Arizona: Only 1 official ballot paper type was approved by Maricopa County for all 2020 counted ballots, yet 10 types were discovered by voter-volunteers amounting to over 200,000 ‘non-conforming’ (counterfeit) ballots that were counted in a race Joe Biden ‘won’ by far far less

As South Carolina law enforcement investigates allegations a state agency is handing out voter registration forms to foreign nationals, an agency official tells The Federalist that federal law has tied the state’s hands. Jeff Leieritz, a spokesman for the state’s Department of Health and Human Services, says the department, as the state’s Medicaid agency, is mandated to provide voter registration information under Section 7 of the National Voter Registration Act Of 1993. The information apparently goes out to everyone applying for the benefits, including foreign nationals. Section 7 requires each state to designate voter registration agencies, including all state offices...

José Raúl Mulino, a last-minute conservative candidate in Panama’s 2024 presidential race, was elected in Sunday’s general election with a nearly ten percent lead over his closest rival. Mulino, a 64-year-old lawyer and former minister of security in the country, campaigned on implementing a crackdown on migration by “closing” the dangerous Darien Gap jungle trail that Panama shares with Colombia, which thousands of migrants from South America and other regions use to reach the United States. Mulino has also vowed to improve Panama’s economy.

Florida passed a law requiring hospitals to publicize the costs of unpaid care for migrants, and the reports thus far show that the loss to the state’s hospitals is a massive $566 million just in 2024 — and taxpayers are picking up much of that loss.

Why does the Biden administration want open borders? As a researcher and writer on immigration, that’s the question I often get asked.Here are the three reasons I think are behind President Joe Biden’s deliberate border chaos:electoral politics, extortion, and, most insidiously, ideology.I’ll start with ideology and come back to the other two reasons in my next columns.The most dangerous driver behind Biden’s open borders is ideological. Policy differences can be negotiated, but as we’re seeing on college campuses, people fanatically committed to an idea can prove intransigent, regardless of the facts.When you see the word “abolition” used in connection with...

A chic hotel in the heart of Broadway has been quietly operating as a migrant shelter — the latest sign of the growing Big Apple crisis.

Seventy years ago in 1954, immigration authorities created a mass deportation program in the face of out-of-control intrusions at our southern border. Then, like now, the gravity of the problem called for a dramatic policy response. Unlike now, the federal government rapidly responded, creating a system of roaming “deportation parties” concentrated on border-area factories and farms, netting tens of thousands of illegals in its first few days. The model, which would establish Border Patrol and ICE as we know them today, would later be dubbed, “Operation Wetback.” Intensely reviled by the globalist Left even to this day, the program is...

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has issued a stern warning to the state of Iowa: halt the enforcement of a controversial new immigration law, or face a federal lawsuit. This legal showdown is poised over Iowa’s recent enactment of Senate File 2340, which criminalizes “illegal reentry” into the state by undocumented immigrants—a move the DOJ deems a violation of the Constitution. … Governor Reynolds has defended the law, Iowa needed the law because of the Biden administration’s poor record on immigration. “The only reason we had to pass this law is because the Biden administration refuses to enforce the...

Arizona rancher George Kelly, 75, sat down for an exclusive interview with NewsNation’s Ali Bradley after state prosecutors decided not to retry his murder case. George Kelly told Ali Bradley he and his wife lost their life savings fighting the lawfare murder trial. “I don’t feel that I was treated fairly in the investigation,” George Kelly told NewsNation in an interview. “I think I was arrested without cause, without probable cause.” “You can’t put somebody in a situation and try to tell them, ‘oh you’ll be fine here.’ No you won’t be fine here…” George Kelly told Ali Bradley. He...

The Biden administration published a new rule Friday that will allow tens of thousands of illegal immigrants to receive health care through ObamaCare. The new rule, according to a White House statement, removes a prohibition on illegal immigrants protected from deportation under the 2012 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program from accessing healthcare through the Affordable Care Act.

If arrested and convicted under the new law, a judge can have the individual deported back to their home country. But if the person is not deported, they could be sentenced to two years in prison if its classified as a misdemeanor, or up to 10 years if its a felony and they have been arrested before. The Justice Department warned Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds, a Republican, on Thursday that it would sue the state if it enforces an immigration law that bans migrants from being in the state if they have an outstanding deportation order, or if they were...

Migrants — not voting Americans and their children — “are what makes us [economically] strong,” President Joe Biden told a May 1 fundraiser for pro-migration groups at the elite Mayflower Hotel in Washington D.C. Biden’s statement spotlights his policy of inflating the national economy with Extraction Migration — not by raising U.S. exports to developing countries or by growing Americans’ all-important productivity with more investment in workplace automation and innovation.

The April pronouncements of Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell at Stanford University have sparked a crucial discourse about the ramifications of mass immigration on the American economy. Powell's observations emphasized the significant role of immigrants, particularly within lower-paying sectors of the labor market, prompting economists to hastily reconsider their projections. The forecasts presented by the Congressional Budget Office (C.B.O.) paint a stark panorama: an astounding 3.3 million individuals entered the United States in 2023 alone, with similar figures anticipated for 2024. While some champion these statistics as heralds of economic expansion, the underlying reality is bleak. The majority of this...
