Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick: Democrats have no heart or brain
Illegal Alien Felon Sent to Prison for Texas Firearms Charge
A Mexican national illegally living in Zapata, Texas, will spend more than five years in prison for threatening people with a loaded revolver. The man was a convicted felon prior to the incident.
Late last week, 34-year-old Abelardo Javier Caballero-Zamora went before U.S. District Judge Diana Saldana in Laredo. Saldana sentenced Caballero-Zamora to 63 months in prison for the charge of being a felon in possession of a firearm. Since he is in the country illegally, Caballero-Zamora will ultimately face deportation. He had previously pleaded guilty to the charge on January 5.
The case began on April 3, 2021, when Zapata County Sheriff’s deputies responded to a call about a man with a gun threatening people at the Aqua Motel in Zapata. The caller identified the man as “Javier Zamora.”
When deputies arrived, they found the suspect sitting in the driver’s seat of a Ford pick-up. During a search of the truck, officers discovered a loaded .44 caliber revolver hidden between the driver’s seat and middle console with an ammunition box. Prosecutors claimed that earlier in the day, Caballero Zamora had threatened a store clerk with a weapon.
Federal prosecutors revealed that Caballero-Zamora is a habitual offender and was convicted in 2020 for re-entering the country illegally after a deportation. The court was presented with jail calls made by Caballero-Zamora to relatives, where he said he consumed drugs before his arrest and had no memory of the incident. Judge Saldana expressed during sentencing that Caballero-Zamora’s record is “an absolute nightmare” and told him that he “needs to grow up and stay in Mexico.”

Rep. Byron Donalds: Biden's Open Borders Goal Is to 'Change the Electorate'
(CNSNews.com) - Since February 2021, the first full month of Joe Biden's presidency, 3,385,016 people are known to have entered the country illegally, based on "encounter" statistics reported by U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
That number includes 1,946,780 in Fiscal Year 2022, which ends in September (see chart below).
It's not clear how many of the total "encounters" have been expelled for public health or other reasons, only to repeat their illegal entry attempts.
Likewise, an unknown number of people have crossed the southwest border undetected.
"What's the endgame here?" Maria Bartiromo, host of "Sunday Morning Futures," asked Florida Republican Rep. Byron Donalds on Sunday. "What's the point of having this wide-open border?"
"The endgame is to turn them into U.S. citizens at some point with another one of these illegal DACA measures that Barack Obama did when he was in office," Donalds said:
"And so you have kind of changed the population.
"Look, in New York and California, they tried to pass measures where noncitizens can vote. Why would you do that, except you're trying to change the electorate and change the nature of the electorate, so you can keep power?
"Federal immigration law and federal border security law is to protect the citizenry, not just from threats, but also to maintain the cohesion of America. When you have a president who flagrantly violates the law on purpose, not only is it unconstitutional. It's destructive of all of our cities, whether you live in a blue city or a red city, a blue state or a red state.
"Don't believe me. Go ask (New York City Mayor) Eric Adams, who now wants federal support. What Eric Adams should be asking for is for Joe Biden to reverse course on his reckless border policy."
‘The answer is close the border’
Speaking of Mayor Adams, New Jersey Republican Rep. Jeff Van Drew told "Mornings With Maria" on Monday that Adams is learning firsthand what illegal immigration is doing to the country, now that Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is sending busloads of border-crossers to New York City.
"You know, it's wonderful when you give speeches about sanctuary cities and how great they are and we should have open borders but now that -- and I don't blame Texas, and I don't blame governor Abbott at all.
“They're just sending a small percentage of the people that are coming over, and now this mayor is finding out what it really means, and he's even got more resources than these small Texas towns.
"It's easy, the answer is close the border. The answer is, build the wall. It's not complicated stuff. But rather than do that, this mayor of New York City is going to spend all kinds of money that he doesn't spend on taking care of veterans, doesn't take care of the countless number of homeless people that are in New York City, but he is going to take care of people that are illegal, that are bringing in all other kinds of problems including crime, including the cartels, including being on the terror watch list.”
"All of these things so important and so terrible, that's what he's going to bring in."
Van Drew agreed with Donalds that the Democrat goal is to change the nation's demographics:
"Just keep this in mind," Van Drew said:
"With the number of people that have crossed the border since Joe Biden has been president and we have had this (Democrat) majority in Congress, if you were to put them all together they would be -- it's unbelievable, the 30th largest state in the union. We're literally creating new
states in a sense with huge populations we're bringing in.
"It's to make sure that they change the fabric of America, to change America to its core. There's no other reason you would do this."
Van Drew said some of the illegal aliens are "dangerous people," "especially the cartels" that engage in human trafficking and drug trafficking.
‘Overdose awareness’
This past Friday, President Biden issued a proclamation declaring August 28 through September 3, 2022, as "Overdose Awareness Week."
The words "border" and "immigration" do not appear in the proclamation, although it does say that "untreated addiction and drug trafficking" are "two critical drivers of the overdose epidemic."
"We are targeting drug trafficking organizations by disrupting the operating capital they need to sustain their criminal enterprises," the proclamation says. But again, there's no mention of border security.
"During Overdose Awareness Week, we renew our commitment to taking bold action to prevent overdoses and related deaths," the proclamation says. "We continue our efforts to enhance prevention, harm reduction, treatment, and recovery support services for individuals with substance use disorder and addiction. We affirm our duty to stop the flow of illicit drugs from reaching our communities..."
Joe Biden’s Border Chief Complains About Governor Abbott’s Migrant Buses
President Joe Biden’s border chief is complaining about Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s strategy of publicly busing thousands of migrants to Democrat-run cities.
“That lack of coordination wreaks problems in our very efficient processing,” Biden’s border chief told CNN on Thursday. The Cuban-born, pro-migration border chief is Alejandro Mayorkas, and he continued:
These cities have certain capacities …They have the infrastructure to address the needs of migrants, and we need to calibrate the movement of people, according to their capacity and their efficiencies. And that is not being done.
Since 2021, Mayorkas has been using taxpayers’ funding to process economic migrants into a nationwide, multi-city network of nonprofits, legal firms, and transport networks. The network then quickly and quietly moves the migrants from the border to housing and jobs throughout the nation. The New York Times reported on August 20:
“We know their shoe sizes, we know their medical needs, we know their court cases, where their ICE check-ins are,” said Sergio Tupac Uzurin, a volunteer with NYC ICE Watch. “The city wasn’t doing any of that.”
The welcome centers are staffed partly by the city and partly by nonprofits, including Team TLC NYC and Masbia, that provide food, clothing, and other aid.
The money to fund this smuggling network — which includes nighttime flights of migrants into American cities — is pulled from myriad government accounts, including accounts allocated for other tasks by Congress.
So far, Mayorkas and his partners have quietly moved roughly three million people — including roughly one million people who sneaked across the border — to jobs, homes, and government aid throughout the United States.
The rapid distribution network is intended to minimize public awareness of migration, largely by minimizing media coverage of the huge population movement.
Even when invisible on TV, the migration’s massive labor shock is helping to reduce wages for ordinary Americans — and also to spike inflation in housing and auto prices.
But the Abbot disruption has forced the pro-migration corporate media in New York and D.C. to publicize the damaging inflow of migrants — and the taxpayer funding that Democrats are lavishing on migrants instead of on Americans.
“Most of America has not really understood the magnitude of the problem that we have on the border until we started sending these buses up to New York,” Abbott told Fox News adding:
This is not a Texas problem. This is an American problem caused by the President of the United States of America. And so many people have been blind to this until suddenly buses of migrants started showing up in their city, which is a sanctuary city, by the way.
In New York, pro-migration advocates are calling for another $50 million to be spent integrating the illegal economic migrants into the city, despite the need of local Americans for better-paid jobs and cheaper housing:
The New York Immigration Coalition Welcoming New York Campaign is an effort to ensure that every asylum seeker who makes it to New York has the services, shelter, and care that they need to not only survive but thrive — and that we use this opportunity to demonstrate to the rest of the country that welcoming immigrants helps strengthen New York.
The group also wants the city to rejig local laws in favor of the migrants, saying the city government must:
Ensure access to child care for all newly arrived immigrantsFund community-based organizations to do targeted outreach to newly arrived families to ensure all eligible children are able to access these vouchers
Allow for the current $10M of funding to rollover into the next session to ensure that child care vouchers are accessible to families arriving at all points during the school year and into the summer
Eliminate the cap on street vending licenses and permits to provide opportunities for newly arrived immigrant entrepreneurs to thrive
Remove the NYPD for their duties of enforcement of [street] vendors
“In Washington, D.C., meanwhile, Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton is asking for an additional $50 million for the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s Emergency Food and Shelter Program to handle the migrant influx from Texas and Arizona,’ Fox reported on August 24.
Extraction Migration
It is easier for government officials to grow the economy by immigration than by growing exports, productivity, or the birth rate.
So Washington D.C. deliberately extracts millions of migrants from poor countries and uses them as workers, consumers, and renters.
This extraction migration policy both grows and skews the national economy. It prevents tight labor markets and so it shifts vast wealth from ordinary people to investors, billionaires, and Wall Street. It makes it difficult for ordinary Americans to advance in their careers, get married, raise families, or buy homes.
Extraction Migration slows innovation and shrinks Americans’ productivity, partly because it allows employers to boost stock prices by using stoop labor and disposable workers instead of the American professionals and productivity-boosting technology that would allow Americans to earn more money.
This migration policy also reduces exports by minimizing shareholder pressure on U.S. companies to build up beneficial and complementary trade with people in poor countries.
Migration undermines employees’ workplace rights, and it widens the regional economic gaps between the Democrats’ cheap-labor coastal states and the Republicans’ heartland and southern states.
An economy fueled by extraction migration also drains Americans’ political clout over elites, alienates young people, and radicalizes Americans’ democratic civic culture because it gives an excuse for wealthy elites and progressives to ignore despairing Americans at the bottom of society.
This economic strategy is enthusiastically pushed 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 in March 2022. “It will be an extraordinary achievement … We will ultimately triumph,” he boasted.
But the progressives’ colonialism-like economic strategy kills many migrants. It exploits the poverty of migrants and splits foreign families as it extracts human resources from poor home countries to serve wealthy U.S. investors.
Progressives hide this extraction migration economic policy behind a wide variety of noble-sounding explanations and theatrical border security programs. Progressives claim the U.S. is a “Nation of Immigrants,” that migration helps migrants, and that the state must renew itself by replacing populations.
Similarly, establishment Republicans, media businesses, and major GOP donors hide the skew towards investors by ignoring the pocketbook impact and by touting border chaos, welfare spending, migrant crime, and drug smuggling.
Many polls show the public wants to welcome some immigration. But the polls also show deep and broad public opposition to labor migration and the inflow of temporary contract workers into jobs needed by young U.S. graduates.
This “Third Rail” opposition is growing, anti-establishment, multiracial, cross-sex, non-racist, class-based, bipartisan, rational, persistent, and recognizes the solidarity that American citizens owe to one another.
JOE BIDEN = ILLEGALS FIRST!
Exclusive–Bombshell Emails Reveal Biden’s DHS Still Knowingly Releasing COVID-Positive Border Crossers into U.S.
Internal emails at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), exclusively reviewed by Breitbart News, reveal that the agency is continuing to knowingly release COVID-positive border crossers and illegal aliens into the United States.
More than a year after Biden’s DHS was first accused of releasing COVID-positive border crossers and illegal aliens into the U.S. interior as part of its expansive catch and release operation, the agency is still knowingly carrying out such releases.
The internal emails among Border Patrol (BP) officials reveal recent instances where border crossers and illegal aliens were tested for the Chinese coronavirus and, after having tested positive, were released into the state of Arizona.
On July 26, five female border crossers — at least some of which were COVID-positive — were transported on a bus from DHS custody to the Monte Vista Church, an email shows:
Please ensure that you will take all of the required precautions, including wearing masks, gloves, hand sanitizer, and any other personal protective equipment (PPE) that you think essential. [Emphasis added]
This bus will be transported directly to the NGO and will not be stopping at PHO ERO, they will already be served by Yuma BP due to being COVID+. [Emphasis added]
Sources close to Breitbart News said Biden’s DHS is actually not deporting border crossers and illegal aliens when they test positive for coronavirus.
In one of those cases, a husband and wife had been taken into DHS custody after crossing the U.S.-Mexico border. The wife tested positive for coronavirus while her husband tested negative. As a result, despite both being eligible for Title 42 removal, the COVID-positive wife was allowed to stay in the U.S. while her COVID-negative husband was deported.
In a statement to Breitbart News, a Customs and Border Protection (CBP) spokesperson said the agency “provides migrants with PPE from the moment they are taken into custody, and migrants are required to keep masks on at all times, including when they are transferred or in the process of being released.”
The spokesperson continued:
If anyone exhibits signs of illness in CBP custody, they are referred to local health systems for appropriate testing, diagnosis, and treatment. CBP takes its responsibility to prevent the spread of communicable diseases very seriously. We value our partners in local communities whose work is critical to moving individuals safely out of CBP/USBP custody and through the appropriate immigration pathway.
The revelation comes after Biden and his top DHS officials fended off questions last year about the agency’s seemingly common practice of releasing COVID-positive border crossers and illegal aliens into American communities.
In August of last year, Former Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Commissioner Mark Morgan estimated that in Biden’s first six months as president, his DHS had potentially released some 40,000 COVID-positive border crossers and illegal aliens into the U.S. interior.
At the time, Biden’s DHS was forced to admit in federal court that there had been “significantly increased rates” of COVID-positive border crossers and illegal aliens arriving at the southern border.
“The rates at which encountered noncitizens are testing positive for COVID-19 have increased significantly in recent weeks … this has led to increasing numbers of CBP personnel being isolated and hospitalized,” DHS’s David Shahoulian admitted in the August 2021 court brief.
From February 2021 to May 2022, more than a million border crossers and illegal aliens have been released into American communities by the Biden administration. Release figures for June and July have not yet been disclosed.

FNC’s Steve Doocy: Biden Held a Packed Rally to Tout Loan Plan He Used COVID Emergency to Legally Justify
On Friday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends,” co-host Steve Doocy said that the Biden administration has a selective view of the severity of the coronavirus because the administration argued the pandemic is an emergency that justifies the president’s loan program and then held a packed rally in Maryland.
Doocy stated, “The Heroes Act is the justification by the Department of Education, according to the secretary of Education, that they’re using. The Heroes Act, in 2003, was to help men and women who served in Afghanistan and Iraq when we were fighting two wars. And so, then, after that, Donald Trump was — said, you know what, we’re in a time of emergency with the pandemic, we’ll use it at that point. The Biden administration, half the time they’re saying there is no COVID to worry about for the most part. But then, yesterday, they said it’s an emergency, regarding COVID. And last night, the president was up in Rockville, MD, not too far from where you’re sitting, and there were thousands of people sitting six inches from each other, clearly no COVID standards there. So, COVID is over if it’s convenient for Joe’s victory tour.”
Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) remarked, “Yeah, but it’s not over if it’s not convenient for his political goals.”
