The majority of registered voters support former President Donald Trump’s plan to mass deport illegal aliens from the United States, a Pew Research Center survey reveals. The survey found that 56 percent of voters, including almost 3-in-10 Kamala Harris supporters and 88 percent of Trump supporters, support mass deportations — a plan touted by Trump to remedy the nation’s record-breaking illegal immigration problem. Americans, in poll after poll, continue to say they support mass deportations. The latest NPR survey found that almost 60 percent of mainstream voters back deporting all illegal aliens from the U.S. while 56 percent of voters...

Undercover journalist James O’Keefe went to the front lines of the migrant industrial complex in his new documentary “Line in the Sand,” and what he found was shocking. “What my takeaway was, actually, from having lived through this and gone down there and been in Mexico and faced it with the cartel, is that it’s all about money,” O’Keefe tells Alex Stein of “Prime Time with Alex Stein.” “Everyone is making money off of it. And there was one scene in the film where the cartel is cutting through the fence, and I’m face to face with them. And first...

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has spent more than $600 million of available funds to serve noncitizen migrants in fiscal year 2024, and now, according to Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, the agency doesn’t have enough funding left over to make it through the rest of the hurricane season. “The agency is being stretched as it works with states to assess damage from Hurricane Helene and delivers meals, water, generators and other critical supplies,” the Associated Press reported. Hurricane Helene made landfall in Florida last Thursday, then plowed through Georgia, the Carolinas, Tennessee and Virginia, flooding towns and killing...

(Excerpted) As the chief architect of the Biden Administration’s pro-illegal immigration agenda, the secretary is now seething about the blowback his policies have received. When Mayorkas complains about the lack of “progress” on the immigration issue, he is expressing frustration that pushback from the American people has upset his ability to fully implement his destructive agenda. [Mayorkas] genuinely views his critics as national security threats, and as head of DHS has the power to weaponize the powers of the federal government against them. After all, this is the same man who commissioned a “Disinformation Governance Board” meant to censor political...

A United Nations agency expressed “profound concern” on Monday over the Biden administration’s updated asylum restrictions along the U.S-Mexico border. ...the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) condemned the move in a public statement and called on the White House to reconsider....Matthew Reynolds, UNHCR Representative to the U.S. and the Caribbean, stated. “The regulation severely curtails access to protection for people fleeing conflict, persecution, and violence...Limiting or blocking such access is a violation of international refugee law and the humanitarian principles...” Biden on Monday tweaked the threshold at which the partial asylum ban would be deactivated...deactivating the asylum restrictions...

After the economy, illegal immigration ranks highest among voters’ concerns. President Trump has spoken of “mass deportations” of the more than ten million illegal aliens who have flooded our country under Biden-Harris. That’s appealing political rhetoric to the base, but he needs to build policy muscle upon the rhetorical bones. First, the optics. We’re talking ten million people, and then some. Men, women, children, oldsters, families. Some are the “hardworking people seeking a better life,” as they claim; others are gangsters and terrorists, plus lots in between. Rounding them up and arranging transport of a population equal to Michigan will...

Chicago's gang tensions are rising as newly arrived Venezuelan migrants, including the Tren de Aragua gang, clash with local black gangs. Former gangster Tyrone Muhammad warns that these turf wars, fueled by economic frustration, could cause the city to erupt in violence.

Illegal migrants flooding the US are contributing to what could be the highest number of homeless in the country since the data were first recorded, with cities draining their coffers to fund shelters, a report says. At least 550,000 people were reported homeless in January — the same month the US notched the highest number ever of border crossings, according to an analysis by the Wall Street Journal. The disturbing homeless figure was at least 10% more than January 2023, a year that had the highest overall annual tally since 2007, when the government started reporting its own figures, the...

Springfield, Ohio.. Residents of Springfield didn’t expect that their community would be tossed into the center of one of the most consequential elections in American history. They also didn’t expect the town of 58,000 to receive as many as 20,000 Haitian migrants in just a few short years, ushering in a shift that’s left many Springfielders feeling like foreigners in their own home, and worried for their economic prospects. The surge of Haitian migrants came during the Biden-Harris administration, when more than 300,000 Haitians who crossed the border into the United States were offered temporary protected status, allowing them to...

Earlier this month, four Venezuelan members of the Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang who were arrested in Colorado were confirmed as illegal aliens, according to a statement made by an ICE spokesperson to Fox News. The Venezuelan nationals were in the age ranges of 19 through 24, and they all crossed the southern border via Texas illegally in 2022 and 2023, under the Biden regime’s watch. Aurora police arrested all four of them and ice placed detainer requests on two of the Venezuela nationals. The four Venezuelan nationals were arrested following a shooting which took place close to Nome Street...

A Biden administration migrant welfare program could be handing out in excess of $1 billion in benefits to those crossing the Southern Border. The CHNV program has allowed hundreds of thousands of nationals from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela to enter the US. It allows 30,000 migrants to apply for asylum each month and be flown to the US on the taxpayer dollar, as long as they have a sponsor who passes a background check.

Rep. Jonathan Jackson (D-IL), son of civil rights activist Jesse Jackson, got an earful at a recent town hall event as black residents of his district blasted him for his support of the tens of thousands of illegal migrants flooding into the Windy City. During the town hall, the Illinois First District Representative was confronted by a resident on the migrant issue and Jackson made a vain attempt to turn the tables on the man by saying, “Can you help me with the solution you’d like to see me do?” The resident in the audience did not hesitate for a...

If you do a Google search for 'dogs cats springfield', you'll find page after page of the MSM calling the story false. The closest to something sympathetic to Trump is "Haitian migrants eating pets? Here’s the even more serious story about immigrants in Springfield, Ohio" (link) and that doesn't take the dogs/cats story seriously. You can downplay that all you want, but such search results are what millions of potential voters see. Even if someone manages to find rock solid evidence supporting Trump's claim, it will probably just be a few incidents and it will be downplayed. (The video of...

An illegal migrant convicted of a violent assault on Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts was released — and then went on to allegedly rape a child just months later — despite ICE requesting he be handed over to them, the feds say. ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) in Boston said it had to ask to take custody of Brazilian national Warley Neto, 24, three times before federal agents were finally allowed to grab him. Two of the towns that were involved int the case — Edgartown and Tisbury — have declared themselves sanctuary cities. Neto was taken into custody by...

An undocumented immigrant police likened to a “ghost” admitted to kidnapping and raping a teenage girl at knifepoint near New Orleans. Diego Rodriguez-Salvador, 23, was arrested Sept. 4 for allegedly luring a 13-year-old girl into his car before driving her to his home in Kenner, La. and raping her. Rodriguez-Salvador, an illegal migrant from Honduras, allegedly asked his friend’s teenage sister to take a ride to a nearby store with him. She accepted the ride, but when the girl noticed they were headed in the wrong direction, Rodriguez-Salvador pulled a knife, assaulted her, then dropped her off in her own...

The media have always engaged in mass lying about immigration, but they're really going the extra mile this election cycle. Lie No. 1 is the toughness of the “bipartisan” border bill, covered in my last column. (Quotes on “bipartisan” because not a single congressional Republican supports it, even the guy who co-sponsored it.) Immigration Lie No. 2 is even more comically, straw-graspingly wrong: The Biden-Harris administration is deporting MORE illegals than Trump!

Investigative journalist James O’Keefe has obtained leaked U.S. Army documents revealing the growing threat of the Venezuelan criminal organization Tren de Aragua (TDA) in New York City. The Tren de Aragua, one of Venezuela’s most dangerous gangs, has reportedly established a foothold in key neighborhoods across Brooklyn, the Bronx, and Williamsburg, with an estimated 400 members currently residing in those areas. According to the documents, which are categorized as Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), Tren de Aragua is actively involved in human trafficking, drug smuggling, and arms dealing, posing an imminent threat not only to local communities but to law enforcement...

Amid news of an armed Venezuelan gang taking over an apartment complex in Colorado, new reports claim the same thing is happening in Chicago. “A group of 32 armed Venezualans (sic) took over an apartment building in Chicago tonight,” the popular Libs of TikTok account on X shared, posting an audio recording of the emergency 911 dispatch call. “First they did this in Aurora, CO and now Chicago? Which city will be next?” the post asked. “This invasion happened on Kamala’s watch.” Police were reportedly sent to the 6100 block of South King Drive on Monday after the call that...
