JOE BIDEN HAS BEEN AT WAR WITH THE AMERICAN WORKER HIS ENTIRE POLITICAL LIFE. AND HE'S WINNING! POVERTY RATES ARE SOARING FOR AMERICANS AND THE JOBS GO TO ILLEGALS WHO WILL WORK CHEAP AND VOTE DEM FOR MORE
Biden Launches Nationwide Workforce Initiative — for Illegal Aliens
President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has launched a nationwide workforce initiative that seeks to funnel millions of border crossers and illegal aliens into United States jobs — even as the labor force participation rate for Americans continues to decline.
On Wednesday, Biden’s DHS announced “a first-of-its-kind national campaign” to make millions of border crossers and illegal aliens, who have been released into the U.S. interior, aware that they are eligible for work permits to take American jobs.
DHS officials wrote in a press release:
Hundreds of thousands of email and text notifications have been sent by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) in English, Spanish, and Haitian Creole, with additional notifications in Ukrainian and Russian planned in the coming days. [Emphasis added]
These notifications are the start of a government-wide effort to integrate newly arrived noncitizens into the American workforce … USCIS will also begin distributing flyers to local NGOs, stakeholders, and migrants to explain the [Employment Authorization Document] process and provide them with a QR code for instant access to the application. [Emphasis added]
Specifically, DHS officials said they are mostly connecting with border crossers and illegal aliens from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, Venezuela, and Ukraine who have been released into the U.S. interior to “remind them of their eligibility to apply for a work permit.”
Regardless of obtaining work permits, Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) Director of Research Steven Camarota told the Washington Times that millions of illegal aliens are holding American jobs.
Rep. Tom McClintock (R-CA) has estimated that Biden, in his first two years in office, has welcomed nearly four million border crossers and illegal aliens into American communities.
While serving as a boon for corporate special interests, most of whom are highly politically connected in Washington, DC, and routinely advocate for mass immigration to keep wages low, the announcement comes as more than 44 million Americans remain out of the workforce entirely — not including the millions of Americans counted in monthly unemployment figures.
Already, Biden has brought in so many legal immigrants and illegal aliens that foreign workers now account for the largest share of U.S. job holders since the numbers have been tracked.
Researchers have found that a flooded labor market, a result of mass immigration, can easily diminish job opportunities and wages for Americans.
One particular study by CIS found that for every one percent increase in the immigrant portion of an American worker’s occupation, their weekly wages are cut by perhaps 0.5 percent. This means the average native-born American has their weekly wages reduced by potentially nine percent, as more than 18 percent of the workforce is foreign-born.

The Biden administration has largely ignored effort s to get native-born Americans back into the workforce, instead adding millions of foreign workers to the labor market which adds downward pressure, particularly for working-class Americans in terms of finding jobs and securing higher wages. JOHN BINDER
Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR), on Thursday, slammed Biden’s plan to open Obamacare and Medicaid rolls to illegal aliens, calling it “an insult to American citizenship.”
“Rewarding illegal immigration will bring more illegal immigration,” Cotton said.
As a senator, Biden vigorously voted for several similar bills. In short, based on his voting record, Joe Biden is not (and never was) a champion of disadvantaged Americans, unless you consider multi-billion-dollar credit card corporations and millionaires “disadvantaged.” Chris Talgo
Boots on the Ground...Sept. 4th...More layoffs and more people having problems paying their bills.
President Joe Biden is projected to hugely boost the foreign-born workforce in the United States, adding about half a million to fill American jobs while tens of millions of Americans remain out of the labor market entirely.
Analysis from Goldman Sachs economists projects Biden’s ramping up the nation’s legal immigration system — which brings more than a million foreign nationals to the United States on green cards annually in addition to another million on temporary work visas — will add about 500,000 foreign workers to the workforce by mid-June of next year.
Monthly, the economists note, Biden is inflating the labor market with tens of thousands of foreign workers employers can hire, often at lower wages and with fewer benefits.
“… growth in the foreign-born labor force has accelerated by 50k to 160k per month this year, lifted by a surging foreign-born labor force participation rate (LFPR),” they write.
The ultimate result of adding millions of foreign workers to the workforce every few years, as Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell hinted at last month, is “rebalancing” the labor market so as not to be weighted in favor of employees but instead employers.
Keeping wages down is part of that result as well.
“This rebalancing has eased wage pressures,” Powell said. “Wage growth across a range of measures continues to slow, albeit gradually.”
The projection comes as the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) recently revealed that, as of April, more than 44 million native-born Americans remain on the labor market sidelines — not including the millions of native-born Americans counted in monthly unemployment figures.
The decline in the native-born American labor force participation rate of the last two decades is juxtapositioned against a growing number of foreign-born workers in the workforce.
From 1960 to 2023, for instance, the number of native-born American men 16 to 64 years old not in the labor market increased by nearly 14 million. Over that same period, the number of foreign-born workers 16 to 64 years old in the labor market increased by 13.7 million.
The trend is most prominent among the nation’s working and lower-middle classes.
“… the share of U.S.-born men 20 to 64 without a bachelor’s shows a decline in labor force participation from 93 percent in 1960 to 87 percent in 1980, 84.1 percent in 2000, and 77.3 percent in April of this year,” CIS researchers Steven Camarota and Karen Zeigler write.
Meanwhile, foreign-born men from 20 to 64 years old without a bachelor’s degree have seen their labor force participation rate decline since 2006, but it still remains higher than native-born American working-class men.
In April, 85.8 percent of foreign-born, working class men were in the workforce — nearly 10 percent more than native-born American working-class men.

August Unemployment Rate Jumps, Employment in June and July Revised Downward
In August, the unemployment rate jumped 0.3 points, from 3.5% 3.8%, as the number of long-term unemployed increased, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics(BLS) reportedFriday.
The nation’s unemployment rate jumped 0.3 percentage point to 3.8% in August, as the number of unemployed persons increased by 514,000 to 6.4 million.
Among the unemployed, the number of job losers and persons who completed temporary jobs increased by 294,000 to 2.9 million in August, offsetting a decrease of 280,000 in July.
The rise in the unemployment rate, coupled an increase in job losers, highlights ongoing challenges in the economy. Meanwhile, the number of persons employed part-time for economic reasons remained unchanged.
Key economic measures for August:
The number of unemployed persons increased by 514,000 from July.
Increases were recorded in both the number of persons unemployed less than 5 weeks, at 2.2 million, and the number of long-term unemployed (those jobless for 27 weeks or more), at 1.3 million.
The long-term unemployed accounted for 20.3% of all unemployed persons.
Labor force participation rate rose by 0.2 percentage points, to 62.8%.
By sector:
Total nonfarm payroll employment increased by 187,000.
Employment continued to trend up in sectors like health care, leisure and hospitality, social assistance, and construction.
Employment in transportation and warehousing fell.
By demographic group:
Unemployment rates for adult men, whites, and Asians rose
Rates for adult women, teenagers, Blacks, and Hispanics showed little change
The increases in health care, leisure and hospitality, social assistance, and construction continue a positive trend, as these industries have been leading the way in job growth. However, there was a decline in employment in the transportation and warehousing sector, which could be attributed to various factors such as supply chain disruptions and labor shortages.
The rise in the unemployment rate was primarily driven by an increase in the number of unemployed persons, which now stands at 6.4 million, after increasing by more than a half million from July.
Adding to concerns, the BLS reported that the economy’s picture in recent months wasn’t as rosy as it initially reported:
Total nonfarm payroll employment for June was revised down by 80,000, from +185,000 to +105,000.
July was revised down by 30,000, from +187,000 to +157,000.
Due to these revisions, employment in June and July combined was actually 110,000 lower than previously reported.
The downward revisions make August look better in comparison, by comparing it to lower numbers in June and July.
The September employment report is scheduled to be released October 6, 2023.

Van Drew: Biden’s Thinking of Sending Migrants to Smaller City with Critical Security Operations to Save a Sanctuary City
On Friday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends,” Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ) reacted to reported plans by the Biden administration to send migrants to Atlantic City International Airport in Egg Harbor Township, NJ by pointing out that the plan is to send migrants to a town of 50,000 people to help alleviate stress on New York City, a city with a population of 8.3 million people that chose to be a sanctuary city and noting the security risks of housing migrants at an airport that has both an FAA Technical Center and the 177th Fighter Wing of the New Jersey Air National Guard.
Van Drew said, “They can’t provide the resources. This is a town of 50,000 people. Atlantic County can’t do it. This town can’t do it. It should have never happened. Hopefully, it won’t happen. We’re going to fight this with every ounce of strength that we have. It is the wrong thing. When we said what was happening at the southern border was going to affect the entire United States of America, this is what happens. It’s not just — I want people that are listening out there [to understand], this is not just an Arizona problem or a Texas problem or a California problem. This is a United States of America problem, and now they want to come into our beautiful county, our beautiful South Jersey, and try to ruin that as well.”
He continued, “There’s also a national defense issue here. This is a very, very important issue to understand. We have the FAA Technical Center there, [which is] doing very important work, some of which is very significant for the safety of this country and air flight and we have our F-16s that are there as part of our defense as well, as part of the Air National Guard, the 177th Fighter Wing.”
Van Drew added, “We don’t want to be a sanctuary airport. If they want to be a sanctuary city in New York City. That’s up to them. It’s hurting the city tremendously, too.”
Did it seem like a lot of illegals entering the country earlier, back when they were massing under that famous bridge in Texas? Back before the hullabaloo about Joe Biden ending Title 42 pandemic restrictions and introducing Title 9?
Record numbers of migrant families streamed across the U.S.-Mexico border in August, according to preliminary data obtained by The Washington Post, an influx that has upended Biden administration efforts to discourage parents from entering illegally with children and could once again place immigration in the spotlight during a presidential race.
The U.S. Border Patrol arrested at least 91,000 migrants who crossed as part of a family group in August, exceeding the prior one-month record of 84,486 set in May 2019, during the Trump administration. Families were the single largest demographic group crossing the border in August, surpassing single adults for the first time since Biden took office.
Overall, the data show, border apprehensions have risen more than 30 percent for two consecutive months, after falling sharply in May and June as the Biden administration rolled out new restrictions and entry opportunities. The Border Patrol made more than 177,000 arrests along the Mexico border in August, up from 132,652 in July and 99,539 in June.
Wait till the weather cools down.
Obviously, something isn't right here. We are looking at catastrophe-level failure of the Biden border approach and the consequences for us are going to be grave.
When Biden lifted Title 42 pandemic restrictions on illegal border crossings last May, he and his minions declared victory over the border surge, and even had a few numbers to prove it. Illegal border crossings, ever so briefly, went down in June.
Biden's spokeswoman, Karine Jean-Pierre, even tried to use that June number to deflect a question about the resumed surge, gaslighting with that earlier number:
That was because so many new means of emigrating to the U.S. through the asylum claim route were opened to migrants beyond normal legal immigration channels -- processing centers for asylum claims up and down Central and even South America, an app that accepted all asylum claims as legitimate called CBPOne, and federally financed busings from Central America all the way across the border, that they went the easier route while it still had slots available.
They had it all under control with that new plan.
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas even issued a stern warning to all who would cross illegally in the wake of these new programs:
"Starting tonight, people who arrive at the border without using a lawful pathway will be presumed ineligible for asylum. We are ready to humanely process and remove people without a legal basis to remain in the U.S. We have 24,000 Border Patrol Agents and Officers at the Southwest Border and have surged thousands of troops and contractors, and over a thousand asylum officers to help enforce our laws. Do not believe the lies of smugglers. The border is not open. People who do not use available lawful pathways to enter the U.S. now face tougher consequences, including a minimum five-year ban on re-entry and potential criminal prosecution. Together with our partners throughout the federal government and Western Hemisphere, we are prepared for this transition."
But after filling up all those questionably legal slots for "legal" entry, illegals took Mayorkas' warning for about as much weight as its worth, and continued to stream over, knowing that if they crossed into the U.S. illegally, they would be permitted to stay. Instead of being sent back, as threatened, they were promptly discharged into the interior of the country, on "parole" with a promise to appear at a local Homeland Security station once they reached their destination of choice.
Word got out. Now we are seeing more illegals than ever, streaming over, knowing that nobody is going to stop them so long as Joe Biden stays president.
I wrote about this as the Robert Moses effect earlier, the fact that building more highways in areas with pent-up demand only leads to more traffic. The same can be said of illegal border crossings, given that some 900 million people worldwide would like to emigrate from their home countries (including more than half of Honduras and just less than half of Ecuador), the majority of whom are seeking to come to the U.S., according to a Gallup survey.
This comes at an unusually inconvenient time for Biden, given that there's an election on, and big city governments are starting to feel the impact of the earlier waves of illegal immigration on Joe Biden's watch, with overcrowded schools, mass retail theft sponsored by Mexico's cartels, and angry city governments facing bankruptcy based on the billions they are shelling out to feed and house the illegals, sometimes shipped there for free by red-state border governors who are overwhelmed with border crossings at the sharp end. Already we have seen historically blue counties switch to red in these border areas. Polls show that even a majority of Democrats are concerned with the unguarded border and lax entry policies into the U.S. According to CNN, there's been a complete breakdown in communication between beleaguered New York City and the Biden administration over its failure to enforce U.S. border and immigration laws. New York is crying 'uncle.'
The Bidenites aren't helping them one iota. They're understaffed by thousands the Border Patrol. They've welded open the border wall in its fragmentary places, and are selling the already purchased raw materials for the wall for scrap. What's more, they've pulled military troops supposedly there to help, although there has been a bit of back and forth on it. There is evidence they've bankrupted FEMA to pay for illegals as they stream in, leaving U.S. citizens in distress, in places like Maui, high and dry.
The only thing they aren't doing is helping.
Now they're getting more. And they're counting on the mainstream media and the American public not to notice.
What kind of operation is this? The great replacement they claim is a conspiracy theory? Seldom has a crisis grown this big without some kind of mitigating response. Instead, all they do is exacerbate it, making it worse than ever. Polls show that most Americans including many Democrats, are getting very concerned about this. With even the Washington Post being forced to notice this, the Bidens just think they can lie it away.
United States voters believe by a 2-1 margin that dealing with the crisis on the southern border is more important than aiding Ukraine to resist Russian invaders, according to a Rasmussen Poll.
The poll surveyed 1,024 likely voters between Aug. 21 and 23, shows that 60 percent of respondents say that “getting the migrant crisis at the U.S. border under control” is more important for national security, while only 30 percent say “supporting Ukraine in its war against Russia” is the more important national security issue. Ten percent were not sure.

More Americans also think that the issues at the southern border are a “crisis.”
Sixty-five percent of voters think the United States–Mexico border is experiencing a “crisis,” while 24 percent say it’s not. Only 11 percent were not sure. These findings are essentially unchanged since May, Rasmussen said.
In other results, respondents felt that Republicans were more capable of handling the border problems, though only by a slight majority. Overall, 45 percent said they trust Republicans more to handle the crisis, while 42 percent still trust the Democrats on the issue. 13 percent were unsure. This has also remained unchanged, as a similar result was found in April.
Drilling down to party split, even 51 percent of Democrats agreed that the border problems are a “crisis.” 84 percent of Republicans agreed with that characterization. Also, 60 percent of respondents who do not identify with either party said the situation at the border is a crisis.
Unsurprisingly, Republicans (81 percent) and Democrats (79 percent) feel their own party can best handle these national security issues. But a majority of those who claim to be unaffiliated gave the GOP the edge, with 42 percent saying Republicans are better positioned to deal with national security, while 31 percent said they trust the Democrats on the issue.
Joe Biden came in for a drubbing on immigration, Rasmussen added. Only 33 percent say he has done a good job on immigration, while 42 percent gave him a poor rating.
There are also similar majorities across racial boundaries on the crisis. 56 percent of white respondents, 65 percent of black respondents, and 68 percent of other minorities say that the southern border is in crisis and is more important to deal with than Ukraine.
The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence.
Border Patrol officials estimate approximately 590,000 migrants got away without being apprehended after illegally crossing the border. This estimate, described as “extremely conservative,” represents about a seven percent increase over the same period last year.
According to a source operating under the umbrella of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Border Patrol officials estimate nearly 590,000 migrants got away without being apprehended since October 1, 2022. During the same period last year, agents reported approximately 550,000 got-aways.
Migrant “got-aways” are an estimate of migrants that are observed crossing the border and are not apprehended. A good number of these are detected by Border Patrol agents being out in the field to make these observations. Some others are observed crossing by camera operators or other detection equipment but no agents are available to make the apprehension. Still others are part of larger groups where only a certain number of the group were apprehended.
The El Paso Sector led the nation with approximately in August with approximately 8,000 got-aways. This was followed by more than 4,500 in the Tucson Sector and 3,500 in the San Diego Sector.
The source reported nearly 26,000 got-aways in August.
In some sectors like the Rio Grande Valley and Del Rio Sectors, officials reported approximately 1,400 and 2,500 respectively. These lower numbers could be a result of overcrowded detainment and processing centers that take agents off the line, the source stated.
The source reports that Border Patrol is holding approximately 20,000 migrants per day in detention and processing centers. This requires extra manpower to feed, care for, and transport these migrants. Also, large migrant group crossings tend to tie up all available resources in order to get the migrants out of the potentially deadly heat along the southwest border in the summer months.
The lower got-away numbers are contrasted by the migrant apprehension rate which approached 180,000 in August, Breitbart Texas reported. The Tucson Sector led the nine southwest border sectors with just under 48,000 migrant apprehensions. This was followed closely by the Rio Grande Valley Sector’s apprehension of slightly more than 46,000 migrants.

WATCH: Large Migrant Group Walks Across Biden Admin’s ‘Closed Border’ into Texas
EAGLE PASS, Texas — In what has become an almost daily occurrence, a large group of more than 100 migrants crossed the Rio Grande just north of Eagle Pass to surrender to awaiting Border Patrol agents during the early morning hours on Friday. Shortly after 4:00 a.m., Breitbart Texas watched as the large group of mostly family unit migrants approached a rallying point staffed by the Border Patrol, where they surrendered to claim asylum.
The migrant group consisted of adult males and females — many carrying infants and toddlers. According to a source within CBP not authorized to speak to the media, large groups have been crossing into the area north of the city daily, at almost the same hour.
“You can almost set your watch to it, around 5:00 am, we expect between 100 and 300 to show up at the same spot daily,” the source says. “We just wait for them, they just keep coming”
In the video, the migrants can be seen crossing a bridge over an irrigation canal just east of the Rio Grande. After fording the river, the migrants are guided to the rally point where the agents take a quick tally of the numbers in the group. On Friday, the agents separated the group based on nationality and family unit status and began taking basic biographical information.
According to the source, the large migrant groups consist of mostly Venezuelan, Cuban, and Nicaraguan citizens. The source told Breitbart the migrants are bringing children with them in hopes of avoiding removal and achieving a quick release into the United States to pursue asylum claims.
According to CBP, the number of migrant families being encountered along the southwest border has nearly doubled in the last several months. In July, more than 60,000 migrant family units were encountered by the Border Patrol nationwide compared to 31,266 in June. The source says the migrants are skilled at gaming any attempts to enforce immigration laws by finding loopholes to avoid removal.
“They realize that we can only detain children and infants for so long before we release them to a non-government shelter, that’s the first step to freedom in the United States,” the source added.
Despite repeated social media messaging by President Biden’s Department of Homeland Security advising the public “The U.S. border is not open to unlawful migration,” more migrant family units entered the country in July than in all of FY2020, when 52,230 were encountered. Between October and July, more than 425,000 migrant family units were encountered by the Border Patrol entering the United States between ports of entry.
According to unofficial reports obtained by Breitbart Texas, Border Patrol agents apprehended just under 180,000 migrants in August, an increase over July, signaling the migrant crossings are not likely to slow down anytime soon.

SOURCE: 180K Migrants Apprehended in August by Border Patrol — Up 2nd Straight Month
Border Patrol agents apprehended just under 180,000 migrants in August, according to unofficial reports obtained by Breitbart Texas. This represents an increase of about 35 percent over July and is just under the total from August 2022.
Border Patrol agents in the nine southwest border sectors encountered more than 179,000 migrants in August. This compares to 132,652 apprehensions in July and 99,539 in June. The August apprehensions also nearly matched the number of apprehensions in August last year.
The August apprehensions bring the year-to-date numbers to slightly more than 1.82 million migrants. This compares to just under 2 million migrant apprehensions during the same period last year.
The Tucson Sector led the nine southwest border sectors with just under 48,000 migrant apprehensions. This was followed closely by the Rio Grande Valley Sector’s apprehension of slightly more than 46,000 migrants.
In July, Tucson Sector agents apprehended 39,215 migrants — up 136 percent over July 2022. The August apprehensions represent an increase of 23 percent from the July Southwest Land Border Encounters report. Since October 1, 2022, Tucson Sector agents apprehended nearly 322,000.
El Paso Sector apprehensions continue to lead the nation in year-to-date numbers with just over 389,000 migrant arrests. The Del Rio Sector remains in second place with just over 347,000 migrant arrests.

While Millions Invade America, DHS Fights the Heat
Heatstroke is now the business of DHS, but border security isn’t.
“You know, when it is 110 degrees outside, your body has to work overtime to cool itself off,” Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas of the Department of Homeland Security began his address to the ‘Extreme Heat Summit’.
With 8,000 attempted invasions by illegal aliens a day and even major cities like New York, Los Angeles and Chicago drowning under the tide of invaders, Mayorkas and DHS took a break to talk about the weather rather than the 2.4 million illegal alien apprehensions in 2022.
“110 degrees is not a nice day at the beach,” Mayorkas pontificated. “Extreme heat is no longer a looming threat in a climate change-driven future. It is an urgent, dangerous, and deadly problem in our country.”
Extreme heat, also known as summer, is normal in states like Florida, Texas and Arizona where Mayorkas ominously warned the population was on the verge of death due to global warming.
The biggest threat to Texas and Arizona isn’t coming from a summer heat wave, but a mass invasion of illegals flooding across the border. Every effort that Texas and Arizona have made to slow down the invasion has been undermined by Mayorkas and his boss who sued Arizona for putting up a wall of shipping containers and Texas for putting barriers on the Rio Grande. While Mayorkas talks about the dangerous weather in Phoenix, Tuscon Sector hit a 15-year high in invaders. Under DHS orders, the invaders have been bused into Phoenix and into small rural towns that have no way to accommodate the tide of illegal aliens being dumped on them.
DHS claims it can’t stop illegal aliens from crossing the border, yet it claims to be able to change the weather. It can stop the illegal aliens, it’s choosing not to, but it can’t change the weather. Not even if it holds ‘Extreme Heat Summits’ every day of the week for a thousand years.
The Department of Homeland Security and Secretary Mayorkas are trading a problem that is their responsibility and that they can solve for a problem that isn’t and that they can’t solve.
The DHS ‘virtual summit’ on ‘extreme heat’ was perfectly timed for the end of summer, and packaged with a “first-of-its-kind resource guide” full of useless suggestions for public officials like appointing a ‘Chief Heat Officer’ to watch the thermometer and sending out ‘Code Red’ alerts warning everyone it’s really hot outside and that they should turn on the air conditioning.
That is not what cities actually want from DHS. Elected officials in New York have begged DHS to do something about the illegal aliens overrunning their cities. Instead, DHS is telling them to turn on the air conditioning in libraries and rename them “resiliency hubs”. This is an idea that no local government could have come up with on its own without DHS’ $100 billion budget.
Meanwhile, illegal border crossings had shot up 30% in July. Around 200 invaders on terrorist watch lists were found and at least one of them was released. An ISIS-linked smuggler was found to have aided Uzbeks in entering the United States. The Uzbeks, coming from a country with one of the highest numbers of ISIS fighters, were released “pending court appearances”. And currently court dates are running from 2032 to 2035 so that may be quite a while away.
The Department of Homeland Security had been formed as a response to 9/11. In the words of the Homeland Security Act, its mission is to “(1) prevent terrorist attacks within the United States; (2) reduce the vulnerability of the United States to terrorism; (3) minimize the damage, and assist in the recovery, from terrorist attacks that occur within the United States”.
The Homeland Security Act does not mention that it’s the role of DHS to police the weather.
So what is DHS currently doing? It’s “addressing climate change” and “uniting for Ukraine”. The last National Terrorism Advisory System Bulletin, much of its reason for existence, was last issued in May 2023. Instead DHS has a blog on “breastfeeding and returning to your workplace” and ‘Risk’ assessments for global warming for areas around the nation.
While Fentanyl is flooding the country, DHS is focused on keeping “illegal HFCs” which provide for better refrigeration out of the country lest someone be able to actually stay cool the way they used to in 1991. Despite ongoing Islamic terrorist plots, including an attempted massacre by a Syrian immigrant in North Dakota, DHS is instead running a “Russia-Ukraine Domestic Preparedness Group” for someone else’s war that is happening 5,000 miles away.
DHS is switching to electric cars, enlisting black colleges to fight global warming and chasing every woke agenda that isn’t its job instead doing the thing that it had been created to do.
“Keeping Americans safe is the highest priority of the entire Biden-Harris Administration, and it is our founding mission here at the Department of Homeland Security. Mitigating the impacts of extreme heat will require all of us, at every level of government, to work together,” Secretary Mayorkas told the heat summit.
Mayorkas claimed that 700 people in this country die every year due to the heat. When asked in Congress how many Americans are killed each year by illegal aliens, however he could not answer the question. And that is because Mayorkas, like Biden, doesn’t care. Heatstroke somehow became the business of DHS, but foreigners invading and killing Americans isn’t.
Keeping Americans high is such a priority that Mayorkas doesn’t even know how many crimes have been committed by the stream of military-age men he is allowing to invade our country.
In April, Francisco Oropeza, an illegal alien who had been deported 4 times, murdered five people, but Mayrokas would rather talk about the weather in Texas than the illegals.
The founding mission of DHS was not the vague one of “keeping Americans safe”, but fighting terrorism. The DHS May bulletin, the last one in months, mentioned mass shootings, while only vaguely referencing an Islamic terror attack in Times Square which it defined as “inspired by a variety of foreign terrorist content” while failing to mention other Islamic terror plots.
DHS not only abandoned that mission, it actively collaborates with the enemy, including holding meetings with CAIR: an unindicted co-conspirator in funding Islamic terrorists, even while it classifies pro-life mothers in rural America as dangerous “domestic extremists”.
When it comes to border security, DHS does the same thing, handing out $77 million to resettle the invaders inside the United States instead of securing the border against them. DHS is not keeping us safe, it’s endangering us, and when it’s not working with Islamic terrorists or moving illegal invaders into the country, it’s lecturing us on global warming.
In July, House Republicans began building an impeachment case against Secretary Mayorkas for “a reckless abandonment of border security and immigration enforcement, at the expense of the Constitution and the security of the United States”.
If they go through with it, Mayorkas will find out what real heat feels like.

FUK JOE BIDEN ALL THE WAY TO GITMO
A ‘poop’ rampage in Wyoming is an important insight into today’s homeless
The headline at the Daily Mail was eye-catching: “Squatters take over Wyoming city: Vagrants leave millions of dollars worth of damage to motel and 500lbs of human feces in downtown area - as Casper fights off a homeless invasion.” It was an image at odds with how we think of Wyoming; that is, a clean, naturally beautifully conservative state. But the homeless plague is everywhere, and the situation in Casper reminds us that most of today’s homeless are not just ordinary people down on their luck; they are dysfunctional drug addicts who are the inevitable result of 60 years of leftist drug policies.
Squatters have taken over a Wyoming city after some left millions of dollars worth of damage to a motel and others left 500lbs of feces in the downtown area.
Casper, the second-largest city in the state, is home to 60,000 residents but now also has about 200 homeless people.
Some have seized various properties that are empty or abandoned, including an abandoned Econo Lodge motel that hasn’t operated since November.
Casper Mayor Bruce Knell described the extent of destruction as akin to ‘third-world-country stuff’.
The remainder of the article explains that the hotel, after suffering water damage, was foreclosed upon and boarded up. However, homeless drug addicts broke into the 300-room hotel and used it as a giant latrine and shooting gallery. The mayor is at his wit’s end:
City officials admit they have run out of ideas with how to effectively deal with the growing numbers of vagrants and note that fines and arrests do not seem to be working when it comes to sorting out the problem.
‘We know very well we cannot litigate our way or arrest our way out of the problem, but our police need some teeth to start dealing with the squatting,’ Mayor Knell said. ‘They’re just causing so many problems.’
‘In desperate times people do desperate things, and unfortunately we’re the ones left having to deal with it,’ he continued.
Did you catch the error in the mayor’s thinking? He says that the homeless people occupying Casper are victims of “desperate times.” But it’s apparent from the destruction in the hotel that these people are not the victims of the Biden economy. These are the same people who have taken over the streets in Seattle, San Francisco, and Los Angeles: They are drug addicts.
One of the things the left has pushed since the 1960s is lax drug policies. Indeed, Biden is contemplating loosening restrictions around pot. But the reason Western culture developed its drug policies wasn’t because every political office was filled with a joy-hating religious fundamentalist. It’s because promiscuous drug use destroys people and, by extension, destroys societies.
Sure, as hippies loved to argue, the Indians used peyote, but they did so in a controlled way through religious ceremonies. What we’ve created now is a bacchanal of substance abuse.
The Daily Mail has reported on what’s become apparent ever since Colorado and Washington state legalized pot: It’s terribly damaging, with links to severe mental health problems, such as depression, bipolar disorder, suicidal ideation, psychotic breaks, and schizophrenia. (That doesn’t even count its role as a gateway drug for other, harder drugs.) Additionally, for every Louis Armstrong and Lee Child who uses pot as a creative engine, there are thousands of people who simply become inert, for pot turns most people into slackers.
Back to Casper: If desperately poor people destroyed by the Biden economy had broken into that hotel, they would have done their best to treat it like a home. They would have created a latrine area outdoors, in the back, and would have preserved the rooms so that they were livable. The people who broke in, though, were merely focused on protecting themselves from the elements while they engaged in the behaviors flowing from their addictions. Their drug use reduced them to animal status.
Casper is experiencing the results of a deliberately created national drug policy intended to destroy America. I have no advice for Casper beyond warehousing these people (literally putting them in a warehouse) and depriving them of drugs. Then, the ones who are still crazy should be institutionalized, while those who are merely dried-out drug addicts should be imprisoned. But basically, one damaged town is just a pebble trying to block the raging stream of an intentionally broken culture. (Having said that, now that I’ve learned that Casper has an LGBTQ+ advisory committee, meaning the city has gone woke, I’m less sorry for it than I was before.)
NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE DEMS' DESTRUCTION OF AMERICA AS THEY FILL THEIR POCKETS!
California Highway Patrol Policing Open Air Drug Use in San Francisco’s Tenderloin District
California Gov. Gavin Newsom is pulling officers from the California highway patrol to San Francisco’s Tenderloin district as part of a multi-agency initiative to crack down on open air drug dealings and drug use.
Since May 30, highway patrol officers have made 100 drug related arrests, CNN reported. In one instance, a highway patrol officer arrested a drug dealer allegedly selling 33 grams of fentanyl which had the potential to kill 16,500 people.
Local authorities have apprehended 300 suspected drug dealers since the protocol changes.
Gov. Newsom’s office announced that California highway patrol officers have seized enough fentanyl to kill 2.1 million — three times the population of San Francisco — since deploying officers to the Tenderloin district since May 1.
Additionally, in the first six weeks of the operation, the CHP seized over 957 grams of methamphetamine, 319 grams of cocaine, and 31 grams of heroin and made 92 felony and misdemeanor arrests – including on charges related to possession of fentanyl, illegal firearm possession, driving under the influence, and domestic violence.
However, many of those arrested on drug dealing and drug use charges are released back onto the streets as soon as their case is filed, according to district attorney Brooke Jenkins, who was elected in 2022. Her office has filed 1,000 drug dealing cases, and she said they have put in motion to detain 200 of the most serious offenders awaiting trial. However, the judges only remanded 17 of those charged, leaving the rest to return to the streets.
“I’m not going to take the blame when my prosecutors are going in and arguing that these people have to remain in custody,” Jenkins told CNN. “The judges are not doing their part and that has to be revealed.”

While overall crime is down by 1 percent when compared to the same period ending in 2022, drug offenses have climbed by 36 percent, the San Francisco Standardreported.
While authorities are releasing most of those charged with drug dealing and drug use; the prison population reached 1,000 for the first time in years last month. Now officials are discussing whether to reopen a jail closed three years ago for being “seismically unsafe, outdated and in disrepair.”
Some have called the arrests made for open drug use simply putting a Band-Aid on the epidemic.
“We can’t fill the jails with people to fuel the political agendas of a few politicians,” Diana Block, a member of the No New SF Jails Coalition told the Standard. “We refuse to turn back the progress that we in San Francisco have fought for for years.”

Piece of Berlin Wall Placed in Mexico near U.S. Border Barrier as ‘Message’
Mexican officials in Tijuana placed a three-ton section of the former Berlin Wall near the U.S. border with a message to “build a society that knocks down walls and builds bridges.” The message ignores the stark difference in purpose between the two barriers.
During a ceremony in August, Tijuana Mayor Montserrat Caballero and former Mexican Foreign Secretary Marcelo Ebrard installed the 12-meter high segment of the fallen Berlin Wall — a wall designed by the former Soviet Union to keep communist-controlled German citizens locked inside and became an icon of the Cold War-era. Guards would frequently use deadly force to stop their citizens from fleeing the oppressive regime.
In sharp contrast, the U.S.-built border barrier is designed to stop the illegal flow of migrants across the border from Mexico into California.

A plaque on the wall segment donated by the Falling Walls Foundation bears a message from Mayor Caballero which reads, in part, “”May this be a lesson to build a society that knocks down walls and builds bridges,” Fox News reported.
Mayor Caballero acknowledged the difference in purpose of the two walls. “The social and political conflict is different than the Berlin Wall, but it’s a wall at the end of the day,” the Tijuana mayor said.
The mayor added that she respects the idea that the U.S. must enforce its own borders. She then added that the U.S. border wall represents “violence” and “family separation.”

She did not explain if a Mexican border wall along its border with Guatemala also represents “violence” and “family separation.”
