America Faces No Greater Threat Than Joe Biden and the Democrat Party. Their Assault to Our Borders Is As Great As Their Assault to Free Speech and Free Elections
Tuesday, August 1, 2023
N.A.F.T.A. JOE BIDEN - FOLKS, I'M NOT CONCERNED ABOUT AMERICA'S HOMELESS, I'M WORRIED MY ILLEGALS WON'T GET THEIR CONDOS AND VOTER REGISTRATION CARDS BEFORE THE ELECTION!!!
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.

Kamala Harris Urges Illegal Migrants to Help Elect Joe Biden
Sen. Kamala Harris promised Sunday to reduce detention space for migrants as she asked an illegal immigrant activist to help Joe Biden win the election.
BLOG EDITOR: WHY DIDN’T LAWYER KAMALA HARRIS TELL THE ILLEGAL TO GO HOME??? SHE’S THE ONE WHO AS ATTORNEY GENERAL OF CA DECLARED THAT NEARLY HALF THE MURDERS IN MEXIFORNIA ARE BY MEX GANGS!
“I’m undocumented … I can’t vote …What can we do during this election to help make sure that we get you elected?” asked Astrid Silva, who was brought into the United States as a child by her illegal migrant parents.
“You can tell people who can vote what life is like for you now, and what life can be like,” Vice President nominee Harris told the Nevada-based political organizer who runs the pro-amnesty Dream Big Nevada group, adding that:
We are committed to shutting down private detention centers and ending policies that have been about separating children from their parents at the border.
Harris’s comments may be a coded message to would-be illegal migrants and their supportive legal-immigrant relatives.
For example, if implemented, Harris’s promise to start “shutting down private detention centers” could cripple border enforcement. If the enforcement agency does not have commercial prisons to hold detainees prior to their asylum hearings, the agency would be forced to release waves of job-seeking migrants into the U.S. labor market.
Similarly, Harris’s promise to end “policies … about separating children” echoes the media-magnified demand by pro-migration activists that officials release migrant mothers and children when they cross the border. That demand would let migrant families freely travel to relatives — including their illegal migrant husbands and fathers — who are working illegally in the United States.
Last week in Nevada, I caught up with my friend @Astrid_NV, to discuss the Biden-Harris plan for immigration reform and how Dreamers can make a difference in this election.
Like Biden, Harris pushed the Cold War “Nation of Immigrants” claim, even though only about 10 percent of people in the United States are legal immigrants:
We want to have a president who understands we are a nation of immigrants. This is a country that was built and that has derived its strength from immigrants coming here over the generations.
Harris also tried to blur the legal and civic differences between illegal migrants, legal immigrants, and American citizens. For example, she told Silva:
Define who you are, and you tell the world who you are. Don’t let anybody ever put you in a box because they have a limited perspective on who can do what and who can be one.
[…]
We are all in this together. And so, chin up, shoulders back, right? We speak our truth and know that there will always be people applauding and supporting that even if you can’t see them at that one moment, know that there are so many of us who are supporting your leadership and the power of your voice. It’s really important.
Harris also claimed President Donald Trump vilified immigrants: “We’ve seen under the current president the kind of vitriol, the kind of hate, the vilification of immigrants in such a horrible way.”
But a Washington Post poll showed in April that Latinos are the strongest advocates for a near-total halt to legal immigration during the coronavirus epidemic and economic crash.
Biden’s 2020 plan promises to “reassert America’s commitment to asylum-seekers and refugees,” wipe out Trump’s asylum reforms, bar any deportations for 100 days, and end migration enforcement against illegal aliens unless they commit a felony.
Joe Biden’s asylum and open-border policies will destroy the American middle class by releasing millions of foreign migrants into the United States, Stephen Miller told reporters October 28. https://t.co/BaeLSIud7y
Biden also wants to let companies import more visa workers, let mayors import temporary workers, and allow an unlimited flow of foreign graduates through U.S. universities into white-collar jobs. Biden would “exempt from any cap [the] recent graduates of Ph.D. programs in STEM fields.”
Biden also wants to accelerate the inflow of chain migration migrants and dramatically accelerate the inflow of poor refugees to at least 125,000 per year.
“The influx of low wage workers from all across the world will drive down incomes, drive down wages, deplete the middle class, bankrupt Social Security, bankrupt Medicare, bankrupt Medicaid, bankrupt federal entitlements, overcrowd schools, and overcrowd every hospital in the middle of a pandemic,” White House aide Stephen Miller told reporters on October 28.
“It is an assault on reason, it is an assault on law enforcement, and it’s an assault on the very idea of having a country, having a Republic,” Miller added. “This is not about left or right or Center. This is about between having a country, or not even having a country.
Democrats Ask Biden to Declare Emergency as Illegal Immigrants Flood NYC

Fifty-four elected officials in New York City have sent a letter to President Joe Biden to address the influx of illegal immigrants in the city, asking him to declare a federal state of emergency so that the illegal immigrants can legally work in the country.
"We are elected officials from New York City requesting your help. Our City is experiencing an unprecedented migrant influx, with a surge of asylum seekers arriving here in numbers never seen before in history. Our City is at a breaking point," wrote New York City Assemblywoman Jenifer Rajkumar.
"We take pride in New York being a beacon of hope for immigrants, but the influx of migrants is so great that the City is running out of resources. New York City is being forced to reduce services for its people."
Since Spring of 2022, buses of illegal immigrants, sent from the southern border in Texas, have arrived regularly in the city. Many are asylum seekers from Venezuela escaping the socialist country's economic collapse, and New York elected officials have welcomed them.
While the self-declared "sanctuary city" already had difficulties housing its 60,000-plus homeless population, officials set about finding housing for tens of thousands of asylum seekers.
By October 2022, New York City Mayor Eric Adams declared a state of emergency in the city. According to his office, the illegal immigrant influx could nearly double the number of people the already overtaxed shelter system needed to serve, and cost $1 billion within a fiscal year.
"We need help, and we need it now," Mr. Adams said. “New York City is doing our part, and now others must step up and join us.”
Emergency Powers
Last week, the city announced it would set up a shelter for 1,000 illegal immigrants in the parking lot of a state psychiatric hospital. The special use case was made possible by the state of emergency, which allows for use of additional resources without additional red tape.
A federal state of emergency would allow federal agencies to work with and fund the housing and services for the illegal immigrants.
"The federal government could then provide migrants with assistance such as shelter, food relief, healthcare, legal aid, and transportation," Ms. Rajkumar wrote in her letter.
The 54 Democrat lawmakers also requested that the Biden administration allow the illegal immigrants to work in the country.
"The federal government must expedite the issuance of Employment Authorization Documents. It is a common sense and bi-partisan fix. Asylum seekers are arriving eager to work, and our Nation has 10 million job openings with 3.5 million fewer people in the workforce than projected pre-pandemic," the letter reads. "We ask that the White House take executive actions to expedite work authorization, such as classifying asylum seekers as refugees, expanding Temporary Protected Status, increasing access to humanitarian parole, and surging the number of officers processing asylum claims."
The letter makes no reference to curbing the number of illegal immigrants entering the country or city, nor does it differentiate between legal and illegal immigrants. It instead makes requests that the federal government make it simpler for them to cross the southern border illegally, and to relocate them in all parts of the country, while providing additional funding for New York City.
The city has already received $104.6 million through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), which the lawmakers say equates to just 13 days of relief.
The city expects to have spent $4.3 billion by June 2024.
"While we welcome immigrants to our City, the current unstructured state of immigration policy and response needs to end. There needs to be a system of rules in place to manage the migrant crisis," the letter reads. "That is why we are pleading for the White House to step in a take leadership over the influx of asylum seekers."
"We believe that with your leadership, we can turn this crisis into opportunity and that this can become one of history's greatest success stories."
Housing Crisis
The city is currently sheltering about 52,000 illegal immigrants, and officials say more continue to arrive by the week.
As a "sanctuary" city, New York is one of several across the country now that have declared it will not cooperate with federal authorities to arrest and deport illegal immigrants.
The city's "right to shelter" law mandates that homeless families must be given a bed the same day, and adults within a day. As the city runs out of beds, it is scrambling to create temporary shelter spaces wherever possible, be it a hospital parking lot, airplane hangars, parks, or a racetrack.
Most of these ideas have been met with strong pushback from communities. City residents, who are already feeling the housing crunch and are unable to find permanent housing of their own, have been shocked by city plans to turn their gyms, schools, and parks into housing for the illegal immigrants.
The city had plans to further bus illegal immigrants north of the city, but local officials in those areas quickly pushed back. For the most part, the city is attempting to find the necessary amount of shelter with city resources. If the numbers continue to increase, exacerbating the issue and prompting federal intervention, the trend could be unlikely to reverse.
New York City: A Sanctuary No More
Frantic Dems now drowning in the cesspool of their own creation.
Recently, New York Mayor Eric Adams announced that the city has printed thousands of flyers it plans to distribute at the U.S.-Mexico border. The flyer has a simple message to illegal border-crossers: Don’t come to New York.
The headline is in all caps: “UPDATES TO ASYLUM-SEEKERS FROM THE CITY OF NEW YORK.” The flyer goes on to say that more than 90,000 migrants have come to the city since April of last year. Now, the handout says, “There is no guarantee we will be able to provide shelter and services to new arrivals.” The flyer goes on to warn, “Housing in NYC is very expensive,” as is the cost of “food, transportation and other necessities.”
And then the message: “Please consider another city as you make your decision about where to settle in the U.S.”
Adams also announced that New York is going to get tough with migrants who are already in the city and are staying in its shelters. “In the coming days, the city will begin providing 60 days’ notice to adult asylum-seekers to find alternative housing paired with intensified casework services to help adult asylum-seekers explore other housing options and take the next step in their journey,” a city statement said. “Each asylum-seeker given notice will have multiple touchpoints with caseworkers over their 60 days to discuss their options and plan their next steps.” The short version of that is: We’re kicking you out. Find somewhere to go.
Adams, a Democrat, has come a long way since 2019, when he was the borough president of Brooklyn and, like some others in his city’s government, wanted to attack then-President Donald Trump’s policy on immigration. “Make no mistake, New York City will ALWAYS stand up to Donald Trump and call out his cynical plots to divide our country,” Adams tweeted on April 16, 2019. “To anyone in the world fleeing hatred and oppression, the ultimate city of immigrants wants you to remember: You’re ALWAYS welcome here.”
As it turned out, ALWAYS did not actually mean always. It didn’t even mean five years. Now, just four years after his everlasting commitment, Adams is telling illegal immigrants to stay away.
“There is no room in New York,” Adams said back in January. “New York cannot take more. We can’t. No city deserves what is happening.” In the case of New York, what is happening is “more than 90,000” migrants since April 2022.
Ninety thousand migrants! What a terrible burden. Now consider this, from the government of El Paso, Texas, a city far smaller and with far fewer resources than New York: “The number of people released to the City of El Paso and local nongovernment organizations (NGOs; i.e., humanitarian agencies) has grown from approximately 250 per day in early August [2022] to as high as over 1,000 per day during the month of September 2022. The number fluctuates daily and is currently averaging 900 per day.”
El Paso’s burden dwarfs anything New York City has experienced. And El Paso is, of course, just one city along the U.S.-Mexico border. Collectively, border communities have had to deal with millions of illegal crossers since the rush began with Joe Biden’s inauguration as president of the United States.
That brings us to Greg Abbott, the Republican governor of Texas. When Abbott first offered illegal border-crossers, whom the Biden administration allowed to stay in the U.S., free transport to New York, some dismissed it as a stunt, or worse. But Abbott’s move forced self-righteous New Yorkers to face the fact that their commitment to being a “sanctuary city” only goes so far. There’s no way, even with all of their resources, New York can offer sanctuary to even a small portion of the migrants illegally crossing into Texas, much less the whole U.S.-Mexico border.
Abbott proved to Adams and other Democrats in sanctuary cities around the country that their rhetoric means nothing when confronted by the true scale of the illegal entry problem. Perhaps it made them feel good to talk about sanctuary and welcoming and unity in opposition to the hated Trump. But it won’t solve the immense problem that President Biden’s policies have created.

Dozens of Migrants Sleep on Sidewalk Outside Packed NYC Hotel-Turned-Shelter
Dozens of illegal immigrants were seen sleeping outside a New York City hotel as the Democrat-run city continues to struggle with a surge of migrants from the southern border.
The migrants slept across three city blocks on Monday morning outside the Roosevelt Hotel in Manhattan, which the city has packed with migrants since it reopened as a migrant shelter, the New York Postreported.
"I came to New York City because I thought there would be help," migrant Abderahim Mahamat Saleh, from the Central African Republic, told the Post. "I wish I didn’t come to New York."
Some migrants slept in vans along the street, but the vehicles quickly filled up.
The hotel has been at capacity all weekend, which has caused pushing and shoving by migrants to get inside.
"They tell us there is no room. There is going to be like [sic], they're all full. We have to wait. Maybe two weeks, maybe two days, who knows?" migrant Mohamed Mokhtar said. "They give us the ticket. They said they're going to call us and they didn't."
Democratic mayor Eric Adams's office said in a statement that New Yorkers can expect to see more migrants sleeping on sidewalks.
"While we at least offered all adults a temporary place to wait off the sidewalks last night, some may have chosen to sleep outside and, in all honesty, New Yorkers may continue to see that more and more as hundreds of asylum seekers continue to arrive each day," the office said.
New York City has struggled to manage the migrant influx. Adams's administration is handing out flyers at the southern border telling migrants to "consider another city."
The flyer details the high cost of housing and food migrants will have to pay if they travel to New York City.
"Please consider another city as you make your decision about where to settle in the U.S.," the flyer says in English and Spanish.
The city's struggles come after Adams promised on the campaign trail that New York would "remain a sanctuary city under an Adams administration." Adams in January said New York City has "no room" for migrants.
10,000 Illegal Immigrants Apprehended at Tucson Border Sector

On July 29, the Tucson, Arizona, Border Patrol announced it had apprehended 10,000 illegal immigrants in the past week—up by about 1,000 from the week before.
In a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, Tucson Sector Chief Patrol Agent John Modlin reported that his team apprehended 10,000 illegal immigrants and intercepted 21 human smuggling attempts in the Tucson border area.
Tucson agents made 11 seizures of narcotics, including six pounds of fentanyl and an equal amount of methamphetamine.
Border agents also seized three firearms.
The $83,000 worth of fentanyl pills
were found by Nogales Station agents
inside an abandoned backpack located
underneath the rear seat of a passenger
shuttle van during a secondary
inspection.
Mr. Modlin also reported the rescue of 430 illegal immigrants who fell prey to the scorching summer heat of the Arizona desert. He posted a photo of a 45-year-old Guatemalan woman receiving medical attention in the wilderness at night.
The woman, who crossed the border in the Baboquivari Mountains on July 21, suffered from severe dehydration and a leg injury.
“After providing lifesaving aid, #BORSTAR agents litter-carried the woman through rigorous terrain to meet [Arizona Department of Public Safety] for an airlift to a hospital,” Mr. Modlin wrote on X.
“The unforgiving desert heat can be life-threatening,” Mr. Modlin said. “With temperatures soaring well above 100 degrees, it only takes minutes for heat exhaustion and dehydration to set in. Those attempting to cross the border illegally underestimate the intensity of the heat and vastness of the desert.”
“The dangers are real, do not cross,” he added.
On July 24, Border Patrol agents at Ajo Station encountered a group of 194 illegal immigrants, the chief wrote on July 28. “The group consisted of single adults and family units from 16 different nations.”
“Tucson Sector agents continue to respond to these large groups and work through the challenges they present,” he added.
The apprehension of 10,000 illegal immigrants in just one week indicates a steep increase in the influx at the Tucson Sector.
Last month, Tucson Sector agents apprehended a total of 24,360 migrants trying to cross the border illegally. The year-to-date total for the sector is 235,000 apprehensions, up 40,000 from the previous year, and significantly higher than the two years prior.
According to Breitbart Texas, the increased apprehensions in Arizona are partly due to Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s Operation Lone Star, a border protection initiative that began in 2021 “to fill in the dangerous gaps created by President [Joe] Biden’s reckless open border policies,” according to the governor’s office.
The June Nationwide Encounters Report from U.S. Customs and Border Protection reported a drop in illegal immigrant apprehensions by more than 11 percent from the previous year.
“States like Arizona are following President Biden’s lead, allowing even more migrants to surge into our country while Texas is holding the line,” the governor’s press secretary told Breitbart.
“Increased apprehensions in border states west of Texas show our deterrence strategies are effective, as migrants choose to illegally cross in states that have left the door wide open for them.”
The State of California lost nearly $350 million in tax revenues in 2021 due to migration out of the state — a worrisome figure as the state contemplates a new deficit of $32 billion this year.
California ranks first among states experiencing the worst net negative tax income migration. With a staggering net loss of $343.2 million, the Golden State is witnessing an outflow of high-income earners.
Despite its numerous attractions, from the booming tech industry and world-class universities to beautiful landscapes and cultural richness, California’s high personal income tax rates seem discouraging for many high-wealth individuals. This, coupled with the state’s high cost of living, will likely fuel a wealth migration out of California.
These trends affect the state’s economy, especially the real estate and job markets. The departure of high-income earners can decrease demand for luxury real estate and potentially affect the commercial real estate sector. It also impacts job creation, as these high-income individuals often play a significant role in business expansion and entrepreneurial activities.
New York was second, losing $299.6 million; and Illinois was third, with a net loss of $141.7 million.
Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) has focused on attacking conservative states like Florida, but he is losing residents — and tax revenues to those states. MyEListing.com notes that Florida and Texas led all other states in “positive tax migration.” Arizona, currently governed by Democrats, was third.
Newsom enjoyed a budget surplus of nearly $100 billion last year, buoyed in part by federal coronavirus funds that were signed into law by President Joe Biden in 2021.

Border czar Kamala Harris beclowns herself trying to answer a reporter's question about migrant surge
Border czar Kamala Harris had nothing but criticism for red-state governors who move illegal border crossers to sanctuary cities and states in order to take some of the social services burden off from their own states.
Here she was, explaining it all out to an ABC News correspondent:
The explanation was so bad RNC Research was using it as an entertainment tweet for the edification of their fellow Republicans.
ABC News Interviewer: Busloads of migrants have been dropped off right at your doorstep by some GOP red states. Despite those tactics, you do have Republicans who are largely making inroads with Latino voters, and there are many critics, some within your own party, who say that there are some within your own party, who say that there's more that your administration should be doing on the migration front. Do they have a point?
Kamala: So, first of all, let's agree that people should not ... be the pawns in a political game. Human beings, should not be treated as pawns, in a political game. What is happening in terms of sending these migrants, most of whom have flee (sic) great harm, and sending them across the country, for the sake of some political showmanship, is just irresponsible. If you want to deal with the problem, then, do it if you are a leader, by participating in the solution.
That sounds like gibberish, and based on what's intelligible from it, doesn't answer the reporter's question.
She laughably accuses Republican red-state governors with using the migrants as pawns, even though the trips to other states are entirely voluntary. As Nick Arama points out at RedState:
First, the Biden team has sent people all over the country, including flying them into Westchester, NY, in the dead of night. So they’re mad when states did what they were already doing? Harris didn’t seem to care when their administration was doing this. They didn’t care if border towns and other cities were being overwhelmed. They only started paying some attention after governors did things like this to draw attention to the magnitude of the problem and how overwhelmed they are.
So the hypocrisy here, in pointing out that others were doing what the Biden administration is already doing, is little short of breath-taking.
Harris also claimed that the migrants were fleeing great harm, which is nonsense, given that most of their asylum cases are rejected in immigration courts, and many migrants fail to show up to their appointments. Based on statements the migrants themselves have given to reporters, they are looking for a better life, with some having already obtained asylum in other countries and now simply country-shopping for bigger benefit packages and better paid jobs. Even that doesn't cover the waterfront, given that some are looking for better opportunities to commit crimes, if the numbers of arrests seen are any indication, and others still are looking for easier benefits without working at all. Harm? What is she talking about? Some of these guys are the actual harm-ers, making life hellish in places like Honduras and Venezuela and now moving on to the states to prey on our locals.
Lastly, she babbles something about "being part of the solution," which is strange and vaguely defined stuff. What's the solution everyone must bow down to?
In any case, that insulting statement about being the solution would be news to Democrats such as New York's mayor, Eric Adams, who has sought federal help for his migrant influx which has strained city resources. He's actually trying to find the solution in a way that Harris is not.
How, exactly, is Eric Adams supposed to be part of "the solution," other than by rolling over and taking it, when he can't get the administration's attention?
What Harris didn't do was address the ABC News reporter's actual questions -- about how the GOP is making inroads with Latino voters, for one, despite the GOP governor actions against illegal immigration, and the fact that now there are many Biden-Harris administration critics even from the Democrat side of the spectrum, mostly leading deep blue cities that are running out of resources fast, based on all the new migrant demands for services.
What is her solution?
Harris just seemed to recite a canned parody of an answer, as if distantly remembering it from some training session with her handlers, and not listening to what the reporter was asking.
No wonder she's a figure of fun. Not only does she not have the chops to solve the immigration crisis, she can't even answer simple questions about it.
More and more, it looks obvious that she's not ready for political, or any other, prime time.
"Fox’s Tucker Carlson noted Thursday that Obrador has
previously proposed granting AMNESTY TO MEXICAN DRUG
CARTELS. “America is now Mexico’s social safety net, and that’s
a very good deal for the Mexican ruling class,” Carlson added."
"Many Americans forget is that our country is located against a socialist failed state that is promising to descend even further into chaos – not California, the other one. And the Mexicans, having reached the bottom of the hole they have dug for themselves, just chose to keep digging by electing a new leftist presidente who wants to surrender to the cartels and who thinks that Mexicans have some sort of “human right” to sneak into the U.S. and demographically reconquer it." KURT SCHLICHTER
As in 2016, Democrats advance a corrupt ruling-class candidate. Like the dead man Gary Ernst, Democrats want people to vote for Joe Biden so they can swap him out for Kamala Harris, already a beneficiary of voter fraud and with the exception of Xavier Becerra possibly the worst attorney general in California history.
Sen. Kamala Harris promised Sunday to reduce detention space for migrants as she asked an illegal immigrant activist to help Joe Biden win the election.

Border czar Kamala Harris beclowns herself trying to answer a reporter's question about migrant surge
Border czar Kamala Harris had nothing but criticism for red-state governors who move illegal border crossers to sanctuary cities and states in order to take some of the social services burden off from their own states.
Here she was, explaining it all out to an ABC News correspondent:
The explanation was so bad RNC Research was using it as an entertainment tweet for the edification of their fellow Republicans.
ABC News Interviewer: Busloads of migrants have been dropped off right at your doorstep by some GOP red states. Despite those tactics, you do have Republicans who are largely making inroads with Latino voters, and there are many critics, some within your own party, who say that there are some within your own party, who say that there's more that your administration should be doing on the migration front. Do they have a point?
Kamala: So, first of all, let's agree that people should not ... be the pawns in a political game. Human beings, should not be treated as pawns, in a political game. What is happening in terms of sending these migrants, most of whom have flee (sic) great harm, and sending them across the country, for the sake of some political showmanship, is just irresponsible. If you want to deal with the problem, then, do it if you are a leader, by participating in the solution.
That sounds like gibberish, and based on what's intelligible from it, doesn't answer the reporter's question.
She laughably accuses Republican red-state governors with using the migrants as pawns, even though the trips to other states are entirely voluntary. As Nick Arama points out at RedState:
First, the Biden team has sent people all over the country, including flying them into Westchester, NY, in the dead of night. So they’re mad when states did what they were already doing? Harris didn’t seem to care when their administration was doing this. They didn’t care if border towns and other cities were being overwhelmed. They only started paying some attention after governors did things like this to draw attention to the magnitude of the problem and how overwhelmed they are.
So the hypocrisy here, in pointing out that others were doing what the Biden administration is already doing, is little short of breath-taking.
Harris also claimed that the migrants were fleeing great harm, which is nonsense, given that most of their asylum cases are rejected in immigration courts, and many migrants fail to show up to their appointments. Based on statements the migrants themselves have given to reporters, they are looking for a better life, with some having already obtained asylum in other countries and now simply country-shopping for bigger benefit packages and better paid jobs. Even that doesn't cover the waterfront, given that some are looking for better opportunities to commit crimes, if the numbers of arrests seen are any indication, and others still are looking for easier benefits without working at all. Harm? What is she talking about? Some of these guys are the actual harm-ers, making life hellish in places like Honduras and Venezuela and now moving on to the states to prey on our locals.
Lastly, she babbles something about "being part of the solution," which is strange and vaguely defined stuff. What's the solution everyone must bow down to?
In any case, that insulting statement about being the solution would be news to Democrats such as New York's mayor, Eric Adams, who has sought federal help for his migrant influx which has strained city resources. He's actually trying to find the solution in a way that Harris is not.
How, exactly, is Eric Adams supposed to be part of "the solution," other than by rolling over and taking it, when he can't get the administration's attention?
What Harris didn't do was address the ABC News reporter's actual questions -- about how the GOP is making inroads with Latino voters, for one, despite the GOP governor actions against illegal immigration, and the fact that now there are many Biden-Harris administration critics even from the Democrat side of the spectrum, mostly leading deep blue cities that are running out of resources fast, based on all the new migrant demands for services.
What is her solution?
Harris just seemed to recite a canned parody of an answer, as if distantly remembering it from some training session with her handlers, and not listening to what the reporter was asking.
No wonder she's a figure of fun. Not only does she not have the chops to solve the immigration crisis, she can't even answer simple questions about it.
More and more, it looks obvious that she's not ready for political, or any other, prime time.
"Fox’s Tucker Carlson noted Thursday that Obrador has
previously proposed granting AMNESTY TO MEXICAN DRUG
CARTELS. “America is now Mexico’s social safety net, and that’s
a very good deal for the Mexican ruling class,” Carlson added."
"Many Americans forget is that our country is located against a socialist failed state that is promising to descend even further into chaos – not California, the other one. And the Mexicans, having reached the bottom of the hole they have dug for themselves, just chose to keep digging by electing a new leftist presidente who wants to surrender to the cartels and who thinks that Mexicans have some sort of “human right” to sneak into the U.S. and demographically reconquer it." KURT SCHLICHTER
As in 2016, Democrats advance a corrupt ruling-class candidate. Like the dead man Gary Ernst, Democrats want people to vote for Joe Biden so they can swap him out for Kamala Harris, already a beneficiary of voter fraud and with the exception of Xavier Becerra possibly the worst attorney general in California history.
Kamala Harris Urges Illegal Migrants to Help Elect Joe Biden
Sen. Kamala Harris promised Sunday to reduce detention space for migrants as she asked an illegal immigrant activist to help Joe Biden win the election.
BLOG EDITOR: WHY DIDN’T LAWYER KAMALA HARRIS TELL THE ILLEGAL TO GO HOME??? SHE’S THE ONE WHO AS ATTORNEY GENERAL OF CA DECLARED THAT NEARLY HALF THE MURDERS IN MEXIFORNIA ARE BY MEX GANGS!
“I’m undocumented … I can’t vote …What can we do during this election to help make sure that we get you elected?” asked Astrid Silva, who was brought into the United States as a child by her illegal migrant parents.
“You can tell people who can vote what life is like for you now, and what life can be like,” Vice President nominee Harris told the Nevada-based political organizer who runs the pro-amnesty Dream Big Nevada group, adding that:
We are committed to shutting down private detention centers and ending policies that have been about separating children from their parents at the border.
Harris’s comments may be a coded message to would-be illegal migrants and their supportive legal-immigrant relatives.
For example, if implemented, Harris’s promise to start “shutting down private detention centers” could cripple border enforcement. If the enforcement agency does not have commercial prisons to hold detainees prior to their asylum hearings, the agency would be forced to release waves of job-seeking migrants into the U.S. labor market.
Similarly, Harris’s promise to end “policies … about separating children” echoes the media-magnified demand by pro-migration activists that officials release migrant mothers and children when they cross the border. That demand would let migrant families freely travel to relatives — including their illegal migrant husbands and fathers — who are working illegally in the United States.
Last week in Nevada, I caught up with my friend @Astrid_NV, to discuss the Biden-Harris plan for immigration reform and how Dreamers can make a difference in this election.
Like Biden, Harris pushed the Cold War “Nation of Immigrants” claim, even though only about 10 percent of people in the United States are legal immigrants:
We want to have a president who understands we are a nation of immigrants. This is a country that was built and that has derived its strength from immigrants coming here over the generations.
Harris also tried to blur the legal and civic differences between illegal migrants, legal immigrants, and American citizens. For example, she told Silva:
Define who you are, and you tell the world who you are. Don’t let anybody ever put you in a box because they have a limited perspective on who can do what and who can be one.
[…]
We are all in this together. And so, chin up, shoulders back, right? We speak our truth and know that there will always be people applauding and supporting that even if you can’t see them at that one moment, know that there are so many of us who are supporting your leadership and the power of your voice. It’s really important.
Harris also claimed President Donald Trump vilified immigrants: “We’ve seen under the current president the kind of vitriol, the kind of hate, the vilification of immigrants in such a horrible way.”
But a Washington Post poll showed in April that Latinos are the strongest advocates for a near-total halt to legal immigration during the coronavirus epidemic and economic crash.
Biden’s 2020 plan promises to “reassert America’s commitment to asylum-seekers and refugees,” wipe out Trump’s asylum reforms, bar any deportations for 100 days, and end migration enforcement against illegal aliens unless they commit a felony.
Joe Biden’s asylum and open-border policies will destroy the American middle class by releasing millions of foreign migrants into the United States, Stephen Miller told reporters October 28. https://t.co/BaeLSIud7y
Biden also wants to let companies import more visa workers, let mayors import temporary workers, and allow an unlimited flow of foreign graduates through U.S. universities into white-collar jobs. Biden would “exempt from any cap [the] recent graduates of Ph.D. programs in STEM fields.”
Biden also wants to accelerate the inflow of chain migration migrants and dramatically accelerate the inflow of poor refugees to at least 125,000 per year.
“The influx of low wage workers from all across the world will drive down incomes, drive down wages, deplete the middle class, bankrupt Social Security, bankrupt Medicare, bankrupt Medicaid, bankrupt federal entitlements, overcrowd schools, and overcrowd every hospital in the middle of a pandemic,” White House aide Stephen Miller told reporters on October 28.
“It is an assault on reason, it is an assault on law enforcement, and it’s an assault on the very idea of having a country, having a Republic,” Miller added. “This is not about left or right or Center. This is about between having a country, or not even having a country.
