On Wednesday’s broadcast of NewsNation’s “Morning in America,” White House National Security Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby stated that American cities aren’t feeling the impact of the border policies the White House says it’s working on because there are “a lot of policies here by some governors around that southern border, sending these people north in quite an inhumane fashion.”

We are learning more about the suspects wanted in several high-end burglaries across Oakland County. In some cases – hundreds of thousands of dollars in valuables are gone, and it’s believed an international crime ring is behind it all, so-called crime tourists. "If you see something, say something," said Sheriff Michael Bouchard, calling on residents to look for anything out of the ordinary. He says that transnational gangs are coming primarily from South America targeting wealthy communities in the US. Bouchard said they are casing and targeting high-end residences, grabbing cash, jewelry, watches, precious metals, high-end purses, and electronics. "We...

The nation’s illegal alien population has hit nearly 17 million, an increase of more than two million since President Joe Biden began implementing his Catch and Release network at the United States–Mexico border, an analysis reveals. The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) released its annual report estimating the size of the illegal alien population residing in the United States. Based on the latest Census Bureau data, FAIR researchers found that there are at least 16.8 million illegal aliens now living in American communities — an increase of 2.3 million illegal aliens since Biden took office in January 2021 and...

With five months left in the 2023 fiscal year, 2022’s record of 98 watch list arrests will be easily surpassed in the coming months. Border Patrol agents caught 16 people on the FBI’s terror watch list trying to illegally cross the U.S. southwest land border between entry ports in April, bringing this fiscal year’s suspected terrorist arrest total up to nearly 100. There are still five months left in the 2023 fiscal year, which means that 2022’s arrest total of 98 people on the watch list, an all-time record for the U.S., will be easily surpassed in the coming months....

Mayor Eric Adams took another shot at the White House over the ongoing migrant crisis Tuesday, implying President Biden was nowhere to be found. “Where the heck is the president of the United States?” Fox 5 “Good Day New York” co-host Rosanna Scotto asked Hizzoner during an interview. “That is a good question,” the mayor responded. “I think we all should be asking, ‘Why is this happening to a city that was turning itself around and will continue to do so?’ “This should not be happening to New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles and the other big northern cities,” Adams...

The former acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement under the Trump administration says the Biden administration’s border policies are creating a national security threat that are “almost treasonous.” Tom Homan made the claim as U.S. Customs and Border Protection Office of Field Operation agents have so far apprehended 332 known or suspected terrorists this fiscal year to date. This includes 125 caught at the southern border and 207 at the northern border. It's the unknown that keeps Homan and others in law enforcement up at night, he said. At a recent town hall event in El Paso organized by...

With just two words, the top uniformed officer in the Customs and Border Protection agency sent shockwaves across official Washington two months ago when asked whether his agency has operational control of the southern U.S. border. "No, sir," Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz told Congress in a shocking admission that exposed just how badly border security has deteriorated under President Joe Biden. At the time, illegal crossings at the border in March were averaging 5,000 a day, far more than the historical average of 2,000 daily at the end of the Trump administration. By last week, those crossing had exploded...

House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-MN) called on Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to be impeached on Friday, saying the chief border official’s “failure to act” necessitates Congress removing him from his position. Because Mayorkas has not resigned, “he should be impeached,” Emmer told Breitbart News. The Minnesota Republican, while speaking during a one-on-one interview in his Capitol Hill office Friday, delved into the heated topic of impeachment, saying the overwhelmed southern border represents the “greatest malfeasance” at the hands of President Joe Biden’s top border official. “They talk about being humane. Children are disappearing. People are getting...

Several border cities have declared states of emergency as the migrant invasion of the United States escalates. However, it’s not just border states; many of these illegal aliens are traveling to metropolitan areas leading to New York and Chicago declaring a state of emergency.[….] “Thursday night marked the end of Title 42, after more than three years of the public health order enabling the rapid expulsion of hundreds of thousands of migrants without a chance at asylum. Just before the policy ended, a Florida court temporarily blocked border officials from releasing migrants from custody without court dates. Government attorneys have...

President of National Border Patrol Council Brandon Judd warns that once Title 42 is lifted, the cartels are going to have complete control over the southern border. "Once Title 42 goes away and the explosion happens, they're going to control our entire southwest border," Judd said on the Wednesday edition of the "Just the News, No Noise" TV show. "When they do that, that's when [the cartels] are going to be able to bring in all of their products such as the fentanyl, the dangerous drugs, the criminal aliens, and the aliens from special interest countries. All of that is...

Nikki Haley, former U.N. ambassador and South Carolina governor, visited the nation’s southern border Monday, becoming the first Republican presidential candidate in the 2024 race to do so. “What I’d say to President [Joe] Biden is, ‘Shame on you,’” Haley told Fox News’ Harris Faulkner during her trip to the border. “You are putting every single American at risk,” Haley said, as if speaking to Biden. “This is a national security threat. You are allowing illegal immigrants to come across the border that are putting weight on our law enforcement, they’re hurting our families, they’re following into our schools, they’re...

Two leading House Republicans have called on President Joe Biden to increase military support to Ukraine in its defense against Russia’s invasion and reiterated support on both sides of the aisle for continuing to fund the Ukrainian war effort. Texas Rep. Mike McCaul, the chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, told CNN’s Pamela Brown on “State of the Union” in a joint interview with House Intelligence Chairman Mike Turner that aired Sunday that bipartisan support for Ukraine is “still very strong.” But as the one-year anniversary of the war approaches, McCaul warned that hedging support for Ukraine could prolong...

We at PJ Media have long reported on the disastrous Biden Border Crisis that allows large groups of illegal aliens to stream into the country by the hundreds and thousands. But worse than the sheer numbers, we now know for certain many illegal aliens who have long criminal records in other countries are entering the United States’ southern border virtually undetected thanks to our inadequate vetting process. The Biden Border Crisis has gotten so bad it has prompted border state governors to take some drastic measures. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has invoked the Invasion Clauses of the U.S. and Texas...

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) declared an invasion on the Texas border with Mexico, invoking the U.S, and Texas constitutions. Over five million illegal aliens have crossed the U.S. southern border with Mexico since Joe Biden assumed the presidency on January 20, 2021 and threw out President Trump’s successful policies that had secured the border. The flood of migrants at the border continued in October with nearly 300,000 contacts/gotaways reported by Customs and Border Patrol. Abbott: “I invoked the Invasion Clauses of the U.S. & Texas Constitutions to fully authorize Texas to take unprecedented measures to defend our state against...

Investigative journalist Lara Logan spoke Saturday in Arizona on a voter integrity panel. During her speech, Logan told the audience the Biden regime is handing out social security numbers to illegal aliens at the southern border. Over 3 million illegals will have crossed into the United States via the open southern border in Joe Biden’s first two years in office. This needs to be Joe Biden’s first impeachment trial — the purposeful destruction of the United States of America. ... Lara Logan: You look around you and you know they don’t actually believe in citizenship. And now when people come...

The fentanyl experience is devastating—and it’s hollowing out families and communities all across our country. News accounts shows drug deaths have spiked everywhere. The year I lost my sister, 2016, more than 65,000 people overdosed and died. That’s skyrocketed to more than 100,000 people during the 12-month period ending April 2021. That’s nearly 300 people each day. It takes only 2 milligrams to be lethal. That’s not even enough to cover the year on the front of the penny in your pocket. Fentanyl is now the leading cause of death for Americans between the ages of 18 and 45, according...

Iranian Narco-Jihad against the United States Yoram Ettinger, News1, May 19, 2022 https://m.news1.co.il/Archive/0026-D-154531-00.html Shiite clerics in Iran and Lebanon have ruled that drugs sold to "infidels" in Western countries, and especially to "the great American Satan", are believed to be more effective than war via missiles. "Many are wondering how Iran is financing its subversive and terrorist activities in the Persian Gulf and the Middle East, in addition to significant activity in the West, despite the consequences of the economic sanctions imposed on it. The answer lies in Iran's involvement in the distribution of drugs (and billions of dollars in...

Far-right activists are intercepting migrant children and collecting information about their families, based on an unfounded conspiracy theory that they are falling prey to sex-trafficking rings. SASABE, Ariz. — The 15 migrant children, weary and hungry, stumbled toward a gap in the rust-colored border wall that soars between Mexico and Arizona, nearing the end of their two-week trek north. Unexpectedly, a man in a cap emblazoned with a blackened American flag — traditionally, a message that “no quarter” will be given to the enemy — approached them and coaxed them to his campsite. Soon, the girls and boys, who were...

It was the mid-1990s and I was standing at the San Ysidro Port of Entry which connects Tijuana, Mexico, with San Diego. I was on a Congressional trip inspecting the border wall being constructed with bipartisan support from President Clinton and other Democrats. The border patrol agent continued, “See those high rise buildings just down the road [in Mexico]? There are drug cartel sharpshooters in them monitoring the cars that are trying to get through the inspection area with drugs...
