Approximately 10 million illegal aliens have walked across the open southern US border in the first three years of Joe Biden’s administration. Millions more are on their way. DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas repeatedly lied and told Congress that the border is secure for three years. Don’t forget – Republican lawmakers refused to impeach Mayorkas earlier this month. Now Mayorkas is pushing amnesty for the approximately 40 million illegals in the country today. HOST: “What should we do with the 12 million illegals aliens already here in America?” DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas: “The answer is quite clear and quite straightforward, and...

Residents of the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) were shocked early this week when illegal aliens who got in line before they did for free Thanksgiving dinners given away by local food banks left many low-income citizens without a holiday meal this year. Reports say that residents of the NYCHA were told when to line up for their turkey dinner and fixings delivery, but when they arrived at the appointed time, they found hundreds of illegals already at the head of the line, according to WNYW-TV.

In Massachusetts, where the first Thanksgiving is considered to have been celebrated, Americans are being urged by one of the nation’s leading open borders groups to “open up their homes” to border crossers and illegal aliens. While tens of thousands of border crossers and illegal aliens continue flocking to the sanctuary state of Massachusetts — which now offers driver’s licenses to those in the United States illegally — Jewish Family Services is asking residents to consider bringing new arrivals into their homes.

The cost of providing education, healthcare, law enforcement and other expenditure resulting from millions of extra migrants adds up to as much as $451 billion a year, says the House study. The 49-page report comes as House Republicans push to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for allegedly failing to constrain the record numbers of migrants arriving at the US-Mexico border. It includes the cost estimate of $451 billion from the Center for Immigration Studies, According to FAIR, US federal and state governments spend $182 billion annually to provide services and benefits to non-legal aliens and their dependents. That figure...

The Douglas County Health Department (DCHD) and its partners are responding to a confirmed case of active tuberculosis disease (TB) at Westview YMCA. DCHD is investigating more than 500 possible exposures that may have happened at the facility’s drop-in daycare and is working to identify individuals who had close contact with the patient. Those possible exposures would have happened from late spring into late October. The Douglas County Health Department is investigating the patient’s activities while they were contagious to learn of potential exposures, helping the patient isolate, and observing them complete their medication until they test negative for TB....

Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson is promising to push the House’s H.R. 2 immigration stabilization bill to protect Americans’ right to a secure border, amid open-borders advocacy at the White House and the Senate. The promise was made as the GOP and Democrats draft rival end-of-year spending bills for government migration agencies, for aid to embattled Israel, and for continued war against Russian forces along the Ukraine-Russian border. Democrats “opened up the border under [border chief Alejandro] Mayorkas’s direction and President Biden himself,” Johnson told Fox Business, adding: They allowed for this serious situation that we have, and now, the...

Roughly 5,000 people have joined a caravan in southern Mexico headed for the border with the United States. Mustering in Chiapas, the caravan is the largest such gathering this year, according to the Daily Mail. Its members have reportedly become fed up with lethargic pace of Mexico's own migrant processing system and are opting to take their chances with America instead. The group includes people from Venezuela, Cuba, Haiti, and much of Central America. Caravan leader Irineo Mujica told Real America's Voice on Monday that "the Biden administration has dropped the ball with immigration." "A lot of the countries [that]...

U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) apprehended a record number of migrants crossing the southwest border last month, breaking the previous monthly record set in December, according to new numbers out Saturday. Federal border agents reported 269,735 apprehensions in September, bringing the total for fiscal year 2023 to more than 2.47 million. That number is up from nearly 2.38 million arrests in fiscal year 2022 and more than 1.73 million in 2021. Just more than 458,000 were documented in 2020, the final year of President Donald Trump’s administration. Border Patrol’s September numbers mark a more than 18 percent spike in...

President Joe Biden’s deputies are asking Congress for $14 billion extra to help bus illegal migrants up to the U.S. border and onward into hotels in many cities and towns around the nation. The request is being touted as “border security” even though very few funds would be used to exclude economic migrants. For example, Biden’s deputies have ushered more than 300,000 economic migrants through the U.S. border in September alone. The 2023 inflow has added up to roughly 2.5 million, not counting legal migrants and temporary workers. Instead, much of the requested money would be used to help more...

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has revealed that as of mid-October, a total of four Iranian nationals have been apprehended as they attempted to illegally cross into the US at the Texas border, and were all processed as "special interest aliens." Sources from CBP told Fox News that an Iranian man in his 40s was detained on Sunday morning in Eagle Pass, Texas after he went through the southern border around 3 a.m. That Iranian, along with the other three who were arrested, has received the "special interest alien" label due to the nation of origin, as the US...

CHICAGO (WLS) -- Every inch of the sidewalk in front of the 18th Police District headquarters is wall-to-wall tents, all used for sheltering migrants. There is so little room left that Adriana Colina and her family were forced to find space under a tree across the street. Colina has just arrived in Chicago with her three sons, all of whom are under the age of seven. "I didn't think there so much population here at the police station, I thought it would be very different, I thought everything was going to be very fast with a shelter," she said. In...

Democrat Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker has diverted rental assistance funding for struggling citizens and is using it to house illegal aliens. The Illinois Rental Payment Program was set up to allocate up to $25,000 a year to individuals struggling to pay for their housing. In 2022, the Pritzker administration proudly noted that one billion dollars in state taxes had been pumped into the program to help people still struggling after the coronavirus pandemic. When asked this month about his plans to pay for the increasing costs of housing caused by the illegal aliens pouring into the state thanks to President...

MIAMI (AP) — The ad sounds like something out of the GOP 2024 playbook, trumpeting a senator’s work with Republicans to crack down on the flow of fentanyl and other illegal drugs into the U.S., getting tough on Chinese interests helping smugglers, and noting how he “wrote a bill signed by Donald Trump to increase funding for Border Patrol.” It’s actually a commercial for Sen. Sherrod Brown, an Ohio Democrat facing a tough reelection fight that will help decide control of the Senate. “Ohioans trust Sherrod Brown to keep us safe,” says the narrator of the ad, sponsored by the...

MEXICO CITY, Oct 6 (Reuters) - The U.S. government does not want to build new sections of wall on its border with Mexico, Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said on Friday, expressing doubt that the planned construction would be carried out. "It's pure publicity," Lopez Obrador said in a regular morning press conference, after the Biden administration announced it would build additional sections of border wall, carrying forward a signature policy of the Trump administration. A high-ranking delegation of U.S. officials met Thursday with their Mexican counterparts, among them U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken. "They don't want to...

The Biden administration is restarting direct deportations to Venezuela in an attempt to reduce unlawful crossings along the southern border by Venezuelan migrants, who have journeyed to the U.S. in record numbers in recent weeks.

In the early dawn's orange glow, a Texas Rangers commander briefs a heavily armed invasion force. They're preparing to seize a remote, 170-acre Mexican cartel-controlled island in the middle of the Rio Grande River overlooked by sniper nests and potentially booby-trapped. Some of the dozens of assembled men shift from one foot to another or reposition their M-4 rifles as they listen to their commanders' instructions. 'Keep a close eye on those structures up there that have height advantage on us,' he warns. 'In case we do get engaged and someone is shot' medical evacuation plans are in place and...
