During an appearance on Bill Maher’s show this weekend, CNN’s Jake Tapper suggested that Biden’s mental decline was responsible for the border crisis of the last four years, claiming that it wasn’t official policy. This is ridiculous. So much of Tapper’s book and the media tour to promote it is about rewriting history and this is just one more example. It is obvious that what happened at the border was policy. It was a strategy to flood the country with new Democrat voters in an effort to change the electorate. Jake Tapper claims that Joe Biden’s mental deterioration led to...

. . . The ex-legislator debunked the charges after Fox News asked him about remarks by a Guatemalan government official speaking at the National Press Club on Tuesday who named Fuentes as being the pivotal character in the organization of the tens of thousands of Central Americans and Mexicans who have joined the caravans. Mario Duarte, Guatemala’s head of intelligence, called Fuentes a key coordinator of the caravan, according to published reports. It was the most recent public accusation of Fuentes, a former Honduran lawmaker, of being an organizer of the caravans.

What can hidden "Resistance" leader, former President Barack Obama and his handpicked protege for the 2016 presidential election possibly do to the USA from their D.C. underground activism network? Send a 2,000-and-still-growing march of Hondurans on the U.S.—with a Nov. 6 Midterm Election Day arrival just for sport! The marching Hondurans are marching on America now, because Obama and Clinton planned it that way since as far back as 2009. In trying to take down President Donald Trump, any port will do for activism-crazed Barack Obama and hopelessly embittered- in-defeat Hillary Clinton. "Obama and his then Secretary of State Hillary...

Trump’s Blackrock deal is far from over. Generations of sending American jobs, tech, and manufacturing to China was equivalent to feeding wild tigers near the local kindergarten. And now jungles are full of tigers used to getting their way. I made the tiger photograph in the wilds of India. I made the video below in the wilds of Darien Gap. At an Embera village called Bajo Chiquito. Notice the Georgia Bulldogs tattoo. Maybe this guy is going to Georgia. And the man to his right. Wearing the cross. As many do. And the nice watch. After crossing through Darien Gap....

WASHINGTON, March 27 (Reuters) - The Trump administration has directed two intelligence agencies to train their satellite surveillance capabilities on the U.S.-Mexico border region as part of a sweeping crackdown on illegal immigration and drug cartels. The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) and the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO), which are part of the Department of Defense, oversee spy satellites and analyze imagery for the Pentagon and other intelligence organizations. Their engagement, coupled with troop deployments, shows increasing militarization of the southern border, where President Donald Trump has declared a national emergency. Reuters could not determine whether the effort, which has not...

The absurdity coming from left-wing judges escalated on Monday when one of them claimed that "nazis got better treatment" than the Venezuelan gang members the Trump administration recently deported. Judge Patricia Millett made the statement during oral argument before the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals on the government's motion to stay the temporary restraining order (TRO) issued by Judge James Boasberg, using the setting to chastise the federal government for its supposed mistreatment of alleged members of the violent Tren de Aragua gang. "There were plane loads of people. There were no procedures in place to notify people," Judge Patricia...

[SNIP] This week more religious organizations thrust themselves into politics. Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee’s Refugee & Immigration Services Program uploaded a video that guides illegal aliens in the country illegally on how to dodge US immigration law. In the video, immigration attorney Barbara Graham advises illegal aliens on how to thwart authorities conducting lawful investigations at their workplaces.“Do not panic, and do not run away. If you are frightened and feel like you need to leave, you can calmly walk toward the exit,” Graham advised.“If you are stopped, you may ask if you are free to leave....

The U.S. State Department has issued the highest-level travel warning for some Mexican towns next to the U.S.–Mexico border due to elevated risks over kidnappings, gun battles, and improvised explosives devices (IEDs).A bulletin released by the U.S. Embassy and Consulates in Mexico said a “Level 4: Do Not Travel” advisory has been issued for parts of Tamaulipas state. It cites Reynosa, Rio Bravo, Valle Hermoso, and San Fernando, where IEDs have been found. The area borders the Rio Grande Valley in Texas.The warning also confirmed that officials are “aware of increasingly frequent gun battles occurring in and around Reynosa in...

Charlie Kirk @charliekirk11 Kristi Noem makes Sen. Blumenthal instantly REGRET his question about Trump’s family policy at the border: “I can’t put aside 340,000 missing children.” Imagine being a Democrat and thinking you have the moral high ground on this issue.

Texas has held the line against the Biden-Harris border crisis for the past four years ... the state’s efforts to crack down on illegal immigration and Tren de Aragua (TdA) migrant gang activity have reduced illegal crossings by nearly 90% and resulted in close to 50,000 criminal arrests. ... led to 530,400 illegal immigrant apprehensions and over 49,900 criminal arrests, with more than 42,900 felony charges... Texas became the first state to build a border wall on its own, continuing border wall construction at strategic points despite Biden putting a stop to it . ... Our top priority is the...

MAGA world erupted after Christmas in a not-very-useful debate over H-1B visas — a side issue that while important, especially to the tech industry, can’t possibly be Team Trump’s top immigration priority. Before anything else, the new president must get the border fully under control and start undoing the worst damage from the Biden disaster. That is in fact the plan: Border Czar-designate Tom Homan is already getting set to ID, detain and deport the worst criminals, including the Tren de Aragua crews. The new Homeland Security team under Kristi Noem will oversee a border clampdown; Trump diplomacy is already...

What a difference a day makes! Especially when that day was November 5th.For the last four years, Mexico stood by while Joe Biden threw open the borders and did nothing about the drug cartels. Millions of people illegally entered during that period and deadly narcotics flooded the country. Now that the American electorate voted for real border security and an end to narco-trafficking, the Mexican government has decided to act -- before Donald Trump and his hardliners act first: > With Trump and his allies this year floating the use of American military force against Mexico’s drug cartels, Mexican officials...

Protests based on the “California Values ​​Act” which limits state cooperation with federal immigration authorities are underway...Hundreds of people demonstrated around the California Capitol on Monday to urge the Legislature to try to stop Trump’s mass deportation plans. They carried banners that said “Not one cent for mass deportation” and “MAGA out of California.”Deportation ResistanceGateway Hispanic reports States Resist Trump’s Mass Deportation Plans: California, New York, Maryland and Colorado Push BackIn response to former President Donald Trump’s mass deportation plans, states like California and New York have been vocal in their opposition, asserting their authority to protect immigrant communities from...

The eye-watering financial cost of the migrant crisis hit $150 billion last year and is causing devastating consequences for residents of hard-hit cities struggling to cope with the influx, The Post has learned. Of that figure, calculated by Washington DC-based non-profit Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), $67 billion came from the federal government, but majority of the burden was shouldered by states and local governments. More than 15.5 million migrants are in the US, receiving millions in funds from FEMA. Chart showing where FEMA Shelter and Services funds were allocated in fiscal year 2024, which ran from Oct. 1,...

James O'Keefe has a documentary coming out this month, and the clips we see are harrowing. Line in the Sand focuses on the ins and outs of the migrant crisis and, in particular, (as far as I can tell) the corruption that lies at the heart of the matter. Being politically obsessed, we tend to focus on the political motivations that have driven the Democrats to import millions of migrants into the United States. We think of redistricting, illegal votes, the rush to make migrants citizens, and, of course, the damage being done to American communities done by importing criminal...

Over the past four years, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have done an unprecedented amount of damage to this country. One of their biggest failures has been at the border, as their woke policies have allowed millions of illegal aliens to flood into this country. It was already no secret that Biden and Harris have allowed the border crisis to get completely out of control. A disturbing new report, however, has confirmed that Biden and Harris’ handling of the border crisis has actually been even worse than any of us could have imagined. The federal government has confirmed that since...

The Free Press, not to be confused with the Detroit Free Press, is reporting that child sex trafficking at the Southern border exploded under the Biden-Harris administration, but you probably already knew that.The Free Press's Madeleine Rowley did a ride-along with a woman named "Lisa" (not her real name) who founded the anti-sex trafficking, non-profit group Shepherd's Watch. Their mission wasn't to charge into motel rooms and free girls from forced prostitution — that would likely result in a bullet to the head somewhere in the Texan desert. Their role is purely investigatory. Their goal is to locate the girls...

Kamala Harris keeps trying to run away from her abysmal performance as the Biden administration's border czar, but facts are stubborn things. Take, for instance, the fact that 30% of the cameras that are part of the Customs and Border Patrol's (CBP) Remote Video Surveillance System are broken. In other words, significant portions of the southern border are invisible to CBP agents, resulting in untold numbers of "gotaways" disappearing into the United States without being vetted or tracked. This information comes straight from an internal CBP memo, so it can't be dismissed as simply campaign fodder or ginned-up controversy. NBC...

Tren De Aragua, or TDA, is notorious for their "brutal violence and murder.".. Chicago gang members and ex-convicts are warning of coming violent turf wars with newly arrived Venezuelan migrants who are part of the notorious gang Tren De Aragua, or TDA. Not unlike other cities across the country, Chicago has been inundated with migrants as the border crisis rages on. Since 2022, an estimated 48,000 migrants have come to the city, with the majority of new migrant arrivals hailing from Venezuela. “When the black gangs here get fed up with the illegalities and criminal activities of these migrants or...

Former senior-ranking U.S. Border Patrol official Aaron Heitke alleged in testimony given before House lawmakers that the Biden-Harris administration purposely covered up the crisis at the southern border as millions of migrants illegally entered the United States. Heitke, the chief patrol agent of the San Diego, California region who retired last summer, told the House Homeland Security Committee on Capitol Hill Wednesday that the Biden administration forbid him from speaking with the media on certain implications of the illegal immigration crisis.
