President Joe Biden (D) and his administration have written almost 300 executive orders to open the nation’s border during his and Vice President Kamala Harris’s (D) first year in the White House, Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) claimed on Monday. In his social media post, Kennedy sought to remind voters about actions taken by the Biden administration when it came to disastrous border policies that are hurting citizens. “Reminder: The Biden-Harris White House wrote nearly 300 executive orders to open our border in just their FIRST YEAR in office,” he wrote: John Kennedy @SenJohnKennedy · Follow Reminder: The Biden-Harris White House...

As Kamala Harris pivots to the political center in her campaign for president, a 2019 questionnaire from a leading civil rights organization spotlights her past support for left-wing causes such as taxpayer-funded gender transition surgeries for detained immigrants and federal prisoners. In an American Civil Liberties Union questionnaire then-Sen. Harris filled out as a candidate for president in 2020, she also expressed support for decriminalizing federal drug possession for personal use, and for sweeping reductions to Immigration and Custom Enforcement operations, including drastic cuts in ICE funding and an open-ended pledge to “end” immigration detention. The Harris campaign did not...

The Biden-Harris parole program that allows as many as 360,000 illegal aliens a year from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela (CHNV) to enter the United States is not only illegal, but is fraud-ridden. The fraud is so massive that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) quietly paused the program in the hope they could get it fixed before the American public learned about the extent of the problems.

Thousands of illegal residents were arrested in a large-scale operation by the Border Guard. • Last weekend, in the Otef sector of Jerusalem, Border Police fighters arrested 21 illegal residents who infiltrated from the direction of Beit Jala into the Gila neighborhood. Illegal residents at a construction site. Putting an end to the phenomenon: Border Guard fighters last weekend arrested about 570 illegal residents and 50 suspects who helped them. So far, since the beginning of the operation, about 19,400 illegal residents and 2,300 helpers have been arrested. As part of a large-scale operation under the command of the commander...

Texas GOP Rep. Chip Roy released a white paper breaking down the scale of the ongoing border crisis taking place under the Biden-Harris administration. Millions of illegal migrants have been released into the interior United States since President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris entered the White House, a record number of suspected terrorists have reached the border and hundreds of Americans have died on average from fentanyl poisoning every day, according to a report compiled by Roy’s staff and exclusively obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation. The Republican lawmaker is calling on Congress to take more permanent...

The media have always engaged in mass lying about immigration, but they're really going the extra mile this election cycle. Lie No. 1 is the toughness of the "bipartisan" border bill, covered in last week's column. (Quotes on "bipartisan" because not a single congressional Republican supports it, even the guy who co-sponsored it.) Immigration Lie No. 2 is even more comically, straw-graspingly wrong: The Biden-Harris administration is deporting MORE illegals than Trump! It's been reported everywhere. I'll include bylines so you know whose reporting never to trust: -- Reuters by Ben Kellerman, Mica Rosenberg and Ted Hesson: "Biden is now...

"Agents say it’s a major tool when it comes to tracking so-called “gotaways,” people who are trying to evade detection after crossing the border between ports of entry. "Just two years ago, DHS tethered one blimp in Nogales, Arizona, where the majority of fentanyl has been seized. Rep. Juan Ciscomani, R-Ariz., pushed back on the decision to remove what he called “critical security technology” from the U.S. border. “Now we’re blind, not knowing what’s coming in. It’s a lot of help for us to have info,” he said. “Not just [on] immigrants that come looking for work, that come through...

On Tuesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Harris-Walz Campaign Co-Chair Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) responded to a question on whether the Harris campaign is addressing the economy and immigration enough by stating that “abortion is about the economy, too,” because “The most important, profound decision a person or a family or a woman will make is whether and when to bear a child.” She also wondered, “How can women get in the workforce if they can’t even make their own decisions about whether and when to bear a child or access the health care that they need?” And stated...

The Biden-Harris administration said Tuesday that it opposed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s plan to hold onto the Gaza-Egypt border — known as the Philadelphi Corridor — to ensure weapons cannot be smuggled into Gaza. State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said in a briefing with reporters on Tuesday that the U.S. opposed any long-term Israeli presence in Gaza. He also said that Israel had agreed to a U.S. “bridging” proposal last month that would have required the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) to withdraw from “densely populated areas,” which Miller said “includes the Philadelphi Corridor.”

(NewsNation) — The Department of Homeland Security is shutting down a program that used surveillance blimps at the border amid objections from lawmakers and border agents. The agency announced it was decreasing the number of blimps from 12 to four last year and promised the program would be a thing of the past by the end of fiscal year 2023. Nearly a year later, the tactical Aerostat surveillance program is finally shutting down as funding has dried up. More than two dozen people are out of a job thanks to the program’s end, according to DHS sources. The program used...

We all recall when the Democrats tried to drag former President Trump for suggesting a wall for the Southern border. He asked for $25 billion to build the wall and we are spending quadruple that amount on providing for migrants. The wall, the “Trump wall,” was considered “racist” and “Un-American” by VP Kamala Harris and a “medieval vanity project.” Now, Harris believes the time is right to fund the Trump wall. Over eight to ten million people entered the United States under Biden-Harris, with Harris appointed as the point person to solve the problem. They have done absolutely everything imaginable...

Kamala has flip-flopped yet again. This time, the pathetic, failed border czar—who’s watched as the country is overrun by illegals—now claims she wants to build a border wall. And if you believe that, we’ve got “81 million” legal mail-in ballots to sell you. This story is the kind of political fairytale designed to fool those who think Kamala is “too radical.” But the reality is, she is too radical, and despite her latest claims, she’ll never build a border wall—and everyone knows it. Yet that doesn’t stop our pathetic media from trying to paint Kamala as a “moderate” who’s in...

For as far as the eye can see there is nothing but brown border fence, red dirt, low-lying desert shrubs and the occasional sweatshirt, water bottle or children's toy. The trash is new and fresh footprints can be seen in the dust - people were just here. This stretch of the Arizona border near a small hamlet called Sasabe is part of the Tucson Sector of Border Patrol's map of operations, and it's one of the busiest areas in the country for crossers not wanting to be caught. Arizona cattle rancher John Ladd told DailyMail.com the situation at the border...

First it was pretending she’s not the border czar. Then it was downplaying her running mate’s stolen valor controversy. Now, regime-approved media want you to believe that Vice President Kamala Harris wants to finish wall construction along the U.S.-Mexico border.On Tuesday, Democrats’ favorite propaganda outlet Axios published an article in which authors Alex Thompson and Hans Nichols claimed that Harris “pledges to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on the wall along the southern border” if elected this November. The two “reporters” asserted it’s “the latest example of Harris flip-flopping on her past liberal positions” since becoming Democrats’ 2024 presidential...

Axois is claiming that Vice President Kamala Harris supports former President Donald Trump’s border wall because she backs the Senate’s border bill that requires agency officials to spend border wall funds appropriated under Trump. An Axios headline makes the claim, “Harris flip-flops on building the border wall” even though the article includes no quotes or statements from Harris or her campaign. Her campaign pushed back, telling Axios: Harris advisers note that the bipartisan border proposal didn’t include any new money to continue building the wall. It just extended the timeline to spend funds that had been appropriated during Trump’s last...

On Monday’s broadcast of CNN’s “OutFront,” Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker (D) stated that 2024 Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris doesn’t have to visit the border “to know there is a problem at the border that needs to be addressed in general” and “the important thing is that she ought to be addressing the issues at the border, which, by the way, she and President Biden have been, and we’ve seen the effect of that in Chicago.” Pritzker said, “Well, the important thing is that she ought to be addressing the issues at the border, which, by the way,...

As of August 19, 2024, five amicus briefs in favor of the defendant have been filed in the seminal interstate carry case of Commonwealth v Donnel. Arguments will be heard before the Massachusetts Supreme Court on September 9, 2024.On June 19, 2024, this correspondent noted only one amicus (friend of the court) brief had been filed in favor of the defendant, Dean F. Donnell, Jr. Donnell, a New Hampshire resident, was arrested in Massachusetts for carrying a firearm without a Massachusetts license. The district court’s opinion found the law requiring a license for law-abiding people from other states who could...

Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that the United States has a “crisis at the border” that needed to be addressed by immigration reform. Host Jonathan Karl said, “On immigration, when Harris ran for the Democratic nomination against you and others in 2020, she said she favored decriminalizing illegal border crossing. She even suggested she would be in favor of abolishing ICE. Now, of course, she’s taking, at least rhetorically, a much tougher line on border security.”

An Arizona man has been detained after he allegedly made several social media threats to kill former president Donald Trump. Ronald Syvrud, 66, made the threats over the last few weeks, a spokesperson for Cochise County told CNN. The spokesperson didn’t say which platform Syvrud used to make the threats. The Benson resident has several outstanding warrants, including DUI charges, felony hit and run, as well as failing to register as a sex offender, the Cochise County Sheriff’s Office wrote on Facebook. The Sheriff’s office added on the social media platform as a “public safety consideration” that “Syvrud is being...
