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 | Our Country is Being Destroyed by its “Protectors”

Daily Verse | Habakkuk 3:2
Lord, I have heard of your fame;
    I stand in awe of your deeds, O Lord.
Renew them in our day,
    in our time make them known;
    in wrath remember mercy.

Happy Tuesday, fellow Broadsiders. I find the skunk cabbage and horse radish bisque a bit salty.

I wish I had encouraging news to share most mornings but, alas, the Biden junta and his junior commies are in control of the levers of power. That means that we’re on a fast track to a morally corrupt and bankrupt system that doesn’t give a $#!+ about our Constitution, the laws that supposedly govern our nation, or We the People. What matters to them is virtue signaling nebulous terms like fairness, diversity and systemic racism, while enriching and keeping themselves in power.

The Great Population Displacement continues apace as our completely objective, unbiased Cuba-born Homeland Security secretary, Señor Alejandro Mayorkas, explained matter-of-factly that 12,000 of the more than 30,000 Haitians who have crossed into Del Rio, Texas, since September 9 have been released into the interior of the United States.

“Approximately, I think it’s about 10,000 or so, 12,000,” Mayorkas told “Fox News Sunday” when asked how many have already been released. He then acknowledged that this number could very well go up as the 5,000 other cases are processed.

“It could be even higher. The number that are returned could be even higher. What we do is we follow the law as Congress has passed it,” Mayorkas said.

He’s a liar. He straight up lies to the American people when he says, “we follow the law as Congress has passed it.” Oh, sure, maybe they “follow the law” after the foreigners are in the country—maybe!—but there is no law that says it’s legal for foreigners to simply jump the border because they want to come into the United States.

Congress has addressed our border with “robust immigration laws” (bold emphasis mine):

People may no longer realize that America has robust immigration laws.  You can find them at 8 USC §1151 et seq.  These laws govern all aspects of admitting non-citizens and non-legal residents into the United States.

The laws are predicated on the idea that America has a border and that it has the right to control that border. Congress addressed not being a public charge, working illegally in the country, bringing in dangerous communicable disease, being mentally ill, and being a dangerous criminal or a drug-runner, and required visas, sponsors, and entering through appropriate checkpoints rather than sneaking in. Stuff like that.

Señor Mayorkas is not following the law “as Congress has passed it.” He’s allowing nearly a million people to jump the border this year rather than “entering through appropriate checkpoints.” Worse, Resident Biden is not only complicit in flouting those laws, he’s the lead offender.

One of the first things Joe Biden did upon entering the Oval Office was sign executive orders that either make it harder for government employees to enforce these laws or require them not to enforce them at all. Thus, he stopped work on a wall that had as its sole purpose preventing illegal aliens from bypassing legal border checkpoints. That is, he made it easier for illegal aliens to sneak in.

He also ordered the “restoration” the U.S. asylum system as it existed before Trump. Trump’s approach complied with the law by requiring people seeking asylum to wait in Latin America until they could formally enter America and make their case. Biden’s reinstated Obama approach allows entry to everyone who claims asylum, assigns all of these people court dates, and then shuttles them into America’s interior, where the administration knows they’ll disappear. This isn’t a legal system; it’s aiding and abetting a federal crime.

Biden is also rolling back the “public charge rule,” along with other barriers to immigration. We all know that executives have power over “rules,” except the whole public charge thing isn’t just a “rule.” It implements 8 USC §1182(a)(4), in which Congress explicitly stated that an alien is inadmissible if “at the time of application for admission … [he] is likely at any time to become a public charge.” Again, Biden is ordering government employees to aid and abet a federal crime.

Along with the lawlessness that has created a crisis on the border, the Resident turns around and denounces the very people who are tasked with enforcing the laws (again, my emphasis):

Last week, the entire Democrat-media complex falsely accused Border Patrol agents of whipping Haitian illegal immigrants who were attempting to cross the Rio Grande River into Del Rio, Texas.

These claims were quickly debunked by Border Patrol officials and the photographer who took the pictures. The agents on horseback were using long reins to control their horses,  twirling them to move their horses forward, not to whip migrants.

Photographer Paul Ratje said he and his colleagues never saw them whipping anyone, but nonetheless, activists and elected Democrats—including Joe Biden—eagerly fueled the racially charged lie to deflect blame for border crisis.

“To see people treated like they did, horses barely running over, people being strapped – it’s outrageous,” Biden said, making a whipping motion with his arm. “I promise you, those people will pay. There will be an investigation underway now and there will be consequences. There will be consequences,” he said on Friday.

It’s maddening. The entire house of cards is crashing and it’s the people entrusted with keeping the house standing who are destroying it.

Why do our federal employees get away with their lawlessness? It’s because they’re a cabal of law-breakers who have each other’s backs. We can’t impeach Biden for his incompetence and willful disregard of the U.S. Constitution because he’s protected by the likes of Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi and John Roberts.

There is nowhere to turn.

Daily Broadside | Culture Shock is Being Imposed on Us

Daily Verse | Amos 8:11
“The days are coming,” declares the Sovereign Lord,
    “when I will send a famine through the land —
not a famine of food or a thirst for water,
    but a famine of hearing the words of the Lord.

Happy Tuesday, my Broadside friends. After inventorying my life, I’ve found that I’m low on Flintstones Chewable multivitamins.

Although the Resident and his junior commies in the White House have tried to sandbag reporters’ efforts to report on the southern border, it’s no secret that THERE IS NO SOUTHERN BORDER. You have been paying attention, haven’t you?

The shocking news out of Del Rio, Texas, is that there are now 15,000 foreigners — mostly Haitians — now illegally camped on our soil, with thousands more arriving every day, camped in a shantytown under a bridge.

Some reports say that up to 85 percent of them are Haitian. We don’t share a border with Haiti. Nor does Mexico. So where are these people coming from? How are they getting here?

The Center for Immigration Studies sent a reporter to ask the people themselves where they came from and how they got here, and the answer is shocking for what it reveals about our clueless, incompetent, irresponsible and malicious ruling class.

The surprising answer, which the migrants provided independently in different places and at different times, was universal: on Sunday, September 12, the Mexican government effectively sent a mass of migrants it had bottled up for months in its southern states up to the American border. This move, which appears to have been done under the cover of Mexico’s independence week of celebration known as El Grito, essentially foisted a humanitarian problem onto the Americans in a single week.

Even more disturbing is that once on American soil, many of these illegals will be freed to move around the U.S. unencumbered (my emphasis).

Many are now boarding yet more buses inside the camp, these ones provided by DHS to take them to Border Patrol processing stations. Some may be deported. But most likely will spend a day or two until they get temporary resident permits and a date to appear at an American immigration office in the city of their choice. Then under current Biden policies for families and unaccompanied minors, a great many will be released to travel anywhere in America, boarding yet more buses to those cities and towns.

But here’s the real kicker: most of the Haitians aren’t coming directly from Haiti. They’re coming from countries where they had already relocated and settled (my emphasis).

Based on a report from the New York Times a day or so ago, most are not actually from Haiti anymore, they are resettled refugees from countries such as Brazil, who cannot claim refugee status since being settled. They are economic migrants who are now country-shopping for better benefits packages and prospects. That’s not the same as refugees in flight, much as Julian Castro would have us think.

What are we, on the market? Did someone hang a sign on America announcing, “Vacancy”? Of course they did.

While Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas says our border is closed, here’s the terrifying truth: “The surge to the Del Rio sector follows roughly 200,000 Border Patrol contacts in August. According to projections, the southern border will see as many as two million illegal crossings in 2021.”

What this amounts to is a full-scale invasion of our country. We’re not carefully and thoughtfully controlling who and how many people we allow to immigrate here. We’re not trying to preserve our unique American culture and balance our compassion for the tired, poor and huddled masses with a sense of self-preservation. Of course, such thinking is shamed as racist and xenophobic, not intelligent and consistent with a people of consequence.

I’ve said before that the Democrats support population displacement, and this is another example of it. Another example are the 95,000 unvetted Afghans that Biden administration is resettling in the U.S. over the next year — and 10 Republican governors support his plan!

Hey, with “conservatives” like these, who needs liberals?

These people are irreversibly and insanely demolishing the unique American culture we once shared as a nation by replacing born and bred American citizens with masses of third world dependents who think, probably correctly, that the U.S. government will take care of them. Not to mention the incredible financial impact and burden millions of immigrants place on our hospitals, schools and other infrastructure.

In her book, “¡Adios America!” Ann Coulter writes,

“If U.S. schools still taught U.S. history, this would not come as an exciting surprise, but America is not a nation of immigrants. it’s a nation of British and Dutch settlers. We all have a stake in preserving what they created—”we” meaning all of us, except the very rich and the Democratic Party. If America disappears—the America liberals hate and Wall Street is indifferent to—everyone will suffer” and, few paragraphs later, “Once America is gone, there won’t be anyplace left to go.”

The Democrats and quisling Republicans who collaborate with them are intentionally destroying our nation. It doesn’t matter whether you think taking in millions of poor, uneducated and unassimilated people who are ignorant of American concepts like freedom and self-reliance is noble or stupid — you can’t deny that it is transforming the character of our country and what will be lost will never be regained.

Daily Broadside | Like Magic: Close the Border to Illegals and Presto! The Backlog Goes Away Too!

Daily Verse | Jeremiah 30:6
Ask and see: Can a man bear children?
Then why do I see every strong man with his hands on his stomach like a woman in labor, every face turned deathly pale?

It’s Tuesday my friends. Most people don’t know that my alter ego is a Scottish ax juggler who writes children’s books.

An article published on FoxNews.com makes a comparison between processing border jumpers in the southern U.S. versus the Afghan nationals who want to emirate to the U.S.

The Biden administration has moved to quickly process migrants streaming across the southern border but has not been able to speed up the processing times for Afghan interpreters and other allies who assisted in America’s 20-year war effort.

The White House announced last month that it will speed up asylum claim processing for migrants at the southern border, claiming in a release that they are seeking to “fair, orderly and humane” immigration system after the Trump administration policies “unjustly prevent individuals from obtaining asylum.”

The new policy grants asylum officers full authority to rule on asylum cases, allowing migrants to bypass the federal immigration courts that often are backlogged and have long wait times.

So we’re now streamlining the service to make faster decisions and cutting out the pesky federal immigration court system that are often “backlogged.” Hey, I have an idea! How about we REDUCE THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE ALLOWED IN THE COUNTRY FROM THESE THIRD-WORLD COUNTRIES? Wouldn’t that also “speed up processing times”?

If you go to the Department of Homeland Security’s website (dhs.gov), you can find the full text of the proposal: DHS and DOJ Publish Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to Make Asylum Process More Efficient and Ensure Fairness.

The title is a dead giveaway that this is a woke proposal with the words, “Ensure Fairness.” Fairness? “Fairness” to whom, exactly? The people who legally enter the country legitimately looking for asylum, or the invasion over the southern border of third-world foreigners who come from who-knows-where to the land of plenty to live on handouts and displace the native population?

Population displacement is the goal, friends. Democrats will accuse me and you of “racism” and “xenophobia” and “hate” if you oppose their reckless open borders policies, which is rich coming from the loons running the country formerly known as America. The current administration outright lies when they write in their Blueprint for a Fair, Orderly and Humane Immigration System that they are “reckoning with the prior Administration’s cruel and reckless immigration policies, which exacerbated long-standing challenges and failed to securely manage our border.”

Under Trump’s “Remain in Mexico” policy, anyone wanting to be granted asylum in the U.S. had to wait in Mexico — not in the United States — for their claim to be adjudicated. That relieved the pressure of more people pouring into our country and disappearing into the interior, never to keep their court date.

But Resident Biden and his sidekick Kamala are letting anyone in and then transporting them around the country to be deposited, sometimes in the middle of the night, as I’ve written about previously.

So I’m not sure how they can claim to be doing a better job than Trump when the Pew Research Center reports that Migrant encounters at U.S.-Mexico border are at a 21-year high. I believe Trump was president for some portion of the last 21 years.

The U.S. Border Patrol reported nearly 200,000 encounters with migrants along the U.S.-Mexico border in July, the highest monthly total in more than two decades.

The number of monthly encounters had fallen to 16,182 in April 2020, shortly after the coronavirus outbreak forced the closure of the southwestern border and slowed migration across much of the world. But migrant encounters have climbed sharply since then, reaching 199,777 in July, according to the latest data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), the federal agency that encompasses the Border Patrol.

The July figure is the highest monthly total since March 2000 and far surpasses the peak during the last major wave of migration at the U.S.-Mexico border, which occurred in May 2019.

Our so-called leaders talk as though every citizen of the world has a right to apply for asylum here. Sure, everyone has that action available to them, I suppose. But we also have the right to shut off the spigot when we have a backlog and long wait times.

There is no “law” that says we must always and forever hold our doors open to anyone who decides they’re coming here. We Americans have the right and the duty to protect our borders, our citizens, our economy, and our way of life. No one and no group of people have the right to just let themselves in and settle down.

That’s not the way it’s supposed to work, but that’s how the junior commies have decided it will work. They are invested in flooding our nation with future Democrat voters to keep themselves in power, and they don’t care if they have to turn our country into a third-world sh*thole to do it.

Really, they don’t.

It’s past time we begin to think about kicking the Democrat commies out and taking control of our borders for good.
