/1 Comment/in , /by

A Texas Ranger worked with U.S. Border Patrol agents to rescue a six-month-old migrant girl after human smugglers threw her into the Rio Grande near Roma, Texas. The infant’s mother had reportedly been assaulted by the smugglers in Mexico and sustained a broken leg.

Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) officials posted a photo on Facebook showing a Texas Ranger holding an infant girl after she was rescued from the river that separates the U.S. and Mexico. Officials say human smugglers threw the six-month-old girl out of a raft and into the Rio Grande on March 16.

The DPS South Texas Special Operations Group, Texas Rangers Division, assisted U.S. Border Patrol agents in the rescue effort. The report indicates the mother of the child sustained a broken leg after being assaulted by human smugglers in Mexico.

Illegals First Agenda: Biden’s Border Crisis Is Displacing Foster Kids

/1 Comment/in , /by

As President Joe Biden and his administration continue to downplay the surge of illegal aliens, many of them unaccompanied minors, at the U.S.-Mexico border, Americans across the nation are grappling with the changes and effects the Democrat’s disastrous border crisis is having in their communities. . .

Last week, a family located in a suburb of Seattle, more than 1,000 miles from the southern U.S. border, was asked to vacate the home they used to foster approximately 20 children over the last seven years because the nonprofit that provided it to them has “chosen to pursue a different strategic vision” and is beginning to “provide a different scope of services in support of unaccompanied youth.”

Using federal funds offered by the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), Friends of Youth will turn the house, once used to give the family’s foster children who struggle with “severe behavioral problems” a place to live, into a facility for illegal and unaccompanied migrant children, despite the state’s widespread housing shortage for troubled youth requiring “therapeutic beds.” The decision, foster father Edmundo Serena Sanchez told King 5, “had a devastating impact on the four children in his foster care who will likely be required to move to new foster homes” because he can’t afford a house large enough to hold them.

That same week, the Department of Health and Human Services’ ORR requested federal workers to volunteer for “120-day deployments” to assist with the overwhelming number of unaccompanied migrant children flooding the border every day. The offer to become a temporary “field program specialist” that “involves supervising children and assisting with their possible placement with family members living in the U.S.” will allow federal employees to keep their “current rate of pay.” (Read more from “Illegals First Agenda: Biden’s Border Crisis Is Displacing Foster Kids” HERE)

VP Harris Has No Immigration Meetings Scheduled Despite Leading Crisis Response; Illegal Alien Children to Be Housed on Military Bases

/0 Comments/in , /by

By New York Post. Vice President Kamala Harris avoided media over the weekend and has no immigration-related meetings on her public schedule Monday, as the situation at the border continues to deteriorate.

Harris, who was tapped by President Biden to handle the migrant crisis last Wednesday, made no media appearances on any of the highly watched weekend news talk shows — even as lawmakers on both sides of the aisle made the rounds following their respective visits to the border.

The vice president also has no immigration meetings or public events scheduled Monday, according to her diary released by the Office of the Vice President.

The lack of response comes as the Biden administration’s undoing of former President Donald Trump’s border policies has prompted a flood of Central American and Mexican illegal migrants at the US border, including thousands of unescorted children.

DOD and HHS Mum on How Many Migrant Children They Will House on Military Bases

By Washington Examiner. The Pentagon and Department of Health and Human Services continue to conceal just how many unaccompanied migrant children will be housed at military bases across the United States.

As migrants have surged across the border in the opening months of the Biden administration, Customs and Border Protection temporary facilities have become overwhelmed, and migrant children are being transferred to alternate facilities. In past border surges during the Obama and Trump administrations, tens of thousands of migrant children were housed at military bases. Today, the DOD and HHS refuse to disclose the number of accommodations they are preparing for unaccompanied migrant children.

“I’m not going to speak to the numbers,” Pentagon spokesman John Kirby told the Washington Examiner at a Monday press briefing. . .

HHS again declined Monday to respond to an inquiry by the Washington Examiner for the total number of migrants it is planning to house at military bases. . .

Facilities include the two military installations announced by the DOD last week, soft-sided buildings being constructed at Fort Bliss, and 350 beds in a vacant dormitory at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland.

WATCH: Liberals Hypocritical on Biden Border Crisis — Where Is Crying AOC?

/1 Comment/in , /by

Fox News contributor Lara Trump said Monday on Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends” that liberals like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) are being hypocritical about the surge of unaccompanied minors at the U.S.-Mexico border, now that Joe Biden is president. . .

She added, “It’s total hypocrisy. You bring up a great point. The way they covered this under the Trump administration versus the Biden administration is total hypocrisy. Where is the outrage from the folks on the left? Where is AOC down there doing a photo op crying in front of a wall? Because I have news for her, it’s much worse right now than it ever was under the Trump administration, yet it has been crickets from those folks. I think it tells a very scary story.” (Read more from “WATCH: Liberals Hypocritical on Biden Border Crisis — Where Is Crying AOC?” HERE)

/1 Comment/in , /by

In a statement released on Thursday, U.S. Border Patrol agents confirmed that a 9-year-old girl drowned while attempting to enter the United States by way of the Rio Grande River.

According to the release, “U.S. Border Patrol agents assigned to Del Rio Sector’s Marine Unit rescued two migrants attempting to cross the Rio Grande, Mar. 20.” The agents came across three migrants who were “stranded on an island on the Mexican side of the Rio Grande River. Agents found the individuals and immediately began administering first aid while transporting the migrants to shore. Two of the three migrants regained conciousness, a mother from Guatemala and her three-year-old child from Mexico.”

The agents attempted to save the life of a 9-year-old child from Mexico before handing her off to the Eagle Pass Fire Department’s Emergency Medical Services. The statement confirmed, “The child remained unresponsive and was pronounced deceased by medical professionals.”

According to the New York Post, officials stated that the two children were Mexican nationals, and the mother was from Guatemala. (Read more from “9-Year-Old Mexican Girl Drowns Trying To Cross Border Into U.S.” HERE)

Biden Explains Why He’s ‘Flattered’ Illegal Aliens are Pouring Across the Border

/0 Comments/in , /by

During his first official press conference as president Thursday afternoon, Joe Biden was asked about the catastrophic number of illegal immigrants and unaccompanied minors pouring across the border. He responded by saying he’s “flattered” because the people coming think he’s a “nice guy.”

“I guess I should be flattered people are coming because I’m the nice guy. That’s the reason why it’s happening That I’m a decent man or however it’s phrased because ‘Biden is a good guy,'” Biden said. “The truth of the matter is, nothing has changed.”

“It happens every single solitary year. There is a significant increase in the number of people coming to the border in the winter months of January, February, March. That happens every year,” he continued. “The reason they’re coming is that it’s the time they’re coming with the least likelihood of dying on the way because of the heat in the desert, number one. Number two, they’re coming because of the circumstances in country.”

Stunning Report: Number of Unaccompanied Minors Detained at Border in First 20 Days of March Exceeds Full February Data

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .It looks like the crisis is running well ahead of schedule, as more than 11,000 illegal immigrant children were detained by Border Patrol in the first three weeks of March alone, easily exceeding the total from the entirety of February. CNN reports:

The US Border Patrol has detained more than 11,000 unaccompanied migrant children between February 28 to March 20, according to preliminary government data reviewed by CNN, already eclipsing the number of minors apprehended in the full month of February. In recent weeks, the number of encounters of children crossing the US-Mexico border alone has continued to climb, overwhelming the government’s resources that had already been under strain because of the coronavirus pandemic. In all of February, Border Patrol apprehended nearly 9,300 unaccompanied children at the US southern border, up from around 5,600 in January.

Quite the trajectory. The number was less than 800 last April. It began to tick up over the course of several months, then started to increase more sharply as President Trump’s term came to an end. Once Biden became president, the problem has exploded. From 5,600 during inauguration month, to 9,300 in the shortest month of the year, to well over 11,000 (with a week still left to go) in March.

Twitter ‘Mistakenly’ Censors Photos of Overflow Cells

/0 Comments/in , /by

Twitter censored exclusive photos from Project Veritas showing thousands of immigrants sleeping on the floor in tight quarters at a Texas detention center, hiding the content behind a filter marked “potentially sensitive.” Twitter later reversed the censorship, calling it an error.

Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe posted a video featuring a compilation of the photos to Twitter on Monday morning. The video was promptly hidden behind a filter claiming the content was “potentially sensitive,” requiring users with the sensitive content filter to click through the warning message in order to see it.

A Twitter spokeswoman told Breitbart News that the “potentially sensitive content” warning was “incorrectly applied by one of our automated tools and it has since been removed.” (Read more from “Twitter ‘Mistakenly’ Censors Photos of Overflow Cells” HERE)

Whistleblower Releases Photos of Biden’s Migrant Kids in Cages; Democratic Mayor BLASTS Biden for Ignoring Border Crisis

/1 Comment/in , , /by

By Breitbart. James O’Keefe of Project Veritas released photographs Monday from inside a border facility in Texas where migrant children are being held — and taunted the White House as he did so, for denying the media access to such facilities for weeks. . .

In 2014, Breitbart News broke the story of children being held in Border Patrol facilities, which was the first report on the crisis of unaccompanied minors arriving at the southern border.

On Monday morning, Axios released the first photographs from the present wave, noting that the photographs came from Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX). That apparently prompted O’Keefe to release his own photographs and video footage, which he did on social media and at the Project Veritas website.

As he did so, O’Keefe called out White House Press Secretary Jennifer Psaki, who has repeatedly deflected questions from the media about when journalists would be allowed to visit the border facilities to see the conditions for themselves.

Last Thursday, Psaki continued to claim that “the White House and we all in the administration support finding a way to grant access to the media,” but declined to do so, even as she continued to defend Biden’s commitment to transparency.

Democratic Mayor Blasts Biden for Ignoring Border Crisis

By WND. The Democratic mayor of a southern border town says Democratic President Joe Biden is in denial over the magnitude of the immigration problem, amounting to a “slap in the face” to the people he serves.

“You have a breach on national security levels that have never before been seen in modern history and you’re not even batting an eye about it, you’re not even calling it a ‘crisis,’ you’re calling it a quote unquote challenge,” Mayor Bruno Lozano of Del Rio, Texas, told the New York Post on Sunday.

On Monday, Biden’s chief spokeswoman, Jen Psaki, refused once again to call the surge of thousands of unaccompanied minors a “crisis,” insisting it’s a “circumstance.”

“Children presenting at our border who are fleeing violence, who are fleeing prosecution, who are fleeing terrible situations is not a crisis,” Psaki said. “We feel it is our responsibility to humanely approach this circumstance and make sure they are treated, and put into conditions that are safe.” (Read more from “Democratic Mayor Blasts Biden for Ignoring Border Crisis” HERE)

Sen. Ted Cruz Rips Biden for Hypocrisy on Media Blackout of Border

By The Blaze. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) is pressuring President Joe Biden to be more transparent with the media about the migrant crisis at the U.S. . .

In a letter to the president, Sen. Cruz said it was “outrageous and hypocritical” of Biden to bar reporters from access to the situation at the border.

“As part of our oversight duties as Senators, I and 14 of my colleagues will travel to the border this week to talk to the brave men and women on the ground who are working every today [sic] to stop this crisis and secure our border,” Cruz wrote.

“But it is not enough for members of the Senate to see what is happening — the American people must see. That is why I requested that members of the media be allowed to join us. But your administration clearly and emphatically refused to offer press access. This is outrageous and hypocritical.”

Cruz chastised the president’s administration for pledging “truth and transparency” and now breaking that promise. (Read more from “Sen. Ted Cruz Rips Biden for Hypocrisy on Media Blackout of Border” HERE)

White House Calls Early ‘Lid’ as Pressure Grows on Biden Over Border

/0 Comments/in , /by

The White House called a “lid” at 1:13 p.m. on Monday, signaling President Biden was not due to make any public appearances during the rest of the day despite growing questions about the emergency at the border, his administration’s commitment to transparency, and his work rate.

In contrast, former President Donald Trump saturated headlines with two media appearances while surrogates, including his former spokeswoman Kayleigh McEnany, heaped further pressure on 78-year-old Biden. . .

On Monday, White House officials called a lid — the arcane term used when the president has finished his public appearances for the day –— soon after Biden’s press secretary finished briefing reporters and much to the amazement of Trump-era staff.

Judd Deere, White House deputy press secretary under Trump, asked pointedly on Twitter, “On a non-holiday, working Monday?”

The lid does not mean the president has finished his work for the day. The White House public schedule notes that Biden is due to hold a virtual meeting with the Senate Democratic Caucus in the evening. (Read more from “White House Calls Early ‘Lid’ as Pressure Grows on Biden Over Border” HERE)
