In a brazen demonstration of who controls the border, Mexican smugglers set up a make-shift ramp to drive a car over the southern border of the US in Arizona 'That's the international boundary on the Tohono O'odham reservation,' posted union vice president Art Del Cueto. 'Those extra things you see are ramps that the smugglers utilize to drive a car over the boundary and into the United States. The Native American nation is on record opposing the 30-foot high, steel wall that US officials say is a crucial layer in helping to stem the flow of migrants. In some places...

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...

Rep. John Curtis (R-UT), who is running for Senate to replace retiring Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT), said in 2017 that former President Donald Trump’s border wall carries “pent-up racism.” Curtis is just one of the many candidates running to replace Romney. He was the mayor of Provo and considered himself a Democrat until 2006. During an online debate in 2017, he said, when running for Congress, that hopes to continue then-President Donald Trump’s agenda.

I swear, if you don't laugh once in a while in politics, you'll spend all day crying ... or screaming. And this story will make us do all three, and not in that particular order. The Biden administration desperately needs to get Israel to slow down and let Hamas off the hook in Gaza, because ... Dearborn, apparently. Benjamin Netanyahu and 82% of Israelis are telling Biden to pound sand, so Biden wants to look for some alternative for the IDF that doesn't involve the actual destruction of Hamas, at least not before the elections in November. Their latest idea?...

Migrants entering the U.S. through breaches in border walls in Arizona continue, as more than 320,000 have been encountered so far this fiscal year. A video shows migrants taking selfies after successfully traveling from Mexico to Arizona. More than 10,000 migrants were apprehended in the Tucson Sector during the past week, according to an unofficial Border Patrol report posted on social media by Chief Patrol Agent John Modlin. In a video published by Fox News a large group of migrants are seen entering through a breach in the wall.

The Biden administration's plan to construct a floating pier in Gaza to deliver aid represents a significant logistical and humanitarian effort. Spearheaded by the U.S. military, in partnership with the private firm Fogbow, this initiative aims to deliver food equivalent to two million meals a day to Gaza. The undertaking is complex, requiring the assembly of a large floating dock and an 1,800-foot causeway to facilitate the transfer of supplies from cargo ships to the Gazan shore. This operation, while showcasing American ingenuity and commitment to humanitarian aid, occurs in a geopolitical context where Gaza is governed by Hamas, a...

Alabama Senator Katie Britt faced mockery and pushback after delivering the GOP's response to President Joe Biden's State of the Union address on Thursday. Britt aimed to skewer Biden on his record on immigration, crime and safety issues and the economy. Delivered from her kitchen table, her rebuttal was directed at "my fellow moms" across the country. Speaking about immigration and the crisis at the southern border, Britt claimed that construction of the wall between the U.S. and Mexico has been stopped. During her speech delivered after the State of the Union, Britt said Biden "halted construction of the border...

Biden, via proclamation, paused obligation of these funds the day he was inaugurated….” Court rules this was illegal, but I think Biden will find a way not to actually build the wall.. The timing of this is worth noting. Last night, in his vitriolic State of the Union address, Joe Biden blamed everyone but himself — but particularly Republicans — for his border crisis. But everyone knows, on day one of his presidency Biden by executive order removed numerous border protetions, including construction of a border wall. ... Sen. Marsha Blackburn... on his first day in office, Biden: — Paused...

A new poll shows for the first time that a majority of Americans support building a wall along the US-Mexico border — while three-fifths of the country sees illegal immigration under President Biden as a “very serious” problem. The Monmouth University survey released Monday found 53% of respondents favor building a border barrier while 46% say they are opposed. By contrast, 60% of Americans told the same pollster in September 2017, months after former President Donald Trump took office, that they were opposed to a border wall and just 35% said they were in favor of construction. When the question...

New sections of a border wall being built in California have an anti-climbing feature, according to reports. The top of the barrier erected at Friendship Park between San Diego and Tijuana, Mexico, has a "metal wing or wedge, or a comma on its side with the pointy end hanging over the Mexican side of the border like an awning," according to Fox 5. Pedro Rios, of the American Friends Service Committee, called the additions "techitos," or little rooftops. "It's an anti-climbing feature that's meant to stop people from scaling the border wall," Rios told the station. "It's the first of...

Sunday released the details of a long-awaited comprehensive border security bill, which also contains a substantial foreign aid component. The discussions, led by Senators James Lankford (R-OK), Krysten Sinema (I-AZ), and Chris Murphy (D-CT), come after months of negotiations with the Biden regime, seeking to address both the ongoing crisis at the U.S. southern border and foreign policy commitments abroad. The 370-page deal, according to Senator Patty Murray (D-WA), Chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, claims it reflects weeks of good-faith negotiations, balancing domestic concerns with urgent international aid needs. “As Ukraine runs low on ammunition to fend off Putin’s...

The Supreme Court’s decision .. to order Texas not to protect its border with Mexico will go down in history as one of the court’s most cowardly decisions that could doom our nation — if it is allowed to stand. That decision was not just about razor wire. It was about the role of states in our federal system and the betrayal of the nation — first by a president, and now by two Republican-appointed justices. .... Biden .. was the second act in the Obama administration’s mission to “fundamentally transform” the United States. He was declaring that the Trump...

I wish this was a headline from the Babylon Bee but no, this is real life.. Remember when Democrats and RINOs in Congress told President Donald Trump that $15 billion was too much for a border wall? Then they said $6 billion was too much. Then they said $3.2 billion was too much. The border wall was never finished and the Biden-Harris regime has been practically begging illegal aliens to come across and to bring friends. Lots of friends. Lots of military-aged male friends. Good times.. As a result, the Office of Refugee Resettlement, which is supposed to be working...

U.S. Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) joined a group of her Republican colleagues in introducing a bill that would authorize U.S. states bordering Canada or Mexico to place temporary structures on federal land to secure its border. While the U.S. Constitution currently provides for the protection of states “against invasion” and reserves the right of states to defend themselves, states are unable to place structures on federal land without first obtaining authorization from the federal government under current law. If enacted, Blackburn and her colleagues’ Creating Obstructions Necessary to Address Illegal and Nefarious Entry Rapidly (CONTAINER) Act would allow border states...

Elections have consequences. Stolen elections have catastrophic consequences. Joe Biden is asking Mexican President Lopex Obrador for assistance in curbing the invasion of illegal aliens into the US southern border. Over 10 million illegals have walked across the border into the United States since Joe Biden took over. Last month, December, saw a new record with over 300,000 illegals making it into the United States from Mexico. This is a catastrophic invasion fulling caused and supported by the Democrat Party and the weak Republicans who refuse to protect their country. This comes after President Trump record reduction in illegal migration...

Looking at the current situation at the US border, it’s hard not to think that this isn’t just a massive random mess but a deliberate one. More and more people are starting to believe that the so-called “Great Replacement” theory isn’t just a conspiracy after all. The left is quick to label this “Great Replacement Theory” as “racist,” and they don’t hold back in attacking anyone who dares to bring it up. But that hasn’t stopped Tucker Carlson. He’s never shied away from discussing it, and he dove right into the controversy with his typical Tucker style. ... Vivek Ramaswamy...

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. clashed with Breaking Points host Krystal Ball, comparing Israel’s situation to a hypothetical one of America being attacked by Mexico, while accusing the Palestinians of being exceedingly “pampered” and firing back at Ball’s relentless fault-finding against the Jewish state, stating: “Everything in your mind is telling you to blame Israel, instead of blaming Hamas.” In a fiery interview with Breaking Points, hosted by Saagar Enjeti and Krystal Ball, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. sparred with Ball over who is to blame for the Palestinians’ suffering in Gaza amidst the ongoing conflict between Israel and...

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Chief Alejandro Mayorkas on Wednesday said securing the border and limiting asylum is “violence to our fundamental values.” 12,000 illegal aliens flooded over the border in the last 24 hours in the highest single-day total ever recorded. Bill Melugin reported from Lukeville, Arizona on Wednesday and showed a massive line of illegals at the border. Most of the illegals are military-aged single men from around the world including Africa and Syria. A live look at the situation in Lukeville, AZ this morning, as record high illegal crossings surge along the southern border. Here – masses...
