Biden Blackmail Intensifies: Won’t Shut Border Until Congress Coughs Up Ukraine, Israel Funds
As Republican governors circle the wagon around Texas, President Biden on Saturday doubled down on a reluctant agreement to secure the southern US border – but only if if Congress passes a bipartisan bill that would also allocate funds for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, and would still allow as many as 150,000 illegal crossings per month!

“If that bill were the law today I’d shut down the border right now and fix it quickly and bring a bipartisan bill that would be good for America and help fix our broken immigration system and allow speedy access for those who deserve to be here,” Biden said, according to Fox News’

Except, as many have pointed out, Biden doesn’t need Congress, or the bill, to do that right now… (Continue to full article)

The MAGA Truckers Are Back — And Heading to the Border
A convoy of Jesus-loving truckers will converge on the southern border next week in a battle to stop what they say is a migrant “invasion,” as Texas remains locked in a standoff with the feds over razor wire it installed along the Rio Grande in Eagle Pass.

Multiple Republican-led states began sending personnel and resources months ago to combat increased migrant encounters at the U.S.-Mexico border, with one state saying “nothing is off the table” as tensions bubble between Texas Governor Greg Abbott and the Biden administration.

Abbott has voiced displeasure over Monday’s 5-4 Supreme Court decision, which vacated an injunction from an appeals court and allowed federal Border Patrol agents to remove razor wire installed at the border by Texas officials under Abbott’s direction. It does not prevent Texas from erecting new wire… (Continue to full article)

Supreme Court not done with border issue while Texas vows to ‘hold the line’
Monday’s decision in which the U.S. Supreme Court sided with the Biden administration against Texas efforts to secure a lengthy section of southern border won’t change those efforts in the short term, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott vowed.

It’s a topic the nine justices could face again with deciding if President Joe Biden’s refusal to stem to flow of illegals crossing the border constitutes an invasion or is a question of immigration.

For now, the Supremes reversal of an appellate ruling means federal Border Patrol agents can cut concertina wire, installed by the the State of Texas to stop illegal immigrants, while litigation continues… (Continue to full article)

Biden endorses emerging deal to give US new power to clamp down on border crossings

Denver Officials Conduct Two Sweeps of Migrant Encampment in One Week
Denver city officials have conducted two sweeps of a migrant encampment located at 51st and Emerson streets within a span of just one week. This move is part of efforts to enforce the camping ban on Denver-owned park property. The actions have sparked discussions about the challenges posed by increasing migrant arrivals in the city.

Before officials could capture them, more than 20 illegal immigrants were seen on camera entering a San Diego beach by boat early on Thursday morning and then fleeing into the streets of La Jolla.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) reports that at around 5:30 a.m., the Joint Harbor Operations Center alerted CBP law enforcement agents about “two suspicious vessels” bringing suspected illegal migrants towards Ocean Beach, and about two hours later, Windansea Beach.

However, when CBP Air and Marine and U.S. Border Patrol agents arrived, all they discovered were the abandoned boats… (Continue to full article)

Biden Admin Has Released 6.2 Million Illegal Migrants into U.S. in 3 Years, Often Through ‘Parole’ Loophole‘I’m quite offended’
The 2023 inflow included 900,000 migrants who were released after they walked up to official border gates plus 1.1 million migrants who were released after they crossed through gaps in the border wall, said the CBO agency, which acts as an advisor to Capitol Hill legislators.

Roughly half of those migrants — 1.1 million — were let into the country by October 1, via Biden’s use of the “parole” loophole in border law, the CBO reported. Biden and his Democrat allies are now trying to expand the parole doorway… (Continue to full article)

‘This is not over,’ Texas says after Supreme Court lets Biden administration remove razor wire at US-Mexico border
Razor wire is still up along a contested section of the US-Mexico border a day after the US Supreme Court voted to let federal Border Patrol agents remove the barrier installed there as part of Texas’ Republican governor’s security initiative while the state’s legal challenge to the wire-cutting plays out.

A CNN team in Eagle Pass, Texas – recently the epicenter of the migrant crisis and near where three migrants drowned this month – spotted the razor wire Tuesday morning. The high court ruled 5-4 on Monday in a victory for President Joe Biden in the ongoing dispute with Texas over whether Border Patrol has the legal authority to cut concertina wire installed by Texas on the banks of the Rio Grande… (Continue to full article)

The Texas National Guard responds to the Supreme Court’s order to remove the razor wire in Eagle Pass by installing even more.
Governor Abbott has said “Texas will not back down” as it defends its border.

The recent actions of the Texas National Guard in response to the Supreme Court’s order have sparked a heated debate among the public. The Guard’s decision to install even more razor wire in Eagle Pass, despite the court’s order to remove it, has raised several questions about the state’s authority and its conflict with federal laws.

One reader pointed out that it might not be the National Guard, but the Texas Guard that is responsible for the action. This highlights the complexity of the situation and the potential confusion over the roles of different state agencies… (Continue to full article)

A tense standoff between Texas National Guard troops and the federal government escalated on Tuesday after the state’s military said it would “hold the line” in a battle for control of a stretch of the border with Mexico.

The long-running power struggle between the once-independent state and the Biden administration was sparked by Texas authorities placing razor wire at a park on the banks of the Rio Grande that has seen high numbers of illegal crossings. Last week, the Texas National Guard blocked federal border patrol troops from entering the area in the town of Eagle Pass, accusing them of destroying the fortifications… (Continue to full article)

BORDER SHOWDOWN: Texas Defies Feds — ‘We Will Continue to Deploy Razor Wire’
The Texas Military Department says it will continue to “hold the line in Shelby Park” in their efforts to “deter and prevent unlawful entry into the State of Texas.” Under Operation Lone Star orders from Governor Greg Abbott, the Texas National Guard’s actions continue despite a second demand letter from the Department of Homeland Security to release control of the park seized by the State earlier this month. Governor Abbott pledged to continue deploying razor wire along the Rio Grande border with Mexico.

US Travelers Outraged by Airport Signs Appearing to Allow Migrants Onto Flights Without ID: ‘I’m quite offended’
American travelers are outraged by signs appearing at US airports appearing to allow migrants onto flights without showing proper identification.

US citizens traveling domestically have to show a valid identification card or a passport to board a plane, but signs at certain airports say there are different rules for some newly arrived migrants.

The signs claim the Transport Security Administration is working with Customs and Border Protection to “validate adult non-US citizen travel documentation when the traveler does not otherwise have an acceptable form of identification.”

In practice, this means migrants who have entered the country using the CBP One app – some 45,000 people a month – can use it as their travel document and even choose whether to allow officers to take their picture.. (Continue to full article)

Fetterman voiced his concerns about the ongoing migration crisis and demanded a ‘secure border’ as he spoke to CNN’s The Lead anchor Jake Tapper on Friday.

Texas Adds More Razor Wire to Hotspot Illegal Border Crossing as Migrants Surge Into Southern US‘I’m quite offended’

Federal officials have demanded that authorities in the Lone Star State abandon Shelby Park in Eagle Pass, Texas

In a seemingly defiant move against federal demands, state crews in Texas continue to add more razor wire and fencing near the border crossing along the Rio Grande.

In a new video obtained by Fox News, workers are seen unraveling spindles of the extra sharp security wire along with steel chain-link fencing as they prepare to install it along the river bed at Shelby Park in Eagle Pass.

Migrant crisis plunges Denver’s main public hospital deep into the red after patients received $130 MILLION of treatments they were unable to pay for
The migrant crisis in Denver has plunged the city’s main public hospital deep into the red after patients received $136 million in treatment they couldn’t pay for.

Denver Health lost $2 million in 2022 – but that was substantially-reduced by a $20 million cash injection from the state.

In 2022, the hospital system lost $35 million, with bosses warning of ‘dire consequences’ for the hospital if 2024 is as bad as the previous two.

The rise in costs has coincided with the unprecedented number of immigrants who crossed America’s border and arrived in Denver. Around 36,000 have arrived so far – many of them bused from Texas – with 18,000 deciding to stay… (Continue to full article)

Border Patrol Chooses Sides After Abbott Seizes Land in Overrun Eagle Pass
Amid the still-worsening border chaos created by the policies of Biden, Texas has refused to accept what the Secretary of Homeland Security still can’t bring himself to call a “crisis.” The Lone Star State’s latest action on Thursday: seizing a swath of city-owned parkland along the Rio Grande in Eagle Pass, kicking federal border agents off the property, and enforcing the international border with Mexico.

Shelby Park — the land seized by the Texas National Guard — sits adjacent to the International Bridge where surges of illegal immigrants stream into the U.S. Over the span of just a few days in December, some 12,000 illegal immigrants unlawfully streamed into the U.S. at Eagle Pass, reinforcing its status one of the main entry points for masses of illegal crossers.

According to Texas officials — who notified Eagle Pass that the park was being taken over by the state — national guardsmen have “maintained a presence with security points and temporary barrier in Shelby Park since 2021” and the “current posture is to prepare for future illegal immigrant surges and to restrict access to organizations that perpetuate illegal immigrant crossings in the park and greater Eagle Pass area… (Continue to full article)

The Impeachment of Secretary Mayorkas is Moving Forward

Lyin’-Ass Mayorkas

The House Homeland Security Committee held a hearing on Capitol Hill Thursday to review the potential impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. After hours of testimony from parents whose children were killed by illegal immigrants and fentanyl, Republicans are moving forward.

Illegal crossings into the United States continue to reach catastrophic, historic levels. Senate Republicans are currently negotiating a deal with Democrats and the White House for asylum reform in exchange for new Ukraine funding.
