Democrats don’t care about public safety. They only care about securing more Electoral College votes and amassing power.At noon on Jan. 20, 2021, President Biden took the oath of office. What do you think he did in his first 12 hours? He signed an executive order titled “Executive Order on Ensuring a Lawful and Accurate Enumeration and Apportionment Pursuant to the Decennial Census.” That is government speak for directing the Census Bureau to count all illegal aliens when the census is taken.Every 10 years, when the census is conducted, the population numbers are used to redraw congressional district lines so...

Donald Trump has released a new ad focusing on Laken Reilly's murder and the border crisis--and it's making an impact.

The Washington Post continues to outdo itself in generating downright idiotic takes to defend President Joe Biden’s trashy economic record, even if it means whitewashing the worsening border crisis. “The economy is roaring. Immigration is a key reason,” celebrated The Post in a nutty Feb. 27 headline. The leftist rag doubled down by claiming that “[i]mmigration has propelled the U.S. job market further than just about anyone expected, helping cement the country’s economic rebound from the pandemic as the most robust in the world.” Of course, the paper glossed over the fact that “all” the job gains in the fourth...

With the last recent events at the US border and the approach of the authorities’ response (not the ones of the States being affected, but the highest ones), anyone with some degree of common sense would start to ask questions.How are migrants from Venezuela getting from their country to the US border? Are they walking? if so, how long does it take and how are they equipped for it? If not, how are they getting there? Are they criminals? Are they crossing other borders legally? Is someone funding this?As a Venezuelan, I hope to answer some of these questions for...

It's not like the people paying millions of illegal aliens to come to the U.S. for some social experiment don't know that what they're doing is national suicide; it's that they don't care that it's national suicide. That's a feature, not a bug. They don't like the colonial power that the U.S. was way back when, and this is the payback. They know only what their woke teachers cribbed from Howard Zinn, and now they're "making a difference!" by ruining their own country because it deserves to be a Third World hell-hole. You can't have complete strangers from entirely different...

The number of Chinese nationals entering the United States illegally has surged in recent times, with the latest data from the San Diego sector showing a staggering 500 percent surge so far this year compared to the same period a year ago.As the nation remains gripped by an illegal immigration crisis of historic proportions, there’s been an exceptionally high increase in the number of Chinese nationals—especially military-aged men—who have unlawfully crossed the U.S.-Mexico border.Some border patrol officials and others have warned this poses a national security risk because, among those simply seeking a better life, there may be those with...

It’s going to be difficult to get tens of millions of illegals out of the country. If there were some fear of that happening, the Democratic Party would rise up and steal as much of the American taxpayers’ money as necessary to protect this future constituency of theirs. Corporations that want cheap labor would press politicians with threats of reduced campaign money, and everybody knows politicians love other people’s money more than they love anything else. The illegals themselves would disappear under rocks, into holes in the ground, and into every cavity and crevice they could find to escape deportation....

It’s clear that America’s open border is an unmitigated disaster, allowing over 300,000 known migrants to enter the U.S. each month. Migrants are arriving from all over the world, including from geopolitical adversaries like China and Afghanistan.Few are vetted, meaning their health, criminal, education, vocations, literacy, and motivations are unknown. Anyone can ask for political asylum, as they are coached to do. To federal border agents, they are a massive herd of cattle, and it’s all they can do just to get them across the border, feed and hydrate them, and put them on plane to Denver, New York, or...

Democrats are all about throwing scraps to their political base. They throw 'abortion' to women voters as if they were all one bloc with solely this concern, and 'amnesty' or open borders to Latinos, as if they were all a single bloc, too. At election time, they come out with their offerings and tick their group boxes -- women, Latinos, what have you. Once they've done that, they dust their hands off, and then go back to lining their cronies' pockets. For Democrats, it's that simple. But what happens if they ... make a mistake? Instead of throwing alfafa at...

The finer details behind Donald Trump's plan to deport millions of illegal immigrants are starting to emerge.In a report published Sunday evening, Axios outlined how Trump plans to use the power of the state to forcibly deport millions of people with no legal right to be in the United States.The outlet noted:Donald Trump's plan to crack down on immigration includes using a range of tools to deport millions of people in the U.S. each year — from obscure laws to military funds to law enforcement officers from all levels of government.History tells us such an effort would dramatically disrupt local...

Imagine for a moment what the past few years would have been like if the nation’s socialist “Democratic” party and its media propaganda arm had absolutely no limitations on their power. What would it be like if we just had one-party rule and the GOP was only an afterthought? The problem is that you won’t have to imagine anything if President Trump and the pro-freedom right don’t prevail in November, and even then, it might just be a short respite from the Democrat party’s deliberate destruction of the country as founded. As much as most people would like to deny...

Joe Biden has called out the cavalry to ride to the rescue of illegal aliens breaking into the country. You read that right. Joe Biden is listening to his far-left base and has nationalized a National Guard contingent to "support the federal government’s U.S.-Mexico border control efforts," which is to say Biden's opening up of the Southern Border to the illegal invasion. The left has been urging President Biden to federalize National Guard troops to reopen Texas's border where illegal immigrants have been overrunning the state. It appears Biden has begun the process of doing that by ordering the Alaska...

The House of Representatives failed to impeach Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Tuesday due to absences and defections. There were some doubts about whether Republicans would have the votes to impeach Mayorkas. They could only afford to lose three votes, and Reps. Ken Buck (R-Colo.) and Tom McClintock (R-Calif.) had previously indicated that they intended to vote against impeachment. House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) was absent because he is undergoing cancer treatment. The House vote was 214-216. Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-Wisc.) joined Buck and McClintock in voting with Democrats against the resolution. House GOP Majority Whip...

My colleague Bonchie wrote on some of the problems in the Senate border bill earlier. As more comes out, it's even worse than people thought. People have been talking about the emergency provisions kicking in to shut down the border at 5,000 illegal aliens on average over seven consecutive days or 8,500 in one day. You have the discretion to activate it at an average of 4,000 a day over seven consecutive days, but you have to activate it at 5,000. And yes, that's ridiculous because you should just be applying the provision to enforce the law from the first...

The Senate’s emergency appropriations bill released on Sunday won’t address the border crisis, and contrary to the accomplice media’s spin, the spending bill won’t “severely curtail asylum at the US southern border.” The bill could have had the Senate reclaim the reins of lawmaking from the executive and judicial branches and clarify that widespread criminality in another country is not a basis for asylum in America. Instead, the 370-page bill, the “Emergency National Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2024,” includes funding for both Israel and Ukraine, plus decidedly insufficient provisions for addressing aliens and immigration.The backers of the Senate bill seek...

New stats are showing something that's going to make Joe Biden look very bad. Suddenly, illegal crossings at the southern border are now increasingly happening in Arizona and California, moving away from Texas ... Sources with U.S. Customs and Border Protection told Fox News that over the last week of January, Border Patrol apprehended 32,809 illegal immigrants. Per CBP sources, 23,576 of them – 71.8% – were in Arizona and California. Notably, the numbers in Texas' Del Rio sector, which includes Eagle Pass, have fallen off a cliff. In December, the sector saw days of 3,000-4,000 illegal crossings per day....

The standoff at Eagle Park creates a special moment known in the ed biz as a “teachable moment” regarding the Constitution’s doctrine of federalism. The chief point to grasp here is that 13 independent sovereign states created and adopted the US Constitution. They were already associated as confederate sovereignties under the Articles of Confederation, and each was determined to retain its sovereignty notwithstanding the Constitution’s ratification. [SNIP] The Constitution’s federalism doctrine is briefly and somewhat awkwardly described in the Tenth Amendment: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are...

The White House, corporate media, and even Senate Republicans claim Democrats’ open-border amnesty bill, which does more to secure Ukraine than the U.S., is the only way to successfully curb the influx of more than 10 million illegal border crossers. The real power to end the record-breaking Southern border crisis, however, lies with President Joe Biden, who previously used his executive authority to undo all of his predecessor’s border safeguards. He simply isn’t wielding it.“Have you done everything you can do with executive authority [on the border]?” a reporter asked the president on the White House lawn on Tuesday. “I’ve...

Rasmussen Reports asked Americans if they feel that there is a civil war taking place in America…and a majority of those polled said “yes.” The context, of course, was the looming battle over our Southern border. Americans are right, of course, but with Biden’s Liquified Natural Gas (“LNG”) edict, things are even worse than they know. I don’t have access to Rasmussen Reports, which conducted the poll, but the Washington Examiner sums up its findings:…69% of likely 2024 voters said that they support the border wall and razor-wire fence that Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) has ordered. Among those, a majority,...

Biden's border is a disaster and that the month of December saw the highest number of illegal immigrants ever showing up at our southwest border -- a staggering 302,034 of them. That figure doesn't even include all those who got away. You would also know that the president has been trying to neuter Texas' right to defend itself from the onslaught and that he's suddenly changed his tune about the seriousness of the situation after three years of making it easier for illegals to cross into the country. It's an election year, after all, and people are actually paying attention.X...
