Have you heard the news? President Senile Kid-Sniffer issued an executive order on the border, action meant to seal the border when the number of illegal aliens (that’s what they are, not “migrants,” so stop using the language of the left) reaches an arbitrary total. Of course, what counts in that total is completely at the discretion of the President, thereby making it meaningless. But that’s the point, and other liberals are playing their role in this kabuki theater perfectly. You have to be a special kind of stupid to think Joe Biden, or any Democrat for that matter, would...

Democrats in the California State legislature are getting pushback for a proposal that could benefit illegal aliens. The assembly bill could direct the University of California (UC) system to hire illegal immigrants for taxpayer-funded state jobs. Reform California Chairman Carl DeMaio is heaping heavy criticism on the lawmakers, Fox News reported Tuesday. According to the California Globe, California has 44,000 undocumented college students, and approximately 4,000 of them are enrolled in UC’s system, the outlet reported Wednesday.

President Joe Biden announced an executive order this week that he claims will “help us to gain control of our border, restore order to the process” by banning migrants from seeking asylum if they cross the border illegally. At first glance, this seems like a welcome move to reduce a major pull factor for illegal crossings, even if it flies in the face of Biden’s claim in January that he had “done all I can do” on the border. As always, though, the devil is in the details. First, the limitations on asylum seekers only kick in once illegal crossings...

California owes the federal government tens of millions of dollars for incorrectly claiming medical care reimbursements for noncitizens, a federal audit found. The Golden State must repay nearly $53 million to the federal government after it “improperly” claimed reimbursements from the Medicaid program for illegal immigrants and other noncitizens, according to a recent report by the Office of the Inspector General at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The findings emerge as California grapples with a massive budget deficit in the tens of billions of dollars. ... The issue surrounds how California officials calculated federal reimbursements for noncitizen...

Many illegal migrants will voluntarily flee to Canada if President Donald Trump is re-elected, a Democrat-appointed ambassador told an elite Canadian audience in Ottowa. “These people aren’t just going to sit there and wait to be rounded up,” former U.S. ambassador to Canada Bruce Heyman told a national security conference on June 3, according to Canada’s National Post. Heyman is a former top executive at the Goldman Sachs investment firm and a fundraiser for Democrats. He was appointed to the ambassador job by President Barack Obama. “What would a second Donald Trump presidency mean for Canada?” columnist Tasha Kheiriddin wrote:...

The GOP-controlled Arizona Legislature on Tuesday approved a proposal to ask voters to weigh in on a ballot measure this fall to make it a state crime for noncitizens to enter the state through Mexico at any location outside of a port of entry. The Arizona measure, approved by the state House on a 31-29 vote, would allow state and local police to arrest people crossing the border without authorization. State judges would also have the power to order people convicted of unauthorized border crossing to return to their countries of origin. The state House voted along party lines, with...

After nearly four years of doing nothing to stem the border invasion his policies welcomed, Biden signed an executive order Tuesday directly contradicting his false claim that he did not have the constitutional authority to mitigate the record numbers of illegal border crossings.The executive order will reportedly halt asylum claims temporarily “once the average number of daily encounters hits 2,500 between ports of entry, with the border reopening only once that number declines to 1,500,” according to The Associated Press.However, when Univision anchor Enrique Acevedo pressed Biden earlier this year about whether he could use his executive authority to close...

A whopping 20 percent of hotels in New York City have now been converted into migrant shelters as prices for the remaining hotels soar due to demand. Due to the massive influx of migrants, some 16,000 former hotel rooms are now booked, while the room rate for actual hotels is now at an eye-watering $300 a night, the New York Post reported.

While much of the blame for America’s unprecedented border crisis falls at the feet of policies implemented by President Joe Biden, a network of government-funded, religiously-affiliated nonprofit organizations is spending massive sums of money to facilitate waves of illegal immigrants into the United States. These groups, which present as religious groups, have cemented roles in the importation of millions of migrants into the United States. They encourage migration along the Central American route that leads to the U.S. border, then offer cash, as well as legal and resettlement services, to many of the more than 10 million people who’ve attempted...

NEW: In an internal memo to ICE— The ERO Executive Associate Director says that CBP and ERO will not question illegal immigrants who cross the southern border and are processed for expedited removal while the limitation is in effect regarding their fear of return... “If a noncitizen subject to the Presidential Proclamation is processed for expedited removal and manifests fear or an intention to apply for asylum or related protection while detained in ICE custody, the noncitizen must be referred to USCIS…” One source saying, “In other words nothing has changed…”

An amendment to Albuquerque’s immigrant-friendly ordinance had city councilors debating long into Monday night’s meeting. Councilors voted 5-4 against it. Councilors Joaquín Baca, Tammy Fiebelkorn, Klarissa Peña, Nichole Rogers, and Louie Sanchez voted no. For some, the amendment — which would allow local law enforcement to cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers if someone is charged with drug or human trafficking or a violent felony — was a way to improve public safety. For others, it was a measure that could make it difficult for immigrants to report crimes and potentially affect due process. Approximately 50 people came to...

Officials within a police department in Maine warned that they have seen an “uptick” in fake social security numbers being used for driver’s licenses. Darcy Valido, the communications assistant director of operations for the Sanford Regional Communications Center within the Sanford Police Department, sent an email warning that officials had seen an increase in the Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) issuing driver’s licenses that are “using 999-99-9999” as the social security number, according to Maine Wire. “We’ve seen an uptick in DMV using 999-99-9999 for social security numbers,” Valido wrote in a May 23 email to several police departments in...

Officials in Baltimore County, Maryland, helped a convicted illegal alien sex offender evade deportation for weeks by suspending his prison sentence and setting him loose into the community, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials say. Raul Calderon-Interiano, a 25-year-old Guatemalan national, first arrived at the United States-Mexico border near Laredo, Texas, as an unaccompanied alien child (UAC) in June 2014. Calderon-Interiano was subsequently given a Notice to Appear (NTA) in federal immigration court at a later date.

President Biden is expected to sign an executive order Tuesday that would give the White House additional authority to limit the flow of migrants across the southern border, sources confirmed to The Hill. The order would allow border officials to turn away migrants at the southern border once crossings surpass a certain number, an official said. The Associated Press reported the order would shut down the border after 2,500 daily encounters, and the border would reopen once the number of encounters drops below 1,500. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Biden admin offers ‘mass amnesty’ to migrants as it quietly terminates 350,000 asylum cases: sources While the Biden administration is attempting to look like it’s getting tough on the border, behind the scenes it’s operating a program of a “mass amnesty” for migrants, The Post can reveal. Data shows that since 2022, more than 350,000 asylum cases filed by migrants have been closed by the US government if the applicants don’t have a criminal record or are otherwise not deemed a threat to the country. This means that while the migrants are not granted or denied asylum — their cases...

Just recently, the National Sheriffs Association claimed there are two million terrorists inside the USA. Please understand all it took was 2,000 terrorists on October 7th to invade Israel and murder, rape, burn, and behead 1,200 innocent souls. Can you imagine what damage and death two million terrorists could do inside the USA? That’s an army bigger than our entire combined armed forces (we have 1.3 million active-duty military). That’s an army bigger than our entire combined police force in the USA (we have 800,000 combined police officers). I’ve written many commentaries warning what they might have planned for America....

While the government and media react with outrage to a drunken chant of ‘Foreigners out – Germany for the Germans,’ by trying to destroy the young people’s lives, they remain conspicuously silent on the rising tide of deadly and sexual migrant-related crimes and violence. Germany is in a state of hysteria over a group of intoxicated young people who were recorded chanting “Foreigners out – Germany for the Germans” to a pop song on the island of Sylt. The reaction from the open borders federal government and the media has been outrageous, with top officials like Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz...

You may have missed the news, but last week an Army colonel – nice to see an Army colonel doing something besides sharing xis pronouns – at Fort Bragg, which communists now call “Fort Liberty,” caught a Chechen illegal alien lurking in his backyard taking pictures of his kids and smoked him like a fatty at a Cypress Hill concert. This colonel might have been from Delta Force, but he is definitely part of the special operations community, and you might well be wondering what some Chechen illegal alien was doing in his backyard. In fact, there were two of...

During portions of an interview with CBS News Immigration and Politics Reporter Camilo Montoya-Galvez that took place last Thursday and were released on Tuesday, DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas stated that the Biden administration has “done an extraordinary job to deal with an unprecedented level of migration,” and that the unprecedented levels of migration are due to other factors. Mayorkas responded to arguments that the Biden administration has encouraged people to come to the border by stating, “That is false.“
