Sheriff in Remote Stretch of Texas Border Reports Migrant Crossings Pick Up as Smugglers Get Desperate Under Trump
As President Trump’s border crackdown drives illegal crossings down to historic lows , smugglers are doing anything they can to keep profiting from their terrible trade.

In the remote stretch of west Texas border in Terrell County, Sheriff Thaddeus Cleveland is seeing migrant crossings pick up because it’s so remote that it’s difficult to patrol.

“Up until now we were slowing down, I think as the year progresses more activity will move out here because it’s wide open spaces”.

About 60 migrants have been captured in the last ten days trying to traverse the mountainous desert region that is home to just 800 residents… (Continue to full article)

CBP Officers Seize Over $14M of Alleged Methamphetamine at Southern Border
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers at the Pharr International Bridge between South Texas and Mexico discovered a shipment of over $14 million worth of methamphetamine, which was concealed in a shipment of vegetables.

The discovery of the drugs within shipments of bell peppers and cucumbers was made on April 11, when CBP officers assigned to the international bridge cargo facility encountered a tractor trailer entering the U.S. from Mexico… (Continue to full article)

The US Coast Guard Seized $510 Million Worth of Drugs From Smugglers, Including a Narco-Sub
More than 24 tons of illegal narcotics worth about $510 million was seized by the US Coast Guard earlier this year, the maritime law enforcement agency said in a statement last Wednesday.

The crew of US Coast Guard Cutter James offloaded more than 44,550 pounds of cocaine and 3,880 pounds of marijuana in Port Everglades, Florida, on April 9, an operation that culminated as the Trump administration focused more military assets on stemming the flow of drugs and migrants across the US’s southern border… (Continue to full article)

Ashurst: A Border Manifesto

Arizona to Verify Up to 50K People From Voter Rolls Who Failed to Prove Citizenship
All 15 Arizona counties have now begun the process of verifying and removing voters from their voter rolls, including nearly 50,000 registrants who did not provide proof of U.S. citizenship.

“This settlement is a great result for all Arizonans,” America First Legal (AFL) senior counsel James Rogers told Fox News Digital after his organization’s successful lawsuit spearheaded the process in Arizona.

AFL filed the lawsuit against the 15 Arizona counties last year on behalf of EZAZ.org, and Yvonne Cahill, a registered voter and naturalized citizen, arguing that the counties had not been following a state law that requires proof of citizenship to vote in local and state elections and for the state to do monthly checks of the rolls for registrants who did not check the box confirming citizenship… (Continue to full article)

Mexico Reportedly Plans “Mega Expulsion” of 40 Narcos, Including El Cuini and La Tuta
The Mexican government is reportedly planning a “mass expulsion” of a new batch of significant drug cartel figures to the United States. According to the information published by Crashout Media, “Mexican prosecutors are also considering filing Mexican terrorism charges against cartel operatives, which could strengthen the controversial argument for expulsions.”

The “expulsions” are part of Mexican “President Claudia Sheinbaum’s strategy of cracking down hard on cartels to placate the Trump administration and avoid excessive tariffs or unilateral U.S. military strikes into Mexico,” adds the report, published by Ioan Grillo, a British journalist based in Mexico City and specialized in organized crime.

“Up to 40 cartel members could be expelled,” details Grillo, mentioning the name of Abigael “El Cuini” González Valencia, a high-ranking cartel member who is accused of being the leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG)

This new batch of expulsions would follow a similar operation from February of this year… (Continue to full article)

How Many Dead Americans Will It Take for Democrats to Start Caring?
Democrats are like that guy running the three-card Monte game in Times Square at 3:00 a.m.. They talk non-stop for the express purpose of distracting whatever sucker plunked down $20 to “find the red queen.” The subject of the talking doesn’t matter, only the distraction it creates. “Hey, check out that guy’s shoes!” That keeps the scam going.

That’s how Democrats are when it comes to illegal immigration — talking non-stop without ever saying anything, in the hope that no one will notice that every single American murdered by an illegal alien would be alive today had the immigration laws just been enforced as written.

Laken Riley, for example, would still be alive. So would Kate Steinle, Rachel Morin, and every single other American murdered by ILLEGAL aliens… (Continue to full article)

Legal Status Revoked for 985,000 Migrants Who Entered US Under Biden-Era CBP One App
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is terminating parole protections for people who entered the country through the CBP One app, revoking legal status for nearly a million migrants who came to the U.S. during the Biden administration.

Roughly 985,000 people used the app to make appointments at a port of entry at the border, with those who entered often permitted to seek asylum and given temporary work authorization.

The Trump administration last month also said it plans to begin fining migrants $998 per day if they fail to leave after being ordered deported… (Continue to full article)

July 25, 2010 ~ I believe story telling to be an art form, certainly verbal record is the oldest form of recording history and recognized by historians worldwide. There is an old adage among those who love to tell a good tale, “Never let the truth get in the way of a good story.” And yet there are times when the truth is even more fantastic than exaggeration. What I write here is the truth, plain and simple.

I reside on, and manage a large cattle ranch in the far southeastern corner of Arizona. I’’ve been here for 13 years and in that time frame have become far too familiar with the illegal trafficking in human beings, marijuana and other illicit drugs. Some have called it “the wetback culture” or “America’s border problem”. Lately it’s been taking steroids. Continue reading →

Many of them also received student loans, tax refunds, and food stamps, according to the Department of Government Efficiency.

Numerous illegal immigrants with terrorist or criminal links who entered the United States under the previous administration received several government benefits, according to the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

“Under the Biden administration, it was routine for Border Patrol to admit aliens into the United States with no legal status and minimal screening,” DOGE said in an April 11 post on social media platform X. Continue reading →
