In addition to the tens of thousands of migrants entering the U.S. without authorization each day now, a huge 8,000-15,000-strong migrant caravan called "Exodus from Poverty" is headed to the states from southern Mexico now. They know full well that the border is open and Joe Biden is going to let them in. According to the New York Post's editorial:An estimated 8,000 people set off on Christmas Eve from the southern Mexican city of Tapachula.Destination: the border that Joe Biden threw wide open and refuses to enforce. Biden will do what he always does, blame Congress. But the failure is...

Christmas Day meant the same as any other day for thousands of migrants walking through southern Mexico: more trudging under a hot sun. There were no presents, and Christmas Eve dinner was a sandwich, a bottle of water and a banana handed out by the Catholic church to some of the migrants in the town of Álvaro Obregón, in the southern state of Chiapas, which borders Guatemala. Migrants spent Christmas night sleeping on a scrap of cardboard or plastic stretched out under an awning or tent, or the bare ground. Karla Ramírez, a migrant from Honduras who was traveling with...

A caravan of thousands of migrants traveled through Mexico en route to the US border on Sunday, stopping in the southern Mexican town of Alvaro Obregon to spend Christmas Eve. The caravan is estimated to comprise some 6,000 people, including families and young children. It is believed to be the largest since June 2022. The group of migrants mostly hailed from Central American and Caribbean countries. On Sunday, they had walked 15 kilometers (over 9 miles) from Mexico's southern border city of Tapachula. They plan to resume their journey at around 4 a.m. the next day. The caravan casts doubts...

President Joe Biden is demoting critical border negotiations with Republicans to, instead, conduct emergency border negotiations with Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador. The diplomatic switch comes as Biden’s flood of several million illegal migrants is further damaging his 2024 poll ratings, and as GOP leaders are using their Senate clout to demand real border reforms. “Everything revolves around getting the Mexican government to do targeted operations” against the cartels’ migration business, one U.S. official told the Washington Post.

President Biden spoke Thursday with Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, with the two men discussing efforts to reopen ports of entry along the U.S.-Mexico border. The conversation focused on migration issues as lawmakers in the United States are working to clinch a deal on border policy. Biden and López Obrador “agreed that additional enforcement actions are urgently needed so that key ports of entry can be reopened across our shared border,” according to a White House readout of the call.

President Biden is dispatching his senior officials to Mexico in the coming days for direct talks on efforts to curb mass migration at the U.S. border, the White House said Thursday. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas and White House homeland security adviser Elizabeth Sherwood-Randall will meet with Mexico’s president and his team “to discuss further actions that can be taken together to address current border challenges,” said White House national security spokesperson John Kirby. The trip by Biden’s top homeland and foreign policy officials follows the president speaking with Mexican President Andrés Manuel López...

Why isn’t the U.S. doing more to secure our borders? Ed Calderon spent 12 years policing the most violent drug cartels. PragerU CEO Marissa Streit questions him about his experience in Mexico, his concern over America’s open borders, and how our enemies are working with criminal organizations to destabilize the United States. Ed says we have a moral obligation to warn our citizens of imminent danger.

The headline is the non-pretending reality. Now that Joe Biden has designated EPA mandates for U.S. automobiles that include having at least 50% of all new vehicle sales be electric by 2030 {LINK}, three major Chinese EV manufacturers are reportedly building manufacturing facilities in Mexico.

@BasedMikeLee Like and share if you DO NOT want Congress to give Joe Biden $106 billion (mostly for Ukraine) in exchange for Biden’s commitment to approve stronger border-security laws.

The opening of a new Marie Stopes International (MSI) abortion facility in Cancún, Mexico, reveals what may be a new strategy for the abortion industry: “abortion tourism,” in which women are lured by the idea of a luxury vacation while their preborn child is killed. A recent article in Mother Jones refers to this tourism with the euphemistic phrase, “reproductive health migration,” detailing the price breakdown for a woman traveling from Mississippi to Cancún for an abortion. Estimations place the cost, which includes three nights at a three-star hotel, at around $700. The article points out that while this cost...

An illegal alien who crossed the Southern border into the United States declared his love for President Joe Biden. “I love you Joe Biden, thank you for everything, Joe Biden,” the man, who is of Morrocan origin, told Fox News. “I’m a good person. I wanna be a good person here in the United States,” the man continued. Watch.......VIDEO AT LINK............ The man also claimed he had been beaten in the face by ‘African people’ while making the journey. “The African people hit me, and the police also hit me,” he claimed. He also added they wanted to take him...

Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, says Republicans want the border "closed" as part of a potential congressional agreement for additional emergency spending requested by the White House and criticized "clueless" Democrats who want to negotiate border provisions. "Dems want $106B—GOP wants a closed border. That’s the trade. But clueless Dems want to negotiate the border bill. Not going to happen," Romney said on X, formerly Twitter. "Is an open border more important to Dems than Ukraine and Israel?"

Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell says he is urging his colleagues to vote "no" on the motion to proceed to a shell bill for the Ukraine supplemental aid request until there are "meaningful" changes to the legislation to address the crisis on the border.

A former American diplomat who served as a U.S. ambassador to Bolivia has been arrested and accused of secretly serving as an agent of Cuba’s government, according to The Associated Press. Officials say Manuel Rocha, 73, was arrested in Miami on Friday on a criminal complaint. According to sources, more details about the case are expected to be made public at a court appearance Monday. One of the two people who came forward with the complaint said the Justice Department case accuses Rocha of working to promote the Cuban government’s interests.

It is déjà vu for major oil producers, who are again considering steeper production cuts. It took only a month after the Hamas attacks on Israel unleashed a punishing war for oil prices to fall below their pre-Oct. 7 level. The steep drop in oil prices last week, with Brent crude briefly dropping to $77 per barrel, led to speculation that the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and allied producers (OPEC+) will decide to cut production at its next meeting. OPEC’s last-minute decision to delay the meeting, now scheduled for Nov. 30, will only add to the speculation. U.S....

President Biden thanked his Mexican counterpart, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, after the arrest of suspected cartel security chief Néstor Isidro Pérez Salas. In a Thursday statement, Biden said Salas, who was one of the most wanted criminals in both countries, was indicted by the U.S. for his “roles in perpetrating violence and illicit fentanyl trafficking” into the country, adding that both countries “are safer with him behind bars and facing justice for his crimes.”

The U.S. just instantly shut down multiple entries from the Canadian border. Very easy to do. No great effort was required.Source: https://nbcnews.com/news/us-news/rainbow-bridge-niagara-falls-closed-explosion-vehicle-reportedly-enter-rcna126397I wonder why they never do that with the Mexican border.

Mexican far-left President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) claimed on Tuesday that the election of libertarian economist Javier Milei as president of Argentina was an “own goal” for the South American nation. “To put it in a word, with all due respect, it was an own-goal. And I do not agree, although I respect the decision of the people, with right-wing governments,” López Obrador said on Tuesday during a press conference. “I do not agree with classist, racist governments. I do not agree with the hypocrisy that characterizes the right wing in the world.” López Obrador did not clarify if...

Mexico's first non-binary magistrate has been found dead alongside their partner in a suspected murder-suicide. Jesús Ociel Baena Saucedo was found dead at home in the central state of Aguascalientes in the early hours of Monday morning, alongside their romantic partner, Dorian Nieve. The pair lived together, according to authorities in Aguascalientes. The cause of death is currently unknown, Mexico’s security minister Rosa Icela Rodríguez said, but prosecutors said forensic evidence suggested Baena was killed by Nieve in a murder-suicide. Aguascalientes chief prosecutor Jesus Figueroa told Radio Formula that Baena was found with 20 lacerations from a shaving razor, including...

Joe Biden had only one event scheduled on Tuesday -- to discuss the "progress" his administration was making in regard to dealing with the massive fentanyl problem. As we reported earlier, part of the fentanyl problem is because Biden has failed to secure the border. He also didn't seem to understand China's involvement in the whole fentanyl process, lifting sanctions on a blacklisted forensics lab in exchange for Xi saying they would do more to track the flow of chemicals for fentanyl. As Rep. Wesley Hunt (R-TX) said, that was a bit like "thanking the arsonist." But Biden also made...
