LYING JOE BIDEN ATTEMPTS TO REVERSE THE DEVASTATION OF THE BIDEN - MAYORKAS - GEORGE SOROS INVASION - Biden administration waives 26 federal laws to allow border wall construction in South Texas

President Joe Biden’s pro-migration border chief says he will build several more miles of President Donald Trump’s border wall to divert migrants away from several gaps that he has left open since 2021.

The extra miles of border are not intended to stop the job-seeking economic migrants. Instead, Alejandro Mayorkas, the Cuban-born Secretary of Homeland Security, is asking migrants to safely register at the official gates along the border so they can be quickly released into U.S. society.

It is not clear when the extra walls will be built. However, video of the construction can be used by Democrats during the 2024 elections.

Mayorkas’ Department of Homeland Security announced its plans on Wednesday in the government’s Federal Register of Regulations:

There is presently an acute and immediate need to construct physical barriers and roads in the vicinity of the border of the United States in order to prevent unlawful entries into the United States in the project areas pursuant to sections 102(a) and 102(b) of IIRIRA.

The six-page document lists the short gaps but does not state the total length of the wall to be built.

The document says funding to fill the gaps comes from money that was provided by Congress to Trump in 2019.

Mayorkas has had the legal authority and funds to build many miles of wall. But he instead has allowed more than five million wage-cutting, rent-spiking migrants to walk, fly, or sneak across the border since January 2021. In September, for example, media reports said he allowed at least 260,000 migrants across the border.

Mayorkas’ migrants can be used by U.S. employers to replace unwanted older and sicker workers, parents encumbered by children, or Americans with criminal records and drug addictions.

Filling the gaps may reduce Mayorkas’ record number of drowned migrants. Migrant deaths in 2023 are beating records set under Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama.

Biden administration waives 26 federal laws to allow border wall construction in South Texas

McALLEN, Texas — The Biden administration announced on Wednesday that it had waived 26 federal laws in South Texas to allow border wall construction, marking the administration’s first use of a sweeping executive power employed often during the Trump presidency.

The Department of Homeland Security posted the announcement on the U.S. Federal Register with few details outlining the construction in Starr County, Texas, which is part of a busy Border Patrol sector seeing “high illegal entry.” According to government data, about 245,000 illegal entries have been recorded in this region during the current fiscal year.

“There is presently an acute and immediate need to construct physical barriers and roads in the vicinity of the border of the United States in order to prevent unlawful entries into the United States in the project areas,” Alejandro Mayorkas, the DHS secretary, stated in the notice.

The Clean Air Act, Safe Drinking Water Act and Endangered Species Act were some of the federal laws waived by DHS to make way for construction that will use funds from a congressional appropriation in 2019 for border wall construction. The waivers avoid time-consuming reviews and lawsuits challenging violation of environmental laws.

Starr County’s hilly ranchlands, sitting between Zapata and McAllen, Texas, is home to about 65,000 residents sparsely populating about 1,200 square miles (3,108 square kilometers) that form part of the Lower Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife Refuge.

Although no maps were provided in the announcement, a previous map shared during the gathering of public comments shows the piecemeal construction will add up to an additional 20 miles to the existing border barrier system in the area. Starr County Judge Eloy Vera said it will start south of the Falcon Dam and go past Salineño, Texas.

“The other concern that we have is that area is highly erosive. There’s a lot of arroyos,” Eloy Vera, the county judge said, pointing out the creeks cutting through the ranchland and leading into the river.

Concern is shared with environmental advocates who say structures will run through public lands, habitats of endangered plants and species like the Ocelot, a spotted wild cat.

“A plan to build a wall through will bulldoze an impermeable barrier straight through the heart of that habitat. It will stop wildlife migrations dead in their tracks. It will destroy a huge amount of wildlife refuge land. And it’s a horrific step backwards for the borderlands,” Laiken Jordahl, a southwest conservation advocate for the Center for Biological Diversity, said Wednesday afternoon.

During the Trump administration, about 450 miles of barriers were built along the southwest border between 2017 and January 2021. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott renewed those efforts after the Biden administration halted them at the start of his presidency.

The DHS decision on Wednesday contrasts with a Jan. 20, 2021 Biden administration proclamation to end the construction that stated, “building a massive wall that spans the entire southern border is not a serious policy solution.”

U.S. Customs and Border Protection had no immediate comment.

The announcement prompted political debate by the Democratic administration facing an increase of migrants entering through the southern border in recent months, including thousands who entered the U.S. through Eagle Pass at the end of September.

“A border wall is a 14th century solution to a 21st century problem. It will not bolster border security in Starr County,” Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-Texas) said in a statement. “I continue to stand against the wasteful spending of taxpayer dollars on an ineffective border wall.”

Political proponents of the border wall said the waivers should be used as a launching pad for a shift in policy.

“After years of denying that a border wall and other physical barriers are effective, the DHS announcement represents a sea change in the administration’s thinking: A secure wall is an effective tool for maintaining control of our borders,” Dan Stein, president of the Federation for American Immigration Reform, said in a statement. “Having made that concession, the administration needs to immediately begin construction of wall across the border to prevent the illegal traffic from simply moving to other areas of the border.”


The Democrats' Plot to Turn Texas Blue

Maybe you've seen it on FOX: Texas's Governor Abbott (R) declared that an invasion is happening on the southern border and moved to invoke invasion clauses of the U.S. and Texas constitutions to allow him to boost security at the border while clown reporters from lefty newspapers, like the Dallas Observer, disparagingly note that Gov. Abbott continues "invasion" rhetoric as Texas sees an increase in "migrant crossings." 

I was with the U.S. Border Patrol, Del Rio Sector, from the mid-1990s to 2000, when Governor George Bush deployed Texas state troopers and the National Guard to Eagle Pass to repel the drug cartels' attempt to flood Texas with drugs.  Their strategy to remove Border Patrol Agents from the border was effective.  An overwhelming number of "migrants" would be sent across the border en masse to force Border Patrol agents to apprehend and transport the illegal aliens to a U.S. Border Patrol station.  With all of the Eagle Pass station agents being pulled out of the field to process the apprehended illegal aliens, the drug cartels were provided an open border to move drugs and contraband into the United States.  For several days, they flooded the area with drugs.

Governor Bush put state troopers and the National Guard on the border to stop the cartels' incursion into Texas, and equilibrium on the border was restored.  Back in those days, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency, U.S. Customs, and the Border Patrol worked with the Mexican Federal Police and were active in attacking the drug cartels from the Mexico side of the border.  Once the drug cartels were defeated, there were sufficient Border Patrol agents to handle the influx of aliens who crossed the border illegally. 

Today, thoroughly corrupt Democrat party leadership facilitate Central and South American drug cartels' goals while non-governmental organizations, funded by the likes of George Soros, bankroll the movement of noncombatants into America for other purposes.  It is a rare reporter who can get the rest of the story on the nightly news of what is happening on the border.

Not only are U.S. immigration laws being ignored, but the U.S. border is being purposely unsecured.  Unlike the border activity in 1995–2000, where the drug cartels moved their drugs virtually unfettered into Texas in a small window of opportunity, today's cartels have no real threat to their operation.  But for some, the most important activity occurring on the border is that the preponderance of illegal crossers are military-age men.  The Democrat party and their friends are facilitating an invasion of potential combatants into Texas.

Is this movement of military-age men into America happening all across the southern border?  You will not get a legitimate answer from any of the news outlets for a number of reasons.  Whenever one gets too close to the truth, the media town criers shout from their network offices: conspiracy theories. 

The French novelist Renaud Camus wrote You Will Not Replace Us.  Wikipedia describes him as a conspiracy theorist, a white nationalist writer, and the inventor of the Great Replacement.  His observations beginning in 1996 suggested that a "global elite" was colluding against the white population of France to replace them with non-European peoples.  If you were to look at France today and the country's changing demographics, Camus is more Nostradamus than Henny Penny.  

The conspiracy theory wasn't a conspiracy at all.  Camus's words were simply leading indicators of the observable universe.  Nearly thirty years later, does anyone truly believe that France is winning the battle with its illegal aliens from North Africa, who have no desire to assimilate?  France's path is clear: if the French wish to survive, their only recourse and salvation is to expel their treasonous liberal leaders from power and deport the invaders.  And France will not do that.  It is lost.

There is a lesson in there.  More illegal immigration will eventually yield the desired socialist outcome.  When that occurs, all that will be necessary is to switch the French Tricolor with the green flag of the Muslim Brotherhood.

When that occurs, if there is still a NATO, will France still be a member?  Doubtful, but this is the nature of power politics and the power of Replacement Theory.

In the United States, Democrats have also embraced the Great Replacement using illegal aliens.  Their goal is to flip a hard red Texas.  However, Governor Abbott bussed a preponderance of military-age illegal aliens out of Texas to Democrat-run hellholes in California that identify as "sanctuary cities."  This is called changing the dynamic.  In the other, now increasingly hard red state of Florida, Governor DeSantis moves military-age illegal aliens out to those wonderful Democrat-run garden spots, like Philadelphia and New York City, that also identify as welcoming-arms and "sanctuary cities." 

Suddenly, New York and California don't like "migrants" in their sanctuary cities.  ¡No más!

It is hard not to recognize how the Democrat Party is using the power of government to displace white Americans, à la Zimbabwe, from government and industry positions.  Led by virulent racists, these men implement or seek to implement policies of race over merit, advocating to remove white men from the Pentagonremove white men from the cockpits of military jets, and even remove white men from the make-up of military flight school classes.  The failure at Laughlin Air Force Base, where I once worked, was predictable and laughable. 

These are just a sample of the Democrats' new Great Replacement policies for Texas, Florida, the Pentagon. 

The Great Replacement of states and the extermination of white men from the Pentagon will be a battle.  The House voted to strip defense secretary Lloyd Austin of salary, at least for the moment, as the Senate confirmed C.Q. Brown as chairman of the Joint Chiefs.  America loses with these losers.

If a Republican becomes president, there is a reasonable expectation that the Democrats' Great Replacement strategy will be shut down, that there will be a border wall, illegals in the country will be rounded up and deported — you know, like Border Patrol Agents doing their job, and the incompetent racists from DOD, Austin and Brown, will be summarily purged if they do not immediately resign.

Before President Obama, presidents, the chairmen of the Joint Chiefs, and the secretaries of defense used to be focused on improving the combat capability and air superiority of America.  First President Obama, then President Biden found it was much more important to maintain political power at whatever cost.  Under Democrat party leadership, improving America's combat capability and national security has now been replaced with open borders, inviting military-age men to infiltrate America and embark on a program to erase white men from the Pentagon.  Any way you look at that, that is the definition of industrial sabotage of a nation.

No longer do we just have American traitors, like the greatest Soviet spy Moscow ever had in Alger Hiss.  Hiss engaged in industrial espionage to undermine America, and he copied the most sensitive State Department secrets for Joe Stalin's eyes.  Now we have traitors who ignore our laws, open our borders to illegals for no other purpose but to alter the balance of political power of red states, and advocate discriminatory policies to lessen the combat capability of the United States. 

Over a year ago, I advocated that Lloyd Austin needed to be fired.  Likewise C.Q. Brown.  A virulent racist advocating for the destruction of the DOD through an arbitrary and capricious policy of eliminating people who do not look like him, Brown is a national embarrassment and should never have been confirmed.  He should be wearing an orange jumpsuit and flipflops, not the uniform of an Air Force general.

Hawley Issues Workaround to Biden Policy: Let States Deport Illegal Aliens

To get around President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) lax enforcement of federal immigration law, Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) has issued a plan that would authorize states to deport illegal aliens and help build barriers along the United States-Mexico border.

On Wednesday, Hawley announced the “State Border Defense Act” which would, among other things, allow individual states to deport illegal aliens that local law enforcement encounters.

“Our southern border is overrun. Joe Biden’s dangerous open-border policies are making it worse every single day, leaving states like Missouri to deal with the consequences,” Hawley said in a statement.

In addition, the legislation would authorize states to fund the construction of physical barriers along the southern border. States would also be allowed to prosecute illegal aliens for crimes they commit by crossing the border.

“Since the federal government refuses to enforce our immigration laws, states must be able to,” Hawley said.

Allowing states to deport illegal aliens would be a game-changer in terms of turning around the Biden administration’s historically low annual total of deportations.

In the first nine months of the Biden administration, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents deported only 16,351 illegal aliens arrested by local police departments — a 70 percent drop compared to 2019.

Meanwhile, very few of the tens of thousands of border crossers and illegal aliens released into the U.S. interior every month by the Biden administration are being put into deportation proceedings.

Among a subset of those released from the border into the U.S. by the Biden administration, fewer than 20 percent have been given a Notice to Appear (NTA) before a federal immigration judge.

Failed: New York City is a Collective Slum

Now that New York City is, as a result of its own decision to become a sanctuary city for illegal migrants, suffering a widespread housing shortage, its slumlord-in-chief (Mayor Eric Adams) proposes to address the problem with single room occupancy (SRO) accommodations.

Adams is proposing rules that allow for new single-room occupancy (SRO) housing, a type of dorm-style apartment complex where tenants have their own private studios but typically share kitchens and bathrooms.

This article in Nextcity.org elaborates,

Today, SROs are often referred to as modern-day tenements: Substandard, overcrowded, dark firetraps that represent the worst housing the city has to offer.

There is a direct connection between these tenements and illegal migrants, emphasis is mine.

Largely concentrated in the far-flung reaches of Queens, the Bronx, and eastern Brooklyn, many of the residents of these illegal spaces are immigrants–often undocumented… Essentially, unless you’re living in a multi-million dollar penthouse, all of New York City is a slum.

What, meanwhile, is the difference between a slumlord and New York's City Council? Slumlords accept only tenants who pay the rent, while NYC squanders $300 a day on hotel rooms for illegal migrants who pay nothing. New York City is an outhouse, and I am using the family-friendly version of the word Donald Trump was accused of using to describe certain countries, that forced a 95 year-old veteran of the Korean War out of his nursing home to make room for illegal migrants while it seeks to reintroduce tenement housing for working Americans. In fairness to landlords, some try to keep their places clean and safe but others do not.

Also, in fairness to millions of people who have the misfortune to work and pay taxes in New York City, "outhouse" refers to its irresponsible governance rather than its legal inhabitants. If you wait tables, work a factory job, or practice a useful trade in New York, you may have to pay hundreds of dollars a month for a substandard, overcrowded, dark firetrap. If you're an illegal migrant who is unwilling to follow our country's rules to apply for asylum because you know you are not eligible for asylum, New York's City Council will put you up in a $300 hotel room with its own toilet and bathing facilities. In fact, if you're a citizen or legal immigrant who is working one or more jobs to make ends meet, you might do better to identify as an illegal migrant to get the free hotel room. As New York is a sanctuary city, you will not be questioned further and Immigration and Naturalization Services (INS) will not be notified.

It is telling, meanwhile, that even New York's Democrat Governor, Kathy Hochul, has had enough. "The governor said [the right to shelter law] was never meant to ensure 'an unlimited, universal right or obligation on the city to have to house literally the entire world.'"

Who Wants to Live, Work, or Do Business in a Giant Slum?

Suppose you've just finished high school or college, and you want to go work somewhere. Why should you work in a giant tenement where you have to pay a third or even more of your income to live in a SRO, and also pay New York's inflated prices for food and every other necessity?

Suppose you're an employer, and New York City's diversion of money from its police department to $300 hotel rooms for illegal migrants means looters feel free to trash your workplace like swarms of locusts devastating a farmer's field. When arrests were made, NYC usually dropped the charges or downgraded them to minor misdemeanors that carry no jail time. Even if your insurance covers the losses, the insurance companies will raise premiums throughout the entire area due to the obviously higher risk. Insurance may or may not cover losses due to business interruptions such as having to clean up the broken glass and smashed display cases, and replace the merchandise the looters and vandals have ruined only to have the looters come back to clean you out again.

Target has in fact closed numerous stores in failed Democrat-run cities whose names are closely associated with Black Lives Matter-related riots. "The stores set to close include one in Harlem, N.Y; two in Seattle, Wash.; three near San Francisco and Oakland, Calif.; and three in Portland, Ore." The reasons cited include organized retail theft, but it's to be noted that the perpetrators are far less likely to try this in a small town which is where employers ought to move their facilities and their workers.  

Move It to a Small Town

It is also to be noted that the median rent in San Francisco is $2,200 a month or $26,400 a year which is unaffordable by anybody who works an entry level job. San Francisco's high living costs have resulted in an $18.07 an hour minimum wage, which buys about what $10.10 an hour  ($18.07 divided by 1.79) buys in flyover country where supposed bitter, small town people cling to guns and religion. Now, if you're an employer, you have to squander an additional $8 an hour plus employment taxes, and add that waste to the cost of whatever goods or services you create, but it doesn't buy your workers more actual value. If you move the jobs to flyover country or a small town, and pay your entry level people $12 an hour, that's a de facto 20 percent pay increase because it buys $12 of goods and services as opposed to the $10 or so that $18 an hour buys in San Francisco. The same principle applies, of course, to New York where $20 an hour buys what $8.77 an hour buys in a small town.

To put this in perspective, $71,924 a year buys in NYC what $30,000 a year buys in Columbia, Tennessee, the small town in Jason Aldean's video. If you're the employer, your $30,000 job costs almost $72,000 if you move it to NYC, and your employee doesn't get a better standard of living for his or her money. You're also paying more to own or rent real estate in NYC, and you also have New York State's and NYC's inflated income taxes. Intelligent customers will realize, meanwhile, that the cost of this waste is built into the price of anything they buy from New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and other pay-more-get-less outhouse cities.

This should put to rest any further questions as to whether the Democrat party is still the party of the working American and the senior citizen. New York's slumlords, and I mean its Mayor and City Council, propose to house working people in "Substandard, overcrowded, dark firetraps that represent the worst housing the city has to offer" while they squander $300 a day on hotel rooms for illegal migrants, and divert money from senior citizen meal programs for this purpose as well. When working Americans wake up to this fact, and more and more are doing so every day, we can look forward to a Red tidal wave in 2024 that will put the House, Senate, and presidency in responsible hands.

PERHAPS THE REASON WHY SO FEW CAN AFFORD HOUSING IS BECAUSE OF NAFTA JOE MASSIVE INVASION OF 10 MILLION ! MORE ! ILLEGALS!

Keep those state populations in mind every time you hear or read

that, since January 2021, the Democrat Biden politburo has

allowed seven-million-plus illegal aliens to enter the United States

of America. This is a staggering number of people who have been

allowed to illegally waltz into the United States, with more invading

every day (and these are just the ones in the official count).

Sheriff Sounds Alarm on Gangs of Illegal Aliens Getting into U.S. through Border to Burglarize Americans

NCPD/SVPD/GSPD

A sheriff in Michigan is sounding the alarm over a rise in gangs of illegal aliens getting into the United States for the sole purpose of burglarizing Americans.

Oakland County, Michigan Sheriff Michael Bouchard, as well as other law enforcement agencies across the U.S., is warning that illegal aliens from the southern border are burglarizing members of their communities at an increasing rate.

“These are transnational gangs that are involved in this that come from South America, looking to do burglaries and violate our communities, not just in Oakland County but across America,” Bouchard said.

In particular, Bouchard said the gangs of illegal aliens “are going after jewelry, high-end purses and watches, currency and safes.”

“They sell these things for 20 to 30 cents on the dollar to fences, who then re-sell this in a variety of ways. They typically hit homes from 5 to 9 p.m., they seem to want houses where nobody’s home and they usually come in through windows in the back,” he continued.

Deep blue states, Bouchard said, that have eliminated bail for criminal suspects have made the matter even worse.

“They typically establish a residence near locations they wish to target. They do a lot of surveillance, we believe, before they commit a crime, Bouchard said:

Usually, it’s two or three people working together, with one of them stationed outside as a driver … around the country, in some situations, they’ve been caught in areas with no bail anymore, and they get out and then get arrested again. The prosecutor in one case I happen to know about, in Nassau County, New York, said they actually laughed at her as they walked out of court. [Emphasis added]

For years, Breitbart News has chronicled the rise in illegal alien gangs that are arriving in the U.S. only to burglarize Americans.

In January 2022, the Washington Post detailed how a number of foreign nationals from South America arriving through the Visa Waiver Program were found to be targeting wealthy Asian Americans in the suburbs of Washington, DC.

A few months later, in Ventura County, California, local law enforcement warned that foreign nationals from Chile were arriving on B-2 tourist visas only to rob Americans in their homes. In 2021, alone, the county documented about 100 cases.

In October 2022, a group of illegal aliens from South America who had been released into the U.S. interior by President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) were arrested for allegedly burglarizing wealthy New Yorkers of Indian descent in Long Island.

Likewise, just this year, two illegal aliens in Gulf Shores, Alabama, were arrested for allegedly burglarizing a jewelry store. Both men are linked to a theft ring out of South America.

The Asylum Loophole Morass

The catastrophe rages on.

[Make sure to read Joseph Klein’s contributions in Jamie Glazov’s new book: Barack Obama’s True Legacy: How He Transformed America.]

The American people are suffering the dire consequences of President Biden’s disastrous open border, catch and release immigration policies. The number of migrants crossing the border into the United States unlawfully has spiked to near-record levels in recent weeks. The final tally of migrant apprehensions this fiscal year, which ended on September 30th, is likely to match, if not exceed, the whopping 2.2 million apprehensions in fiscal year 2022.

Every day, thousands of migrants are seen making their way into the United States without any interference by border agents, who have been relegated to processing the new arrivals rather than enforcing the nation’s immigration laws. After being processed, many of the asylum-seeking migrants who claim “refugee” status are released and provided the means to travel to cities and towns throughout the United States. They are allowed to remain in the United States while awaiting their asylum hearings, which could be years down the road.

Hobbling border agents from performing their real law enforcement duties heightens the risk to the American people’s security from terrorists, violent criminals, and human and drug traffickers who manage to get into the country under the guise of seeking asylum. The severe drain on local resources undermines the American people’s well-being.

The Biden administration’s response is three-fold. First, senior Biden administration officials deny that there is a border crisis and try to assure the American people that President Biden is doing everything he can to keep things under control. Second, they claim that the immigration system has been broken for a long time, which could be fixed if Congress would just pass the comprehensive immigration legislation proposed by President Biden. Third, they blame the Trump administration and Republicans in general for whatever immigration problems do exist at the border.

“The President has done everything and is going to continue what —to do what he can,” White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said at a press briefing on September 21st. “This is a broken immigration system. This is why the President, on his first day, put forth a comprehensive piece of legislation to try to deal with this immigration system.”

President Biden’s idea of a “comprehensive” reform of the immigration system is to provide the millions of illegal immigrants residing in the United States a path to citizenship – i.e., blanket amnesty.

New York Democratic Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez made an absurd comparison of the current immigration crisis with the waves of immigrants passing through Ellis Island more than a century ago. “When it comes to people coming to New York City today, are nothing, I’m telling you, nothing, compared to the daily amounts of people that we saw coming in through Ellis Island in the first half of this century,” AOC said.

Putting aside AOC’s mistaken reference to this century rather than the previous centuries when the migration waves through Ellis Island took place, AOC has misused the Ellis Island saga to minimize the catastrophe we are facing today.

Approximately 12 million immigrants who entered the United States legally through Ellis Island, the U.S.’s primary official port of entry over a 62-year period between 1892 and 1954, were processed in an orderly manner. During the peak years -1900 to 1914 – the average number of immigrants passing through Ellis Island daily to be processed was approximately 1,900. The immigrants were screened for health, character, and financial solvency before being admitted into the country.

Not so today. The chaotic situation at the southern border on President Biden’s watch caused by his reckless open border immigration policies has metastasized throughout the country, including to New York City.

More than 118,800 migrants released by the Biden administration have arrived in New York City in the last 18 months, overwhelming the ability of the city to provide them with shelter, food, and medical care, as well as education for migrant children. The tab for all this care is in the billions of dollars, projected to reach as high as $12 billion over the next three years, which will fall most heavily on New York taxpayers.

AOC’s comparison of the legal immigrants’ arrival and processing at Ellis Island to the illegal immigration crisis today is outrageous enough, but her fellow Massachusetts Democrat Squad member Rep. Ayanna Pressley is even more out of touch with reality.

“No doubt about it, our border is secure,” Rep. Pressley said in a recent CNN interview. CNN host Jake Tapper could not believe his ears. “If you have people crossing the border, it’s just by definition not secure,” Tapper said. “It just seems like just such a refusal to acknowledge reality to say that the border is secure when we all know millions of people are crossing the border illegally every year.”

Even CNN is finally beginning to acknowledge the obvious.

The system for declaring refugee status for the purpose of being granted an asylum hearing in the United States is completely broken. It is full of loopholes that smugglers trafficking illegal immigrants into the country have exploited in a multi-billion-dollar business since President Biden took office.

The smugglers and left-wing pro-open border advocates instruct immigrants trying to get into the United States what to say in pressing their claims for asylum as “refugees.” In most cases their claims turn out to be bogus. But that does not matter since the horse is already out of the barn. The Biden administration generally releases phony asylum claimants, rather than detain them. They can then reside freely in the country until their asylum cases are heard. That can take years to happen. Deterrence has gone by the wayside.

The Biden administration’s refusal to use former President Donald Trump’s successful Remain in Mexico policy in lieu of catch and release has lured many illegal immigrants to try their luck by playing the asylum card. The Biden administration has done nothing to effectively expedite the filtering out of questionable asylum claimants at the border and immediately remove them from the country. But the fundamental problem with asylum claims is deeper than just trying to deter and control the flood of claimants. The fundamental problem is the statutory definition of a “refugee” for the purposes of qualifying for asylum status. Its ambiguity invites gross manipulation.

The term “refugee” as defined in the Immigration and Nationality Act (“INA”) includes “any person who is outside any country of such person’s nationality or, in the case of a person having no nationality, is outside any country in which such person last habitually resided, and who is unable or unwilling to return to, and is unable or unwilling to avail himself or herself of the protection of, that country because of persecution or a well-founded fear of persecution on account of race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion.”

This definition tracks the definition of “refugee” set forth in the 1951 United Nations Refugee Convention, as amended in 1967. The drafters of the Refugee Convention wanted to ensure against a repeat of the refusal by countries, including the United States, to admit persons fleeing the Nazis’ slaughters and persecution during World War II. Top of mind was someone who had been persecuted by an oppressive government or its agents or had good reason to fear such persecution if that person returned to his or her home country.

Victims of domestic or gang violence or of discrimination, and people facing economic hardship, may well have good reasons to seek a better life elsewhere. However, those reasons should not be considered legitimate grounds to be eligible for refugee status and asylum in another country. But progressive pro-immigration advocates have pushed successfully for an expansive interpretation that conforms with their liberal open border policies.

It has gotten to the point, for example, where a physically abused woman from Guatemala was able to qualify for asylum in the United States as a member of “a particular social group” of “married women in Guatemala who are unable to leave their relationship.” This sad situation revolved around criminal acts that were committed by one spouse against another within the context of a private domestic relationship. But there was no link established directly to government action in the country where the violence occurred, nor to any deliberate neglect by the government of its duties to stop the violence that was alleged to be persecution. But such distinctions have been set aside by overly broad interpretations of the grounds for asylum that have given the benefit of the doubt to the asylum seekers. The floodgates have been opened to hordes of migrants who have left their countries of origin seeking a better life and have claimed asylum under false pretenses.

The United Kingdom’s Home Secretary Suella Braverman delivered a searing critique of the current asylum framework under the UN Refugee Convention in a speech that she delivered to the American Enterprise Institute late last month. Migrants are “gaming the asylum system to their advantage,” she explained, adding that unless the “definition of who qualifies for protection” as a refugee eligible for asylum is tightened, “huge incentives for illegal migration” will continue. That warning applies to the definition of “refugee” in the Immigration and Nationality Act as well.

The House of Representatives passed the Secure the Border Act of 2023 last May, which takes steps to fix this problem by imposing sensible new limits on asylum eligibility. For example, it raises the threshold of proof before an asylum officer can find that the asylum-seeker has a “credible fear” of persecution and expands the kinds of crimes that could disqualify a migrant from being granted asylum. The bill also provides a more precise definition of “persecution” and lists several exclusions from the definition, including “generalized harm or violence that arises out of civil, criminal, or military strife in a country.”

Unfortunately for the American people, the Republican House majority’s attempt to close the glaring loopholes in the current immigration law’s asylum provisions has run into a brick wall in the Democrat-controlled Senate and at the Biden White House. And the illegal immigration catastrophe rages on.

House of Horrors: 11 Illegal Aliens Among Men Accused of Gang Raping Girls in Small Minnesota Town

Oscar Ernesto Luna / House of Horrors: 11 Illegal Aliens Among Men Accused of Gang Raping Girls in Small Minnesota Town
Hennepin County Jail

At least 11 illegal alien men are accused of having been involved in a house of horrors in the small town of Bemidji, Minnesota, where at least three young girls were drugged, tied up, and gang raped, according to local law enforcement.

Late last month, an 11-year-old girl presented herself at the Sanford Bemidji Medical Center’s Emergency Department to report that she had been sexually assaulted. The case was then turned over to the Bemidji Police Department where officers began looking for the residence where the alleged sexual assault occurred.

Police soon identified a residence at 1821 America Court NW in Bemidji as the location of the alleged sexual assault. The victim said she was staying with an adult male relative when he put her in a car with other men and she had a bag put over her head.

The men allegedly brought the victim to the residence at 1821 America Court NW, pushed her down a flight of stairs, forced her to consume alcohol, and tied her up. The victim alleges a man nicknamed “Panda,” later identified as 22-year-old Oscar Ernesto Luna of Mission, Texas, raped her while four men watched.

The victim said she was then gang raped by an unknown number of men.

Police said the victim described a house of horrors where another young girl was tied up and unconscious in a closet of the bedroom and that a 16-year-old girl was also tied up. Two other girls were also tied up, the victim said, as she was gang raped.

Luna, whom police identified through specific tattoos, was arrested on a warrant out of Hennepin County and also charged with first-degree criminal sexual conduct.

In addition, police said many men were found at the residence when they raided it — including 11 illegal aliens who were turned over to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

Police have said the investigation is ongoing.

Michael Savage: Alex Marlow’s ‘Breaking Biden’ Is a ‘Mindblower,’ ‘Frightening’

Conservative talk radio legend Michael Savage lavished praised on Breitbart Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow’s new book Breaking Biden: Exposing the Hidden Forces and Secret Money Machine Behind Joe Biden, His Family, and His Administrationdescribing the painstakingly-researched manuscript as a “mindblower.”

Savage made the laudatory remarks ahead of a wide-ranging interview with Marlow about the book.

“It’s an important book, and I’m going to read you something from the book jacket about ‘Breaking Biden: Exposing the Hidden Forces and Secret Money Machine Behind Joe Biden, His Family, and His Administration.’ It’s a mindblower,” Savage declared.


“We learn over [Biden’s] 50-year career lifer, Joey-boy Biden, has become known for his gaffes, lies, and general creepiness. But Marlow says it’s not his policies failing or his absolute lack of accountability that has lead to his historically-low poll numbers,” the radio veteran continued. “It’s the presumption that something more insidious is lying under the surface, and this book is a crash of lighting exposing the Biden political machine in a way that was previously unknown. I can’t wait to learn what [Marlow] exposes. The secret cadre of consultants running Joe’s world, how Joe sold America’s intellectual property to Communist China, how the whole Biden family bagged cash off the family name.”

“This is unbelievable, this is unreal,” he concluded.

Listen to Savage’s complete interview with Marlow here.

On Tuesday, Marlow released a report detailing one of the book’s revelations: that the China-linked University of Delaware’s partnership with President Joe Biden was known as the “baby” of the president’s embattled son Hunter Biden and was part of the family’s “wealth creation” strategy.

Marlow writes:

While media reports have focused University of Pennsylvania’s Biden Center, less attention has been paid to University of Delaware’s Biden Institute, even though these two “institutes” were opened on the same day and meant to serve a shared goal of being incubators of advancing globalism and leftism. The UPenn Biden Center became a pipeline for longtime Biden allies into his administration, and, as previously reported by Peter Schweizer, proceeded a suspicious influx in Chinese donations to the university.

[…]

On December 11, 2018, the University of Delaware announced that it was naming its public policy school after Vice President Biden. Emails show that this move was orchestrated by members of UD’s Biden Institute. It was on the day of the announcement that Hunter Biden received a text message from his aunt and former Joe Biden campaign manager, Valerie Owens (who chairs the Biden Institute), crediting him for the deepening partnership with between the Biden family and the university: “Bravo Hunter—UD was your baby and you made sure I was part of it.”

Even before the release of Breaking Biden, the book was already raising eyebrows from high-profile figures in the media, including Fox News’ Sunday Morning Futures host Maria Bartiromo.

Speaking with Bartiromo, Marlow implied that a Chinese firm getting our strategic oil reserves makes little or no sense save for the fact that there is a connection with Hunter Biden.

“There is no reason for Chinese to get U.S. [strategic] oil aside from to benefit the commercial interest of the Biden family,” Marlow judged.

“This is so stunning, Alex,” Bartiromo responded.

Breaking Biden is available now in hardcover, eBook, and audiobook read by the author.


 

BIDEN PARTNERS WITH MEXICO TO ORCHESTRATE ANOTHER MASSIVE MEX INVASION OF DEM VOTING ILLEGALS.

https://mexicanoccupation.blogspot.com/2020/11/the-biden-amnesty-and-mexicos-planned.html

"Mexican president candidate Andrés Manuel López Obrador called for mass immigration to the United States, declaring it a "human right". We will defend all the (Mexican) invaders in the American," Obrador said, adding that immigrants "must leave their towns and find a life, job, welfare, and free medical in the United States."

"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.

If you're eligible to vote, show up at the ballot box for those who can't: https://t.co/VbrfuqVy9Ppic.twitter.com/knU2qFSYmn

— Kamala Harris (@KamalaHarris) November 1, 2020

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

— Breitbart News (@BreitbartNews) October 28, 2020

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.”


Illegal Alien Invasion from Sea to Shining Sea!

What do Massachusetts and Tennessee have in common? These two unique states each have a current population of 7 million people. Then there’s Arizona, which is slightly larger, with 7.3 million, while Ohio is just a bit smaller, with 6.8 million population.

Keep those state populations in mind every time you hear or read that, since January 2021, the Democrat Biden politburo has allowed seven-million-plus illegal aliens to enter the United States of America. This is a staggering number of people who have been allowed to illegally waltz into the United States, with more invading every day (and these are just the ones in the official count).                           

Americans of all political factions are angry that seven-million-plus illegal aliens have strolled into our country since Joey took office. Who knows how many more will be here before the year is over…in fact before you finish reading this column? They are eager to enjoy Marxist Democrat hospitality: free lodging, free medical, free food, free education, free iPhones, free…free…free. In some states, the welcome also includes driver’s licenses, voting privileges, and work permits.

How much are you as American citizens getting for free?

How much are our valiant veterans getting for free?

Are you getting anything free when utilities send rate increase notices? Does the supermarket give you anything for free when grocery shopping? Can you get a free gallon of gas at the service station?

Elected congressional officials and their staffs of all parties are supposed to represent the American people and our nation’s sovereignty. However, many seem more concerned about Ukraine’s borders, with only a few doing little more than paying lip service about the horrors taking place at America’s open southern border. From human trafficking to drug infestation, Republicans (from moderate to MAGA) should gather together at the Texas southern border and stand in solidarity with the heroic efforts of Texas Governor Greg Abbott, who is doing his best to stop the invasion at the Rio Grande that borders Mexico.

Please do not tell me that the wall should have been completed during the Trump presidency. We would then have to discuss how two leadership RINOs (Republicans in Name Only)—Speaker of the House Paul Ryan and Senate Leader Mitch McConnell—did their best with fellow RINOs (also referred to as “Vichy Republicans”) to thwart the Trump agenda, which included building and repairing the border wall.

The Marxist Democrat Biden administration appears to have little to no concern about the invasion at our southern border. Its time and our money are spent indicting President Trump on ridiculous charges and arresting Patriots who peacefully walked into the U.S. Capitol on January 6, often through doors held open by U.S. Capitol Police. It seems our government doesn’t want to know anything about the seven-million-plus illegal aliens entering our country.

However, American Patriots want to know if these illegal aliens:

  • Were released from prisons and mental hospitals and instructed to go to the United States?
  • Were trained in sabotage ready to destroy our electric grid? Water supply? Food supply? Rail lines? Communications systems?
  • Are part of a drug cartel?
  • Are participating in human trafficking?
  • Are waiting for instructions to start armed protests as we’ve seen occur in other nations invaded by illegal aliens?

It would also be good to know how much the U.S. federal government spends to send (by plane, train, and bus) illegal aliens to cities (not Blue cities, obviously) throughout the United States.

To many Americans, the only thing the often-incoherent Joe Biden wants to know is where he can dump seven-million-plus illegal. The Biden administration’s goal is to spread the illegal alien invasion from sea to shining sea.

Maybe, just maybe, though, the tide is turning back to Patriotism.

Recently re-elected Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson, who is black, announced he is switching to Republican. In his Wall Street Journal op-ed announcing the political party change Johnson wrote:

Our cities desperately need the genuine commitment to these principles (as opposed to the inconsistent, poll-driven commitment of many Democrats) that has long been a defining characteristic of the GOP.  

In other words, American cities need Republicans—and Republicans need American cities. When my political hero Theodore Roosevelt was born, only 20% of Americans lived in urban areas. By the time he was elected president, that share had doubled to 40%. Today, it stands at 80%. As America’s cities go, so goes America.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams, who is black, recently exclaimed at a town hall meeting:

Let me tell you something New Yorkers, never in my life have I had a problem that I did not see an ending to—I don’t see an ending to this. This issue will destroy New York City.

Joe Biden doesn’t seem to care. Or perhaps, as many have observed, Biden doesn’t have the mental ability to care. Die Weltwoche, a popular weekly Swiss newspaper that has been published since 1933, recently interviewed Tucker Carlson, who said in an article entitled, “They’re All Afraid”:

 ...Joe Biden has dementia. He's not capable of speaking a complete sentence much less running the largest organization in human history, which is the US government. The whole premise is ridiculous, and now they're telling us? He's 80 years old. He can barely speak. He can barely walk. And he's going to run, again, for president of the United States while there's a war going on? The whole thing is so demented that we're moving to the point where they're not trying to convince anybody. They're just trying to suppress and arrest people who ask questions. They've arrested dozens of people, of political opponents, not for committing crimes, but for opposing them in the past month. Dozens in the past month. 

Alarmed Americans are watching in horror as seven-million-plus illegal invade the United States of America from sea to shining sea, equaling either Massachusetts or Tennessee. Should Americans conclude that the Democrat Biden administration (with its two-tiered justice system) goal is to destroy America’s Judeo-Christian constitutional republic?

Today, call, write, or phone your representative and two senators and respectfully but firmly demand that Congress “close the damn border!

PERHAPS THE REASON WHY SO FEW CAN AFFORD HOUSING IS BECAUSE OF NAFTA JOE MASSIVE INVASION OF 10 MILLION ! MORE ! ILLEGALS!

Keep those state populations in mind every time you hear or read

that, since January 2021, the Democrat Biden politburo has

allowed seven-million-plus illegal aliens to enter the United States

of America. This is a staggering number of people who have been
