Biden Admin Caught And Released Enough Illegal Immigrants At The Border To Fill More Than 17 Yankee Stadiums

January 2, 2024

By The Daily Caller

There were enough illegal immigrants caught and released into the country in 2023 to fill more than 17 Yankee Stadiums, according to federal data.
Not a single year of encounters under the two previous presidential administrations came close to what federal authorities recorded in 2023, according to the data.
“In retrospect, 2023 at the border was a progressively worse version of 2022,” former Border Patrol Chief Rodney Scott told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

The number of illegal immigrants caught and released into the country in 2023 would be enough to fill Yankee Stadium more than 17 times, according to federal data.

Border Patrol recorded more than 1.7 million encounters with migrants crossing the southern border illegally in 2023, with more than 824,000 released into the interior of the country with future court appearances, according to the data, which doesn’t account for December. Yankee Stadium has the capacity to hold 46,537 people, according to Ticketmaster.

Federal authorities at the southern border also seized more than 229,000 pounds of drugs, roughly 22,000 pounds of which were fentanyl.

During the Obama and Trump administrations, not a single year reached one million encounters, according to federal data.

“In retrospect, 2023 at the border was a progressively worse version of 2022,” former Border Patrol Chief Rodney Scott told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “Biden continued to double down on his failed border policies, illegal immigration continued skyrocketing to unimaginable levels, the cartels made more money than most people can fathom with less risk than at anytime in history, Customs and Border Protection suspended legal trade and travel to decrease the time in custody for illegal aliens, and the US Border Patrol shut down checkpoints and deployed nearly zero proactive patrols.”

“Biden’s only response was to send Mayorkas and Blinken to Mexico and asks them to control their border,” he said.

The House Homeland Security Committee is preparing to conduct impeachment proceedings against Mayorkas early in the new year, a committee staffer recently told the DCNF.

“The Biden Administration is breaking records everyday and none of them are good. Enough. Time to impeach Mayorkas. No more excuses. This country needs action now,” Homan said.

Despite the record flows of illegal migrants across the southern border, ICE has left thousands of detention beds empty, according to the DCNF’s previous review of agency data. As of Dec. 11, ICE had seven individuals on average in custody each day at its processing center in Adelanto, California, where there is bed space for 640 people, according to agency data.

Court orders limit ICE’s use of bed space in the California facility to mitigate the spread of COVID-19.

The situation is only expected to worsen in the coming year, J.J. Carrell, who served as a deputy patrol agent in charge for Border Patrol, told the DCNF.

“We have never experienced this type of invasion in the history of America,” Carrell said. “And when you look at the totality of the data, meaning Special Interest Aliens, Russian nationals, Chinese nationals, terrorists, criminal aliens, major cities crumbling, social welfare, states of emergencies, I believe that when we look back on 2023 from the viewpoint of 2024, I think 2023 is gonna look tame, and that’s scary. I think that should scare America.”

Biden Admin Watered Down Vetting Process For Chinese Illegal Immigrants, Email Shows

January 2, 2024

By The Daily Caller

The Biden administration drastically simplified the vetting process for Chinese illegal immigrants in April 2023, according to an internal U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) email obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.

The April 2023 email, which was sent by a CBP supervisor to a “master list” of about 500 Border Patrol agents, instructs CBP officials to radically reduce the number of interview questions for Chinese migrants apprehended after illegally crossing into the country from roughly 40 to just five. The “headquarters guidance” came as border agents were overwhelmed with near-record numbers of illegal crossings.

This scaling back of the interview process fast-tracked the releasing of Chinese illegal immigrants into the U.S. while making it more difficult for CBP agents to identify national security threats, J.J. Carrell, a retired CBP deputy patrol agent in charge, told the DCNF after reviewing the email.

“This policy change has accelerated the time it takes to process Chinese illegal immigrants — this doesn’t make America safer,” Carrell said. “The final result is that dangerous Chinese illegal immigrants will still be released into the U.S.”

“This is just the government covering their ass, so they can say they vetted,” said Carrell. “I believe the government recognizes the threat of Chinese soldiers and spies that are pouring into America, and they want to try and identify these individuals. However, the same government does not want to stop the flow of illegal aliens or Chinese nationals — just the ‘bad ones,’ which is impossible.

While previously agents might spend hours vetting a single Chinese illegal immigrant, the new guidance simplifies the vetting process by reducing the number of questions that agents are required to ask, thereby speeding up the flow of Chinese illegal immigrants into the U.S., Carrell said.

The former law enforcement official who provided the email to the DCNF said human smuggling operations quickly adapted to these new guidelines, coaching Chinese illegal immigrants on how to answer CBP’s shorter list of questions.

“It was almost immediate where [the Chinese illegal immigrants] knew what to say and what not to say,” said the former official, who requested anonymity in fear of U.S. government retribution.

Carrell described smuggling operations as “highly coordinated.” He told the DCNF that illegal immigrants are “coached from the beginning of the journey.”

“The stories are identical,” Carrell said. “The streets and the names they use just differ because of the nations they’re from.”

The April 2023 CBP email also states that Chinese illegal immigrants who pass field agents’ five “basic questions” may be released into the U.S. interior.

“If they do not alert to the above, there is no requirement to further delay current processing pathway — NTA/OR,” the email states.

“NTA/OR” is an abbreviation for “Notice to Appear” / “Order of Recognizance,” according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

In practice, this allows Chinese illegal immigrants entry into the U.S. with a court date several years down the road, the former official said. By November 2023, the backlog of U.S. immigration court cases topped three million, signifying an all-time high.

Since 2022, Border Patrol has encountered approximately 35,000 Chinese illegal immigrants at the border, according to CBP data. Between 2022 and 2023, Border Patrol encounters with Chinese illegal immigrants surged over 1,000%, according to government records.

After answering agents’ “basic questions,” Chinese illegal immigrants are “sent out wherever they go, whether that’s contracted through Catholic Charities or other nonprofits,” the former official said.

‘Basic Questions’

The new guidance directs agents to ask five “basic questions” concerning “Military Service,” “Universities,” “POB/Region,” “Employment” and “Political Party.” All the questions are aimed at determining whether or not a Chinese illegal immigrant poses a national security threat, the former official told the DCNF.

“They’re really trying to see their ties to either terrorism or the government itself,” the former official said.

Questions regarding “Military Service,” “Universities,” “Employment” and “Political Party” are meant to tease out potential ties to the Chinese government, Chinese Communist Party or Chinese military. The question on “POB/Region” relates to terrorism, the former official told the DCNF.

“If there is a Yes to any of the above, they are then referred and transported to [redacted] for an in-depth interview by Tactical Terrorism Response Team,” the April 2023 email states.

The Tactical Terrorism Response Team (TTRT) is “part of the sector intelligence unit,” which is responsible for conducting in-depth questioning for Chinese illegal immigrants with potential terror or Chinese government ties, the former official said.

“Think of TTRT as the vetting unit before an individual is determined to be a national security risk or a terrorist,” Carrell, the former CBP agent, told the DCNF. “If TTRT determines that the individual is a security risk, that individual is turned over to Joint Terrorism Task Force for further investigation and deportation.”

Despite these concerns, DHS’s Special Interest Alien (SIA) list does not include immigrants from China.

SIA are defined as a “non-U.S. person who, based on an analysis of travel patterns, potentially poses a national security risk to the United States or its interests,” according to DHS. “Often such individuals or groups are employing travel patterns known or evaluated to possibly have a nexus to terrorism. DHS analysis includes an examination of travel patterns, points of origin and/or travel segments that are tied to current assessments of national and international threat environments.”

‘Bogged Down’

The vetting system for Chinese illegal immigrants in place prior to the April 2023 email was overwhelmed by the recent surge in crossings at the southern border, the former law enforcement official told the DCNF.

Under the previous system, it took up to four hours to process Chinese illegal immigrants, the former official told the DCNF.

“At the very beginning, what was happening was either at the station level — if they couldn’t get them to the processing center if it was too bogged down — or at the sector level at the processing center, the agent would then have to go through a long list of questions and it was taking almost four hours per person,” the former official said.

Carrell said the CBP vetting process was far more stringent for Chinese illegal immigrants during the Trump administration.

“If I received a Chinese national, we’d input them into the DHS database, look through [the National Crime Information Center] for criminal history in America — and nine times out of 10 these people have never been in America — so they’ll come back clean,” Carrell told the DCNF. “I would then set that individual up for deportation and [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] would fly him or her back to China. Never in a million years would I then process that Chinese national and then just release them into America.”

“Now, that person would be interviewed, put into the database and then just simply street-released,” Carrell said.

The DCNF reviewed a copy of CBP’s longer questionnaire for Chinese illegal immigrants, which the former official also shared.

While field agents are no longer required to vet Chinese illegal immigrants using the longer questionnaire of approximately 40 questions, TTRT still uses that questionnaire to vet those who’ve failed the five “basic questions,” the former official said.

In addition to the five “basic questions,” CBP’s longer questionnaire further directs agents to ask Chinese illegal immigrants about “prior arrests,” the “handling of weapons/firearms,” “smuggling fees,” and various other matters.

DHS and CBP did not respond to multiple requests for comment.

BIDEN’S INVASION: Iranian Terrorist Apprehended at U.S. Border

January 1, 2024

By The Geller Report

The question is, how many have gotten away?

Iranian with terrorist ties apprehended at northern border

By Bethany Blankley, The Center Square, December 30, 2023:

(The Center Square) – An Iranian with terrorist ties was caught after illegally entering the U.S. near Niagara Falls, New York, as a record number of known, suspected terrorists (KSTs) were apprehended in the first three months of fiscal 2024 at the northern border.

After the Iranian was apprehended, agents with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Enforcement and Removal Operations-Buffalo office removed him on Dec. 21.

The Iranian national first attempted to enter the U.S. on Oct. 10 by presenting himself to American immigration authorities at the Rainbow Bridge Pedestrian Walkway in Niagara Falls, New York. U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers denied him entry and returned him to the Canada Border Services Agency the same day.

Two days later, on Oct. 12, he illegally entered the U.S. in another area attempting to bypass agents stationed at the Whirlpool Bridge Port of Entry in Niagara Falls, New York. He illegally entered outside of the port of entry, “without being admitted or paroled by a designated immigration official,” ICE said, but he was apprehended.

The Iranian national is also a permanent resident of Canada, identified as a national security priority who was wanted by Canadian authorities on assault charges, ICE said.

On Nov. 8, ICE ERO Buffalo agents served him with an expedited removal order and on Dec. 21, agents removed him to Canada…

Communist California Rings In the New Year with $2.6 Billion For Illegal Immigrants

January 1, 2024

By Geoff Ross

The Communist state of California will overlook its massive deficits, fiscal instability and unconstitutional legislation to become the first state in our once free Republic to give free health insurance to all the illegal aliens that criminally entered our republic in violation of congressional federal immigration laws.

So commencing January 1st 2024, if you are a criminal illegal immigrant who has violated US immigration laws by entering California from let’s say Iran, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Communist China, Yemen, Iraq, Syria etc., no matter which country or how old you are if you are low income, now you qualify for Medi-Cal, a mirror copy of the federal Communist government controlled Medicaid program.

In 2015, illegal immigrant children could join Medi-Cal under a bill signed by then Gov. Communist sympathizer Jerry Brown. Then in 2019, the Communist dictator of California, Gavin Newsom signed a new law upping the age to use the tax dollars from hard working Americans to fund free health care for illegal immigrants age 19-25.

Then it was expanded to adults age 50 and older. Full benefits folks for all illegal immigrants that have criminally invaded our republic. The best way to maintain a Communist Democrat voter base in California is to give illegal immigrants free stuff.

So on Jan. 1 2024. approximately 700,000 plus more illegal immigrants who have violated congressional immigration laws aged between ages 26 and 49 will be added to the free handouts of full coverage.

This according to full blown Marxist and California State Senator Comrade María Elena Durazo the daughter of two illegal immigrants and the former National Co-Chair of the Barack Obama Presidential Destroy America Campaign. Remember Obama forced nuns in Catholic Charity hospitals to perform abortions.

This statement is from Comrade Newsom’s politburo in Sacramento.

“In California, we believe everyone deserves access to quality, affordable health care coverage – regardless of income or immigration status,” Gov. Newsom’s Communist politburo office said in response to a News request for comment.

“Through this expansion, we’re making sure families and communities across California are healthier, stronger, and able to get the care they need when they need it.”

Basically what the communist dictator of California is saying is criminal illegal immigrants that broke congressional immigration laws (that actually must be deported) will be given priority over American citizens and homeless veteran’s.

And – the do nothing weak spineless useless waste of tax payer money California Senate Republican Caucus only criticized the move in their an analysis of the 2022-23 governor’s budget. Cheap words from a none functioning Republican political party.

What did they do about it ? Not a darn thing.

Because California is being turned into a Communist government dependency nanny state over one third of California’s population is now sucking off the Newsom mammary gland.

This is about 14.6 million Californians. So why not add another 764,000 criminal illegal immigrants to the free stuff list.

So instead of enforcing U.S. congressional immigration law by denying any benefit to an illegal immigrant at the detriment of American citizens including homeless veterans the Communists running the California Health and Human Services Agency is going to spend $835.6 million in 2024 and $2.6 billion thereafter to keep these illegal immigrants fit and healthy.

I am not sure where the Golden Shower State of California is going to get this money from to fund all this healthcare for criminal illegal immigrants but it sure is interesting to watch the slow financial demise of this once prosperous and beautiful economically viable state.

Maybe in the future an American ran California legislature could write a bill to charge the illegal immigrants consulate or embassy in Washington DC for their emergency healthcare costs and a bill to totally deny all benefits to the rest of these criminals instead of using American tax payers dollars.

Watch: ‘Death or Rape’ Paris Girl Recounts Being Savagely Sexually Assaulted by ‘African Migrant’ who France Failed to Deport

December 31, 2023

By Dr. Rich Swier

Sadly, we once again are reporting on women being sexually assaulted by a migrant. Below is a report by journalist Amy Mek and two interviews on French television with Claire, a Paris girl, who was savagely raped in the lobby of her own apartment building by an “African migrant” identified as a threat by the French government and set for deportation.

The RAIR Foundation in an article titled “‘Death or Rape’: French Woman Recounts Harrowing Sexual Assault By African Migrant Who the State Failed to Deport Despite Order to Leave (Video)” Amy Mek reported,

“And the problem is that today, many women are raped in France, with three out of four of them being victims of this kind of individual [illegal migrants] every minute.”

France – In recent video interviews with former French presidential candidate Éric Zemmour and on French TV CNews, a young woman named Claire shared her harrowing experience. She recounted a sexual assault by a 25-year-old illegal African migrant and passionately called for stronger immigration enforcement to protect women in the country. Claire’s powerful testimony shines a spotlight on the urgent need for stricter immigration laws and more significant measures to ensure the safety of French citizens.

Claire’s interview with Zemmour began with her expressing her outrage over the government’s failure to enforce an “obligation to leave French territory” (OQTF) order against her attacker. She revealed that her assailant, who was from Central Africa and already under an OQTF order, had brutally raped her. Shockingly, Claire disclosed that three out of four women raped in France are victimized by individuals [illegal migrants] like her attacker.

Claire recounted the horrifying incident that took place on November 11th. Claire had been returning home after a shopping trip in the 8th arrondissement of Paris when a man followed her. As soon as she entered her building’s entrance hall, he attacked her, threatening to kill her:

“I was returning home, and a man followed me. As soon as I crossed the entrance hall, he jumped on me and attacked me. He said he would kill me. And in fact, after that, he wanted more. At first, I thought he just wanted to steal my stuff, except that, in fact, he wanted more. So he raped me. It lasted a very, very long time. He said ‘I’m going to kill you’ repeatedly. He even really held me very, very tight on my mouth; he put his hands on my mouth, and he strangled me, too. Very, very hard. And in fact, I thought he really was going to kill me. And that, in any case, the only way for me to get through it so that I wouldn’t die was to do as I was told. I was half naked in my entrance hall, blood-soaked. And then he walked away, as if he had done nothing.”

The Bottom Line

As we close out the year of 2023 we want to give our readers our list of the biggest political winners and losers of 2023.

We believe that in America we now have only two parties. The “Party of Traitors” and the “Party of Patriots.”

Members of the party of traitors have been the biggest losers of 2023.

We firmly believe that the Party of Patriots will be the biggest winners in 2024.

Biggest Political Winners of 2023

Our Editorial Board picked these at the biggest political winners of 2023:

Those American patriots who are part of the “drain the swamp” movement. These patriots represent we the people. We all have suffered the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune of big government and we know the pain that bad things happening can feel like. Be we American patriots remain strong and we will win in the end, let there be no doubt about it.
President Donald J. Trump and his family. This is the leader of the make America great again movement. President Trump’s goal has always been to destroy big government, drain the swamp and return power to the American people. President Trump has an America first policy.
The President of Argentina Javier Milei. President Milei is a libertarian and, much like President Trump, has begun the process of cutting the Communists out of his government and returning power back to the people.
Prime Minister of Holland Geert Wilders. Prime Minister Wilders understands that his country has been overrun with migrants who do not and neve will hold the values of the people o Holland. Here is what PM Wilders said about Israel, “If Jerusalem falls into the hands of the Muslims, Athens and Rome will be next. Thus, Jerusalem is the main front protecting the West. It is not a conflict over territory but rather an ideological battle, between the mentality of the liberated West and the ideology of Islamic barbarism. There has been an independent Palestinian state since 1946, and it is the kingdom of Jordan.”
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Prime Minister Netanyahu has since the October 6th, 2023 barbaric attack by Hamas on innocent children, women and men become the force behind the mission to rid the world of terrorist organizations like Hamas, Hezbollah and fight against their mentors in Iran. PM Netanyahu is fighting a holy war to keep Judea and the Holy Land free from those who want to destroy it. May the God of Abraham be with him and the Israeli Defense Forces.

Biggest Political Losers of 2023

One America News Network did a video on the biggest political losers of 2023. We agree with their assessment.

We consider those members of the Party of Traitors are the biggest losers in 2023. These traitors self-identify as Socialists, Marxists, Communists and since October 6th supporters of Hamas.

The leader of the Party of Traitors is Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr. We include in the Party of Traitors any politician from the school house to the White House who does not support we the people’s God given rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Any politician who’s policies are not pro Faith, Family and Freedom is a traitor.

WATCH: Biggest Political Losers Of 2023

On Tuesday, November 5, 2024 we the people have a choice. That choice is voting for the traitors or voting for the patriots. It is a good versus evil choice.

It’s as simple as that.

LEGAL Immigration versus Joe Biden’s Open Border Free Pass — A Personal Experience

December 31, 2023

By Geoff Ross

The U.S. Border Patrol on our southern border have been retrained to book illegal immigrants entering our republic as indefinite tourists by offering them free hotels, free meals, a bus or plane ride and free medical care.

American taxpayers are footing the bill with money borrowed from Communist China or printed in the Treasury Dept.

With that said, let me walk you through the legal process to enter the USA as a legal permanent resident as experienced by my fiancée and soon to be wife the beautiful Karina from Caracas Venezuela, who has been living under a protective status in Colombia for the past 5 years.

After dating for over a year with multiple trips to Colombia and after spending over 18 months of quality time with Karina I filed for her K1 Fiancée Visa with U.S Customs and Immigration Services AKA USCIS on April 18th 2022. Price of visa $535.00

After 407 days or 13.5 months of waiting for adjudication of her visa request I finally received an approval for her called a Notice Of Action Letter 2. My income is way above the federal threshold requirement to qualify for the visa so all went well.

Compare this to Joe Biden’s alternative reality where an illegal immigrant can just walk up to a Border Patrol Officer on our southern border and enter the USA within an hour of waiting after claiming some bogus asylum request. No income required for self support, no sponsor, just a free hand out waiting for them..

After waiting 407 days Karina then had to wait another 119 days for the National Visa Center (NVC) in New Hampshire to issue her a welcome letter, a document critical in continuing this process.

Illegal Immigrants don’t get a legal welcome letter, they get a hand shake, a free cell phone and a plane ride to Chicago or New York City plus a job offer and free health care from some Communist Mayor in a Sanctuary City.

On September 27th, 2023 I received the email from the U.S. Embassy in Bogota Colombia stating that Karina’s visa was enroute to them from the NVC. On October 5th, 2023 I received an email from the Embassy stating her Visa was in “Ready Status” for processing.

On October 8th 2023 I received an email from the Embassy in Bogota telling me to start processing her visa payment and schedule her face to face consular interview and to schedule her biometrics and medical exam.

Illegal Immigrants claiming bogus asylum on our borders do not have to pay any visa fees, they are not subject to medical exams, they do not have to present proof of vaccinations or be biometrically photographed and fingerprinted.

On October 15th 2023 I paid the visa fee of $265 and scheduled the face to face consular visa interview for Karina at the U.S. Embassy in Bogota Colombia on November 16th 2023 at 700 AM.

First she had a biometrics appointment to verify her identity on November 8th, 2023. Then she had her medical exam and blood work processed on November 9th, 2023. She was missing two vaccinations which I paid for on my credit card. Cost of medical exam, chest X ray, blood work and vaccinations $300 plus.

Illegal Immigrants do not have to verify vaccinations, they are exempt from mandatory Covid vaccinations, they do not have to prove they are free from tuberculosis. Biden’s world of insanity!

On November 16th, 2023 Karina attended her face to face 30 minute interrogation with an embassy consular officer at the U.S. Embassy in Bogota. She brought all the required documents including her police security investigations from Colombia and Venezuela.

Illegal Immigrants get a free pass. They enter our republic with no police certificates, no vetting and without a stressful consular interview.

The Consular Officer approved Karina’s visa to enter the USA but he demanded an Interpol Police Certificate and a letter from the President of Colombia before he would issue it stating that she never gave aid to FARC Communists in Colombia. Seriously

Karina denounced the Communist government of Venezuela years ago and was given a ten year protective status in Colombia for this reason. This extra step by the Consular Officer was unnecessary, but remember Biden’s team dislikes future Venezuelan conservatives like Karina from entering the USA legally.

Biden though has no problem with Communists entering the USA. Look at the thousands of 18 to 30 year old male Communist Chinese so called asylum seekers who have entered our republic with zero vetting.

After 3 weeks we got a letter from the President of Colombia and Interpol showing and stating that Karina was under a ten year protective status in Colombia and was not a member of FARC.

None of these documents are required by the thousands and thousands of illegals entering our republic daily. Only foreign nationals entering legally after following congressional due process are subject to this intense vetting.

The total processing time for Karina to legally enter the USA after a thorough medical exam, blood work, an FBI Investigative check, a Venezuelan Police check, a Colombian Police Investigation, an Interpol Police Investigation, and a character reference letter from the President of Colombia was 626 days or 20.8 months.

For a bogus asylum seeker to enter the USA the processing time is 1 hour or less.

On January 3rd 2024 Karina and I will fly from Bogota, Colombia to Miami International Airport on Avianca, Flight AV 6. Then she gets interviewed again by the U.S. Border and Customs Patrol and a Form I 94 will be generated to prove legal entry into the USA.

Illegal immigrants seeking bogus asylum do not need any further vetting. The Biden Communists are deliberately trying to destabilize and dismantle our constitutional republic with all these criminal illegal immigrants.

We on the other hand did this the right way and hopefully in January 2025 the next President will start deporting all these millions of unwelcome illegal immigrants draining the U.S. taxpayer coffers offering nothing and only taking the free Biden handouts we pay for.

Those American patriots who are part of the “drain the swamp” movement. These patriots represent we the people. We all have suffered the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune of big government and we know the pain that bad things happening can feel like. Be we American patriots remain strong and we will win in the end, let there be no doubt about it.
President Donald J. Trump and his family. This is the leader of the make America great again movement. President Trump’s goal has always been to destroy big government, drain the swamp and return power to the American people. President Trump has an America first policy.
The President of Argentina Javier Milei. President Milei is a libertarian and, much like President Trump, has begun the process of cutting the Communists out of his government and returning power back to the people.
Prime Minister of Holland Geert Wilders. Prime Minister Wilders understands that his country has been overrun with migrants who do not and neve will hold the values of the people o Holland. Here is what PM Wilders said about Israel, “If Jerusalem falls into the hands of the Muslims, Athens and Rome will be next. Thus, Jerusalem is the main front protecting the West. It is not a conflict over territory but rather an ideological battle, between the mentality of the liberated West and the ideology of Islamic barbarism. There has been an independent Palestinian state since 1946, and it is the kingdom of Jordan.”
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Prime Minister Netanyahu has since the October 6th, 2023 barbaric attack by Hamas on innocent children, women and men become the force behind the mission to rid the world of terrorist organizations like Hamas, Hezbollah and fight against their mentors in Iran. PM Netanyahu is fighting a holy war to keep Judea and the Holy Land free from those who want to destroy it. May the God of Abraham be with him and the Israeli Defense Forces.

Biggest Political Losers of 2023

One America News Network did a video on the biggest political losers of 2023. We agree with their assessment.

We consider those members of the Party of Traitors are the biggest losers in 2023. These traitors self-identify as Socialists, Marxists, Communists and since October 6th supporters of Hamas.

The leader of the Party of Traitors is Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr. We include in the Party of Traitors any politician from the school house to the White House who does not support we the people’s God given rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Any politician who’s policies are not pro Faith, Family and Freedom is a traitor.

WATCH: Biggest Political Losers Of 2023

On Tuesday, November 5, 2024 we the people have a choice. That choice is voting for the traitors or voting for the patriots. It is a good versus evil choice.

It’s as simple as that.

Immigration Court Backlog Explodes to a Record 3 Million, Judges Average 4,500 Cases

December 29, 2023

By Judicial Watch

Besides crushing records for letting unparalleled amounts of illegal immigrants into the U.S., the Biden administration’s catastrophic open border policies are slamming the nation’s Immigration Court System with an unimaginable backlog not seen under any president. In November, the Immigration Court backlog exceeded 3 million pending cases, a shocking increase of around a million during a period of just 12 months. A new report issued this week by the nonpartisan Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC) at Syracuse University provides the ghastly figures taken straight from the government.

“Immigration Judges are swamped,” the report states, revealing that they average an inconceivable 4,500 pending cases each. “If every person with a pending immigration case were gathered together, it would be larger than the population of Chicago, the third largest city in the United States,” TRAC researchers write. “Indeed, the number of waiting immigrants in the Court’s backlog is now larger than the population found in many states.” The university data analysts found that previous administrations also failed to tackle the Immigration Court backlog but point out that this is in a class of its own because the “accelerating growth in the Court’s backlog has transformed the problem into an even more daunting challenge.”

During just the last quarter of fiscal year 2023—which runs from July to September—the backlog spiked by a remarkable 400,000 cases marking an average increase of 130,000 cases per month. Fiscal year 2024 started off with a bang as well with an even higher average of 140,000 cases a month during the first quarter of October to November, according to government figures provided in the document. As a point of comparison, at the end of Obama’s presidency the backlog stood at 516,031, which is around one-sixth of what it is now. At the time 278 immigration judges had an annual caseload of 1,850 and they completed an average of around 750 cases each year, TRAC reveals. Under Trump the number of judges grew to 484 and they had an average caseload of about 2,600 each.

Even though the Biden administration hired many more judges the U.S. Immigration Court system, which operates under the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR), cannot possibly keep up. There are currently 682 immigration judges, according to figures provided in the EOIR’s latest personnel records, and each judge closed an average of about 975 cases during the latest fiscal year. “This is a closure rate nearly a third greater than seven years ago during the final year of the Obama administration,” the TRAC report states. “Even so, more judges and higher case closures per judge have still not been able to keep pace with the flow of incoming cases. Thus, average caseloads of the 682 judges now on the bench have jumped to 4,500 per judge.”

The crisis began almost immediately after Biden became president thanks to his disastrous open border policies. By the end of his first year in office, illegal immigration was a huge problem and the overwhelmed U.S. Immigration Court system suffered through the largest backlog of cases in history up until that point. At the time it was a then-shocking 1,596,193 cases and few imagined it would skyrocket to the current figures. The COVID-19 pandemic played a role because it caused a partial court shutdown, but the main culprit was an avalanche of new cases filed by the Biden Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Now the deluge is so bad that some illegal immigrants seeking asylum may wait a decade before getting a court date thanks to Biden’s catch-and-release policy that allows migrants to live in the U.S. while they wait to see a judge.

Biden Targets and Deports Legitimate Asylum Seekers to Venezuelan Jails

December 27, 2023

By Geoff Ross

The installed Marxist dictatorship operating in the White House ran by the corrupt Joe Biden and his evil entourage continue to work closely with the criminal Narco Communist (indicted by the former Trump Administration) the installed President of Communist Venezuela Nicolas Maduro.

Former President Trump’s State Department offered a reward of up to $15 million for information leading to the arrest of this Narco drug trafficking Communist installed President of Venezuela.

Under the current Biden Administration, whether it’s buying Communist controlled oil from Caracas or deporting Venezuelans with legitimate asylum cases (who fear for their lives) back to Venezuela, Joe Biden is the epitome of pure Marxist tyranny undermining everything Trump put in place to help defeat this horrible Communist regime.

In order to help dismantle and block the flow of hard currency like U.S. dollars into Venezuela (which went directly to the Communist government), former President Trump signed Executive Order (EO) 13884 on August 5th 2019 preventing American citizens from engaging in pretty much all financial transactions with the Venezuelan government. Biden is an American citizen right?

The corrupt Marxist Joe Biden has since been aiding the Marxist Maduro government obtain US dollars by lifting sanctions and purchasing Venezuelan oil which has injected millions and millions of dollars into Maduro’s Marxist regime.

This has significantly helped fund the Venezuelan military and expand the reach of Communist Venezuela enabling Maduro to threaten Venezuela’s local neighbors like the free country of Guyana.

Former President Trump also signed an Executive Order limiting the communist government of Maduro from liquidating assets after the sham/fraud election in Venezuela in 2018. We too experienced a sham fraud election in the USA in 2020.

An estimated 4 – 6 million Venezuelans have fled this Communist dictatorship over the years to countries like the United States, Colombia, Chile, Peru, Argentina, Brazil and Central America.

Including my fiancée living here in Bogotá Colombia who was granted a protective status order by the conservative Colombian congress giving her legal residency here in Colombia for ten years.

The economic destruction of Venezuela by the Communist dictatorship has led to 14,000 percent inflation decimating the minimum wage to a value of less than $2 a month.

The United States is on the same inflationary path as Venezuela as evident by the insane tax and spend and printing of dollars to fund more government socialist crap being intentionally inflicted on our republic by the Biden Administrations reign of terror.

Very important. Former President Trump gave Venezuelans in exile in the United States protection from deportation.

Before leaving office Trump used the Deferred Enforced Departure Program or DED giving temporary legal status to Venezuelans who escaped from the humanitarian crisis created by Maduro’s Communist dictatorship.

Trump put his strong Presidential arm of protection around these good people providing Venezuelans and Cubans an opportunity to get work permits in the USA.

All this while the fake news media in the USA controlled by the Communist Democrats called Trump a racist who hates Latinos and Latina’s all because he wants a secure border.

Only the President has this authority using the DED process overriding the Department of Homeland Security. Now Comrade Biden does the opposite.

Biden, the corrupt Marxist in the White House understands these good people from Venezuela and Cuba given asylum by former President Trump are possibly future Republicans and or political conservative independent voters like myself.

Thus Biden has been coordinating with the Marxist Maduro in Venezuela and the Cuban government in Havana by deporting these courageous Venezuelans and Cubans granted asylum by Trump.

They are continually being rounded up from cities like Miami and deported to Caracas and Havana many of whom are now in Venezuelan and Cuban jails as political prisoners.

As an example, former Venezuelan helicopter pilot lieutenant Pedro Naranjo and his father a retired General in the Venezuelan army plotted against the Venezuelan dictator Maduro to free their country from his tyrannical fist of oppression.

They both finally fled to the USA together out of fear of their lives.

Trump offered them sanctuary but the Biden Administration ordered the deportation of this brave helicopter pilot back to Venezuela.

Lieutenant Pedro Naranjo formerly free in the USA with an extensive knowledge of the Venezuelan flight school operations critical to help US military intelligence now sits in a Venezuelan military prison as a political prisoner of Maduro thanks to Joe Biden.

Lieutenant Naranjo’s father is still in political limbo in the USA separated from his son with threat of a Venezuelan prison after he’s deported much like many of the J6 protesters who are now political prisoners of the corrupt Biden installed government.

In November 2024 we MUST re-elect President Trump and we the people must remove this illegitimate President Joe Biden from office via the electoral process and ensure the integrity of our elections by banning mail in ballots.

Not only for the sake of our Republic but for global peace and security and freedom for the good citizens of Venezuela, Cuba and all of Central and South America.

BIDENOMICS: The Mexican Drug Cartels Raking in $338 Million Weekly Transporting Illegal Aliens to U.S.

Since January 20, 2020 not a single Democrat has yet woken-up or spoken-up or seen just how screwed they and we the people truly are.

It was reported recently that 45,000 illegal aliens crossed the Southern border. The cartels are now charging between $5,000 to $10,000 per illegal alien, this does not include those little boys and girls who are being human trafficked each and every day to be sold as sex slaves.

Doing the simple math and using an “average fee” of $7,500 — that amounts to a $338 million monthly “take” for the cartels — or on a daily basis, about $85 million.

We wonder how much the Biden Crime Family gets from the Cartels for being so very good to them?

Using the above numbers the cartels are making a minimum of $4.056 billion per year thanks to Joe, so a large payback is in order.

Perhaps they could be reported to the IRS as a “finder’s fee”?

One of our readers wrote, “The American taxpayer is paying for these people to be rewarded for breaking our laws. Estimates put the taxpayer funded cost of illegal aliens at $490 billion annually but soon going higher because it is expected another 3 million more invaders will arrive before the traitor in the White House leaves, unless the Good Lord takes pity on us sooner than that and sends Joe to his well-earned fate in Hell.”

Mayorkas Enabled Huge ‘Waste And Abuse’ Of Taxpayer Dollars In Handling Of Border Crisis, GOP Probe Finds

December 21, 2023

By The Daily Caller

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is directly responsible for massive “waste and abuse” of taxpayer dollars in his handling of the crisis at the southern border, according to a new report by the House Homeland Security Committee first obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.

Under Mayorkas’ leadership, the use of hotel rooms to house illegal migrants instead of taxpayer-funded beds in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facilities, along with the cancellation of former President Donald Trump’s border wall construction, have resulted in massive overspending and waste on the American taxpayers’ dime, according to the report. The report marks the final portion of Committee Chairman Mark Green’s investigation into Mayorkas that kicked off in June.

Republican Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green filed articles of impeachment against Mayorkas, a move that Democrats killed. The Homeland Security Committee is set to take up the proceedings early into 2024, a committee staffer told the DCNF.

“In keeping with the House of Representatives’ vote last month to refer articles of impeachment against Secretary Mayorkas to our Committee, we will be moving swiftly into impeachment proceedings in the new year,” the committee staffer said.

ICE projected that each bed costs $142.44 or less in its fiscal year 2024 budget request to Congress, according to the report. Meanwhile, the Biden administration has contracted companies to help house illegal migrants in hotels, a much more costly decision.

“From halting construction on a bought-and-paid-for border wall to leaving detention beds empty and empowering anti-enforcement officials at ICE, Secretary Mayorkas’ reckless decision-making and open-borders policies have led to the waste and abuse of billions of taxpayer dollars,” Green said in a statement to the DCNF.

The administration awarded a roughly $86 million contract to house illegal migrant families at hotels for the cost of $392 per night. An April 2022 inspector general’s report found that “ICE did not adequately justify the need for the sole source contract to house migrant families and spent approximately $17 million for hotel space and services at six hotels that went largely unused between April and June 2021.”

“ICE’s sole source contract with Endeavors resulted in millions of dollars being spent on unused hotel space,” the inspector general reported.

Additionally, the committee’s report found that states are having to bear the brunt of the costs of housing illegal migrants that DHS is “purposefully passing.” Each day, it costs New York city roughly $339 to house each family and $184 for single adults.

“Our most recent report showed how cities and states across this country are paying the financial price of those policies. What this evidence shows is that the federal government is also wasting taxpayer resources on a massive scale. This latest report provides much-needed transparency for the American people, who should not be forced to pay the cost of Mayorkas’ refusal to enforce the law any longer,” Green said.

Illegal Migrant Encounters At The Southern Border Surpass 547,000 In Less Than Three Months

December 21, 2023

By The Daily Caller

Border Patrol encounters of migrants crossing the southern border illegally surpassed 547,000 less than three months into fiscal year 2024, according to preliminary internal data obtained exclusively by the Daily Caller News Foundation.

The number of encounters, which reached 547,593 on Thursday morning, is higher than the number of encounters recorded in the first three months of any fiscal year before President Joe Biden took office, according to federal data going back to 1999. Between October and December 2022, Border Patrol recorded 634,832 encounters of illegal migrants, according to federal data.

Border Patrol recorded 153,613 encounters during the first three months of fiscal year 2019, and 101,779 encounters during that same time period in fiscal year 2020, according to federal data. It recorded 209,342 encounters between October and December in fiscal year 2021 and 496,730 encounters those same months in fiscal year 2022.

As of early Thursday, Border Patrol had more than 24,000 illegal migrants in custody nationwide, according to the data, which showed that three sectors of the southern border, Del Rio, Rio Grande Valley and Tucson, exceeded holding capacity. On Wednesday, Border Patrol had released 8,388 illegal migrants into the country.

The Del Rio sector of Texas, which encompasses Eagle Pass, exceeded 190% capacity, according to the data.

Border Patrol had more than 23,000 migrants in custody as of Tuesday evening after releasing more than 6,000 others from custody and into the country.

“The encounter levels we are currently seeing across the southwest border are presenting a serious challenge to the men and women of CBP. To meet this challenge, we are using all available resources to ensure the safety and security of our agents and officers, and the migrants who are often misled and victimized by the transnational criminal organizations,” Troy A. Miller, senior official performing the duties of the commissioner of Customs and Border Protection (CBP), said in a statement to the DCNF on Wednesday.

“These smugglers are recklessly putting migrants into harm’s way: in remote locations across the border, onto the tops of trains, or into the waters of the Rio Grande River,” Miller added. “We continue to go after the smugglers and are implementing new measures to impose consequences on transportation companies including bus and van lines used by smuggling organizations and nefarious actors to move migrants through northern Mexico and to our southwest border. CBP and our federal partners need additional funding from Congress so that we can continue to effectuate consequences for those who do not use the established pathways.”

CBP closed several ports of entry and railways in San Ysidro, California, Lukeville, Arizona and El Paso and Eagle Pass, Texas, allowing 100 Office of Field Operations employees as well as law enforcement personnel from other agencies, including the Bureau of Prisons, to help Border Patrol, an agency spokesperson told the DCNF.

Greg Abbott Signs Bill Allowing Texas Cops To Arrest Illegal Aliens

December 19, 2023

By The Daily Caller

Republican Gov. Greg Abbott of Texas signed legislation Monday allowing local law enforcement officers to arrest illegal aliens.

Abbott’s signature on the legislation, known as SB4, means it will enter into law in March 2024, CBS News reported. The legislation makes illegal entry into Texas a state misdemeanor, CBS reported, with those convicted under the law facing a fine of up to $2,000 or 180 days in jail.

Repeat offenders could face a felony charge and up to 20 years in jail.

“The goal of Senate Bill 4 is to stop the tidal wave of illegal entry into Texas,” Abbott said as he signed the bill in the border city of Brownsville, according to CBS.

Opponents of the measure claim it is unconstitutional and have criticized the Biden administration for not opposing Texas’ efforts more strongly, according to The Associated Press.

The Border Patrol shut down two bridges on the Texas border to combat the entry of illegal aliens on rail cars hours before Abbott signed the legislation, according to the San Antonio News-Express.

Over 188,000 illegal immigrants have been encountered at the U.S.-Mexico border during fiscal year 2024, according to data released by United States Customs and Border Protection, following 2,045,838 encounters in fiscal year 2023, 2,206,436 in fiscal year 2022 and 1,659,206 in fiscal year 2021. A CBP official told the Washington Examiner that there were at least one million “gotaways,” people who evaded Border Patrol, in fiscal year 2023.

VIDEO: USA’s Child Trafficking Crisis • Unmasking the Hidden Epidemic

December 19, 2023

By Dr. Rich Swier

In the United States, a silent epidemic is raging, mostly unnoticed, yet devastating in its impact. Child trafficking, a term that evokes horror and disbelief, is not a problem confined to remote parts of the world. It is happening right here, in our neighborhoods, in our cities, and across our nation. This blog post aims to shed light on this hidden epidemic, underscoring the problems, the solutions, and how each one of us can join hands in supporting the mission to protect our children and be part of the solution.

Understanding the Issue

Child trafficking involves the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring, or receipt of children for the purpose of exploitation. This exploitation can range from forced labor and organ trade to sexual exploitation. In the digital age, online predation has given traffickers new tools, making it easier for them to exploit innocent lives, often hiding in plain sight.

The Stark Reality

The USA is the main source and destination for this nefarious industry on the planet.
Annually, it’s estimated to generate a staggering $38-50 billion within the country.
On average, 1 predator victimizes around 70 children in their lifetime.

These numbers are not just statistics; they represent real children, real suffering, and a real call to action.

The Heart of the Problem

While trafficking thrives in the shadows, some contributing factors to its rise include:

Lack of Awareness: The misconception that child trafficking is a foreign problem prevents effective local action.
Technological Advancement: The internet has provided traffickers with tools to operate discreetly and efficiently.
Gaps in the System: Loopholes in our legal and social systems are often exploited by traffickers.

Actionable Solutions

Education and Awareness: Informing the public, educating our children about online safety, and training law enforcement on recognizing the signs of trafficking are crucial steps.
Strengthen Laws: Advocating for stricter laws and penalties for traffickers is essential in deterring this crime.
Support Frontline Organizations: Groups like Veterans For Child Rescue are vital in the fight against child trafficking. They conduct operations to arrest traffickers and rescue children.

Demanding Accountability

It’s time for us, as a society, to hold our leaders accountable. The government must prioritize child safety and allocate more resources towards combating trafficking. When we unite as a collective voice, our impact can be monumental.

Join the Fight

Child trafficking is a grave issue, but it is not insurmountable. With determination, unity, and action, we can make a significant difference. Vets4ChildRescue.org is at the forefront of this battle, but they need our support.

Support the Mission: Your contribution, whether through donations, raising awareness, or volunteering, can make a tremendous difference in the lives of vulnerable children.
Educate Yourself and Others: Knowledge is power. The more we know and share about this issue, the harder it becomes for traffickers to operate.

Advocate for stronger laws and better systems to protect our children.

CLICK HERE TO WRITE YOUR ELECTED OFFICIALS

Teaching children and teenagers about the dangers of trafficking and online safety can equip them with the knowledge to protect themselves and their peers.

If you see something, say something. Your vigilance can save a life.

In conclusion, while the battle against child trafficking in the USA is daunting, it is one that we can win. By raising awareness, advocating for change, and supporting organizations that are truly making a positive impact, we can protect our children and create a safer future. The time to act is now. Join us in this vital mission, and be a part of the solution. Together, we can and will eradicate child trafficking from our nation.

NOT SATIRE: LAPD Swears in Police Officers Who are DACA Recipients and Entered the U.S. Illegally

December 18, 2023

By The Geller Report

What could possibly go wrong? How long before they are swearing in convicts?

Not satire: LAPD swears in police officers who are DACA recipients and entered US illegally

by: Pat Droney, Law Enforcement TODAY, December 15, 2023;

LOS ANGELES, CA – If you set out to destroy a country, you couldn’t do any worse than what they’ve done in Los Angeles, where the first group of illegal aliens in the country are set to graduate from the Los Angeles Police Academy.

You read that correctly–people who entered the country illegally will be on the streets of LA enforcing the law. No, this is not satire from the Babylon Bee.

Worse yet, the group of DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) LAPD recruits are not, by virtue of their undocumented status, permitted to carry their city-issued firearms when they are off-duty, NBC Los Angeles reports.

Under federal law, DACA aliens are prohibited from possessing either guns or ammunition, but the LAPD has found a workaround for that little problem. They will simply consider off-duty hours part of the definition of “performance of their official duties or other law enforcement purpose,” which will allow these individuals to carry their issued firearms off-duty, a new police policy memo reads.

“We’ve sought information from our federal and state and City attorney to understand what does the policy needs [sic] to discuss to articulate the basis of which a DACA individual, now a police officer, can lawfully carry and possess a firearm and ammunition,” Chief Michel Moore told the outlet, channeling his best Kamala Harris word salad.

‘Clear And Present Danger’: Ron Johnson Rips Biden For Lax Security Amid Discovery Of IEDs At Border

December 16, 2023

By The Daily Caller

Republican Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin blasted President Joe Biden on Friday following reports that multiple improvised explosive devices (IEDs) were discovered on the U.S.-Mexico border.

Mexican authorities found ten IEDs shortly after a border patrol agent arrested a man with a loaded AK-47 rifle near Tucson, Arizona, Fox Business reported. “The fact of the matter is Biden’s open border policy is a clear and present danger to America, but he wants an open border,” Johnson told Fox Business host Larry Kudlow.

WATCH:

“The Democrats want an open border,” Johnson continued. “This negotiation is a farce. If President Biden was serious about closing the border, he’d come — and he needs more authority. Remember President Trump, using current law before Title 42, pretty well brought the border under control over a period of 12 months… It requires willpower and requires a desire to actually close the border, which the Democrats don’t have.”

Over 188,000 illegal immigrants were encountered at the U.S.-Mexico border in October, according to data released by United States Customs and Border Protection, following 2,045,838 encounters in fiscal year 2023, 2,206,436 in fiscal year 2022 and 1,659,206 in fiscal year 2021. CBP officials told the Washington Examiner that there were at least 1 million “gotaways,” people who evaded Border Patrol, in fiscal year 2023.

“If President Biden was actually serious about that and needs more authority, he would just come to Congress and we would give him that authority,” Johnson said. “He hasn’t done that and Speaker Johnson’s been very clear and if you want to negotiate on the border, we’re here. They didn’t, they all of a sudden got serious the day we left Congress and left Washington, D.C. So, they’re not serious about this.”

Democratic Sen. Ben Cardin of Maryland told the Daily Caller News Foundation that funding for Ukraine was more important than border security Thursday, as Republicans and Democrats clashed over Biden’s request for aid to Ukraine and Israel.

“So we better not be Charlie Brown to the Left’s Lucy on this,” Johnson continued. “We do need to stand fast and demand border security. Language won’t do it, policy won’t do it and we’ll actually implement the pass and one we have a closed border as opposed to the open border this president wants.”

EXCLUSIVE: ‘Shot Between The Eyes’ — Border Patrol Chiefs Testify On Cartel Violence Against Border-Crossers

December 11, 2023

By The Daily Caller

Several Border Patrol sector chiefs testified to Congress in recent months that migrants who cross the southern border without the help of human smugglers are often retaliated against by the cartels in Mexico, according to a transcript of closed-door testimony exclusively obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.

The Border Patrol chief of the Laredo sector, Joel Martinez, for example, testified in June to the House Homeland Security Committee that in one instance, migrants who chose to not use the cartels were shot in between the eyes and had half their head blown off. Border Patrol agents along the southern border have seen a record increase in recent years, recording more than 2.2 million encounters of migrants crossing illegally in fiscal year 2022 and more than 2 million in fiscal year 2023, according to federal data.

“For starters, if you go down the river without their permission—every section of river has a boss that owns that particular part of the river. If you go down there without their permission, they can either beat you or hit you with, like, a paddle, and they’ve been known to shoot people, you name it. That’s how they—they rule through intimidation, so that’s a very common practice,” Martinez testified.

“The other day, we had two people wash up to our shores, and they had no identification on them, but we’re thinking they were migrants that went down there without permission. One of them had his head halfway blown off, and the other one was shot between the eyes,” Martinez added.

Republicans on Capitol Hill have blamed the Biden administration and its Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for the sharp rise in illegal crossings. Republican Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene reintroduced articles of impeachment against Mayorkas for a third time at the end of November, citing the crisis at the southern border.

House Homeland Committee Chairman Mark Green has been investigating Mayorkas because he’s allegedly been derelict of his duty in handling the southern border.

“Thanks to Secretary Mayorkas’ policies, criminal cartels now exercise unprecedented control of the Southwest border. They have taken advantage of his refusal to enforce the immigration laws passed by Congress, strategically overwhelming Border Patrol agents with illegal crossings in one area so they can push record numbers of people and deadly drugs across in another,” Green said in a statement to the DCNF.

“It’s no wonder that the former chief of the Border Patrol told Congress earlier this year that the cartels ‘control the border today’ because of illegal immigration ‘to a level that they’ve never had.’ And let’s not lose sight of the fact that the consequences have been disastrous not just for American citizens suffering from fentanyl poisonings and families shattered by illegal alien crime—the migrants themselves are suffering and dying in record numbers,” Green said.

The cartels control the traffic crossing the southern border into the U.S., making it extremely difficult to traverse the area without soliciting their help, the chiefs testified. Crossing without them often comes with a cost.

“The organizations that own those lanes get paid for every thing and person that crosses in that area. So they are afforded a payment for everything that goes through, and they don’t want to lose that payment. And so we have run into individuals who have been robbed or beaten when they’ve tried to make it through without contacting one of the people in charge of that area,” Chief Patrol Agent for the San Diego Sector Aaron Heitke testified to the committee on May 9.

Chief Patrol Agent for the El Centro Sector Gregory Bovino testified on July 12 that while it’s “uncommon,” crossing without the help of cartels would result in “consequences” for migrants.

“The transnational criminal organizations would apply a consequence to an individual that tried to cross without going through them,” Chief Patrol Agent for the El Paso Sector Anthony “Scott” Good testified on June 29.

Chief Patrol Agent for the Tucson Sector John Modlin testified on July 26 that agents in the area have come across migrants who have been “beaten” for trying to cross the southern border without paying the cartels.

Senate Republicans Block Key Vote for Foreign Aid Package without Border Security

December 11, 2023

By Federation for American Immigration Reform

Last Wednesday, Senate Republicans blocked consideration of President Biden’s foreign aid package because congressional Democrats refused to include meaningful provisions to secure our own borders. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) attempted to bring the package to the floor for a key procedural vote — a vote to proceed to debate, which requires a 60-vote threshold – but was unable to secure any Republican votes. The final tally was 49-51, with two Democrats also voting no for unrelated reasons.

The foreign aid package included funding for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, along with more money to continue processing and releasing illegal aliens at the southern border. The bill largely follows the Biden Administration’s supplemental funding request from October, including money for the border that would do nothing but reinforce the broken system without changing the policies that have fueled the crisis.

Schumer’s move followed several weeks of border security negotiations that saw Republicans pushing for commonsense reforms to end asylum abuse and stop unlimited parole authority. Democrats meanwhile, were attempting to paint the discussions as “hard-right” while raising the idea of amnesty once again. The negotiations stalled right before the vote, with both sides expressing frustration.

The Senate group leading border security talks, in coordination with Senate leadership, restarted discussions on Thursday, noting that a new proposal is now on the table. That group is made up of Republicans James Lankford (R-Okla.), Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) and Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), along with Democrats Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), Krysten Sinema (I-Ariz.) and Michael Bennet (D-Colo.).

Senior Senate Republicans also held a press conference Thursday, making clear their continued commitment to border security changes as part of the foreign aid package. Attending senators included Graham, Cotton, Tillis, John Thune (S.D.), Chuck Grassley (Iowa), John Cornyn (Texas), and Katie Britt (Ala.). Following introductory comments from Sen. Graham reiterating that amnesty is not being considered, Minority Whip Thune said Republicans are “dead serious” about ending the Biden Administration’s border crisis.

The comments echo those from Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), who after the vote stated: “It is profoundly unserious to pretend that national security priorities don’t include securing our nation’s borders… Right now, the crisis created by the Biden Administration’s neglect is bringing illegal aliens to the United States at a rate of 300,000 a month. That’s roughly the population of Lexington, Kentucky, arriving every month. And thanks to an asylum and parole system that desperately needs fixing, many of them are just brought straight in.” For his part, Schumer referred to last Wednesday as a “sad night,” continuing to say, “I hope that [Republicans] come up with something serious instead of the extreme policies they’ve presented thus far.”

The Senate vote came the same week that Customs and Border Protection (CBP) recorded more than 12,000 illegal aliens attempting to enter the country illegally in a single day – the largest number ever recorded. And, over the weekend, Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs sent a letter to the Biden Administration demanding more than half a billion dollars be reimbursed for “ongoing border operations resulting from the federal government’s failure to secure the Arizona border.” That development continues the trend of Democrat leaders calling out the Biden Administration on the issue, after Democrats in New York and Chicago also had criticism for the Administration in recent weeks.

Having demonstrated a united front last week, congressional Republicans have a real chance to deliver a win for the American people by standing firm. Three years into the Biden Border Crisis, this foreign aid package is perhaps the best opportunity to end the border surge by ensuring policy reforms are included to detain and remove illegal aliens, curb massive asylum fraud and halt the Administration’s rampant abuse of parole authority. Fortunately, a blueprint to do that already exists in the FAIR-supported H.R. 2, the Secure the Border Act, passed by the House of Representatives in May 2023. Throwing more money at the border crisis won’t solve it. We need real policy reforms and H.R. 2 is the solution.
