Hello and Stune my beeber. I had a thought the other day and you guys have probably already figured this out. Think back to when Trump was in office. He had charged foreword with the border wall but he still needed about six billion to finish it. The problem was that the money (actually 5.7 billion) had to be authorized by congress. The dems, mainly Chuck Schumer, said no way. Their excuse and what they told the American people was that they were "protecting" the American people because America could not afford 5.7 billion dollars to finish the wall. If...

How the Left spawns femicidal terror. The United Nations calls it “femicide,” the wanton assault, rape and murder of girls and women. It’s a cultural epidemic in Latin America.Femicide is visible every step of the way from South America and the Northern Triangle countries to the Mexico-U.S. border. Rape trees, where women’s panties hang from branches, and rape tents, where girls and women are dragged by smugglers, dot the route. Do you think the rapes stop when illegals cross into the U.S.? No.Now women are being victimized by migrants bringing femicide to your neighborhood. Where are the women’s rights groups?...

Harris County’s Democratic district attorney slammed the “broken system” that allowed the two illegal immigrants accused of brutally murdering 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray loose in the US with only ankle monitors to keep track of them. “They should have never been released when they crossed over into El Paso, but we have a broken system and Jocelyn’s death resulted. And it’s just hard when you know something could have been prevented like a child’s death,” Kim Ogg told local channel KPRC on Thursday. She said the ankle monitors have proved completely ineffective. Both Johan Jose Martinez-Rangel, 21, and Franklin Jose Peña...

The Congressional Budget Office has underestimated Medicaid spending by billions of dollars every year for some time now and a new law that reduced illegal immigration in Florida may explain why. Since 2000, the CBO has underestimated an average of $15 billion a year of Medicaid spending, while often overestimating Social Security and Medicare spending. The latest CBO budget outlook bumped up Medicaid spending estimates yet again, this time by another $50 billion over the next 10 years. But judging by its recent performance, the new projections will still be too low. Something in the Medicaid program is adding tens...

Joe Biden is very clearly in the running to be the worst U.S. president ever. To understand why that’s true, you need only look at the Democrat’s refusal to protect the integrity of our borders. It’s almost as if he wants America to disappear. As we’ve noted here before, we do not oppose immigration. But, as with everything else, immigration is governed by laws, rules and principles. Unfortunately, when it comes to immigration, Biden simply ignores the law and instead uses presidential command in its place. The result: chaos on our border and, increasingly, on our streets as city after...

Too little, too late, Joe. Democrats opened the floodgates to millions of illegal aliens and flooded our communities with crime, poverty, and violence… and it’s getting worse. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Joe Biden pretended for three-and-a-half years that he was powerless to stop the flood of illegal aliens he helped cross the southern border—including hardened criminals, human traffickers, and known terrorists. Now, facing annihilation at the polls this November, he’s suddenly playing at “tough-on-immigration”—and hoping voters don’t see through the lie. Here’s the truth: Biden’s executive order is too meaningless and too late to stop the crisis his open border policies caused. And...

The full scale of the horror at the Southern Border can be revealed as DailyMail.com discovered bones piled up and migrant bodies that are too hot to touch. Asylum seekers are being funneled through a remote part of the desert- just outside of El Paso, Texas, where New Mexico, Texas and Mexico all meet. With 82 deaths in the region so far this fiscal year, the US Border Patrol in El Paso Sector believes it's on track to see the deadliest year for the zone that includes West Texas and all of southern New Mexico. By comparison, at this time...

I've been informed by the few liberals utopian socialists who still deign to speak to me that there is no secret confederacy of left-wing pedophiles ravaging hordes of children and that this was just a conspiracy theory whipped by tobaccy-chawin', trailer-dwellin' whackjobs. So I thought I'd pour some bourbon over an ice cube the size of the Death Star, gather some clues, and see what we can learn. Pedophile Flashback: Remember when a trans dudette calling himself Stacie Marie Laughton, a former New Hampshire state rep., was busted for child pornography? CLUES #1-85,000: Biden Administration 'Loses' 85,000 Unaccompanied Minor Children...

American communities suffer the downfall of Joe Biden’s reckless border policies. Since Biden took office nearly four years ago, the United States has not looked the same. Not only has inflation caused businesses to go out of business and resources to suffer, but innocent lives have been cut short due to illegal immigrants being allowed to cross the southern border and wreak havoc on our nation. In the current fiscal year alone, over 13.7 thousand illegal immigrants with criminal convictions have been arrested by law enforcement in the U.S., with more than 360 of them being affiliated with dangerous gangs....

The number of arrests by Border Patrol agents of people illegally crossing into the United States fell in May to the third lowest of any month during the Biden presidency, while preliminary figures released Thursday show encounters with migrants falling even more in the roughly two weeks since the president announced new rules restricting asylum. The figures are likely welcome news for a White House that has been struggling to show to voters concerned over immigration that it has control of the southern border. But the number of people coming to the border is often in flux, dependent on conditions...

"[FBI Director Christopher] Wray has repeatedly drawn attention to security gaps at the United States’ southern border, where thousands of people each week enter the country undetected," Morell and Graham noted. Like Tenet telling Congres in the lead-up to 9/11 about our vulnerabilities, Wray has been sounding the alarm about the wide-open Southern border for years."Last year, hundreds of individuals on the United States’ terrorist watch list attempted to enter the country via the southern border," Morell wrote. "It is not difficult to imagine a person, or even a group, with the intent to do harm slipping across a border—where...

Joe Biden is playing voters for suckers. He thinks he can snap up their votes with some sleight-of-hand new policy on the southern border. This all comes cynically as the border is emerging as a major issue in the campaign for president; only 28 percent of voters approve of Biden’s handling of the matter so far, and voters overall mark it as their second biggest concern, after the economy. But why fix anything when you can just fake the rubes out? Biden took executive action earlier this month to turn away asylum seekers who cross the southern border illegally when...

On Tuesday, the Biden administration plans to announce an executive action protecting undocumented spouses of American citizens that would shield about 500,000 immigrants from deportation, according to four sources familiar with the matter. “This is the biggest thing since DACA,” said one of the sources, an immigration advocate, adding that it was a smart political move by the Biden administration. The program, known as “parole in place,” would also make it easier for some undocumented immigrants to get a green card and a path to U.S. citizenship. The sources also say that the undocumented spouses would be allowed to obtain...

Hundreds of thousands of immigrants in the U.S. will count their blessings on Saturday as they mark a new anniversary of a program that has let them stay in the country, study and work and build lives. Millions more who arrived here as children and don't qualify for it are wishing they'd been so lucky. The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, program began 12 years ago Saturday. While its beneficiaries hope to have had a permanent legal status in the U.S. by now, they also are celebrating the educations, better paying jobs, families and homes they've been able...

VIDEOAs a result of Joe Biden's very noticeable physical and mental decline, there is suddenly a lot of talk about the Democrats switching out Sleepy Joe and replacing him with California Governor Gavin Newsom on their presidential ticket. That explains why, after years of ignoring the problem affecting his state, Newsom is suddenly PRETENDING to be concerned about the border crises. The ironic thing is that in order to switch out Biden for Newsom, Democrats will have to kick their "Border Czar," Kamala Harris, to the curb which will be very difficult to do since that party has embraced the...

If there's any doubt that open borders are a terrorist's bonanza, the evidence is starting to materialize. According to the New York Post: Six Russian nationals suspected to have terror ties to ISIS have been arrested in a coordinated sting operation spanning Los Angeles, New York and Philadelphia, The Post can exclusively reveal. Two ICE sources confirmed to The Post they arrested the six people, who hail from Tajikistan, over the last week after the FBI contacted the agency to warn it. Two others who were part of the same group were also arrested after being under surveillance for “several...

Holy smokes a border patrol agent told CNN he’ll lose his job if he doesn’t allow illegals to cross the border, says he used to have pride in his job, but doesn’t anymore This is infuriating

U.S. law enforcement and immigration officials have launched more than 100 investigations of crimes tied to suspected members of a violent Venezuelan gang, including sex trafficking in Louisiana and the point-blank shooting of two New York City police officers, according to two Department of Homeland Security officials. The cases involving the Tren de Aragua gang show how hard it is for U.S. border agents to vet the criminal backgrounds of migrants from countries like Venezuela that won’t give the U.S. any help. More than 330,000 Venezuelans crossed the U.S. border last year, according to Customs and Border Protection data, and...

Six Russian nationals with potential ties to ISIS have been arrested in New York, Philadelphia and Los Angeles in a coordinated sting by law enforcement. Two ICE officials have told the New York Post they arrested the suspected terrorist affiliates last week after the FBI raised the alarm. The suspects are originally from Tajikistan, and they also have Russian citizenship, according to the Post. Anonymous ICE officials told the newspaper a wiretap revealed one of the suspects talking about bombs. 'Remember the Boston marathon [bombing]? I'm afraid something like that might happen again or worse,' one official told The Post....
