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.

Daily Broadside | ¡Adios America! You’re Now a Third-World Sh*thole

I’ve said it many times before on this blog, but illegal aliens from third-world countries being allowed to invade ours is one of the most loathsome acts of treachery the men and women who hold power in this nation have ever committed. It’s criminal, it’s an act of sabotage, it’s wrecking our country and both parties are responsible for it.

(See other posts about this issue here, here, here, here, here, here and here.)

Our “immigration” “system” favors anyone who manages to get across our border and declares that they want asylum — once they do so, they are given a court date and released under their own recognizance. What’s a reasonable amount of time for someone to wait for a court date, do you think? Three months? Six months? Twelve? Maybe 18 months at the outside? If that’s what you think, you’d be wrong.

BROWNSVILLE, Texas — Migrants processed into the US as asylum seekers are being given immigration court dates more than a decade away.

In Brownsville, migrants who arrived in the US Thursday showed The Post their paperwork with designated court dates set as late as 2032 and 2035 in Chicago and Florida.

Now they have been admitted to the county and given a court date, the migrants can receive a work permit and legally live and work in the US until their case comes up.

Others who had immigration court hearings set for August 2023 in a Maryland immigration court and March 2027 at a Dallas immigration court.

Two people heading to New York City had dates listed for 2025.

Backlogs at immigration courts currently stand at 2.1 million cases waiting to be heard.

There are around 600 immigration court judges deciding asylum cases, and in the last financial year, they closed approximately 312,000 cases.

It’s not just that it could be 12 months, but it could be 12 years until your request for asylum comes up before a judge. In the meantime, you’re allowed to legally live and work here until your case is called. And, if you have a child with your girlfriend while you’re waiting, guess what? You now have an “anchor baby” who automatically gains citizenship because mom was present in the U.S. That means the authorities are less likely to deport you. Think I’m kidding?

Yes, it’s true most of those folks are officially claiming asylum but that’s a 7-year process for most of them. By the time a judge tells them to leave, they’ll have American children and they’ll never be asked to leave unless they commit a serious crime. So the word is out and now the migrants who’ve been dodging Title 42 have heard that’s ending as well. So expect some new records of border crossings over the coming week that make this week’s records look tame by comparison.

This is ludicrous. All a foreigner has to do is jump the border, claim asylum, and start working and collecting welfare checks while having a family here. No vetting, no process, no oath of citizenship, just living la vida loca.

In what other sovereign nation does this happen? There isn’t another country where I could walk across the border and simply settle down, get a job and raise a family without being arrested, jailed, fined and deported. A year ago I wrote of the punishments some countries mete out to trespassers.

Why do aliens target America? Well, besides being the freest and richest country in the world, there aren’t any consequences for entering illegally. In this report, we learn that crossing the border illegally in Singapore is punishable by six months in prison and three strokes with a cane. In Russia, you can get two years in a prison labor camp. In Pakistan, trespassers can get up to 10 years in prison, while India allows for up to eight years behind bars.

The U.S.? Illegal entry in the U.S. is a misdemeanor, with a maximum of six months in jail.

Guess how many “migrants” are waiting to rush across the border just as soon as Title 42 ends?

The scope of this disaster really is amazing. With Title 42 set to end Thursday the everyone from border state governors to blue city mayors is getting ready for a new influx of migrants. There may not be a long wait because more than a hundred thousand people are already camped out on the Mexican side of the border waiting for the right moment.

The federal government estimates more than 150,000 migrants were waiting in shelters and on the streets of northern Mexican states bordering the US this weekend, a source familiar with the estimates told CNN.

That includes 60,000 migrants in the Mexican state of Chihuahua, 35,000 in the state of Tamaulipas and 25,000 in the state of Coahuila, among others, the source said Monday, adding the government estimates hundreds of thousands of migrants were in the “pipeline” in southern Mexico and Central American countries.

So 150,000 people on the doorstep and maybe more than that on the way. Shelters in Tijuana are overflowing. The director of migrants affairs said a “humanitarian crisis” is near.

By the time you read this, Title 42 will have expired. Here’s the very latest:

After days of panic, with thousands of migrants crossing over the southern border in a last-minute attempt to claim asylum before the rules changed, Title 42 has ended.

In the final hours before the pandemic-era measure expired, forces along the border fortified their posts with barbed wire, concrete barriers and heavily armed teams patrolling their front lines.

Agents in tactical gear also performed rehearsals for how to deal with rioters or mobs, should migrants attempt to descend en masse across the border.

Federal agents also remain on standby in case of riots, sources told The Post.

But after Title 42 ended at midnight, border crossings in Texas and California remained quiet — with migrants remaining on the Mexican side of the border awaiting to be processed.

Despite Customs and Border Patrol apprehending over 10,000 people daily this week, there were an estimated 155,000 people still waiting in north Mexico with the intention of making it into the US, according to CNN.

Texas officials had warned of up to 13,000 people a day attempting to make it into the US after Title 42 ended.

Asylum seekers will now be processed under the earlier Title 8 measure instead.

This is no way to run a country. The reason for the invasion being allowed by Democrats and cheered by their media lapdogs is that foreigners primarily vote Democrat, somewhere on the order of 8-2. What the criminal Democrat party is doing is adding new voters on top of the 50 percent of Americans who already vote Democrat to create a super majority. That’s all this is — a way to keep themselves in power. They are disenfranchising the entire country by importing a dependent class of peasants who will vote to keep the largesse coming.

Once these people are here, it’s almost impossible to reverse their presence, unlike a law like Roe v. Wade. Not only is it almost impossible to reverse, the effect of their presence keeps on growing through chain migration and anchor babies.

The only way to reverse the loss of our country, at least the country that the other half of us like, is to close the border. Once that leak is stopped, then we can determine how to clear the backlog of illegals. THEN, we need to hold our ruling class accountable. Then we need to abandon the idiocy of automatic citizenship for foreign children born to non-citizens. Then we need to stop chain migration.

But it’s not going to happen. Instead of organic growth, receiving and releasing this many people into the U.S. this fast will change the demographics of the country, and not for the better — unless you’re a progressive politician or business.

Have a good weekend.

Daily Broadside | Another Example of How Our Rulers Hate Us

It’s no secret that the junta currently in power has basically erased our southern border. In fact, a U.S. judge just blocked Brandon and his minions from continuing his “catch and release” formula of enforcement.

U.S. District Judge T. Kent Wetherell in Pensacola blocked the administration from continuing to implement a 2021 Department of Homeland Security (DHS) memo that had authorized “alternatives to detention” to ease overcrowding in detention facilities. These alternatives included ankle bracelets, phone monitoring or check-ins by immigration officers. Republican critics have called the policy “catch and release.”

Wetherell, appointed by Republican former President Donald Trump, said federal immigration authorities lack the power to implement those alternatives on a widespread basis under existing law. The judge agreed with the argument made by Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody, who challenged the policy.

“Defendants have effectively turned the Southwest Border into a meaningless line in the sand and little more than a speedbump for aliens flooding into the country,” Wetherell wrote, referring to non-U.S. citizens who cross the border illegally.

It’s nice that someone other than I finally said it, although it’s not going to make much of a difference. The Democrats and their cabal hate America, hate Americans, and are only in it for the power to destroy what was once the most powerful nation in history, all in the name of “equity.”

Until we get there, we’ll just have to put up with the disdain our sovereignty, our culture and our national symbols are shown by the hordes of foreigners flooding the fruited plain.

Two suspected illegal immigrants shot and killed a bald eagle with the intention of cooking it for dinner, and the town’s sheriff whose department arrested them says federal authorities, who could keep them behind bars, won’t return his calls.

I’m sorry, did I say the disdain of foreigners? I meant the disdain of our ruling class.

The incident has left Stanton County, Neb., residents “disturbed” and “offended,” county sheriff Mike Unger told the Washington Free Beacon. And as of right now, the two suspects are allowed to roam the country freely. The two men were charged with misdemeanors, and Nebraska law dictates the pair can’t be held in jail before their March 28 trial.

“The country.”

Right. We have two foreign nationals who have no permanent address, apparently no money, who don’t speak English and who brought a gun with them (later identified as an air rifle) to use in hunting dinner for themselves like the peasants in the third-world hellhole they come from, driving around “the country.”

“Freely.”

The murder of the once-endangered bald eagle, the national bird of the United States, occurred on Feb. 28 after Stanton County police officers responded to a report of a suspicious vehicle outside of the Wood Duck State Wildlife Management. Officers at the scene discovered two Honduran nationals carrying the dead bird. They spoke no English and carried no form of identification other than documents from the Honduran consulate, Unger said.

Another report said they “cut off the bird’s feet, intending to ‘make the talons into ornaments.'” But don’t you be “disturbed” or “offended” just because two foreign men who are here illegally are riding around the country shooting the national symbol of American might and power for dinner and for making dope jewelry.

Killing a bald eagle is a violation of the 1940 Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act, a federal law that carries a punishment of up to one year in prison. Federal authorities must bring those charges—in this case the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. But Unger says he’s reached out repeatedly to the agency and has gotten only silence. A spokeswoman for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service did not respond to a request for comment …

There is precedent for federal charges to be brought against bald eagle murderers. In June, a 79-year-old Tuscarawas County, Ohio, man pleaded guilty to killing a bald eagle while hunting groundhogs on his property. The man was forced to pay a $10,000 fine to the court and another $10,000 in restitution to the Fish and Wildlife Service. He was also barred from hunting for five years.

And in 2017 the feds brought charges against a 62-year-old Virginia man for shooting and killing a bald eagle. The man also ran over the bird with his all-terrain vehicle and said he was “upset it had been hunting and taking fish from a pond located on his property.”  The man was sentenced to a month of house arrest and 100 hours of community service along with fines totaling $2,000.

It’s okay for a foreigner to violate our sovereignty and even kill a member of our national bird, but don’t try it if you’re an American citizen!

This illegitimate administration allows progressive anarchists to burn down our cities, pull down our statues and incite racial animosity while allowing millions of foreigners to simply walk into our country and do whatever the hell they want.

This kind of deliberate sabotage of American culture and history is irreversible.

You may think I’m trafficking in hyperbole when I say, as I did yesterday, that we’re no longer about to drive off a cliff, but that we have in fact driven off of it and are hurtling in freefall toward the canyon floor. It’s now just a matter of time and how hard the impact will be—and whether anyone who remembers how it used to be survives.

Daily Broadside | It’s My First Post of 2023 …

… and yesterday was New Year’s Day (Observed) at my office, so I had another day off. I hope your Christmas and New Year’s celebrations were wonderful and meaningful and full of warmth and pleasant memories …

… because it might be a new year but it’s the same-old same-old in the world of politics and culture and faith. Just because everything is “merry and bright” doesn’t mean we begin with a completely clean slate once the calendar turns a new page. Well, unless you’re in Christ, then “his compassions never fail. They are new every morning” (Lamentations 3:22-23) and, by extension, every year.

We’ll have to learn how to live in a country that is not just fraying at the edges, but is tearing down the middle. The FBI is still the Gestapo we learned about over the last six years; the Democrats are still the political mafia they exposed themselves to be; the GOP is not the opposition party but part of the swamp (with a few notable exceptions); our economy is being destroyed by the Church of Perpetual Climate Fear as war is waged on our abundance of natural gas and oil resources for some fantasy of “carbon-neutral” energy (go back to nuclear energy!); the border is still porous and getting worse because we live under a lawless regime whose sole purpose is to destroy the United States as founded; the judiciary has become a court of rubber stamps that enable progressive lawlessness; our elections are no longer free or fair, but hopelessly suspect; the DOJ and Brandon himself have demonized patriotic Americans and keeps hundreds of them locked up in violation of their due process rights; and normal Americans should be gathering by the millions to protest and agitate against all of it but such behavior is only allowed on the Left and prosecuted against the Right.

My political awakening came a couple of decades ago and I’ve invested more time in speaking out against the lawlessness than I ever have over the last three years. I sometimes see myself as a guy running up and down the brow of a rocky island jutting up out of the sea, waving a red flag, setting off flares, and yelling at an approaching luxury cruise ship, trying to get the attention of anyone on board, warning them that they’re about to run aground and sink the boat. Unfortunately, even though I’ve gotten the attention of a few people on the promenade deck, the captain and crew don’t seem to notice or care.

It’s dawning on me that there is no solution that will immediately fix the dire circumstances we find ourselves in. What I didn’t want to grant, but what has become most apparent, is that our freedoms and homogenous cultural assumptions can no longer be taken for granted. Speech is being curtailed by political and technological ideologues; deeply evil people lie and conspire to get the political outcomes they want. The spirit of our Founders once held us together as a nation, along with deeply religious communities of faith. Those have now been relegated to specialized institutions like the Heritage Foundation or Hillsdale College or to the church or the synagogue or the mosque. You’re certainly not going to find them in the halls of congress or our schools, which regularly and naturally reinforced our national values.

The Lord foils the plans of the nations;
    he thwarts the purposes of the peoples.
But the plans of the Lord stand firm forever,
    the purposes of his heart through all generations.

Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,
    the people he chose for his inheritance.
From heaven the Lord looks down
    and sees all mankind;
from his dwelling place he watches
    all who live on earth—
he who forms the hearts of all,
    who considers everything they do.

Psalm 33:10-15

Nothing escapes the Lord’s notice. He’s aware of all that is taking place in our country’s capitol, in each of the legislatures in each state, of every person in a position of authority. He’s aware of the lies, the cheating, the oppression, the hatred, the incitement conflict among the people, of the favoritism and the graft and the greed.

His purpose among the nations will prevail because his plans “stand firm forever.” How I wish that we would be known as a “nation whose God is the Lord.” But those in power disingenuously say they fear a “theocracy,” even though a return to the Judeo-Christian principles that this nation was founded on would be the right thing.

They reject them at the cost of their own destruction. They are blind fools and, one day, they will shrink in horror and shame as the full weight of their foolishness bores down on them.

In the meantime, Christians should be doing three things: actively opposing the evil being done in this nation, preparing for persecution, and winning as many to Christ as they can, while they can.

Daily Verse | Amos 5:14
Seek good, not evil,
    that you may live.

Tuesday’s Reading: Obadiah

Tuesday and I’m back from a wonderful weekend in a very hot part of the United States watching one of my daughters play soccer and meeting the family of another daughter’s boyfriend.

I had no time to check in on the flaming dumpster fire called the Democrat party (I refuse to call them “Democratic” since they are anything but) and the idiocy they’re inflicting on the country, but I caught wind of what happened in Martha’s Vineyard, where Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis sent 50 (fifty!) illegal aliens who showed up in his state at the invitation of Resident Open Borders.

In one of the richest enclaves in the United States, they declared a “humanitarian crisis” because, “We cannot, we do not, have the services to take care of 50 immigrants.” I swear I am not making this up.

After only 40 hours or so, the island community called in the National Guard who whisked the nuisance group off to a military establishment. CNN then gushed a fawning headline, “‘They enriched us.’ Migrants’ 44-hour visit leaves indelible mark on Martha’s Vineyard.”

How aristocratic.

In reality, their concern appears to be solely about optics and virtue signaling. When Republican governors send 50 migrants unannounced to Martha’s Vineyard, it’s a humanitarian crisis that gets days of national media coverage. When 51 migrants who were encouraged to illegally cross the border by the actions of Democratic politicians die in the back of a tractor-trailer abandoned by coyotes in the Texas heat, well, that’s a statistic.

The move by DeSantis was brilliant because it exposed the raw hypocrisy of an elite that votes for people like Brandon who promise open borders, but never have to live with the consequences of the policies that are enacted.

In a single stroke, Ron DeSantis tore the mask of hypocrisy off the smug faces of the liberal elites who love crowing about the virtues of “diversity” and the evils of “whiteness” just so long as they don’t have to suffer any real-world consequences. “People who make and advocate certain policies,” Tucker Carlson said, “should at some point have to live with those policies.” That was the moral of Ron DeSantis’ bravura performance. God bless him for it.

Daily Verse | Ezekiel 43:12
“This is the law of the temple: All the surrounding area on top of the mountain will be most holy. Such is the law of the temple.”

Friday’s Reading: Ezekiel 44-48
Saturday’s Reading: Daniel 1-3

Friday and sincere condolences to our cousins in the UK on the passing of her majesty, Queen Elizabeth. It’s a remarkable loss given that she was the longest reigning monarch in British history at 70 years (1952-1922), and the second-longest in world history behind only French King Louis XIV, who ruled for 72 years (1643–1715).

Entire generations of Brits have grown up knowing only Queen Elizabeth as the head of British royalty. Heck, even I’ve only known Queen Elizabeth during my lifetime. I once spent a year in London during my college days and saw her in a motorcade passing by while the crowd cheered and waved. I consider myself fortunate to have lived during her remarkable reign.

I understand that she was a woman of strong faith. Franklin Graham, Billy Graham’s son, said, “Queen Elizabeth once said, ‘I draw strength from the message of hope in the Christian gospel'” and that, “she was a true friend of the Christian faith.”

I hope that’s true. May she rest in peace.

In other news, from the category of “I can’t even,” there’s this gem: DC Mayor Muriel Bowser declares emergency over migrant buses from Texas, Arizona.

Bowser’s emergency declaration will set aside funding to accommodate migrants as well as create the Office of Migrant Services. The OMS will be tasked with providing temporary accommodations, urgent medical needs, transportation” and other services for migrants.

“We’re putting in place a framework that would allow us to have a coordinated response with our partners,” Bowser said Thursday. “This will include a program to meet all buses, and given that most people will move on, our primary focus is to make sure we have a humane, efficient, welcome process that will allow people to move on to their final destination.”

“Regardless of the federal response — which I think has been lacking in some respects — that the District of Columbia would continue to work with partners to advance what we need and ensure our systems in D.C. are not broken by a crisis that is certainly not of our making,” Bowser added.

Oh, it’s a crisis? You’re going to move people “on to their final destination”? You mean you’re not going to keep them there? You’re not going to shower them with free education, medical care and put them up in the best hotels? You’re instead going to pass them on to some other fair city?

If I was a red state city complaining like Bowser, I’d be called racist, xenophobic, intolerant and a hater of brown people.

You know how many illegal aliens have been bussed to Washington, D.C. so far? About 9,400. You know how many illegal aliens have been caught crossing the border since Angry Hitler was installed as Resident? 5 MILLION. (Graphic linked to article at dailymail.com.)

That’s basically dumping the whole country of Ireland into the U.S. if they were Latino and spoke some language other than English. Which, if you’ve ever heard the Irish brogue, sometimes sounds like a foreign language.

Don’t forget that Bowser talked big when she thought no one was going to call her on it.

Well, that’s changed now. Washington, D.C. is no longer a “sanctuary city” but a “border town.”

“In many ways, the governors of Texas and Arizona have turned us into a border town. We don’t know how long this will take to resolve. We don’t know how long they will continue bussing,” Washington DC Councilmember Brianne Nadeau said.

She doesn’t mean “border town” as a positive thing. But why? What’s wrong with being a border town? You’re the ones that wanted this. Her and the mayor’s support of open borders and refusal to cooperate with ICE has created this “crisis.”

Talk about being cluelessly woke with no sense of irony. H8ter!

It’s absolutely precious to see these anti-American morons get a taste of what red states like Texas and Arizona have been dealing with for years because of progressive Leftist policies like Brandon’s open borders policy.

It’s all part of a plan to sow chaos in the United States and dilute the cohesion of what once held us together as a society. With lawlessness becoming sanctioned by the state, I wonder how long it will be before the same state decides to declare two weeks of martial law to flatten the curve.

Have a good weekend.

Daily Broadside | Everything is Broken and It’s All Being Done on Purpose

Daily Verse | Jeremiah 49:11
Leave your orphans; I will protect their lives. Your widows too can trust me.

Friday’s Reading: Jeremiah 50-52
Saturday’s Reading: Lamentations 1-5

Friday and for those of you who are reading through the Bible with me this year, we’re more than halfway through our third quarter of reading. By weekend’s end we’ll be through Lamentations, starting Ezekiel on Monday. After that, it’s Daniel and the minor prophets and we’re done with the Old Testament. We start the New Testament on October 3. For those of you who haven’t been reading along, think about joining us for the last quarter of the year and read the New Testament with us.

In addition to ruining the economy, running up mountains of debt, crushing the middle class, and harassing the Great Orange MenaceTM, let’s not forget that Brandon’s also burdening us with millions of illegals who make their way across our border unencumbered by any pretense of difficulty.

Nearly 5 million illegal immigrants have crossed U.S. borders in the 18 months since President Joe Biden took office, according to a new report.

A total of 4.9 million illegal aliens, including some 900,000 “gotaways” who evaded apprehension and have since disappeared into American communities, have entered the country by the end of July, the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) said in a statement on Aug. 16.

“Roughly the equivalent of the entire population of Ireland has illegally entered the United States in the 18 months President Biden has been in office, with many being released into American communities,” FAIR President Dan Stein said in the press release.

Huh. Where do you suppose those NINE HUNDRED THOUSAND PEOPLE are now? We know some of them have been shipped off from Texas to Washington, D.C. and New York City, where the mayors are griping about having to deal with the lawbreakers.

Two million illegal aliens have entered the country in the first 10 months of this financial year, according to data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). In June, more than 207,000 illegal immigrants were apprehended attempting to cross the U.S.–Mexico border, making this the highest number of June apprehensions in history.

Brandon’s setting new records all the time as he lays waste to what was once a uniquely American culture. We now have somewhere between 22 and 40 million illegals living among us who have become an unwelcome and unwanted drain on our economy, our medical system and our educational system.

I’ve addressed this issue many times before. Here’s a few paragraphs from a story by Jordan Boyd, from a post back in April:

“We’re getting to a tipping point,” Scott said. “This many people being released into the U.S. this fast is going to change the demographics of U.S. cities because nothing stays at the borders.”

This is a cause for concern for many states struggling with the criminal effects of an open border, not just states that sit close to Mexico. As Morgan noted in our conversation, “the overwhelming majority of illegal migrants do not stay in the border towns and states.”

“What happens and what comes through our borders does not stay there. The border cities and states there, they receive the additional brunt of it, but they’re just the throughput,” Morgan explained. “And it doesn’t matter what the danger is whether that’s an invasion of illegal migrant, or drugs or gang members or criminal migrant, or a threat to our national security vulnerability, the border towns and states are the throughput but they’re making their way to every town, city, and state.”

When illegal border-crossers are released without significant repercussions and without being forced to report to an immigration facility, it endangers the entire nation. In 2021, approximately 47,000 migrants were released into the United States because of Biden’s policies but did not report to ICE on time or at all, as they were required to do.

I’ve been calling this problem an “invasion” for a few years because there really isn’t another word for it. Now, even professional publications, like Issues & Insights, are using the same language.

No Matter How Many Times Biden Denies It, The U.S. Is Being Invaded

A new poll finds that more than half of Americans think the U.S. is being invaded by illegal aliens flooding into the country. And they are right, no matter what President Joe Biden claims, or how diligently the mainstream press tries to cover it up.

“More than half (54%) of Americans think it’s at least somewhat true that we’re experiencing an invasion at the southern border,” according to the NPR/Ipsos poll.

That is a shocking finding, given the denials from the administration that there is a crisis at all, and the fact that the mainstream media will cover anything but the flood of illegal immigrants under Biden.

Of course, Brandon denies that there is any such “invasion” and is triggered by the use of such words. The numbers tell a different story.

The chart below shows illegal crossings each month under Biden and compares that with the monthly average from 2012-2020. It also provides a sampling of what Biden and Co. were saying about this crisis at the time.

If this isn’t an invasion, what is?

The administration hates American citizens and is seeking to degrade our strength and uniqueness as a country as part of the Great Reset. They are putting enormous pressure on our culture, our economy and our standing in the world. They’re not stupid. This is all intentional.

And they’re doing their best to complete as much wreckage as possible before they potentially lose power in the midterms come November.

It’s galling, maddening, outrageous.

(Try to) Have a good weekend.

Daily Broadside | Five Reasons Why Jesus Was Not a Refugee

Daily Verse | Psalm 18:30
As for God, his way is perfect;
    the word of the Lord is flawless;
He is a shield for all who take refuge in him.

Monday’s Reading: Psalms 19-24

It’s Monday and occasionally I hear a weekend message at my church that provokes some thought and I work through it here. That happened this weekend with the fifth in a series called “Kingdom Over Politics.” Over the past five weeks we’ve covered Civility, Sexuality, Life, Racial Justice, and yesterday, Immigration.

The series has been very well done. Apart from “civility,” which was about how we speak to and listen to each other, our lead pastor said that, generally speaking, sexuality and life are thought of as “red” political issues in our society, while racial justice and immigration are considered “blue” political issues. His overarching point is that they are neither “red” nor “blue” issues, but biblical issues. As believers, we need to start not with our political point of view, but with what the scriptures say about each issue.

I not only agree with that but would argue that starting with what the scriptures say about anything is the right place to start.

However.

We had guest speaker yesterday who led off with what I think is one of the most irresponsibly used arguments in support of welcoming the refugee, the legal immigrant, or the illegal alien. In its simplest form, it’s “Jesus was a refugee.”

The reference, of course, is to when Joseph and Mary fled with Jesus to Egypt while king Herod was committing infanticide in an effort to kill the child who would one day become the King of kings.

There was a real threat to the life of the child, Jesus. They had to escape, and they did, to Egypt.

The argument then, is that because Jesus was a refugee, we must welcome the refugee into our country.

Here’s the relevant passage (courtesy The Bible Gateway, linked):

The kind of arguments I hear that use this passage come from a variety of sources, including one of my former professors at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, Scot McKnight.

In this post, McKnight reflects on M. Daniel Carroll R.’s take on Jesus in his book, The Bible and Borders: Hearing God’s Word on Immigration. McKnight’s summary of Carroll’s writing is typical of Christian progressives who advocate for taking in and caring for foreigners, legal or not.

Call it what you want, but the holy family’s experience is one of flight, hiding, refuge and seeking asylum in a foreign country where they could be surrounded by and welcomed by fellow Jews. Only after it was safe did they return, and even then they went to Nazareth to escape the eyes of the powerful.

Here we find elements to consider for immigration. If Jesus was an immigrant, I wonder to myself, are we not to see Jesus in all those seeking asylum in the USA?

Well, first of all, I don’t call it “seeking asylum in a foreign country.” More on that below.

As with others who use this argument, his conclusions are limited by what I think is a superficial inference in an otherwise multi-dimensional story that has nothing to do with immigration.

It’s clear what he’s focusing on: Jesus as an immigrant. From that he extrapolates seeing “Jesus in all those seeking asylum in the USA.”

I reject his premise outright.

To be clear, I do not reject seeing Jesus in another person, citizen or foreigner. None of us has ever locked eyes with anyone who didn’t matter to God or to Jesus. As Matthew also makes clear (chapter 25), when we minister to the marginalized, we minister to Jesus: “‘I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.'”

Having said that, there are at least five reasons why I reject McKnight’s — and our guest speaker’s — reasoning.

This event was uniquely about Jesus. Jesus was the target, not Joseph and Mary. “Herod is going to search for the child to kill him.” Jesus was the only person being sought by the authorities in an ill-advised attempt to snuff out his life before it really got started.

It’s true that Joseph and Mary might have been in danger as collateral damage, since Herod’s soldiers had their orders and wouldn’t let a mother’s or father’s attempts to resist stop them. They also didn’t let boys who weren’t Jesus stand in their way. That’s why this event is referred to as the Massacre of the Innocents.

Please note that God did not tell the other families with two-year-old boys to flee to Egypt. Why not? Didn’t they suffer a horrific loss because of Herod’s wickedness?

The reason is that this moment was specific to who Jesus was — the Son of God — and what he came here to do. It was a limited action by Herod, with a specific goal — to eliminate one toddler who threatened his power.

Divine revelation was involved. Jesus was taken to Egypt by his parents because his father received a special revelation from God, telling him what Herod was going to do. Joseph did not know that Jesus would be targeted. He did not, of his own accord, decide to flee Bethlehem for Egypt because he was being oppressed or persecuted.

But those who advocate for liberal immigration policies move from the one specialized case of Jesus to justify the millions of refugees, immigrants and illegal aliens pouring into our nation. We’re talking about one family of three people. There was no mass exodus of Jewish people to Egypt when they fled. The idea that there is any parallel to our modern-day illegal immigration or refugee crisis, especially in the U.S., is completely unfounded.

Egypt was part of the Roman empire. The idea of Jesus fleeing to another country as a parallel to what we’re experiencing today also doesn’t hold up under scrutiny. While Egypt was a different country, Jesus and his family never left the Roman empire. Egypt was under Roman rule, just as Israel was.

As near an analogy I can make is if someone in Ohio fled to Indiana to escape a stalker. While it’s true they crossed a border, we wouldn’t consider them a refugee because they never left the United States. Similarly, it’s possible (but unprovable) that the family wound up in Alexandria, Egypt, which had a large Jewish community at the time.

Jesus returned to Israel. I reject the use of Jesus’ journey to Egypt to justify “welcoming the refugee” because Jesus didn’t stay in Egypt. The young family returned home to Israel. I find it curious that those who use this argument never seem to get around to that part of the story. If we’re going to use this as a case study for immigration, then we need to use all of it.

Again, we find that this event is unique to who Jesus is. God directs Joseph through another revelation to go back to Israel because “those who were trying to take the child’s life are dead.” The majority of refugees, immigrants or illegal aliens here in this country are making a great effort to stay here permanently.

The story is a proof of Jesus’ identity. We also need to consider why Matthew wrote his gospel. In the Life Application Study Bible’s introduction to his gospel we read, “Matthew wrote this Gospel to his fellow Jews to prove that Jesus is the Messiah and to explain God’s kingdom.” He seems to have been writing to a smaller Jewish-Christian community in conflict with a larger unbelieving Jewish community.

As a result, one of thematic features of the whole Gospel of Matthew is his constant referrals to prophecy in the Jewish scriptures being fulfilled in Jesus. That promise-fulfillment theme is meant to confirm the identity of Jesus to his Jewish readers, to give them confidence in whom they have put their trust, and to help those who don’t believe to reconsider their rejection of the Messiah.

Matthew makes clear why he includes this story in his gospel: “So was fulfilled what the Lord had said through the prophet: ‘Out of Egypt I called my Son.'” The story was decidedly not included as a proof-text for policy or attitude on immigration. In fact, those who use it (as McKnight or our guest speaker did) are performing eisogesis, which simply means interpreting the bible by reading into it one’s own ideas.

Progressives use the “Jesus was a refugee” argument, based on this passage in Matthew, to advocate for anyone and everyone who comes to our country to be let in, and to accuse those who disagree as being “unChristian” or “unloving” or “denying Jesus.” You wouldn’t turn away Jesus, would you? But this passage is irresponsibly pressed into service when it comes to the debate on welcoming the refugee, the immigrant or the illegal alien.

Having said that, we are to love the foreigner, yes, no matter how they got here, no matter their immigration status, no matter their tribe, tongue or theology.

So why does this discussion matter? If we are going to use scripture to justify or advocate for a specific position on an issue, then it must be used accurately. In this case, I don’t believe it is.

Daily Broadside | American Citizens Pay the Price for Illegal Inhabitants

Daily Verse | 1 Chronicles 15:28
So all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of the Lord with shouts, with the sounding of rams’ horns and trumpets, and of cymbals, and the playing of lyres and harps.

Monday’s Reading: 1 Chronicles 16-20

Monday and we’re in the last week of April 2022.

On Friday morning I wrote that we knew alleged mom killer David Bonola was from Mexico, but authorities wouldn’t divulge his immigration status. That led me to speculate that he is here illegally, even though it’s been more than 20 years since he arrived. Friday, Fox News reported exclusively that, yes indeed, Bonola is here illegally.

EXCLUSIVE – David Bonola, the handyman arrested in the grisly murder of Queens mother Orsolya Gaal, had been living in the United States in violation of immigration law when he was arrested, law enforcement sources confirmed to Fox News Digital on Friday.

Bonola moved to the United States from Mexico 21 years ago, police officials said Thursday. They would not comment regarding the 44-year-old’s immigration status at the time. But two law enforcement sources with knowledge of the matter told Fox News Digital that Bonola was in the country in violation of immigration law. Details of whether he entered the U.S. legally were not immediately available.

“ICE focuses its civil immigration enforcement priorities on the apprehension and removal of noncitizens who pose a threat to our national security, public safety, and border security,” an Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesperson said in a statement in response to Fox News Digital’s questions. Fox News Digital is further told ICE has lodged a detainer with Queens Central Booking.

For twenty years he’s been here illegally.

How many more trespassers like David are living here illegally?

Millions, with millions more being ushered in and shuttled across the country by the illegitimate junta in the White House.

I did a study on illegal immigration some years ago and found that the estimated number of foreigners residing here illegally is remarkably consistent in projections by governmental and advocacy organizations (both for and against) at about 11-12 million. But that number for certain does not reflect the true number of illegals here in the United States.

Our analysis covers the years 1990 to 2016. We develop an estimate of the number of undocumented immigrants based on parameter values that tend to underestimate undocumented immigrant inflows and overstate outflows; we also show the probability distribution for the number of undocumented immigrants based on simulating our model over parameter value ranges. Our conservative estimate is 16.7 million for 2016, nearly fifty percent higher than the most prominent current estimate of 11.3 million, which is based on survey data and thus different sources and methods. The mean estimate based on our simulation analysis is 22.1 million, essentially double the current widely accepted estimate.

And that’s just one study published four years ago using data ending six years ago. The Federation for American Immigration Reform, a reputable non-partisan, public interest organization, estimates that there are approximately 15.5 million illegal aliens residing within the United States. They attribute this “alarming increase” to “two significant developments:”

  • The improvement of the United States’ economy as the country re-opens after the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic [we’ll see how inflation affects that — do]
  • A more significant factor fueling this increase is that the Biden administration has effectively abolished the mission of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), preventing the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) from securing our southern border, and implementing measures that encourage mass illegal immigration.

For another take, best-selling author and firebrand Ann Coulter makes a case in her book that the number is closer to 30 million. First, the Census Bureau, where the initial 11-12 million number comes from, assumes illegal aliens will fill out census forms and admit their status—a faulty assumption for obvious reasons. Second, the bureau adds 10 percent to their estimate, which implies they know they are undercounting.

Third, in 2005, a pair of Bears Stearns analysts studied remittances from the U.S. to Mexico. They found that “while the number of Mexicans living in the United States was supposed to have grown by only 56 percent from 1995 to 2003, remittances from the United States to Mexico grew by almost 200 percent, even as the median weekly wage increased by just 10 percent.” They also found that during the same period, housing permits in immigrant enclaves were vastly different from official figures.

So, there are roughly somewhere between 15 and 30 million foreigners who are living here illegally. Maybe more. We don’t know how many because our immigration system has been dismantled by anti-American zealots and feckless lawmakers who love them some cheap labor.

But increasingly, illegals are not even coming here to work.

Roughly two-thirds of undocumented immigrants have lived in the United States for more than a decade, and many are the parents of U.S.-born children. Until 2013, almost all of those trying to cross the U.S.-Mexico border were Mexican citizens and most were individuals seeking work; since then, Central Americans have made up an increasingly large share, reaching 81 percent [PDF] in 2019. Generally, they are coming not for work but to make asylum claims, and many of them are unaccompanied children. Some of these immigrants have different legal rights from Mexican nationals in the United States: under a 2008 anti–human trafficking law, unaccompanied minors from noncontiguous countries have a right to a hearing before being deported to their home countries. The spike in Central American migration has strained the U.S. immigration system, with more than 1.2 million cases pending in immigration courts.

Why do aliens target America? Well, besides being the freest and richest country in the world, there aren’t any consequences for entering illegally. In this report, we learn that crossing the border illegally in Singapore is punishable by six months in prison and three strokes with a cane. In Russia, you can get two years in a prison labor camp. In Pakistan, trespassers can get up to 10 years in prison, while India allows for up to eight years behind bars.

The U.S.? Illegal entry in the U.S. is a misdemeanor, with a maximum of six months in jail.

The U.S. has one of the world’s weaker laws for illegal entry, according to the data in a study by the Library of Congress, which surveyed statutes in more than 160 nations and released its findings amid a heated debate over whether America’s penalties are too stiff.

Yeah, “too stiff.” If progressive Marxists had their way, we wouldn’t have any borders so that illegals could just waltz right in.

Oh, wait. That’s exactly what we have.

We are a compassionate people, but our current immigration policies put American citizens at risk. There are thousands and thousands of documented crimes committed by squatters like Mexican national David Bonola. Remember Mollie Tibbetts? Killed by a Mexican national living here illegally. How about Kate Steinle? Killed by a Mexican national who was here illegally, who had seven felony convictions and had been deported five times previously.

These men and millions like them violate this nation’s borders with impunity and infect our communities by driving up taxes, increasing the burden on our medical and educational systems, and are never punished for their crime of unauthorized residency.

It takes a killing or a rape to get the authorities’ attention.

In this case, Bonola will likely face punishment for murder, but for Orsolya Gaal, his victim, it’s too late.

Let’s hope it’s not your wife, or daughter, or mother, or friend who’s next.

Daily Broadside | In a Few Weeks, The Border Invasion Starts Again

Daily Verse | 1 Chronicles 5:20b
He answered their prayers, because they trusted in him.

Friday’s Reading: 1 Chronicles 6-10
Saturday’s Reading: 1 Chronicles 11-15

Friday and only nine days until May. This year is flying by.

Of course, it can’t go fast enough to get us to November, when we can begin to apply the brakes on our out-of-control federal government. If we’re reading the tea leaves correctly, the Democrats are in for a world of hurt. The House could get a veto-proof majority while kicking Nancy Pelosi back to her floor seat, Republicans could take over all the committees, including the January 6 fiasco, and not only could they legislate, but they could impeach both Brandon and Kamala Harris for their dereliction of duty in upholding the Constitution as they swore to do.

That is, we could see that happen if we aren’t swindled again at the polls when a toilet overflows in Atlanta and shuts down ballot counting in six other states. Even if we do overthrow the anti-American Marxists infecting our government, we still run the risk of the do-nothing GOPe, who never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity. While there are fighters in the House and Senate (Marjorie Taylor Greene, Matt Gaetz, Ted Cruz, and Tom Cotton come to mind), there are still too many RINOs like Lindsey Graham-Cracker, Mittens Romney, and Lizard Cheney. Here’s hoping Cheney is in need of employment come the fall — she could probably get hired by CNN or MSNBC as a token “conservative” by which I mean a Democrat masquerading as a Republican.

You were probably as horrified as I was by the murder of Orsolya Gaal, the 51-year-old Queens woman who was repeatedly stabbed with a kitchen knife, stuffed in an oversized duffle bag on wheels, and dragged nearly a mile from her home before being left for some pedestrian to find the next morning. Turns out police have arrested David Banola, “a Queens transplant from Mexico,” who was having an affair with the married woman and was angry because she didn’t want to continue the “intimate” relationship.

It’s unfortunate that Gaal chose to be unfaithful and got herself into a compromising situation that didn’t end well. But what irritates me most is that Banola moved to the U.S. from Mexico about 21 years ago and police “would not discuss his immigration status.” I’m sure his “immigration status” will eventually be revealed, but the fact that they won’t discuss tell us whether he’s here legally or not is a sign that he’s probably here illegally.

Of course, I could be wrong. But I’d lay even money I’m not.

Mexico isn’t sending us their best, despite what all the open border zealots claim. Our country just wouldn’t be as rich and progressive without the diverse perspectives that people like David Banola bring, they insist. They’re right, you know: spontaneously slicing someone up and stuffing them in a zippered hockey bag for someone to find on a city sidewalk is unique.

Yet Brandon seems to be moving ahead with opening our southern border to thousands of more people just like David Banola: an unknown threat.

Rep. Henry Cuellar on Thursday said the [Brandon] administration told him it’s planning to use law enforcement officers from the northern U.S. to deal with a massive surge in migrants coming to the southern border when Title 42 ends.

Cuellar, D-Texas, who represents a border community and opposes many of President Biden’s border policies, also said it seems the administration seems more interested in quickly moving migrants into the country than border security.

You don’t say.

According to this report (read it all), Brandon is effectively participating in human trafficking by flying illegal border jumpers throughout the United States in the middle of the night.

If it were not for The Post, the public would not be aware of any of the Biden administration’s charter flights, which are fanning out every night, all over the country, delivering illegal migrants from the southern border to oblivious communities.

After a lull late last year, in recent weeks “the charters are back with a fury,” says a whistleblower from Avelo Airlines, one of three charter companies raking in millions of taxpayer dollars whisking migrants out of sight.

Staffers are disturbed by the secrecy of the operation, and the prospect that they are participating in a human-trafficking operation, the whistleblower says.

“The charters are not on our paperwork, not on the [air-traffic] breakdown, not on the schedule, not on the flight plan. They’re not listed anywhere.”

The journey for illegal migrants through Mexico to the US border is facilitated by people-smuggling cartels but the flights into the interior of the country, provided by the Biden administration, are simply the last leg of that human-trafficking operation.

Brandon solemnly swore to “faithfully execute the office of president of the United States and will, to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, so help me God.”

Liar. He had no intention of doing so.

The presidency is not a solemn duty to him and his posse; it’s a means to an end. He grabbed the brass ring and the power to use executive orders to accelerate the fundamental change to the character and culture of this country.

One of the means by which he’s doing that is by not only allowing, but actively facilitating, the invasion of foreign hordes to our soil.

Did you know that,

More than 2.5 million illegal migrants have crossed into the US since Joe Biden took office. Among them were 42 people on the terror watchlist, according to CBP.

Yet when White House press secretary Jen Psaki was asked about these suspected terrorists, she blew off the question, saying it was a tiny proportion of total illegal crossers.

Oh good. We’ll only have 42 terror incidents instead of 2.5 million. What a relief.

OK, that was sarcastic.

Did you know that illegal immigration is a victimless crime?

Sorry. Sarcasm again.

Support for victims, as it turns out, is denied by these activists to one particular group: those who have lost their lives as a result of illegal alien crime, and the families who must live with the loss. In a culture that elevates and too often embellishes victimhood, these “Angel families” are victims in the purest sense, yet they have been marginalized because the circumstances of their losses are at odds with the anti-borders narrative.

[…]

The activist corporate media that claims to give voice to the voiceless would have none of this. The Los Angeles Times was appalled, calling Trump’s spotlight on Angel families “tackiness and rank opportunism.” The Wall Street Journal cited reports from left-wing nonprofits that illegal aliens commit fewer crimes than the native population. The impact of such data is dead on arrival, however, as the amount of illegal alien crime would and should be near zero if our political leaders simply enforced the current immigration laws.

In social media debates I have had with crazed Leftists, the murder and mayhem illegal aliens inflicted on American citizens was excused by comparing percentages of “American” crime to “illegal alien” crime. It was maddening, since none of the crimes illegal aliens commit would have happened here if they were kept out of the country in the first place. But such logic had no impact on the deranged minds of the open borders crowd.

Did you also know that Maine is now a southern border state?

The alien invasion across America’s porous southern border has turned every state into a border state – and every Fake News editor into an agent and a cheerleader for a foreign occupation army.

Here in Maine, 2400 miles northeast of the Texas border, we are the final destination for thousands of illegal immigrants who are being resettled here at taxpayer expense, to the applause of all the really smart people in both political parties.

[…]

It was three years ago this summer when an estimated 500 foreign nationals, most of them from central Africa, crossed the southern border in Texas and boarded buses for Portland, where they were housed at the Portland Expo while state and local officials scrambled to find permanent housing for these asylum-seeking “new Mainers.”

Over the past year, another 1,000+ non-citizen newcomers have made their way from the southern border to Portland, overwhelming the city’s homeless shelters. Many are being housed at taxpayer expense in hotels across Cumberland and York Counties. One hotel in South Portland houses more than 400 non-citizens, half of them children, many of whom are now enrolled in local public schools.

If you don’t have borders, you don’t have an ordered society.

Joe Biden, the failing fabulist who was installed as “president” on January 26, 2020 through a coup orchestrated by the media, tech oligarchs and corrupt state government officials and volunteers, is an anti-American extremist owned by China. He is everything the Left claimed Trump was, but wasn’t.

Once seated, Brandon proceeded to betray his “oath” of office and put Americans in danger and is not, in any sense of the phrase, “preserving, protecting or defending the Constitution of the United States of America.”

Have a good weekend.
