DEPORT MAYORKAS' CUBAN ASS BACK TO GITMO!
Illegal Alien Invader Released by Biden Heads to Congress w/Machete
Open borders has consequences.
Biden has a red line when it comes to open borders. In the border negotiations with Congress, Biden refused to abandon the policy of freeing illegal alien invaders on their own recognizance to stay in America until their court dates arrive in the 2030s.
That sort of thing has consequences that reaches all the way to Congress.
A man who was arrested last week for carrying a machete and a knife outside the U.S. Capitol is an illegal immigrant from Venezuela that federal border authorities previously released from custody.
Jose Leonardo Marquez, 23, was arrested by U.S. Capitol Police on the afternoon of December 26 after illegally entering the U.S.
According to a press release from the USCP, an officer observed Marquez’s “strange behavior” and approached him.
The officer spoke with Marquez and noticed a brick in his pocket, which the man tossed to the side at the officer’s request, the agency said.
After Marquez complied, he also removed a knife and placed it on a ledge at the Capitol building.
Authorities said that the observant officer also noticed a handle under the man’s clothing. After calling for backup, the office drew his gun and ordered Marquez to put his hands up.
Authorities found a machete and immediately arrested him.
What was Jose doing near the Capitol? Good question. We don’t know, but Venezuela is a narco-socialist terror state run by a leftist drug cartel whose leaders, prior to Biden, were on wanted posters for helping smuggle drugs to America. Venezuela is tied up with Iran and other global foes.
So maybe we shouldn’t be releasing its illegal invaders to go get machetes and do whatever they were planning to do with them.
ICE said that border patrol released him from custody “due to a lack of detention capacity,” enrolling him in the tracking program known as “Alternatives to Detention.”
Alternatives to detonation end up being our major cities and apparently Congress.

AND STILL MAYORKAS LIES OUT OF BOTH SIDES OF HIS MOUTH ABOUT THE INVASION HE AND BIDEN HAVE PERPETRATED
Mayorkas ‘Parole’ Plan for Labor Migration Stalls Border Talks, Ukraine Funds
GOP legislators want the White House to shut down its new “parole” migration pathway — but White House officials involved in the border negotiations are rejecting any restrictions.
Democrats “don’t want to deal with parole,” Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) told Breitbart News. “They want to leave it wide open” because they want to create a parallel immigration system run by government-funded non-profits, and operating alongside the legal migration system and illegal cross-border flow of migrants, he said.
Democrats who are worried about the political damage from President Joe Biden’s migration should “call up the White House and say, “Work with Republicans to change asylum, change parole [and] implement a Title 42 authority that would stop the inflow,” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) told “Face the Nation’ on December 31. “We’re full,” he added.
House Speaker Mike Johnson warned the White House that the House has already voted for a bill – H.R. 2 – to shut down the parole pathway. He released a December 21 letter to Biden and his deputies saying, “Cease exploitation of parole authority, and ensure it is granted solely ‘on a case-by-case basis’ instead of using parole for entire classes of aliens.”
The parole issue is rarely mentioned in media reports about the slow-motion migration talks, partly because most reporters are cheerleading for more migration. Also, White House officials and GOP Senators prefer to tout claimed progress in the less important issue of asylum.
Yet parole is the bigger problem, in part, because White House officials are rejecting any curbs on parole. “Biden officials have told Hispanic lawmakers that they are resisting GOP demands to limit the administration’s authority to release migrants through the legal tool known as parole,” Axios reported on December 19.
The Democrats are resisting compromise because they using their parole claim to create a parallel, administration-directed immigration system under the control of Biden’s ambitious pro-migration border chief, Alejandro Mayorkas.

Homeland Security Committee Events / YouTubeThat parole goal is being protected even though Democrats choose to combine border security with a funding package to help Ukraine survive amid the war against Russia.
For decades, the border officials who regulate the inflow of legal visitors and tourists have also been allowed by Congress to “parole ” individuals into the United States in emergency circumstances, such as a boat crewman’s medical emergency. Various administrations exploited the loophole to import many people — often with the tacit approval of congressional leaders — until Congress tightened the law in 1996.
Congress “limited the executive branch’s authority to parole aliens as a class [by] allowing it to do so ‘only on a case-by-case basis,'” according to a December 2023 report by Andrew Arthur, a former immigration judge who now works with the Center for Immigration Studies.
“Second, it struck the phrase ‘for emergent reasons or for reasons deemed strictly in the public interest’ and substituted in its place ‘for urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit,'” said the CIS report.
But Congress’ 1996 limits on parole are being ignored by Mayorkas, who is both a lawyer and a pro-migration zealot. Since 2o21, he and his deputies have given parole to more than 1.4 million people in multiple categories — far more than the annual inflow of 1 million legal immigrants.
For example, Mayorkas ignored the”case-by-case” legal requirement when he provided parole to roughly 100,000 Afghans. Many of the Afghans got their parole documents after they were first flown to a safe airport outside Afghanistan, and even though many had done little to help their government fight the Taliban armies.
Mayorkas also provided a parole welcome to roughly 200,000 Ukrainians and 25,0000 Russians, nearly all of whom had safely passed through safe European countries on their way to Mayorkas’ parole welcome.
Mayorkas is giving parole to 360,000 migrants per year who fly in from Cuba, Nicaragua, Haiti, and Venezuela. They are given parole under the justification that they would otherwise break the law by crossing the border illegally — and despite the damage to their home country caused by their exit.
RELATED: Mayorkas Refuses to Use Term “Illegal Immigrants”
C-SPANMayorkas is also using his parole loophole to sneak economic migrants past Congress’ law that asylum seekers wait six months before getting a work permit. The six-month delay was written to prevent companies from importing cheap and desperate foreign workers as asylum seekers. But now border migrants can get parole and work permits, allowing them to quickly flood the labor market.
Mayorkas is giving parole to the family relatives of legal migrants from Central America. This allows the relatives to bypass the line for the roughly 250,000 green cards annually authorized by Congress for the reunification of extended families.
He has also given parole to many of the 600,000 Mexican single adults who have been admitted amid backroom promises by Mexico’s pro-migration government to streamline the flow of migrants to the U.S. border.
This massive parole inflow is in addition to the inflow of roughly one million legal immigrants, and roughly one million white-collar and blue-collar visa workers, This vast legal and illegal inflow inflicts massive pocketbook damage to ordinary Americans by cutting their wages and driving up their housing prices.
For Mayorkas, parole is a far more powerful tool than asylum — despite several lawsuits against his use of parole.
Since 2021, Mayorkas and his allies have encouraged migration by touting asylum to would-be migrants.
However, while asylum gets migrants into the country, they are still in illegal status until they win their court plea for asylum. Also, they can get only work permits after several months., Also, relatively few migrants go through the asylum process because few expect to win their often bogus asylum pleas.
So this asylum doorway gets migrants in — but it also expands the visible population of penniless illegals that fuels public opposition to Democrats’ claim that the United States is a “Nation of Immigrants.”
In contrast, parole approval gives migrants instant legal status and fast-track work permits, and also puts them on a path to welfare and medical benefits. This economic package helps migrants anchor themselves in U.S. society, to bring in their spouses and children, and then apply for the “Adjustment of Status” rolling amnesty that gets them a green card and citizenship.
Moreover, parole allows migrants to fly quietly into U.S. airports, thus reducing the visible monthly inflow of illegal migrants.
So the Cuban-born, pro-migrant homeland security chief is using parole — not asylum — to build a parallel migration system alongside the migration system established by Congress in 1990 and 1996.

Matt Perdie / Breitbart NewsFor example, he is using parole to bypass Congress’ limits on family chain migration into American communities, to import hundreds of thousands of cheap and compliant workers for companies, and to implement the administration’s efforts to reshape the nation’s economy and labor market for the benefit of investors and CEOs.
He is using parole to anchor economic migrants in America, partly because the migrants get work permits. Also, the two-year parole status can be renewed, and it provides a five-year path to the U.S. welfare programs that allow low-wage migrants to stay in the United States. Moreover, parole migrants from Haiti and Cuba get instant access to welfare programs. “As they walk out of the airport with that wet stamp, they’re eligible for Medicaid. welfare and food stamps,” Arthur told Breitbart News.
Mayorkas is also setting up”Safe Mobility Offices” in foreign countries where U.S. officials can grant parole, refugee status, or temporary work visas — to applicants seeking to live in Americans’ society. Mayorkas’s pending “magnet” request for $14 billion in extra funding asks for $1.3 billion to expand the inflow of parole migrants in 2024.
Overall, Mayorkas has repeatedly and consistently called for a Canadian-style, immigration-first economic strategy that would expand government power over Americans’ labor supply and the business sector.
In March 2023, for example, he told a Senate hearing:
It is an economic security threat, the shortage of workers … Regrettably, regrettably, our legal immigration system is not designed to meet the need of employers here in the United States, despite the fact that individuals from other countries want to come here to work — even seasonally, even temporarily — earn the money that they can bring back to their home countries and support their families there.
In December 2022, for example, Mayorkas told ElPasoMatters.org:
We look to our partner to the north that has a much more nimble immigration system that can be retooled to the [national government’s] needs at the moment. For example, Canada is in need of 1 million workers and they have agreed that in 2023, they will admit 1.4 million … immigrants to fill that labor need that Canadians themselves cannot. We are stuck in antiquated laws that do not meet our current needs.
This goal of a cheap labor, migrant-inflated economy– and the use of parole to create it — is backed by the FWD.us, a group founded by West Coast investors that urged Senators to confirm Mayorkas as homeland secretary in 2021. The founders include Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg, who spent more than $100 million on programs to boost turnout in Democratic districts in 2020.
But Canada’s high-migration economy has flooded the nation’s labor market with cheap and lesser-skilled migrants that have flatlined national productivity. It has spiked rents, housing prices, homelessness, and inflation, and has even forced down the nation’s birthrate.
Similar policies have produced similar results United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, France, and Germany, forcing extensive backtracking this year as polls shift against the pro-migration incumbents.
Yet Mayorkas and his team are rejecting any curbs on their use of parole in the Senate talks. Politico reported on December 22:
Mayorkas’ talks with Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.), Sens. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) and Kyrsten Sinema (I-Ariz.) are advancing despite facing huge hurdles. They’ve made progress on changes to asylum standards but remain at odds over dialing back the president’s parole authority and new expulsion authority, according to a second person briefed on the talks.
Even if parole is included in the deal, GOP staffers will have to scrutinize the language for new loopholes, Arthur told Breitbart:
Negotiators and members need to be very explicit about any proposal to expand the ability of the Biden administration to allow foreign nationals into the United States on parole, because the Biden administration has shown willingness to abuse the very, very limited parole authority it already has.
There is also little trust among Republicans, even Sen. John Hoeven (R-ND) who helped clinch Senate passage of the 2013 “Gang of Eight”cheap labor bill. On December 221, he told Politico:
“I don’t think Mayorkas gets it done. I mean, you’ve seen his performance on the border, it’s worse than abysmal,” Sen. John Hoeven (R-N.D.) said. “We have him up for hearings. And he sits there and says the border’s secure. He’s not even dealing with reality.”
“We’re not going to reach any kind of agreement until the president tells us what, if anything, he’s willing to do to secure the border,” Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) told Politico.
But the GOP leadership is eager to show they are all opposed to Mayorkas’ parole programs.
“Our [GOP] colleagues at the negotiating table are under no illusions about how difficult it is to fix our nation’s broken asylum and parole system,” Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said in a December 18 floor speech. “There’s no longer any disagreement that the situation at the southern border is unsustainable and requires the Senate to act.”
Denver Mayor: We’ll Hit Point Where Our Sanctuary City Must Turn Away Migrants, ‘Not Enough’ ‘Work’ or Housing
On Tuesday’s edition of NBC’s “Meet the Press Now,” Denver Mayor Mike Johnston stated that the sanctuary city will “hit a capacity at which we just won’t be able anymore to manage the amount of inflow” and “we’re hitting a breaking point at which there’s just not enough volume of work or housing in the city to support this ongoing volume,” and so they’ll have to consider turning away buses of migrants.
Host Garrett Haake asked, “[Y]ou’ve said you’ve not considered turning away any of these buses of migrants that are coming to your city. But is there a point at which that’s something Denver might have to do or it’s something you might have to consider?”
Johnston responded, “Yeah, we’re going to hit a capacity at which we just won’t be able anymore to manage the amount of inflow. And so, we’re trying to avoid that problem, but we know we can’t keep growing at this pace. When I took the oath of office six months ago, we had about 400 migrants in shelter[s]. We have more than ten times that number right now. We’ve brought 35,000 through this year. And, remarkably, we’ve been able to get 99% of them up and placed into housing or work or onward travel. And so, we have been very successful, but now we’re hitting a breaking point at which there’s just not enough volume of work or housing in the city to support this ongoing volume, not to mention the impact on city budgets.”

151K Migrants Apprehended Last Month in 2 Border Sectors — Shatters Prior Records
Border Patrol agents in the Tucson and Del Rio Sectors apprehended approximately 151,000 migrants who illegally crossed the border between ports of entry during the month of December, according to unofficial reports reviewed by Breitbart Texas. The reported apprehensions shatter prior records for both sectors.
Agents in the Tucson Sector broke a record going back to the Clinton administration with the apprehension of approximately 80,000 migrants in December. Del Rio Sector agents also obliterated a record set just over a year ago with the apprehension of approximately 71,000 migrants.
The prior record for migrant apprehensions in the Tucson Sector was set in March 2000 when agents encountered 76,245 migrants, according to U.S. Border Patrol Encounter Reports. The December report of approximately 80,000 migrants beats that record by nearly five percent.
The Del Rio Sector’s prior record was set in August 2022 when agents apprehended 52,735 migrants. The December apprehension of more than 71,000 migrants exceeds that record by nearly 35 percent.
Rounding out the top five sectors along the southwest border were the San Diego Sector (>34K), the El Paso Sector (<34K), and the Rio Grande Valley Sector (>18K).
Agents in the nine southeast border sectors apprehended a total of nearly 250,000 migrants in December, the unofficial Border Patrol reports reviewed by Breitbart Texas revealed. This exceeds the Border Patrol’s previous southwest border apprehension record of 239,289 migrants set in September 2023 by approximately 4.5 percent, reports indicate. More than 125,000 of these entered through the five Texas-based border sectors.
During the first three months of Fiscal Year 2024, which began on October 1, Border Patrol agents in the nine southwest sectors apprehended 673,000 migrants who illegally crossed the border between ports of entry.
During the past 12 months, Border Patrol agents apprehended more than 2,132,000 migrants. Since President Joe Biden’s first full month in office (February 2021) agents apprehended nearly 6.4 million migrants. These numbers do not include known or unknown got-aways.

Biden Floods Small Wisconsin Town with 1,000 Migrants
President Joe Biden’s migration has flooded almost 1,000 poor Latino migrants into the poor college town of Whitewater, Wisconsin, according to a plea by the city’s police department.
“Their arrival has put great strains on our existing resources, ” says the letter to Biden by the city manager and police chief of the 15,000-person city:
Communicating with an immigrant population that generally speaks only Spanish has been a challenge we’ve worked to overcome by the use of costly translation software. We have found approximately three times the number of unlicensed drivers on our roadways compared to previous years. This occupies much of their time and takes away from our ability to serve in other aspects.
Our officers have also seen first-hand the terrible living conditions that many migrants are living in. We’ve seen a family living in a 10’x10’ shed in -10-degree temperatures. We’ve seen many over-occupied apartments that create non-familial living situations, which unfortunately has led to a number of situations involving juvenile victims of sexual assault.
We’ve also encountered a significant trust barrier between the immigrant population and law enforcement. In many cases this has led to individuals providing false documents and misleading our staff, which further increases our time involved in investigating cases. Finally, our law enforcement staff have responded to a number of serious crimes linked to immigrants in some manner including the death of an infant child, multiple sexual assaults, and a kidnapping.
“Our [police] department averaged 2,437 self-initiated traffic stops annually from 2010–2021 … in 2023, we are on pace for 1,246 [traffic stops],” said the letter, which is signed by police chief Daniel Meyer and city manager John Weidl.
The city is asking Biden to offset his damage with taxes from the nation’s taxpayers:
The impact of demographic change that we are seeing in Whitewater is acute. It is unique in Walworth County and even in the State of Wisconsin. If direct funding is not feasible, then I ask that you to consider creating a grant opportunity … This is a critical humanitarian issue, and our City needs government assistance in order to continue to serve our entire community properly.
Biden is eager to fund cosmetic fixes to civic damage in Wisconsin, partly because the funding will help him in the 2024 election and also help import even more migrants. In October, he asked Congress for $14 billion to accelerate his migration plan,
The plan is described by Republicans as a magnet for more migration. For example, the plan asks for roughly $800 million to import more migrants from South America via a network of “Safe Mobility Offices.”
So far, GOP Senators have blocked the funding request because Biden’s deputies oppose any significant border reforms that would curb their planned inflow of more poor foreigners for jobs and homes needed by Americans in Wisconsin and other states.
The town was poor even before the arrival of Biden’s 1,000 Nicaraguan and Venezuelan migrants.

Randy Clark / Breitbart Texas“Whitewater also has one of the higher rates of people living in poverty in the nation, with 33.56% of its population below the federal poverty line,” according to NeighborhoodScout.com. Biden’s migrants will drive up housing costs, push down wages, and take jobs from the locals who are older, alienated, sicker, or damaged by drugs.
But Biden’s migration has also inflicted a crime wave on the city, which gets a “D” rating at CrimeGrade.com.
In November, Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) met with local officials to spotlight the growing role of the drug cartels in the once-quiet town. WKOW.com reported:
The lawmakers were joined by law enforcement officials from both Whitewater and Walworth County to provide an analysis to community members on how the presence of drug cartels in rural areas is plaguing cities across the state. Whitewater Police officials confirmed they had documented nearly $250,000 was funneled through the City of Whitewater back to drug cartels over a four-month period.
After the meeting, Johnson posted a November 17 statement about the district’s problems:
The national media will pay attention to big cities like Chicago and New York but little mention is made of the challenges faced by smaller cities. The impact on Walworth County resources is devastating. Issues range from communication barriers, to overcrowded housing, to overburdened schools. And then there’s the criminal element bringing with it cocaine and fentanyl. Law enforcement says their drug arrests have traced a quarter million dollars from Whitewater directly back to drug cartels.
Whitewater is still a safe community, but the root cause of these issues is our nation’s wide open southern border.
In October, for example, KCRG.com reported that Yefferson Guzman Rodriguez was being sought by the police for allegedly kidnapping a woman:
The Whitewater Police Department indicated Guzman Rodriguez was reported to have held the victim, who was an acquaintance, for days and had allegedly pointed a gun at her head. Police Chief Dan Meyer said that she was not injured during that time.
…
The police department also searched multiple other homes where people who knew Guzman Rodriguez, the statement noted. Whitewater Police Chief Dane Meyer stated most of the suspect’s family and friends are in the area; however, he does have ties to Milwaukee. They have been cooperative with helping find the teen, Meyer indicated.
Migration also threatens the city’s ability to help educate locals. Roughly half the kids in the city’s high school are already classified as poor, and roughly one-third are Hispanic.
The city also has a housing shortage that is being worsened by poverty and the arrival of migrants — much to the advantage of local landowners.
Whitewater’s problems match the migration-created problems in Chicago, New York, Denver, Boston, and Rockland County, just outside of New York City.
“We’re not just saying ‘We’re out of room’ as a sound bite — we’re out of room, literally,” Mayor Eric Adams said in a January 2 interview. “People are going to be eventually sleeping on the streets.”

Biden’s economic policy of Extraction Migration has added at least four million workers to the nation’s workforce.
That flood is urged and welcomed by business groups because it cuts Americans’ blue-collar wages and white-collar salaries. It also reduces marketplace pressure to invest in productivity-boosting technology, heartland states, and overseas markets. and it reduces economic pressure on the federal government to deal with the drug and “Deaths of Despair” crises.
Biden’s easy-migration policies are deliberately adding the foreigners’ problems to the lengthening list of Americans’ problems — homelessness, low wages, a shrinking middle class, slowing innovation, declining blue-collar life expectancy, spreading poverty, the rising death toll from drugs, and the spreading alienation among young people.
In contrast, towns with few migrants see rising wages and corporate investment.
