Washington Post Editors Deny Border Surge
The editors of Jeff Bezos’ Washington Post are claiming the White House has gotten southern migration under control, with a wide front-page headline saying “At the border, a reset but no surge.”
The May 13, editor-placed, five-column headline hides the reality of President Joe Biden’s surge of 83,000 migrants in one week — and it also distracts readers from Biden’s radical decision to ignore Congress while his deputies extract millions of consumers, renters, and workers from poor foreign countries for resettlement in Americans’ neighborhoods, schools, and workplaces.
The headline also distracts from the unpopularity of Biden’s radical policy: A May 5-7 poll of 1,022 by Ipsos showed that only four percent — one in 25 — of Americans strongly approve of Biden’s immigration policy. The policy is strongly opposed by one-in-four Americans, or 38 percent — even though the national media plays down the scale and the migration strategy that aids Fortune 500 investors, such as Bezos and his Amazon firm.
Only 16 percent of respondents “strongly” and “somewhat” approve of Biden’s policy, while 46 percent “strongly” or “somewhat “oppose. But business groups — including Amazon — are eager for the flood of wage-cutting, revenue-boosting migrants.
The Washington Post front page on Saturday, May 13, 2023.
The Washington Post article began:
MATAMOROS, Mexico — The new border regulations that took effect early Friday brought a sudden pause to the chaotic rush of migrants hurling themselves into the Rio Grande in recent days to reach the United States.
The article minimized the scale of Biden’s migration, which has admitted 83,000 migrants in the last week, and more than four million economic migrants since January 1. That is roughly one migrant for every two American births during the two years.
But the reporters provided a more accurate picture in the ninth paragraph of the scene at just one of many border crossings:
The pent-up frustration of many who risked everything to reach the U.S. border — spending their savings to pay “coyotes,” or smugglers, for journeys of thousands of miles, trekking through dangerous jungles — made it clear that the problem was far from over. Elsewhere in Matamoros, hundreds of migrants, mostly from Mexico and Haiti, lined up at the official border crossing into Brownsville on Friday afternoon to seek asylum.
…
Many of the migrants in Matamoros who hadn’t crossed before Title 42 lifted said they were unsure what they would do next. The flow of new arrivals didn’t let up.
Genesis Cardenas, 30, sat on a curb near the tightly guarded international bridge early Friday, holding her squirming 10-month-old daughter, Susej Paredes, whose name spells “Jesus” backward. The Venezuelan woman and her husband left Peru on April 18, hoping to reach the U.S. border before the Title 42 policy expired. But they got delayed and arrived by bus Friday morning from Mexico City.
The reporters also note that a federal judge barred Biden’s officials from releasing migrants via the parole side door at the border.
“It is going to take a little while for us to know how they’re applying this new asylum rule,” said Mark Krikorian, director of the Center for Immigration Studies.
Supposedly it’s super tough. And I think a lot of the [migrant] aliens are kind of figuring, “Jeez, if it’s so tough, let’s wait and see how you know how tough it really is.”
The fact is, the exceptions in [the rule] swallow the whole rule. But, you know, it’s not impossible, that they’ll actually be a little tougher than we think. I don’t think so — and I don’t think they can sustain that politically or even just psychologically.
I don’t think they can sustain that because you have to actually believe in what you’re doing to enforce the law every day, even when there are pathetic pictures of kids reaching through the fence to charge their parents’ cell phone … they’re reaching through like, like, I mean, like kids in a cage, you know? There’s no way this administration can resist that and can stay the course, even if they want to undertake the course.
The only legal barrier to being released into the United States is the “Credible Fear” test that migrants face at the border, he said.
The test interview is intended to reveal if migrants have a plausible claim of government oppression. If the examiner accepts their story, they are released into the United States to ask for asylum. The interviewer is required to exclude economic migrants who want jobs and to exclude migrants who claim to face criminal threats.
The release is 90 percent of the game for poor migrants because it gives them several years of U.S. residency to work in jobs, pay off smuggling debts, and bring their families and kids up to join them.
The release also lets them hire lawyers to delay, postpone, suspend, and defer their deportation in the expectation that business groups and Democrats will push an amnesty through Congress or the border agency.
“This administration is not going to be interpreting the credible fear standard in such a way as to turn away most [migrant] people,” said Krikorian. “They have been approving, like 80 percent of people – maybe they’ll go down to 75 percent [but] I’m not sure that really makes much difference,” he added.
The Credible Fear interview is conducted by left-wing officials, including former social workers and political activists, who want the migrants to get into the United States, he said. “That’s why they go into that line of work.”
However, the U.S. Supreme Court may soon force officials to obey the law, which requires them to detain all migrants until their asylum claims are decided. If so, illegal migration will drop because migrants will not be able to pay off their smuggling debts.
Extraction Migration
The federal government has long operated an unpopular economic policy of Extraction Migration. This colonialism-like policy extracts vast amounts of human resources from needy countries, reduces beneficial trade, 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 and contributed to the rising death rate of poor Americans.
The lethal 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 population inflow also reduces the political clout of native-born Americans, because the population replacement allows elites to divorce themselves from the needs and interests of ordinary Americans.
Migration — and especially, labor migration — is unpopular among swing voters. A 54 percent majority of Americans say Biden is allowing a southern border invasion, according to an August 2022 poll commissioned by the left-of-center National Public Radio (NPR). The 54 percent “Invasion” majority included 76 percent of Republicans, 46 percent of independents, and even 40 percent of Democrats.
Migrants with Dubious Asylum Claims Enjoy Massive Court Backlogs as DHS Schedules Hearings 4 to 10 Years Out
Migrants released into the United States with dubious asylum claims will enjoy a massive backlog in the nation’s immigration court system as the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) schedules hearings as far out as a decade from now.
This week, President Joe Biden ended the Title 42 public health authority that was used for more than three years at the U.S.-Mexico border to remove close to three million illegal aliens and send them back to their native countries.
As a result, Biden’s DHS has implemented an expansive Catch and Release network that includes releasing border crossers into the U.S. interior with Notices to Appear (NTAs) in federal immigration court.
In some cases, as independent journalist Tayler Hansen reported, migrants are being given NTAs to appear before an immigration judge in 2026 and 2027:
In addition to issuing border crossers NTAs, the Biden administration had also issued Notices to Report (NTRs) for months — paperwork that effectively asks migrants to report, eventually, to a local Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) office and then to receive a court date.
DHS documents, reviewed by Breitbart News, show that as of February, migrants with NTRs have been given scheduled immigration hearings as far out as a decade from today. In New York, for instance, many border crossers will not have to go before an immigration judge until October 2032.
In other cities, like Jacksonville, Florida, and Miramar, Florida, migrants will not go before an immigration judge until 2028, and in Atlanta, Georgia, and San Antonio, Texas, migrants will not have their asylum cases heard until 2027.
The backlog is important for border crossers who file bogus asylum claims, as they can remain in the U.S. for years – in some cases, a decade – before ever having to face an immigration judge.
A fraction of border crossers released into the U.S. end up securing asylum. Take Biden’s “Dedicated Dockets” program, meant to fast-track the asylum process for migrants. Data published last year found that just one percent of border crossers in the program had valid claims for asylum to remain in the U.S.

HAVE YOU EVER HEARD JOE BIDEN EXPRESS CONCERN FOR HOMLESS AMERICA? AND YOU NEVER WILL!!!
NY Hotels Boot Homeless Veterans to Shelter Released Migrants
Upstate New York hotels began kicking homeless veterans from their properties to make room for migrants being bused to the region from New York City. The homeless veterans, many Vietnam-era veterans, were receiving temporary shelter in the hotels through the efforts of a nonprofit agency.
The New York Post reports that nearly two dozen homeless veterans “have been booted from the upstate hotels to make room for migrants.” One of the hotels told a 24-year-old Afghanistan war veteran their temporary housing was being pulled out from under them and they would have to move somewhere else.
Sharon Toney-Finch, CEO of the Yerik Israel Toney Foundation, told the New York Post, “Our veterans have been placed in another hotel due to what’s going on with the immigrants.”
Toney-Finch said they moved the veterans from the Crossroads Hotel in Newburgh, New York, to other nearby motels and hotels. The properties were located about 20 minutes from where they were displaced.
Orange County, New York, is now the target of a migrant busing campaign by New York City Mayor Eric Adams. The mayor is moving the migrants out of his sanctuary city to Upstate New York to relieve migrant overcrowding in his city.

The veterans had been placed in the first hotel under a four-week temporary housing program while the nonprofit agency attempted to find another solution for their housing needs. The veterans were about two weeks into the program “when they got the boot,” Toony-Finch stated.
“A lot of them are Vietnam veterans. We do help them on a constant basis to get them benefits and help them find a place in society,” she explained, adding, “Now we have to work from ground zero. We just lost that trust [with the vets].”
Republican New York State Assemblyman Brian Maher told the Post, “Shining a light on this is important because we need to make sure these hotels know how important it is to respect the service of our veterans before they kick [them] out of hotels to make room.”
New York Democrat Congressman Pat Ryan, whose 18th congressional district covers the northern suburbs and exurbs of New York City, took to social media to condemn the “incompetence” of city officials in displacing the homeless veterans.
New York Republican Congressman Marc Molinaro also took to social media to denounce the “absolutely inexcusable” treatment of the homeless veterans, which he described as “the result of incompetence and lack of compassion.”
Tooney-Finch said the hotel made the move to expel the veterans based on money. “They get paid more [for the migrants],” she stated. “That’s so unfair, because at the end of the day, we are a small nonprofit, and we do pay $88 a day for a veteran to be there.”
It is not clear what the city is paying for the housing of the bused migrants from New York City.

‘Border Czar’ Kamala Harris Kicks Off Lifting of Title 42 with Democrat ‘Soiree’
Vice President Kamala Harris kicks off her administration’s lifting of Title 42 by headlining the Democrat Party of Georgia’s “Spring Soiree” fundraiser on Friday.
Harris, named border czar by President Joe Biden in 2021, is scheduled to attend the “Spring Soiree” on Friday in Atlanta and the private fundraiser hosted by the Democrat National Committee (DNC). The events mark the beginning of their Biden-Harris campaign push to raise as much money as possible for the 2024 election cycle.
She will be attending the fundraisers instead of visiting the U.S.-Mexico border in her capacity as border czar, where 400,000 border crossers and illegal aliens are expected to come to the southern border every month, as the Biden administration puts an end to Title 42.
Title 42 was a federal public health authority that aimed to control the border, which expired at 11:59 p.m. Thursday. The House Republicans passed legislation, H.R.2, on Thursday to codify some of former President Trump’s strictest border policies. But, the legislation still has to get through the Senate, and the White House has promised President Joe Biden will veto it.
Breitbart News’s John Binder noted in an explainer article about what happens when the Trump-era rules end that there will likely be roughly 400,000 border crossers and illegal aliens coming to the southern border every month, which exceeds the populations of some cities.
The New York Post reported that the vice president’s office was reluctant to share any specific plans she has to address the border crisis in the coming days. But, a White House official defended Harris’s engagement in plans.
[Harris] has been engaged and regularly briefed on preparations for the end of public health emergency measures — including Title 42 — while continuing to make progress addressing the root causes of migration from Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador.
Since Biden announced Harris would be the “Border Czar” in March 2021, Republicans have increasingly criticized her for her lack of effort and being hesitant to visit the border.

WE WOULD HAVE NO HOUSING, HOMELESS OR JOBES CRISIS IF WE DIDN'T HAVE 50 MILLION ILLEGALS PERMITTED IN TO KEEP WAGES DEPRESSED.
Black Chicago Residents Sue City Officials over Accepting Illegal Immigrants
A movement of ordinary Chicago citizens filed a lawsuit to stop the city government from placing 500 migrants in a southside neighborhood school.
The May 10 lawsuit says:
The [city government’s] proposed action appears to disregard the zoning laws that are in place to safeguard the South Shore community. The failure to comply with these laws poses a significant threat to the rights and interests of the residents.
Citizens backed up their lawsuit with a Thursday press conference that was contained by extensive police roadblocks that minimized attendance:
The school battle comes as the federal government’s huge inflow of immigrant voters is pushing black Americans to the sidelines of the economy and politics. The post-1986 inflow has already replaced black Americans in Los Angeles and New York — and is now helping to push them out of valuable real estate in the south side of Chicago.
“Having over 500 [migrant] people in our community will completely wipe out any interest we have,” local activist Jimmy Darnell Jones said at a press conference to spotlight the legislation, adding:
Are you aware that there are immigrant advocates at state houses all over this country who are advocating for non-citizen voting in local elections? What if that happened here? That would change the mindset of what we, as a black community need to thrive here in Chicago. That’s a concern of ours.
This is much bigger than the Mayor of Chicago or the Chicago Police Department. This is an effort to destroy our neighborhoods and silence our voices even further.
“I was placed on a waitlist [for city housing], but I was told that the immigrants were taking priority,” said one speaker:
That’s the story that a lot of people don’t know and it hurt me. I’m like, “Oh wait a minute, I understand we need to be humanitarian,” but these people [at the demonstration] are third and fourth-generation Chicagoans, born, bred, fed, and raised here. My grandmother… always said “Chris, charity starts at home first, and then it goes abroad.”
The protesters are part of a local non-partisan neighborhood movement that has emerged from underneath the pro-migration Democrat Party. The movement filled an auditorium on May 4 to protest the city government’s funding for migrants.
“We’re fighting for our equity — [and] we’re using their own words against them,” activist Brian Mullins told Breitbart News.
We want our equity out of Chicago resources. Chicago has a $60 billion budget. We want 30 percent of that budget to be put in services and employment of our specific community.
City officials are favoring the fast-growing immigrant community, said Mullins, who emphasized his identity as a non-immigrant “Foundational Black American”:
We see how employment in hiring positions — as well as the overall change in City Hall — is favoring the Latino population. Our governor, J.B. Pritzker, has even made the head of the Democratic Party a Hispanic woman when it has historically [run by black Americans] for the last two years. Now we have a Hispanic woman as the head of the Illinois Democratic Party.
We are 30 percent of the population, and [vote] 96 percent for Democrats … [but] we’re not getting an exchange for our vote. We’re now trying to get black people to understand the vote is in exchange for resources, not just some arbitrary thing. Thirty years too late, but that’s where we start now.
“We believe the Democratic Party will pay more attention to our demands” if more black Americans are ready to vote against Democrats, he said. “So if you shift 10 percent… it could literally shift elections.”
Turnout at the protest was forced down by city officials who imposed a large police blockade around the protest site, he added: “They did block off every street in about a mile area to limit our current press conference yesterday… [People] couldn’t park in that area, so they had to walk.”
Nationwide, state and local governments, as well as influential business groups, are welcoming migrants into districts where black Americans have significant political and economic clout. The resulting displacement of black Americans is reducing their ability to get well-paid jobs or afford rising rents.
On May 10, Breitbart News asked President Joe Biden’s border chief: “How do Americans gain from the immigration paths you are opening, sir? … Do Americans gain from all the immigrants you’re bringing into this country?”
“Sir, we are a nation of immigrants,” evaded Alejandro Mayorkas.
C-SPAN
A day later, Mayorkas urged legal changes to allow U.S. employers to import more foreign workers instead of being forced to compete for American workers:
There are businesses around this country that are desperate for workers, there are … desperate workers in foreign countries that are looking for jobs in the United States, where they can earn money lawfully and send much-needed remittances back home.
The migration pressure also forces black Americans out of the high-value real estate in Chicago, New York, and Los Angeles, and pressures them to return to the lower-wage southern states that their great-grandparents fled in the 1930s and 1940s.
The government-imposed demographic pressure is spiking black Americans’ opposition to migration.
A May 5-7 poll by Ipsos showed that only 4 percent of Americans strongly approve of President Joe Biden’s immigration policy, while 38 percent strongly oppose the policy.
A May 6-9 poll by The Economist and YouGov showed that 31 percent of black Americans say immigration has made the United States “worse off.” Just 20 percent say the policy has made the United States “better off.”
Forty-one percent of black Americans said U.S. border agents should be allowed “to deport migrants without court hearings.” Thirty-one percent disagreed. Among white Americans, 57 percent supported easier deportations, while just 27 percent opposed.
Among all Americans, the YouGov poll showed that a 35 percent plurality believe migration has made the nation “worse off.” Just 31 percent say migration has made the United States “better off.”
In March 2022, Rasmussen Reports aggregated many monthly polls to show that black voters strongly oppose the Democrats’ policy of chain migration, which is helping to cut Americans’ wages and raise their rents. The surveys included 3,130 black Americans and showed that 57 percent opposed chain migration.
“Every time immigrants come into our country, we get stamped into the quicksand harder,” Mullins said. “We stay at the bottom and we’re just saying, ‘Get off of us, let us breathe… stop putting other people’s needs in front of us.'”
Extraction Migration
The federal government has long operated an unpopular economic policy of extraction migration. This colonialism-like policy extracts vast amounts of human resources from needy countries, reduces beneficial trade, and uses the imported workers, renters, and consumers to grow Wall Street and the economy.
The population inflow also reduces the political clout of native-born Americans, as elites divorce themselves from their needs and interests.
As NYC Tries To Bus Migrants Out, Texas Set to Bus More In
As New York City is trying to move illegal migrants into the suburbs, Democrats in El Paso, Texas, plan to bus more migrants to the city.
El Paso has set up transportation to send more migrants to New York City, Democratic mayor Oscar Leeser said Wednesday. Buses won’t leave until more migrants arrive. "We do have the transportation set up, but we have not activated transportation," El Paso deputy city manager Mario D’Agostino said. Tens of thousands of migrants are expected to enter the United States after Title 42 ends Thursday night. Officials warned last week that 700,000 migrants were waiting in Mexico for the lapse of the border policy, which allows border agents to turn migrants away.
Migrants will be processed and released into cities at bus stops, gas stations, and other places across the border. Local leaders, including in El Paso, have dealt with the surge of migrants in the past by shipping them to cities such as New York, Chicago, and Washington, D.C.
Busloads of migrants sent to New York City in recent months have pushed the city to its limits. Mayor Eric Adams (D.) on Friday announced a plan to bus hundreds of migrants to New York's suburbs, angering local leaders. The city planned to house about 300 men in hotels in Rockland and Orange Counties, but furious officials in both counties vowed to fight any effort to flood their communities with migrants.
Adams announced the busing plans after he criticized Texas governor Greg Abbott (R.) last week for "deciding to play politics with people's lives" by busing migrants to his city, which calls itself a "sanctuary city" for migrants.
"Yes, New York City will remain a sanctuary city under an Adams administration," Adams tweeted in October 2021. He said in January that his city has "no room" for migrants.
Leeser said he plans to send migrants to New York to give them access to the "American dream."
"It’s not because we want them to go there," Leeser said. "It’s not because someone has pushed them there. They want to live that American dream and be able to go through the legal process and work there."

Democrat Congressman Pat Ryan put a stronger point on the action to boot the veterans, according to an article in the Mid-Hudson News. “This is bullshit,” he said. “20 veterans lost their housing tonight because of incompetence by New York City government. I am doing everything I can to ensure these service members have a bed to sleep in tonight. Let me be clear. This will not be tolerated.”
Republican Congressman Marc Molinaro agreed. “This is absolutely inexcusable and should not be happening in America. This is the result of incompetence and a lack of compassion. This won’t be tolerated.”
Tooney-Finch said the hotel made the move to expel the veterans over money. “They get paid more [for the migrants,” she stated. “That’s so unfair, because at the end of the day, we are a small nonprofit, and we do pay $88 a day for a veteran to be there.” It is not clear what the city is paying for the housing of the bused migrants from New York City.

Video Shows Biden Admin Dumping Migrants on Texas Border City Streets
BROWNSVILLE, Texas — Federal authorities under the Biden administration released hundreds of migrants onto the streets of Brownsville, Texas, with notices to appear in court for future hearings. While government officials claim to be taking a hard line on asylum seekers, for the migrants being released, the journey is seen as a success.
Breitbart Texas watched as approximately every 30 minutes white unmarked buses would pull up and drop off dozens of migrants at the Brownsville bus station. From there, the migrants were released and moved along to purchase tickets to travel to their final destination.
As the buses pulled up, migrants already at the bus station would make their way toward the bus to see if their relatives were inside.
The release of the migrants comes just hours before the Biden administration will end Title 42 removals — a move that is expected to cause a spike in irregular migration as thousands of migrants continue to make their way north through Mexico.
In just the past three days, Border Patrol agents in the Rio Grande Valley Sector apprehended more than 9,000 migrants in the past three days, Breitbart Texas reported on Thursday. Nearly 3,000 were apprehended on Wednesday alone. These contributed to the nearly 31,000 migrants apprehended along the entire southwest border during the three-day period ending Wednesday.
Earlier this week, Texas Governor Greg Abbott deployed an additional 545 members of a Texas National Guard “Tactical Border Force” in response to the renewed migrant surge along the Texas border with Mexico.
“Biden sent 1,500 troops to the border to do paperwork,” Abbott tweeted. “I deployed elite trained soldiers to defend Texas.”
