Sen. Jon Tester (D-MT), facing reelection next year, is backing a crackdown on fentanyl pouring into the United States after previously blocking hundreds of millions in funding to help stop the flow of the deadly drug through the nation’s southern border.
In a video message posted this week, Tester said, “Too many Montana families are reeling from the dangerous flow of fentanyl coming across our borders and into our communities,” noting that he and other lawmakers have sent a letter to President Joe Biden asking the administration to act on the issue.
“The truth is, I’m sick and tired of Washington politicians’ lip service when it comes to securing our borders and keeping our communities safe,” Tester said:
That’s why I just sent a letter to President Biden … urging this administration to invest in technology that will help our brave men and women in law enforcement crack down on illicit drug trafficking . Getting our Border Patrol agents the tools they need to scan vehicles and ships entering our Ports of Entry so they can seize contraband is just common sense. [Emphasis added]
Montana shouldn’t have to wait another minute to feel safe from the scourage of fentanyl and I’ll hold the administration’s feet to the fire until this is done. [Emphasis added]

Tester’s comments come after he previously opposed spending hundreds of millions of dollars on chemical screening for Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents at the border’s Ports of Entry to better catch drug traffickers smuggling fentanyl.
Specifically, in 2021, Tester was among 50 Senate Democrats who successfully blocked sending an additional $300 million to invest in chemical screening devices for CBP agents. The amendment, if passed, would have been added to Biden’s American Rescue Plan.
Now, the Biden administration admits that more chemical screening devices are needed at the border to crack down on the fentanyl crisis.
In 2020, nearly 200 Montana residents died of drug overdoses and poisonings — many of which were linked to fentanyl. Compare that figure to 2005 when fewer than 100 Montana residents died from drug overdoses and poisonings, indicating a nearly 70 percent increase in less than two decades.
Nationally, more than 100,000 Americans die every year from drug overdoses, including tiny doses of fentanyl. Put another way, the U.S. is losing a population the size of South Bend, Indiana, every year from drugs, primarily coming across the border.

For starters, let's define the "fentanyl crises" for what it really is: Chemical warfare, effectively perpetrated on the American people by the Chinese communist government and their Mexican-cartel allies. This administration's open border, which is clearly an intentional policy, marks Biden and Harris as co-conspirators in what's arguably the CCP's chemical-weapons assault on U.S. citizens.

Mexican President Lopez Obrador: Don’t Vote Republican AP Photo/Andrew Harnik 2:04
Mexico’s president said he would call for all Hispanics to not vote for Republicans, because they are members of a “corrupt, inhumane, and hypocritical” party. The harsh words come as U.S. politicians call for a stronger response to Mexican cartels, particularly after the recent fatal kidnappings of four Americans.
“If they don’t change their attitude and think they are going to use Mexico for their purposes with propaganda, elections, and politicking, we are going to call for [people] to not vote for that party, for being interventionist, inhumane, hypocrite and corrupt,” said Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (AMLO).
Lopez Obrador also blamed the U.S. for the fentanyl crisis , claiming Mexico does not produce or consume the deadly drug.
The Mexican president claimed the Republican Party stood silent after U.S. health authorities approved the use of opioids “supposedly for pain relief.”
Lopez Obrador also criticized the gun lobby for funding Republican candidates amid cartel violence. “Eighty percent of the high-powered weapons used by the delinquency in Mexico are sold in the U.S. and they don’t even have a registry of that,” he said. “Even more, some of the legislators of the Republican Party are financed by the companies that produce the weapons.”

Mexican president to US: Fentanyl is your probl em
MARK STEVENSON
MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexico’s president said Thursday that his country does not produce or consume fentanyl, despite enormous evidence to the contrary.
President Andrés Manuel López Obrador appeared to depict the synthetic opioid epidemic largely as a U.S. problem, and said the United States should use family values to fight drug addiction.
His statement came during a visit to Mexico by Liz Sherwood-Randall, the White House homeland security adviser, to discuss the fentanyl crisis. It also comes amid calls by some U.S. Republicans to use the U.S. military to attack drug labs in Mexico.
The Mexican government has acknowledged in the past that fentanyl is produced at labs in Mexico using precursor chemicals imported from China. Fentanyl has been blamed for about 70,000 opioid deaths per year in the United States.
“Here, we do not produce fentanyl, and we do not have consumption of fentanyl,” López Obrador said. “Why don't they (the United States) take care of their problem of social decay?"
H e went on to recite a list of reasons why Americans might be turning to fentanyl, including single-parent families, parents who kick grown children out of their houses and people who put elderly relatives in old-age homes “and visit them once a year.”
His statement contrasted sharply with a Thursday tweet from U.S. Ambassador Ken Salazar saying a meeting between Sherwood-Randall and Mexico's attorney general was meant “to enhance security cooperation and fight against the scourge of fentanyl to better protect our two nations.”
There is little debate among U.S. and even Mexican officials that almost all the fentanyl consumed in the United States is produced and processed in Mexico.
I n February, the Mexican army announced it seized more than a half million fentanyl pills in what it called the largest synthetic drug lab found to date. The army said the outdoor lab was discovered in Culiacan, the capital of Sinaloa state.
In the same city in 2021, the army raided a lab that it said probably made about 70 million of the blue fentanyl pills every month for the Sinaloa cartel.
“The president is lying,” said Mexican security analyst David Saucedo. “The Mexican cartels, above all the CJNG ( Jalisco New Generation Cartel) and the Sinaloa Cartel have learned to manufacture it.”
“They themselves buy the precursor chemicals, set up laboratories to produce fentanyl and distribute it to cities in the United States and sell it,” Saucedo said. “Little by little they have begun to build a monopoly on fentanyl, because the Mexican cartels are present along the whole chain of production and sales.”
While it is true that fentanyl consumption appears to remain low in Mexico and largely confined to northern border areas, that may be because the Mexican government is so bad at detecting it. A 2019 study in the border city of Tijuana showed that 93% of samples of methamphetamines and heroin there contained some fentanyl.
Saucedo said fentanyl exports to the U.S. are so lucrative for Mexican cartels that they previously had not seen a need to develop a domestic market for the drug.
“It is true that fentanyl consumption in Mexico is marginal, but some mid-level cartels have begun selling it in border cities and in big cities like Leon, Mexico City and Monterrey,” Saucedo said.
On Wednesday, U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham held a news conference, saying he wanted “to unleash the fury and might of the U.S. against these cartels."
“The second step that we will be engaging in is give the military the authority to go after these organizations wherever they exist,” Graham said. "Not to invade Mexico. Not to shoot Mexican airplanes down. But to destroy drug labs that are poisoning Americans.”
FUK MEXICO!
NEXT TO THE DEMOCRAT PARTY, THERE IS NO GREATER THEAT TO AMERICA THAN MEXICO!
López Obrador said Mexico would not accept such threats, calling them “an insult to Mexico and a lack of respect for our independence and sovereignty.”
López threatened to start a campaign in the United States asking Mexicans and Hispanics who live there not to vote for Republicans.
“We are going to issue a call not to vote for that party, because they are inhuman and interventionist,” López Obrador said.
Security analyst Alejandro Hope said López Obrador appeared trapped between his own “hugs, not bullets” strategy of not confronting cartels — which plays well among his supporters — and increasing U.S. pressure, especially from Republicans. Portraying himself as the defender of Mexico's sovereignty has been an easy out for López Obrador in the past.
Hope said the Mexican president may not realize how much the issue of declaring Mexican cartels terrorist organizations could become a conservative rallying cry in 2024, just as former President Donald Trump's call for a border wall was in 2016.
“It's the wall, version 2024,” said Hope. “He (López Obrador) believes everybody is as willing to make deals as Trump, but many of these (Republicans) are much more ideological.”
“The problem is that it puts the Biden administration in a terrible position, it puts it between the Republicans' intransigence and López Obrador's intransigence,” Hope said.
Marcelo Ebrard, Mexico's top diplomat, wrote in his Twitter account Thursday that proposals like Graham's would be “catastrophic for bilateral anti-drug cooperation.”
“They (Republicans) know that the fentanyl epidemic did not originate in Mexico, but in the United States,” Ebrard wrote. “They know that more work is being done against fentanyl now than ever.”
M exicans, both in government and outside it, are clearly afraid of fentanyl use increasing in Mexico. A civic group has launched a campaign of painting walls with the slogan “Mxsinfentanilo” — “Mexico without fentanyl” — and López Obrador has launched a series of anti-drug TV ads.
But once again, López Obrador's government appears to view fentanyl as a U.S. problem.
In the ads launched in November, the Mexican government used videos of homeless people and open-air drug users in Philadelphia’s embattled Kensington neighborhood to try to scare young people away from drugs.
Sorry amigos: The maggot is going to pay.
What we are seeing here is plain old garden variety Mexican meddling in our internal affairs, this time rooted in some icky festering wounded national pride, some bid from Mexico to assert itself over U.S. laws in the wake of Trump's muscle on Mexico over the illegal migrant surge, using the U.S. courts with their continuous anti-Trump rulings to make itself the sovereign here. Mexico has already sent their illegals and now they want to take over gubernatorially through the courts, which puts this act on a continuum.

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.

Mexico’s President Says Biden Responsible for Migrant Surge at Border
ILDEFONSO ORTIZ and BRANDON DARBY
Expectations created by President Joe Biden about better treatment for migrants led to the current border surge, said Mexico’s President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (AMLO).
During his daily news conference, AMLO spoke about the ongoing border crisis and said the increase in migrants entering Mexico and heading to the U.S. is partly due to the expectations created by President Biden.

“Expectations were created that with the Government of President Biden there would be a better treatment of migrants. And this has caused Central American migrants, and also from our country, wanting to cross the border thinking that it is easier to do so,” AMLO said.
The statements come one day after Mexico’s military confirmed the deployment of 8,700 soldiers to curb the growing number of migrants traveling through the country.

Mexico’s president says he will share with President Joe Biden his willingness to find a way to legalize the flow of migrants from Central America and Mexico as a way to meet American labor needs.
“I have a teleconference with Biden on Monday and we are going to talk about that topic,” President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (AMLO) said this weekend during one of his news conferences. “Let’s fix the migratory flow, legalizing it, to give guarantees to the workers so they don’t risk their lives, and that their human rights are protected.”
During the conference, AMLO said the U.S. would need about 600,000 to 800,000 laborers per year for economic growth. The Mexican politician brought up the Bracero program when the U.S. provided migrant farmworkers with permits during World War II.
The topic of the migrant workflow had not been previously discussed publicly by the Foreign Relations Ministry or the Interior Secretariat ahead of the virtual meeting between Lopez Obrador and Biden.
The issue comes as Mexican authorities see a dramatic rise in human smuggling activities as thousands of Central American migrants continue to make their way north. Mexican officials predicted a dramatic rise in migratory flows at the start of 2021 due to work shortages from the pandemic and recent natural disasters that shook Central America. Officials in Mexico did not publicly discuss the political effect that a Biden Administration would have on the matter.
Mexican authorities have found several large groups of migrants at hotels or being moved in tractor-trailers in recent weeks. Officials are also seeing a spike in ransom kidnappings where cartel-connected human smugglers hold migrants to further extort their families .

Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (AMLO) praised President Joe Biden’s soft approach to immigration Tuesday, adding that his government plans to press American voters to not support candidates promising increased border security investments.
During his Tuesday morning news conference, AMLO congratulated Biden for not “mistreating” migrants and claimed the Hispanic population would remember at the polls the way that politicians treated migrants.
“We have a lot of respect for President Biden, among other things because he is the only one of the United States presidents of recent years who did not propose building walls,” Lopez Obrador said. “We give him credit for that, and we give credit to President Biden for no [immigration] raids.”
Lopez Obrador also criticized U.S. Congressmen for blocking Biden’s efforts to “regularize migrants” as had been promised during his campaign. The president also criticized the approach of Republicans calling for stronger border security.
“Because it is very easy to say, ‘We are going to militarize the border, we are going to put up walls,’ seeking easy applause,” AMLO said. “This policy will no longer work.”
Despite previously claiming that he follows a non-intervention approach, AMLO said his government would pressure U.S. voters to fight in favor of migrants.
“Because if there is the mistreatment of migrants and especially Mexicans, we are going to call not to vote for those parties and for those candidates — in the exercise of our freedoms,” Mexico’s president said.

JOE BIDEN = FUKING SOCIOPATH!
Joe Biden Knocked for Laughing While Discussing Fentanyl Deaths of Mother’s Sons Drew Angerer/Getty 3:15
President Joe Biden sparked criticism Wednesday night after he laughed briefly while discussing a mother who lost her two sons to fentanyl.
As Breitbart News reported , Michigan mother Rebecca Kiessling testified before the U.S. House this week about how the fentanyl epidemic claimed the life of her two sons — Caleb and Kyler.
“You talk about welcoming those crossing our border ‘seeking protection’ — you’re welcoming drug dealers across our border!” she said.
“I don’t use the term ‘drug overdose’ because this was not an overdose. This was murder. My children got fake Percocets pills] that were fentanyl. There was no Percocet in it at all. And it’s ‘homicide,’ not ‘overdose,'” she added.
Kiessling further argued the U.S. would take greater action if the fentanyl streaming across the border had been weapons of mass destruction from a foreign government.
“If we had Chinese troops lining up along our southern border with weapons aimed at our people, with weapons of mass destruction aimed at our cities, you damned well know you would do something about it. We have a weather balloon from China going across the country. Nobody died, and everybody’s freaking out about it,” she said.
“But 100,000 die [Americans] every year, and nothing’s being done. Not enough is being done. Numbers are going up, not down. And you talk about [migrant] children being taken away from their parents. My children were taken away from me!” she added.
Watch as Rebecca Kiessling testifies before the U.S. House about how the fentanyl epidemic claimed the life of her two sons:
C-SPAN During the hearing, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) pinned the blame on Joe Biden’s government.
“This government has failed you, and it’s failing American families, and it’s failing, most of all, it’s failing our children and our young people,” Greene said.
After the hearing, Greene tweeted: “Listen to this mother, who lost two children to fentanyl poisoning, tell the truth about both of her son’s murders because of the Biden administrations refusal to secure our border and stop the Cartel’s from murdering Americans everyday by Chinese fentanyl.”
Speaking at the House Democratic Caucus Issues Conference in Baltimore, Maryland on Wednesday night, Joe Biden chuckled when speaking about Greene’s comments on the matter.
“Isn’t [Greene] amazing? Oof,” Biden said as he laughed

“I should digress, probably, I’ve read, she, she was very specific recently, saying that a mom, a poor mother who lost two kids to fentanyl, that, that I killed her sons. Well, the interesting thing is that fentanyl they took came during the last administration,” Biden said while laughing.
“Under Biden, illegal drug trafficking is WAY up. 1,400 pounds of fentanyl was seized at the southern border in January. It was the SEVENTH month in a row where more than a thousand pounds was uncovered by Border Patrol — with much more passing through undetected,” tweeted RNC Research.
The mother of two children killed by fentanyl poisoning slammed the federal government’s extravagant support for illegal migrants in a House hearing on Tuesday.
“You talk about welcoming those crossing our border “seeking protection” — you’re welcoming drug dealers across our border!” said Rebecca Kiessling, the emotional Michigan mother of sons Caleb and Kyler, adding:
I don’t use the term “drug overdose” because this was not an overdose. This was murder. My children got fake Percocets pills] that were fentanyl. There was no Percocet in it at all. And it’s “homicide,” not “overdose.”
Her sons, Caleb, 20, and Kyler, 18, and another friend, 17-year-old Sophia Harris, died in July 2020 in a hotel room in Auburn Hills, Mich.
Kiessling said:
If we had Chinese troops lining up along our southern border with weapons aimed at our people, with weapons of mass destruction aimed at our cities, you damned well know you would do something about it. We have a weather balloon from China going across the country. Nobody died, and everybody’s freaking out about it.
But 100,000 die [Americans] every year, and nothing’s being done. Not enough is being done. Numbers are going up, not down. And you talk about [migrant] children being taken away from their parents. My children were taken away from me!
A 100,000 Americans a year — 200,000 because it’s both parents, right” — are having their children taken away from them!
This should not be politicized. It’s not about race. Fentanyl doesn’t care about race. You talk about welcoming those crossing our border “seeking protection.” You’re welcoming drug dealers across our border. You’re giving them protection. You’re not protecting our children. I’ve been in support groups on Facebook with there’s 1000s of parents who have lost their children. Everyday faces are added.
It’s dehumanizing, it’s demoralizing.
Kiessling was invited to testify by Rep. Mark Green (R-TN), the chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security.
In contrast, Democrats used most of their time during the hearing to call for more migration. A Democratic press statement ignored Kiessling’s testimony and said :
Today, Rep. Bennie G. Thompson (D-MS), Ranking Member of the Committee on Homeland Security, led Committee Democrats in calling out Republicans for holding another politically charged border security hearing to attack the Administration while ignoring the clear need for comprehensive immigration reform to address the situation at the border.
Since 2021, Biden and his deputies have dismantled border protections and welcomed at least 3 million migrants — including 1 million stealthy “gotaways” — across the U.S. border. The economic inflow has helped hide the fast-rising inflow of smuggled fentanyl and other drugs that kill 100,000 Americans each year.
But neither GOP politicians nor President Joe Biden has been willing to use economic pressure on Mexico’s government to make it fight the very wealthy and heavily armed cartels that kill roughly 100,000 Americans each year.
In 2019, President Donald Trump forced Mexico to curb the inflow of migrants by threatening to throttle Mexico’s trade with U.S. companies. Business groups raged against Trump’s threat — but Mexico gave in and curbed the inflow of migrants to very low levels.
Instead of copying Trump’s diplomatic and economic pressure, White House officials and legislators in both parties now prefer to talk about other things — border chaos, refugees, cheap labor, asylum, reforms, drug interdictions, and amnesties.
Those debates and chatter look good on TV — and they do not anger the business groups that both parties consider vital to their chances of victory in 2024.
The beltway silence about diplomatic and trade pressure also helps the White House by ensuring Mexico’s continued cooperation with the quiet inflow of perhaps 600,000 more migrants before the 2024 elections.
“We are doing that which needs to be done” about drugs, Biden’s pro-migration homeland security chief told the Washington Post in January.
California Border Crossing Sets Record for Meth, Fentanyl Seizures U.S. Customs and Border Protection 2:35
U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers assigned to the Andrade Port of Entry in California established a new port record with the seizure of nearly $1 million worth of fentanyl and methamphetamine. The officers found the drugs hidden in a vehicle’s fuel tank.
CBP officers assigned to the Andrade Port of Entry on February 26 observed a woman driving a 2016 pickup truck approaching from Mexico for entry inspection into the United States. During the initial interview, the officer decided to refer the woman to a secondary inspection checkpoint.
At the secondary station, officers conducted a non-intrusive inspection of the vehicle. A K-9 team also did a walk around the truck and alerted to an odor it is trained to detect, according to a statement from CBP officials.
The officers began a physical search of the truck. During the inspection they discovered 76 packages of drugs hidden in the fuel tank, officials reported. Testing of the drugs returned positive indications for fentanyl and methamphetamine.
Officers seized 46 packages of fentanyl pills. The packages weighed approximately 54 pounds, officials stated. They have an estimated street value of nearly $747,000.
The remaining 30 packages contained approximately 32 pounds of methamphetamine. Officials estimate the value to be about $212,000.
In total, the drugs had a combined value of nearly $1 million, setting a record for the Andrade Port of Entry.
Officers arrested the 37-year-old woman, a U.S. citizen, and turned or over to ICE Homeland Security Investigations for further investigations.
“Fentanyl is one of the deadliest drug threats our nation has ever encountered. Continuing to amplify fentanyl awareness and the dangers it poses to the health and safety of the American people is paramount,” said Sidney Aki, CBP Director of Field Operations in San Diego. “Day after day, our officers work diligently on the front line to secure our borders and keep our communities safe.”

“All our street gangs are a problem,” Lawhead said. “They create an environment of fear. Gangs in general are responsible for a majority of our homicides and a lot of the other illegal activity in the city.”
Watch: Mom Testifies About Sons’ Drug Deaths amid Mayorkas’ Open Border
The House Committee on Homeland Security is using its first hearing to show how cartels carry drugs through the border region, setting up a fight with Democrats who are determined to downplay the civic damage caused by illegal migration and the drug cartels.
“This is killing Americans – we must reestablish control of our southern border,” said chairman Rep. Mark Green (R-TN). “We must establish control of our southern border.”
“This hearing should be a wake-up call… our colleagues across the aisle must recognize the [nationwide] humanitarian tragedy,” Green added.
One of the witnesses testified about the loss of her two sons to fentanyl hidden in Percocet pills. “You welcoming drug dealers coming across the border … You’re not protecting our children,” Rebecca Kiessling, Rochester Hills, Michigan.
Another witness described how his hospital was forced to provide $26 million in free healthcare in one year to a wide variety of ill migrants.
The federal government’s failure to curb the inflow of drugs contributes to the deaths of more than 100,000 Americans each year.
In response, Democrats defend the loose border policies overseen by the nation’s pro-migration homeland secretary, Alejandro Mayorkas.
Those policies have provided businesses with millions of imported cheap workers, renters, and consumers, have minimized diplomatic pressure on Mexico to curb cartels, and also have diverted border resources toward the task of welcoming economic migrants.
Democrats also tout a GOP member of the committee, Rep. Tony Gonzalez (R-TX), because of his opposition to a GOP border-reform bill.
Both Republicans and Democrats try to downplay the economic purposes and impact of migration on American society.
The Democrats’ witness for the hearing is David Bier, a pro-migration advocate from Cato Institute.
The hearing, titled “Every State is a Border State: Examining Secretary Mayorkas’ Border Crisis,” can be watched here:

Mexican President Celebrates ’40 Million’ Mexicans in the U.S. Finally: New York Times Admits Biden’s ‘Migrant Children Work Brutal Jobs’ File Photo: U.S. Border Patrol/Tucson Sector 6:13
Hundreds of thousands of migrant teenagers are working “brutal jobs” to pay off their smuggling debts amid President Joe Biden’s loose border rules, the New York Times admitted in a February 25 article.
“Cristian works a construction job instead of going to school. He is 14 … Carolina packages Cheerios at night in a factory. She is 15 … Wander starts looking for day-labor jobs before sunrise. He is 13,” are the newspaper’s captions of photographs showing young teenagers admitted via the “Unaccompanied Alien Child” border loophole.
The children usually work for staffing companies at low-wage subsidiaries of Fortune 500 companies, such as PepsiCo., General Mills, Walmart, Target, and Ben & Jerry’s.
The article is headlined: “Alone and Exploited, Migrant Children Work Brutal Jobs Across the U.S.”
The article may crack the bipartisan establishment’s shameful silence about its wealth-shifting policy of extracting teenagers — and millions of foreign migrants — to replace sidelined U.S. workers .
The report by Hannah Dreier admits:
These workers are part of a new economy of exploitation: Migrant children, who have been coming into the United States without their parents in record numbers, are ending up in some of the most punishing jobs in the country, a New York Times investigation found. This shadow work force extends across industries in every state, flouting child labor laws that have been in place for nearly a century. Twelve-year-old roofers in Florida and Tennessee. Underage slaughterhouse workers in Delaware, Mississippi and North Carolina. Children sawing planks of wood on overnight shifts in South Dakota.
In November 2020, Dreier posted an excellent report on child workers for ProPublica.org.
The expanding population of child workers has been an open secret in Washington D.C. for several years. Breitbart News has extensively covered the official support and media tolerance for this child labor force.
The silence is ensured by Democrats’ claim they are merely protecting “unaccompanied” children in a “Nation of Immigrants.” But that claim is entwined with Democratic donors’ demands for more immigrant workers, renters, and consumers.

Biden’s progressive deputies have admitted roughly 320,000 migrant children since January 2021. “About two-thirds of all unaccompanied migrant children ended up working full time,” the newspaper reported.
GOP legislators also are silent about the scandal, even though the Democrat-backed child abuse is far larger and more deliberate than Trump’s supposed “separation” policies of 2018 and 2019. GOP leaders forego the political opportunity likely because they do not want to antagonize their local donors by ever mentioning the economic purposes of the government’s migration laws.
The youth labor trafficking pipeline was largely stopped in 2020 by former President Donald Trump amid loud opposition from Democrats and immigration reporters.
The article by the New York Times , however, is likely to crack the establishment silence about the massive scale of child exploitation.
Unsurprisingly, the newspaper soft-pedals the complicity of Democrats and migration advocates in this human rights scandal.
For example, the newspaper minimizes any mention of the two architects of the child labor force — Biden and his pro-migration border chief, Alejandro Mayorkas.

So the newspaper offered a no-name, passive-voice description of how the problem grew after the Democratic Party’s investor-and-progressive coalition pushed President Donald Trump out of the White House:
This labor force has been slowly growing for almost a decade, but it has exploded since 2021, while the systems meant to protect children have broken down.
…
While H.H.S. checks on all minors by calling them a month after they begin living with their sponsors, data obtained by The Times showed that over the last two years, the agency could not reach more than 85,000 children. Overall, the agency lost immediate contact with a third of migrant children.
Instead, the newspaper drops the blame on Xavier Becerra, secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, which is supposed to protect child migrants. “Staff members said in interviews that Mr. Becerra continued to push for faster results, often asking why they could not discharge children with machine-like efficiency,” the newspaper reported.
Many of the teenagers are being released by Biden’s deputies to recognized labor traffickers — not to friendly relatives, the newspaper says. The traffickers force the teenagers to work long hours at low wages and also take debt payments from the children before they can send cash back to their poor families.
The newspaper’s focus on Becerra may divert media attention from Mayorkas, who faces impeachment by GOP members in the House.

Extraction Migration
The federal government has long operated an economic policy of “Extraction Migration.” The policy extracts vast amounts of human resources from needy countries and uses the imported workers, renters, and consumers to grow Wall Street and the economy.
The migrant inflow has successfully forced down Americans’ wages and also boosted rents and housing prices . The inflow has also pushed many native-born Americans out of careers in a wide variety of business sectors, reduced native-born Americans’ political clout , and contributed to the rising death rate of poor Americans.
The policy also sucks jobs and wealth from heartland states by subsidizing coastal investors with a flood of low-wage workers, high-occupancy renters, and government-aided consumers.
The colonization-like policy has also killed many thousands of unrecognized migrants, including many on the taxpayer-funded jungle trail through the Darien Gap in Panama.
