    The Dems often like to frame bills with titles like "Save The Puppies Act" so they can accuse Republicans of hating puppies when the vote divides along party lines, but Republicans weren't trying to frame anything here. 160 Democrats simply didn't like the idea of deporting foreign nationals with DUIs. The name of the bill is literally the "Protect Our Communities from DUIs Act." H.R. 875 is named after three victims of drunk driving. Jeremy and Angel Seay, Alabama newlyweds who were killed by a drunk illegal alien. Sergeant Brandon Mendoza was likewise killed in Mesa, Arizona, in 2014 by...
  • How Biden's Border Policies Burned America

    From catch and release, to ending DNA testing to prevent child trafficking, Joe Biden's immigration failures were epic. Independence Day is approaching! It's time to start planning our celebrations. We'll be cranking up the barbecue grills, waving our American flags and anticipating parades and fireworks. Critics argue that this reflected a deliberate policy shift away from deterrent-focused measures. The Biden administration suggested that the surge resulted from global migration trends, regional instability and inherited challenges, not deliberate policy choices. The facts tend to support the former. So who do we invite over to celebrate the day with us? We could...
  • Heightened alert: Iranians in U.S. previously charged with support for terrorism

    Prior to President Donald Trump authorizing targeted strikes against Iranian nuclear sites on Saturday, federal agents and Texas Department of Public Safety troopers have been arresting Iranian nationals, nearly all men, in the U.S. illegally. In the last few months, federal prosecutors have also brought terrorism charges against Iranians, including those in the U.S. working for the Iranian government. Iran is a designated state sponsor of terrorism. Iranian nationals illegally in the country are considered “special interest aliens” under federal law. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security on Sunday issued a warning to all Americans to be on a heightened...

    Over 1,500 Iranian nationals who illegally entered the U.S. at the southern border were arrested during the Biden administration, and nearly 50% of them were released back into the country, according to a senior U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) source. More specifically, Border Patrol agents arrested 1,504 Iranian nationals from fiscal year 2021 through fiscal year 2024. Of the 1,504 individuals who were arrested, 729 were released into the U.S. The number of Iranian nationals arrested at the southern border increased year-to-year, with 48 being arrested in FY21; 197 in FY22; 462 in FY23 and 797 in FY24. Likewise,...

    EL PASO, Texas – Border officers have intercepted yet another massive load of cash headed to Mexico. U.S. Customs and Border Protection personnel inspecting cars leaving the United States over the Anzalduas International Bridge in Hidalgo County, Texas, report seizing $815,475 in bulk, unreported cash “hidden within the vehicle” earlier this week. ... The vehicle was a 2025 Honda Odyssey SUV driven by a 44-year-old male U.S. citizen. Homeland Security Investigations agents are investigating the man, the source and the destination of the cash. “Our CBP officers’ continued vigilance led to this major currency seizure. These outbound interceptions are key...

    Border Patrol agents didn’t release a single migrant into the US last month — a staggering drop after the Biden administration allowed 62,000 illegal crossers in the country in May 2024, The Post can exclusively reveal. Agents caught 8,725 migrants crossing illegally at the southern border last month. That’s a 93% decrease from May 2024, when 117,905 were nabbed, according to internal data obtained by The Post.And acting Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Pete Flores said it’s a result of the Trump administration’s tough border policies.One of the most monumental policy changes made by Trump was the reversal of President...

    While ICE arrests and deportations have grabbed headlines, President Trump is also running a separate but complementary “mass deportation” program — one that encourages aliens here unlawfully to go home voluntarily. And if reports are correct, that plan is more successful than anyone could have imagined. Based on government data, my organization, the Center for Immigration Studies, has conservatively estimated there are about 15.4 million illegal aliens in the United States, a 50% increase over the four tumultuous years of the Biden administration. That’s no surprise, given how Biden and his Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas ignored congressional...

    White House deputy chief of staff for policy and homeland security advisor Stephen Miller has warned that the United States’ Alien Registration Act will now be enforced, and “illegals who fail to register with the government, as required by law, will be criminally prosecuted.” Under the Alien Registration Act, which had not been enforced for 75 years, all non-citizens are required to register with the government, submit their fingerprints, and provide the address where they are residing. Miller confirmed that the law will now be enforced in a post to X, responding to a Politico article titled, “Federal prosecutors now...

    WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump made no secret of his willingness to exert a maximalist approach to enforcing immigration laws and keeping order as he campaigned to return to the White House. The fulfillment of that pledge is now on full display in Los Angeles. The president has put hundreds of National Guard troops on the streets to quell protests over his administration’s immigration raids, a deployment that state and city officials say has only inflamed tensions. Trump called up the California National Guard over the objections of Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom — the first time in 60 years a...

    Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) criticized his own party for failing to “handle the border appropriately” and said that thousands of illegal aliens allowed in under the Biden administration was “unacceptable.” During a discussion with Sen. Dave McCormick (R-PA) at the Senate Project, which was co-hosted by the Edward M. Kennedy Institute and the Orrin G. Hatch Foundation, Fetterman cast support behind President Donald Trump’s One, Big, Beautiful Bill and the “roughly $150 billion” that would be go towards securing the United States southern border, focusing on illegal immigration, the Hill reported. “If I had to find something in that, the...

    The Washington Post has said that a massive drop in fentanyl seizures at the southern border is "mysterious" and that it is a "more complex" story than one would think after President Donald Trump has made it a point to crack down on border security as well as fentanyl trafficking into the US. The outlet suggested that the Trump administration's policies, such as threatening tariffs on China as well as Mexico to curb fentanyl, could have little to do with the drop in fentanyl, and claimed, "New data suggest a more complex story." This year, there has been a marked...

    America is safer this Memorial Day Weekend after San Diego Sector Border Patrol officials closed another of Joe Biden’s migrant processing centers. The closure follows the Trump administration’s success in shutting down migrant crossings in the Southern California sector. “Due to the unprecedented decrease in illegal crossings this year, the massive 1,000 person, San Diego Sector Soft Sided Facility has been dismantled,” a post by the San Diego Sector Acting Chief Patrol Agent Jeffrey Stalnaker. Chief Stalnaker reported that agents in this sector apprehended only 38 migrants per day in March 2025. This is a major drop from the 1,090...

    It’s a crime family affair. The ex-wife of jailed Mexican drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman and 16 other relatives strolled across the US southern border as part of a secret plea deal with the feds, according to reports. Griselda Lopez Perez, who was married to the notorious former Sinaloa drug cartel boss, her daughter and other kin entered the US at the Tijuana/San Diego crossing Friday — a move believed to be tied to the government’s case against El Chapo’s youngest son, Mexico News Daily reported. “It’s clear that with his family going to the United States, it’s connected...

    A U.S. judge in New Mexico on Thursday dismissed trespassing charges against dozens of migrants caught in a new military zone on the U.S.-Mexico border, marking a setback for Trump administration efforts to raise penalties for illegal crossings. Chief U.S. Magistrate Judge Gregory Wormuth began filing the dismissals late on Wednesday, ruling migrants did not know they were entering the New Mexico military zone and therefore could not be charged, according to court documents. Assistant Federal Public Defender Amanda Skinner said Wormuth dismissed the charges against all migrants who made initial court appearances on Thursday. The migrants still face charges...

    U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins took bold action to protect America’s food supply and ranching industry from an imminent biological threat. Effective immediately, all live cattle, horse, and bison imports through U.S. southern border ports of entry have been suspended in response to the reemergence of the New World Screwworm. The New World Screwworm (Cochliomyia hominivorax) is a parasitic fly whose larvae (maggots) are flesh-eating parasites that infest warm-blooded animals, including cattle, wildlife, pets, and humans. It is considered one of the most destructive parasites known to livestock. According to the CDC:

    On July 7, 1846, a contingent of Marines raised the American flag over Monterey, California, to mark a proclamation by U.S. consul Thomas Larkin that the territory was being annexed as a consequence of the war with Mexico. Much of the future state had already been taken from Mexico's nominal control by an uprising of American settlers under the Bear Flag. Victory in the Mexican War meant that the country gained Texas, California, and everything in between, comprising most of what is now New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, and Wyoming. Next to the War of Independence and the Civil...
