A Venezuelan teenage migrant's journey to the United States-Mexico border endured a heartbreaking moment when he had to separate himself from the pet dog who accompanied him on his long journey. Brayan Pinto, 18, and his small fluffy white dog, Brandy, traveled through several Central and South America countries, a treacherous tropical jungle in Panama, and all the way north through Mexico in order to seek asylum with the United States government.

We’ve seen things going down a very dangerous road in places like the U.K. when it comes to restrictions on free speech. As we previously reported, British police have even arrested people for a meme posted on social media because it caused someone “anxiety.” But if that wasn’t bad enough, here are South Wales Police allegedly telling James Harvey, a citizen journalist, that he should take down a post in which he used the term “illegal” and “undocumented alien” in a video because if someone sees it and takes offense, he could be pursued for a “hate crime.” How insane...

"How come migrants are allowed to come into this country unvaccinated, but world-class tennis players are not?" he asked White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre. "The U.S. government cannot discuss the details of individual visa cases. Due to privacy reasons, the U.S. also does not comment...

Could the Biden administration all be some huge joke? A parody or some crazy dark comedy in which a career political hack with rapidly advancing dementia somehow becomes president and bumbles around as his radical handlers begin implementing a dizzying number of measures to weaken America and endanger Americans? Is there anything the Biden administration is doing that would make it clear that this is not actually what’s happening here? The latest appalling news to come from Biden’s handlers is that they are allowing illegal immigrants to board commercial planes using their arrest warrants as identification. No, they’re not then...

One of the most disconcerting experiences you can have is to be blocked from entering the United States at the border. Some inadequately prepared travellers have been known to be detained for many hours, questioned—sometimes by multiple U.S. Customs and Border Protection (USCBP) officers covering the same areas pf concern—had their suitcases and electronic equipment opened and ransacked, and even physically searched. Anyone who has ever endured such an experience will remember it for a long time. So what can you do to best prepare for your entry inspection, whether it is through a USCBP preclearance facility abroad, at a...
