"What if they gave a war and nobody came?" That was an anti-Vietnam War slogan from 50–60 years ago. That slogan could be updated and paraphrased for the dog and pony show that was the recently concluded the ninth "Summit of the Americas."
The summit was billed as a summit for all the nations of the Western Hemisphere, but at the outset, Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua were expressly not invited. This provoked Mexico not to attend. This was major and disabled the entire summit, because Mexico, not the United States, is the most important nation in the Western Hemisphere, at least for the stated purposes of the summit, because Mexico not only is the second or third largest country by population in the hemisphere, but is also the gateway border country that separates the Latino portion of the hemisphere from the Anglo portion.
By not attending, Mexican president Andrés Manuel López Obrador as much as said, "¡Mi casa no es su casa! "
In addition, President Biden has managed to offend a number of other Latino countries by snubbing them for not being sufficiently "democratic" and other reasons, all of which provoked Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, and Bolivia also not to attend. And reportedly, Brazilian President Bolsonaro had to be bribed to attend, securing beforehand a promise for a private meeting with Biden, who also had to promise to say nothing that might insult Brazil — for example, talk about how Brazil may be damaging the climate with its activities in the Amazon basin.
Biden launched the summit on Day 1 , Wednesday, June 8, with the truest words he has ever said: "I probably should stop right here."
He shoulda stopped, and quit right there, while he was still behind. It only got worse from that point.
Given that one of the most important topics for the Summit was democracy itself and how to advance it, Biden at the very least should have made sure he could pronounce the word itself correctly.
1:24 – ...Democacy is a hallmark ... captures our unique commitment to democacy as a region ... it affirms the right of people, throughout the Americas to democacy, and our obligation as a (singular) governments (plural), to promote and defend democacy ... in a moment when democacy is under assault, around the world and renew our commitment, that democacy is not only the defining feature ...
It wouldn't be a genuine Biden event without some new malapropisms...
2:26 – At this Summit, we have an opportunity for us to come together [some of "us," anyway], around some bold ideas and VICIOUS actions...
On Day 2 , at the morning session for various Western Hemisphere CEOs, the malapropisms continued.
0:26 – Well, it's wonderful to be with you this morning. I really mean it. I want to thank the Chamber of CONGRESS
Brandon's opposition to "Trickle-Down Economics" is well known; he works it into many of his speeches. This time, it backfired.
3:14 – It's time to put a nail in the coffin into my view of Trickle-Down Economics. It dudn't work. It keeps you in a conv in a increasingly smaller smaller world ...
In other words, if now is the time to put nails into the coffin of his own views on Trickle-Down Economics, then now must be the time to support Trickle-Down Economics. I doubt whether the other leaders knew what he was talking about, anyway.
But getting back to democracy, there was this stunningly dumb remark:
12:28 – And we have more democracies in this hemisphere, than any other, th-hemisphere ...
As if there were more than two hemispheres. The remark is easily rebuttable. According to this site , there are four "full democracies" and 18 "flawed democracies," including the United States itself, in the entire Western Hemisphere, and some 55 in the Eastern.
All the leaders in attendance knew this. How must they feel when they hear Biden speak such gibberish? And for that matter, what must they think when Biden sits down with any of them for a short, informal, televised chat, and Biden has to read from his note cards to know how to say "hello" to them?
So far, on these first two days, the only harm that Biden the clown inflicted was on himself. But it got more serious by far on Day 3 , when the subject turn to migration.
1:14 – Twenty countries, coming together to launch the Los Angeles Declaration on Migration, and Protection ...
But given the absence of Nicaragua; Guatemala; El Salvador; Honduras; and, much more importantly, Mexico , this declaration is worthles , ab initio , because these countries lie on the northern end of Latin America and are the gateway to the rest of the region.
This next Bidenism was notable as a study in sheer incoherence.
1:51 – 'Past few years, the global economic crisis, triggered by COVID-19 pandemic, has now made worse by Russia's war in Ukraine, and the political turmoil, from, auto, efinal, ah to excuse me, autoteh, au tack art (he whistles), autocracies in ah , in our region ...
And now come the lies.
3:48 – And we'll secure our borders, including through innovative, coordinated actions, with our regional partners ...
The most important of whom is Mexico, which did not participate in this farce of a summit.
Biden not only hasn't secured America's border; he doesn't need permission or agreements with any other countries to do so.
The mendacity of this next Bidenism is breathtaking and Goebbels-esque in its sheer grandeur, in its shameless willingness to tell a Big Lie that is so huge that its very size tries to intimidate people from calling it out as the Big Lie that it is.
4:20 – And that's why so many nations, again, 20, representing the entire migration route from Chile to Canada (which isn't part of the migration route), were eager to sign up to be part of this shared solution, and have stepped up, with their own major commitments ...
But it's not "the entire migration route" since, of course, the upper several hundreds of miles of that route, from the Atlantic to Pacific Oceans, are controlled by the several nations that lie at the northern end of Latin America, mentioned about, who weren't part of the summit or its declaration .
Finally, perhaps to cap it all off, in this last Bidenism, Biden claimed that the United States consists of several countries:
4:53 – And like many others, countries in the United States are stepping up with significant commitments as well.
So there you go. A farce of a summit, indeed.

Judge Blocks Biden Immigration Policy: DHS Cannot Change Law Kevin Dietsch/Getty Images, JOAQUIN SARMIENTO/AFP via Getty Images 2:55
A federal judge has blocked President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) from enforcing a policy that limits who immigration officials can arrest and deport.
DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas issued a rule last year that authorizes immigration officials to pick and choose who they can arrest and deport. Instead of arresting and deporting immigrants just for being in the county illegally, Mayorkas ordered immigration authorities to focus on immigrants the department deems a threat to national security, public safety, or border security.
Mayorkas also directed immigration officials to look at “aggravating factors” like the severity of the crime committed and the immigrant’s criminal background, as well as “mitigating factors” like age and length spent in the United States.
“In exercising our discretion, we are guided by the fact that the majority of undocumented noncitizens who could be subject to removal have been contributing members of our communities for years,” Mayorkas’s memo said .
Texas and Louisiana sued the Biden administration over Mayorkas’s policy, arguing the rule violates federal immigration law and financially burdens the state by diverting resources to immigrants who are in the country unlawfully.
United States District Judge Drew B. Tipton agreed with the two states in an order issued on Friday.
Tipton wrote :
It is also true that the Executive Branch may prioritize its resources. But it must do so within the bounds set by Congress. Whatever the outer limits of its authority, the Executive Branch does not have the authority to change the law.
Using the words “discretion” and “prioritization,” the Executive Branch claims the authority to suspend statutory mandates. The law does not sanction this approach. Accepting the Executive Branch’s position would have profound consequences for the separation of powers.
“At times, agents and officers on the ground are forced to make quick decisions as they encounter individuals, and this scheme ties their hands and changes the standard under which they make decisions on whom to detain and when,” Tipton continued.
Tipton vacated Mayorkas’s rule, deeming it “arbitrary and capricious, contrary to law, and failing to observe procedure under the Administrative Procedure Act.” However, Tipton stayed his ruling for seven days, giving Biden’s administration enough time to appeal his decision.
Tipton previously halted Biden’s proposed 100-day deportation moratorium during his first month in office.
Biden’s administration deported a record-low 59,011 illegal immigrants during fiscal year 2021.
The case is Texas v. Mayorkas , No. 6:21-CV-00016 in the U.S District Court for the Southern District of Texas.
Since March, federal immigration officials have apprehended more than 633,000 border crossers and illegal aliens along the U.S.-Mexico border. In May, alone, more than 220,000 border crossers and illegal aliens were apprehended. This figure does not include the tens of thousands who successfully illegally entered the United States undetected.
Biden Plans to Expand Pathways to Legal Migration; 'Unlawful Migration Is Not Acceptable'

(CNSNews.com) - "Safe and orderly migration is good for all of our economies, including the United States," President Joe Biden said on Wednesday in remarks at the opening ceremony of the Summit of the Americas in Los Angeles.
"But unlawful migration is not acceptable," said Biden, who has allowed record illegal flows across the U.S.-Mexico border. "And we will enforce our borders, including through innovative, coordinated action with our regional partners."
Today at the summit, Biden plans to launch the so-called "Los Angeles Declaration," which he described as a "ground-breaking, integrated new approach to managing migration and sharing responsibility across the hemisphere."
On Thursday, a "senior administration official," speaking on background, briefed reporters on the Los Angeles Declaration:
"Tomorrow (Friday), President Biden, alongside fellow heads of state, will announce a regional partnership to address historic migration flows affecting every country in the region.," the official said:
"The Western Hemisphere, as a region, is undergoing historic and unprecedented rates of irregular migration...President Biden is asking all governments along the migratory route to establish and fortify asylum processing in each of their respective countries while more effectively enforcing their borders, conducting screenings, and removing those individuals who do not qualify for asylum.”
The official said the framework "focuses on four main pillars: stability and assistance for communities, legal pathways, humane border management, and coordinated emergency response."
Under the declaration, governments will:
-- expand temporary worker programs to address labor shortages, including in the United States; (make it easier for U.S. employers to bring in workers);
-- open, expand, and reinforce other legal channels for migration — including refugee resettlement, family unification ("which will also help address critical labor shortages," the official said).
-- surge financial support (through the Inter-American Development Bank, World Bank, and other donors) for countries that are hosting large refugee and migrant populations.
-- combat and root out human smuggling networks that prey on the most vulnerable in the region.
-- provide migration opportunities for the people of Haiti, in light of the deteriorating security and humanitarian situation in the country. (The official said the "goal here is to provide legal channels so that folks don’t have to take irregular means to get to safety or to reunite with family.")
According to the official, Biden's announcement is "a major step…towards solving the unprecedented irregular migration challenge in the region and along our border while also focusing resources to modernize immigration and temporary worker programs to address labor shortages that are driving up prices."
A reporter asked how the declaration is going to "meaningfully change the situation for the United States, which, as we know, is taking in the vast majority of migrants in the Western Hemisphere?"
"We would absolutely love to see Congress act on this," the official said. "I think we see that there’s a real opportunity to expand legal channels for migration, and that — that would be good for our economy, good for the United States, but it would also directly have an impact on reducing irregular migration. We will do everything we can within our executive authority."
The official said not every country in the Western Hemisphere is expected to sign the declaration:
"We don’t expect every country to sign. As we were developing the declaration and engaging with countries in the hemisphere, we were prioritizing countries that are most impacted by migration and refugee flows...And there are some countries that have been particularly impacted by the Venezuelan outflows, the Nicaraguan outflows. A country, you know, like Costa Rica and Panama, you know, 9, 10 percent of their population are made up of immigrants and refugees.
“So, you know, there’s certain countries that, I think, feel the pain and recognize the value in coming together, working on responsibility sharing, and advancing — exploring new tools that we can employ to better bring the situation under control.
“So those — we’ve sought to build consensus among those states. And, of course, we opened it up to any other country that wanted to join us, but we were — we were never seeking to have all countries in the Western Hemi- — we didn’t expect to have all countries in the Western Hemisphere sign.”
Mayorkas' Actions Speak Louder Than Words

Actions speak louder than words. In the realm of public policy, that axiom has never been more apparent than now, with regard to the disconnect between the Biden Administration’s words and its actions on the illegal immigration crisis on our southern border. With its words, it tries to appear as if it opposes illegal immigration; but with its actions, it sends a signal to the south that the border is wide open and migrants should make their way to points of entry as fast as they can.
It’s no wonder that south of the border, they’re not paying attention to the words that come out of the mouths of Biden Administration officials. Why should they, when they can instead just look at what’s actually happening on the border? When they do, what they see is a border that’s wide open.
Let’s be clear: the Biden Administration planned this from the beginning. Just hours after taking his hand off the Bible at his inauguration, Biden was signing executive orders and proclamations that reversed the previous administration’s harder-line (and more successful) immigration and border security policies – six on inauguration day alone. Among others, border wall construction funds were redirected, DACA was “preserved” and “fortified,” the state of emergency on the southern border was declared terminated, and “discriminatory” bans on entry into the U.S. were ended . Shortly thereafter, “catch and release” was reinstituted, and, even later, the Biden Administration announced its intent to rescind the use of Title 42 as a means to reject asylum seekers.
Moreover, Biden declared his support for the “U.S. Citizenship Act of 2021,” which advocates themselves proudly proclaim “would represent the most sweeping immigration reform legislation in decades and create the largest legalization program in U.S. history.” And when it comes to Democrats, whenever you read the word “legalization,” you can substitute the word “amnesty.”
South of the border, they noticed.
In the first 16 months of the Biden Administration, about 1.35 million illegal immigrants entered the United States, according to a new report from the Center for Immigration Studies .
Do the math. That’s about 85,000 illegal immigrants arriving every single month.
If illegal immigrants were to continue to come to the United States at that rate for the rest of Biden’s term, the U.S. would add more than 4 million illegal immigrants to its population.
The migration from the south is not over. In fact, it’s about to get worse. According to press accounts , there could soon be another 15,000 migrants arriving at our southern border.
As what could be the largest migrant caravan ever to approach the United States departed Tapachula, located on the Mexico-Guatemala border, Monday, one could only wonder – just what is it going to take to get the Biden Administration to comprehend the depth of its failure, and what will it do if and when it recognizes that it is its own policies that have created the crisis on the southern border?
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas mendaciously mouths the words. “The border is closed,” he said on the Sunday morning shows back in March of 2021, just weeks after taking office. “We are expelling families. We are expelling single adults.” More than a year later, he was repeating himself: “Do not come...our border is not open,” he told CNN’s Dana Bash on “State of the Union” on May 1, 2022.
But when everyone, and I mean everyone, understands that when Mayorkas speaks, all it means is that his lips are moving, and there is no correlation whatsoever between the sounds that come out of his mouth and the action he’s describing, it doesn’t matter how many times he goes on the Sunday shows to talk. All that matters is that everyone can see the reality of the results of his actions, not his words, and they correctly deduce that with him, it’s not so much the words that matter as the actions.
Mayorkas is a disaster as DHS secretary. Under his “leadership,” the agency is not doing its job. The border is not secure, illegal immigrants come across the border virtually at will, the cartels’ control of the border has been strengthened, and there is no end in sight.
With such a stunningly bad record – so bad it actually raises questions about whether or not he’s deliberately acting in contravention of the Constitution – it’s easy to see why so many are calling for Mayorkas’ impeachment, and it’s just as easy to see why Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) has introduced H.Res. 582 , a resolution of impeachment to do just that.

Female Migrant with Murder Conviction Found by Border Patrol in West Texas CBP 4:22
A routine migrant smuggling case thwarted by the Border Patrol at a Laredo Sector Highway Checkpoint on Interstate 35 resulted in the arrest of Ingrid Morales-Rodriguez, a Mexican national over the past weekend. Agents discovered she had been convicted of accessory to commit 2nd degree murder in North Carolina in 2015. Rodriguez’ prior case involved two high-profile murders at the time.
Border Patrol agents first encountered Rodriguez on the evening of June 4, when the 32-year-old female was found hiding in the trunk of a car. A Border Patrol K-9 alerted agents to Rodriguez’ presence during an open-air sniff search. Criminal record checks on Rodriguez revealed a prior arrest and 2017 felony conviction for 2nd degree accessory to commit murder in Chatham County, North Carolina.
Rodriguez was sentenced to 75 to 102 months confinement for the accessory to commit murder conviction. Police believed Rodriguez and an accomplice murdered a man wanted in connection to another murder in Siler City, North Carolina, in 2015.
According to a local news report , Morales’ brush with the law began with the discovery of unidentified human remains in Liberty, North Carolina, in 2015. The remains were identified as Francisco Rivas-Galves, a 21-year-old male who had been reported missing six days earlier. At the time Galves went missing, he was named as a suspect in the disappearance and murder of Esau Abraham Brenes of Siler City.
The Randolph County Sheriff’s Office and the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigations looking into the death of Galves began to focus on two individuals, Ingrid Morales Rodriguez, a Mexican national, and Salvadoran Miguel Angel Munoz who were last seen with Galves on the night he went missing. Based on evidence collected, police theorized Munoz had shot Galves inside a vehicle where Rodriguez was a passenger and they disposed of the body near a rural road.
In May 2016, Ingrid Rodriguez and Miguel Angel Munoz were charged with the murder of Galves. In December 2017, Miguel Angel Munoz pled guilty to 2nd degree murder and Ingrid Rodriguez pled guilty to accessory to commit 2nd degree murder. Munoz was sentenced to 200-252 months. Ingrid Morales-Rodriguez deported to Mexico after completing her prison sentence.
At the time of the discovery of Galves’ remains, one Siler City family was seeking justice for the murder of family member Esau Abraham Brenes. Brenes had gone missing on October 3, 2015, after stopping to give a ride to three people in Siler City. Brenes’ remains were discovered three weeks later. Police determined that Brenes had been robbed, beaten, and shot to death by Galves.
Galves would go missing on the same day Brenes’ remains were discovered. Police arrested Arnold Jaramillo Lopez a 16-year-old accomplice of Galves, as a second suspect in the case . Jaramillo later pled guilty for his role in the Brenes murder and was sentenced to 24 to 31 years in prison.
The return of Rodriguez to the United States is a recent example serious criminal migrants apprehended by Border Patrol. Since June 1, Border Patrol agents have arrested four migrants, including Rodriguez, who have prior domestic convictions for manslaughter and murder.
A total of six migrants who are registered sex offenders were also arrested by Border Patrol in the same time frame. Their crimes included convictions for rape, sexual battery of a child, and lewd/lascivious acts with a child.
On Wednesday, Border Patrol agents in Yuma, Arizona, arrested a Jamaican national wanted for murder in College Point, New York. On the same day, a twice-deported Mexican national was arrested and found to have served seven years in prison for the 2008 attempted murder of a peace officer in California.

Illegal aliens are known to cost U.S. citizens billions to support, but rarely is that experienced as directly as it is now in Portland, Maine, where city officials voted to raise property taxes in order to house 1,200 "asylum seekers," along with 500 homeless.
Mayorkas Extends Covert Migration Pipeline to More Cities Anna Moneymaker/Apu Gomes/Getty Images 7:14
President Joe Biden’s pro-migration border chief is expanding the covert distribution of economic migrants to jobs and homes in Los Angeles, Houston, and Dallas, according to NBC News.
Biden’s border chief is Alejandro Mayorkas, a Cuban-born immigrant who is a pro-migration zealot. He is already using tax dollars to fund a series of progressive shelters and rest stops that provide rest, food, and transport to migrants as they try to reach the targeted workplaces and housing markets needed by Americans.
But the number of his incoming migrants at the border is growing so fast that it will overwhelm those aid groups’ ability to hide the traffic. That is a political problem because crowds of migrants would likely be spotlighted by the evening news. For example, Mayorkas caused a PR disaster for Biden when roughly 30,000 migrants gathered at Del Rio, Texas, in September 2021.

NBC reported on June 8:
The plan would alleviate overcrowding along the border where record high numbers of border crossers have overwhelmed the capacity of local shelters in some cities, at times leading Customs and Border Protection to release migrants on the street to fend for themselves.
…
The new model would use federal funds to send migrants to shelters in cities further inside the country before they go to their final destinations. Besides Los Angeles, cities where they will be sent include Albuquerque, Houston and Dallas. DHS is working with shelters in each of those cities in advance of moving migrants. The agency’s Southwest Border Coordination Center, which combines officials from FEMA, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, CBP and others, is coordinating the effort.
So far, the administration has welcomed at least 1.4 million migrants, each of whom helps to nudge down Americans’ wages and to push up housing prices.
The administration’s pipeline plan is intended to keep the population transfer out of the public’s eye, the New York Times reported on May 24:
As the Biden administration sees about 8,200 border crossings a day — or nearly the population of College Station, Texas, entering the country every two weeks, far more than at this time last year — it is counting on small nonprofit organizations like La Posada Providencia to manage the influx into border cities and towns, helping to stave off politically explosive images of chaos and disorder ahead of the November midterms.
Technically, the administration is not smuggling the cartel-delivered migrants into the U.S. economy because it is first giving them temporary legal status at the border, Todd Bensman, an expert at the Center for Immigration Studies, told Breitbart News on June 8:
What they do is, when they cross the border, [Maoyrkas’ deputies] can very quickly legalize these people. And then what they do after that is say, “Well, they’re legal, we’ve legalized them.” So when they move them after that, they’re moving legalized people. It’s the act of legalizing them [at the border] that is the aiding and abetting [the cartels] part.
Then it just becomes impossible after that [to track the flow of migrants] … unless you follow one of the buses emptying out in Miami and then follow everybody home, they just disappear from vision.

In April, Breitbart News posted a leaked copy of Mayorkas’ border plan, which said:
A. Secretary’s [Mayorkas] Intent.
1 ) Purpose: The purpose of this plan is to describe a proactive approach that humanely prevents and responds to surges in irregular migration across the U.S. [southern border]. This will be done while ensuring that migrants can apply for any form of relief or protection [emphasis added] for which they may be eligible, including asylum, withholding of removal, and protection from removal under the regulations implementing United States obligations under the Convention Against Torture.
The Mexican government is following the same strategy of hiding the population transfer by breaking the huge migrant flow into many small streams. Bensman said:
The Mexican government is providing temporary humanitarian visas that allow migrants to roam anywhere they want in Mexico for 30 days. They’re [also] going to be providing buses that will take the 15,000 [migrants now in southern Mexico] to 10 different Mexican cities in the north. They’re dispersing them around and so they’re free to go anywhere they want. Where do you think they’re gonna go? They’re going to hit the border.
The public is deeply opposed to Biden’s open-border policies. An average of establishment polls shows that the public opposes Biden’s immigration policies by 58 percent to 35 percent. The obvious refusal to manage the border may be feeding into the public’s worry about Biden’s overall management.
Migration advocates welcome the new PR strategy as “responsible border management”:
Extraction Migration
Since at least 1990, the D.C. establishment has extracted tens of millions of migrants and visa workers from poor countries to serve as legal or illegal workers, temporary workers, consumers, and renters for various U.S. investors and CEOs .
This economic strategy of Extraction Migration has no stopping point. It is brutal to ordinary Americans because it cuts their career opportunities, shrinks their salaries and wages , raises their housing costs, and has shoved at least ten million American men out of the labor force.
Extraction migration also distorts the economy and curbs Americans’ productivity , partly because it allows employers to use stoop labor instead of machines . Migration also reduces voters’ political clout , undermines employees’ workplace rights, and widens the regional wealth gaps between the Democrats’ big coastal states and the Republicans’ heartland and southern states.
An economy built on extraction migration also alienates young people and radicalizes Americans’ democratic, equality-promoting civic culture because it allows wealthy elites to ignore despairing Americans at the bottom of society.
VIDEO
The policy is hidden behind a wide variety of noble-sounding excuses and explanations. For example, progressives claim that the U.S. is a “Nation of Immigrants ,” that Americans have a duty to accept foreign refugees, and that the state must renew itself by replacing populations. But the colonialism-like economic strategy also kills many migrants, exploits poor people, and splits foreign families as it extracts human-resources wealth from the poor home countries.
The economic policy is backed by progressives who wish to transform the U.S. from a society governed by European-origin civic culture into a progressive-directed empire of competitive, resentful identity groups. “We’re trying to become the first multiracial, multi-ethnic superpower in the world,” Rep. Rohit Khanna (D-CA) told the New York Times on March 21. “It will be an extraordinary achievement … we will ultimately triumph,” he boasted.
MORE CHEAP LABOR ON THE WAY...... FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD!
President Joe Biden’s deputies and foreign governments are creating new pan-American migration pipelines into the United States, even though Congress has not approved the additional migration into American jobs and housing.
“On Friday, we’ll also come together to launch the Los Angeles Declaration, a ground-breaking, integrated new approach to managing migration and sharing responsibility across the hemisphere,” Biden said Thursday at the Inaugural Ceremony of the Ninth Summit of the Americas.
The meeting includes numerous government leaders from North and South America, including Mexico and Brazil.
The new pipelines are being touted by business interests that want to extract more workers and consumers from poor countries. The new arrivals are meant to augment and replace Americans, even though many millions of Americans are already living paycheck-to-paycheck or have been pushed out of the workforce by the arrival of wage-cutting migrants.
“Safe and orderly migration is good for all of our economies, including the United States,” Biden said. “It can be a catalyst for sustainable growth” of the overall economy, he added
Biden’s deputies are portraying the extraction migration policy as a humanitarian policy.
It “is an approach of shared responsibility where everyone in the hemisphere who is affected by irregular [illegal] migration, in particular, migration more generally … come together to take shared responsibility for managing this in a safe, humane and orderly way,” Secretary of State Antony Blinken told CNN on June 8.
So far, GOP leaders in Congress have done little to block the new pipelines, partly because the GOP’s major donors want to stimulate Wall Street with more migrants.
The proposed multinational pipelines may also steal market shares from the cartels’ for-profit smuggling networks, officials say.
“The declaration represents a mutual commitment to invest in regional solutions that enhance stability, increase opportunities for safe and orderly migration through the region, and crack down on criminal and human trafficking who prey on desperate people,” Biden said.
These pan-American pipelines are just a portion of the new migration routes being created by border chief Alejandro Mayorkas and his deputies without approval from Congress.
For example, Biden’s officials have created a new private immigration system that allows groups — such as billionaire-funded non-profits, universities, or recent immigrants — to import more migrants for their own purposes. The “Uniting for Ukraine” program, according to a June 7 report by the Niskanen Center, allowed:
more than 6,500 Ukrinians have arrived in the U.S. under the program and an additional 27,000 are authorized to travel and will arrive within 90 days. More than 45,000 sponsors have applied to sponsor — that’s more than 1,000 per day submitting their paperwork since program launch.
…
What’s more, the portal designed for Uniting for Ukraine to match sponsors and beneficiaries can be modified to apply to different, future migration streams. For example, it can be tweaked to match skilled visa applicants with employers looking for talent.

Kennedy: Biden’s Inflation ‘Destroying the American Dream’ — ‘Biden Administration Has Just Given Up’ VIDEO
1:47
Thursday on Fox News Channel’s “The Faulkner Focus,” Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) ripped President Joe Biden’s economic plan, saying he was “destroying the American Dream.”
With House Democrats set to hold January 6 committee primetime hearings, Kennedy acknowledged how “repugnant” the riot at the U.S. Capitol was but said the American people cared more about inflation, crime, the border crisis and education.
“I think most Americans are very discouraged right now,” Kennedy outlined. “They’re worried about inflation and crime and inflation and the border … and inflation and their kids’ education. I’m not saying that what happened on January 6 wasn’t repugnant. It was.”
“I’m sure they’re going to try to make it look like C.S.I. Miami so that the ratings will be high,” he added of the hearings. “That’s their business. But I’m telling what I think people are worried about when they lie down to sleep at night and can’t.”
Kennedy declared that the Biden administration had “just given up” instead of trying to fix the inflation issue.
“It is gutting the American people, Harris. It is destroying the American Dream. And we have to address it,” he emphasized. “And it looks to me like the Biden administration has just given up. I heard Secretary Yellen say the other day say, ‘Geez, I’m sorry. I know I told you it was transitory, but it’s going to be with us a while, and I don’t have a solution. I sure admire the problem, but I don’t have a solution, so just get used to it.’ The American people deserve better than that.”

Majority of Americans Bracing for Impact as Biden Continues to Run the U.S. Into the Ground |

Americans are rapidly getting tired of President Joe Biden’s antics with running the White House. As the November midterms begin to surface, Democrats are going to need a lot more than just more empty promises to win back voters.
A new poll by Zogby Analytics found that 59 percent of Hispanics think the country is on the wrong track, while 64 percent of women believe Biden’s time in office has done more damage than not.
The Biden administration has attempted to capture young voters by using TikTok stars to advocate for the Wuhan coronavirus vaccine and social media influencers to parade around the White House capturing what a “great” job Biden is doing. However, 51 percent of millennials agree that the country is taking a nose dive. And it doesn’t help that the younger generations are economically worse off than their parents, thanks to Biden’s gut-wrenching decisions causing sky high inflation and soaring gas prices.
According to the poll, “they have been burdened by student debt, low paying job prospects, rising home costs, which have prevented them from entering the housing market.”
Adding “when Joe Biden became president, he rode a wave of popularity into the White House. His approval rating was 61% and only 35% of voters disapproved of the new president. Voters were hopeful he would turn the country around.”
Fast forward a year and Americans are beginning to rethink their vote, despite many Democrats never willing to admit they were wrong in casting a vote for Biden.
Less than 31 percent think Biden is steering the country in the right direction, with more than half, 61 percent, are bracing for impact.
Manufactured homes have long been a way for lower-income people to become homeowners but now this demographic is also feeling the pressure of rising costs and many fear for their future.
According to data from the U.S. Census Bureau, the average national price for a manufactured home rose almost 50 percent over the course of the pandemic, from $82,900 to $123,200.
The Washington Post interviewed Virginia Rubio, 75, who lives in a trailer park in Washington. Her rent has shot up from $350 to $1,000 a month. She owns the manufactured home but has to pay rent for the land it sits on.
“With an increase like this, I don’t know what we can do,” Rubio said. “We’re all afraid of losing our homes.”

The Post spoke with manufactured homeowners who are not immune to the skyrocketing cost of real estate and the effect of investors gobbling up more and more of the housing inventory, including mobile home parks:
Surging home prices and rents are cascading down to the country’s mobile home parks, where heightened demand, low supply and an increase in corporate owners is driving up monthly costs for low-income residents with few alternatives. At the same time, private-equity firms and developers are often circling nearby, looking to buy up such properties and turn them into more lucrative ventures, including timeshare resorts, wedding venues and condominiums.
…
Private-equity firms including Stockbridge Capital, Carlyle Group and Apollo Global Management have been rapidly buying up mobile home parks over the last decade, often using funding from government-sponsored lenders Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Once they take over, one of their first moves is to raise rent, said [Kate] MacTavish.
MacTavish is an associate professor at Oregon State University whose research focuses on affordable housing and trailer parks.
The Post report continued:
In interviews with a dozen mobile home residents around the country, all said their rents had risen this year. Most reported increases of 10 to 25 percent, although some said monthly payments had doubled or tripled. Their options were increasingly limited, too: Many said they had bought trailers after being priced out of apartments, homes and condominiums and were now unsure of where to go next. They had used up their savings or taken on high-interest loans to buy manufactured homes with little resale value. Some were considering moving into motels, crashing with friends or living in their cars until they could find a more permanent arrangement.
The Post reported that federal data show that 20 million Americans live in mobile homes, which is about six percent of U.S. residences.

Exclusive: Mark Ronchetti Vows to Create ‘Border Enforcement Force’ in New Mexico to Stop Illegal Immigration PAUL RATJE/AFP via Getty Images 3:05
Republican Mark Ronchetti , running to replace New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham (D), vows to create a “Border Enforcement Force” that would deploy agents to the southern border to dismantle illegal immigration and drug trafficking.
During an exclusive interview with SiriusXM Patriot’s Breitbart News Saturday , Ronchetti detailed his plans to defy the Biden administration’s mass migration policies by establishing a law enforcement unit dedicated to the border.
LISTEN:
“We have to temporarily return the National Guard to the border to help the Border Patrol because they just don’t have the staff they need to secure the border,” Ronchetti said.
“Beyond that, what we’re proposing here is to start with a Border Enforcement Force — about 150 agents under the Department of Public Safety here in New Mexico,” he continued. “And their job is going to be two-fold, it’s going to be to go after the fentanyl and to go after the human trafficking which drives most of our violent crime.”
Ronchetti said the Border Enforcement Force would “set up drug interdiction stops with K9 units” along the border. He also said tougher criminal penalties for drug traffickers is part of his larger public safety plan.
“We have an obligation, working with Arizona and Texas, to begin to shut this down,” Ronchetti said. “We also have to have tougher penalties for fentanyl, especially fentanyl dealing, and we have to go after the cartels in the United States because if you think they’re only on the other side of the border, you’re kidding yourself.”
In recent instances, Ronchetti said he spoke with New Mexicans who live along the border where they detailed how the current record-breaking illegal immigration levels under the Biden administration have put their families and communities in grave danger almost daily.
“Talking to people here who live along the border, whether it be ranchers or just families in general and they talk about what’s happening to them on a daily basis and the fact that the Biden administration has abdicated their responsibility along the border,” Ronchetti said.
“We’re 600 border agents short in New Mexico and in the El Paso sector of the border here. There is no help for these people and their families. Literally, people are coming in every day, going up to their houses, looking in their windows, trying to get in their doors,” he continued. “It’s a brutal scenario where they feel like nobody is helping and nobody is listening.”
Since March, federal immigration officials have apprehended more than 633,000 border crossers and illegal aliens along the U.S.-Mexico border. In May, alone, more than 220,000 border crossers and illegal aliens were apprehended. This figure does not include the tens of thousands who successfully illegally entered the United States undetected.
The New Mexico gubernatorial election will take place November 8.

Breitbart Business Digest: Unchecked Inflation Is Shattering the Biden Coalition Alex Wong/Getty Images 4:49
It was almost a year ago that President Biden said there was no one “suggesting there’s unchecked inflation on the way, no serious economist.”
This was not true at the time. By the time Biden made that declaration, Larry Summers had been warning for months that the Biden administration’s policies risked bringing on high inflation by overstimulating. Summers—who had been the Treasury Secretary under Bill Clinton, director of the National Economic Council under Barack Obama, chief economist of the World Bank, and president of Harvard University—presumably counted as a serious economist.
Now there’s no more room for denial. The most recent poll from the Economist and YouGov is indicative of just how big of a problem inflation is for Biden and the Democrats. Sixty-six percent of people say rapidly rising prices are a very important issue. Another 24 percent say inflation is “somewhat important,” making this a rare 90 percent consensus view.

A deeper dive into the demographic breakdown of this 90 percent shows why, as the New York Times reported Wednesday, inflation has “Mr. Biden and his colleagues on the defensive as officials discover that there is no good way to talk to voters about inflation.” Seventy-two percent of women say inflation is a “very important” issue, with another 22 percent saying it is “somewhat important.” Seventy percent of college educated white women, a group that gave 59 percent of their vote to Clinton in 2016 and Biden in 2020, say inflation is “very important.” Sixty-three percent of blacks and 63 percent of Hispanics are in the “very important” column. Fifty-six percent of Democrats say it is “very important,” as do 67 percent of independents.
The Economist /YouGov survey also asked “How serious a problem is inflation in the U.S.?” Phrased this way, 63 percent say it is a “very serious” problem, and 22 percent say it is “somewhat serious.” Fifty-five percent of blacks see inflation as a “very serious” problem, as do 60 percent of Hispanics. Forty-eight percent of Democrats say it is “very serious” and another 33 percent say it is “somewhat serious.” Sixty-eight percent of college educated white women are in the “very serious” problem group. In short, the coalition that put Biden in the White House is alarmed over inflation.
Weirdly, however, the Biden administration still appears to regard this mostly as a messaging problem. “The administration has at times splintered internally over how to discuss price increases and has revised its inflation-related message several times as talking points fail to resonate and new data comes in,” the Times reports . “Economists within the administration are more sidelined when it comes to setting the tone on issues like inflation than in previous White Houses, another person familiar with the discussions said.”
This approach is not inspiring confidence in the public. Fifty-one percent say inflation will be higher six months from now—a dire forecast considering inflation is already at the highest it has been in four decades. Twenty percent say it will be about the same. Among women, 70 percent say inflation will be higher or the same. Fifty-six percent of blacks and 66 percent of Hispanics see inflation rising or staying the same. This is also the opinion of 59 percent of Democrats, 64 percent of independents, and 57 percent of the people who voted for Biden in 2020.
On Friday, the Bureau of Labor Statistics will publish its report on the Consumer Price Index for May. Prices are expected to be up seven-tenths of a percent since April and 8.2 percent compared with a year ago. Core prices, inflation minus food and energy prices, are expected to be up 0.5 percent from a month earlier and 5.9 percent from a year ago. If the forecasts are right, inflation will have slowed down a bit for a second consecutive month. Importantly, however, a slightly slower rate of inflation means prices are still rising, just a little less rapidly. That’s unlikely to do much to improve the public’s perception of the Biden administration’s competence.
Is the public too panicky about inflation? Is it asking too much from the president? Let’s let Biden have the last word.
“My administration understands if we were to experience unchecked inflation over the long-term, that would pose a real challenge to our economy. So while we’re confident that isn’t what we’re seeing today, we’re going to remain vigilant about any response as needed,” Biden said in July of 2021.
Americans just want to see the vigilance he promised us put to effective use.
House Democrats to Hold ‘Field Hearing’ at Southern Border — On Topics Other than the Border John Moore/Getty Images 3:42
House Democrats will travel to Texas’s Rio Grande Valley next week to “conduct a series of field events across the community” and talk about the “implications of outdated infrastructure” instead of the crisis on the Southern Border, where border crossers are entering the country in an alarming rate.
Democrats on the U.S. House Select Committee on Economic Disparity and Fairness in Growth, chaired by Rep. Jim Himes (D-CT), will be led by embattled Texas Rep. Vicente Gonzalez (D-TX), will “conduct a series of field events across the community” to “hear directly from local leaders, community members, and experts about the challenges Deep South Texas.”
The Democrat’s press release notes that they will have “an opportunity to gain first-hand insight as to the implications of outdated infrastructure on working-class communities and its impact on economic mobility.” However, the press release does not include anything about the crisis at the border or the illegal alien population that has ballooned in the country since President Joe Biden has taken office.
In response to the Democrats’ decision to have a field hearing in the Rio Grande Valley without having the Southern Border on their agenda, the Republicans appear to be using the hearing to push their own vision on the same trip.wrote in a press release that they will hold a briefing on June 16th with local law enforcement and “observe law enforcement operations in the area during a night tour along the Southern Border.”
The press release added that in addition to participating in the Democrats’ hearing on the “implications of outdated infrastructure” on the morning of June 17th, the Republicans will hold a hearing on the same day to “discuss the impacts of the Biden Administration’s policies on border towns and the resources needed to secure our border and protect our communities.”
The GOP members hope to hear about the “challenges a variety of local leaders and stakeholders face” while at the border and having a border tour.
“Members will see how the humanitarian crisis at the border is forcing municipalities to use taxpayer-funded resources to deal with the crisis, rather than the infrastructure the community needs,” the press release stated, acknowledging that the Democrats are ignoring the issue.
Breitbart News’s John Binder previously wrote:
President Joe Biden has brought about 1.35 million illegal aliens to the United States since taking office in late January 2021, analysis of the latest Census Bureau data suggests.
Analysis from the Center for Immigration Studies reveals that Biden’s expansive Catch and Release network coupled with his ending of critical policies like the “Remain in Mexico” program has brought about 1.35 million illegal aliens to the U.S. in just 16 months — a foreign population larger than Dallas, Texas.
Since taking office, as Breitbart News noted, Biden has driven the nation’s foreign-born population to an unprecedented 47 million by adding about two million illegal and legal immigrants in less than a year and a half.
Additionally, it has been noted that there are anywhere from 11 to 22 million illegal aliens living in the county. It has been projected that Biden will allow more than four million illegal aliens into the U.S. population by the end of 2024. Furthermore, illegal immigration into the United States ends up costing the American taxpayers roughly $134 billion each year.

Joe Biden’s Leadership Gets 52 Percent Support (in Mexico) Mario Tama/SAUL LOEB/AFP via Getty Images 2:39
President Joe Biden has boosted public support for his leadership and government to 52 percent, but Biden is getting that public support from Mexicans in Mexico, not from Americans in America, according to Gallup.
Gallup reported the good news for Biden on June 7, saying “U.S. leadership had been more popular in Mexico than it had been in several years, with 52% of Mexicans approving of U.S. leadership in 2021.”
The polling data may have been released because Biden is attending the Summit of the Americas in Los Angeles this week.
Back in the United States, Biden’s support among Americans is only 41 percent, according to the average of polls tracked by RealClearPolitics.com .
Biden also has 57 percent opposition where it matters — in the nation that will vote in the November midterm elections.
One of the big issues that has hurt Biden is his decision to open the borders to many economic migrants. That is good news for Mexicans and other people who migrate into Americans’ jobs, housing, and towns — but bad news for Democrats facing the voters. Biden’s poll ratings on immigration are just 35 percent positive, and 59 percent negative, says RealClearPolitics.com .
In contrast, President Donald Trump boosted his polling support in Mexico when he blocked migrants at the border. That decision also sharply reduced the cartel-managed mass migration through Mexico.
The Washington Post conducted a face-to-face survey of 1,200 Mexicans in cooperation with Mexico’s Reforma newspaper:
More than 6 in 10 Mexicans say migrants are a burden on their country because they take jobs and benefits that should belong to Mexicans. A 55 percent majority supports deporting migrants who travel through Mexico to reach the United States.
Those findings defy the perception that Mexico — a country that has sent millions of its own migrants to the United States, sending billions of dollars in remittances — is sympathetic to the surge of Central Americans. Instead, the data suggests Mexicans have turned against the migrants transiting through their own country, expressing antipathy that would be familiar to many supporters of President Trump north of the border.
“When Mexico’s President Andrés Manuel López Obrador agreed to step up Mexico’s immigration enforcement to avert U.S. tariffs, many analysts expected his base to be disillusioned,” the Post reported.
Migrant Caravan Headed to USA Grows to 12K Jacob Garcia/Anadolu Agency via Getty Images 3:45
An organizer of the potentially largest-yet migrant caravan says the group headed to the United States grew to approximately 12,000. The group crossed the border from Guatemala to Mexico over the weekend and could grow to as many as 15,000, leaders estimate. Mexico is offering work visas to the members of the caravan.
Luis Villigran, the leader of the caravan making its way to the U.S. southern border, told Fox News their ranks have swelled to approximately 12,000 migrants. He added that the Government of Mexico is offering work visas, which will also allow free movement within the nation as the migrants head north.
Over the weekend, Mexican police and immigration officials allowed the then nearly 10,000-strong migrant caravan to cross the border from Guatemala into Tapachula, Mexico, Breitbart Texas reported . The group began moving northward without resistance from the Mexican authorities.
The migrants are counting on President Joe Biden to cancel the Title 42 coronavirus protection protocol put in place during the Trump administration.
“He promised the Haitian community he will help them,” migrants told Fox News on Friday. “He will recall Title 42. He will help us have real asylum.”
“Now we need him to keep his promise,” a Haitian migrant stated.
Colombian migrant Robinson Reyes told the BBC they timed their departure from Mexico’s southern region to coincide with the Summit of the Americas in Los Angeles. “That’s why we went out today,” he told the British news outlet. “God willing, they can talk and resolve this”.
U.S. President Joe Biden is expected to meet with many of the regional leaders on Friday and sign a declaration relating to the mass irregular migration crisis. Biden Administration officials reportedly said the president will offer a “bold” new plan designed to share responsibility and “economic support for the countries that have been most impacted by refugees and migration.”
Mexic0’s President Andrés Manuel López Obrador will not be attending the summit or the meeting with President Biden after the White House refused to allow Venezuela and Cuba to participate. A Mexican official will reportedly sign the agreement on their president’s behalf.
By Tuesday, the growing caravan reached the Mexican town of Huixtla, Chiapas, the Associated Press reported . This is approximately 25 miles from where they departed on Monday.
The Mexican asylum agency is reportedly overwhelmed with the increase in migrants in their nation. The AP reported the agency processed more than 130,000 asylum requests in 2021 — triple the previous year. This year the numbers spiked another 20 percent over the 2021 level.
The Biden Administration is in the process of appealing a court order stopping the administration from canceling the Title 42 protocol. In May, open border activists lobbied the administration to bring Title 42 to an end, Breitbart reported .
A combination of official and unofficial numbers from U.S. Customs and Border Protection sources show that more than 600,000 migrants crossed the U.S. border from Mexico since March 1. Ending Title 42 could bring approximately 18,000 illegal border crossers per day to the border, according to a DHS report reviewed by Breitbart.

Our friends the Mexicans, as one might call them, have shown their "friendship" with the U.S., and more specifically the Biden administration, by waving through a huge migrant caravan for illegal entry into the U.S.
According to Fox News:
The organizer of a massive migrant caravan attempting to make its way to the United States says that the Mexican government has offered work visas to migrants, which would allow them to travel freely through the country.
Caravan leader Luis Villigran told Fox News that Mexican officials have told him it will begin issuing 1,000 temporary work visas a day to the migrants in the caravan -- which are estimated to number approximately 12,000 -- as early as tomorrow.
The caravan is headed to the states from southern Mexico, stretches 32 miles, and is said to have up to 15,000 "asylum seekers," waving the flags of the countries they are desperate to not be sent back to.
Prior to that, the migrants had been holed up in Tapachula, supposedly awaiting their permits for work in Mexico, or asylum claim adjudication, having largely been stopped and put there after illegally breaking through through Mexico's Guatemalan border.
Now, organizers of the caravan says Mexico is issuing the permits, whose chief value to the migrants is not the opportunity to work, but to as a travel pass. News outlets report that most migrants will ignore the work offer and move right on through to the U.S. border. Once they illegally cross, they know that with Joe Biden's border policies, the goodies will flow and they can stay. Who'd want to stay and work a low-wage job in Mexico instead?
It comes just as the U.S.-hosted Summit of the Americas is on, and Mexico's president has snubbed attending, a big absence given Mexico's importance to the hemisphere, ostensibly on the grounds that Biden has not invited socialist hellholes Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua to the gathering. It was indeed a stupid move, given the potential Biden would have had, as host, of holding up the socialist failures of those places to the other attendees in a big public forum, particularly as large numbers of Cubans, Venezuelans, and Nicaraguans, are fleeing to the U.S. in that caravan.
But Biden -- and Mexico's president, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador -- are socialists themselves -- so it is not going to happen. They like the socialism.
This isn't the first time Mexico has done this. They are obviously sending a message to Biden.
Back in September, Mexico released a huge caravan of as many as 15,000 mostly Haitians to cross illegally into the U.S. at Del Rio, Texas, waiting for entry to the states as asylum seekers and generally getting it.
Todd Bensman at the Center for Immigration Studies, found that it was a deliberate act by Mexico to send some kind of message :
The surprising answer, which the migrants provided independently in different places and at different times, was universal: on Sunday, September 12, the Mexican government effectively sent a mass of migrants it had bottled up for months in its southern states up to the American border. This move, which appears to have been done under the cover of Mexico's independence week of celebration known as El Grito , essentially foisted a humanitarian problem onto the Americans in a single week.
Perhaps it was a protest at Joe Biden's disorder-at-the-border policies, releasing a number so huge the cameras are not going to miss it. Perhaps it was displeasure at other things. What we know for sure is that Biden has mismanaged relations with Mexico, which President Trump was able to handle with migration deals that stopped huge border caravans from coming through. Biden only offers incentives for illegal border crossing and as a result, Mexico is flooded with migrants from more than 100 countries who used Mexico as a launch point. Perhaps the message was for Biden to stop and restore the Trump era agreements on migration, given the burden the waiting migrants pose on Mexico. Perhaps it is another factor. Mexico has shown itself willing to respond to straight talk and a hard shutdown of the border. Biden has offered no such resolution.
Now he gets twin humiliations on the public relations front -- Mexico boycotting the summit, and Mexico sending in the caravans. The loser? The American public. Thanks, Joe, you did that, too.

Mexico’s president is reviving calls for a continental superstate that would combine North American employers and South American employees – and sideline tens of millions of middle-class Americans. NEIL MUNRO
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
THE NEXT MEXICAN INVASION IS AT HAND: "Mexican president candidate Andrés Manuel López Obrador called for mass immigration to the United States, declaring it a "human right". We will defend all the (Mexican) invaders in the American," Obrador said, adding that immigrants "must leave their towns and find a life, job, welfare, and free medical in the United States." "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."

Mexico: Where Is Your Shame?
At a demonstration Wednesday in Mexico City against Arizona's law.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Immigration: Mexico's government gloated triumphantly after a federal judge's injunction blocked Arizona's immigration law. But it's no victory for Mexico. In fact, Mexico's leaders ought to be mortified.
As radical immigration activists crowed with glee and the Obama administration claimed victory, Mexico's government joined the applause.
Calling Judge Susan Bolton's injunction Wednesday "a step in the right direction," Mexican Foreign Minister Patricia Espinosa declared: "The government of Mexico would like to express its recognition for the determination demonstrated by the federal government of the United States and the actions of the civil organizations that organized lawsuits against the SB 1070 law."
In reality, it ought to be ashamed. Supposedly framed as an issue of federal power pre-empting state power, it's hardly Mexico's business. But Mexico made a big show of saying its interest was in protecting its nationals from the dreadful racism of Arizona that its own citizens, curiously enough, keep fleeing to.
Espinosa said her government was busy collecting data on civil rights violations and her department had issued an all-out travel warning to Mexican nationals about Arizona.
That's where Mexico's hypocrisy is just too much.
First, Mexico encourages illegal immigration to the U.S. Oh, it says it doesn't, but it prints comic book guides for would-be illegal immigrants and provides ID cards for illegals once they get here. In Arizona alone, Mexico keeps five consulates busy.
That's not out of love for its own citizens, but because Mexicans send cash back to Mexico that helps finance the government.
Instead of selling its wasteful state-owned oil company or getting rid of red tape to create jobs in Mexico, Mexico spends the hard currency from remittances. It fails to look at why its citizens leave.
According to the Heritage Foundation-Wall Street Journal 2010 Index of Economic Freedom, Mexico's big problem is — no shock — government corruption, where it ranks below the world average.
That's where Mexico's cartels come in.
Mexico's encouragement of illegal immigration undercuts its valiant war against its smuggling cartels. The cartels' prowess and firepower have made them the only ones who can smuggle effectively across the border. U.S. law enforcers say they now control human-smuggling on our southern border.
Feed them immigrants and they grow more cash-rich — and right now, immigrant smuggling is about a third of the cartels' income.
Mass graves and car bombings are signs of criminal organizations getting bigger, and more powerful. Juarez, which has lost 5,000 people this year, bleeds because cartels fight over not just who gets the drug routes, but who gets the illegal-immigrant smuggling routes, too.
Aside from the cartel mayhem in Mexico, the bodies are piling up in the Arizona desert and U.S. Border Patrol rescues of abandoned illegals left to die have risen.
It's not the desert's fault, and it's certainly not Uncle Sam's fault, as activists claim. No, it's the fact that Mexicans are encouraged to emigrate. Criminal cartels don't fear abandoning their human cargo in the desert, as long as Mexico does nothing and blames Uncle Sam.
Hearing Mexico's government now cheer the Arizona ruling, which will only encourage more illegal immigration, gives the country's regime a pretty inhuman face.
If Mexico had any decency, it would do all it could to discourage illegal immigration and keep a respectful silence about Arizona.
It needs U.S. support for its war on cartels. Instead of insulting American citizens, Mexico should confront directly the reasons why its people are so desperate to leave, and do all in its power to destroy the cartels that are slowly killing the nation. That includes defunding the murderous gangs by halting illegal immigration.
WHAT DOES MEXICO DO WITH THEIR OWN ILLEGALS??? THEY DEPORT THEM ON THE SPOT!!! https://mexicanoccupation.blogspot.com/2018/11/as-mexico-invades-and-loots-america.html

More than one-third of state attorneys general have come out in defense of Florida's ban on sanctuary cities.
After a federal judge halted enforcement of the Florida legislature's ban , which Gov. Ron DeSantis (R.) signed into law in 2019, the state appealed the decision, and 17 attorneys general filed an amicus brief on the Sunshine State’s behalf.
"Sanctuary cities have become havens for illegal aliens and all the social, economic, and criminal costs that illegal immigration entails," Texas attorney general Ken Paxton (R.), one of the brief's signatories, said Tuesday in a statement . "The Florida law simply required local law enforcement officials to comply with federal immigration law."
At least a dozen states have banned cities from impeding immigration enforcement against undocumented immigrants. Nearly half of voters see illegal immigration as a critical threat to U.S. interests in the next 10 years, according to a poll conducted by Morning Consult and Politico . Illegal immigration has skyrocketed under the Biden administration. Customs and Border Patrol encountered a record 1.6 million illegal immigrants during the 2021 fiscal year, and officials expect that number to rise to 2.3 million in 2022.
DeSantis in 2019 said he was proud to "uphold the rule of law and ensure that our communities are safe" by keeping sanctuary cities out of Florida.

Exclusive: Mark Ronchetti Vows to Create ‘Border Enforcement Force’ in New Mexico to Stop Illegal Immigration PAUL RATJE/AFP via Getty Images 3:05
Republican Mark Ronchetti , running to replace New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham (D), vows to create a “Border Enforcement Force” that would deploy agents to the southern border to dismantle illegal immigration and drug trafficking.
During an exclusive interview with SiriusXM Patriot’s Breitbart News Saturday , Ronchetti detailed his plans to defy the Biden administration’s mass migration policies by establishing a law enforcement unit dedicated to the border.
LISTEN:
“We have to temporarily return the National Guard to the border to help the Border Patrol because they just don’t have the staff they need to secure the border,” Ronchetti said.
“Beyond that, what we’re proposing here is to start with a Border Enforcement Force — about 150 agents under the Department of Public Safety here in New Mexico,” he continued. “And their job is going to be two-fold, it’s going to be to go after the fentanyl and to go after the human trafficking which drives most of our violent crime.”
Ronchetti said the Border Enforcement Force would “set up drug interdiction stops with K9 units” along the border. He also said tougher criminal penalties for drug traffickers is part of his larger public safety plan.
“We have an obligation, working with Arizona and Texas, to begin to shut this down,” Ronchetti said. “We also have to have tougher penalties for fentanyl, especially fentanyl dealing, and we have to go after the cartels in the United States because if you think they’re only on the other side of the border, you’re kidding yourself.”
In recent instances, Ronchetti said he spoke with New Mexicans who live along the border where they detailed how the current record-breaking illegal immigration levels under the Biden administration have put their families and communities in grave danger almost daily.
“Talking to people here who live along the border, whether it be ranchers or just families in general and they talk about what’s happening to them on a daily basis and the fact that the Biden administration has abdicated their responsibility along the border,” Ronchetti said.
“We’re 600 border agents short in New Mexico and in the El Paso sector of the border here. There is no help for these people and their families. Literally, people are coming in every day, going up to their houses, looking in their windows, trying to get in their doors,” he continued. “It’s a brutal scenario where they feel like nobody is helping and nobody is listening.”
Since March, federal immigration officials have apprehended more than 633,000 border crossers and illegal aliens along the U.S.-Mexico border. In May, alone, more than 220,000 border crossers and illegal aliens were apprehended. This figure does not include the tens of thousands who successfully illegally entered the United States undetected.
The New Mexico gubernatorial election will take place November 8.
