The Biden administration, desperate to mute headlines about record illegal immigrant crossings, has secretly started a new system to let in potential lawbreakers that also puts them on a fast track to legal status. The program amounts to an amnesty ticket and preselects some of those caught up in Mexico’s immigration controls. Word of the program has spread like wildfire, swamping border camps involved in the program, according to a report by immigration expert Todd Bensman with the Center for Immigration Studies. In his report, shared with Secrets Monday, Bensman said, “Thousands are hearing about this new legal way in...

The Biden administration weaponizes the FBI against Israel As in the Dreyfus affair, there are no Jewish criminals here, and everyone knows it. The Biden administration has ordered the FBI probe into Shireen Abu Akleh’s death because it wants a crisis with Israel. Nov 16, 2022 The Biden administration is feeding Israel to the wolves. That is the only reasonable way to understand Channel 14’s bombshell report on Sunday that the FBI has opened an investigation of IDF soldiers in relation to the death of Al Jazeera reporter Shireen Abu Akleh. Abu Akleh died on May 11 in Jenin while...

Final fiscal year 2022 numbers show Border Patrol apprehended a whopping 98 watch-listed terrorists at the southern border, six times the record 15 caught there in 2021 (three were caught in 2020 and none in 2019). That’s also five times the number it took to carry out the 9/11 attacks that took America to war in overseas theaters for 20 years. For even more perspective, my 2021 book America’s Covert Border War: The Untold Story of the Nation’s Battle to Prevent Jihadist Infiltration, quoted intelligence officials saying that American authorities caught about 100 on the FBI watch list between 2012...

Just weeks after declaring the pandemic "over," President Joe Biden has returned to calling COVID-19 a "global health emergency."

GUATEMALA CITY, Guatemala — Guatemalan President Alejandro Giammattei said the Biden administration refused to provide Guatemala with the tools to deport illegal migrants heading to the U.S., in an exclusive interview with the Daily Caller News Foundation from his presidential palace. Giammattei told the DCNF that he’d requested that the Biden administration move its deportation planes and buses to Guatemala for the country to use in returning illegal migrants to their home countries before they reach the U.S. He said it would save the Biden administration hefty costs of such large migration waves and allow migrants from far away places...

CUELLAR: You know, first of all, no, the border is not secure. When you have 1.7 million individuals last year, and now another 2.7, that's over 4.5 million individuals encounter at the border, plus the - if you add the getaways, that's going to be over 5 million individuals in just two years. No, the border is secure - it's not secured and we've got to make sure that we have repercussions there.

The Biden administration this week opened the path to citizenship for immigrants with mental disabilities so great that they can’t learn basic English or pass a U.S. civics test. The changes are raising new questions that enemies of the nation may claim mental disabilities to skirt requirements to swear loyalty to the United States or demonstrate they have good moral character. “It’s one thing to promote policies that encourage naturalization and make it accessible, but these new rules cross the line, diluting the requirements in a way that potentially will lead to abuse of the system,” said Jessica Vaughan, director...

Majority of Americans blame Biden for surging inflation And 8 of 10 say the problem is their top issue this election A report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics on Thursday confirmed that inflation now is at 8.2%, higher than economists had predicted, and an assurance of pain for most American families whose incomes are not rising that quickly. It's the top election issue for 8 out of 10 voters, and a significant majority say the fault rests with Joe Biden. Washington Examiner columnist Paul Bedard cited a new Rasmussen Reports survey that said 60% of respondents say Biden is...

TUCSON, Ariz. – U.S. Border Patrol agents rescued nine migrants and arrested four smugglers during a traffic stop near Nogales, Arizona, early Saturday. Tucson Sector agents conducted a vehicle stop on a Freightliner semitruck pulling a cattle trailer around 1 a.m. After receiving permission to inspect the trailer, agents discovered nine migrants in an enclosed space hidden beneath a false floor. The migrants had no means of escape.

The Border Patrol has nabbed 78 people on a terrorist watch list so far this fiscal year, according to new Department of Homeland Security data. Twelve were caught in August alone, the second highest monthly total since numbers began to be released earlier this year. The new numbers represent a sharp increase as the Biden administration faces growing pressure to tighten security at the border: Just 15 suspected terrorists were caught in all of the fiscal year 2021, and just 11 were caught in total from 2017 to 2020. Counterintuitively, catching more of those on the watch list is bad...

Still more evidence that the FBI is corrupt, politicized, and in dire need of top-to-bottom reform, if not a total shutdown, came on Thursday. The Delaware computer repairman to whom Hunter Biden brought his now-infamous laptop for repair and then forgot about it revealed that an FBI agent who came to speak with him left him with an ominous threat to be quiet about Hunter’s indiscretions and worse — or else.

The price of food at home rose 1.3% from June to July, marking a 13.1% increase compared to last year. It was the largest price increase for groceries since 1979, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Food, however, rose by 1.1% on the month and 10.9% this year. It was the seventh consecutive month where the price rose by 0.9% and above. Dining out rose by 0.7% in July on the month and 7.6% compared to last year. Among groceries, egg prices had the biggest increase. Their cost rose by 4.3% in the month of July, and 38%...

VIDEOJimmy Dore might be a leftist but at least he is an HONEST leftist in stark contrast to that political chameleon grifter Joe Scarborough. Watch how Scarborough pretends there was nothing political about the raid on President Trump's Mar-a-Lago versus Dore seeing EXACTLY what this is REALLY about, namely a blatantly political maneuver to keep Trump from running in 2024.

The president has two faces. Here's one paragraph My support for Israel’s security is long-standing and unwavering—including its right to defend itself against attacks. Over these recent days, Israel has defended its people from indiscriminate rocket attacks launched by the terrorist group Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and the United States is proud of our support for Israel’s Iron-Dome, which intercepted hundreds of rockets and saved countless lives. I commend Prime Minister Yair Lapid and his government’s steady leadership throughout the crisis. Here's the next one The reports of civilian casualties in Gaza are a tragedy, whether by Israeli strikes against Islamic...

BIDEN: "The reason why gas prices are up, is because of Russia—Russia, Russia, Russia. The reason why the food crisis exists, is because of Russia, Russia..." pic.twitter.com/8F0y0rKbPn— Breaking911 (@Breaking911) June 30, 2022

The US State Department once again is resuscitating the idea of reopening a Jerusalem consulate. But according to Al-Arabiya, the US is committed to the reopening of the US consulate in Jerusalem. Ned Price, the State Department spokesman told reporters last Tuesday that, “We continue to believe it can be an important way for our country to engage with and provide support for the Palestinian people.” If that is to happen, the Biden administration will be responsible for rewarding the Palestinians for their intransigence and terror, as well as undermining Israel’s sovereignty over a united Jerusalem. The Bennett government...

Nearly two years after Seattle led the way in defunding the police, the Washington city’s force is so understaffed it did not assign a detective to investigate a single case of a sex assault on an adult last month, according to a report. The depleted department now only has four detectives in the squad handling sex assaults, nearly all dedicated to child abuse cases, local NPR station KUOW revealed.

There were recently horrible mass shootings in Sacramento, California, and Dallas, Texas. Immediately, there were hysterical cries about “gun controls” and the need to put further limits on Second Amendment rights. There have been too many senseless shootings at the hands of people using firearms. The use of weapons, however, is not the problem. The problem very often is the use of firearms by those not in legal possession of those firearms. The shooters responsible for taking so many innocent lives are virtually never NRA members or legal gun owners. The overwhelming majority of killers are manifestly criminals with a...
