. . .One could argue that while both sides now agree that there is a major issue, the left seems to think that the main problem is that the U.S. is not swinging the door wide open for all illegal aliens while conservatives argue that the problem is we do not have a wall to prevent illegal immigrants from coming into the country whatsoever. Regardless, the mainstream media’s coverage of the situation during President Donald J. Trump’s entire term in office has been absolutely dismal in terms of accuracy as to what was truly happening at the border. This video posted by Grabien’s Tom Elliot is proof that leftists in the media have gone from claiming that no problem exists at the border to saying that Trump is responsible for the crisis at the border that supposedly did not exist just five months ago.

Depending on how cynical you are, the video represents either the genuine stupidity or the malicious intent of the mainstream media. It also represents how dumb they think the American people actually are. For years, the mainstream media has said there is no immigration problem. They did this because they were either too dumb and too lazy to do their job or they purposefully hid the reality to paint the president as an idiot. By now admitting there is a crisis, in an insult to their viewers, they think their audience will continue to find what they say as credible. They do this despite the fact their record shows they cannot report on perhaps the number one issue facing America — illegal immigration.
The Democrats should change the Loopholes and Asylum Laws so lives will be saved at our Southern Border. They said it was not a crisis at the Border, that it was all just “manufactured.” Now they admit that I was right – But they must do something about it. Fix the Laws NOW!

Warren: Eliminate Private Insurance, No Restrictions on Abortion
By Daily Wire. Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren said on Wednesday night that if she becomes president that she will eliminate private insurance, force everyone on government healthcare, and will not support any restrictions on abortion.
“Many people watching at home have health insurance coverage through their employer,” NBC’s Lester Holt said. “Who here would abolish their private insurance in favor of a government-run plan?”
Warren and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio both raised their hands.
In May, The Washington Post reported that “over and over again, roughly 7 out of every 10 Americans report that they’re fairly satisfied with the quality of their personal coverage.”
Far-left Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren says that she will eliminate the private health insurance and will force everyone onto government-run healthcare
During a speech at the University of British Columbia by Jenn Smith, who is transgender but opposes teaching children about sexual orientation and gender identity, an alleged member of Antifa went crazy, rushing out, striking an innocent bystander and ending up being detained by police while screaming hysterically.
Smith was speaking on “how transgender politics in school and society is undermining our freedom and harming women and children” as protesters were outside. A fire alarm sounded, and as it rang out the Antifa member bolted out of her seat and up the stairs. Smith said of the alleged Antifa member, “I think the original intent was to go after me but she got spooked by RCMP near me and instead charged out of the building and flailed at the man at the back. This is a pattern of harassment. When I did my Vancouver Island tour I had a group of apparently professional protesters following me from town to town causing disruptions.” . . .
Last night protesters tried to shut down an event at @UBC feat. a trans speaker critical of trans ideology. Students & some faculty had demanded event be cancelled. One masked woman was detained & began screaming & crying on camera. #antifapic.twitter.com/NqimiY6n2t
Smith’s events at Douglas College in New Westminster and Trinity Western University in Langley were both canceled after the schools found out about the nature of the events. The Douglas College event was scheduled for June 8. After it was canceled, Smith wrote, “What we are seeing today is a complete collapse of freedom of speech, while the institutions traditionally tasked with protecting free speech completely abrogate their responsibilities. The media and our institutions of higher learning are now complicit in what is essentially a quasi-fascistic attempt to silence all dissenting views on a subject that involves not only women’s rights, the well-being of our most vulnerable children, but freedom itself, hence the title of my talk.” (Read more from “Watch: Transgender Speaking Against Teaching Kids Gender Identity Triggers Alleged Antifa Member to Go Crazy” HERE)

Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) said her constituents want to see reparations for descendants of slaves in the form of “direct payment.”
Tlaib hopes the House has a “serious conversation” about voting on H.R. 40, the Commission to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African-Americans Act, after the reparations hearing that took place last week in the House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights, and Civil Liberties.
“This is something that is very rooted in trying to combat what’s happened and continues to happen with black Americans not being actually able to get a level playing — on the same level after slavery,” Tlaib, who represents Michigan’s 13th congressional district, said on Capitol Hill.
“I support any opportunity for restorative justice and that can come up all above in some instances, but I think there’s a serious conversation happening in committee and I hope it continues to happen regarding reparations. But I guess it should be determined by all of us and I can tell you at home it is direct payment that people want to see but also increased access to higher education, to real equitable funding in education systems, right now, across the country,” she added.

CNN anchor John King admitted what many liberal critics of President Donald Trump refuse to acknowledge about controversial migrant child detention in a segment Tuesday.
“I just want to remind people, that under president Trump, Democrats don’t like anything he says about immigration, he’s had problems with his own party on immigration,” King explained.
“But this particular issue is not new. I just want to go back, this is an interview, going back to 2014, with the then-Democratic president of the United States,” he added.
“There are some Democrats who come to the table and say Trump created this crisis, this is all about Trump,” King continued. “Alright, maybe it escalated under Trump, the numbers are certainly higher under Trump, but this has been a problem the United States government has had to figure out a solution to, for a very long time.” . . .
“Oh, our message absolutely is don’t send your children unaccompanied on trains,” he said, “or through a bunch of smugglers, that is our direct message to families in Central America, do not send your children to the borders. If they do make it, they’ll get sent back…”

When an American is killed by a foreign national, it is not more tragic or painful for the family members and society than it is when a person is killed by a citizen. However, from a public policy standpoint, it is more outrageous because the death is usually avoidable, and in the case of an illegal alien or legal immigrant with prior convictions, it is 100% avoidable. We can’t pick our natural-born citizens, but we can pick our immigrants and we can and must remove those who are harmful at the first sign of trouble.
Volodymyr Zhukovskyy, 23, was arrested on Monday by Massachusetts police at his home in West Springfield for the negligent homicide of seven motorcyclists in Randolph, New Hampshire, last Friday night. Seven bikers were killed, and three others injured when his pickup truck and attached trailer plowed into the motorcycles traveling in the opposite direction on Route 2.
According to local media, he has two prior DUI arrests, including one conviction in 2013, which led to his license being suspended for 210 days because he was tagged as “an immediate threat.” The other DUI arrest was just last month in Connecticut. He was also arrested in Baytown, Texas, on Feb. 11, 2019, on possession of a crack pipe.
According to WMUR, Zhukovskyy was charged for unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle, negligent operation of a motor vehicle and speeding in April 2012, but charges were dismissed. He also pleaded guilty to two drug charges in January 2017 for possession of cocaine and heroin, but just paid a fine.
In addition to the driving and drug charges, according to the Boston Globe, Zhukovskyy received a 90-day suspended jail sentence in Connecticut in 2015 for larceny after he admitted to stealing ladders and windows at a Home Deport warehouse.
Massachusetts police also found suspected heroin pockets in his home. Zhukovskyy pleaded not guilty at Tuesday’s arraignment.
Video of the arraignment is available here:
Zhukovskyy is not an illegal alien, but is a citizen of Ukraine who resides here on a green card and has been living here with his family for 13 years. However, a green card does not entitle anyone to an affirmative right to remain in this country. It’s a probationary period for them to demonstrate “good moral character” (INA 316(e)). While there are, unfortunately, many Americans who have DUI and drug charges, it should go without saying that immigrants – legal or otherwise – should not be allowed to remain here without good moral character.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement has confirmed with CR that “a detainer has been placed to take Mr. Zhukovskyy into custody at the conclusion of local criminal proceedings.”
Obviously, when it comes to illegal aliens, it makes sense that any illegal arrested for any crime should be deported since they must be deported even if they did not commit any crimes. While we might not want a threshold of deporting legal immigrants for any misdemeanor, there is no reason someone with multiple misdemeanors that includes dangerous driving offenses should be allowed to remain in the country. What is clear is that ICE should have access to all records of foreign nationals and they should be aware of multiple criminal offenses, especially in this case, when there were numerous cross-state arrests that would each individually be viewed as low level within the respective states, but taken together, pain the picture of someone who should be deported.
It’s clear from the fact that ICE is only now requesting information on the 2017 drug conviction that it had no idea of his status at the time.
The 2015 larceny conviction should have made him deportable right away and ICE should have been notified. Theft is included in a crime of moral turpitude making legal immigrants deportable under 8 U.S.C. 1227(a)(2)(A). Then again, in 2017, Zhukovskyy should have been deportable because drug possession (except for certain marijuana offenses) make an alien deportable under 8 U.S.C. 1227(a)(2)(B).
The fact that someone like this could have continued to rack up driving offenses for this long without his past history ever being conveyed to the right authorities demonstrates how the weakness in enforcing current law leads to so many avoidable murders. All deaths at the hands of foreign nationals whom we could have deported are, by definition, avoidable. This is one of the most redressible problems from a public policy standpoint because no foreign criminals should ever cycle in and out of the criminal justice system for years without being removed.
What’s worse is that sanctuary states like Massachusetts work to hide criminal records from ICE to ensure that they can’t weed out the criminal elements among the many good immigrants in this country. Jessica Vaughan of Center for Immigration Studies, who lived in Massachusetts for many years, told CR that Massachusetts laws are “inadequate to protect the public.”
“It is evident that the commonwealth of Massachusetts is failing to manage the issuance of regular and commercial driver’s licenses to prevent unqualified, unsafe drivers from obtaining these credentials, and yet at the same time, the Legislature wants to add to the problem by allowing illegal aliens to receive driver’s licenses. This will make the problem worse because the Registry of Motor Vehicles will have no way to authenticate their identity, meaning that they will have no clue about their past driving history or suitability for a license. Clearly, the state needs to be more restrictive in screening for licenses, not less.”
Then there is the issue of undermining federal immigration officers. According to Vaughan, the bill before the state Senate “would not only discourage sharing of information between local and federal authorities about non-citizens who are a danger to the public, but it would protect them from contact with ICE and even mandate their release while charges are pending, even if ICE is seeking to deport them.”
So rather than preventing situations like this, the bill would also “require the release of an illegal alien who is charged with an atrocity like this – guaranteeing that they remain free in the country and likely free from consequences for their actions.”
Current law could have worked to save the lives of these seven individuals based on the larceny and drug charges. But Congress should go a step further and make two DUIs grounds for deporting legal immigrants. We see so often that manslaughter or homicide is born out of refusal to enforce current law, especially when deportable offenses were suggestive of the ultimate offenses that proved fatal.
In this case, Zhukovskyy should have been deported anyway, but Congress needs to ensure that repeat DUI offenders are deported and that DUI arrests of aliens are sent to ICE.
At Tuesday’s arraignment where Zhukovskyy was charged with seven negligent homicides, Judge Peter H. Bornstein said his “criminal and driving history exhibit a pattern of operating a motor vehicle in a dangerous manner. If released, he will likely present a danger to the safety of defendant or the public.”
The big question is why was this history enough to allow him to remain in the country for the past four years? Moreover, the suspect’s father told the Boston Herald that his son “recently” obtained a green card. If that is in fact true, then it would mean that U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) adjusted his status, even though he had such a robust criminal record.
At the end of the day, Edward Corr, 58, of Lakeville, Mass., Jo-Ann Corr, 58, of Lakeville, Mass., Michael Ferazzi, 62, of Contoocook, N.H., Albert Mazza, 59, of Lee, N.H., Desma Oakes, 42, of Concord, N.H., Aaron Perry, 45, of Farmington, N.H., and Daniel Pereira, 58, of Riverside, R.I., are all dead thanks to the systemic breakdown of enforcing current immigration laws.
Yet, somehow the deaths of Americans due to the lack of immigration enforcement is never as sexy as the death of illegal aliens at the hands of cartels being blamed on our border agents. Sadly, these avoidable murders happen every day and go unreported in the media.

By Townhall. Last night during an interview with CNN, Carroll backtracked her claims and then made an insane statement about rape.
“You don’t feel like a victim?” Cooper asked.
“I was not thrown on the ground and ravished, which, the word ‘rape’ carries so many sexual connotations. This was not sex…this was not sexual,” Carroll said.
“I think most people think of rape, it is a violent assault,” Cooper responded.
“I think most people think of rape as sexy,” Carroll said. “Think of the fantasies.”
Would you look at that — nothing in here about E. Jean Carroll's bizarre comments about rape being seen as enjoyable in the Firefighter Newsletter. But plenty of Fox News bashing though as if they're the real enemy! cc: @redsteeze@robeno@NickFondacarohttps://t.co/dZKOz5XqxE
By The Independent. Donald Trump has denied raping the author E Jean Carroll, the latest woman to accuse him of sexual assault, partly on the basis that “she’s not my type”.
Carroll appeared on CNN on Monday to provide further details of the alleged mid-1990s incident in which she claims Mr Trump cornered her in a dressing room, forced her up against a wall and raped her. . .
Speaking to American publication The Hill in the Oval Office, the US president said Carroll was “totally lying”. He added: “I’ll say it with great respect: Number one, she’s not my type. Number two, it never happened. It never happened, OK?
“I don’t know anything about her,” he said, referring to Carroll. In previous interviews he has suggested he never met the author, until it emerged the pair have been pictured together. “I know nothing about this woman. I know nothing about her. She is – it’s just a terrible thing that people can make statements like that.” (Read more from “Trump Denies Raping Author E Jean Carroll” HERE)

Over the weekend, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., continued to get blowback over her now-infamous comments in which she compared U.S. government facilities to concentration camps used by the Third Reich. This time it came from Donald Trump Jr.
“Guess who knows more about concentration camps than you?,” the president’s son tweeted at the New York congresswoman. “These Holocaust survivors. They have a message for you. Why don’t you listen — for once[?]”
Trump’s tweet included a video from Turning Point USA in which Holocaust survivors David Tuck and Sami Steigmann address the freshman Democrat’s recent controversial comparison of ICE detention facilities to World War II concentration camps.
“I was in four concentration camps,” said Tuck, who shows the number on his arm to the camera. “We have no concentration camps here. This is just a political comment.” He later said, “don’t talk to me about concentration camps.”
“I went through it,” Steigmann — who was subjected to Nazi medical experiments — says in the video. “How can you, looking at my face, tell me that the camps that we have in the south are concentration camps? What you are doing, you are insulting every victim of the Holocaust. Shame on you.”
The tweet and video are available here.
Hey @AOC – guess who knows more about concentration camps than you? These Holocaust survivors. They have a message for you. Why don’t you listen – for once.
Since making her remarks last week, in which she said that overburdened ICE detention facilities are “exactly like” concentration camps used during the Holocaust, Ocasio-Cortez has been invited to educate herself on the matter by visiting the camps by both Polish government officials and a Holocaust remembrance group. She declined the latter invitation over the weekend, claiming that it was a “far-right” move for “political gain.” (For more from the author of “Don Jr. Confronts AOC’s Concentration Camp Remarks with Video of Actual Holocaust Survivors” please click HERE)

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) announced on Monday that he will introduce legislation that would eliminate the estimated $1.6 trillion worth of student debt held by around 45 million U.S. citizens.
Sanders claimed that this massive expenditure can be funded by a 0.5 percent tax on all stock trades, a 0.005 percent fee on derivative trades, and a 0.1 percent tax on bond trades. According to the Washington Post, Sanders believes these taxes would raise $2 trillion over a 10-year period. He did not indicate whether or not his plan included research on if this would have an impact on the stock market or stock trading itself.
The proposed plan would also make community colleges and public four-year colleges free. It is not clear at this point what the full cost of Sanders’ plan would be, when subsidies for public colleges is factored in. The debt forgiveness portion of this legislation would necessarily also have some degree of administrative costs. The plan to cancel student debt appears to be a a one-time offer, and not something that would apply to all holders of student debt in the future.
This bill is in line with other proposals for massive government intervention from Sanders, a self-proclaimed democratic socialist.
Sanders called the plan “truly a revolutionary proposal.”
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) and Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) will introduce similar legislation in the House of Representatives. The legislation also has the support of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who joined Sanders at a news conference Monday morning to announce the proposal.
Fellow presidential hopeful Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) has also proposed a similar plan for student debt forgiveness. However, unlike Warren’s plan which would eliminate only a percentage of student debt based on the household income of the person holding that debt, Sanders’ plan would eliminate all of the debt for every student in the country. regardless of personal wealth or household income level.
Sanders introduced a similar bill, the “College For All Act,” in 2016. (For more from the author of “Bernie Sanders Proposes Plan to Wipe out College Debt for About 45M Americans” please click HERE)

Nowhere is the need for President Trump to shut off asylum requests and build a wall more evident than in the small neighborhoods at the border in the Rio Grande Valley in the southern tip of Texas. The Young Republicans of Hidalgo County posted on Facebook a 90-second video last week of a stream of illegal aliens teaming through a residential neighborhood of Los Ebanos, Texas, near the border of Hidalgo and Starr counties.
First, ask yourself if asylum laws and treaties that are all written in singular language were ever meant to apply to masses of people streaming through our neighborhoods. But the more relevant point is that Los Ebanos, like many border towns in Hidalgo and Starr counties, run right up to the Rio Grande River. Unlike in other areas of the border, such as in Arizona, where there is vast desert or ranchland as a buffer between residential neighborhoods and the international border, these streets run right up to the border line.
Yet, these are the very neighborhoods where the local congressmen bragged about blocking the construction of a border wall.
“I worked hard to include language through the appropriations process that would protect communities from an ineffective and divisive border wall. This change order reduces the number of miles from eight to four in Starr County,” Henry Cuellar wrote in a news release in April.
These areas need a border wall more than any other part of the border because smugglers have the ability to get people across the river and into the neighborhoods within minutes, whereas in the desert areas, Border Patrol can interdict them before they come into contact with the population centers.
While having the danger of family units is bad enough, given the desperation of their situation and coming into contact with those potentially carrying contagious diseases, what is particularly concerning are the “runners” or “got aways” who have criminal records and are smuggled in across the river at strategic locations. Border Patrol Chief Carla Provost has confirmed that over 100,000 illegal aliens have gotten away from Border Patrol this year, and those numbers are likely a dramatic understatement.
Moreover, we now know from Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) that up to one quarter of the members of certain caravans had criminal records already inside the United States. Who knows how many have criminal records in their home countries or are prone to criminality once they get here. Yet, they are walking straight into Texas neighborhoods within a minute of crossing the river.
Los Ebanos, the site of this video, is particularly vulnerable because it is enveloped by multiple river bends, providing the cartels with numerous strategic locations to get over the river and hide in communities or get on the highways within minutes.
Last week, Jaeson Jones, retired Department of Public Safety intel officer and former captain of the Texas Rangers’ Border Security Operations Center (BSOC), explained on my show that the bends in the river are the most dangerous smuggling routes where the cartels exploit the lack of a border wall.
“The reason the wall here is so important is because the river is very close to Highway 83, so what the goal of the cartel is to get people, drugs, weapons or money to 83 as quickly as possible,” said Jones, who just gave Sinclair reporter Lara Logan a tour of the area for an upcoming documentary on the border.
“In some places it’s not even 100 yards away. The small community of Los Ebanos lies just west of where the border wall ends in south Texas. It is ground zero for the largest intelligence collection against U.S. law enforcement being conducted by a criminal organization anywhere in the United States.”
The cartels have people on both sides of the river spying on all our law enforcement and military assets with impunity, according to Jones.
“It would stun people to know that not only are they operating two-way handheld encrypted radios, which local law enforcement don’t have in that area, but they are 25 miles into the U.S. and they even sit at the airports and every time our helicopters take off they are on those radios telling the cartels to shut down their operation,” Jones said. “It is stunning the level of criminal activity in that area. It’s mind-boggling the level of tradecraft our law enforcement is up against there. The cártel del Golfo scouts who control both sides of the river were monitoring us when we were doing the filming just last week.”
Jones also noted that this area is “ground zero” for cartels moving special interest aliens who pose a security risk to the United States.
“They have the easiest route moving people in and out. About 48 miles of this 68-mile stretch doesn’t have a wall and there are only 16 agents operating there,” he said.
Jones posted on his Twitter page a video of the rafts coming right across the river.
TRIPWIRES & TRIGGERS–VIDEO-Ten minutes ago, I posted a video of a helicopter supporting two lone BP Agents on the ground. The helicopter just left to refuel and the rafts are back in the water. This is the exact same location & the Cartel is sending more rafts again. pic.twitter.com/k7qyjxH7yt
Without anything stopping them, they are in a stash house within minutes. Jones lamented how our government continues to view the border as a domestic immigration issue rather than a “national security issue” requiring more robust use of the military.
“We have no operational control at our border,” he said. “Where is the Department of Defense to help our Border Patrol being overrun by the cartels helping them hold the line?”
Indeed, this week, the Senate is debating the annual defense authorization bill (NDAA). Throughout the debate you will hear endless chatter about the Middle East. One issue that will never come up is our own border – “ground zero for the largest intelligence collection against U.S. law enforcement.” (For more from the author of “Video Shows Illegal Aliens Streaming Through Texas Neighborhood Without Border Wall” please click HERE)
