Daily Broadside | We’re Going to See If Texas Stands Tall

This statement has a feel similar to the Declaration of Independence ennumerating the “long train of abuses and usurpations” endured by the American people.

GOVERNOR GREG ABBOTT
January 24, 2024

The federal government has broken the compact between the United States and the States. The Executive Branch of the United States has a constitutional duty to enforce federal laws protecting States, including immigration laws on the books right now. President Biden has refused to enforce those laws and has even violated them. The result is that he has smashed records for illegal immigration.

Despite having been put on notice in a series of letters–one of which I delivered to him by hand–President Biden has ignored Texas’s demand that he perform his constitutional duties.

* President Biden has violated his oath to faithfully execute immigration laws enacted by Congress. Instead of prosecuting immigrants for the federal crime of illegal entry, President Biden has sent his lawyers into federal courts to sue Texas for taking action to secure the border.

* President Biden has instructed his agencies to ignore federal statutes that mandate the detention of illegal immigrants. The effect is to illegally allow their en masse parole into the United States.

* By wasting taxpayer dollars to tear open Texas’s border security infrastructure, President Biden has enticed illegal immigrants away from the 28 legal entry points along this State’s southern border– bridges where nobody drowns–and into the dangerous waters of the Rio Grande.

Under President Biden’s lawless border policies, more than 6 million illegal immigrants have crossed our southern border in just 3 years. That is more than the population of 33 different States in this country. This illegal refusal to protect the States has inflicted unprecedented harm on the People all across the United States.

James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, and the other visionaries who wrote the U.S. Constitution foresaw that States should not be left to the mercy of a lawless president who does nothing to stop external threats like cartels smuggling millions of illegal immigrants across the border. That is why the Framers included both Article IV, sec. 4, which promises that the federal government “shall protect each [State] against invasion,” and Article I, sec 10, Clause 3, which acknowledges “the States’ sovereign interest in protecting their borders.” Arizona v. United States, 567 U.S. 387, 419 (2012) (Scalia, J., dissenting).

The failure of the Biden Administration to fulfill the duties imposed by Article IV, sec. 4 has triggered Article I, sec. 10, Clause 3, which reserves to this State the right of self-defense. For these reasons, I have already declared an invasion under Article I, sec. 10, Clause 3 to invoke Texas’s constitutional authority to defend and protect itself. That authority is the supreme law of the land and supersedes any federal statutes to the contrary. The Texas National Guard, the Texas Department of Public Safety, and other Texas personnel are acting on that authority, as well as state law, to secure the Texas border.

Greg Abbott
Governor of Texas

This is a showdown, the SCOTUS decision the other day notwithstanding.

Oh, but they are doing something.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Thursday said he will add more razor wire at the U.S.-Mexico border to prevent more illegal immigrants from entering the United States, coming after the U.S. Supreme Court sided with the Biden administration and allowed federal agents to cut the wire.

“We are adding more razor wire as we speak right now to make sure that we are doing even more to secure the border,” the Texas Republican said in an interview Thursday with Bloomberg TV.

The governor said his state has the authority to defy the U.S. government under the U.S. Constitution because its authors—the Founding Fathers—believed that “there would be times when the federal government does not do its job and states have a right of self-defense.”

In fact, Abbott taking charge and leading the way has inspired 25 other states to support his effort. With Texas, that makes it a MAJORITY of states opposing Brandon’s open border. How’s that for “muh’ democracy”?

It’s a confrontation between two power centers — the state v. the federal government. This is how our first civil war started. A second may be churning under the surface as the two sides square off.

Have a good weekend.

Daily Broadside | What Dirt Does the Deep State Have on Amy Coney Barrett?

Some “””conservative.”””

The Supreme Court voted 5–4 vote to allow U.S. Border Patrol agents to remove razor wire that was set up along the U.S.–Mexico border by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, while a legal challenge plays out.

In a brief order, the high court vacated a ruling issued in mid-December 2023 by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit. Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, and Brett Kavanaugh voted to deny the application to vacate that lower court injunction, which would have prevented Border Patrol agents from removing the barrier.

Chief Justice John Roberts, along with Justices Amy Coney Barrett, Ketanji Brown Jackson, Elena Kagan, and Sonia Sotomayor, sided with the Biden administration. No one provided an explanation for their vote.

Roberts is completely unreliable and blows with the wind of political opinion. Coney Barrett, hailed as a rock-solid Catholic conservative, is proving to be a huge disappointment and just as unreliable.

With an invasion of massive proportions, she says it’s just dandy for the federal government to remove razor wire barriers to allow foreigners unimpeded access to the country. If we were processing the illegals and deporting them or testing their claims of hardship, that would be one thing, but we’re in the middle of a full on invasion that is being facilitated by the United States governement.

We’re under occupation by a ruling class that has no interest in enforcing the law.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton isn’t giving up yet, promising “that ‘the fight is not over’ after the Supreme Court granted an emergency appeal by the Biden administration to allow Border Patrol agents to resume cutting razor wire set up by Texas at the southern border.”

“The Supreme Court’s temporary order allows Biden to continue his illegal effort to aid the foreign invasion of America,” Paxton said in a statement to Fox News Digital. 

“The destruction of Texas’s border barriers will not help enforce the law or keep American citizens safe,” he said. “This fight is not over, and I look forward to defending our state’s sovereignty.”

Since when is a State not allowed to secure its borders? When is it not allowed to protect its citizens? In what way does “federal” law trump “state” law?

If you recall, the first Civil War got started as a dispute over States’ rights. Could this be the flashpoint that starts a new clash? Citizens have had enough too:

TakeOurBorderBack.com

After what the Deep State has put us through with its lying and destruction of evidence while sentencing ordinary Americans to lengthy jail terms over January 6, I’m surprised and pleased that there are still Americans willing to confront the government. But how much you want to bet that anyone who shows up will be photographed, identified, hunted down, arrested, detained indefinitely and then tried and sentenced for treason and sedition in opposing the government’s will?

Once Trump is the nominee, we have to put aside all bickering and close ranks behind him. If Trump is not elected, we face the destruction of our republic and the banishing if not outright national cleansing of conservatives and Christians. There is no room for error.

Politics has become a brawl. We need a fighter. Trump is our last best hope.

Daily Broadside | I Live In A Foreign Country Now

Oh sure, we still mostly speak English and I don’t have any problem driving on the right side of the road, and I can still go out to a restaurant and understand the waitress. But it’s obvious to anyone who’s paying attention that the America of the last generation is gone. You may think that I’m being overly dramatic, but I assure you—it’s gone.

We are being overrun by foreigners, an act that is being enabled by an elite ruling class that hates America and is comfortably ensconced in their positions of power, prestige and wealth, far away from the effects of their ruinous decisions that are wreaking havoc on the rest of us.

2K migrants evacuated from Floyd Bennett Field ahead of storm: officials

BROOKLYN, N.Y. (PIX11) — Thousands of migrants were evacuated from Floyd Bennett Field in Brooklyn to ride out a potential rainstorm on Tuesday night, officials said.

Approximately 2.000 migrants were moved from Floyd Bennett Field in Flatbush to James Madison High School on Tuesday afternoon, according to the Office of Emergency Management. Roughly 40 Department of Education buses were in the evacuation, according to the OEM.

The asylum seekers spent the night in the school’s gymnasium before returning to Floyd Bennett Field on Wednesday morning, officials said. The field began housing about 2,000 migrants last year.

Officials said the move comes over concerns of high winds and flooding that are expected to hit the area.

“The health and safety of migrants in our care is always a top priority, which is why we are currently overseeing the relocation of 1,900 guests from the humanitarian emergency response and relief center at Floyd Bennett Field due to an updated forecast with increased wind speeds estimated to be at over 70 MPH tonight,” a City Hall spokesperson said in a statement.

A strong storm system moved through the area later Tuesday, bringing heavy rain and damaging winds to portions of the tri-state area.

I notice the article doesn’t say anything about the 3,000 students at James Madison High School. Aren’t Tuesday and Wednesday school days?

Students at a Brooklyn high school were kicked out of the classroom to make room for nearly 2,000 migrants who were evacuated from a controversial tent shelter due to a monster storm closing in on the Big Apple.

The city made the move amid concerns that a massive migrant tent at Floyd Bennett Field would collapse from torrential rains and gusting winds — packing them instead into the second-floor gym at James Madison High School five miles away. 

The school’s neighbors were not keen on the last-minute decision.

“This is f—ed up,” said a local resident who identified himself only as Rob. “It’s a litmus test. They are using a storm, a legitimate situation, where they are testing this out. I guarantee you they’ll be here for the entire summer.

“There’s 1,900 people getting thrown into my neighborhood, half a block from where I live and we don’t know who they are,” he said.

“They’re not vetted. A lot of them have criminal records and backgrounds and we don’t even know.”

Sounds like “Rob” is a raging racist xenophobe! Doesn’t he know that “the health and safety of migrants in our care is always a top priority”? Foreigners are being prioritized over native citizens, “Rob.”

Plus, learning remotely worked so well during the Covid lockdowns!

One irate mom even went off on the migrants as they pulled up in a line of school buses in the pouring rain shortly before 6 p.m.

“How do you feel? Does it feel good?” the woman, who only identified herself as Michelle, screamed at the buses.

“How does it feel that you kicked all the kids out of school tomorrow? Does it feel good? I hope you feel good. I hope you will sleep very well tonight!”

Said a local man, “How do you feel stealing American tax money?”

Whoa! So much white supremacy and hatred of brown and black bodies!

Getting the children who were in that field into a shelter that offered more protection is basic human decency, but this is a great example of how our ruling class is burdening us, the American citizens, with the influx of foreign nationals.

If there weren’t 3.8 MILLION foreigners illegally waltzing into our country since Bradon illegitmately took office, this wouldn’t be a problem.

One of my readers commented yesterday on my article about the Xfinity bill I posted two days ago:

Our grandson’s middle school in Elmhurst has decided this year to make English as a second language. They let the principal (who had been there for years and everyone loved) go because she didn’t speak Spanish and brought in a new person who does. At our Granddaughter’s 8th grade graduation in May (from the same middle school) over half the class was Hispanic. They bus kids in from lower income areas so they can please the diversity squad. The liberals in town love it. Sara said there were fights everyday mostly among the Hispanic girls. Makes me very, very sad that this is what we’ve come to.

My response:

Dave Olsson says:
January 10, 2024 at 2:28 pm Edit

Your grandson and granddaughter will grow up in a foreign country. Not that they will move to one, but one will be force-fit onto this one.

I should have said they will live in a foreign country but, whatever, I’m not kidding.

The majority of Americans will not be white by 2045, according to data that highlights the US’ increasingly diverse population.

An analysis of census data by the think-tank Brookings Institution estimates that white people will comprise less than 50 percent of the US population for the first time in history in little over two decades.

The majority of the population will be made up of minority ethnicities: 24.6 percent for Hispanics, 13.1 percent for blacks, 7.9 percent for Asians, and 3.8 percent for multiracial populations, the analysis claims.

What could possibly be driving this monumental shift?

The shrinking white population can be explained both by higher levels of immigration among people in working age, as well as an influx of immigrant women of childbearing age.

Following a dip during the Covid pandemic, immigration through the southern border is up. The US Border Patrol reported more than 1.6 million encounters with migrants along the border with Mexico in the 2021 fiscal year, more than quadruple the number of the prior fiscal year and the highest annual total on record. 

By 2060, the census projects whites will comprise only 36 percent of the under-18 population, with Hispanics accounting for 32 percent.

You don’t say.

You. Don’t. Say.

I could handle this if the change was coming because of legal immigration. But this is an intentional sabotage of the white American majority with a plan to make all of these foreigners Democrat voters.

But Mr. Chairman, that’s the whole point. This is what’s going on, folks, at home. If you’re trying to figure this out, if you’re scratching your heads, you’ve seen the video, you see droves of people, 2.4 million people coming over the border illegally, the president allowing, the Democrats in charge of Congress are allowing it, the deal is they’re going to turn them into voters. You just heard it. They don’t have any problem with that. They celebrate it. Here’s the deal. We have a problem with it. The Constitution has a problem with it. American elections should be decided by American citizens.

That’s it. That’s what this is about. That’s why we’re jumping up and down and screaming, my friends on the video who are commenting about this. That’s why we’re so upset, because our constituents are frightened that we are losing our country. We’re losing our security, we’re losing our sovereignty, because we’re going to allow people from 160 different countries around the world to come in here and decide our elections. That’s it. Here it is on record. You all heard it.”

If you’re white, you’re not allowed to have a country of your own because you’re a hateful colonizer, bigot! Only black and brown bodies are allowed to colonize now.

Welcome to North Central America.

Daily Broadside | A Recent Mailer Tells Me All I Need to Know About Immigration

We continue to be overrun by an invasion of foreigners who aren’t coming here because they want to be part of the Great American Experiment.

Aside from tax cuts and a tireless bloodlust for forever wars, there’s one thing Republicans of the bygone Bush era never tire of — the mass importing of destitute foreigners who neocons swear are nothing less than patriotic Americans at heart, just itching for a chance to make a meaningful contribution to a country they so dearly love.

It’s beyond childish. What we’ve learned over the course of decades, but particularly in recent months, is that a substantial portion, if not the vast majority of Central and South American migrants thrusting themselves into U.S. taxpayer care is that they view this country as little more than an apartment upgrade.

They’ve switched neighborhoods, not lifestyles.

The problem of immigration has been going on for decades but, with the current junta in power, it’s being exacerbated beyond what anyone would have dreamed. You may have noticed that neither the Democrats NOR THE REPUBLICANS have made any serious attempt at stanching the flow of illegals. Where are the bills to overhaul our immigration system? Where are the calls to immediately close our borders to any trespassers?

Their collaboration on illegal immigration is a perfect example of the Uniparty, which exists to keep its members in power.

With that in mind, take a look at the piece of mail I received this past week from Xfinity, the Internet provider who connects me to this blog. They want to get more of their customers to join their mobile services.

Notice anything about it that might present an issue for me?

I don’t speak Spanish. I mean, un poco, but only the bit I learned in seventh grade Spanish class, like “arroz con pollo.” Other than that, this bulk advertisement is mostly indecipherable to me. Fortunately for me, Xfinity included an English version of the advertisement on the other side.

Let me point out a couple of more things about this mailer, and then explain why I’m making this an issue. First, when I took the mailer out of the envelope, it was folded so that the Spanish language side was up.

Normally I get advertisements in English. If there’s another language, it’s treated as secondary, as a translation of the primary language, usually on the back. This was reversed.

At first I thought it was a mistake. But, no, it was intentional.

You know how I know? Because my name and address are printed on the Spanish language side of the advertisement. You know how else I know? Because the envelope in which the advertisement was delivered is also printed with a promo in Spanish on the envelope:

I also know that this was intentional because Xfinity cannot know who reads English and who reads Spanish and who reads both. That’s why Xfinity included both English and Spanish versions. It’s not like my name was accidently added to the “Spanish-speakers” mail file.

And it can’t be that Xfinity is just throwing thousands of mailers to the wind and hoping to catch some new customers. The fine print says that the offer is for, “Existing Xfinity customers with a plan that has been active more than 90 days only.”

Xfinity is clearly not assuming English as the primary language. So here’s my question: why did Xfinity choose to bulk mail an advertisement to who-knows-how-many customers that is clearly targeting Spanish-speaking people?

I can only think of three reasons:

  1. My region is now majority Central American and I’m a minority. That would be news to me but, given the open border over the last three years, unsurprising.
  2. Xfinity has gone woke and they are now prioritizing “brown and black bodies” over white ones, no matter the racial make up of my region. How racist of them.
  3. Spanish-speakers have more money to spend than I do.

Maybe it’s a combination of all three. Whatever the strategy, it underscores the changing demographics of the United States, and that’s why I’m calling your attention to it.

The United States was founded as an English-speaking nation. Even as we grew in size and population, we remained a largely European-immigrant, English-speaking country. When other immigrants arrived, they either had to know English or learn English to thrive in their new home. We didn’t cater to every newcomer and print foreign languages on our signs or our products. If you wanted to “be an American,” you learned the primary language of your adopted home.

But the cultural Marxists and anti-Americans don’t want us to be a homogenus nation that is bound together by a common language or creed. They tell us that being “American” is racist and full of white supremacy. When anyone has tried to pass legislation that would make English the official language of the United States, it is often opposed,

“as a veiled attempt to promote racism and bigotry, rather than an attempt to unify a country. They argue that English-only legislation creates a negative image of non-English speakers, and increases intolerance and hostility toward cultural diversity.”

Ah, yes. Cultural diversity, the Marxist trope that for us to be a moral force for good in this world, we have to be “diverse.” Nothing says unity so clearly as diversity does.

Efforts to make English the official language of the US have been going on for decades. As recently as March 2023, U.S. Senators Kevin Cramer (R-ND) and JD Vance (R-OH) introduced a bill to to establish English as the official language of the United States. The bill is intended:

To declare English as the official language of the United States, to establish a uniform English language rule for naturalization, and to avoid mis-constructions of the English language texts of the laws of the United States, pursuant to Congress’ powers to provide for the general welfare of the United States and to establish a uniform rule of naturalization under article I, section 8, of the Constitution.

But have you heard that such a bill was being considered? You haven’t?

You don’t say.

I guess Mitch McConnell is too busy keeping his pals in Ukraine swimming in cash, squashing true conservative candidates at the polls, and bankrupting the country to worry about a little ol’ thing like national unity.

Getting that Xfinity bill in the mail surprised me because it’s direct evidence that I’m being displaced. I have to flip the page to get a translation, not the immigrant, because it’s not written with me in mind. I’m secondary.

That’s the goal of progressives—and the fact that they’re succeeding makes me a little sad and a little angry.

Daily Broadside | Progressive Agitator Alejandro Mayorkas Projects His Massive “Failure of Governance” Onto Greg Abbott

The cultural Marxists, Leftists, racialists, Democrats, progressives, diversity enthusiasts and far left activists are all good at one thing: projection. You can be sure that anything they accuse you of or criticize you for is exactly what they are guilty of.

Department of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas has just provided a clear cut case of the pot calling the kettle black.

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas called out Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Wednesday, labeling his migrant bussing policy “a remarkable failure of governance.” 

Mayorkas, who faces impeachment proceedings in the House for his handling of the illegal immigration crisis, blamed Abbott, a Republican, for failing to cooperate with officials in Democrat-led cities that have been overwhelmed by migrant arrivals. 

“Let me identify one fundamental problem here, and that is the fact that we have one governor in the state of Texas who is refusing to cooperate with other governors and other local officials,” Mayorkas said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”  

Emphasizing the need for the country to “stand united” on immigration, Mayorkas said that “it’s a remarkable failure of governance to refuse to cooperate with one’s fellow local and state officials.” 

My mind is simply reeling with an avalanche of thoughts — so many that my brain is sputtering. I mean, the audacity!

Mayorkas is being impeached because of his massive “failure of governance” to secure the border. Not only has he not secured the border, he has facilitated the invasion of a horde of foreigners, which is at the root of Abbott’s bussing tactic.

House Republicans have blamed Mayorkas as the border crisis has worsened under his leadership. The Homeland Security Committee will hold its first impeachment hearing into the secretary on Jan. 10 as Republicans accuse Mayorkas of refusing to enforce immigration laws.

For years Texas and other border states have borne the brunt of our government’s intentional, criminal, unconstitutional and anti-American policies that allow foreigners to simply walk over the border and traipse into America without discrimination, investigation, examination, prosecution or follow up. In fact, not only do they not prevent them from entering, they facilitate their journey by ferrying these foreigners all over the country in the dead of night and dropping them off in unsuspecting communities.

For Mayorkas to accuse Greg Abbott of “a remarkable failure of governance” is simply beyond the pale. You want “cooperation”? Then cooperate with the border states by keeping illegals out. You want to bail out your buddies in Democrat-led cities? Then tell them to quit showboating as “sanctuary cities” in defiance of our laws.

Greg Abbott has called the Democrats’ bluff, basically saying, “You boasted about what a compassionate city you were, offering sanctuary to foreigners who are here illegally. Well, since you claim the moral high ground, we’ve got plenty of illegals here to send you. Have at it.”

He’s forcing the progressive Democrats (are there any other kind these days?) and cultural Marxists (but I repeat myself) to live up to their own rules.

“4.  ‘Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.’  You can kill them with this, for they can no more obey their own rules than the Christian church can live up to Christianity.“
(Saul Alinsky, Rules for Radicals)

Apart from a fundamental misunderstanding of Christianity, which is not about rule-keeping, this Alinsky tactic is quite effective at undermining confidence and creating a hot seat of hypocrisy. Abbott is forcing mayors like Brandon Johnson (Chicago) and Eric Adams (New York City) to obey their own rules. If Alinsky is right, they won’t be able to. Both of them are complaining about the busloads of immigrants, they claim to have no place to put them, and they’re impounding busses from Texas.

Racists! Xenophobes!

Mayorkas and his ilk are seeding our destruction by widely dispersing foreigners among us to dilute and then replace the founding Anglo-Saxon culture that built America into the greatest economic, political and military power the world has ever seen. And they have made great progress.

Abbott is one of the few who understand this and is fighting fire with true governance.

Progressives are shameless hacks who accuse others of doing what they themselves are doing. And they do it with absolutely no sense of irony or self-awareness.

Daily Broadside | Wait … I Walked All The Way Here and There’s No Television!?!

We live in an upside down world.

Illegal immigrants are warning each other to stay away from New York’s new “tent city” for migrants which is located at Floyd Bennett Field. They say the controversial Brooklyn shelter is “crazy” and “not suitable for children” which has prompted families to either flee the site and/or refuse to be transported there.

This has created a significant problem because this site, which is made up of four congregate sleeping dorms that can hold up to 2,000 people, is currently the only shelter the city is offering to illegal immigrants with children, according to the New York Post.

Let me get this straight. People who have entered the United States ILLEGALLY are “refusing” to stay at the shelters Americans have paid for and erected to house them and “this has created a significant problem”?

Dude, the “significant problem” is that these people are in this country in the first place.

A Venezuelan couple who arrived in the Big Apple with their three small children a few days ago said that they refused to be transported to Floyd Bennett after another illegal migrant family had warned them about the facility.

“They said they were going to send us to Floyd Bennett Field yesterday,” the 23-year-old father told the Post.

“We did not go because we already know the situation over there. We saw people returned with children. They say it’s not suitable there. There is nothing there…not even a television,” he said.

I don’t even know what to say. Imagine someone breaking in and squatting in your home, then complaining that you suck as a host because there’s no Bud Light in the fridge. Besides telling them that you no longer buy Bud Light, you’d tell them they were the most entitled ingrates you’d ever seen and to get the <censored> out of your home.

The Venezuelan family had been sleeping on chairs at The Roosevelt Hotel in Midtown Manhattan before they were told to relocate to Floyd Bennet Field. But since they refused the offer, the parents say that they might have to sleep on the streets with their children ages 5, 3, and 10 months.

“They told me that if we didn’t take that address…they couldn’t help us and we were going to stay on the streets or go to another city in the United States,” the father told the outlet.

The mother explained that the City won’t help them since they rejected the offer. The family was bused to the Big Apple after illegally entering the US through Texas.

“We arrived four days ago and they sent us to the tent and we rejected it so they don’t want to help. They don’t want to show us anywhere else,” she said in tears.

The father said he would rather sleep in the hotel lobby and added, “Right now we have nowhere to stay. Sleeping in the chair is the safest thing I see. We are going to be on the streets with the babies.”

The mother has the sadz because no one is HeLPiNg HeR after rejecting attempts to HeLP hER. Her husband is fine with sleeping on a chair in a hotel lobby. It sounds like they may need some marriage counseling.

I truly wonder what this family thought they were going to get when they traipsed across the southern border illegally. A red carpet? Slippers, cigar and smoking jacket? A new car from Oprah and an Xbox for the kids?

In what world does a foreigner waltz into another country and start demanding television and better accomodations?

An upside down world.

A world in which the government of the native people has invited an invasion of foreign nationals to displace the current population, degrade the country’s uniqueness and exceptionalism, and import a horde of new voters who will keep the kleptocrats in power until they no longer need the voters and rule with an increasingly iron fist.

How sad that these interlopers think they’ll have a better life here.

Have a good weekend.

Daily Broadside | Illegal Aliens Will Cost Us $451 Billion Per Year

Our southern border is non-existent, the federal government having abandoned any pretense of providing for the common defense. Everything is political now, and the hordes of third-world peasants and fit young men from enemy countries are invading at the express invitation of the Democrats and their like-minded anti-Americans in the media and institutions of “higher” learning as they seek to undermine and degrade America’s dominance on the world stage.

Cloaked in risible bumper sticker slogans like #DiversityIsOurStrength and #NoOneIsIllegal, the onslaught is exacting a toll on us.

Caring for illegal aliens currently within the United States could cost American taxpayers up to $451 billion per year, a Monday interim staff report from House Republicans has concluded.

Originally obtained by the New York Post, the 49-page report entitled “The Historic Dollar Costs of DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas’ Open-Border Policies” became public the same day that the House voted to refer a resolution to impeach the eponymous security official to the Homeland Security Committee.

A vote to impeach that was blocked by Democrats and eight Republicans.

“Every day, millions of American taxpayer dollars are spent on costs directly associated with illegal immigration and the unprecedented crisis at the Southwest border sparked by Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas’ policies,” the report begins. “Only a small fraction is ever recouped from the taxes paid by illegal aliens, with the rest falling on the shoulders of American citizens and lawful residents.”

“Mass illegal immigration, accelerated by Mayorkas’ open-borders policies, now represents a massive cost to the federal government and state governments alike, as well as the pocketbooks of private citizens and businesses,” it continues. “The range of costs inflicted by Mayorkas’ border crisis cover everything from emergency medical care to increased demands on law enforcement to housing and shelter benefits for illegal aliens.”

Illegal aliens pay taxes, but they are dwarfed by the outlay from the American taxpayer.

In the end, Republicans drew damning conclusions about Mayorkas’ job performance from the data.

“It is morally unacceptable that American taxpayer dollars should be funneled to those who violate our laws and demand expansive, taxpayer-funded benefits like education, health care, housing, and more,” the report went on. “Many of these individuals will likely represent a drain on American society for the remainder of their days in the United States, constantly absorbing more benefits from the state than they ever contribute–to say nothing of the fact that they have no lawful basis to remain in the country to begin with.”

Just because it’s a partisan report doesn’t mean it isn’t true.

Right on cue, Trump has promised to deport the masses should he win another term in the White House.

Former President Donald Trump is planning a widespread expansion of his first administration’s hardline immigration policies if he is elected to a second term in 2024, including rounding up undocumented immigrants already in the US and placing them in detention camps to await deportation, a source familiar with the plans confirmed to CNN.

The plans, first reported by The New York Times, would necessitate building large camps to house migrants waiting for deportation and tapping federal and local law enforcement to assist with large-scale arrests of undocumented immigrants across the country.

Should Congress refuse to fund the operation, Trump could turn to a tactic used in his first term to secure more funding for a border wall — redirecting funds from the Pentagon, the source confirmed.

It’s insane.

In a sane world, Mayorkas would be fired and replaced by the president for his failure to secure the southern border. About 8 million illegal aliens have crossed the border during Biden’s time in office, including about 2 million who are gotaways, the ones that no one knows where they are. They didn’t turn themselves into Border Patrol. They ran and spread out through the country. This is Biden’s world and nothing is sane. He did away with the immigration policies in place at the border on his first day in office. He was desperate to prove he was not like the previous president. Word spread quickly and before anyone knew it, the southern border was overwhelmed with illegal immigrants. The rest is history.

Daily Broadside | Trump Was Right, Of Course: Mexico (and Other Countries) Aren’t Sending Us Their Best

I received my copy of Overrun: How Joe Biden Unleashed the Greatest Border Crisis in U.S. History by Todd Bensman today. From the back cover: “Americans never voted for their [the radical ideologues] experiment or the irrevocable consequences that immediately waylaid a surprised nation.” I’m anxious to read it along with a couple of other books on the third-world invasion being perpetrated by the anti-Americans in this administration, facilitated by the supine do-nothing GOP.

With that as background, remember how Trump was villified over comments he made about illegal aliens back in June 2015?

The US has become a dumping ground for everybody else’s problems. Thank you. It’s true, and these are the best and the finest. When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.

The Left lost their minds with their hair on fire. Trump called Mexicans rapists! Trump demeaned Mexicans! Trump is a RAAACIST! Never mind the fact that our borders were and are being violated by Mexicans and other third-world “immigrants.” Ignore the fact that up to 80% of women in these “caravans” and on the immigrant journey were being raped. The talking heads hyperventilated over Trump telling the truth.

And the truth continues to this day to validate what Trump said back then, but even more so. These countries, including Mexico, aren’t sending us their best.

A manhunt remains underway as police search for Danelo Cavalcante, a 34-year-old illegal alien from Brazil, after he escaped from Chester County Prison on August 31. A $10,000 reward is now being offered to the person who leads police to Cavalcante.

Cavalcante was spotted on surveillance footage on September 2 just 1.5 miles away from the prison and police believe he remains in the area but could now be elsewhere.

“Law enforcement is requesting that residents in the area remain indoors at this time. Lock your vehicles. Review your surveillance cameras and contact police if you observe anything suspicious,” Chester County District Attorney Deb Ryan said in a statement:

Danelo Cavalcante is considered an extremely dangerous man. Please remain vigilant in assisting with this search. If you see this individual do not approach him. Call 911 immediately. [Emphasis added]

What, they don’t have enough prisons in Brazil for this guy? They have to send their guy here to live on the taxpayer’s dime for three squares a day? And he doesn’t even like it?

The ingrate.

But he’s not the only one you need to be watching out for.

A man who entered New York City just two months ago after living in Venezuela has become a poster boy for the migrant crisis after he was arrested six separate times, often for violent attacks. He arrived in the city just about two months ago, first coming in on June 27.

The 29-year-old Daniel Hernandez Martinez reportedly committed his first crime during his second day in New York City, when he was said to have stolen merchandise from a Brooklyn Costco. He then hit up a Duane Reade in Manhattan’s Columbus Circle. 

Just a day later, he allegedly assaulted a security guard at a different Duane Reade location. 

“He’s been wreaking havoc,” stated a cop with over 20 years of experience.

“This is not an isolated incident. These migrants are getting arrested quite often here, and we really don’t know who they are. They really don’t have ID. They’re not being vetted properly, but some of them are committing some of the most violent crimes here.”

Isn’t diversity awesome?!

But it’s not just oneseys-twoseys; the open border is driving the increase in retail theft.

Why the sudden explosion in organized retail crime? When it covers this issue at all, the mainstream press usually just throws up its hands, or says retailers are exaggerating the problem.

But could it have anything to do with the fact that Biden opened the border and let millions of illegal immigrants flood into the country?

Immigration and Customs Enforcement  (ICE) sees a connection. In a statement released last June, it said: “Recent investigations have also identified organized retail crime schemes exploiting undocumented migrants forced to steal goods to pay back ‘coyotes’ who smuggle them across international borders.”

In another report, ICE says that:

Boosters are often undocumented immigrants, labor trafficked into the United States and working off a debt, or individuals suffering from some form of addiction. The boosters are the thieves on the ground that steal (boost) the products. They typically have a list of merchandise to steal from their crew boss and may hit numerous stores in one day. The boosters will likely be paid in cash or through anonymous/encrypted peer-to-peer payment apps.

By June of last year, the problem had grown so severe that ICE announced an effort to crack down on this migrant-fueled crime wave.

Of course, this results in higher prices for your average American shopper.

The person responsible for the mayhem and population displacement that we’re undergoing is Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, under whom is U.S. Customs and Border Protection. He is intentionally failing at protecting our border. No one is this incompetent at this level of “responsibility.”

He ought to be impeached and removed from office. But will the RINOs allow that to happen? Nope. They didn’t.

Hey, all of you who “voted” for Joe Biden — and for those who helped the Democrats take the Senate and keep the House — thanks so much for enriching our lived experience.

Daily Broadside | The US Ship of State is Swamped and in Danger of Sinking

I hate to miss posting, but this past week was absolutely packed with activity. One of the little’s is getting married this fall, and there were all kinds of tasks associated with hosting guests and putting on a bridal shower that was a beautiful event for all involved. We’re getting to know the future in-laws and some of their extended family, too. I’m slightly more of an introvert than extrovert so expending that much energy with so many people tends to deplete my reserves and will take some time for me to rebound.

But I couldn’t not post with all that’s going on in this bizarre country called the United States of America. At one time the envy of the world, it has been twisted into a grotesque, unrecognizable parody of itself, claiming all the virtues of a free society but acting like a third-world banana republic.

We’re being led by a doddering, angry, dementia-riddled, imbecilic fabulist whose natural language is lying. He’s bought and owned by the Chinese, the Russians and the Ukranians. He’s done nothing worth remembering in his fifty years in government, but we will remember him because of the immense damage he’s inflicted on the economy, politics and the culture in the two-plus years he’s been in office.

Our political elites have weaponized the Constitution and are conducting open lawfare on the previous president while ignoring the crimes of the current one and his family. Lawfare is even being conducted at the state level against conservative politicians, like Texas AG Ken Paxton.

We’re being swarmed with some 7 million foreigners who have crossed our non-existant border illegally without vetting and are actually shlepped around the country to large “santuary” cities, so much so that even hard-left mayors are complaining that they can’t handle the influx and are now asking citizens to open their homes to the invaders.

The Chinese float spy balloons over mainland US with impunity and are apparently behind an illegal biolab full of diseased mice, pathogens, blood, coronavirus, HIV, hepatitis and herpes and other infectious agents that was operating in secret without a permit in California, and an illegal police station in New York City to hunt down Chinese dissidents. We’re dependent on China for our pharmaceuticals. It’s shameful embarrassment to our sovereignty and safety.

The chucklehead in the White House printed $4 trillion and set off the worst inflation in 40 years. Interest rates have tripled and gas prices are doubled.

Our cities, once the envy and destination of the world, are turning into third-world $#!+holes full of crime and drugs, homelessness and death. Stores and businesses are closing because it’s unsafe to operate in those fetid markets.

Americans are fleeing “blue” states to “red” states in an effort to escape the insanity that progressives have unleashed in their states. We’re segregating ourselves into “rational” and “irrational” populations — and it depends on which one you identify with that shapes your definition of “rational.”

Our military is more interested in being woke than in being prepared as evidenced by dismal recruiting that has left us thousands of soldiers short. In addition, we are short on munitions and are far behind China in naval readiness.

As Victor Davis Hanson writes,

We are in the midst of one of the most radical revolutions in American history. It is as far-reaching and dangerous as the turbulent years of the 1850s and 1860s or the 1930s. Every aspect of American life and culture is under assault, including the very processes by which we govern ourselves, and the manner in which we live.

The Revolution began under the Obama administration that sought to divide Americans into oppressed and oppressors, and then substitute race for class victimization. It was empowered by the bicoastal wealth accrued from globalization, and honed during the COVID lockdown, quarantine-fed economic downturn, and the George Floyd riots and their aftermath. The Revolution was boosted by fanatic opposition to the presidency of Donald Trump. And the result is an America that is unrecognizable from what it was a mere decade ago.

There’s little that one person can do to fight the assault on our way of life. It will take a critical mass of citizens who have decided they’ve had enough and are ready to fight — and sacrifice for — the survival of America.

Daily Broadside | New App Schedules Time to Enter Country Illegally

When you think of illegal aliens, a.k.a illegal immigrants, a.k.a. undocumented immigrants, a.k.a. migrants, what images come to mind? Do you imagine a family — a mom, a dad, two kids — wading into the Rio Grande river on the Mexico border, fighting the current and struggling to keep their heads above water as they try to wade, swim and float to the other side? Do you see them scrambling up through the brush on the Texas side of the river, collapsing in the dust and waiting for U.S. border patrol to pick them up?

Maybe you see them piling out of a semi-trailer along a deserted highway in the Arizona desert after making the harrowing journey hidden from U.S. Customs and Border Protection? Maybe you think of infrared videos showing white figures against a grainy gray background climbing over a wall separating Mexico into San Diego.

Maybe you remember the Central American caravans that traveled all the way up through Mexico and attempted to bum rush the border. Or the thousands of “migrants” camped on the border just waiting for Title 42 to expire. Or this administation’s secret flights and bus rides of foreigners to unknown destinations across the U.S.

Whatever you see, I’ll bet nothing has prepared you to see what Ben Bergquam has documented.

What is the CBP1? CBP One is an app that can be downloaded from any online store that offers mobile applications. Why are illegal aliens using it?

The CBP One app is one of the latest tools the Biden administration is using to funnel illegal immigrants into the United States, while obfuscating the true scope of the border crisis. As Mark Krikorian, host of Parsing Immigration Policy and executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies, puts it, the app allows illegal immigrants to “essentially schedule their illegal immigration into the United States.”

Andrew Arthur, the Center’s resident fellow in law and policy and a former immigration judge, joins this week’s podcast to discuss the creation of the CBP One app and how it operates. At its inception during the Covid pandemic in October 2020, the CBP One app was intended to allow legitimate travelers to schedule appointments at ports of entry to limit the amount of time that travelers were spending face-to-face with CBP officers.

However, the Biden administration now uses the app to allow travelers arriving without proper documentation to enter the United States – travelers who normally would have no right to enter the country. Migrants can only make appointments through the app in Mexico and Central America, which has encouraged aspiring illegal immigrants to employ smugglers. There is also now a huge backlog of migrants in Mexico waiting for appointments through the CBP One app.

In his closing commentary, Krikorian highlights the deceptive CBP border numbers released this week. The Biden administration reports a 70 percent reduction in unlawful entries “between ports of entry.” However, closer inspection of the numbers shows that the Biden administration has simply allowed illegal immigrants to enter at ports of entry using the CBP One app, so they appear “legal.”

Instead of crossing the border between ports of entry by crossing a river or scaling a fence, Brandon is simply letting illegals schedule an appointment at a legitimate port of entry and then facilitating their entry into the U.S. As the numbers of foreigners using the app increase, the number of those trying to avoid the ports of entry decrease.

Slick.

But how many illegals are being processed and let into the country, like in the video above?

Under the CLAP rule, the asylum and protection claims of aliens who cross the border illegally between the ports are subject to a higher level of scrutiny, while those who take advantage of the CBP One app port interview scheme have their claims considered under the (much looser) prevailing standards.

Well, that’s what the administration claims. In May, CBP both lifted a requirement that aliens who take advantage of the scheme show up at a time certain (they can now appear at any point in a 23-hour window) and expanded the number of available interview slots from 1,000 per day to 1,250; in June, the number of CBP One port interview slots was expanded further, to 1,450 daily — or 529,000-plus per year.

There’s no way CBP officers at the ports can reasonably evaluate protection claims made by 1,450 CBP One app interviewees per day, and especially no way they can do so for aliens who appear at 11:00 at night. And there’s really, really no way they can vet more than 99 percent of those 1,450 aliens per day in any meaningful way before releasing them into the United States.

This is nothing more than a shell game concocted by carnies at the White House and DHS to hide the millions of aliens the Biden administration is allowing to pour over the Southwest border into the United States. Worse, it’s criminally reckless, as it flouts not only our norms and laws but also the very security of the nation and of towns and cities nationwide to which those aliens are headed.

But at least it allows the Biden administration to crow that Border Patrol apprehensions at the U.S.-Mexico line have now fallen below 100,000 per month — for now.

The anti-Americans in the White House not only lie about the condition of the border, they’re actually using slight-of-hand to make us think they’re reducing the flow of illegals when, in fact, they’re simply hiding the true number of illegals they’re helping into the U.S.

There is no way to describe what’s happening other than an invasion. It’s not being done with guns and violence from an enemy nation, but it’s being done BY OUR OWN LEADERS who are subverting our laws with the intent of destroying the unique American culture that built and sustained this county for the last 200 years. It’s a specific strategy to undermine the strength of the U.S. to bring it more in line with what the Diversity Brigade wants, which is to tear down a superior culture in order to make it more “equitable” to whoever they deem to be “oppressed.”

It’s insidious, unconscionable, malicious and treasonous. I don’t care what the Marxist-infused Leftists about white people and our national heritage.

But here’s a twist for believers. If and when you are confronted with someone who is here illegally, never forget that they matter to our heavenly Father. They are created in His image Jesus died for each one.

We have to separate our dismay about people entering the country illegally from our attitude toward illegal aliens themselves. You can be angry at our lawless governors and their destructive intentions while still extending the arms of Christ to those who have flaunted our laws with the blessing of the state.

You don’t have to accept the reckless and illegal policies of our government; you can support the deportation of anyone here illegally; and you can love someone while they’re here.
