Former U.S. Rep. Beto O'Rourke called on Democrats to do more than "comprehensive immigration reform" the next time they take back the White House and Congressional majorities, at a rally on Saturday against the GOP effort to redistrict Texas congressional districts. "We absolutely failed to live up to the expectations that we set, so next time we win power, we're going to drive that car like we stole it," he said at the rally in Fort Worth called "The People vs. The Power Grab." BETO O'ROURKE: Check this out. "You know, Democrats -- present company excluded -- have talked an...

Americans from out of state still would have to pay higher tuition price Anyone who has lived in Pennsylvania for at least 12 months “regardless of immigration status” would be eligible for in-state tuition under a new bill.

Greg Scott, D-Conshohocken, House Bill 1762 would include illegal immigrants among those eligible for the lower cost tuition price at public colleges and universities, Campus Reform reports.

Officials say they need the land to meet state-mandated affordable housing targets.. In a case drawing national attention, Cranbury Township is moving forward with its plans to seize part of a historic 175-year-old family farm to build affordable housing, despite fierce push-back and an active lawsuit. The Middlesex County township recently hired a company to appraise 12 acres of the Henry family farm, according to NJ.com, which is the first step toward possibly condemning the land through eminent domain. Local officials have maintained that they need the land to meet state-mandated affordable housing targets. The Henry family — which has...

California’s leaders like to boast that our state is a sanctuary. And it is — a sanctuary for criminals. Since the so‑called sanctuary laws went into effect in 2018, tens of thousands of criminal illegal aliens have walked out of California jails instead of being transferred to Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Violent crime has jumped nearly 20% statewide. That’s not compassion. That’s not progress. That’s negligence. Every preventable crime committed by someone who should have been deported is proof of these policies’ failure. Even in deep‑blue Los Angeles, some officials admit the obvious: violent offenders should be deported. That’s just...

This editor picked up the language-learning app Babbel during a recent sale, and though he'd prefer to learn French, he picked Central American Spanish, figuring if the country is going to be taken over by illegal aliens from Central America, he'd better be prepared. His Spanish isn't good enough to translate this, although it's reported that Democrat Rep. Delia Ramirez told an audience at the second annual Panamerican Congress this weekend that she's a proud Guatemalan before she's an American. VIDEO AT LINK: Democrat Rep. Delia Ramirez at a summit in Mexico City this weekend tells the audience while speaking...

This should be the single biggest priority for the Republican Party before midterms. Ensuring the Census only counts US Citizens ENDS the Democrat Party.. Rep Tim Burchett “Are illegal immigrants counted in the US Census?” Census Bureau Director Robert Santos “Yes”.. Rep Tim Burchett “Is that data collected by the census used to decide how many congressional districts and electoral college votes a state gets?” Census Bureau Director Robert Santos “it is” Again, this should be the biggest priority to change.

Congress has created several programs to allow illegal border crossers claiming to be minors to remain in the U.S. Despite years of documented abuse of the programs, Congress continues to fund them to the tune of billions of dollars. One is the failed unaccompanied minor program, with decades of documented reports of abuse and neglect of children ... Another is the Special Immigrant Juvenile Petition (SIJP) program that allows illegal foreign national minors already involved in the juvenile court system to remain in the U.S. and obtain a pathway to citizenship. For decades, the SIJP has been exploited by criminal...

A defense contractor and top campaign contributor to House Appropriations Committee chairman Rep. Hal Rogers (R-KY) is in the running to get a contract to print millions of IDs and other government documents associated with the president’s planned executive amnesty, Breitbart News has learned exclusively. The contractor, General Dynamics, is on the list of “interested vendors” for a draft solicitation that U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), an agency of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), sent out to vendors in October. If the president goes through with an executive amnesty for millions of illegal aliens and General Dynamics gets...

A federal judge has dismissed the Trump administration’s lawsuit against Illinois and Chicago over sanctuary policies that the government has said interfere with federal immigration enforcement. In a ruling released Friday, U.S. District Judge Lindsay Jenkins said the government lacked standing to override local laws that limit cooperation and information-sharing between law enforcement. Jenkins said the government doesn’t have the legal authority “to commandeer states under the guise of intergovernmental immunity.” The Justice Department didn’t respond to a request for comment.

On Friday’s broadcast of Fox 5 New York’s “Good Day New York,” New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) discussed the federal lawsuit filed over the city’s sanctuary policy and said that the law should be adjusted to allow for greater coordination with the federal government when it comes to violent criminals, but for people “who are going about following their next step on the American Dream that are undocumented. We should not be harming them at all” by denying them taxpayer benefits because they “are innocent people who are just trying to pursue the American Dream.” Adams said that...

A federal judge on Friday dismissed President Trump’s lawsuit against the state of Illinois and Governor Pritzker over sanctuary city laws. US District Judge Lindsay Jenkins, a Biden appointee, dismissed the lawsuit and said federal laws do not force states to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement. “Defendants’ motions to dismiss are granted. The individual defendants are dismissed because the United States lacks standing to sue them with respect to the Sanctuary Policies; Cook County Board of Commissioners is dismissed because it is not a suable entity separate from Cook County,” the judge wrote. Politico reported:

Across the country, arrests of criminal illegal immigrants have soared as President Donald J. Trump makes good on his promise to rid our communities of these threats to public safety — making sure illegal immigrant killers, rapists, gangbangers, and other violent criminals find no safe harbor.The Trump Administration’s landmark public safety effort is making local news from coast to coast:In South Carolina, ICE arrests have more than tripled: “Looking at arrests from this year, 47% are on people already facing one charge; 41% are people already convicted.”In Michigan, “ICE arrests have jumped 154%“ since President Trump took office.In Minnesota, ICE...

The illegal immigrant accused of shooting an off-duty border officer in a Manhattan park was only vetted using Zoom before being released into the US under the Biden administration, The Post has learned. Dominican Republic national Miguel Francisco Mora Nunez, 21, waltzed across the US-Mexico border into Arizona in April 2023 — during the raging migrant crisis that saw federal agents take drastic measures in an attempt to free up resources. That month alone, the US saw a wave of more than 183,000 migrants come across the southern border. “The whole system was overwhelmed by what the Biden administration was...

An appellate court ruled the Trump administration can move forward with ending temporary deportation protections for thousands of Afghan and Cameroonian nationals. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is allowed to end the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for roughly 10,000 Afghans and Cameroonians while a court challenge against the move continues to play out in court, the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Monday. The court determined that while CASA — an immigration advocacy group suing DHS — has a plausible case, there is not enough evidence to block the TPS phaseout while the court challenge continues. “We agree with...

Hunter Biden, the troubled son of former President Joe Biden, gave a big, fat “f you” to those who are upset about illegal immigration in the country, asking how people expect their hotel rooms to be cleaned. Hunter Biden ranted about those who are upset over illegal immigration during a lengthy sit-down interview on “Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan.” “And what we’re going to do is we’re going to send masked men to this marginalized group, and we are going to take them, put them on planes, put them on busses, put them on trains, and send them to a...

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announced that military bases would be used to temporarily house illegal aliens. The Department of Defense shared with Fox News that a section of Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, which is in New Jersey, will be one of the bases, along with Camp Atterbury, which is in Indiana. New Jersey Democrats, not surprisingly, were upset with the Defense Department’s decision to house illegals on local military bases. They claimed it would affect military preparedness, which is a little difficult to believe considering the Democrat party’s respect for the institution in the previous four years under crooked Joe...
