According to the DOJ, Gonzalez helped smuggle “dozens of migrants” from South America to the United States illegally so he could profit from their labor. He faces a maximum of 120 years in prison and will be sentenced March 18. //

Once in Philadelphia, Gonzalez and his co-conspirators picked them up at the airport, and took them to a residence in Chester used to house aliens.

Gonzalez told the five they owed him “substantial debts for his assistance” and that they should remain in one of the homes he owned and work at jobs he arranged to pay off the debts. The debt was much more than the cost of transporting and housing them, although the indictment did not say how much he demanded. //

Most illegal immigrants do not understand they are getting involved in a trafficking scheme, Arthur said. //

President-elect Donald Trump has nominated his former Director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Tom Homan, to lead border enforcement. Arthur says detaining people who have entered the U.S. illegally until it is determined if they should be allowed into the country would be a “gut punch” to trafficking. And although he has not heard Trump or Homan speak to this yet, Arthur recommends ending the CHNV program due to its exploitation by traffickers.

“This is new age slavery; 159 years after the 14th Amendment, we are still faced with this scourge. And unfortunately, the immigration policies of the current administration facilitate trafficking,” Arthur said.

This is heartbreaking. A 10-year-old boy was rescued by Texas State Troopers after he crossed the border on Thanksgiving Day. He was abandoned by smugglers in the middle of nowhere.

Where is @AOC and her little sullen, puppy dog eye photo-ops for this little boy?

9:54 AM · Nov 29, 2024.

Democrats owe this boy an apology.

"They left me alone," he tells authorities through a quivering voice.

Not only was he abandoned by the smugglers, but he's been abandoned by the very party that, for years, pretended to champion the cause of children brought to the United States illegally. There has not been one Democrat politician who has commented on this video as of yet. Not one person who previously cried their little crocodile tears over fake stories of 'kids in cages' spoke up in support of this poor, young child. //

It's odd how there was also radio silence from the 'but the children' Democrats earlier this week, when a two-year-old girl from El Salvador was found alone at the US border in Maverick County, Texas.

This child was clutching a piece of paper with a name and phone number, telling police she was there to find her parents, who reportedly already live in the United States.

She was among a group of over 200 illegal immigrants, including 60 unaccompanied minors, detained after crossing the border. //

Trump's incoming border czar, Tom Homan, himself grew emotional when discussing the two-year-old found alone at the border.

“That is an example of what I’ve been saying for the last few years, that illegal immigration is not a victimless crime,” Homan told the New York Post.

He added,

“People always ask, ‘Why do you get so emotional when you’re on Fox News, why do you get so emotional when you’re testifying to Congress and start yelling?’ It’s because I’ve seen more tragedies in 34 years than I can stomach. I’ve held dying children and I’ve helped dead children."

Nobody on the left helped. Nobody has even said a word. //

I want the Democrats that let this happen or championed it to have to wander with only a piece of paper and the clothes on their backs throughout the wilderness in that area with no guide, and certainly no help from Border Patrol, who they despise and want to dismantle. Maybe the ones that made it out alive could knock sense into the rest of their ilk. Inclusion and equity, you know?

In a grotesque display of utter disdain for America and its citizens, MSNBC legal analyst Danny Cevallos wrote an article entitled "Laken Riley's Killer Never Stood a Chance," in which he argues that Jose Ibarra, the violent, remorseless thug who took Laken Riley's life, "apparently had no chance with the judge" who found Ibarra guilty and sentenced him to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

It's the sentencing that seems to have gotten under Cevallos's skin and led to that headline. The judge decided that Ibarra should serve his numerous convictions consecutively and not concurrently, meaning Ibarra will never again be a free man. Deservedly so. Based off that hideous headline, however, it's easy to conclude that Cavallos, and, indeed, MSNBC, think Jose Ibarra should get out of prison someday and live a life of freedom, something that has been denied Laken Riley. //

It's not the merits of the case that's the point here; it's the sentiment of the media as embodied by MSNBC and that sick headline that's the true story. Illegal alien Jose Ibarra, though undeserving, got the very best of the American judicial system, and he received the verdict he so richly deserved. But MSNBC's takeaway is that the U.S. is not doing nearly enough for the illegals who are wreaking havoc on our society.

As this article's own headline says, the media hates you far more than you hate them. //

This crime should never have happened. Jose Ibarra should have never been here, and Laken Riley should be, at this very moment, getting ready to spend Thanksgiving with her loving family. Shame on MSNBC for their terribly bad take.

On one level, I don't blame the Dynamic Duo for not wanting to show up. The trial of Laken Riley's murderer just wound up (Laken Riley's Family and Friends Give Heartbreaking Impact Statements; Judge Sentences Jose Ibarra), and I can understand why they don't want to talk about immigration. I can also understand that both of these guys know they are leaving office in the next couple of months, and they don't see any use in taking the public beating this hearing would entail.

Paradoxically, this move could boost Trump's upcoming showdown with the Department of Justice, DHS, and the FBI. They are showing themselves to be a pampered, privileged group that doesn't think they have to answer to even a senior senator in the ruling party. I predict this will not work out well when the hammer falls, and they come running to guys like Peters to make the pain go away.

Democrats get emotional over the criminal illegal aliens.

Incoming Border Czar Tom Homan gets emotional over their victims (and their families) of their crimes.

That's how you know the right man for the job is coming.

6:15 AM · Nov 21, 2024

“You know, Laura, a lot of people ask me why I get so emotional when I do Fox News and why I scream at members of Congress. Because I have seen so much tragedy," elucidated Homan. "I have talked to hundreds of angel moms and dads who bury their children because they’re killed by illegal aliens. This is the latest."

"I have talked to little girls as young as 9 years old that were raped multiple times by members of the cartel," he said, eyes looking off to the side to fight off tears. "When you look in their eyes, and everything innocent and pure has been ripped from their soul, and their life will never be the same, I’m just — I’m tired of it." //

Homan told Ingraham that the "government failed" the family of Laken Riley, adding her death "could have been prevented."

He suggested Democrat politicians listen to the tapes to understand the pain of the victim and her family.

"This young lady is dead," he condemned. "And I want every mayor, every governor of a sanctuary jurisdiction to listen to that tape, listen to this young girl fight for her life, fight for her breath, trying to survive, terrified. I want you to understand what she went through."

Though WaPo acknowledged Trump narrowly won Springfield, it did not disclose that he had lost it twice before //

That changed last week when Trump carried Springfield by a razor-thin margin of roughly 150 votes out of more than 20,000 cast. The flip helped drive up Trump's margin in Clark County to its highest level: Trump won 64 percent of the county vote this time around, the highest margin for a Republican presidential candidate in at least four decades.

But there are already good signs in the wake of the sweeping Republican victory, as illegals in a massive caravan traversing our neighbor to the south have reportedly started to abandon it and turn back:

The caravan, which began earlier this week in southern Mexico, included approximately 3,000 migrants seeking asylum or economic opportunities in the U.S.

It's telling that one woman who wasn't deterred by Trump's win name-checked CBP One as giving her hope:

Speaking to Reuters, another Venezuelan migrant, identified only as Jeilimar, explained that she hopes to secure an asylum appointment via the U.S. Customs and Border Protection's CBP One app before Trump takes office in January 2025.

"With God's favor, I'll get that appointment," she said. //

MX is bussing migrants straight to the U.S. border for their CBP One cell phone app appointments.

Roughly 1,300-1,500 migrants are allowed into the U.S. every day via this Biden program.

If she really wants asylum she must apply in the first neutral country she crosses. We share no border with Venezuela.

So this is a failed application from the get go. Apply in any contiguous country or register at the closest US embassy office. Get in line. We'll get back to you.

Images emerging from trail cams placed on a family farm in a small Vermont town are a stark reminder that border security in the North is also a disaster under the Biden-Harris administration.

The images come from Newport Center, a town with a population of about 1,500. The cameras are situated roughly 2.5 miles south of the U.S.-Canadian border.

The Newport Dispatch reports that multiple cameras on the LeBlanc family farm caught multiple groups of men traversing the property, including one image capturing "what appeared to be several men led by a guide wearing a turban."

The property owner notes that the man in the turban, eyes glowing in the images, was spotted making separate runs "back and forth" to guide different groups. //

LeBlanc indicates that the activity is consistent and widespread, claiming neighbors have witnessed groups of illegal aliens emerging from the woods.

“This is an everyday thing,” he explained. “It’s definitely concerning, and we definitely have an uneasy feeling. You can’t really let the kids go alone anymore. It just puts a spin on things that we’re not used to.” //

VTDigger published an extensive report in August indicating border patrol agents have been surging to the location as they battle "record numbers of migrants attempting to cross the Canadian border into Vermont and neighboring states."

A border patrol official overseeing operations in Vermont, New Hampshire, and New York, told the outlet his agency has "seen a number of apprehensions that we’ve never seen in our recorded history in this area.”

Tuberculosis used to be a global plague. Many contracted TB, and many died from it, from Britain's Henry VII to America's John Henry "Doc" Holliday. It's also a fairly simple disease, caused by an agile little bug, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which has the unfortunate propensity to develop into antibiotic-resistant strains. And what's more, it's a bug that's contagious, can be spread by aerosol, and is a prime subject for use as a biological agent.

On Wednesday, a report surfaced that Lousiana's Governor, Jeff Landry, and the state's attorney general, are suing Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas over the case of an illegal immigrant, from China, who was discovered to be carrying a rare, drug-resistant strain of tuberculosis: //

The very notion of biological warfare should scare the ever-loving kapok out of anyone who understands it, and if one was going to introduce a biological agent into another country, this is one way you'd do it - but you wouldn't send just one carrier. You'd send hundreds or thousands.

Like the tens of thousands of Chinese nationals who have entered the country illegally since January of 2021, through our wide-open southern border. //

TB (also known as consumption or "the white plague" or in Spanish, "La Miseria, which sort of captures the essence of the TB experience...) is easily the greatest killer in world history. TB death rates at times were as high as one in every five or six people who shuffled off the mortal coil each year. It still kills over a million people each year worldwide and it's been doing that or much, much more for at least 4,000 years, so do the math. Drug resistant TB is a national security threat. If antibiotics start failing against TB, we're in real trouble. It should scare everybody.
Unfortunately, I don't believe Alejandro Mayorkas gives a hoot in hell about this threat.

CNN Host doesn't want to get rid of illegal immigration because there will be nobody to 'pick your crops.'

11:12 AM · Oct 18, 2024 //

JENNINGS: He's going to crack down on immigration to the benefit of the American worker.

RAMPELL: He's going to deport 20 million people? The people who pick your crops? The people who process your meat? The people who, you know, care for your grandmother? The people who serve all sorts of critical functions in this country?

My word, talk about not hiding the ball. Apparently, illegal immigrants are the only people in the country who can pick crops, process meat, and take care of old people. Who knew? Never mind that there are already work programs in place that allow seasonal workers to come in and "pick the crops."

So what's Rampell really saying? She's saying that it's more important to have illegal quasi-slave labor to ensure her standard of living than for the nation's laws to be followed. That seems rather exploitative of the CNN panelist, doesn't it? Democrats sure love to talk about fair wages until it comes to illegal immigrants working for minimum wage to save a few cents on fruit.

Could you imagine NBC News in 1863 after Abraham Lincoln gave the Emancipation Proclamation? "Lincoln's plan to end slavery for the first time in history would jeopardize an agriculture industry already facing shortages and push costs higher." That is literally the argument these news outlets are making about illegal immigration. They don't even try to pretend anymore. They want their cheap labor, and they don't care about what they have to do to get it.

Gangs have taken control of several of our properties in Aurora, Colorado.

In an attempt to discredit this fact for political purposes and avoid governmental accountability, some have spread false information about our situation. Let’s set the record straight...🧵

3:32 PM · Oct 11, 2024 //

But in this case, the decision was made in January 2021, when Joe Biden signed executive orders largely undoing Donald Trump's border policies and effectively throwing the border open. There was illegal immigration before that, but the Harris/Biden administration's policies have allowed it to explode.

This mess in Aurora, Colorado, is just one of the outcomes of that catastrophically bad decision. And the root cause can be laid squarely at the feet of Joe Biden and Kamala "Border Czar" Harris.

You had a case in Georgia not very long ago didn't you, they were mad about a young woman who'd been killed by an immigrant. Yeah, well, if they'd all been properly vetted that probably wouldn't have happened. But if they were all properly vetted, that doesn't happen, and America is not having enough babies to keep our population up, so we need immigrants who have been vetted to do work, there wouldn't be a problem. And he [Trump] couldn't keep people all torn up and upset.

WELKER: We should note that FEMA funds were actually redirected on Donald Trump's watch to deal with the migrant issue. Let me ask you, you mentioned the medical records, should Trump...

I want to stop there because while Johnson fact-checks her, the bigger issue here is the framing. To these journalists, the illegal immigration issue is just a talking point. Context does not matter, which is why Welker thinks she has a gotcha moment. It's not, though. As Johnson points out, the fund in question is created and appropriated every fiscal year.

That means that what has been spent under President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris is their responsibility. The amounts also matter. For example, under Trump, the EFSP-H was only given $30 million. In Biden's first year, the number was $150 million. //

In Johnson's segment with Kirsten Welker on "Meet the Press," Welker decided to insert the lie that the monies FEMA diverted from disaster preparedness and relief into "migrant resettlement" started under Donald Trump's administration. Johnson quickly divested this, and pointed out that the funding was not needed because Trump had secured the border. It was Biden-Harris who signed 92 executive orders to remove the proven border policies Trump had in place. The look on Welker's face alone is worth the watch.

JD Vance schools the host on negative impact illegal immigration has on the economy.

Host: The reason that there is a housing crisis is that not enough houses have been built.

Vance: … And that we have 25 million people who shouldn't be here.

There she goes again. Does she believe that only Hispanic illegal immigrants are capable of doing construction work? That's quite the assumption to make when arguing in favor of continuing to break American laws. //

It's incredible to me how open mainstream journalists are about their desire to facilitate human trafficking for them to live their upper-crust lifestyles. Bringing in illegal immigrants to work for quasi-slave wages is not a solution to the housing crisis. It exacerbates the problem, distorting the market, both regarding demand for housing and wages to build homes. //

Vance knows this topic better than anyone, and I'm dumbstruck how any reporter still thinks they can corner him on it. Garcia-Navarro, continually attempting to interrupt to inject her talking points, ends up looking ill-informed and supportive of abusive immigration and labor policies. That's probably because she is. //

Thanks, J.D. I knew you were good, and was pulling for ya to be the VP pick, but you are better than I even imagined.

His new film “Line in the Sand,” however, may go down as his biggest achievement yet, as it is a powerful, moving look at the border crisis, the human trafficking that goes with it, and the moral rot at the center. /)

I asked him what surprised him most while making this film, and he said it was the endless grift:

All the people that are on the take, all the people that were making money off of this. All the people that were not willing to do the right thing because they wanted to benefit. I don't know if that was surprising—but it was shocking to hear what people were saying.

Line in the Sand (2024) - Official Trailer | James O’Keefe, Debut Film

Undercover journalist James O'Keefe goes to the front lines of the migrant industrial complex using hidden cameras and raw testimonials. O'Keefe reveals the shocking reality of the U.S.…
Embedded video
11:06 PM · Oct 9, 2024 //

Perhaps the most interesting thing he revealed, however, is just how much money is involved in perpetuating the problem and how many people on both sides of the boundary are benefitting from it—even as it endangers our country and causes misery for untold thousands (millions?).

Although O’Keefe didn’t get especially political in the film, the reality that he deftly portrays is one of a humanitarian disaster in large part caused by the corrupt Biden-Harris regime, aided and abetted by NGOs and others profiting from pain.

“Noncitizens voting in federal elections is illegal under the ‘Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996,’” Braynard said in a statement announcing the ad blitz.

“However, there are still cases of it occurring, putting noncitizens at risk of facing serious charges and of affecting the outcome of our elections,” he claims.

One such ad, posted to YouTube, begins by reminding all Americans of the importance of voting in the elections come November. But should one attempt to cast an illegal ballot, they face significant repercussions. //

The group also cites a peer-reviewed scientific study published in Electoral Studies in 2014 that found non-citizens had, in fact, voted in U.S. elections.

The study claims non-citizen voting “likely changed 2008 outcomes including Electoral College votes and the composition of Congress.”

It also reveals that “non-citizens favor Democratic candidates over Republican candidates.”

It goes to the heart of an argument long made by X CEO Elon Musk, who has repeatedly pointed out that the census counts illegal aliens, affecting the congressional makeup in blue states and incentivizing Democrats to allow open-border policies to continue unabated.

“If Dems win President, House & Senate (with enough seats to overcome filibuster),” Musk warned previously, “they’ll grant citizenship to all illegals (and) America will become a permanent one-party deep socialist state.”
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0261379414000973 //

In addition to allowing non-citizens to be counted towards congressional apportionment, the Biden-Harris administration has been actively granting citizenship to immigrants at speeds not seen in over a decade.

They’ve spent hundreds of millions of dollars on services for illegal immigrants as Americans struggle after Helene. //

While the emergency response agency is typically proactive, with pre-staged supplies ready for immediate rescue operations, that same support was clearly not available to the Appalachian towns where Hurricane Helene wrought havoc. Instead, the Biden-Harris administration restructured FEMA to provide services for illegal migrants with a new bureaucratic mandate to instill “equity as a foundation of emergency management.” Storm preparedness ranks as a third priority for the disaster relief task force under “lead[ing] whole of community in climate resilience.”

According to the government’s website, FEMA has spent more than $1 billion “to provide humanitarian services to noncitizen migrants following their release from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS)” under the “Shelter and Services Program” just within the last two years.

Whenever states try to limit illegal immigration, democrats (and their lapdog judges) tell us immigration is under federal jurisdiction, and we have to capitulate to their enabling of foreign invasion.

When President Trump sought to enforce immigration laws, the democrats responded with "sanctuary" cities and states, telling us local jurisdictions were to decide.

The judges let them have it both ways, both ways encouraging invasion, and now we have hundreds of thousands admitted criminals, many convicted or accused murderers and rapists, roaming free and putting us all (except the democrats behind their security barriers) at risk.

In response to a shouted reporter's question, her remarks at the border consisted of this less than 30-second sound bite, a word salad that included something about the agents "rightly need[ing] support to do their job"--something that the Biden/Harris administration has refused to do, and which the border agents union has debunked as false: //
