Rep. Maria Salazar (R-FL) lectured Americans while in Davos, Switzerland, for the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting, urging them to accept amnesty for the nation’s 11 to 22 million illegal aliens. During a panel discussion alongside Sens. Joe Manchin (D-WV), Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ), and others, Salazar said some form of amnesty is necessary for illegal aliens living across the United States.

Joe Biden is in Mexico meeting with the President of Mexico Andrés Manuel López Obrador and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. He delivered some remarks with the two other leaders on Tuesday. I reported earlier on what Biden said about the classified documents in his office at the Penn Biden Center. But he also made remarks about illegal immigration and the problem at our Southern border. First, AMLO gave him a left-handed compliment, but I’m not sure that Biden is bright enough to pick up on what the Mexican President was truly saying. ... “You, President Biden, you are the...

Angus King (I-ME) says Congress ought to pass a legislative package that expands legal immigration levels to fill unfilled United States jobs with foreign workers rather than pulling jobless Americans off the labor market sidelines. In an interview with CBS News, King said such a package should include border-related reforms, an amnesty for millions of illegal aliens, and an expansion of the nation’s legal immigration levels. which already bring more than a million green card holders to the U.S. annually in addition to more than a million foreign visa workers to take American jobs.

Governor Abbott hand-delivered a letter to Joe Biden when he landed in El Paso on Sunday. In the letter, Abbott included five steps for Biden to take to secure the US-Mexico border. All five of the demands are common sense steps to achieve the goal of drastically slowing the flood of illegal migrants into Texas. Will Biden even bother to look at the list? If Biden’s performance in office during his first two years is any indication, Biden will brush off the five steps, thinking his way is best. To admit that he must change course and implement different strategies...

President Biden plans to visit the southern border during the North American Leaders Summit in Mexico City next week — something that Biden has been resistant to during his presidency — but when asked why he finally decided now is the right time for a visit, Biden blamed the Republicans. “Mr. President, why did you decide that now is finally the right time to visit the southern border? Republicans have been calling on you to do this since the beginning of your presidency,” a reporter asked Thursday after the president’s remarks on border security and enforcement. Biden (replied): “Because the...

WASHINGTON — President Biden said Wednesday he plans to make his first visit as president to the US-Mexico border next week to observe the effects of record-breaking illegal immigration. “That’s my intention,” Biden said during a trip to Kentucky when asked if he was “going to the border.” The Wall Street Journal reported earlier Wednesday, citing “people familiar with the discussions,” that “the White House [was] strongly considering adding a visit” when Biden travels to Mexico City on Monday and Tuesday for meetings with the leaders of Canada and Mexico. The visit is meant to help head off criticism of...

New York Mayor Eric Adams has accused Colorado's Democrat governor of launching an 'unfair' plan to send an influx of migrants to the Big Apple. Jared Polis, Colorado's Dem governor, called the NYC mayor on Monday night to inform him large numbers of migrants would be transported to the city. Adams publicly criticized the plan on Tuesday morning and insisted New York has taken its fair share of migrants, adding: 'There's no more room at the inn.'

Former Trump White House chief strategist Steve Bannon railed against Governor Greg Abbott on Thursday, calling the Texas Republican "gutless" for busing migrants to Washington, D.C., in below-freezing temperatures on Christmas Eve. Abbott has come under fire in recent months over the Lone Star State's practice of redirecting asylum-seekers and undocumented immigrants to cities run by Democrats. Liberals have long blasted the move as a "cruel" act of political theater, but the governor is now receiving criticism from some within his own party. Bannon, a longtime ally of former President Donald Trump, slammed Abbott on Thursday in a post on...

A group of migrants were caught trying to break into a woman's Texas ranch house before getting into her neighbor's home just 50 miles over the US-Mexico border. Shocking security footage shared by Fox News' Bill Melugin shows the moment the group of immigrants began kicking at the door of the home in Edwards County. As members of the group try to pry open the windows, to no avail, one of them grabs what appears to be a 2x4 plank of wood and starts banging it against the door.
