A very worth while watch of 37:21 minutes of the dynamics that have played out in the Middle East since the 1880s on until the beginnings of ISIS.

A plan sought by President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) would see illegal aliens released into the United States and only required to “check-in” with federal officials annually, Breitbart News has exclusively learned. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) official Claire Trickler-McNulty gave a presentation to the House Homeland Security Committee in September regarding details of the administration’s proposed “Release and Reporting Management” (RRM) program. RRM would replace existing DHS programs to more quickly get illegal aliens into the U.S. interior after they have arrived at the southern border — turning the nation’s borders into a European-style checkpoint. Tickler-McNulty’s...

On Wednesday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “America’s Newsroom,” U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Bridget Brink stated that pushing Russia back to its 1991 borders is in America’s strategic interests and is “an existential question for Ukraine,” but dodged on if the money President Joe Biden is asking for for Ukraine will be enough to achieve that goal. Co-host Dana Perino asked, “Is what the President’s asking for for Ukraine, is that enough to help Ukraine finish the job, meaning pushing back Putin’s troops permanently?” Brink responded, “Dana, thanks so much for having me. I would just say that I...

During a Senate committee hearing Tuesday, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas couldn’t answer a question about how many illegal immigrants federal authorities have released into the U.S. interior under the Biden administration. Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., pressed Mayorkas on the issue, but the DHS secretary couldn’t provide a number at Tuesday’s Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee hearing. Illegal immigration at the southern border of the U.S. has surged past 2 million in both fiscal year 2022, the highest year on record, and 2023, according to federal data. An Inspector General report in September found that DHS...

President Joe Biden’s deputies are offering multiple concessions to Mexican President Andres Manuel López Obrador in the hope that he will conceal the huge and unpopular flow of illegal migrants during the 2024 campaign season. On Thursday, three of Biden’s cabinet secretaries met with Obrador. He has the power to embarrass Biden during the 2024 campaign with massive, televised eruptions of migrants — such as the September 2021 rush of 15,000 Haitians at Del Rio, Texas. He has that power because Biden’s deputies have abandoned their duty to enforce the border law and have, instead, triggered a flood of global...

The chief advisor for New York City Mayor Eric Adams called on the federal government to “close the borders” Sunday – a remark that led to an outcry from liberal pols and a quick clarification from another high-ranking City Hall official. Ingrid Lewis-Martin made the comments during an interview on PIX 11 Sunday morning when asked about the city’s attempt to change the right-to-shelter policy in place as the Big Apple strains to care for tens of thousands of migrants. “The federal government needs to do its job,” she said on the television station. “We need the federal government, the...

The violence of asylum seekers flowing to Europe is becoming increasingly brutal: as Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán announced today, Tuesday, in the parliament in Budapest, migrants had shot the Hungarian border officials with automatic weapons on the last few nights. As early as 168 border guards are said to have been seriously injured on the southern border of the country, said Orbán, who noted that the illegals had thus exceeded the rubicon “ ”. Like the Express reported, there were already very similar incidents on the border with Serbia in June: there were also shootings with the border guards...

Walk through your local grocery store and you’ll find many Kellogg’s products: Rice Krispies, Pop-Tarts, Pringles, Cheez-Its, Froot Loops, Frosted Mini-Wheats, Corn Flakes, Frosted Flakes, and Special K. Some of the boxes will tell you that they are sweet and delicious, while others might claim to be heart-healthy. What Kellogg's products should tell you is that each sale supports open borders, rioting, and radical leftism. This is an indisputable fact, just like the number of calories in a serving. Each box of Special K that’s sold benefits the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. Every conservative knows about George Soros’ support of left-wing...

The Biden administration in August blew past its self-imposed limits on the number of asylum seekers it would allow into the country, releasing a group dominated by single males into the nation’s interior, internal Department of Homeland Security data obtained by the Washington Free Beacon show. Customs and Border Protection processed 45,403 migrants through the CBP One mobile application in August, an average of roughly 1,465 migrants per day. The federal government in June capped the number of migrants who can apply through the app at 1,450 per day. August was the second month the Biden administration failed to honor...

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...

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...

The open borders agenda of Germany saw net migration hit a record high in the country last year, yet the government is set to ease immigration standards even further. According to Germany’s official statistician, Destatis, 2.67 million foreigners migrated to the country in 2022, while 1.2 million left, resulting in a record high net migration of 1.46 million people. The number of people who entered the country was nearly double over the previous year, when 1.32 million migrants arrived compared to 994,000 people leaving Germany, public broadcaster Deutsche Welle reported.

The corruption of the DOJ borders on the incomprehensible. Biden has turned the DOJ into his personal defense law firm. Merrick Garland is either a galactic liar or is an incompetent moron. He denied interfering with the Hunter/Joe Biden investigation but whistleblowers testify to the contrary. These aren't weasels like Alexander Vindman and his bag boy. These are long term highly regarded agents of the IRS. Shapley is a supervisory special agent with the IRS's criminal investigations department, currently overseeing a team of 12 agents who specialize in international tax and financial crimes. Previously, he was an officer with the...

North Koreans are fighting starvation as the Hermit Kingdom continues its isolation from the rest of the world. Three residents of the totalitarian state secretly communicated with the BBC for months, detailing the horrors of watching their neighbors starve to death as they struggle to survive what may prove to be an even worse hunger crisis than North Korea’s famine in the 1990s, which killed three million people. “At first, I was afraid of dying from Covid,” one construction worker told the broadcaster, “but then I began to worry about starving to death.” Following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic...

The free-for-all America has witnessed at the southern border (5 million “encounters” and 1.5 million gotaways) has been ongoing for the last 30 months. Many books will be written about the series of policy decisions (and plain ol’ gross negligence) that led to the daily chaos. Indeed, the storylines are limitless, given the width and depth of this travesty. But there are specific subplots worthy of special consideration by those attempting to fully understand how we ended up here. Herein follows seven of those storylines: 1. On the heels of the scheduled lapse of the Title 42 pandemic health restriction,...

The California Senate on Tuesday voted to pay $300 weekly checks to unemployed illegal immigrants even as the state faces a roughly $31.5 billion deficit and mass illegal immigration. Democratic state senators passed Senate Bill 227 by Sen. María Elena Durazo (D.) with a 30-7 vote, sending the measure to the Assembly for approval. The legislation would offer undocumented aliens up to 20 weeks of unemployment benefits if they meet minimal work requirements. California’s unemployment insurance fund, which was defrauded of some $31 billion during the COVID-19 pandemic, would be in charge of dispensing the checks. California employers are on...

Biden's Open Border Hurts Black Americans Most of All "...Black Chicagoans of the South Shore neighborhood came out in droves to reject a recent proposal to convert a public high school building into a migrant facility. With chants of "build the wall" and calling the city council to task for "making decisions about us, when none of you live here," Black American South Side residents took a stance against more crime from unvetted migrants, siphoning financial resources away from Black citizens, and imposing unnecessary competition for jobs..."

All this is happening as the Biden administration oversees historic waves of legal and especially illegal immigration to America. Biden cited a study showing a shortfall of more than 1.5 million residential units nationwide. This has spiked housing prices and raised rents to the highest levels on record. Myopic media outlets, blinkered academics and craven politicians don’t connect the dots, but the annual influx of millions of immigrants is clearly inflating the demand in an already overheated market for housing and increasing costs commensurately. Apologists for the immigration lobby blame zoning laws, local officials and every other conceivable scapegoat. Yet...

More than 99 percent of foreign nationals scheduling appointments at the United States-Mexico border via President Joe Biden’s migrant mobile app are being released into the nation’s interior, a report details. The mobile app, known as Customs and Border Protection (CBP One), entices foreign nationals living in Mexico who are pregnant, mentally ill, elderly, disabled, homeless, or crime victims to schedule an appointment with agents at the border in the hopes of being released into American communities. Foreign nationals in Mexico can submit their application for an appointment through the CBP One app up to 14 days in advance and...

The Biden administration is considering reinstating the policy of detaining migrant families who cross the border illegally, a practice President Joe Biden had ended when he came into office, two administration officials said. It is one of several options administration officials are mulling as they prepare for the end of Title 42, the public health order that allows border agents to immediately turn away certain migrants who crossed the southern border illegally. White House and Department of Homeland Security officials have had multiple meetings in recent days to discuss the possibility of reviving the practice ahead of the anticipated expiration...
