The USA needs a 20 year moratorium on all immigration. From everywhere.
and international-welfare going out of the country
I’m getting to like her more and more. She’s tough, doesn’t cower under a rock like most of the GOP , is a great counterpuncher and a conservative
She’s the female version of Trump - Trump/Green would make a great ticket for 2024.
MTG is the antidote to AOC.
“a potentially groundbreaking immigration bill in the U.S. House of Representatives.”
A Qtarded person might believe that.
Nobody else.
Getting someone to put it out there in public past the cheap-labor RINOs is something, even if at the current time it has zero chance of passing.
huh?
Did you read the entire article? It discussed that very topic and why it’s important to submit bills like this.
Maybe you did read it, I’ve just observed that a lot of folks on Free Republic don’t read the articles they are discussing.
Amen to that.
Yes, she is a valiant lady. As you say, “doesn’t cower under a rock like most of the GOP”.
That’s why the left has gone after her.
The “poor huddled masses” coming across the southern border may not be so poor after all. Swiss journalist Urs Gehriger recently visited African migrants who breached the border and hung out on the streets of San Antonio, Texas, waiting to go elsewhere in the country, and he met hostility from people who didn’t want to share details about their experiences, conflicted each other, and had rolls of $100 bills. In a recording played on Fox News, Gehriger asks a migrant from Congo how she got to America. She refused to say.
As Gehriger continued to ask simple questions, he said they backtracked and “were not answering at all.” “They wouldn’t tell me anything about how they got here, and then they started to get aggressive and they were contradicting each other,” he told Laura Ingraham. “One said they ran through the forest, and another said no, there was no forest, and they were actually arguing among themselves,” Gehriger said. He said they started to get “aggressive” after questions about money and help.
Gehriger believes the illegals were coached on giving answers to authorities. “I had the impression that somebody told them not to speak about it,” and acting like “now we’re here, you have to help us, give us money.”“What I found from an aid worker there, they actually do have money. Quite a few of them, because he spotted them under a tree, right in front of the shelter, counting a roll of money with hundred dollar bills,” Gehriger told Ingraham. Hundreds of migrants Congo and Angola were transported to San Antonio the week before, and city officials say they received no warning from the feds that they were coming. KENS published a story showing dozens of people milling around downtown, saying they arrived at the southern U.S. border by way of Ecuador. ETC...

Africans jump the border----seen holding wads of 100 dollar bills?
Its likely their Third World govt's are paying the freight b/c the govt honchos cash in bigtime from remittances of the US gravy train tax dollars.
Marjorie Taylor Green (MTG), representative of Georgia’s 14th District, recently submitted the Protect America First Act, a potentially groundbreaking immigration bill in the U.S. House of Representatives. (See MTG Introduces ‘Protect America First’ Act/Immigration Pause.)
US Incorporated does not endorse candidates or legislation. But we can analyze legislation and discuss its ramifications.
I recommend you click here, and study the bill yourself.
One of the bill’s goals is to stop illegal immigration. Section 2 says it aims, “ ….. to repeal certain executive orders which endanger the security of the United States, reassert a zero-tolerance immigration policy, ensure the safe return of unaccompanied alien children, reduce human trafficking, deport criminal aliens, and end chain migration.” [Section 2, Page 2]
Section 4 proclaims that, “America’s borders must be defended, and illegal immigration must be stopped without exception.” [Section 4, page 3]
The same section declares that, “Amnesty must be rejected in all forms.” [Section 4, page 3]
Specific strategies included in the bill are:
1. Getting illegal aliens deported more quickly. [Sections 5 and 6, Page 4]
2. “No federal funding for ‘Sanctuary Cities.’ ” [Section 8, page 5]
3. “Empowering Local Law Enforcement to Ensure Immigration Security.” [Section 9, Page 6]
4. “Build the Wall” and name it the “President Donald J. Trump Wall.” [Section 10, Pages 12-15]
5. “Prohibition of Federal Disbursement of Funds to Certain Countries Whose Citizens Are Detained and Deported as Inadmissible Aliens under this Act.” That means no foreign aid for countries whose citizens are entering our country illegally. [Section 14, Page 17]
That’s all good. But there’s more.
The Protect America First Act also deals with legal immigration.
The U.S. has no obligation to receive any immigrants and has the right (as does any country) to be selective in those it does accept.
The criteria should be set based on what is good for our country and its citizens, not to serve the interests of the globalist elite.
MTG’s bill provides rational criteria upon which legal immigration should be based: “The legal immigration system of the United States should be curtailed to those that can contribute not only economically but have demonstrated respect for this nation’s culture and rule of law.” [Section 4, Page 3]
This is what the bill proposes: “It is the purpose of this Act to cease all foreign immigration to the United States for a period of four years until the border is secured and Americans can return to work.” [Section 2, Page 2]
If it became law, there would be no legal immigration for four years, allowing time to secure the border and get Americans back to work.
There is historical precedent for this.
The high-immigration Ellis Island period (1880s to 1920s) was followed by the immigration shutdown of the 1920s to the 1960s, during which more people left the U.S. than entered it.
This bill proposes a four-year shutdown. Of course, at the end of that period, the situation can be re-evaluated, under the criteria of what is best for the U.S. and its citizens.
The Protect America First Act takes on both legal and illegal immigration.
MTG is courageous enough to include this proposal: “Unnaturalized birthright citizenship — which actively encourages hostile interests to undermine the legitimacy of democratic self-governance by engaging in subversive “birth tourism” and chain migration — is contrary to the intent of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution.” [Section 4, Page 3]
The bill sets the stage for the abolition of our insane policy of automatic birthright citizenship for babies born to illegal alien mothers.
For immigration restrictionists, the Protect America First Act is the best there is.
I know what some readers are thinking: Yes, it’s a great bill, but it could never pass.
Granted, in the current Congress, I can’t see this bill passing.
But to advance your ideas, you have to get them out there in the public forum.
A bill presents proposals that can be discussed. And a well-publicized bill serves to educate the public.
Who knows? Maybe in a few years this bill, or a similar one, might be able to pass.
Not that we can endorse it!
The Associated Press is reporting the JoeBama administration is planning to use the Dallas Convention Center to house illegal border crossers. Within the AP article you might note the following claim: “Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Saturday directed the Federal Emergency Management Agency to help manage and care for children crossing the border.” However, due to the implications of the admission, Joe Biden has not declared a federal emergency…. that means any FEMA activation is moot.
In order for FEMA to carry out action their first mandate requires the issuance of a federal declaration of a national emergency. As of this morning JoeBama has not made that federal declaration, so the stories of the FEMA activation are essentially useless.
(Associated Press) – DALLAS (AP) — The U.S. government plans to use the downtown Dallas convention center to hold up to 3,000 immigrant teenagers as sharply higher numbers of border crossings have severely strained the current capacity to hold youths, according to a memo obtained by The Associated Press.
The Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center will be used for up to 90 days beginning as early as this week, according to written notification sent to members of the Dallas City Council on Monday. Federal agencies will use the facility to house boys ages 15 to 17, according to the memo, which describes the soon-to-open site as a “decompression center.”
[…] Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Saturday directed the Federal Emergency Management Agency to help manage and care for children crossing the border.
“I am incredibly proud of the agents of the Border Patrol, who have been working around the clock in difficult circumstances to take care of children temporarily in our care,” Mayorkas said in a statement. “Yet, as I have said many times, a Border Patrol facility is no place for a child.”
The memo sent to Dallas City Council members says the Federal Emergency Management Agency and HHS will “be responsible for providing shelter management and contracts” for food, security, cleaning, and medical care at the convention center. Dallas previously offered space to HHS during the 2014 surge of crossings of immigrant children. (read more)
The crisis at the border was created by JoeBama and will be weaponized for political value by JoeBama. None of this is accidental… they are using the same playbook they previously deployed in 2014.
April 2009 – After a Mid-East trip to Egypt to deliver his Cairo speech, President Barack Obama travels to South America for the “Summit of the Americas“. The summit included thirty-four South American countries. Obama wanted to promote his point that relations in North and South America can be heavily improved, especially after age old ideals on immigration and commerce are dropped. Hugo Chavez warmly embraced Obama and provided a gift, a book titled “The Open Veins of Latin America“. (link)
December 2009 – November 2010 – 100% of all political effort was leveraged to create and institute the ACA or ObamaCare. All media oxygen is focused on ObamaCare 24/7.
November 2010 – President Obama is “shellacked” in Mid-Term elections. Loses control of the House of Representatives to Republicans. Biggest electoral defeat since 1918.
January 2011 – Emphasis, and political strategy changes. “Comprehensive Immigration Reform“, ie. “amnesty” becomes the mainstay approach toward retention of political power. Throughout a contentious Republican primary season, to assist their ideological traveler, the U.S. media kept the issue on the front burner.
May 2011 – President Obama travels to the Rio Grande sector of the border to push for his immigration platform (ie. Amnesty). He proclaims the border is safe and secure and famously attacks his opposition for wanting an “alligator moat”.
November 2012 – Election year campaign(s). Using wedge issues like “War on Women”, and “Immigration / Amnesty”, candidate Obama promises to push congress for “amnesty”, under the guise of “Comprehensive Immigration Reform”, if elected. President Obama wins reelection.
December 2012 – Immediately following reelection President Barack Obama signs an Executive Order creating the “Deferred Action Program“, or DACA. Allowing millions of illegal aliens to avoid deportation. (link)
According to their own documents and research, this Deferred Action Program is what the Central American communities are using as the reason for attempted immigration. In both the border control study and the DHS intelligence report the DACA program is mentioned by the people apprehended at the border in 2013 and 2014.
Chart Source: 2013 DHS Yearbook of Immigration Statistics – Enforcement Analysis – Table 39:
May 2013 – President Barack Obama visits South America. Following a speech Mexican entrepreneurs, Obama then travelled to Costa Rica, his first visit as president. In addition to meetings with Costa Rican President Laura Chincilla, Obama attended a gathering of leaders from the Central American Integration System, (CAIS). The regional network includes the leaders of Belize, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Panama. (link) President Obama meets with the leaders of the Central American Countries.
Summer 2013 – Numbers of Illegal Unaccompanied Minors reaching the Southern U.S. border from El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua doubles. 20,000+ reach U.S. Southern border by travelling through Mexico. Media primarily ignores. (link)
October 2013 – At the conclusion of the immigrant travel season. White House receives notification that tens of thousands of illegal Unaccompanied Minors should be anticipated to hit the Southern U.S. border the following Summer [2014]. An estimated 850% increase in the number of UAC’s (from 2012’s less than 10,000) was projected. (link)
January 2014 – In response to the projections, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) posts a jobs notification seeking bids to facilitate 65,000 Unaccompanied Alien Children. The posting outlines DHS and Health and Human Services (HHS) requirements for contractors to fulfill the job. (link)
February 2014 – President Obama visits Mexico for “bilateral talks”, in an unusual one day visit (link):
Spring 2014 – With a full year of successful transport and border crossing without deportation – DHS begins to notice a significant uptick in the number of criminal elements from El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua; which have joined with the UAC’s to gain entry. Internal DHS documents reveal the “refugee” status is now being used by both criminal cartels, and potentially by Central American government(s) to send prison inmates into the U.S. (link)
June 2014 – As expected tens of thousands of Unaccompanied Alien Children from El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua hit the border and the headlines. Despite the known planning, and recently discovered prior internal notifications, the White House claims it did not see this coming. However, internal documents including a –DHS Border Security Alert– show that in March, fully three months earlier, the White House was aware of what was coming in June.
June 20th 2014 – Congressional leadership and key Latino Democrats from the Democrat Hispanic Caucus meet with representatives from El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Mexico.
[…] “As long as (U.S.) immigration reform is not approved, the exodus of children to the United States will continue,” Jorge Ramon Hernandez, the senior representative of Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez, said at the talks. (link)
June/July 2014 – By the end of June the media have picked up the story and it’s called “A Border Crisis”. However, the White House is desperate to avoid exposure to the known criminal elements within the story. (link)
July 3rd, 2014 – President Obama requests $3,700,000,000 ($3.7 billion) in supplemental budget appropriations to deal with the border crisis. Only $109 million is for actual border security or efforts to stop the outflow from El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua. Growing concern amid Democrats brings out a defense position that George Bush created the crisis in 2008.
Hidden inside a massive budget request is President Obama seeking legal authorization to spend taxpayer funds for lawyers and legal proceedings on behalf of the UAC’s and their families.
In essence congress is being asked to approve the executive branch’s violation of previous immigration law. Section 292 of the Immigration and Nationality Act prohibits representation of aliens “in immigration proceedings at government expense“. President Obama is seeking authorization to use taxpayer funds to provide the Illegal Aliens with government lawyers.
It becomes increasingly obvious the spending request is to facilitate President Obama in expanding the services toward ALL illegal immigrants throughout the U.S.
The stealth nature of the request is brilliant. Once the funds are established and appropriated the administration can then use millions of taxpayer funds to essentially integrate not only the UAC’s but any illegal alien currently within the system.
The $3.7 Billion becomes the amnesty program Obama has sought but been blocked from achieving.
July 9th 2014 – Fearful that U.S. political interests might bring a halt to the outflow already in place, and/or actually result in a backlog of travelling migrants stuck at the border inside Mexico:…
[…] Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto and Guatemalan president Otto Perez Molina held a joint press conference in Playas de Catazaja, Mexico, to officially announce an agreement to make it easier for those making the illegal journey to the United States from Central America, to cross into Mexico.
The Southern Border Program to Improve Passage, will provide for more border checkpoints along Mexico’s border with Guatemala, and offer more protection and even emergency medical care to those making their way north. The illegal aliens will receive a so-called Regional Visitor’s Card, according to El Universal. (link)
July 10th, 2014 – Facing pushback from congress as well as sticker shock at the amount he is requesting, President Obama sends his DHS team to Capitol Hill to ramp up anxiety, and threats of consequences:
Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said Thursday that as many as 90,000 unaccompanied child migrants could cross the southwest border before the end of this fiscal year in September.
That will place a huge strain on immigration agencies, which will badly need new money to get through the summer, Johnson says.
The 90,000 number — the highest yet given by the administration — is spelled out in written Senate testimony by Johnson as well as Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Mathews Burwell, who must also deal with the border crisis.
“We are preparing for a scenario in which the number of unaccompanied children apprehended at the border could reach up to 90,000 by the end of fiscal 2014,” Johnson’s testimony reads, and he bluntly warns that without an infusion of new funds, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) will run out of money in August. (read more)
Not only did the White House know what was going to happen this year, as far back as 2012; but the White House actually appears to have constructed the events to fall into a very specific pattern and done NOTHING to stop the consequences from the DACA executive order issued in December 2012.
The amount of U.S. taxpayer money spent on the Illegal Alien Children, through HHS and DHS grants, since 2010 is staggering:
• Between Dec 2010 and Nov 2013, the Catholic Charities Diocese of Galveston received $15,549,078 in federal grants from Health & Human Services for “Unaccompanied Alien Children Project” with a program description of “Refugee and Entry Assistance.”
• Last year, the Catholic Charities Diocese of Fort Worth received $350,000 from Department of Homeland Security for “citizenship and education training” with a program description of “citizenship and immigration services.”
• Between September 2010 and September 2013, the Catholic Charities of Dallas received $823,658 from the Department of Homeland Security for “Citizenship Education Training” for “refugee and entrant assistance.”
• From Dec 2012 to January 2014, Baptist Child & Family Services received $62,111,126 in federal grants from Health & Human Services for “Unaccompanied Alien Children Program.” (link)
When you see figures like that, it makes you wonder if the media espousals, from the “faith based” leadership Obama/Biden met with are based on religious charity toward unaccompanied minors – or maybe a vested financial interest in continuance of the program itself.
Why? LEGAL immigration sucks too. It is done to reduce wages PERIOD. WE NEED TO STOP ALL IMMIGRATION NOW!!!
Just another virtue signalling LEGAL immigration hack...
Hmmm, that was the point I was trying to make. The GOP has to define its policy, not just complain. I think MTG’s proposal goes a long way in that direction.
common sense - a breath of fresh air:
MTG is courageous enough to include this proposal: “Unnaturalized birthright citizenship — which actively encourages hostile interests to undermine the legitimacy of democratic self-governance by engaging in subversive “birth tourism” and chain migration — is contrary to the intent of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution.” [Section 4, Page 3]
