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."
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 non-profit 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 non-profit 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. ““Now we have to work from ground zero. We just lost that trust [with the vets].”
Republican State Assemblyman Brian Maher told the newspaper, “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.”
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.”

EXCLUSIVE: 31K Migrants Apprehended at Border in 72 Hours, 7.3K Got-Aways
Border Patrol agents apprehended nearly 31,000 migrants during the past 72 hours as the end of the CDC’s Title 42 approaches at midnight on May 11. In addition, another 7,300 migrants are known to have gotten away without being apprehended at the border.
During the past three days, Border Patrol agents in the nine southwest border sectors apprehended approximately 30,746 migrants who crossed the border between ports of entry, according to a law enforcement source speaking off the record. On Wednesday alone, agents apprehended more than 10,600 migrants. This is believed to be a new single-day apprehension record.
In addition to the nearly 31,000 migrant apprehensions, officials report that more than 7,330 migrants are classified as known got-aways. Known got-aways are a Border Patrol estimate of the number of migrants believed to have crossed the border without being apprehended. The number of got-aways increased from 2,307 on May 8 to 2,614 on May 10.
Combining the apprehended migrants and known got-aways brings the three-day total of known border crossers to more than 38,000 migrants — nearly 12,700 per day.
The Rio Grande Valley Sector remains the epicenter of the current migrant crisis. Of the nearly 31,000 migrants apprehended during the three-day period, more than 9,000 crossed into the extreme South Texas sector.
The Del Rio (5,279), Tucson (5066), and El Paso (4789) Sectors remain the next busiest sectors.
Breitbart Texas’ Randy Clark, a retired 32-year veteran Border Patrol supervisor, laid the blame for the growing pre-Title-42 end at the feet of the Biden administration and specifically, DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. In an editorial on the eve of the end of Title 42, Clark wrote:
The truth of the matter lies with what migrants are experiencing after recent border crossings. In today’s world of technology, migrants are equal beneficiaries of the ability to quickly communicate with smartphones. Using communication apps such as WhatsApp and others, migrants immediately alert others to the scale of the Biden administration’s use of “Catch and Release.” From there, the rush to the border grows.
The Biden plan to deal with the migrants crossing post-Title 42 is to increase the use of the Title 8 expedited removal authority. Clark compared the use of Title 8 versus Title 42 in respect to border-agent processing time.
The increase in processing times under traditional Title 8 immigration authority, compared to Title 42, is significant and will cripple DHS’s ability to detain and process migrants without significant augmentation to detention capabilities. Under the CDC’s Title 42 expulsion authority, migrants are not allowed to present a claim for asylum. A Border Patrol agent can fully process a migrant under the authority in approximately 10 to 15 minutes.
In stark contrast, processing under Title 8 authority takes an average Border Patrol agent more than one hour without any complicating factors. Factors that slow the process include the need to utilize translation services for migrants who do not speak Spanish. That slows the process of obtaining biographical data and the requirement to explain intricate legal options to each migrant.
…
DHS also placed a limitation on the use of the expedited removal expansion, limiting the effectiveness of the option further. The process will not be applied to family unit migrants with children or unaccompanied migrants.
In response to the rapidly rising number of migrant apprehensions ahead of the end of Title 42, Texas Governor Greg Abbott ordered the deployment of a 545-soldier Tactical Border Force to supplement the approximately 10,000 Texas Nation Guard soldiers and airmen already deployed under Operation Lone Star, Breitbart Texas reported.
“Biden sent 1,500 troops to the border to do paperwork,” the governor tweeted. “I deployed elite trained soldiers to defend Texas.”
The governor also stepped up the program of busing migrants from the Texas border region to Democrat-run sanctuary cities.
Officials with the Office of the Texas Governor told Breitbart Texas on Tuesday that the State of Texas is stepping up the busing of migrants from the border region to sanctuary cities in response to the most recent migrant surge. Three buses left Texas this week heading to Chicago, New York City, and Philadelphia, officials stated.
The first bus arrived in Chicago on Tuesday morning, a source told Breitbart. Buses to New York City and Philadelphia remain en route.

Texas Governor Sends More Migrant-Filled Buses from Border to Sanctuary Cities
As the border crisis grows, Governor Greg Abbott ordered an increase in the busing of migrants from the Texas border region to the sanctuary cities of Chicago, New York City, and Philadelphia. The first bus of about 50 migrants arrived in Chicago late Tuesday morning after a journey from Laredo, Texas.

Migrant Surge Grows to 11K Apprehensions/Got-Aways Per Day for Last 3 Days, Says Border Chief
U.S. Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz tweeted on Monday that 26,382 migrants crossed the border between ports of entry during the past three days. An additional 7,399 crossed and managed to avoid apprehension.
Chief Ortiz’s tweet reports that approximately 11,260 migrants are known to have crossed the border per day during the past 72 hours. Of those, agents took 26,382 into custody (8,794 per day) while another 7,399 (2,466 per day) are classified as known got-aways.
Over the weekend, the chief tweeted a seven-day report showing the apprehension of 54,951 migrants (7,850 per day) and 18,698 got-aways (2,671 per day). This averages just over 10,521 known border crossers per day.
On May 1, just one week ago, Ortiz tweeted that agents apprehended 22,220 migrants during the previous 72 hours. This equates to 3,174 apprehensions per day. He did not show the number of got-aways in this report.
During the past ten days, the number of migrant apprehensions per day increased by nearly 177 percent from 3,174 per day to 8,794 per day.
These numbers do not include migrants who crossed but who were not detected or apprehended by Border Patrol.
The number of migrant crossings per day continues to rise as the end of Title 42 nears. In response to the surge, Texas Governor Greg Abbott ordered the deployment of a 545-soldier Tactical Border Force to supplement the approximately 10,000 Texas Nation Guard soldiers and airmen already deployed under Operation Lone Star, Breitbart Texas reported.
“Biden sent 1,500 troops to the border to do paperwork,” the governor tweeted. “I deployed elite trained soldiers to defend Texas.”

“Governor Abbott launched the border bus mission in April 2022 to provide support to our overrun and overwhelmed border communities as the Biden Administration dumps thousands of migrants in their towns,” Andrew Mahaleris, press secretary for Governor Abbott said in response to an inquiry from Breitbart Texas. “Texas has since bused over 17,300 migrants to self-declared sanctuary cities Washington, D.C., New York, Chicago, and Philadelphia, providing much-needed relief.”
“When President Biden ends Title 42 in two days, by the Biden Administration’s own admission, there could be as many as 13,000 illegal immigrants a day crossing the border,” Mahaleris added. “Until President Biden steps up and does his job, Texas will continue busing migrants to sanctuary cities to provide relief to our overwhelmed border towns.”
The predicted rate of apprehensions is about to become reality as on Monday, Border Patrol agents, for the first time, apprehended more than 10,000 migrants in a single day, Breitbart Texas reported. This is up from 8,684 on Sunday. Of the Sunday apprehensions, agents in the five Texas-based sectors apprehend more than 5,100 migrants who crossed the border from Mexico, according to a law enforcement source. This represents nearly 60 percent of the nearly 8,700 who crossed the entire southwest border with Mexico.
The governor’s office supplied the following data for the number of migrants delivered to Chicago, New York City, Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C. since the program began in April 2022:
- Washington, D.C.: more than 9,100 migrants on over 200 buses
- New York City: more than 5,700 migrants on over 115 buses
- Chicago: more than 1,600 migrants on over 30 buses
- Philadelphia: more than 920 migrants on over 15 buses
In addition to the resumption of migrant busing to sanctuary cities, Governor Abbott also ordered the deployment of a newly created Texas Tactical Border Force made up of 545 members of the Texas National Guard.
“These additional forces will bolster the thousands of Texas National Guard service members already assisting local and state law enforcement agencies to secure the border; stop the smuggling of drugs, weapons, and people into Texas; and prevent, detect, and interdict transnational criminal behavior between the ports of entry,” Texas Military Department officials said in a written statement.
“Biden sent 1,500 troops to the border to do paperwork,” Governor Abbott tweeted. “I deployed elite trained soldiers to defend Texas.”

ICE: Jailed ‘Wife’ of East Texas 5x Murder Suspect Also a Deported Migrant
COLDSPRING, Texas — The “wife” of the four-time deported Mexican national accused of murdering five Honduran migrants in their home is also an immigration fugitive, according to federal immigration officials. The woman, now in the Montgomery County, Texas, jail on felony charges of helping accused murderer Francisco Oropesa evade arrest, is herself an immigration fugitive after being ordered removed from the U.S. for a second time.
Responding to an inquiry from Breitbart Texas, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) officials reported they placed an immigration detainer on 52-year-old Divimara Lamar Nava, an unlawfully present Mexican national. Officials say Nava was removed from the U.S. by ERO officers after an immigration judge ordered her removal on December 29, 2009.
Sometime after her deportation, Nava illegally re-entered the U.S. at an unknown location, officials stated. Members of an ICE ERO Houston fugitive operations team encountered Nava again at a residence in Conroe, Texas, on September 25. Officials reinstated her previous order of removal.
Nava was allowed “for humanitarian reasons” to report later to an ICE facility for an order of supervision prior to being removed to Mexico. “Nava absconded from immigration authorities before she could be removed and has remained an immigration fugitive until she was encountered at the Montgomery County Jail on May 3, 2023,” officials stated.
This is the day that a law enforcement team consisting of Border Patrol BORTAC agents, U.S. Marshal Service deputies, and Texas DPS CID agents raided a home in Cut & Shoot, Texas, and arrested murder suspect Francisco Oropesa, as reported by Breitbart Texas.
In an interview with Breitbart Texas, San Jacinto County District Attorney Todd Dillon said Nava was present at the scene as the team arrested Oropesa. While the couple is not legally married, Oropesa reportedly refers to Nava as his wife.
“Ms. Nava was on the scene (of the murders of five Hondurans including a young child) when we first saw her,” Dillon stated. “The evidence we have so far in the investigation is that she probably wasn’t assisting him int he early hours of this (incident).
When the law enforcement team caught up with Oropesa four days later, “Ms. Nava was there,” Dillion said. “It’s suggesting at this point that her acts that she committed were actually within the jurisdiction of Montgomery County (Texas).”
He said that if information comes out that she assisted his movement out of San Jacinto County she could face additional charges.
Montgomery County jail records obtained by Breitbart Texas indicate Nava is facing a felony charge of Hindering Apprehension/Prosecution of a Known Felon. She is being held on a $250,000 bond. In addition, the immigration detainer placed by ICE would keep her in jail if she were to raise the bond fee.
ICE officials previously confirmed to Breitbart Texas that the man charged with the murders of the five Honduran migrants living next door to his house in Cleveland, Texas, is also a previously deported Mexican national with a criminal history in Texas.
Officials report that an immigration judge first ordered Francisco Oropeza Perez-Torres, 38, to be removed from the United States on March 19, 2009. ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations officers deported the migrant to Mexico later that month.
Subsequent to this, Oropeza illegally re-entered the U.S. and was removed, once again, in September 2009. He was removed two more times in January 2012 and July 2016.
In January 2012, a Texas court in Montgomery County (which neighbors San Jacinto County where the alleged murders took place) convicted the Mexican national of driving while intoxicated. The court sentenced him to an unreported period of incarceration.
