wow, open censorship. Did they make up a reason?
I’m wondering why they can’t all just enter and stay, or, “embark on their USA travel journey”, in New Mexico.
A blue, blue state, if there ever was one.
Are their ports of entry/cut wire fences being overwhelmed?
If not, why not?
Hmmmm?
It’s NOT a felony to enter US illegally, which means not entering at ports of entry. It’s a misdemeanor.
Most they would get is 6 months, if enforced by fed. If it is a Texas felony, they could get 10 yes or what is written into law.

Improper Entry Is a Crime
To be clear, the most common crime associated with illegal immigration is likely improper entry. Under federal criminal law, it is misdemeanor for an alien (i.e., a non-citizen) to:
Enter or attempt to enter the United States at any time or place other than designated by immigration officers;
Elude examination or inspection by immigration officers; or
Attempt to enter or obtain entry to the United States by willfully concealing, falsifying, or misrepresenting material facts.
The punishment under this federal law is no more than six months of incarceration and up to $250 in civil penalties for each illegal entry. These acts of improper entry — including the mythic “border jumping” — are criminal acts associated with illegally immigrating to the United States.
Like all other criminal charges in the United States, improper entry must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt in order to convict.
Unlawful Presence Is Not a Crime
Some may assume that all immigrants who are in the United States without legal status must have committed improper entry. This simply isn’t the case. Many foreign nationals legally enter the country on a valid work or travel visa, but fail to exit before their visa expires for a variety of reasons.
But mere unlawful presence in the country is not a crime. It is a violation of federal immigration law to remain in the country without legal authorization, but this violation is punishable by civil penalties, not criminal. Chief among these civil penalties is deportation or removal, where an unlawful resident may be detained and removed from the country. Unlawful presence can also have negative consequences for a resident who may seek to gain re-entry into the United States, or permanent residency.
Both improper entry and unlawful presence should be avoided by any immigrant to the United States, but an illegal alien cannot be criminally charged or incarcerated simply for being undocumented. To learn more, check out FindLaw’s section on Immigration Law.
Then everyone is happy!

“People should put the blame where it belongs, not on our governor and law enforcement.”
With all due respect Rusty they (illegals) have broken the law, so the governor’s and law enforcement, and National Guard of the boarder states should be putting them in jail even if they have to put them in makeshift jails. Then ICE should deport them back to where they come from. Instead they are just letting them enter telling them to report to court in so many days.
Yes Biden is the worst offender.

John Roland, a great and preeminent Newscaster in New York City for many years, passed away this morning. With John, there was no Fake News. He was a professional and very high quality individual with many friends, and very few enemies. My warmest condolences to his family. John will be greatly missed!

I am heading to Des Moines this Saturday to rally with the Great People of Iowa! Unlike Joe Biden, I protected Iowa’s First-in-the-Nation Caucuses, and always will. Every promise I made to the people of Iowa, I fulfilled as your President, and even beyond my promises, I got Farmers 28 Billion Dollars from China, money that was unthinkable by anyone else. I also saved Ethanol, and did more for Iowa than anyone else in history—and will again!
Snowflake. Figures. That about sums us up. Thanks for the ping - I was aware that our prancing Prime Minister was doing something with the Coat of Arms. I guess I’m just relieved he didn’t plaster a rainbow flag all over it.

“It’s NOT a felony to enter US illegally,.....”
I guess it depends on who you read.
“Is Unlawful Entry a Felony?
Yes, unlawful entry is a felony. And having a felony offense makes it extremely difficult to legally reenter the United States. A list of undocumented immigration civil offenses and violation consequences are listed below.”

78 years ago today, in 1945, WW2 in Europe was ended with the surrender of Nazi Germany to the Allies.
The Ukrainian prosecutor that Biden personally picked is the source for the story John Solomon broke today:
“The guy that was dealing with Joe Biden thought Joe Biden was corrupt enough that he wanted to come to the US attorney & prove that.”
