CRISIS: DHS Secretary Engages FEMA to Deal With Massive Illegal Immigration Surge

/0 Comments/in , /by

Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas has enlisted the Federal Emergency Management Agency to handle the ongoing unaccompanied minor and illegal immigration crisis at the southern border, which has exploded in recent weeks.

“I am grateful for the exceptional talent and responsiveness of the FEMA team,” Mayorkas said. “I am incredibly proud of the agents of the Border Patrol, who have been working around the clock in difficult circumstances to take care of children temporarily in our care. Yet, as I have said many times, a Border Patrol facility is no place for a child. We are working in partnership with HHS to address the needs of unaccompanied children, which is made only more difficult given the protocols and restrictions required to protect the public health and the health of the children themselves. Our goal is to ensure that unaccompanied children are transferred to HHS as quickly as possible, consistent with legal requirements and in the best interest of the children.”

‘Migrant President’: Mexico Sounds Alarm Over Biden Policy; House to Debate Immigration Reform as GOP BLASTS Biden Over Border Crisis

/1 Comment/in , , /by

By WND. Some Democratic lawmakers, particularly in border districts, have criticized Joe Biden’s immigration policies, but now concern is coming from south of the frontier.

Reuters reports Mexican leaders, including left-wing president Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, fear the Biden administration is stoking illegal immigration and creating business for organized crime.

Central American nations, said Lopez Obrador, “see Biden as the migrant president, and so many feel they’re going to reach the United States.”

“We need to work together to regulate the flow, because this business can’t be tackled from one day to the next, the Mexican presidentsaid the day after his March 1 virtual meeting with Biden.

Reuters reported internal assessments, based on testimonies and intelligence gathering, state that amid U.S. measures that “incentivize migration,” Mexican gangs are diversifying methods of smuggling and winning clients.

House to Debate Immigration Reform as GOP Blasts Biden Over Border Crisis

By New York Post. The House of Representatives will debate two bills aimed at reforming the US immigration system next week, as Republican leaders slam President Biden for allowing the crisis at the southern border to spiral out of control. . .

Next week, the House will debate two bills aimed at fixing “our broken immigration system,” according to a schedule released Thursday by House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.).

One, the American Dream and Promise Act, would establish a path to citizenship for millions of young illegal immigrants, including those afforded temporary protected status dubbed “Dreamers.” . . .

The attempts at reform come as GOP leaders are blasting Biden for his failure to address the growing humanitarian and security crisis at the border.

“President Biden announced that it was his priority to offer citizenship for 11 million undocumented immigrants,” said House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) during a Thursday press briefing. “What did he think would happen?” (Read more from “House to Debate Immigration Reform as GOP Blasts Biden Over Border Crisis” HERE)

White House Press Cornered on COVID Double Standard for International Travelers vs. Illegal Aliens

/1 Comment/in , /by

Speaking to reporters from the White House Thursday, Press Secretary Jen Psaki failed to explain why Americans and other individuals traveling into the United States by air must show a negative Wuhan coronavirus test for entry — while illegal immigrants crossing the southern border don’t have to do the same.

“In terms of keeping COVID out of the country, does the White House think it’s a problem that travelers have to show a negative COVID test, proof of a negative COVID test, when they fly into the U.S. from any foreign country but travelers don’t need to show anything like that when they walk across the border as long as they don’t go to a port of entry,” Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy asked.

Psaki evaded the question and went after Texas Governor Greg Abbott.

Democrats and Corporate Media Are Starting to Admit ‘There’s a Real Big Problem at the Border’

/1 Comment/in , /by

While the Biden administration continues to deny that there is a crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border, concerns over safety, national security, and even health grow among Democrats and the corrupt corporate media.

One Democratic representative in Texas said it doesn’t matter if the current administration labels it a challenge or a crisis, those in charge of the situation now are responsible for handling the large and unmanageable influx of migrants.

“Look, we can play with words, is it a challenge or is it a crisis,” Rep. Henry Cuellar said. “Let’s look at the numbers. Since August of last year, the numbers have been increasing. And especially October, November, and December we were hitting 70,000. In January we had 78,000. And this is, again, under the Trump administration, now moving into the Biden administration.” . . .

Texas state Sen. Juan “Chuy” Hinojosa, a Democrat, also recently admitted that Biden’s team is unprepared to handle the more than 117,000 projected border crossings by unaccompanied minors. . .

The New York Times’s Zolan Kanno-Youngs recently explained on “The Daily” podcast that the Biden administration is experiencing a lot of “anxiety” over its first “real challenge at the border” as a “steady increase of unaccompanied children” pours into the country. “These crossings are expected to continue,” he noted.

13 Killed in California Crash Allegedly Entered U.S. Illegally via Border Fence Hole

/0 Comments/in , /by

U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials said they believe the victims killed in the collision in Southern California just miles from the U.S.-Mexico border were illegal immigrants who were smuggled through a dilapidated border fence near Calexico.

A Ford Expedition carrying more than two-dozen people collided with a semi-truck in Imperial County, California, on Tuesday, leaving at least 13 dead and more injured, local officials said.

Border Patrol agents and the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) opened an investigation to see whether the car was carrying smuggled migrants.

“We pray for the accident victims and their families during this difficult time,” said El Centro Sector Chief Patrol Agent Gregory Bovino in a news conference on Wednesday. Agents, he said, believe the deceased individuals were part of a larger group of about 44 migrants who were smuggled through a hole in the fence near Calexico, a California city that lies along the border and is next to the Mexican city of Mexicali.

Bovino added that an “initial investigation into the origins of the vehicles indicate a potential nexus to the aforementioned breach in the border wall,” while adding that “human smugglers have proven time and again they have little regard for human life.” (Read more from “13 Killed in California Crash Allegedly Entered U.S. Illegally via Border Fence Hole” HERE)

DHS Makes Dangerous Illegal Aliens Twitter Alert Account Private

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Department of Homeland Security changed its Immigration and Customs Enforcement Alert (@ICEAlert) Twitter account to private. The social media account was previously used to spotlight dangerous illegal migrants living in the United States after being freed by sanctuary cities.

The ICE Alert account is now “protected.” Protected tweets are only visible to Twitter users who are allowed to follow that account. The tweets cannot be reposted.

Jon Feere, a former senior employee at ICE under President Donald Trump, said in a series of tweets that the Biden administration locked ICE’s public safety alert account, which was used to inform the public about the criminal illegal aliens freed by sanctuary cities.

Why Won’t the Biden Administration Allow Media to Tour the ‘Migrant Children’ Facility?

/0 Comments/in , /by

Members of the media will not be able to visit migrant detention centers holding minors near the southern border due to COVID-19, a spokesperson told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

Reporters will not be allowed inside the Carrizo Springs facility for unaccompanied minors that was recently opened under the Biden administration in Texas, a Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (ACF) spokesperson told the DCNF.

“The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) is not hosting media tours of unaccompanied children (UC) facilities currently due to the COVID-19 pandemic,” an ACF spokesperson told the DCNF. “If media tours resume, we will send a media advisory,” the spokesperson added.

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said he would look into why an ABC News reporter was told they would not be allowed to tour migrant facilities in Texas due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic during a White House briefing Monday.

DHS Secretary Invites All ‘Asylum Seekers’ to the U.S. (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas invited an unlimited number of “asylum seekers” to the United States Monday afternoon, but urged them to wait until the Biden administration implements a new way to process them first.

The vast majority of “asylum seekers” are illegal immigrants falsely claiming asylum. Because the Biden administration has lowered the bar for asylum, requiring migrants to utter a few correct words to apply, the system is being overwhelmed and abused. The Trump Administration cracked down on asylum abuse for this reason and implemented the “remain in Mexico policy,” something the Biden administration is currently working to repeal.

In 2019, then Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham explained how asylum abuse works.

Leaked Report: Border Officials Project 13,000 Unaccompanied Child Migrants in May

/1 Comment/in , /by

A Customs and Border Protection staffer told top administration officials Thursday the agency is projecting a peak of 13,000 unaccompanied children crossing the border in May, sources directly familiar with the discussion told Axios.

That projection would exceed the height of the 2019 crisis, which led to the infamous “kids-in-cages” disaster. It also underscores a rapidly escalating crisis for the Biden administration. . .

The administration is already preparing to quickly expand its network of migrant-child shelters, which have had their capacity sharply reduced because of coronavirus protocols. . .

HHS, which oversees the child shelter network, is talking with the Pentagon about finding additional overflow sites, which often resemble big tents. Military bases were used during the 2014 and 2019 crises as additional temporary facilities.

Biden Nominee Pushing Tax-Payer Funded Medicaid for Illegal Aliens

/0 Comments/in , /by

A group of House and Senate Republicans is asking President Joe Biden to withdraw his nomination of California Attorney General Xavier Becerra (D) to be Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary, citing his support for taxpayer-funded healthcare benefits for illegal aliens.

In a letter to Biden, 11 Senate Republicans and 64 House Republicans — led by Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) and Rep. Dan Bishop (R-NC) — are asking Biden to rescind Becerra’s nomination to lead HHS due to his “embrace of radical policies on immigration,” among other issues.

“Mr. Becerra seeks to decriminalize illegal immigration, which would extend expensive government benefits like Medicaid to anyone who illegally crosses our borders,” the letter states. . .

In a report this week, Becerra’s colleagues said he is potentially interested in pursuing policies as HHS Secretary that would expand taxpayer-funded healthcare benefits to illegal aliens.

“… Becerra has repeatedly advocated for undocumented immigrants to have more access to health care and other government benefits, whether through Medicaid or Obamacare,” Politico reported. (Read more from “Biden Nominee Pushing Tax-Payer Funded Medicaid for Illegal Aliens” HERE)
