GOP Is Holding Democrats Accountable for the Border Crisis

/0 Comments/in , /by

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), who is set to be the leader of the House Judiciary Committee, is calling on 11 Department of Homeland Security officials to give voluntary testimony and compliance as Republicans launch an investigation into the border crisis and the politicization of the Justice Department.

In a letter, Jordan criticized ten officials, including DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, over “serious allegations of abuse and misconduct within the senior leadership.”

For the past 21 months, Republicans have investigated the lawlessness of the department that has allowed for chaos at the border. Since the GOP won the House, those investigations will intensify.

“Over the past twenty-one months, we have made several requests for information and documents concerning the operations and actions of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and its components,” Jordan’s letter states. “To date, you have ignored these requests, or you have failed to respond sufficiently.” (Read more from “GOP Is Holding Democrats Accountable for the Border Crisis” HERE)

Border Town Families Are Reportedly Hiring Armed Security Amid Illegal Immigration Surge

/0 Comments/in , /by

Some residents of the border town of Yuma, Arizona, have hired armed security guards as the town has become overwhelmed with illegal immigrants.

Border Patrol’s Yuma sector has seen a 171 percent increase in migrant crossings between 2021 and 2022, according to Fox News. Nearly one million of the four million migrants who crossed the border came through Arizona.

“Two of these families down here actually had to hire private security guards — armed security guards — to keep people out of their yards,” a Yuma county supervisor, Jonathan Lines, told Fox News in an interview. “They were constantly having people come into their homes, into their yards, and they were not very respectful.”

The damage to the crops because of the illegal immigrants impacts the town’s food production, Lines continued.

“National security also relates to our food security,” he said. (Read more from “Border Town Families Are Reportedly Hiring Armed Security Amid Illegal Immigration Surge” HERE)

Border Patrol officials are pleading with immigrants not to attempt the perilous journey to the US after nine migrants recently drowned trying to cross the Rio Grande, according to a report. ​

Chief Patrol Agent Jason Owens of the Del Rio Sector issued a “warning of extreme importance” on Saturday about rising waters and dangerous currents.

“Despite these adverse conditions, U.S. Border Patrol, Del Rio Sector continues to encounter more than 100+, 200+ attempting to cross the Rio Grande daily​,” it said. ​

Owens said at least nine people have died over the past several days trying to cross the border, and “in an effort to prevent further loss of life, we are asking everyone to please avoid crossing illegally.”​​ (Read more from “Border Patrol Pleads With Migrants Not to Come to US After Nine Drownings” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , /by

U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents seized an estimated $4.3 million worth of fentanyl pills on Wednesday evening.

The seizure happened in the Tuscon, Arizona Sector when agents conducted a vehicle stop on a white Chevy Equinox and observed several duffel bags in the car, according to a press release. Agents also noticed that the female driver was “noticeably nervous as she was questioned.” Another female was in the car, and both are U.S. citizens, according to officials.

CBP agents then searched the vehicle with her consent, and found three bags that contained packages wrapped in black tape, in addition to being coated in axle grease, according to the government agency.

It was later determined that the 340 packages of fentanyl pills weighed a total of 187 pounds and was estimated to have been worth $4.3 million.

DHS Anticipates Record-Breaking 441 Unaccompanied Children per Day at Border

/0 Comments/in , /by

An average of 441 unaccompanied children will cross the U.S.-Mexico border into border patrol custody every day this year, according to estimates from the Department of Homeland Security.

President Joe Biden’s administration is reportedly expecting between 148,000 and 161,000 unaccompanied minors to cross the border in the fiscal year 2022, according to documents obtained by the Washington Examiner.

The documents reportedly detail the response to the influx from the Department of Health and Human Services, which is responsible for placing unaccompanied minors into homes. U.S. law states that such minors cannot be sent back across the border unless their country of origin is either Canada or Mexico.

The estimates indicate a sharp increase over 2021, in which U.S. Customs and Border Protection encountered 112,433 unaccompanied minors. (Read more from “DHS Anticipates Record-Breaking 441 Unaccompanied Children per Day at Border” HERE)

Biden Admin Debunks Infamous Border Patrol ‘Whipping’ Incident Once and for All

/0 Comments/in , /by

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) found that Border Patrol agents who many mistook to be “whipping” Haitian migrants at the border never whipped anyone, according to CBP Commissioner Chris Magnus.

The September 2021 “whipping” incident took place in Del Rio, Texas, when Border Patrol agents on horseback attempted to push back dozens of Haitian migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border. Several agents were seen using their horses’ reins to maneuver around the migrants and push them back.

Many commentators, including prominent Democrats and activists, mistook the reins for whips and alleged the agents were whipping the Haitian migrants.

“Whips are not part of Border Patrol training or equipment,” Magnus said, adding that CBP found no evidence Border Patrol agents struck any migrants, either intentionally or on accident, with their reins.

However, CBP did find that the Border Patrol unit involved in the incident “twirled” their reins in violation of CBP guidance, according to Magnus. (Read more from “Biden Admin Debunks Infamous Border Patrol ‘Whipping’ Incident Once and for All” HERE)

Voters Are Frustrated with Biden’s Ongoing Border Crisis

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .A poll conducted by Rasmussen Reports found that 73 percent of Americans consider immigration a critical issue for the U.S.

Fifty-two percent of voters believe the problem of illegal immigration is getting worse by the day.

They’re not wrong. Since the beginning of 2021, the number of illegal aliens crossing the border has increased tremendously, reaching over 200,000 encounters per month on several different occasions, according to the Washington Examiner.

Sixty-seven percent of respondents said that Biden has done a “poor” job of handling the immigration issue, citing that they don’t believe it will be better any time soon.

This comes after Thursday’s Supreme Court ruling allowing the Biden administration to abandon a Trump-era “Remain in Mexico” policy. (Read more from “Voters Are Frustrated With Biden’s Ongoing Border Crisis” HERE)

‘Beyond Pissed’: Border Patrol Hits Rock Bottom Under Biden

/0 Comments/in , /by

The morale of U.S. Border Patrol agents on the southern border has been sinking steadily over the past year, but it now has hit rock bottom amid outright animosity from the Biden administration, the Washington Examiner reports.

“Under Biden, things are the worst they have ever been by far,” said one of eight agents who spoke with the paper about the situation.

“Agents are calling in all the time. You always hear, ‘It doesn’t matter,’ or, ‘What’s the point?’ in reference to doing our job,” the Arizona-based agent said. “Agents are afraid of ending up on the news for doing their job or getting in trouble for doing their job. There is no morale.”

Amid a change in policies from Donald Trump to Joe Biden, the agents have been battling the largest migration event in U.S. history. The physical workload has been overwhelming.

President Trump’s “Remain in Mexico” policy, for example, kept asylum seekers in Mexico while their applications were being processed. (Read more from “‘Beyond Pissed’: Border Patrol Hits Rock Bottom Under Biden” HERE)

Border Patrol Agent Rushed Into Texas School and Killed Shooter Without Waiting for Backup

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A U.S. Border Patrol agent who was near the Texas elementary school that was attacked on Tuesday did not wait for backup as he rushed into the school and killed the assailant.

The tragedy unfolded when an 18-year-old male stormed Robb Elementary School and began opening fire on students. The Daily Wire is not naming the suspect due to company policy about not giving notoriety to mass murderers.

“A Border Patrol agent who was nearby when the shooting began rushed into the school without waiting for backup and shot and killed the gunman, who was behind a barricade,” the Associated Press reported. “The agent was wounded but able to walk out of the school.”

Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin confirmed the report, writing that the agent was “an elite BORTAC Border Patrol agent.”

Americans Last: Border Detention Center Holds Boxes of Baby Formula Despite US Shortage

/0 Comments/in , /by

As American families deal with a shortage of baby formula across the US, a Florida Republican lawmaker has released images of dozens of boxes of the coveted product at a migrant processing facility near the US-Mexico border.

Rep. Kat Cammack shared pictures of “pallets” of infant formula at the Ursula Migrant Processing Center in McAllen, Texas on her Twitter and Facebook pages Wednesday.

“The first photo is from this morning at the Ursula Processing Center at the U.S. border. Shelves and pallets packed with baby formula,” she wrote in a tweet accompanying side-by-side photographs of full and bare shelves. “The second is from a shelf right here at home. Formula is scarce. This is what America last looks like.”

Cammack’s office shared several additional images supposedly from the same location with The Post on Thursday. . .

In a video posted to Facebook, Cammack noted that while migrant children deserve to be fed, the stockpiling was just “another example of the ‘America Last’ agenda.” (Read more from “Americans Last: Border Detention Center Holds Boxes of Baby Formula Despite US Shortage” HERE)
