The massive news coverage of Gov. Ron DeSantis' "political stunt" of sending 50 illegal aliens to Martha's Vineyard reminds me of the media's "political stunt" of referring to illegals as "legal asylum-seekers."
Number one: They broke into our country. They're illegal aliens. Number two: All asylum claims are frauds. Every single one.
Asylum is nothing but a conveyer belt to bring the worst people on Earth to our shores. You say you turned your own country into a hellhole? Fantastic! Come right in!
No one gets asylum from a well-run country. Why would we want to admit people who have demonstrated the wisdom, foresight and diligence to produce a functioning society? Rewards await only those who've participated in the creation of complete disaster zones. (Just think of what these great thinkers could do for our country!)
Take the Venezuelan illegal aliens whom DeSantis sent to Martha's Vineyard. Biden's press secretary and human kewpie doll, Karine Jean-Pierre, repeatedly referred to the briefly loved illegals as "people who are fleeing communism, who are fleeing hardship ... desperate people -- people who are trying to come here because they're fleeing communism themselves."
How did Venezuela become communist again?
As The Martha's Vineyard Times explained (once the illegals were safely expelled and the island fumigated), Venezuela's "humanitarian crisis" resulted from that country's "complicated political and socioeconomic history."
Actually, it's not that complicated. Poor people in Venezuela voted for it. Oh boy, did they vote for it.
The ridiculous peasant Hugo Chavez promised Venezuela's poor that he would take vengeance on the rich -- "the squalid ones" -- and give their stuff to the poor. Millions of poor people responded: YESSSSS!!!
Beginning in 1998, and five times after that, the poor came out in droves to support this clown. Fist pumping! Dancing in the streets! Red shirts as far as the eye could see!
As The New York Times described it, "To the adoring, impoverished masses who catapulted him to power, Hugo Chavez Frias is El Comandante, their protector and benefactor, the bold leader who will wipe out 40 years of inequality and corruption and redirect this country's enormous oil wealth to better their lives."
Chavez basically promised to deliver the Ta-Nehisi Coates "equity" agenda that's so popular with the Democratic Party right now. The poor believed the rich were rich because they had stolen from the poor. Chavez vowed to take it back. It was sort of a 1619 Project for Venezuela.
As promised, Chavez proceeded to seize private businesses, farms (by 2011, he'd expropriated 6 million acres of farmland) and golf resorts, telling poor people to move onto the club greens.
Anybody want asylum yet? Nope!
Between 1998 and Chavez's death in 2013 -- whereupon he was promptly replaced with his handpicked successor, President Nicolas Maduro -- Venezuela's poor voted for him over and over and over again: in 1998 (80% public approval rating his first year in office), in 2000 (winning 60% of the vote), in 2004 (59% against recalling him), in 2006 (winning 63% of the vote), in 2009 (54% voted to make him president for life) and finally in 2012 (winning 55% of the vote).
Millions of Venezuela's poor thought that sounded just peachy, and the rest did nothing. They act as if this 100% predictable catastrophe was a natural disaster for which they bear no responsibility.
Yeah, I definitely want these people as my fellow citizens. They've shown solid judgment.
Now that their own choices have wrecked their country, they demand free admission into ours. Unless they're professional baseball players, I'm not seeing what's in it for us.
In the kewpie doll's press conference proclaiming that these innocent little lambs "deserve better" (than being sent to a fabulous beach resort), she cheerfully listed the great heaping portions of welfare being ladled out to Hispanics:
"[O]ur administration has delivered billions of dollars in loans to Hispanic small businesses, expanded the child tax credit to provide help to millions of families and reduce Hispanic child poverty by more than 40%, expanded access to quality healthcare to thousands of Latino families ... And thanks to President Biden's student loan debt relief program, almost half of Latino students with federal loans will see their debts forgiven."
The Democratic Party is cribbing Chavez's lines. And it will work, because the same people who fell for it last time will be voting for it here.
To be sure, the Venezuelan "asylum-seekers" aren't any worse than other members of that illustrious group. If (when) they are granted asylum, these poor decision-makers will join:
-- Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the Boston Marathon bombers (sometimes, they're persecuted for a reason);
-- Ibragim Todashev, who, along with Tamerlan, slit the throats of three Jewish men in Boston;
-- Beatrice Munyenyezi, a genocidal Rwandan, who won asylum by lying about being a victim of the genocide, rather than a perpetrator.
Those are just a few of our standout asylum grantees. To be fair, the illegal Venezuelans haven't killed anybody yet, as far as we know. They're more like a homeless guy who shows up on your doorstep after a lifetime of bad choices and demands that you give him your house.
Perhaps, just this once, we should defer to the wisdom of our moral betters on Martha's Vineyard and tell the Venezuelans: We love you! Now get the hell out.
Deport them all, dreamers too.
They’ve already sent up “refugees” to file lawsuits against Americans so they can send the money back home for the government to buy groceries for their “socialists”.
I could take Ann a bit more seriously if her breath didn’t still reek of Bill Maher’s ****.

RE: Deport them all, dreamers too.
That’s like the mice in the fable saying: “Let’s Put a Bell Around the Cat, so that we’ll always know where it’s at before it comes”.
Question: WHO’LL DO IT? WHO WILL BELL THE CAT?
Similarly, who will Deport them (or has the WILL do to so)?
Jee Ann, if only we would elect.a President who would build a wall and secure the border. You could then condemn that President and withdraw support. So you could then write articles calling for securing the border.
Well, that must be why Venezuela is emptying its prisons and jails and telling them criminals, convicts, etc. to carry their arses to the US......
As long as compromise is seen as responsible there is nothing that will not be compromised away to our domestic enemies.
I’d forgotten that.
Damn' right.
Senile Sleepy Joe puppet: Sure, Ann, the state of Venezuela is just as entitled to public welfare as any of our other 49 states. Not a joke, not a joke. The stock market is up since I took office. The pandemic is over. Inflation is flat. As a Biden, I'm being serious now. If you can't decide whether to vote for me or Trump, then you ain't black. I'm Jill Biden's wife. I have hairy legs and when I was a lifeguard, little kids used to rub my legs up and down and watch the hairs stick up. I'm running for the Senate. C'mon, man!
The winds have changed direction, so she has to as well to try and stay relevant. She’s a grifter.
Right or wrong, this lady will never speak for me again. I’ll just speak for myself. She’s thrown one too many handgrenades toward our populist movement, just to let us know she’s still relevant to something.
Venezuela is doing a virtual Mariel boat lift and sending their criminals along with the very people who voted for the mess Venezuela is in. I’ll take Al Pacino but, the rest, no thanks.
It would require the will to:
* Pass legislation to deport them.
* Have enough police and military on board to round up the illegals.
* Have enough police and military on board to quell the rioting and overcome the mass "civil disobedience" of teachers, students, bureaucrats, activists, and perhaps even other police and military.
* Do all this while Big Tech and Big Media are portraying you in the worst light, screaming to the world that you are literally Hilter-Satan rolled into one.
Does anyone really believe that the people of Venezuela voted for communism after they had experienced its failure? Any election done in the past 7 or 8 years was a sham election worthy of Saddam Hussein.
Socialism works until you run out of other people’s money.
Venezuela sound just like a copy of Rhodesia/Zimbabwe, ignorant people fall for this socialistic crap each and every time.

Biden admin announces border op with Mexico, increased removals of Venezuelans

US will immediately begin returning Venezuelans to Mexico, unless they enter via a parole program.
The Biden administration is launching a new large-scale border enforcement operation with Mexico in order to combat the ongoing crisis at the southern border, officials announced Wednesday — an operation that includes increases in checkpoints, resources and a crackdown of human smuggling operations, and will also see Venezuelans returned to Mexico unless they apply through a limited parole program.
The large-scale border enforcement campaign will see the two countries increase checkpoints for migrants, collaborate on targeting human smuggling operations and surge in resources and law enforcement personnel. First reported by Fox News Digital, the campaign will also see increased information-sharing between the two countries on how transnational criminal organizations are using stash houses and staging locations and are transporting migrants through Mexico and into the U.S.
Meanwhile, the Biden administration will immediately begin returning Venezuelan nationals who entered illegally to Mexico, expelling them under the Title 42 public health order that was implemented during the Trump administration due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The U.S. has seen a surge in the number of migrants coming to the U.S. from the authoritarian regime, and until now has been unable to return migrants under the Title 42 public health order due to a lack of diplomatic relations with Venezuela and Mexico’s refusal to take Venezuelan nationals.
There were more than 25,000 encounters of Venezuelan migrants in August, up from just 4,000 in April. In August last year there were just over 6,000 migrant encounters from Venezuela. The surge has contributed to the overwhelming pressure placed on border communities and elsewhere, as Venezuelan illegal immigrants have mainly been released into the U.S. rather than returned to their home country or to
