Border agents have recorded a sharp rise in Indians attempting to illegally enter the US from Canada in a trend immigration attorneys expect could continue until the election. There were 30,010 Indian nationals apprehended at the norther border in 2023 compared to just 2,225 two years earlier during the height of the pandemic, according to figures published by US Customs and Border Protection. A further 16,622 have also arrived this fiscal year, which began on October 1. The data shows a rise in encounters at ports of entry, including airports, but also a surge in migrants arrested while trying to...

Florida is the top destination for hundreds of thousands of migrants from Haiti, Venezuela, Cuba and Nicaragua who got accepted into President Biden’s humanitarian parole program, says a new report. The Washington-based Center for Immigration Studies, citing analysis of the latest U.S. Customs and Border Protection data, reports that some 326,000 migrants from the four countries have arrived at airports in Florida in the past year. That number far exceeds those who traveled to airports in Houston, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Atlanta and other cities, according to the data, which notes 84% headed to Florida. South Florida is home to...

Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-VA) raged at Republicans lawmakers on the House floor for opposing an aid package to Ukraine before Saturday’s vote. The House passed a $61 billion aid bill for Ukraine amid the country’s current war with Russia. Lawmakers also passed other bills providing assistance to Taiwan and other U.S. allies. Hardline conservative lawmakers opposed the bipartisan legislation by arguing the money should have gone towards security at the U.S. southern border. Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) worked with Democratic lawmakers to bring the aid bills to the floor and ensured it’s passage. Connolly responded to those complaints by noting...

House Speaker Mike Johnson supported shutting down the Southern border until it got in the way of his real priorities: sending money abroad.There’s a very simple logic to the Democrat position on Ukraine: Its continued welfare sponsored by American taxpayers is very important, but it’s not more important than maintaining an open Southern border for the world’s criminal and destitute to flood the nation (again, sponsored by American taxpayers).We know that’s the indisputable Democrat position because while they, including the Biden White House, insist there’s nothing more urgent than sending tens of billions dollars more to Ukraine, they’re not willing...

“I have changed my mind on the matter,” said Louise Meijer, a Swedish Member of Parliament who was once a vocal supporter of open borders and mass arrivals—but as Thomas Brooke of Remix News writes, Meijer has undertaken a “spectacular u-turn” and is now calling for “strict immigration, deportations, and reparation” policies to combat the “fundamental” transformation of her beloved Sweden. Here’s this, from Brooke’s report: A Swedish lawmaker who previously advocated in favor of mass arrivals of asylum seekers during the migrant crisis of 2015 has admitted the influx of immigration has fundamentally changed the country and now wants...

More than 1,300 illegal aliens from Africa swarmed New York City Hall on Tuesday after they were falsely promised work visas and green cards.

This reportedly happened yesterday in Carlsbad, California. A group of mostly military age males invaded our country illegally via boat and then dispersed throughout the city in cars. Are any of them on the terror watch list? Do any of them have a criminal history? We don’t know. We have no clue who’s in our country.

Boat Boy is back at it — and they can’t even ship him home. The homeless migrant who was busted joyriding on a historic FDNY fireboat and then swiping a sailboat for another leisurely ride was released without bail Friday — only to immediately try to climb aboard an even bigger ship in Manhattan, according to sources, who said immigration officials’ hands are tied. “Welcome to New York,” said Eric Fischer, vice president of Friday’s ship, the Frying Pan. Juan Hernandez, 22, of Ecuador was set free by Judge Marva Brown on Friday morning after allegedly taking the former FDNY-owned...

A suspected illegal immigrant from Venezuela tried his luck at robbing a bank in Ohio this week, although the heist went awry after he was unable to communicate what he wanted. Fox 8 reports that police arrested 20-year-old Yeixon Brito-Gonzalez and suspect that he is in the country illegally. Customs and Border Patrol have put a hold on him. “We have no way to tell if he is here legally or not,” said Sandusky Police Chief Jared Oliver. “But he has no proof of identification.” The failed heist took place on April 6th at around 11:30 a.m., when bank clerks...

During a portion of an interview with CNBC that was recorded in February and aired on Thursday’s “Cities of Success,” Denver Mayor Mike Johnston responded to a question on if the city was too open to migrants and too generous by stating that “it’s a balance. We want to be a welcoming city” but doing that without federal help “requires shared sacrifice, it requires compromise. So, we are both making cuts to city budgets to meet this financial need, and we are making cuts to the amount of services we can provide to the migrants that arrive and to the...

Denver, which is commonly referred to as a “sanctuary city,” announced on Wednesday that it will spend $89.9 million on services for incoming illegal migrants, pulling some of the funding from roughly $45 million in public programs and services. Denver’s police department will be hit with an $8.4 million reduction — about 1.9% of its total operating budget, the city confirmed to the Daily Caller News Foundation.

n illegal Mexican immigrant who has been deported at least eight times, according to Ohio's Butler County Sheriff's Office, and arrested nearly a dozen times is now facing murder charges following the discovery of a man’s body in Ohio. Fermin Garcia-Gutierrez, 46, is being held at the Butler County Jail on charges of aggravated murder (premeditated), using weapons while intoxicated, carrying concealed weapons, possession of drugs and obstructing official business, Fox 19 reports, citing jail records. Officers found the victim’s body in the 1100 block of S. 13th Street in Hamilton just after 2:30 p.m. Monday in response to a...

Biden's open borders policy has brought misery to Americans. Illegals are killing Americans and sexually assaulting women and children. Venezuelan crime gangs have set up shop along the East coast. Illegal are squatting in American's homes. Then there's the Chinese army. Joe Biden has allowed 46,000 Chinese nationals illegally into this country. That's an army of more than two divisions. Think this is coincidence? On the TV series NCIS character Leroy Jethro Gibbs had a set of his own rules. Rule 39 was "There's no such thing as a coincidence." This is no coincidence. Why are they here? This is...

When an illegal immigrant from Guatemala was accused of nine counts of sexually assaulting a child in Massachusetts, federal immigration agents wanted him detained. But the Massachusetts courts system, operating under the state’s “sanctuary” policies, said no, and the alleged rapist was released. Today he’s in federal custody thanks to an elite immigration enforcement unit, and sanctuary city politics are back in the New Hampshire race for governor. Republicans are yet again calling out Granite State Democrats for embracing Bay State policies. The suspect in this case was one of five illegal aliens in the Boston area arrested by Immigration...

A shocking revelation shakes the foundation of democracy as 386,422 new voters flood the registration rolls without a photo ID in a single week, with a staggering 277,077 of them in Texas alone. The innocence of this surge in registrations is dubious at best, especially considering the alarming trend unfolding in key swing states. Data from the government’s own records paints a damning picture: illegals, unable to obtain licenses but furnished with Social Security Numbers for work permits, are exploiting the system to tilt the electoral playing field in favor of the Democrats. This isn’t an isolated incident—it’s a calculated...

The bodies of eight Chinese nationals have been found on a beach in the Mexican state of Oaxaca after their boat capsized, officials say. The bodies were found on Friday along a route used by illegal migrants trying to reach the United States. The seven women and a man were on board a boat operated by a Mexican that set off from Chiapas state, on the border with Guatemala, on Thursday. One other person survived. It was not clear what happened the boat's driver. The prosecutor's office in Oaxaca said the bodies were found near a beach in the town...

In Obrador’s view any country that would open wide its border, welcome in 10 million foreign nationals, without legal sanction, without audit, without even processing, deserves the contempt he extends. In a recent 60 Minutes interview, Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador—who prefers to be known as AMLO for short—issued to the Biden administration blackmail demands that sounded more like existential threats. AMLO warned the U.S. that the current influx of some 10 million illegal aliens through the southern border will most certainly continue—unless America agrees to his ultimatums. One, Obrador says the U.S. must now send $20 billion in...

Big Apple lawmakers may need their heads examined. Newly arrived migrants to the five boroughs may soon be able to visit with taxpayer-funded therapists to get in touch with their feelings, should a new City Council proposal become law.

The liberal actor declared, 'In all honesty, I have educated myself so much since 2016' --------------------------------------------- Comedian and pro-Israel advocate Michael Rapaport shredded what the modern Democratic Party has become and explained why he is increasingly considering voting for Trump in a new interview. As part of a series about the Israel-Hamas conflict that rages in the Middle East, an interviewer from Visegrad24 spoke to Rapaport on the shores of an Israeli beach and asked, "Have your political views shifted? You’ve been a very vocal anti-Trump - probably the most vocal anti-Trump celebrity out there. Have your views shifted? I...

A federal appeals court has extended its hold on the implementation of Senate Bill 4, a Texas immigration bill that makes illegal border-crossers deportable under Texas state law. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) claims that the law, signed on Dec. 18, 2023, is necessary because the Biden administration has willfully refused to enforce our nation’s immigration laws. The administration’s position is that S.B. 4 is preempted and violates the U.S. Constitution. The Constitution tasks the federal government with regulating immigration and controlling international borders. A “decision on removability,” the argument goes, touches “on foreign relations and must be made with...
