A San Diego migrant center announced it will be forced to close its doors Thursday after running out of funds to assist the overwhelming number of asylum-seekers who have illegally crossed into the county. The mayor of nearby El Cajon, Calif., told Fox News Thursday that he fears the welcome center’s closure will quickly become a “serious problem” for his community. “Over the past few months, we’ve seen 100,000 migrants come across the San Diego border,” Mayor Bill Wells told “Fox & Friends First.” “A lot of those have been absorbed by this county shelter that used taxpayer money. They...

State records show that Massachusetts is spending about $64 per migrant per day to feed those in state care, a cost that is contributing to the expected one billion dollars in expenses to be spent by the Bay State by 2025. The latest numbers show that the state is paying out $16 for breakfast, $17 for lunch, and a whopping $31 for every dinner every day, according to WBZ-TV. All of this is an commercial for Donald Trump at this point. Illegal immigrants are living good while taxpayers have to get up at 6:30 in the morning to go jobs...

A plan by President Joe Biden, called an “extortion attempt,” would shield more criminal illegal aliens from deportation as data shows his Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has drastically cut interior immigration enforcement. Biden’s White House is threatening to cut deportations of even the most violent illegal alien convicts unless Congress approves billions in funding that passes through DHS before getting handed to non-governmental organizations (NGOs) helping facilitate illegal immigration. RJ Hauman, president of the National Immigration Center for Enforcement (NICE), told Breitbart News that the threat from Biden is echoed by the establishment media with claims that DHS needs...

During an interview aired on Friday’s broadcast of NPR’s “Morning Edition,” Denver Mayor Mike Johnston responded to a question on Denver residents who are frustrated that the city is cutting services due to budget shortfalls caused by the influx of migrants in the city by stating that “The dilemma is when you have values on both sides and you have to manage those values. We have a value of being a welcoming, compassionate city.” And there are some cuts to migrant services. Johnston said, “We’ve asked every agency in the city to take a look at what they could do...

Two New York state Democrats are taking aim at Mayor Eric Adams’ limits on how long migrants can stay in city shelters. Manhattan state Sen. Brad Hoylman-Sigal and Queens Assemblymember Catalina Cruz introduced legislation to scrap the “cruel” city-imposed caps on shelter stays. “The current shelter time limit policies are not only inhumane but counterproductive, thrusting families into further uncertainty and distress,” Cruz said in a statement Monday. Under current Adams administration policy, single adults residing at city-run shelters must reapply for permission to stay every 30 days. Families must reapply every 60 days.

As new curfews loom for migrant shelters across the city over concerns about crime and chaos, neighbors and migrants alike remain unsure what changes the new policies will bring about — and whether they’re needed at all. “I feel that the issue of violence is not going to stop,” said Colombia Maribel Lopez, a Venezuelan who’s been living in the Big Apple with her kids for six months. “What we need are more personnel to address the problem. But I don’t think the curfew will stop anything,” she told The Post.

CHICAGO (CBS) -- New data shine a light on just how much Chicago has been spending to support the migrant mission so far. Just over 13,000 asylum seekers are living in city shelters – and city officials said they are preparing for a spike. But it not clear how the city would pay for such a spike. If it feels confusing tracking the spending – the amount of money the city has spent, the amount the state has given, and how much the federal government has contributed – that is because it is, in fact, confusing

The arrests come on the heels of a Monday bust that locked up two other migrant men allegedly involved in a separate thieves’ ring that’s been stealing people’s cellphones right out of their hands, then hacking the devices and...

As President Joe Biden throws up his hands and claims the ongoing catastrophe at the border is the work of Republicans, polling continues to show the issue of illegal immigration could sink his re-election chances. This is particularly true in the 2024 race against former President Donald Trump, who has been telling the truth about the issue since 2015 and implemented a number of executive orders to blunt the problem. But what Biden doesn't want to acknowledge is the true cost of illegal immigration, and currently, Democratic mayors are telling him all about it — while also bizarrely blaming border...

An Illinois suburb decided against moving forward with a plan to have residents house migrants in their homes following a councilman’s viral proposal to put together a "sign-up" sheet.

On Thursday, city staff decided it was not necessary for Naperville residents to sign up as other state and federal agencies were making lists of shelters for migrants in need of housing, WLS-TV reported.

The greatest collapse of a mighty state, a large human society and a fruitful civilization of which we possess a reasonably accurate record, has been immortalized by Edward Gibbon’s historical classic, The Decline and Fall of The Roman Empire. Henry Adams remarked that Gibbon did not really explain the fall; but this criticism is not altogether just. As the following excerpts from The Decline and Fall show, the philosophic historian offered a number of reflections on the symptoms and causes of the drama which he set out to describe: "This long peace and the uniform government of the Romans introduced...
