‘That border fight is coming, and we’re going to die on that hill’
Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) pledged Monday to block foreign aid to Ukraine and Israel unless measures including “remain in Mexico” are reinstated in U.S. border policy.
In an appearance on conservative commentator Hugh Hewitt’s radio show , Johnson lamented that aid to Israel and Ukraine amid their respective wars were packaged together in a supplemental budget request by the Biden administration, but the Speaker made clear his priority is border policy.
“Israel and Ukraine are separate and distinct. We have to support Israel. It’s a top priority. Ukraine’s important as well. But we cannot be involved in securing the border of Ukraine or other nations until we secure our own. And so that border fight is coming, and we’re going to die on that hill… (Continue to full article)
House Judiciary Hearing Highlights the Cost of Illegal Immigration to American Taxpayers
In a House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement hearing on Thursday, a panel of witnesses and Republican lawmakers revealed how Biden’s open border policies have strained American taxpayers and put national security at risk.
In the hearing, Republican Rep. Wesley Hunt (TX) said that the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has an “entirely different standard” for illegal immigrants boarding flights in the U.S.
“This is a line in the Tucson airport specially made for non-citizens,” Hunt said in his remarks while showing a graphic of the airport.
“The sign says: ‘Non-U.S. citizens without passports enter here.’ Without passports. That is the tip of the iceberg… (Continue to full article)

MORE CHINEE: CCP member and Chairman Mao admirer Chen Tianqiao’s $85 MILLION purchase of Oregon timberland is missing from government records, alarming lawmakers: Is now second-largest foreign owner of US land
The purchase of $85 million worth of US agricultural land by a Chinese billionaire and alleged Communist Party member has sparked outcry among lawmakers after it went largely unreported for eight years.
It emerged earlier this week that California-based online gaming pioneer Chen Tianqiao owns 198,000 acres of Oregon timberland, making him the second largest foreign owner of American land.
The sale went through in 2015, but only became widespread knowledge on Monday after Oregon tax records unveiled one of Chen’s companies as the beneficial owner… (Continue to full article)
Migrants are LEAVING Chicago
The situation in Chicago is dire, with hundreds of migrants living in buses and resorting to desperate measures like searching through trash bins for food. Over the past 16 months, an estimated 34,000 migrants have arrived in Chicago, overwhelming the city’s shelter system. Initially, police precincts were enlisted to house the migrants, but this temporary solution was discontinued in December. With the city’s 27 designated shelter buildings already at full capacity, authorities have been scrambling to find alternative housing options.
A recent addition of eight “warming buses” in the West Loop aimed to alleviate some of the burden. However, conditions on these buses are far from comfortable, with basic necessities like food and on-site shower facilities being scarce. Volunteers have been providing limited provisions like packets of oatmeal and Nutri-Grain bars, but the situation remains dire. One Venezuelan migrant, Robinson Mendez, shared his experience, stating that without proper food, people are forced to resort to extreme measures.
Mendez recently witnessed a distressing scene involving hungry migrants in Chicago… (Continue to full article)
Border residents to Congress: ‘Stop holding press conferences, shut down the border‘
As another Republican congressional delegation arrived in Eagle Pass, Texas, Wednesday to hold another news conference and meet local residents, many Texans living at the border say they are fed up and want Congress to shut down the border.
If Congress continues to use taxpayer dollars to fund policies that facilitate the border crisis, they argue, Congress is complicit in creating it and a national security threat.
Congress hasn’t yet agreed to a $13.6 billion request from the president to fund “border enforcement and migration management.” This includes hiring more judges and asylum staffers “to expedite the screening process” to release more people into the U.S., White House Communications Director Ben LaBolt recently explained. House Republicans have “refused to take up the President’s supplemental funding request. Actions speak louder than words. It’s time for House Republicans to act… (Continue to full article)
