There’s a reason the Biden Administration refuses to secure the U.S.-Mexico border despite its immigration policies destroying America— and that reason holds a lot of weight for the president in the 2024 presidential election. Illegal immigrants making their way through Mexico to the southern border say they want “[President Joe] Biden to win” in November, fearing former President Donald Trump will squash their dreams of making it into the U.S. And they’re right. “If it’s Trump, it doesn’t matter how much I work or want to work. They won’t let me in,” one illegal immigrant told The Free Press. Thousands...

As you’ve probably caught wind of, Joe Biden’s border disaster is really putting America through the wringer. It’s not just the border towns feeling the heat anymore. With Biden’s border invasion cranking up, the ripple effects are hitting every corner of the United States, touching more than just the working and middle classes. Now, even the upper crust of American society is starting to squirm as some fresh “gang” creativity shows up at their doorstep. Trump’s been saying (and getting slammed for it) that we’re not exactly getting the cream of the crop. It’s like some places are just clearing...

Apparently, he thinks it is America’s fault that millions of Latin Americans are fleeing...

Is there anything an illegal migrant can do that will get him thrown in jail? Not to an El Paso judge, who just released a group of migrants who last March 21 ripped away razor wire fencing to storm the U.S. border, literally invading the U.S. the way pirates or burglars do, 'on their own recognizance.' Along the way, they tore down U.S. razor-wire fencing barriers and assaulted U.S. National Guard members. But none of that was good enough to insist that they remain detained. According to the Daily Wire:On Easter Sunday a magistrate judge in El Paso, Texas, ordered...

Is there anything Joe Biden can't do?Get a load of what he funded in his latest bloated budget spending bill passed last week, according to Breitbart News, which opened the hood of that jalopy:Slipped into a $1.2 trillion budget signed by Biden last weekend is about $380 million for “enhanced border security” projects in Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Oman, and Tunisia — about $150 million of which must go to border security in Jordan.Meanwhile, the budget puts strict limitations on the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) ability to construct physical barriers along the U.S.-Mexico border to deter illegal immigration.“The Biden administration...

A massive government-funded caravan is moving through Mexico where they will travel by bus to the United States. The Migrant Way of the Cross is currently making its way to the U.S. with more than 2,000 illegal immigrants with the help of government officials and NGOs.

As the group made their way through Mexico, Mexican police officers escorted them alongside the road and controlled traffic. The Mexican National Migration Institute...

The following interview with an Iranian man coming illegally to the United States should serve as a cautionary tale. The Iranian man began the interview by looking around at all the illegal immigrants coming at the same time from China, India, and elsewhere, and warned of the danger. “I would be afraid because all of these people in China and India militaries, even myself, I’m a military, and there’s a question is coming up in here…” He said it was a “scary question.” If there was an incident between the US and China in Taiwan, what would these people do?...

It's a good idea to wash carrots after they're pulled from the ground because they might have some dirt on them. They don't typically come with more than a ton of methamphetamine, but you can never be too careful. A 44-year-old truck driver is in federal custody after he allegedly tried to cross into the U.S. from Mexico at the Otay Mesa border checkpoint in San Diego with roughly 3,000 pounds of meth hidden amid a large shipment of carrots. The driver arrived in a commercial tractor trailer just before noon on March 17 with a valid border crossing card...

Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador warned on Sunday during an interview with "60 Minutes" that unless the United States complies with Latin America’s requests for aid, the tide of migrants will continue.

Mexico has signed an agreement with Venezuela to deport migrants and reached deals with Mexican and Venezuelan companies to employ them, Foreign Minister Alicia Barcena told a news conference on Thursday. Venezuelans have been among the largest groups of migrants arriving in Mexico on their way to the United States, as they seek to flee their country's political and economic crisis.
