Buried News: Customs and Border Protection is recruiting single moms as ‘asylum seekers’ — in Mexico
In late April, the pastor who runs the shelter, Hector Silva, was asked to meet with U.S. government officials to discuss a process for sending some migrants who qualify for humanitarian exceptions to the public health rule across the pedestrian bridge linking Reynosa with the United States. The government allows such exceptions for migrants deemed particularly vulnerable, with decisions being made on a case-by-case basis.
Mr. Silva said Customs and Border Protection had been reaching out two or three times a day to ask for small groups of people who fall into certain categories. On May 1, for instance, Mr. Silva was asked to look for single mothers.
This also happens at other locations along the border, often the result of direct communication between local C.B.P. officials, lawyers and nonprofit groups that assist asylum seekers, according to asylum lawyers and officials with the Department of Homeland Security.
As the story notes in the case of one supposed asylum seeker — the plan for coming to the states was to obtain “a better life.” That’s a textbook economic migrant, not a person who endured state persecution and defied their government for some worthy reason as would be the case of a meritorious asylum case.
Who are these people? Well, based on the description, they are unwed mothers and natural members of both their own countries’ and the U.S.’s permanent underclass. They are poor, uneducated, and many are the least equipped to contribute anything of value to the U.S. economy. They are coming here to collect state benefits or take low-wage jobs, shutting those opportunities from other Americans as economic migrants at best and welfare collectors with zero social capital at worst. Their entry to the states on “humanitarian grounds” is effectively importing poverty and Democrat voters into the U.S., replenishing the generational underclass and expanding vast government bureaucracies to “service” them, as well as providing Democrats with additional congressional seats.
At least we can rest knowing they’ll have baby formula.
Jan. 6 Committee Adviser: No ‘Smoking Gun’ Showing Trump Planned US Capitol Breach
By Jack Phillips June 5, 2022 Updated: June 5, 2022
A former top adviser to the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol breach admitted Sunday there was no “smoking gun” that suggested President Donald Trump planned the breach.
Denver Riggleman, a former Republican House representative, had recently been a senior adviser to the panel. He told CNN’s “State of the Union” Sunday that there was no direct evidence that suggested the breach and protests outside the Capitol were premeditated.
CNN’s Jake Tapper asked the former lawmaker whether there is a “smoking gun” that “proves that Donald Trump or somebody around him knew that what happened January 6 was not a spontaneous outcry by his supporters, but was a planned attempt to get them to stop counting the electoral votes?”
“That probably [was] going to be very difficult to even find based on the limited authorities of Congress as far as getting data and things like that,” Riggleman ultimately conceded to CNN. However, he claimed later in the interview that the panel will reveal alleged nefarious actions carried out by Trump, although he didn’t make any specific claims.
There are “multiple groups involved,” he alleged. “And I think that’s what’s exciting about the hearings, is, they’re going to be able to put the multiple groups together. Remember, there’s different investigative teams that were looking at different parts of this the whole time.”
Riggleman on Sunday also appeared to declare his support for Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wy.), one of the leaders on the House Jan. 6 panel and who has become more and more unpopular among members of her own party amid her outspoken opposition to Trump. Riggleman also told CNN Sunday he is no longer a member of the Republican Party.
