Texas Department of Public Safety troopers rescued two young migrant children who had been abandoned in a brushy area by human smugglers along the Rio Grande border with Mexico. The children, who are four and seven years old, only had a sheet of paper with a contact number for two relatives in Alabama.
The incident occurred this week near Eagle Pass, Texas, where human smugglers had left a four-year-old boy and his seven-year-old sister near the Rio Grande. According to information released by the Texas Department of Public Safety, the two children were from Chiapas, Mexico. In a 24-hour span, troopers deployed under Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s Operation Lone Star found two more abandoned children near Eagle Pass, one of the busiest human smuggling corridors into Texas, despite the life-endangering heat wave experienced during the past month.
Due to the lack of physical barriers at the border and the complicity of Mexican authorities, human smugglers have turned the state of Coahuila into one of the top routes for moving migrants and “asylum seekers” into Texas. Since the start of the year, there have been close to 100 fatalities on both sides of the border, Breitbart Texas reported .

LOS ANGELES, California — Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. launched a short documentary film on Thursday about his trip to the southern U.S. border last month, highlighting an issue few other Democrats have dared to touch.
As Breitbart News reported at the time, Kennedy visited the border near Yuma, Arizona, at the dead of night, arriving without fanfare so that the scene would not be sanitized in preparation for his visit. A guide informed him that he and Sen. Mark Kelley (D-AZ) were the only two Democrats who had visited the border to see firsthand what is going on under the Biden administration.
The documentary, a 19-minute film, was released at the Saban Theatre in Beverly Hills before an audience of several hundred local supporters of the Kennedy campaign, along with members of the media.
The film shows Kennedy meeting, and speaking with, migrants from all over the world, including Africa and Asia — only one of whom was seeking asylum. The rest, he said, were economic migrants seeking a better life for themselves and their families.
Kennedy, who is fluent in Spanish, is shown speaking to migrants from Spanish-speaking countries — though there are many migrants from other parts of the world as well. He hears, firsthand, their stories of distress and dislocation along their journey.
He also tours gaps in the border wall (or fence) that were left behind when President Joe Biden dropped former President Donald Trump’s program to build a physical barrier, along with patrol roads and electronic sensors, to stop the flow of illegal migrants.
Kennedy is also shown learning about sexual assaults committed against women and children on the journey to the border, including both girls and boys.
He says at the conclusion of the documentary that he has learned that the current U.S. border policy is just a way of funding “a multibillion-dollar drug and human trafficking operation” to benefit the Mexican cartels. He promises, if elected, to seal the border, while allowing pathways to legal immigration.
Former TV news anchor Bob Jimenez, who accompanied Kennedy to the border, introduced the documentary. He said that it exposed “the lie that has been told to us” about the border, and about what happens to the immigrants “who are in harm’s way, all the way,” while the cartels get “richer and fatter every year” because “our southern border in open.”
The documentary was produced internally by the Kennedy campaign.
In remarks following the film, Kennedy declared, to applause, that “a country cannot exist if it can’t secure its borders.” He said that unlike other candidates who had approached the issue with “xenophobia,” he would do so through “compassion.”
He framed the issue not as one of immigrants’ rights — which he respected — but as the self-enrichment of the cartels.
Kennedy confessed to having had a change of heart on the issue, after learning more about the border.
“I was against Trump’s wall. I thought it was a crazy idea,” Kennedy admitted.
He said he still believed that the U.S. did not need a wall along the entire border — “the 2000 miles from Brownsville to San Diego” — partly because of natural barriers.
“But we do need something.”
He said that he would use a physical barrier for part of the border, and restore electronic surveillance of the boundary where it had been abandoned. He added that the U.S. had to work more effectively with Latin American countries to stop the migration.

Washington, D.C. (August 3, 2023) – Permissive legal and illegal immigration policies have been shown to hurt the working class in America the most.
Follow Parsing Immigration Policy on Ricochet , Apple Podcasts , Amazon Music , Spotify , Stitcher , Google Podcasts or use the podcast's RSS Feed Washington, D.C. (August 3, 2023) – Permissive legal and illegal immigration policies have been shown to hurt the working class in America the most. Yet, the media and corporate America often repeat the myth that there are certain jobs Americans won’t do, and that the U.S. is experiencing a labor shortage. They conclude, therefore, that we need immigrants to fill these gaps, which are predominantly in less-skilled fields. On this episode of Parsing Immigration Policy , Oren Cass, executive director of American Compass and author of The Once and Future Worker , joins guest host Steven Camarota, the Center’s director of research, to debunk these myths about the need for immigrants to enter the U.S. labor force. In reality, giving employers access to immigrant labor (both legal and illegal) suppresses wages and removes the incentive for employers to improve working conditions for Americans. Cass and Camarota discuss the difference in how policymakers and business leaders approach less-skilled labor versus more-skilled, due in large part to an addiction to cheap consumption. Current visa programs benefit consumers and employers with lower prices while hurting the American worker, and Cass notes that very low unemployment rates and rising wages are identified as a problem only when the working class experience them. Cass argues that our government should take steps to reduce illegal immigration and the best way to do this is to make it costly for employers to employ those not authorized to work. Illegal immigrants compete with the most vulnerable Americans and depress wages. The two experts agree that E-Verify, an internet-based system that allows an employer to determine a new hire’s eligibility to work, is a key tool for influencing employers. In discussing legal immigration, Cass prefers the number of legal immigrants admitted to our country yearly remain the same, but he contends that the types of legal immigrants we are accepting should change – high-skilled, high-earning immigrants should be emphasized, as they will in turn create better employment opportunities for working-class Americans. Camarota and Cass close out the podcast with a discussion on the importance of training Americans for these higher-skilled jobs as opposed to expanding the labor supply by importing high-skilled immigrants.

Mexico’s President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador mocked Texas Governor Greg Abbott this week over the recent lawsuit filed by the U.S. Department of Justice against the state seeking the removal of various border barriers including buoys and fencing.
During his morning news conference, Lopez Obrador talked about the recent lawsuit filed by the DOJ against Texas seeking the removal of various border barriers. As Breitbart Texas reported , Abbott ordered the placement of buoys and various other barriers claiming that the administration of U.S. President Joe Biden was not doing anything to stop illegal immigration or drug trafficking.
“We celebrate that Biden is presenting this complaint because it is not his (Abbott’s) to meddle in international affairs,” Lopez Obrador said. “It is the faculty of the federal executive. States are not supposed to have any type of accords with foreign nations. But we have to look at it for what it is, it’s a publicity stunt.”
In his conference, Lopez Obrador said that people from Texas and Mexico are supposed to be united, and the fencing promotes division instead of fostering unity.
“He (Abbott) is doing everything for votes,” Lopez Obrador said. “I think it’s going to be counterproductive for him. I don’t think people are going to vote for him. They are NOT going to vote for him.”
Lopez Obrador said that Texas has a large population of Hispanic descent and a large population of migrants from Latin American countries who will vote against Abbott.
As Breitbart Texas reported , Lopez Obrador has called for Hispanics to oppose Republican politicians such as Abbott and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis over their stances on immigration and border security. The Mexican politician has even called for Hispanics in the US to vote against those politicians.

Biden Labor Department Under Investigation After Mass Exploitation of Child Migrants Revealed (Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images)
The independent watchdog of the Department of Labor is investigating the agency's role in a wave of child labor violations of migrants across the country.
The department's Office of Inspector General said in an Aug. 21 memo that it plans to audit the department's "efforts to curtail child labor law violations, as well as the cause for rising child labor law violations."
It's the latest development in a scandal involving the Labor Department, the Department of Health and Human Services, and the White House.
The New York Times first broke the story in April, when it showed documents proving the administration was quickly releasing unaccompanied migrant children into the country by the thousands. Many of those children ended up working grueling jobs, often for long hours and in dangerous conditions where they worked with chemicals and industrial equipment.
The probe comes amid rising cases of illegal child labor, Bloomberg reported :
Agency officials said in July that over the past 10 months alone, the DOL’s wage division has concluded 765 cases involving 4,474 children employed in violation of federal child labor laws. Overall, the department reported that it’s seen a 69% increase child labor violations from 2018 and 2022.
Sen. Josh Hawley (R., Mo.) slammed the Biden administration in June for its failure to address the widespread crisis.
"This administration has let tens of thousands of children be sold into slavery," Hawley said . "They are doing nothing about it."
Five former HHS employees said they were pushed out of the agency after they raised concerns about children's safety.
The Times report also implicated former domestic policy adviser Susan Rice. Rice and her team reportedly failed to act, even as administration staffers called for stricter vetting of the sponsors migrant children were placed with to prevent human trafficking. A week after the Times report, the White House announced that Rice would step down.
Further reports found that children were sent to the homes of unscreened adults, some of whom could have been registered sex offenders or had a history of child neglect.
The Times reported that though the two departments did flag the problem for the White House, the notices were not marked as urgent and did not properly explain the scope of the crisis.

HAVE YOU EVER HEARD JOE ADDRESS THE ISSUE OF HOMELESS AMERICANS???
Biden Approves Migrant Camp at NYC Airfield Despite Residents’ Opposition Paul Frangipane/VIEWpress/Ting Shen/Bloomberg/Luiz C. Ribeiro for NY Daily News via Getty Images 2:35
President Joe Biden is ignoring concerns from Brooklyn, New York, residents and has greenlit a plan that will see at least 2,000 single adult male border crossers and illegal aliens housed in a former naval airfield facility — paid for by New Yorkers.
On Tuesday, residents in southeast Brooklyn protested New York Gov. Kathy Hochul’s (D) plan to turn Floyd Bennett Field, owned by the federal government, into a massive migrant camp.
The former naval airfield sits along Jamaica Bay and near multiple neighborhoods including Gerritsen Beach, Roxbury, and Breezy Point.
“I live here, I grew up here,” one resident told News 12. “It’s going to make the neighborhood way more dangerous.”
During the protest, former GOP candidate for New York City mayor Curtis Sliwa blamed Biden’s lax enforcement of federal immigration law for the more than 100,000 migrants that have arrived in the city since the spring of last year.
“The people here feel that they have been betrayed,” Sliwa said at the protest. “No transparency whatsoever. It’s like ‘Pay your taxes, shut up, raise your kids, and we’ll tell you what you’re going to do.’ Well, we’ve had enough, no more of the illegal aliens. Enough is enough, this is Joe Biden’s problem.”

Despite concerns from nearby residents, Hochul confirmed on Wednesday that the Biden administration had approved her plan to house thousands of border crossers and illegal aliens at the airfield.
Hochul, praising the effort, said New Yorkers will pick up the tab for the migrant camp.
“I’m viewing this as a significant development by the administration … to acknowledge that we need more help here,” Hochul said.
The migrant camp at the airfield will be among many set up in New York City. Also this week, Mayor Eric Adams (D) opened a mega migrant shelter on Randall’s Island that will disrupt recreation services for school children as it sits on three soccer fields.
That mega shelter may soon house about 3,000 single adult male border crossers and illegal aliens at a cost of $20 million every month for New York City taxpayers. This is in addition to the $12 billion bill that New Yorkers are projected to pay to provide housing, food, care, and public services to migrants arriving from the southern border.

The GOP’s presidential candidates are grappling with immigration’s impact on Americans’ pocketbooks, marking a huge break from the establishment’s focus on expanding the overall economy with immigrant workers, consumers, and renters.
“These responses are way better than they would have been before Trump showed Republican politicians [in 2016] that you can actually benefit from responding to your constituent’s concerns instead of ignoring them,” Mark Krikorian, director of the Center for Immigration Studies, told Breitbart News.
Breitbart News asked, “Will you support cutting legal immigration levels into the United States until wages stabilize for middle and working-class Americans?”
Former President Donald Trump answered:
Yes. We will immediately restore the full suite of policies we had in 2020, which includes the Public Charge regulation, the sponsor vetting and repayment policies (implementing the curbs from the 1996 law), the Travel Ban (which will be expanded further), and the Healthcare 212 Act (barring the entry of new residents who will depend on the state for healthcare).
Trump also promised to protect American tech graduates from companies’ growing use of imported and cheap H-1B visa workers:
In order to protect American STEM workers, we will reimplement all of our historic actions regarding H-1B workers, including the termination of the visa lottery, the non-displacement rule, and the highest salary first rule.
“Our policy will be to prevent any immigration that hurts Americans or American jobs,” he said.
Former Vice President Mike Pence answered Breitbart’s wage question by arguing that inflation will drop as illegal migrants are sent home:
If we end illegal immigration, we’ll cut that number down by a quarter, and American citizens can expect to notice it in their pocketbook as their money no longer gets debased by Bidenflation.
Pence also promised to implement the E-Verify system to deter the hiring of illegal migrants: “Yes, and the federal government must pick up the tab for implementation and not thrust another unfunded mandate on the American people.”
Aides to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis responded, “DeSantis will seek to reduce immigration that undercuts American jobs and wages. The immigration system should provide a net benefit to Americans, our economy, and our country.”
DeSantis’s deputies also cited wages in response to a question about reforming the H-1B program used to import foreign graduates for U.S. jobs, saying:
Ron DeSantis believes that the H1-B program has been used to undercut American wages and will work to reform the program to ensure that H1-B visas do not displace or undermine American workers.
The deputies added:
The United States should not have an immigration system that is going to lower wages for working Americans. The level of immigration permitted, skilled and unskilled, should be that which is best for America—and not set according to the demands of foreign entities or political trends. This will be the outlook utilized by the DeSantis Administration when making such policy determinations.
That is a huge shift from 2016 when Jeb Bush competed against Trump’s populist pitch by promising to import more migrants to grow the economy:
I view fixing a broken [immigration] system as a huge opportunity to get to that four percent [national economic] growth. We can grow by 4 percent through all sorts of policies, but immigration has to be a part of it.
Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley responded, “We need to bring in immigrants based on merit and based on those who will lift our economy up—not based on some arbitrary number.” But she did promise to enforce the E-Verify system if elected.
South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott said, “Once my Administration has secured our border and restored our basic national sovereignty, then I will be willing to discuss the legal immigration system.”
Anti-woke businessman Vivek Ramaswamy provided a general statement that included a promise to “gut” the H-1B visa program: “It’s a form of indentured servitude that only accrues to the benefit of the company that sponsored an H1-B immigrant. I’ll gut it.”
A statement from aides to Doug Burgun, the North Dakota governor, said, “He knows that until the border is truly secure, the crisis at the border will never end, and there can be no true solution to the other immigration issues facing our nation.”
Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie declined to answer the questions.
JOE BIDEN is known as a serial liar , a "public servant" who has somehow managed to accrue tremendous wealth , a race-baiting opportunist, a Catholic-in-name-only , and a bought-and-paid-for politician in bed with criminal cartels and foreign foes . In another era, Joe Biden would have been run out of his country much the same way Benedict Arnold was two and a half centuries ago; in an era when integrity, honor, fortitude, fidelity, and grit have been jettisoned for immorality, unscrupulousness, weakness, betrayal, and craven pliability, however, he is elevated to king sleazeball in a city drowning in sleaze.
