The Border Patrol, which last year faced a record-high number of encounters with illegal immigrants, may now have to deal with up to 15,000 migrants per day. By comparison, the whole month of March 2022 "saw an average of roughly 5,200 daily illegal border crossings," the Free Beacon reported. An unprecedented 5.5 million immigrants have already illegally crossed the border since Harris's boss, President Joe Biden, took office.
"Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi, the twin nutters of Congress, were certain they could beat Trump at his own game, but have made fools of themselves, as usual. The stand-off is not over but with each passing day, the Democrats reveal more of their anti-American, pro-illegal immigration agenda. Conservatives have been sounding the alarm for years: Democrats do not care about American citizens!" PATRICIA McCARTHY

Marsha Blackburn: Joe Biden Has Paroled Roughly Two Million Migrants
President Joe Biden has paroled roughly two million migrants since 2022 via his Humanitarian Parole Program, Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) said during an appearance on Breitbart News Daily, detailing the dangers that come with Biden’s open border policies.
Blackburn detailed her recent trip to the southern border and praised the accomplishments of Texas, which has taken the lead in securing the border.
“I’ve got legislation that would give local governments and state governments the ability to secure their border when the federal government does not. And so Texas DPS [Department of Public Safety] and Brandon Judd from the…Border Patrol union invited me to come back down,” she said, explaining that the measures they have taken have reduced illegal immigration in Eagle Pass, just by putting barriers up. It has gone from several thousand a week to “about 12 people a day,” she said.
Blackburn also pointed to the contrast between the Biden administration and the Trump administration, noting that Biden is suing Texas, whereas former President Donald Trump would be sending the state reinforcements to better secure the border.
“This is the difference between these administrations,” she said before discussing the parole program, which sees the U.S. flying migrants into American cities without even alerting local officials.
“That is actually the parole program, and if you go back to 1983 and look at the different presidents and how many people they have granted parole each year,” Obama and Trump both paroled about 5,600 people per year into the U.S.
In 2022 alone, Biden paroled 800,000 people, and that figure jumped to 1.2 million the following year, according to Blackburn.
LISTEN:
“Now, what he does, Mike, when he gives them parole status, is they get benefits, and they get a work visa, and that’s why you have these illegal aliens that are now delivering for Uber and DoorDash and people of that nature. It is unsafe for people,” she said, noting that these individuals are “using fake names.” It is dangerous, she added, for companies to hire these individuals.
“I actually have a letter in process that other senators are signing on to to send questions to these delivery companies about using these illegal aliens — many of them criminal illegal aliens — and using them for employment in the U.S. and thereby endangering the public,” Blackburn concluded.

Chicago Slammed with 57 Cases of Measles in Migrant Shelters, One Case Less than Entire Country in 2023
Chicago has been slammed with nearly as many cases of measles in its migrant shelters this year than the whole country had in 2023.
City health officials reported 57 “confirmed cases” and that most of the cases have turned up across its migrant shelter system.
According to city officials, 33 cases of measles are migrant children up to the age of four, seven are from five to 17 years of age, 16 are adults between the ages of 18 and 24, and one is over 50 years of age.
Health officials also say that some residents may have been exposed to the disease on city mass transit bus and train lines, as well as various stores, clinics, and schools.
These 57 cases, mostly among the illegal border crossers being sheltered in Chicago’s migrant housing, rivals the number of measles cases reported in the entire country for 2023. Last year only 58 cases were seen in the whole of the U.S. However, there were 121 cases listed in 2022, according to WMAQ-TV.
But this year, the outbreak has exploded. As the report notes, “As of Feb. 29, a total of 41 measles cases were reported in 16 U.S. states: Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, New York City, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Washington.”
These numbers do not include the new cases in Chicago.
Cases of measles have been relatively sparse in the U.S. for decades and the disease has been generally considered eliminated since the year 2000, meaning it does not present a meaningful threat across the country and is generally seen only when someone brings the disease in from outside the country, according to the Centers for Disease Control.
Still, the CDC has issued a warning about the disease in an alert titled, “Increase in Global and Domestic Measles Cases and Outbreaks.”
The advisory, which is intended for public health officials and clinicians, notes that the disease is “highly contagious” and pointed out that, at the time of its writing, there has been 58 confirmed cases of the measles in the U.S. from January 1 to March 14.
This includes “seven outbreaks in seven jurisdictions compared to 58 total cases and four outbreaks reported the entire year in 2023.” Further, it noted the vast majority of the cases, 93 percent, are linked to traveling internationally.
For its part, the Illinois Department of Public Health has tried to allay fears over the contagious disease and insists that residents are at little risk.
“Most residents of Chicago and Illinois were vaccinated routinely in childhood and therefore not at high risk. Of most concern are people who have not been vaccinated. MMR vaccine is available at most medical provider’s offices and pharmacies. Illinois children as young as 7 years old can get the MMR shot at pharmacies under Illinois law,” the department concluded,” the state department insisted.
Measles is not the only highly contagious disease coursing through the Windy City’s migrant shelters. This month an outbreak of tuberculosis was also seen ravaging migrants.
Last week, the Chicago Department of Public Health (CDPH) revealed that there is “a small number of cases” of tuberculosis (TB) “among new arrivals in a few different shelters over the course of the response.”
CDPH officials did not divulge the exact number of cases among migrants or the location of the shelters where the disease was detected.

Whoopi Goldberg: Republicans Want to ‘Bring Slavery Back’
Whoopi Goldberg told her co-hosts Wednesday on ABC’s “The View” that some Republicans would like to “bring slavery back” during the panel discussion of the Arizona Supreme Court’s ruling reinstating an 1864 abortion ban.
Co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin said, “I believe a lot of elected Republicans are completely out of step with the sentiment of the country because we’ve seen in Kansas, a very red state, Ohio, and Kentucky that Republicans turned out to protect access to abortion so this is a big win for Democrats I believe in the election.”
Goldberg said, “Take a look at the things that they’re rolling back. Remember I said ages ago, you know, in their minds they want to bring slavery back. They’re okay with it because you see things change — now one of the good things about the Supreme Court is you can fight to make sure you make stuff better. You don’t generally fight to make stuff worse.”
She added, “To me, if you’re OK rolling that back, when things were not even a state, when we had no say. So how’s that going to roll? How’s that going to roll? What’s the next thing? Because you know with all of this comes birth control, with all of this comes everything that you need as a woman to have had put in place to make sure that we are doing better than we were before.”

Joe Biden Has Secretly Flown 33,000 Migrants into New York City, 326,000 into Florida, at Taxpayer Expense
A review of available federal records shows the Biden administration has secretly flown 33,000 illegal aliens into New York City and an astounding 326,000 into the state of Florida over the last several years.
The number of illegals that Biden has flown around the country dwarfs the number that Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) sent via bus to deep blue cities, even though it is Abbott who suffers the barbs of the left-wing media for the practice and Biden’s human trafficking is wholly ignored by the press.
According to a report by Todd Bensman, a senior national security fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies, Biden imported more than 800,000 illegals into the country via a program called the “CHNV Program” or the “Advanced Travel Authorization Program.”
These programs send planes directly to foreign airports, load them up with people who have not gone through the normal immigration process, and then fly them directly to U.S. airports where they are dumped into the American populace. And all this is done without any notice or coordination with the local government officials.
Under Biden’s plan, “sponsors” fill out online applications for the illegals to apply for permission to fly into the U.S. The approval process for these applications has not been made public, but once an application is approved, the illegals make their way to a designated airport in the U.S. where they are allowed into the country.
The two programs identified by Bensman seem to have directly imported 800,000 illegals into the country and then disseminated them all across the land, often in flights that arrived in the middle of the night.
None of these records are exactly in the public, though. According to Bensman, Biden’s Department of Homeland Security refused to comply with Freedom of Information Act records requests, and the numbers Bensman cites have had to be parsed from a disparate number of government reports.
The Biden administration is doing its best to keep these flights a secret, Bensman charged.
Bensman is not the only one decrying the secrecy Biden has used to shroud these flights of hundreds of thousands of illegals.
“It is secret because they’re not telling anybody. They don’t tell us anytime somebody comes in,” Florida Gov. DeSantis (R) said in April. “They don’t give us any information on it. They are not coordinating with state government at all. If they throw six people on a commercial flight coming from a foreign country, there’s no acknowledgement at all to state or local authorities. That’s just a fact.”
Even as New York City Mayor Eric Adams continues to rail at the 37,500 illegals that Texas has bused to the Big Apple, he has completely ignored the 33,000 Biden has dropped off in the region’s airports. And that number is likely a low estimate, Bensman said, indicating that there have probably been many more than just 33,000.
One of the illegals that Biden flew into John F. Kennedy International Airport was Pierre Lucard Emile, a Haitian migrant, who was later arrested by Boston Police in September 2023 after being accused of raping a teen girl with a developmental disability.

Kamala Harris: Medicare for All Includes
Illegal Aliens
https://mexicanoccupation.blogspot.com/2019/05/viva-la-raza-supremacy-hispandering.html
Harris, a guest on CNN's "State of the Union," said "I support Medicare for all. It is my preferred policy." She said she supports the bill introduced by Sen. Bernie Sanders.
Even as the crisis worsens by the day, Biden administration officials, including Harris, have insisted that the border is secure. One day before the Pentagon confirmed the troop movement, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre falsely claimed that "illegal migration" has "come down by more than 90 percent."
Sending Troops to Border Is 'Inappropriate' and 'Political,' Said Veep Whose Boss Is Now Sending Troops to Border
May 2, 2023
Vice President Kamala Harris in a 2018 interview blasted the Trump administration's decision to send troops to the border as "political" and "inappropriate," remarks that may hurt her after news broke Tuesday that the Biden administration is sending 1,500 troops to the border.
"The administration made a decision to deploy [troops] based on a political agenda," then-senator Harris said, "and I believe that it is inappropriate to require the limited resources of the United States military to be used in such a way." She described the Trump administration's decision as "some demonstration for the TV cameras based on a political agenda instead of what is a national security threat."
Harris has not used similar language to describe the Biden administration's decision to deploy troops to the border. According to a Homeland Security Department memo, the Pentagon will send staff to manage an enormous expected surge on the southern border following the repeal of Title 42, a Trump administration border security measure, the Washington Free Beacon reported Tuesday. Defense Department officials confirmed the same day that the administration will send "1,500 active-duty troops to the U.S.-Mexico border in anticipation of an influx of migrants," according to CNN.
"The active-duty Army units will assist Border Patrol and will be armed," National Review reported. In addition to the Army, 2,500 active-duty National Guardsmen are already stationed at the border.
The Border Patrol, which last year faced a record-high number of encounters with illegal immigrants, may now have to deal with up to 15,000 migrants per day. By comparison, the whole month of March 2022 "saw an average of roughly 5,200 daily illegal border crossings," the Free Beacon reported. An unprecedented 5.5 million immigrants have already illegally crossed the border since Harris's boss, President Joe Biden, took office.
Harris, who is ostensibly in charge of managing the administration's response to the crisis, has only been to the border once, in June 2021. In January of this year, she visited the border state of Arizona but didn't discuss the crisis. Instead, she talked about green energy projects.
Even as the crisis worsens by the day, Biden administration officials, including Harris, have insisted that the border is secure. One day before the Pentagon confirmed the troop movement, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre falsely claimed that "illegal migration" has "come down by more than 90 percent."

‘Muchas gracias’ for all those remittances
Today I learned that the peso is strong. That's actually a double-edged sword because it makes Cancun more expensive for U.S. tourists but going shopping in the U.S. cheaper for Mexicans.
So what's going on? Well, remittances are going south and that makes the Lopez-Obrador government say "muchas gracias" to all those Mexicans in the U.S. keeping their families afloat. This is the story:
On Monday, April 8, the Mexican peso reached an international exchange rate of 16.31 pesos per one wholesale U.S. dollar, the currency’s strongest performance against the dollar since October 2015.
This marks a .68 percent appreciation of the peso since trading closed on Friday, said data from Bloomberg, making the Mexican peso one of the top four global currencies in terms of growing value against the dollar over the weekend.
According to Banco Base Director of Economic Analysis Gabriela Siller, the increasing strength of the peso comes as remittances sent from the U.S. to Mexico continue surging, export levels remain strong and foreign investment rises throughout the country.
That's not a shock to me but the amount of "remesas" is indeed eye-popping. In other words, Mexico is attracting more investment, exporting a lot and growing more and more dependent on those "remesas" as a safety net for more and more families.
Remember that those "remesas" are going to the poorer segment of society. Very few middle or upper-class Mexicans get these dollars. At the same time, many Mexicans have told me that it's dangerous for Mexico to be so dependent on dollars. They say, and I agree, that local politicians do not have to make tough decisions about privatizing the oil company or the agricultural sector.
It also exposes Mexico to having the U.S. put a tax on all that capital flight. We believe that President Trump warned Lopez-Obrador with such a tax and that is why he accepted "Remain in Mexico." True or false, those levels of dependence on foreign nationals abroad is risky and no way to run a country. Just think what the peso would be worth if $60 billion was not flowing into Banco de Mexico.

Rep. Troy Nehls Condemns Mexican President for ‘Diplomatic Blackmail’ to Crack Down on Illegal Immigration
Rep. Troy Nehls (R-TX) filed a resolution Tuesday condemning Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador’s (AMLO) comments on 60 Minutes on March 24, 2024 and calling on the Mexican government to limit illegal immigration, Breitbart News learned first.
The Biden administration asked “for us to try and contain the flow of migration,” Mexico’s president, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, told 60 Minutes in a March 24 broadcast, as Breitbart News reported extensively. But “the flow of migrants will continue” if Biden does not cooperate with Mexico’s ambitions, Obrador said.
Those ambitions, as described by 60 Minutes, are:
…that the United States commit $20 billion a year to four countries in Latin America and the Caribbean, lift sanctions on Venezuela and the Cuban embargo, and legalize [amnesty] millions of law-abiding Mexicans living in the US.
“I’m speaking frankly,” Obrador told 60 Minutes. “We have to say things as they are, and I always say what I feel. I always say what I think.”
Nehls’ resolution condemns AMLO’s comments and calls on the Mexican Government to limit illegal immigration by securing its own southern border, reaching an agreement with the United States for Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP)/Remain in Mexico, and establishing a Safe Third Country Agreement with the United States.
“The comments made by Mexico’s President are reprehensible and equate to diplomatic blackmail,” the Texas congressman said in a statement to Breitbart. “To mitigate illegal immigration, Mexico should secure its own border, reimplement President Trump’s successful ‘Remain in Mexico’ policy, and establish a Safe Third Country agreement with the United States.”
Nehls and many other Republicans have ruthlessly criticized Biden and his border policies, even impeaching his Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas, in February.
But as AMLO’s comments reveal, instead of pursuing policies the Trump administration used successfully to curb illegal immigration – which the Biden administration began disassembling within hours of Biden’s inauguration, Biden is plotting to farm out border enforcement to the Mexican government. And he is willing to make significant concessions at the expense of American taxpayers to do it.
By orchestrating his scheme surreptitiously, Biden is attempting to avoid the ire of both his leftwing base and wealthy donors who favor unencumbered immigration, while simultaneously meagerly reducing the unprecedented volume of border crossings in an effort to assuage independent voters who remain concerned with the migrant crisis.
In an approaching election year panic, the Biden administration asked Mexico in December – a month during which AMLO let a record-breaking flood of 251,000 illegal migrants cross the U.S. border far from the official border gates – to slash the northward flow of illegals during the 2024 election year.
After the Biden administration quickly agreed to his terms, AMLO suddenly slashed the illegal inflow by 50 percent in January.
Nehls, who supported the House-passed H.R. 2 that would reinstate many of Trump’s border and immigration policies, including those he calls for in his resolution, ripped Biden for colluding with the Mexican president instead of doing his duty.
“When did the United States of America start to meet the ‘demands’ of a foreign country?,” Nehls asked. “I’ll tell you when—when Joe Biden became president. This is completely unacceptable.”
Reps. Jake Ellzey (R-TX) and Tom Tiffany (R-WI) cosponsored Nehls’ resolution.
