Former President Donald Trump took to social media Monday morning to attack Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro and his automatic voter registration initiative as a threat to Republican candidates. “Pennsylvania is at it again! The Radical Left Governor, Josh Shapiro has just announced a switch to automatic voter registration, a disaster for the Election of Republicans, including your favorite president, ME! Trump posted on his social media platform Truth Social. “The former president’s obsession with spreading lies about our elections is dangerous — and that’s why Governor Shapiro defeated him and his enablers over 40 times in court as Attorney General...

Former President Donald Trump on Wednesday promised to carry out “the largest domestic deportation operation in American history” in the pattern of the Eisenhower model, making the vow during a speech in Dubuque, Iowa.Trump delivered remarks on securing the border and stopping illegal immigration in the country.“One of the most important issues in this campaign is ending the nation-wrecking catastrophe on our southern border,” Trump’s prepared remarks read.“Under my leadership, we had the most secure border in U.S. history. Now, we have the worst border in the history of the world,” they continue, deeming the current immigration crisis as an...

In January 2023, actor, comedian, and filmmaker Louis C.K. appeared on the Spotify podcast The Joe Rogan Experience, where he talked about opening borders around the USA and letting in more immigrants. Now, eight months later, his comments have resurfaced on the internet, following which he has come under fire. C.K. said that Americans prioritize their own safety and security way too much and slammed them for the same. "My feeling is they should open it, the border, let everybody pour in, and then the answer which is ‘well then there will be all these problems.' Yes, there should be....

A federal judge for the second time found the DACA program unlawful, but held back from ordering the deportation of the nearly 600,000 people who remain in the country as “Dreamers.” The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, first crafted with a 2012 memo under the Obama administration, was likewise found unlawful by federal District Court Judge Andrew Hanen in a similar ruling in 2021. “While sympathetic to the predicament of DACA recipients and their families, this Court has expressed its concerns about the legality of the program for some time,” Hanen wrote in the 40-page ruling. “The solution for...

The Means: Why do Democrats want open borders? The answer is straightforward, POWER! It’s simple really, more people necessitates a ‘need’ for more government. The current migrant caravan story is just the latest example. We’ve been in an illegal immigration crisis for decades, with tens of millions of people entering the country illegally. So follow with me now – more people, more government. And what’s the point of an open border? To invite illegal immigration. And who are illegal immigrants? Of necessity, they are typically people who have very little. They probably don’t speak the language. They don’t have jobs...

On Thursday’s broadcast of Newsmax TV’s “Rob Schmitt Tonight,” New York City Councilman Robert Holden (D) stated that President Joe Biden’s “open border” policy is the “how to destroy U.S. cities” in a single term playbook and stated that he thinks the Biden administration has let as many people into the country as they have and sent them all over the country because “they see future voters.” Holden said, “I want a secure border, but, unfortunately, under President Biden, it’s an open border. And, again, it’s, how many are we going to take before it’s over here? This is Joe...

New York City Health Commissioner Ashwin Vasan announced that illegal immigration has been ushering a new wave of tuberculosis and polio to the city. In a citywide letter to physicians and healthcare administrators last week, Vasan said that the more than 50,000 illegal immigrants that have come to New York City since last year caused a spike in contagious diseases like tuberculosis and polio. “Many people who recently arrived in NYC have lived in or traveled through countries with high rates of TB,” he wrote, as reported by the New York Post. Tuberculosis can be cured with antibiotics and generally...

Europe and the West have a death wish. The Left, seeking power and the corporate leaders seeking cheap labor, are well along in their project of destroying us. All aided by touchy feely liberals laden with guilt and blind to the obvious. The voter support for this madness has overwhelmingly comes from women, who are vastly overrepresented in all three groups.The destruction of western civilization through deliberately promoted mass immigration of unassimilable, low IQ, violent, backward masses is the left/corporate leader/liberal/women’s greatest crime, among many, against their own culture and people. Possibly the greatest internal crime in the history of...

Ron DeSantis appointed the radically pro-lockdown, Never-Trump Democrat, Dave Kerner as Interim Executive Director of Florida’s Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles in January this year, ignoring a petition by more than one thousand Floridians who opposed the appointment on the grounds that his policies contravened freedom in the sunshine state, The National Pulse can reveal.Kerner, 39, is a former Democratic Member of the Florida House of Representatives with a radical legislative record, including voting to force churches to perform same-sex marriage ceremonies, voting against a bill to ban Floridian taxpayer money from funding abortions, voting against a bill to allow...

No matter how many crimes occur in Chicago every day – carjackings, muggings, drug deals, political corruption – these rarely make the news, other than in reports of crime statistics. We hear numbers; we rarely learn the victims’ names. There are just too many of them. It’s the rarest of crimes – the incidents of severe police misconduct - that make the news. And the news of the day is a particularly disturbing story. The story broke on Thursday, July 6 that at least one Chicago police officer was being investigated for having sexual contact with illegal aliens (the press...

A George Soros-backed immigration charity that pushes for open borders is being accused by a conservative watchdog in an IRS complaint of unlawfully failing to disclose how it lobbied Congress. Alianza Americas may have violated federal law in recent years by claiming on tax forms it had not lobbied despite engaging in activities that seemingly constitute formal advocacy, attorneys specializing in charity law say. Now the National Legal and Policy Center, a conservative watchdog, is calling on the IRS to "conduct a full investigation and audit" into the Chicago group's apparent 2021 lobbying, as well as impose fines and revoke...

Look, I'm a fan of Michael Medved. But it's frustrating how -- in my opinion -- he dances away from illegal immigration issues. Today, for example, he was asking callers who disagree with Iraq policy to suggest alternative ways to fighting terrorism. One guy called in and said, "close the borders" or "police the borders," or something like that. Medved became very agitated and impatient, and essentially said this would be an irrelevant response to the terror threat. Now, no matter what your position on Iraq, how is policing the borders irrelevent to fighting terror? True, only a minority of...

Eagle Pass, TX – A controversial video has gone viral that shows a U.S. Border Patrol agent cutting the razor wire fence installed by the state of Texas to let illegal immigrants cross the border into the United States (video below). The Texas Department of Public Safety (TDPS), who put in the security fences on private property with the permission of the owners, said this is the first time their agency was aware of something like this happening, FOX News reported. The state agency said it has permission from the property owners to arrest any illegal immigrants found there. The...

Republican presidential candidate and former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson (R) said on this week’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday” that the government should not interfere with parents’ decisions on hormone treatments for transgender children Anchor Shannon Bream said, “Let’s talk about another hot-button issue, transitions for patients and people under the age of 18. People have argued that your position is not truly conservative. You vetoed a bill that would have prohibited hormone treatment or puberty blockers for people under the age of 18.”

Authorities in Mexico have confirmed the remains found in 45 plastic bags near Guadalajara belong to as many as eight call center employees, who were reported missing in May, according to CBS. Six men and two women were reported missing by their families between May 20 and May 22. While their families believed their loved ones worked at a typical call center, the facility was reportedly one of 19 in Mexico under investigation by the United States Department of the Treasury for possible links to the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG). “CJNG’s deep involvement in timeshare fraud in the Puerto...

A Texas sheriff’s office has recommended that a San Antonio-area district attorney file criminal charges following an investigation into the transportation in the fall of 49 asylum seekers from Texas to Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts, allegedly on direction from Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R). It is not clear whom the charges would be filed against, but the case would include both felony and misdemeanor charges of unlawful restraint, according to the sheriff’s office. “At this time, the case is being reviewed by the DA’s office. Once an update is available, it will be provided to the public,” said Bexar County...

MS-13 gang members commit savage crimes -- beheading their targets with machetes, hacking off their hands, burning them to death, dismembering them. Demonic acts. If you think these crimes won't happen where you live, keep reading. The gang's rule is "kill, rape, control." Members are required to kill. MS-13 brings terror to neighborhoods and even schoolyards. In the New York City area, MS-13 has been linked to more than 65 murders since 2009. President Joe Biden could care less. El Salvador President Nayib Bukele is cracking down, jailing tens of thousands of suspected gang members and causing others to flee...

Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody won another round against the Biden administration in federal court, this time in the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals. On Monday, the court ruled to keep in place an injunction against the Department of Homeland Security’s parole program. The injunction was issued by a federal district judge in Florida last month. DHS appealed the judge’s ruling and lost. On May 8, U.S. District Judge T. Kent Wetherell of the Northern District of Florida Pensacola Division vacated DHS’s “Policy on the Use of Parole Plus Alternatives to Detention to Decompress Border Locations.” On May 16, he...

The Fiscal Burden of Illegal Immigration on United States Taxpayers - 2023 Cost StudyKey HighlightsAt the start of 2023, the net cost of illegal immigration for the United States – at the federal, state, and local levels – was at least $150.7 billion.
