wrote on Dec. 12:
“At least 18 people who have the detainers, which means that they can be turned over to immigration officials and deported from the country, were involved in jobs including packaging salads for one of the world’s largest fresh food processors, building trusses and frames for homes for a local construction company and working for lead-generating telecommunications companies. Those jobs paid at least $4.75 an hour, far below the federal or state minimum wage or what companies would actually pay for the work on the outside.”
Shawshank State Prison Warden Samuel Norton would be proud. It’s hard to imagine a more ludicrous image of the degradation of the modern American workplace than a criminal illegal alien that ICE wants to deport cold-calling people around the country at a telemarketing phone bank.
Prisoners have long been made to work, of course. But farming out inmates to private companies is far different from having them repair state roads or work the fields that provide food to the jailhouse kitchen. Pair this state-controlled cheap-labor employment agency with the explosion in illegal immigration numbers and a climate is created in which prisons have a de facto incentive to welcome easily exploitable foreigners into their yards.
“The Republic found an additional eight people classified with ICE detainers who had worked directly for Arizona Correctional Industries, a for-profit business run by the Department of Corrections. ACI uses prisoners and pays them sub-minimum wages to do forced labor for companies,” the paper continued.
“The Arizona Department of Corrections, Rehabilitation and Reentry has used at least 15,700 ‘Mexican nationals’ as hired hands over the past 15 years. Those prisoners are people who were born in Mexico and either have legal residency here, don’t have authorization to live here or are here under a visa program,” The Republic related.
Clocking in at the Plant at Age 12
Things get much uglier in Alabama. An investigation has found “at least four major” auto parts suppliers to car makers Hyundai and its subsidiary Kia have utilized child labor in recent years. Reuters reported Dec. 16:
“At a plant owned by Hwashin America Corp, a supplier to the two car brands in the south Alabama town of Greenville, a 14-year-old Guatemalan girl worked this May assembling auto body components, according to interviews with her father and law enforcement officials. At plants owned by Korean auto-parts maker Ajin Industrial Co, in the east Alabama town of Cusseta, a former production engineer told Reuters he worked with at least ten minors. And six other ex-employees of Ajin said they, too, worked alongside multiple underage laborers.”
These are not isolated incidents. “[A]s many as 10 Alabama plants that supply parts to Hyundai or Kia have been investigated for child labor by various state and federal law enforcement or regulatory agencies, according to two people familiar with the probes,” Reuters stated. Just as with meatpacking sanitation company PSSI, which brings in hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue each year, we are dealing here with a highly successful large corporation that benefits financially from the vile exploitation of children as cheap labor.
New Banner Illegal Immigration Hyundai’s “fast growth and popularity in recent years has led it to become the third-largest automaker by U.S. sales,” Reuters noted. In July, the wire service reported that a 12-year-old boy was working alongside his 14-year-old sister and 15-year-old brother at a Hyundai-owned auto parts supplier essential to its assembly line in Montgomery.
The “children … were among a larger cohort of underage workers who found jobs at the Hyundai-owned supplier over the past few years, according to interviews with a dozen former and current plant employees and labor recruiters,” Reuters related. “Several of these minors, they said, have foregone schooling in order to work long shifts at the plant, a sprawling facility with a documented history of health and safety violations, including amputation hazards.”
Real human beings are suffering due to the federal government’s refusal to secure US borders, and the very nature of work in this country is being profoundly warped in a way that inevitably impacts working-class citizens.
Census: Foreign-Born Population Increases Across All 50 States in 2022
The foreign-born population grew across all 50 states and Washington, DC, this year, a result of the nation’s decades-long legal immigration levels, the latest United States Census Bureau figures show.
While the foreign-born population grew nationwide, California, Florida, and Texas saw the highest gains. California, which lost overall residents this year, added nearly 128,000 immigrants to its population.
Florida, the fastest-growing state in the nation, added more than 125,600 immigrants to its population, while Texas added almost 119,000 immigrants this year.
The South, with 128.7 million residents, was the fastest-growing region in the nation this year, fueled by 868,000 Americans moving to the area from other states and the arrival of almost 415,000 immigrants.
As Breitbart News reported, the U.S. population hit 333.3 million residents this year. More than 80 percent of that population growth is due to the nation’s legal immigration levels, where more than a million foreign nationals are given green cards each year and another million arrive on temporary work visas to take American jobs.
The process known as “chain migration,” wherein newly naturalized citizens can sponsor an unlimited number of foreign relatives for green cards, drives more than 70 percent of the nation’s legal immigration every year.
Without the continued flow of legal immigration to the U.S., the population would have stabilized naturally with about 245,000 new residents added.
Research conducted last year shows that the nation’s foreign-born population is projected to hit a record nearly 70 million by 2060 if current legal immigration levels go unreduced. Today’s foreign-born population, at 48 million, is already the largest number of immigrants ever recorded in American history.
The latest Rasmussen Reports survey finds that 69 percent of Americans want legal immigration levels reduced — including a plurality of 36 percent who want levels cut in at least half. Likewise, 57 percent of Americans want to end chain migration.

Migrants in the cold and somehow, only Greg Abbott is to blame
As tens of thousands of illegal border stream on in into the U.S. and get waved through by Joe Biden's officials, the press is making a big deal about the record low temperatures the migrants are encountering.
Here are the kinds of headlines seen:
Denver asking for federal assistance as influx of migrants continue to rise ahead of frigid weather -CBS News
Migrants near US border face cold wait for key asylum ruling -Associated Press
The press, though, is reserving special opprobrium tof Gov. Greg Abbott of Texas, who transported three busloads of the migrants inundating Texas to border czar Kamala Harris's mansion in Washington, D.C.
More migrants dropped off outside vice president’s home in freezing weather on Christmas Eve -CNN
Democrats rip Gov. Abbott over Christmas Eve migrant drop off near VP Harris’ residence in record-cold temps -Fox News
Texas buses more migrants to Washington, D.C, on a cold Christmas Eve -Fronteras
How to show Greg Abbott and other Grinches the true spirit of Christmas -Baptist News Global
They are pretty well going to town with this "record cold" stuff, using it to portray Abbott as a heartless bastard, even though the bus trips were voluntary, the buses themselves were heated, and alternative seems to have been to let the migrants sleep in the streets of border cities such as ice-cold El Paso, which is what a lot of the 10,000 who rolled through that city this week, are doing.
(Note: Migrants have been reportedly crawling into the U.S. through the sewers in El Paso, which may explain why some are unvetted.)
Seems the press claims "compassion" for the migrants only if Greg Abbott puts them on a bus to some other city.
Never mind that with shelters full, and the domestic homeless populations being shut out of them, federal officials are doing the same thing, dropping off busloads of the incoming migrants in places like San Diego (which is the only warm spot in the country) now. News reports say that San Diego's shelters are now filled to the brim, too.
The whole approach is dishonest, because the migrants are coming in from Mexico, which is also experiencing record-cold temperatures. Whether the migrants stay in Mexico, cross illegally into El Paso, or volunteer to take a heated bus to Washington, D,C, they are going to be cold no matter what.
Let's once again look at what the temperatures are like in Mexico's border cities right now, checking Accuweather. As of this writing, we have:
Matamoros: 50 degrees Fahrenheit.
Nuevo Laredo: 43 degrees.
Juarez: 38 degrees.
Piedras Negras: 37 degrees.
Nogales (Mexican side): 43 degrees.
Accuweather notes a dramatic warmup in the past day. It should be noted that night time temperatures all drop dramatically by about 10 or 15 degrees.
Let's look at what these same temperatures were on Christmas eve, when the rage about Abbott was going strongest:
I checked Accuweather yesterday and found these temperatures in my piece here:
Juarez: 29 degrees.
Matamoros: 33 degrees.
Nuevo Laredo: 28 degrees.
So logically speaking, the migrants would be just as cold if they stayed in Mexico as they would if they crossed over illegally into the U.S. They might be more likely to get a free coat, a free meal, and a free bus right here, but that is the only difference.
Left unsaid is how it could be that migrants who can pay smugglers thousands of dollars to cross illegally into the states somehow not remember or have the resources to buy a coat. Coats are perfectly available for purchase in northern Mexico, and they aren't expensive there, so the failure to plan must be part of the belief that Uncle Sam will pay for everything when they get there. When I travel to a foreign country, I pay attention to what kind of clothing I will need and certainly don't expect my host country to pay for my hotel. The migrants? Not so much.
Which brings us to the real source of the problem: That Joe Biden has created this humanitarian crisis by inviting the migrants in through his policies, and creating great expectations for full care -- transport, food, warm clothing, medical care, education, and housing, all free of charge, with incoming illegal border crossers not even charged fees for seeking asylum. It's all free and who wouldn't take 'free'?
That's the root of the crisis and why we now see migrants sleeping on the streets of El Paso, being dumped by the Border Patrol at San Diego County bus stops, purchasing plane tickets in San Diego for flights out and waiting at the airport for the flights to resume, or transported by bus to Kamala Harris's mansion gate.
Biden invited them in, Biden tell the American people that this is all seasonal and spontaneous or else because global warming, and he fails to use the tools he's been given to only allow in those who have likely valid asylum cases, taking all comers instead, the vast majority of whom are looking for a better life, and a certain number of whom are criminals who can't get in the legal way.
Now we have a humanitarian crisis with the record cold, and Joe Biden's press minions are trying to blame those trying to call it to Joe Biden's attention. Biden can't even be bothered to visit the border, claiming as he has that he has "more important things." Tell that to the people freezing in the cold who were enticed by Joe to come on in.

Noem: Biden Is ‘Destroying Our Border’ to ‘Remake America’
South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem (R) said Tuesday on FNC’s “Fox & Friends” that President Joe Biden is “destroying our border” on “purpose” to “remake” the country.
Noem said, “It’s not a governor’s job. It’s the federal government’s job to secure our border. Greg Abbott is doing what he needs to do down there, spending billions of dollars a year to secure the border because of the failure of the Biden Administration. So, you talk about them building a tent down there on the border. I think that that is just showing the agenda that the federal government has. This isn’t unexpected. This isn’t something that they didn’t foresee happening. This is on purpose. This is on purpose that they are destroying our border because they want to remake this country into something that is not built on the trust that our Founders gave people themselves. Listen, personal responsibility was something that our Founders wanted to give to the people of this country. They wanted them to be able to defend themselves, to make choices for their families, to be able to have liberty and freedom. They didn’t envision what Joe Biden wants for this country.”
She added, “The Biden administration is doing this on purpose. I think it’s time that the American people, whether you are Republican, Democrat, Independent or not even political that you, recognize that what this president is doing is trying to remake America.”

Most Americans Don’t Know How Bad the Border Crisis Is
Now we see what happens when the media ignore a story.
This week could mark the most consequential development on the U.S.-Mexico border since January 2021, when President Joe Biden essentially opened the nation’s doors to millions of illegal border crossers. Depending on how court fights turn out, Title 42, the Trump-era measure that allows the U.S. government to quickly return illegal crossers to Mexico on the grounds of preventing the spread of COVID, will likely soon expire. After that, officials expect a flood of illegal crossers, all coming into the United States confident that they, like hundreds of thousands before them just this year, will be allowed to stay.
The disaster will come on top of the Biden administration’s currently disastrous border policy. In fiscal year 2022, the period from Oct. 1, 2021 to Sept. 30, 2022, Border Patrol agents encountered a record number of migrants crossing illegally into the United States — 2,378,944. Add onto that the estimated 600,000 illegal crossers who got away without any contact with the Border Patrol, and that means close to 3 million border crossers in a single year. The two months since the beginning of the new fiscal year have seen crossings at an even higher rate. And that is before the Title 42 change.
Already, the numbers have risen to unheard-of levels. Recently the Border Patrol reported encountering 16,000 migrants in just 48 hours — 8,000 per day. Compare that to the assessment of Jeh Johnson, President Barack Obama’s head of homeland security, who once said that 1,000 encounters a day constituted a crisis. Now, there are predictions that post-Title 42 encounters might hit as many as 14,000 a day.
Cities and towns along the border have been overwhelmed since the Biden changes took place. Look at these figures from El Paso, Texas, in a story by the Washington Examiner’s Anna Giaritelli: “According to all the data that are publicly available from the city, the 678,000 residents of El Paso have seen 84,082 immigrants released into their town between August 22 and December 11.” That’s an extraordinary influx in the last few months, repeated in other U.S. communities along the border.
But perhaps just as extraordinary has been the decision by many major media organizations that what is happening on the border is no big deal. In particular, major television news networks, with the notable exception of Fox News, have virtually pretended that the crisis was not happening. Recently Fox’s Bill Melugin, who has covered the current crisis close-up since it began, was asked about coverage on the national networks. “I can count on one hand the amount of times I’ve seen them down here in my 19 months of covering this,” Melugin said.
Now, we are seeing what happens when so many in the media ignore a story. A new Harvard-Harris poll shows that Americans have no idea how bad the crisis is. When asked how many illegal crossers are entering the United States, they grossly underestimate the number. They are, in short, in the dark about what is happening on the border.
The pollsters asked: “How many border crossings by illegal immigrants do you think are occurring each year?” They were then given several ranges of numbers to choose from. Now remember, the correct answer for fiscal year 2022 is nearly 3 million.
Sixteen percent guessed that less than 100,000 illegal border crossers entered the United States in a year. Another 21% estimated that somewhere between 100,000 and 250,000 entered the U.S. Another 18% guessed between 250,000 and 500,000. And then 20% guessed between 500,000 and 1 million.
After that, 12% estimated between 1 million and 2 million cross in a year. And then 6% said between 2 million and 3 million. Finally, 7% said the number was over 3 million.
Remember again that the correct answer is about 3 million. All told, 87% of those surveyed underestimated the number of illegal border crossers each year. Significant groups of Americans really underestimated the number — about one-third believed fewer than 250,000 crossers are coming each year, which is a remarkably uninformed opinion. More than half believe less than 500,000 are coming, another remarkably uninformed opinion.
How is it that so many people are so ignorant of what is happening? Might the answer have something to do with the fact that so many news organizations have ignored the problem? Ignore the story and you’ll have ignorant viewers.
The information deficit among so many Americans favors the Biden administration. If more people knew the true scope of the problem the president’s policies have created, then more would likely be concerned, and more would oppose the administration’s actions. Indeed, the Harvard-Harris pollsters, once they informed respondents of the correct answer, asked, “Given these numbers, should the administration continue its current policies or issue new, stricter policies to reduce the flow of people coming across the border?” Sixty-seven percent of those polled favored new, stricter policies, while just 33% wanted to continue current policies.
If more people knew what was happening, more people would demand change.
