At a campaign stop in Michigan, former President Bill Clinton explained why voters should back the Harris Walz ticket. "I know many think they should vote for Trump because he was better for the economy," he observed. "But that doesn't mean he would be better for the country." "Consider the issue of immigration," Clinton suggested. "Trump tries to portray the Democrats' support for open borders as a negative. Sure, there have been a few murders that wouldn't have happened if so many unvetted folks hadn't been allowed in. This negative is small and of short duration. The positives are large...

Nürtingen, Germany – A chilling discovery along the Neckar River has intensified the debate over Germany’s open borders and the dangers citizens face under these policies. A 37-year-old Iranian asylum seeker, who reportedly knew the victim personally, was arrested on suspicion of brutally murdering a 66-year-old German teacher, Isabelle D. The crime, which has left the community shaken, is fueling criticism of Germany’s lenient immigration system, which critics argue allows dangerous individuals to enter and remain unchecked. ... The body of Isabelle D., a dedicated and well-known German language teacher, was found early Sunday morning beneath a viewing platform along...

On Tuesday, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas released figures for September showing that Biden and Harris’s parole pipeline is continuing to release tens of thousands of migrants into the U.S. interior via the southern border and commercial flights every month. From January 2023 through September 2024, almost 1.4 million migrants were released into American communities through the “CBP One” migrant mobile app at the border and the CHNV program, which allows migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela to fly to the U.S. The number of migrants welcomed to the U.S. through Biden and Harris’s parole pipeline...

Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA) believes the solution to the border crisis is to open the floodgates by passing the Senate’s pro-migration border bill, he said in a Tuesday night debate with Republican Dave McCormick. Casey and McCormick spent several minutes of the heated debate sparring over immigration and border security, with Casey — and one of the moderators — spending time deriding Republicans for alleged anti-immigrant rhetoric instead of discussing policies. McCormick’s numbers surged throughout the summer, and the race is now deadlocked with McCormick trending as early voting has begun in the commonwealth. Casey touted the failed Senate bill,...

Politically incorrect words don’t kill, but Venezuelan gangs do. Donald Trump this week warned rally-goers in a small Wisconsin community that “if Kamala is reelected, your town and every town . . . will be transformed into a third-world hellhole.” He’s repeatedly said that Biden-Harris open borders are turning New York into a “third world nation” and America into a “third world disaster” — and the rhetoric makes left-wing elites apoplectic. Never mind the violence perpetrated by migrant gangs and the societal disorder caused by open borders: Their problem is with the words. NPR says the term “third world” is...

Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance promised a compassionate US border approach should he be elected in November with former President Trump at the top of the ticket. “The Trump-Vance approach to the border is the way to maximize compassion, not just for our citizens, but for everybody,” the Ohio senator, 40, told a Christian forum outside Pittsburgh Saturday. “Border policy is compassionate, and I think that Republicans have to remind people that.” Vance faced questions from the audience about what the Christian approach to the migrant crisis should be — and leaned into the issue of protecting children. “Right...

The former Chief Patrol Agent (CPA) for the San Diego Sector, and prior to that, the CPA for the Grand Forks Sector, responsible for border security operations along 861 miles of the U.S and Canadian border, issued explosive evidence against the Biden-Harris administration on Tuesday, saying he was warned not to release any information on the increase in illegal immigrants with ties to terrorism crossing the border illegally. “The only true consequence we have to slow down and discourage people from coming into the United States illegally is sending them back to their country of origin,” Former CPA Aaron Heitke...

Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orbán offered a simple solution to the illegal immigration crisis at a European summit on Thursday, arguing governments should simply stop letting illegal immigrants in. Orbán’s remarks came at the European Political Community summit at Blenheim Palace, the birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill. Reporters asked him, “What more can Europe do to tackle migration?” In response, the Hungarian leader said plainly: “Don’t let them in.”Along with his newfound role trying to broker peace between Russia and Ukraine, Orbán is known as one of the staunchest opponents of mass migration in Europe.In June, he commented that Germany...

The Biden administration is flying previously deported Cameroonians whose asylum claims were determined to be invalid back into the United States, according to interviews with Immigration and Customs Enforcement staff and internal agency memos reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon. The program, which has not been announced to the public, appears to be a response to a February 2022 Human Rights Watch report about dozens of Cameroonians deported between 2019 and 2021 and then allegedly mistreated by their government. An estimated 80 to 90 Cameroonians were deported during that period of time. But now some are arriving back in the...

Illegal migrants who are caught and bussed out of the country can use the “CBP One” cellphone app to get government permission to re-enter the United States, border czar Alejandro Mayorkas declared on June 26. “If an [caught] individual has agreed to and been returned voluntarily [to Mexico], are they eligible for a CBP One appointment? They are,” he told a reporter at his tightly managed Tucson press conference on June 26. “They don’t want to actually bar people from coming into the country,” responded Mark Krikorian, director of the Center for Immigration Studies. “They just want the [illegal migrants]...

Former president Donald Trump, speaking this weekend at the gathering of the Faith & Freedom Coalition, returned several times to the subject of the U.S.-Mexico border. Trump described migrants crossing it as “tough” and said that he told his friend Dana White, the president of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, to enlist them in a new version of the sport. “Why don’t you set up a migrant league and have your regular league of fighters. And then you have the champion of your league, these are the greatest fighters in the world, fighting the champion of the migrants,’” Trump described saying...

Police in Houston have arrested two migrants [illegals]from Venezuela for the murder of 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray, who was lured away from home and then strangled and dumped in a bayou. One of the suspects crossed the border illegally less than a month before the shocking murder and was released into the US after claiming he was afraid for his life if he was sent back to his home country, sources told The Post. Johan Jose Rangel Martinez, 21, and Franklin Jose Pena Ramos, 26, were charged Thursday with capital murder. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) sources said Pena Ramos crossed...

Victor Martinez-Hernandez, 23, was tracked down in Tulsa, Oklahoma Friday, after police matched his DNA to the gruesome crime scene, Harford County Sherriff Jeffrey Gahler told reporters Saturday. “Rachel’s murderer is no longer a free man and, hopefully, he will never have the opportunity to walk free again,” Gahler said. According to police, Martinez-Hernandez has connections to Salvadoran street gangs and had a violent history that included at least one other homicide....

Many illegal migrants will voluntarily flee to Canada if President Donald Trump is re-elected, a Democrat-appointed ambassador told an elite Canadian audience in Ottowa. “These people aren’t just going to sit there and wait to be rounded up,” former U.S. ambassador to Canada Bruce Heyman told a national security conference on June 3, according to Canada’s National Post. Heyman is a former top executive at the Goldman Sachs investment firm and a fundraiser for Democrats. He was appointed to the ambassador job by President Barack Obama. “What would a second Donald Trump presidency mean for Canada?” columnist Tasha Kheiriddin wrote:...

Like empires before us, we have lost our cultural confidence and moorings, increasing the risk of being overrun by newcomers.No subject is as central to America’s future and no subject gets to the heart of the failure of our current regime more than immigration policy. As a result, few subjects are as riddled with taboos in their public discussion. What will happen when the ethnic composition of large parts of America is transformed in ways America’s European founders never could have foreseen? And in the interim, what will happen to whites as they continue to lose political power amid their...

Under President Joe Biden, the number of Chinese nationals crossing the nation’s borders has increased by more than 37,000 percent in just three years, new Department of Homeland Security (DHS) data reveals. In the last six months, which represents the first half of Fiscal Year 2024, nearly 25,000 Chinese nationals crossed United States borders and were encountered by Border Patrol agents. During the same period in Fiscal Year 2021, just 65 Chinese nationals were encountered by Border Patrol while crossing U.S. borders. By the first half of Fiscal Year 2022, Chinese crossings had increased to 432 in the same period.

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas says it is “preposterous” to suggest that President Joe Biden is importing millions of migrants to the United States to inflate political power in favor of Democrats. During a Senate budget hearing on Wednesday, Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) asked Mayorkas if it is a fact “that the number of illegal immigrants that you and the president allow into our country counts for congressional district reapportionment?” Mayorkas initially responded, saying “I’m not sure I understand your question but I can surely share with you that I disagree with its phrasing.” Kennedy asked again,...
