New Estimate Says U.S. Now Has 13.7 Million Illegal Aliens, up 37% Under Biden

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Biden’s wave of illegal immigrants is upending the usual demographics of immigration and sending education levels plummeting, according to a report Thursday that raised big questions about the nation’s ability to absorb the newcomers.

The U.S. now has 13.7 million illegal immigrants and 51.4 million immigrants overall — an increase of 6.4 million in three years since Mr. Biden took office, the Center for Immigration Studies reported. That averages 172,000 new immigrants each month, or roughly four times the rate in the Trump years and nearly three times the rate in the Obama years.

Most of the new arrivals are from Latin America, and 3.7 million of the net new arrivals came illegally. Some 44% have no education beyond high school, and a significant number haven’t even completed high school.

“Education is the single best predictor of how you’re going to do in the United States. What kind of job you’re going to do. How much you’re going to make. What fraction are going to be in or near poverty. What fraction are going to qualify for welfare programs — particularly their children,” said Steven A. Camarota, the study’s lead author.

As recently as 2018, 55% of immigrants had a bachelor’s degree. That has dipped to just 41%. Meanwhile, the share who haven’t made it past high school has risen from 29% to 44%, Mr. Camarota figures. Those changes challenge a chief selling point for supporters of high immigration rates. (Read more from “New Estimate Says U.S. Now Has 13.7 Million Illegal Aliens, up 37% Under Biden” HERE)

Ukraine Loses Patience: Give Us the Damn Weapons

/12 Comments/in , , /by

The West should hurry up and hand over the “damn” missiles Ukraine demands, their foreign secretary says, remarking: “We need air-defence systems on the frontlines”.

An essential role of the Ukrainian state since even before Russia’s re-invasion in 2022 has been cajoling and even begging the West for more military equipment, but these calls have occasionally tripped into a more demanding mien. That time has rolled around again with one of the nation’s top politicians making strident demands to help stop the bombs falling.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba, perhaps the final remaining senior member of Volodymyr Zelensky’s government to regularly wear a suit and tie rather than the near-ubiquitous olive green in public, said in quotes distributed by Ukrainian state media: “Give us the damn Patriots.”

The remarks came in an interview with Politico, and Kuleba explained his demand, speaking of new Russian weapons that were harder to intercept. The answer, he said, was to deploy more advanced air-defence weapons on Ukraine’s frontiers to shoot down the aircraft dropping the bombs, rather than the weapons themselves.

He said: “…If we had enough air defence systems, namely Patriots, we would be able to protect not only the lives of our people, but also our economy from destruction… You cannot jam [the new bombs]. It just falls on your head and destroys everything… We need air-defence systems on the frontlines”. (Read more from “Ukraine Loses Patience: Give Us the Damn Weapons” HERE)

Disney Caves in High-Stakes Lawsuit Against Ron DeSantis

/0 Comments/in , /by

Disney on Wednesday capitulated in its long-running legal battle against Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis — handing a victory to the Republican in the high-stakes fight over a $17 billion planned development at the company’s theme park near Orlando.

The Mouse House agreed to a settlement that gives up its self-governing powers over the Reedy Creek Improvement District, which was dissolved by DeSantis in 2022 after the company opposed his “Don’t Say Gay” bill. Disney had controlled the special tax district for decades.

As part of the deal, Bob Iger’s Disney also agreed to drop a lawsuit over access to public records and defer briefings in a federal lawsuit it filed against DeSantis as the two sides try to reach a consensus on a new development agreement for Walt Disney World, among other matters.

“This agreement opens a new chapter of constructive engagement with the new leadership of the district,” Walt Disney World President Jeff Vahle said.

DeSantis took a victory lap after the stunning turn of events, saying his administration was “vindicated” by the settlement with one of Florida’s biggest employers following the two-year feud. (Read more from “Disney Caves in High-Stakes Lawsuit Against Ron DeSantis” HERE)

‘Full Hitler’: Jill Biden Likens Opponents of Gay Porn in Schools to Nazis

/0 Comments/in , , /by

. . .As part of that fearmongering, Jill Biden, in a campaign stop, has compared the conservative desire to rid public schools of gay porn, and have the schools focus on educational basics like reading, history, writing and math to Naziism.

She was speaking at an event for the Human Rights Campaign when she delivered her rant.

“Rights are being stripped away. Freedoms are eroding. More and more state laws are being passed…Just last night, we had to fend off more than 50 anti-gay amendments that Republicans tried to force into the government funding bill… they served only one purpose: to spread hate and fear,” she claimed.

“History teaches us that democracies don’t disappear overnight. They disappear slowly. Subtly. Silently. A book ban. A court decision. A ‘don’t say gay’ law,” she continued, citing Florida’s new law establishing parental rights in education that does not, in fact, even say “don’t say gay.”

She added, “Before World War II, I’m told, Berlin was the center of LGBTQ culture in Europe. One group of people loses their rights. And then another, and another. Until one morning you wake up — and you no longer live in a democracy.” (Read more from “‘Full Hitler’: Jill Biden Likens Opponents of Gay Porn in Schools to Nazis” HERE)

CDC: Measles Cases Reported So Far in 2024 Already Surpassed Those Reported in All of 2023

/0 Comments/in , /by

Fewer than three months into 2024, there have already been more measles cases reported in the U.S. than were reported during all of 2023, according to data posted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The CDC indicates that as of March 21, there had been 64 measles cases reported, compared to just 58 reported in all of 2023.

“As of March 21, 2024, a total of 64 measles cases were reported by 17 jurisdictions: Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, New York City, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Washington,” the CDC reported.

But that figure pales in comparison to the 2019 number, which was much higher. “From January 1 to December 31, 2019, 1,274 individual cases of measles were confirmed in 31 states,” the CDC noted. “This is the greatest number of cases reported in the U.S. since 1992.” (Read more from “CDC: Measles Cases Reported So Far in 2024 Already Surpassed Those Reported in All of 2023” HERE)

RFK Jr.’s Progressive VP Pick Nicole Shanahan Will Doom Biden’s Re-Election

/0 Comments/in , /by

As President Biden struggles to improve in the polls, Democrats are increasingly worried that third-party candidates will swing the election to former President Donald Trump. . .

On Tuesday, Kennedy made himself more lethal to Biden by naming as his running mate the well-divorced California attorney and tech investor Nicole Shanahan. . .

Although Shanahan is a little-known political entity, she is a rich one, reportedly having demanded a cool billion in her divorce from Brin, who was worth $95 billion at the time and had a prenuptial agreement that Shanahan claimed she had signed “under duress.”

Shanahan donated $4 million this year to RFK Jr.’s super PAC, American Values 2024, which promptly used it to pay most of the cost of the candidate’s cringe Super Bowl ad: Featuring hokey music and images from an ad for uncle John F. Kennedy’s successful 1960 presidential campaign and designed with Shanahan’s creative input, the plug bolstered RFK Jr.’s resolve while outraging Democrats.

If Shanahan’s willing to spend more, it could smooth her ticket’s path to a ballot presence in all 50 states in November, likely costing Biden millions of Democratic votes while driving virtually all potential Republican supporters and many independents into the Trumpian fold.

Illegal Alien Accused of Raping ‘Mentally Incapacitated’ Teen: Report

/0 Comments/in , /by

A man who is in the United States illegally has been accused of raping an Alabama teen last month.

On February 20, Pablo Mendoza, 23, allegedly had sex with a 14-year-old girl in Enterprise, Alabama, a city of about 30,000 residents just north of the Florida panhandle. Not only is the alleged victim quite young, but officials claim that she could not consent because she was “physically helpless or mentally incapacitated.”

On Monday, Enterprise Police arrested Mendoza and charged him with first-degree rape, a felony that carries a sentence of up to life in prison. Mendoza has been booked into Coffee County Jail and held without bond. He has a pretrial detention hearing scheduled for next week.

Some reports list Mendoza as an Enterprise “resident,” but Coffee County Sheriff Scott Byrd has confirmed that Mendoza is in the country illegally, WDHN-TV reported. Byrd added that once the case has been fully adjudicated, Mendoza will be deported. Mendoza’s country of origin is unknown, and it is not clear when he entered the U.S.

U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) has laid at least some of the blame for the alleged rape at Biden’s feet. “@JoeBiden is aiding and abetting these monsters. #SayHerName,” Tuberville wrote in a tweet from his personal X account.

Influencer Who Advised Illegal Aliens to Steal Americans’ Homes Is on the Run From Immigration Authorities: Report

/0 Comments/in , /by

An influencer who took to TikTok to advise illegal migrants to steal Americans’ homes is reportedly on the run from immigration authorities.

Leonel Moreno, who went viral after telling illegal migrants to take average of squatters’ rights laws and “invade” empty properties in the U.S., illegally crossed the border in April 2022, according to the New York Post.

Moreno entered the country through Eagle Pass, Texas before being registered in the Alternatives for Detention program, the New York Post reported. Federal authorities reportedly track migrants using ankle monitors and additional methods during the program.

Moreno was categorized as an “absconder” after failing to abide by the program’s rules, internal documents from Immigrations Customs and Enforcement (ICE) obtained by the outlet revealed. The illegal migrant was originally released into the U.S. on parole as a result of overcrowded detention centers, the outlet reported.

“Subject has been on national news for being viral on TikTok encouraging illegal immigration,” ICE documents obtained by the outlet stated. (Read more from “Influencer Who Advised Illegal Aliens to Steal Americans’ Homes Is on the Run From Immigration Authorities: Report” HERE)

Joe Biden Funds Border Security in Foreign Countries as U.S.-Mexico Border Crossings Hit 7.4 Million

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden, with the help of Congress, is spending hundreds of millions in American taxpayer dollars on border security initiatives in foreign countries. At the same time, border crossings at the United States-Mexico border have surpassed 7.4 million since Biden took office.

Slipped into a $1.2 trillion budget signed by Biden last weekend is about $380 million for “enhanced border security” projects in Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Oman, and Tunisia — about $150 million of which must go to border security in Jordan.

Meanwhile, the budget puts strict limitations on the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) ability to construct physical barriers along the U.S.-Mexico border to deter illegal immigration.

“The Biden administration wants nothing more than the ability to ‘manage’ an invasion here at home, all while helping nations abroad build walls,” RJ Hauman with the National Immigration Center for Enforcement (NICE) told Breitbart News. “Make it make sense.”

Kansas Attorney General Will Sue Biden Administration Over Student Loans

/0 Comments/in , /by

Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach will sue the Biden administration on Thursday over its plans to forgive and alter student loans, a spokeswoman for his office confirmed to the Washington Examiner.

Kobach announced in February that he planned to file suit but did not provide an exact time frame for when that would happen.

“Kansas will take the lead in suing the administration, and we intend to win again,” Kobach wrote in the Washington Free-Beacon on Feb. 28

It appears the lawsuit will materialize exactly one month later.

The announcement comes on the same day as the Biden administration’s “SAVE Day of Action,” designed to promote the Saving on a Valuable Education, or SAVE, Plan under which monthly student loan payments are as low as $0 for lower-income borrowers and loans can be written off completely after as little as 10 years.
