Trump is offering illegally present foreigners a gift.

The Department of Homeland Security is intensifying its efforts to persuade unauthorized immigrants to self-deport by offering a $1,000 stipend and travel assistance.

The federal agency announced Monday that those who use the CBP Home app to voluntarily leave the United States will receive assistance “to facilitate travel back to their home country” and $1,000 “paid after their return to their home country has been confirmed through the app.”

When I first saw that it struck me negatively. Why would we “reward” people who had illegally crossed into our country? Not only did millions of people commit a crime when crossing our border illegally, millions of people were given handouts when they got here. Some of them were flown to a city of their choice.

It wasn’t until I read further that I realized that there is a huge benefit for illegal aliens who self-deport, namely that they preserve the right to return to the U.S. using proper channels and processes. But the even bigger benefit is for U.S. citizens: it saves taxpayer dollars.

A single deportation costs U.S. taxpayers $17,121, according to DHS. The federal agency expects self-deportations to decrease that cost by 70%, even after factoring in the stipend.

Matt Margolis adds:

At first glance, it might sound counterintuitive that the Trump administration would offer $1,000 to illegal aliens who self-deport—but that’s exactly why the liberal media ran wild with it. They led with the cash payments, plastering them across headlines and opening paragraphs, hoping to spark outrage while conveniently glossing over the bigger picture. What they buried—on purpose—is that these stipends are part of a strategic effort to restore order at the border and save taxpayer dollars.

By encouraging voluntary departures through a streamlined process, the Trump administration is projected to slash deportation costs by up to 70%. It costs the government over $17,000 to arrest, detain, and remove someone through traditional deportation channels. Voluntary returns also sidestep the complex diplomatic negotiations typically required to get countries to accept their returning citizens. 

I don’t really care how illegals leave; just that they do. If we can bribe them with $1,000 and it saves us money, I’m all for it.

This is what I voted for.

I mentioned yesterday that my buddy Bruce Gust will be taking over the blog for the next few days as I take a break to visit the littles. He’s filled in for me several times over the last five years and I always appreciate it.

Bruce was at the center of a controversy earlier this year when he sang a unique rendition of the national anthem before a Nashville Predators v. Anaheim Ducks hockey game. Maybe you heard about it.

U.S. Marine Corps veteran Bruce Gust performed his own rendition of the anthem at the Bridgestone Arena before the Nashville Predators took on the Anaheim Ducks. He brought out bongos to help add a rhythmic beat to the song.

Ducks star Trevor Zegras joked that the unique performance affected his play at the start.

“I think the bongo anthem threw us off a little bit in the first,” Zegras said. “But once we recovered from that, we were back to our game, which was good.”

I personally thought the rhythmic rendition, while unique, was quite well done. In addition to being a musical artist, Bruce is also an author of several books. I recommend his “American Devotional Series: Part One: The Revolutionary War.” You can also check out his Muscular Christianity website, where he offers spiritual encouragement and physical fitness resources.

Thanks Bruce!

The Broadside | ‘The Rock’ is Back as My Vote Pays Dividends

Trump orders Alcatraz maximum security prison to reopen, rebuild and expand to house ‘America’s most ruthless and violent’ criminals.

President Donald Trump is calling for the notorious prison and now historical landmark, Alcatraz, in San Francisco, California, to be rebuilt larger and reopened to house the country’s most ruthless and violent criminals.

Trump made the announcement in a Truth Social post on Sunday evening.

“REBUILD, AND OPEN ALCATRAZ!” the president said. “For too long, America has been plagued by vicious, violent, and repeat Criminal Offenders, the dregs of society, who will never contribute anything other than Misery and Suffering.

“When we were a more serious Nation, in times past, we did not hesitate to lock up the most dangerous criminals, and keep them far away from anyone they could harm,” Trump continued, adding that it’s supposed to be this way. “No longer will we tolerate these Serial Offenders who spread filth, bloodshed, and mayhem on our streets.”

Trump is all in on reversing with intensity the indulgences of the prior administration. If Brandon allowed an invasion of foreigners without structure or oversight, then we’re going to arrest, imprison and deport them, and we’ll use the most notorious supermax prison to do it.

I’m all for reclaiming and reimagining that jetty of rock off the San Francisco coast. And it’s clear why Trump wants to do so:

Trump, in his social media post, said the country can’t be held hostage by “criminals, thugs, and Judges that are afraid to do their job and allow us to remove criminals, who came into our Country illegally.”

The Republican has railed against federal judges who have slowed his effort to boot alleged gangbangers and ship them off to the infamous El Salvador megaprison.

AP wrote, “Trump, returning to the White House on Sunday night after a weekend in Florida, said he’d come up with the idea because of frustrations with “radicalized judges” who have insisted those being deported receive due process. Alcatraz, he said, has long been a “symbol of law and order. You know, it’s got quite a history.”

Fine. If activist judges want to bottleneck Trump’s executive power, he’s got to find another way to deal with the threat. Funny enough, Don Jr. floated the idea of reopening Alacatraz back in January.

After his father’s announcement of creating a facility at the military base in Cuba to hold thousands of undocumented immigrants, Don Jr. tweeted, “Maybe we should also reopen Alcatraz?”

Being 1.25-miles from shore, Alcatraz has a reputation as being inescapable, even though 36 inmates tried and failed over 14 attempts during the years it was open (1934-1963). (There may have been three who made it in 1962, but there’s no definitive proof.) It used to hold some of America’s most violent and notorious criminals including gangsters James “Whitey” Bulger, Al Capone and George “Machine Gun” Kelly. It closed in 1963 after “island operations proved far more costly than mainland-based prisons.”

It’s both a symbolic and practical solution to a big problem.

Maybe Trump will hire some of El Salvador’s prison wardens to teach us how to handle the most violent offenders in our country. They’ll still get ‘due process,’ but we don’t need to make it pleasant for them.

A programming note: my buddy Bruce Gust will be filling in for me starting Wednesday as we visit with the littles. He’s always got good things to share with a Christian emphasis. My last post before break will be tomorrow.

The Broadside | The New Wave of Lawlessness Is Coming from Our Judiciary

When I was a kid, I was taught that if I ever got lost, I should find a policeman, who would help me get back to my mom and dad. There was implicit trust that law enforcement authorities were safe and would do the right thing.

How things have changed.

New Mexico Judge Joel M. Cano, Massachusetts Judge Shelley Richmond, and Wisconsin Judge Hannah Dugan made conscious, deliberate, and premeditated decisions to aid criminals, obstruct law enforcement, and desecrate the very system they were sworn to uphold.

In just a few days’ time, these three black-robed offenders committed what can only be described as acts of judicial treason against the American people.

And make no mistake: holding them fully accountable isn’t merely an option—it’s an absolute necessity.

It’s a necessity because if they’re allowed to get away with the alleged crimes then it confirms our system of justice is a collapsing two-tiered joke that “no one is above the law.”

Joel Cano, Shelley Richmond, and Hannah Dugan must be removed from office, disbarred, and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Anything less sends a deadly message to America: that the people enforcing the law can live above it.

They must face consequences—not because they made human errors—but because they made deliberate, calculated betrayals.

When those who have power to make decisions about how laws are enforced no longer follow the rule of law, then by definition they become lawbreakers. In other words, they become criminals just like those they are supposed to judge without tipping the scales of justice in one way or another.

In these cases, they were not just accomplices, but perpetrators themselves.

Dugan’s fellow Wisconsinite, Sen. Tammy Baldwin (Leftist), was incensed that a Lefty judge was arrested and charged with two felonies:

“Make no mistake, we do not have kings in this country and we are a democracy governed by laws that everyone must abide by,” Baldwin said.

Everyone, apparently, but illegal aliens and ideological judges.

My shocked face wore out in 2020 but it’s still bracing to see the knee-jerk denialism and breathless sky-is-falling catastrophizing from the Left.

What’s “not normal” Amy is that a sitting judge aided and abetted a criminal illegal alien’s escape from federal authorities. Our only response to Klobucher should be:

If Ms. Dugan wants to protect illegal aliens and help them evade ICE officials she just can’t do it in her judge’s robes. And if she can’t separate her personal activism from her official duties as an unbiased judge, then she must leave the court — voluntarily or involuntarily.

And either way she should pay the penalty for her criminal law breaking.

If you want to know why Leftist Democrats and Leftist judges want to prevent illegals from being deported, here’s all you need to see:

The Broadside | What is This Fetish That Democrats Have With Foreigners Here Illegally?

It boggles the mind that a Maryland Democrat senator goes all out for an illegally present, MS-13 gang member and human trafficker from El Salvador accused of beating his wife who was sent back to his country of origin—while ignoring the brutal 2023 murder of a 37-year-old mother of five by a different Salvadoran illegal immigrant, without so much as a full-throated denunciation.

Why is it that Sen. Chris Van Hollen traveled to El Salvador last week—most likely on the taxpayers’ dime—to try and win the release and return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia? Why isn’t he applauding the deportation of a foreigner who illegally crossed into the United States in 2011 and lived here for 14 years even though he was under deportation orders? And why are Democrats as a party outright opposing the efforts to repatriate the millions of foreigners who flooded our nation over the last four years during the reign of Joey Sponge-Brain and his Cast of Hannibal Lecters?

I’ll tell you why.

It’s because they’ve inhaled the toxic fumes of Marxist-based wokery and believe that the United States of America is a racist country that oppresses minorities and that it is a moral imperative to elevate the oppressed and crush the oppressor. Sen. Van Hollen sees his effort to reverse the Trump administration’s action as a noble virtue that expresses his contempt for the ruling class and identifies himself with the oppressed.

“Why is the government of El Salvador continuing to imprison a man where they have no evidence that he’s committed any crime and they have not been provided any evidence from the United States that he has committed any crime?” Van Hollen told reporters before Morin took the briefing room podium. “They should just let him go.”

Well, senator, it may be that the laws are different in El Salvador. Perhaps just being a member of MS13 is grounds for imprisonment; I hear that they’ve been rounding up gang members by the thousands under a state of emergency for the last couple of years. But you go right ahead and tell El Salvador who should and shouldn’t be in prison. Seems to be your thing.

It’s true that the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the Trump administration must “facilitate” Abrego Garcia’s return and “to ensure that his case is handled as it would have been had he not been improperly sent to El Salvador” due to an administrative error. But it’s also true that the court didn’t require the administration to “effectuate” his return.

I’m guessing the difference is that “facilitating” his return means cooperating with El Salvadore to return him to the US once he’s made available by El Salvador, whereas “effectuating” his return means that the administration is responsible to get him back—to make it happen—whether El Salvador wants to cooperate or not. It’s the difference between waiting for the other party to act or taking the initiative yourself.

(Of course, I don’t know the legal nuances of such words. I’m an opinion writer, not a lawyer. So, take what I think with a grain of salt.)

Our immigration system is not only broken, but overwhelmed. There is no way for us to process tens of millions of foreigners in a reasonable amount of time. Thousands of them are criminals.

If they are here illegally, the only way to reduce their presence quickly is to round them up and send them back to where they came from. Even if they’ve claimed asylum.

Will some of them sincerely fear for their lives? Yes. But the responsibility for that lies with the previous administration, which illegally facilitated (there’s that word again) the worst foreign invasion on American soil in our history.

They made the mess. We need to clean it up and quickly. Kick them all out and tell them to come back through legal channels.

And if they’re angry about it, tell them to talk to Mayorkas and Biden.

The Broadside | Believe it or not, We Didn’t Need Congress to Close the Border

When Brandon was in office, we were told that it would take an act of Congress to close the border against the illegal alien invasion. Get this … they lied to us.

President Donald Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, revealed a statistic on Presidents’ Day that indicates the United States is successfully cracking down on illegal crossings in a way not seen in decades.

“In the last 24 hours the US Border Patrol has encountered a total of 229 aliens across the entire southwest border. That is down from a high of over 11,000 a day under [President Joe] Biden,” Homan said in a post to X on Monday. “I started as a Border Patrol Agent in 1984 and I don’t remember the numbers ever being that low. President Trump promised a secure border and he is delivering.”

Look, ma! No congress!

All it took was a determined leader to put America first.

And the people are with Trump.

If you’re looking for a reason why Trump won so handily against Democratic candidate Kamala Harris, illegal immigration looms large. The online national I&I/TIPP Poll, taken from Jan. 29-31, asked 1,478 adults around the country four questions about Trump’s immigration policies and the actions he has taken so far. The poll has a margin of error of +/-2.6 percentage points.

The first question: “Do you support or oppose Trump’s promise of large-scale deportations of illegal migrants?” By a roughly 3-to-2 majority, voters back this idea. The actual numbers: 57% say they support it either “strongly” (35%) or “somewhat” (22%), while just 35% oppose it “strongly” (22%) or “somewhat” (13%). Another 8% aren’t sure.

How does that split with regard to political affiliation? Republicans (85% support, 11% oppose) and independents (54% support, 37% oppose) both gave strong backing.

What about the Democrats? A solid majority oppose it, at 59%, but 31% (nearly one in three) support it. And that support likely comes from two pillars of the Democratic Party: black voters (43% support, 45% oppose) and Hispanic voters (46% support, 44% oppose).

Even though Trump’s action has broad backing, he faces harassment from pro-invasion groups.

A pro-immigration group suing the Trump administration to unfreeze federal grants for immigration programs says its aim is to provide constitutionally protected due process rights for illegal aliens facing deportation. But the Amica Center for Immigrant Rights’ rhetoric—including in ads it runs on Facebook—suggests it has far more radical goals in mind.

The Washington, D.C., nonprofit, is running advertisements on Facebook soliciting donations to “disrupt Trump’s deportation machine” and to “stop Trump’s deportation dystopia.” Another ad says “See you in court, Trump,” a reference to a lawsuit that the Amica Center has filed to block President Donald Trump’s executive order, “Protecting the American People Against Invasion,” which paused funding for several Justice Department programs that provide legal services for illegal aliens.

Since the last fiscal year, the Amica Center has received nearly $9 million as a subcontractor to provide legal services through the Department of Justice’s Legal Orientation Program (LOP), which informs illegal aliens about immigration court proceedings, according to federal spending records. It is a subcontractor through the Acacia Center for Justice, a federally funded pro-immigration group that claims the immigration system is “intentionally designed” to exploit “Black and brown people.”

Starve them of funding and put them out of business.

Trump is delivering on his promise regarding illegal aliens in the country. He’s shut down the border and he’s deporting the worst of them.

And the country is behind him.

The Broadside | Trump Is Quickly Remaking American International Policy

Starting a third week of Team Trump that’s firing on all eight cylinders—let’s take a look at his international disruptions.

Trump slapped 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada and 10% on China over the weekend (to take effect Tuesday) with threats to increase the rates if the targeted countries don’t reel in illegal immigration and the deadly drug, fentanyl, which is sourced in China.

In the executive order, Trump said that the tariffs stem from an “extraordinary threat posed by illegal aliens and drugs, including deadly fentanyl, [that] constitutes a national emergency.”

The tariffs have invited international criticism from leaders and citizens alike in Canada and Mexico. During his exchange with reporters on Sunday evening, Trump accused Canada of being “abusive” toward the U.S. in terms of trade.

He was particularly blunt about Canada.

“Canada has been very abusive of the United States for many years. They don’t allow our banks,” Trump claimed. “And you know that Canada does not allow banks to go in, if you think about it. That’s pretty amazing. If we have a U.S. bank, they don’t allow them to go in.”

“Canada has been very tough for oil on energy. They don’t allow our farm products in, essentially. They don’t allow a lot of things in. And we allow everything to come in as being a one-way street.”

Trump also claimed that the U.S. subsidizes Canada “by the tune of about $200 billion a year.”

“And for what? What do we get out of it? We don’t get anything out of it,” he added. “I love the people of Canada. I disagree with the leadership of Canada and something is going to happen there.”

He’s got a point. Why do we subsidize our northern neighbor who simply takes advantage of the U.S. relationship? Why should U.S. taxpayers be supporting Canada without some benefit? Plus, Canada relies on the U.S. military for their protection. Okay, then, pony up, eh?

Trump also threatened the EU.

The Republican leader also said that he will “definitely” impose tariffs against the European Union, which he said the U.S. has a $300 billion trade deficit with.

“They don’t take our cars, they don’t take our farm products, they take almost nothing,” Trump said. “And we take everything from them. Millions of cars, tremendous amounts of food and farm products. So the UK is way out of line and we’ll see the UK, but the European Union is really out of line.”

Interestingly, he also said he was cutting off American money to South Africa, in a post on Truth Social.

In this article, we learn that “the United States obligated nearly $440 million in assistance to South Africa in 2023, the most recent US government data showed.”

During his first administration, Trump said the US would investigate unproven large-scale killings of white farmers in South Africa and violent takeovers of land. Pretoria at the time said Trump was misinformed. It is unclear whether the Trump administration carried out an investigation.

I don’t believe South Africa is aligned with our interests, so why do we send welfare checks to them?

Then there’s Greenland. Trump initially raised the idea of acquiring the island during his first term and is being loud about it in his second.

Veep JD Vance on Sunday refrained from setting expectations too high about President Trump’s chances of usurping Greenland from Denmark, although he still called it “possible” and dismissed European opposition.

Trump, 78, had set his sights on acquiring the icy island since his first administration and has rekindled those aspirations in recent weeks. Vance, 40, stressed Sunday that the territory is important for US security.

“I think it’s possible,” Vance added to Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures” when asked about whether the US will acquire Greenland.

“It’s really important to our national security. There are sea lanes there that the Chinese use, that the Russians use,” Vance said. “Frankly, Denmark, which controls Greenland, [is] not doing its job, and it’s not being a good ally.”

Trump is also adamant about reclaiming the Panama Canal. From the same article above:

The vice president also defended Trump’s objectives of reclaiming the Panama Canal.

“They have violated a core tenet of the agreement,” Vance said, referring to Panama. “When we gave over the Panama Canal to the country of Panama, what we said is, you have to make sure that this canal respects American sovereignty and that you don’t give special benefits to the Chinese.”

The US agreed to give the canal zone to Panama in the 1970s under late former President Jimmy Carter in exchange for the South American country agreeing to keep the key waterway between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans neutral.

Trump has long decried Cater’s decision to relinquish control of the canal, the construction for which was largely funded by the US.

On Sunday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio trekked over to Panama and met with Panamanian President José Raúl Mulino, saying he “made clear that this status quo is unacceptable,” according to a readout from the US.

There’s another reason why we need to control the Panama Canal.

The situation in the Panama Canal is worse than we thought. Not only does a Chinese company control container ports at each end of the waterway, but a Chinese construction battalion is slowly building a bridge right across the middle.

How slowly? Well, the bridge won’t be completed until 2027 and Sen. Ted Cruz thinks he knows why.

As Cruz, who is chairman of the Commerce Committee, noted at a hearing this week, “the partially-completed bridge gives China the ability to block the canal without warning…This situation poses acute risks to US national security.”

What kind of risks?

Imagine that China announces a blockade of Taiwan and that we want to surge forces from the Atlantic into the Pacific to counter it.

A US aircraft carrier is midway through the canal, passing under China’s bridge when, without warning, the unfinished bridge collapses, crushing the ship.

China pretends it’s an accident, offering its condolences to the families of the thousands of US sailors who lost their lives. Unable to break the blockade on its own, the island of Taiwan capitulates two months later, and the largest chip-manufacturing factory in the world falls into China’s hands.

Finally, as if he didn’t kick up enough dust yet, Trump weighed in on the conflict in Gaza and Israel with a stunning idea.

President Donald Trump recently floated a fantastic idea: Arab nations, he said, should accept large numbers of Gazans as refugees, a move that “could be temporary or long term.”

The accommodation would allow Israel to eliminate the remnants of Hamas, which, in turn, would allow the international community to rebuild Gaza.

Not only would such a policy enhance the prospects of peace, but it’s also humane.

Neither Jordan nor Egypt want the Palestinians in Gaza. But there is a compelling reason for Jordan to take them.

“Our rejection of the displacement of Palestinians is firm and will not change. Jordan is for Jordanians, and Palestine is for Palestinians,” the nation’s foreign minister said after Trump’s comments.

Well, the biggest problem with the statement is that it reminds us that Jordan is “Palestine.”

Jordan, with a population of over 70% Palestinians, sits principally on land set aside during the British Palestine Mandate to create a new Arab state that was to sit next to the Jewish one.

We already have a two-state solution. We just choose to ignore it.

What’s amazing is that no one else in recent memory has floated any of these ideas. Trump has not only promoted them, but has done so with an edge of belligerence. Who else has thought about our national security from the standpoint of the Arctic and China’s delcaration that they are esablishing a presence there? Who else has looked strategically at the Panama Canal and realized that China has set itself as a threat there, too? Who’s looking at our trade imbalances and doing something about it? Who has put American interests first?

Nobody. Nobody but Trump, that is.

Henry Kissinger once noted that Donald Trump, though he may not do it knowingly, was “one of those figures in history who appears from time to time to mark the end of an era and to force it to give up its old pretenses.”

And it is undeniable that many of Trump’s declarations, perhaps because they are unfettered by the norms of policy debate, end up changing the dynamics of policy.

Greenland. Panama. Canada. South Africa. Israel. Gaza. The EU. Mexico. China.

Trump is remaking American policy while we watch. It’s fascinating.

Daily Broadside | Brandon Wants to Import Palestinians Into US On Top Of the Millions of Foreigners He’s Already Forced On Us

Is there no limit to the destructive ends of this lawless “administration”?

White House considers accepting some Palestinians from Gaza as refugees amid Israel-Hamas war

People from Gaza who pass a series of eligibility, medical and security screenings would qualify to fly to the US with refugee status

The Biden administration is considering welcoming certain Palestinians to the U.S. as refugees as they seek to escape war-torn Gaza amid the ongoing war in the Middle East between Israel and Hamas.

Senior officials across several federal U.S. agencies have discussed in recent weeks the details of potential options to accept Palestinians from Gaza who have immediate family members who are American citizens or permanent U.S. residents, internal federal government documents show, according to CBS News.

One proposal involves using the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program to bring Palestinians with U.S. connections who have escaped Gaza and entered neighboring Egypt, the documents reveal.

U.S. officials have also considered welcoming additional Palestinians out of Gaza and are processing them as refugees if they have American relatives, according to the documents. This proposal would have to rely on coordination with Egypt, which has thus far been reluctant to welcome large numbers of people from Gaza.

Say, has anyone asked Egypt why they are “thus far reluctant” to take in Gazans?

Never mind, I’ll tell you. It’s because more than 70 percent of Palestinians believe the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack on Israel was justified. Egypt sure as heck doesn’t want any terrorist sympathizers in their country.

But the hacks running our country know that bringing them here fits perfectly with their plan to undermine our stability and freedoms. I mean, just look at the Pax Americana currently being expressed at our universities in mostly peaceful anti-semitic protests!

Yes, please, more of that!

Oh, and get a look at more of the lawless population displacement this completely treasonous junta is conducting.

The DHS data shows that during an 8 month stretch from January through August 2023, roughly 200,000 migrants flew into the U.S. via the program, with 80% of them, (161,562) arriving in the state of Florida in four cities: Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, Orlando, & Tampa.

The top 15 cities migrants flew into, & the numbers during this 8 month window, are below. 1) Miami, FL: 91,821 2) Ft. Lauderdale, FL: 60,461 3) New York City, NY: 14,827 4) Houston, TX: 7,923 5) Orlando, FL: 6,043 6) Los Angeles, CA: 3,271 7) Tampa, FL: 3,237 8) Dallas, TX: 2,256 9) San Francisco, CA: 2,052 10) Atlanta, GA: 1,796 11) Newark, NJ: 1,498 12) Washington, D.C.: 1,472 13) Chicago, IL: 496 14) Las Vegas, NV: 483 15) Austin, TX: 171

I’ve attached the raw DHS data provided in the subpoena response showing all of the locations the migrants flew into during these 8 months in the chart below.

DHS also revealed in the subpoena response that as of October 2023, there was a backlog about 1.6 million applicants waiting for DHS approval to fly to the U.S. via the parole program.

Why do you think they’ve flown the trespassing foreigners into these cities?

No, wait, I’ll tell you. It’s because they 1) will be hard to find and deport, 2) will turn the cities blue and bluer, and 3) will further stress our economy and welfare system. It’s all designed to break us down.

We’re experiencing the overthrow of our constitutional republic in real time.

Daily Broadside | Congress to Vote On Strongly Worded Document To Combat Foreign Invasion Over Southern Border

I’ve got a number for you today: 16 million.

Speaker Johnson Says 16 Million Illegal Immigrants Entered America Under Biden’s Watch
‘This is a disastrous situation,’ Mr. Johnson said. ‘It’s a catastrophe that was caused by intentional policy choices.’

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said Wednesday that official figures of around 9 million grossly underestimate the number of illegal immigrants who have entered the United States since President Joe Biden took office, and that he believes the true number is closer to 16 million.

Keep in mind that the official number of illegal aliens in America has been “11 million” for years. That doesn’t mean that the number is accurate — it most certainly isn’t — but Johnson’s number is roughly 150 percent more than what the government admits in its official reports.

So that puts us at 27 million illegal aliens based on “best guess” estimates. And the number is most certainly much, much higher than that.

Mr. Johnson made the remarks while speaking at a press conference on Capitol Hill on April 10, during which he announced plans for a vote later in the day on a resolution condemning the Biden administration’s “open border” policies.

“Since Joe Biden went into the Oval Office, it began on day one, they began to open that border wide,” the speaker said.

Oh noes! Not a “resolution” that does absolutely nothing to rein in this out-of-control communist government or that passes a law funding a border wall. Nope. Nosiree! But if you need 95 BILLION dollars to fund a war in Ukraine or to provide military funding for other countries, we’re all over it!

Otherwise, we’ll continue issuing strongly-worded letters and meaningless resolutions to show off our conservative cred as we troll you guys with how tough we are.

Remember, this is the Mike Johnson who just cast the tie-breaking vote kill the FISA warrant requirement and to “reauthorize the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act Section 702 warrantless surveillance authority for two more years.” This is the Mike Johnson who brokered an appropriations deal with Democrats “that cleared Congress last month to fund the government for fiscal year 2024,” and the “Democrats got everything they want[ed] in the spending.”

All of which led Rand Paul to say, “I’m not so sure there’s a difference between him being in charge and Dems being in charge.”

Right.

While our do-nothing UniParty Congress votes on “resolutions” that nobody will read or pay attention to (except historians sifting through the ashes of our country in the future), the Catastrophe-in-Chief just expanded a “temporary amnesty” to 1.2 million more foreigners squatting in our country.

Nearly 1.2 million foreign nationals are safe from deportation thanks to President Biden’s expansion of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) eligibility. 

This is a move Biden has taken since he came into office. He has added several countries to the TPS list. For example, almost half a million Venezuelans received expanded amnesty protection in 2021. Biden’s record has surpassed previous levels of expanding amnesty for foreign nationals, increasing the foreign-born population in the United States to a record high of an estimate of over 51 million. That surpasses previous levels that go back to 1970. 

According to the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS), the numbers are staggering. Since Biden took office, the number has increased by 6.4 million. 

“The foreign-born share of the U.S. population has more than tripled since 1970, nearly doubled since 1990, and is up 40 percent just since 2000,” CIS researchers wrote.

“Since President Biden took office in January 2021, the foreign-born population has grown by 6.4 million — larger than the individual populations of 33 states.”

These people hate us. The people in Washington, I mean. I suppose the hordes of illegals hate us too, but for different reasons.

From another part of the forest comes this unsurprising news:

Hey, I thought illegals voting was a racist conspiracy theory!

It’s amazing how all these conspiracy theories that us tin-foil-hatted-bitter-clinger-MAGA-nationalist-white-supremacist-racist-cis-normative-deplorables believe KEEP PROVING TRUE.

Anyway, here’s some of that sweet cultural enrichment that these swarming illegals bring to our land.

Daily Broadside | Your Citizenship No Longer Means What You Think

I’m going to extend yesterday’s rant about the criminal illegal aliens who are infecting our society with death and destruction at the invitation of B. Hussein Obama’s sock puppet, Brandon, fronting Obama’s third term and applying for a fourth. My thesis is that those currently in power are driven by all kinds of lust, including the lust for power, the lust for riches, and the lust for prestige. Their means is social upheaval with the goal of overthrowing our constitutional republic by any means necessary, and they don’t care who or what gets destroyed in the process.

How else do you explain things like the following?

Dressed in a pristine dark blue uniform, Ernesto Moron raised his right hand and swore to defend the constitution of a state he wasn’t born in but that he has called home for more than two decades. 

That December afternoon, the 26-year-old Mexican-born man became the first officer hired by the UC Davis Police Department under a 1-year-old California law that repealed the U.S. citizenship requirement to become a peace officer in the state.

“I was always told to be afraid of police officers because I would get deported,” Moron recently told CalMatters. “Now I want to help this community and help other people that are in my same shoes.” 

Before  the law took effect, California, like most states, had required its peace officers to be U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents who have applied for citizenship. 

So now we’re hiring non-citizens who haven’t taken an oath of citizenship and GIVING THEM A GUN to replace police officers that were scared off the job during the halcyon days of DEFUND THE POLICE?

Same is true in Illinois, but it’s not just DACA recipients, it’s any non-citizen who is allowed to work in the U.S. under federal law.

The measure—House Bill 3751—successfully passed the Democratic-controlled state House and the state Senate before being signed into law by the Democratic governor last week. The bill, which will come into force on January 1, 2024, allows eligible immigrants who are not in possession of U.S. citizenship to join law enforcement in Illinois—something that federal laws currently forbid.

So you, an American citizen, born and raised here, could be arrested by a foreigner who’s living here and is “eligible” to work for a law enforcement agency.

Then there’s this new incentive for illegal aliens to jump the border.

Undocumented immigrants in California could have a new path to homeownership
February 29, 2024 By Karen Garcia

Assemblymember Joaquin Arambula (D-Fresno) introduced Assembly Bill 1840 last month to expand the eligibility requirement for a state loan program to clarify that loans for first-time buyers are available to undocumented immigrants.

The California Dream for All Shared Appreciation Loans program that launched last March by the California Housing Finance Agency offered qualified first-time home buyers with a loan worth up to 20% of the purchase price of a house or condominium. The loans don’t accrue interest or require monthly payments. Instead, when the mortgage is refinanced or the house is sold again, the borrower pays back the original amount of the loan plus 20% of the increase in the home’s value.

“Undocumented immigrants.” Let me parse that for you: trespassers, border jumpers, illegal aliens, foreign invaders. They’re here without legal standing.

The current administration is going to take that euphemism and twist it even further from what it truly is: “undocumented immigrants” are now being referred to as “newcomers.”

[So-called] President Joe Biden’s White House has begun referring to border crossers and illegal aliens as “newcomers and “people who are in the country” — a terminology distinction that conflicts with federal immigration law.

On Thursday — while promoting a Senate bill to preserve his catch and release network at the United States-Mexico border — Biden’s White House made a passing reference to border crossers and illegal aliens, calling them “newcomers” to the U.S.

The White House fact sheet on the Senate bill reads:

The bill also includes $1.4 billion for cities and states who are providing critical services to newcomers, and would expedite work permits for people who are in the country and qualify. [Emphasis added]

Earlier this month, in a similar press release on the Senate bill, Biden’s White House touted billions that the legislation would provide to cities and states accepting these so-called “newcomers.”

It’s like a church or your monthly town hall board meeting: Any “newcomers” here? It completely does away with any distinction between an American citizen and a foreigner who is here illegally.

In essence, it empties the notion of “citizenship” of any meaning, as do all of these other conveniences and opportunities being offered to illegal aliens. And it pokes American citizens in the eye, essentially telling them that their citizenship is worthless. You’re no better than a foreigner who’s squatting here because we’re giving them the same privileges you have.

Finally, there’s this from New York:

In [so-called] President Joe Biden’s America, illegal migrants get a five-star treatment while law-abiding U.S. citizens take a back seat. 

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-N.Y.) is trying to fast-track her plans of getting illegal aliens at the front of the line for government jobs. 

New York would be the first state in the nation to make it easier for asylum-seekers with work authorization to obtain government jobs. Hochul told Politico that she is “anxious to get this moving quickly.” 

The Democrat’s administration is easing requirements for such jobs as, English language proficiency, education qualifications, and certification for more than 4,000 state government jobs. The long-standing requirement of needing to take the civil service exam and have a high school diploma for applicants to be considered has also been eliminated. 

The goal of the proposal is to get illegal aliens into state jobs faster once they get approved work permits.

Do you realize what’s happening? You’re literally being replaced. Our rulers are beginning to staff government and law enforcement — two agencies with a monopoly on power — with NON-CITIZENS, meaning FOREIGNERS, and making it easy for them to purchase homes in your neighborhoods.

How do you think that’s going to work out? Do you think they have any sense of or commitment to what we would consider American justice and responsibility? Do you really think that non-Americans give a rat’s patootie about you and your appeal to American law?

Why would they?

The progressives, leftists, Democrats, and cultural Marxists hate you and are doing their best to upend traditional, historical American culture and society. And they’re doing it, with lots more to come.

Have a good weekend.

Daily Broadside | 10 Million Foreigners Have Illegally Entered the U.S. Since January 2021

Wasn’t it great being America? I remember it like it was yesterday.

Nearly 7.3 million migrants have illegally crossed the southwest border under President Biden’s watch, a number greater than the population of 36 individual states, a Fox News analysis finds.

That figure comes from US Customs and Border Protection, which has already reported 961,537 border encounters in the current fiscal year, which runs from October through September.

If the current pace of illegal immigration does not slow down, fiscal year 2024 will break last year’s record of 2,475,669 southwest border encounters — a number that by itself exceeds the population of New Mexico, a border state. 

The total number of southwest land border encounters since Biden assumed office in 2021 is 7,298,486, CBP data shows. 

And where does the 10,000,000 number come from? The “gotaways.”

And the total does not include an estimated additional 1.8 million known “gotaways” who evaded law enforcement, which would make it bigger than New York. 

Taken together, nearly 10 million migrants have crossed into the US illegally during the Biden administration, a record Biden’s critics assert could only be achieved by intentionally refusing to enforce the law. 

Ya think?

Joseph Robinette Biden Jr., is an incompetent, arrogant, outrageous, treasonous, and intentionally subversive of American sovereignty and law. This appalling dereliction of duty should rightfully have him impeached and thrown out of office.

But he poses like his hands are tied and tries to blame Republicans for the open borders, when he in fact is the author of the situtation. Now he says he’s considering taking action without Congress, which implies that he’s going to be the hero.

But he has all the authority he needs already. This subversion isn’t without purpose. Why do you think the Democrats are doing this?

They’re doing it to replace white, middle class Americans as the majority. They’re importing voters, even if they have to do it illegally — and they are. They’re importing a class of people who have no interest in being “American” but who will gladly take the handouts that the government will give them. And those 10 million “black and brown bodies” will reproduce offspring quickly, creating anchor babies, and before you know it, those 10 million will be 20 or 30 million as chain migration takes hold.

Welcome to the third world.

Unfortunately, we no longer live in a nation of laws that are carried out impartially by men of integrity and honor. We are subject instead to a fusion of politicians and business titans that imposes its will on us through an abuse of the law, applied to the oligarchy’s enemies.

Brandon is merely a figurehead. He isn’t smart enough to be this dastardly; but he is petty and contemptible enough to do what his masters direct him to do.

The best thing that could happen is that he is removed from office this November. Good luck.

Have a good weekend.
