California becomes first state to offer health insurance to ALL illegal migrants
Taxpayers will be forced to fork out $3.1BN PER YEAR in medical care for an extra 700,000 people
On January 1, taxpayers will now be forced to fork out thousands for medical care for an additional 700,000 undocumented immigrants – between 26 and 49 – eligible for full coverage under Medi-Cal, California’s Medicaid program.
It comes as more than a staggering 1.5 million are pouring across the southern border every year many of them seeking shelter in California’s Democrat-run ‘sanctuary cities.’… (Continue to full article)
More than 302,000 illegal migrants crossed into the US in December setting the record for most entries in HISTORY as Biden grapples with the fallout of his administration’s policies
A record number of migrants crossed the U.S. southern border in December, according to a new report, topping the highest amount ever recorded as President Joe Biden continues to grapple with the crisis.
Mucho Migranta!
There were 300,000 encounters in the last month of 2023, U.S. Custom and Border Patrol sources told Fox News. Between Dec. 1 and December 31, more than 302,000 migrants were documented attempting to cross the U.S. southern border.
Biden has asked Congress for $61 billion in aid to Ukraine, but Republicans are refusing to approve the assistance without an agreement with Democrats to tighten security along the U.S.-Mexico border. His request also includes $14 billion for Israel as it fights Hamas and $14 billion for U.S. border security.
Thousands more were set to arrive in the coming days in the form of a massive migrant caravan making its way through Mexico to the southern border… (Continue to full article)
Mexico and Venezuela restart repatriation flights amid pressure to curb soaring migration to U.S.
Mexico and Venezuela announced Saturday that they have restarted repatriation flights of Venezuelans migrants in Mexico, the latest move by countries in the region to take on a flood of people traveling north to the United States.
The move comes as authorities say at least 10,000 migrants a day have been arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border, many of them asylum seekers. It also comes as a migrant caravan of thousands of people from across the region – largely Venezuelans – has trekked through southern Mexico this week.
The repatriation flights are part of an agreement made between regional leaders during a summit in Mexico in October that aimed to seek solutions for migration levels that show few signs of slowing down… (Continue to full article)
Top 5 immigration stories of 2023: Driver’s Licenses for All, reunification delays, tragedy in the Somali community
After years of trying to understand the complexities of the U.S. immigration system and how it impacts Minnesotans, I finally got the chance to really dig deeper into the cracks in the system and its effects on people.
In a major victory for immigration advocates this year, the Minnesota Legislature passed Driver’s Licenses For All, a bill that allows undocumented Minnesotans the chance to get a driver’s license. Covering that issue gave me the opportunity to look at how public safety and local law enforcement intersect with the immigration system – advocates often call this intersection “crimmigration.” Much of my year was spent reporting on U.S. Immigration Customs and Enforcement – better known as ICE—to understand how it operates locally.
But immigration issues are just one aspect of the story. I continued to write about the lives of immigrants in Minnesota and the ways communities come together – during times of both celebration and tragedy.
Here’s a breakdown of Sahan Journal’s top stories about immigration in Minnesota in the last year… (Continue to full article)
Immigration Enforcement Legislation, 26 State State Attorneys General Unite for Urgency
In a unified effort, twenty-six state attorneys general are urgently calling on House Speaker Mike Johnson to expedite the passage of a crucial bill, the Immigration Enforcement Partnership Act, or H.R. 1337. This legislation, introduced by Rep. Bill Posey, R-Fla., on March 3, 2023, empowers state officials to assume the role of federal immigration authorities when the Homeland Security secretary neglects their responsibilities.
The appeal, spearheaded by Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody, expresses astonishment at the limited attention given to H.R. 1337 and similar proposals. The attorneys general are urging Speaker Johnson to prioritize these critical issues.
Signatories to the letter, which includes attorneys general from Alabama, Alaska, Missouri, Ohio, Tennessee, and Texas, emphasize the urgent need to address what they describe as “the devastating effects of our wide-open border… (Continue to full article)
I was pondering my children’s and grandchildren’s futures in America today, as I considered what I wanted to write, and this was the result. They don’t have a future so long as so many people remain so ignorant in the country and demand every want and need for their existence to be met by the government, as if someone doesn’t actually have to pay for all of it – Yes AOC – taxpayers are real live people with their own bills to pay.
Folks, it’s time to break the cycle of abuses – cruel, brutal, immoral, unconstitutional and unacceptable – that have been heaped upon us by the government for way too long.
Joe Biden’s policies have been an unmitigated disaster. Even the lefties know that, but they gaslight us and pretend Joe is another Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Annual southwest border apprehensions exceeded 405,500 just once during the last presidency, in fiscal year 2019, when they hit 860,000. Trump responded with the successful “Remain in Mexico” program, driving illegal migration down again. 
The biggest migrant caravan for 18 months set off for the US from Mexico on Christmas Eve as border crossing records continue to tumble.
I always like watching all the old ‘Scrooge’ movies on TV at this time of year. I prefer the black and white ones. I picture London being black and white in 1843, when Charles Dickens penned the tale – and in fact, Benjamin Franklin described old London as being a smokey, dark place in the mid 1700s. One of the best film versions is the 1935 one starring Seymour Hicks. When he contritely visits his nephew and his nephew’s new wife at the end, he takes a moment to look at their Christmas tree. He sheds a tear because it’s so beautiful.
Most Americans know the plot well. The despondent Charlie Brown who just can’t work up his Christmas cheer amidst crass commercialism. The confident and obnoxious Lucy, who finds the allegedly perfect solution to Charlie Brown’s gloom. The ill-fated Christmas pageant, which confirms Charlie Brown’s status as a loser. And finally, the rebirth of Christmas cheer that comes through Linus’ recitation of the original Christmas story.
One cannot help but notice that Christmas is once again upon us; from the decorations outside people’s homes, to the frantic sales in the stores to boost year end sales. Yet, has Christmas become so commercialized that we have forgotten what we are celebrating? Putting aside the fact that Christ was probably born in April, not December, we are celebrating the birth of the most important human being who ever lived. I have always felt that Christmas was becoming too commercialized, but this year that sentiment is made more poignant by the fact that I have undergone a spiritual awakening, of sorts, over the past 12 months. Christmas, to me, is not about the decorating, the gift giving, or the big family meal; it is about remembering, “For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.”
