Poll: Almost 70 Percent of Voters Want Tougher Border Policies​


Seven out of 10 American voters want stricter border policies once they are told about the current level of illegal migration, according to a May 17-18 Harvard-Harris poll.


Sixty-eight percent of Americans, including 73 percent of swing-voting independents, told the pollsters they want stricter border policies once they were given this information:


Over 2.75 million came into the United States illegally over a twelve-month period ending September 2022, and more than 1.2 million have crossed since then. Given these numbers, should the administration continue its current policies or issue new, stricter policies to reduce the flow of people coming across the border?

Federal Judge Temporarily Blocks Biden Admin From Removing Texas Border Wire​


A federal judge temporarily blocked border patrol Monday from removing barbed wire placed on the border by Texas state authorities.

The state sued the Biden administration last week over the government’s practice of cutting wire Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott instructed state authorities to place along the border in response to increased illegal crossings. In an 11-page order, U.S. District Court Judge Alina Moses, a George W. Bush appointee, temporarily blocked the Biden administration from “disassembling, degrading, [or] tampering with” the wire and set a hearing for Nov. 7 to consider the issue in greater depth.

Mayorkas’ border bet fails as illegal immigration rises​



Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas began 2023 with a bet: He figured if he gave illegal immigrants a chance to schedule their arrivals, he could get them to come in an “orderly” fashion through airports and official crossings and stop sneaking into the U.S.

As the year nears its end, it is clear that his gamble has failed.

Illegal immigrants have jumped at his offer of scheduled arrivals, but that has done little to tamp down the flow of people trying to sneak into the country.

The result is unprecedented border chaos from a rush of people either scheduling their arrivals or coming unannounced.

Among the yardsticks, the Border Patrol said it detected record numbers of convicted criminals in fiscal 2023, which just concluded. Agents also shattered the record for terrorism suspects, with more than the previous six years combined. More fentanyl flowed across the border than ever. Agents were called to make more rescues than in 2021 and 2022 combined.

Actual illegal migration numbers show that Customs and Border Patrol recorded encounters of 3.2 million inadmissible migrants in fiscal 2023. That was five times the number in 2020, the last full year under President Trump.

Senate GOP’s border security plan would restart border wall, restrict asylum claims​


1699420053985.png


Key Senate Republicans on Monday announced a road map for stiffening border security by restarting construction on the border wall, limiting the expansive asylum claims illegal immigrants use to get caught and released, and shutting down the “family loophole” that rewards migrants who bring children on the dangerous journey.

“President Biden’s border policies are not working and it’s time to change course,” said Mr. Graham, South Carolina Republican. “Our proposal makes the necessary changes that our country needs at this critical time.”

"It's poisoning the blood of our country"
I guess he (or his fans) likes that line.

Trump tells rally immigrants are ‘poisoning the blood of our country’

Donald Trump, just weeks after using the fascist terminology “vermin” to describe sections of American society he dislikes, again declared at a New Hampshire rally that immigrants are “poisoning the blood of our country”.

It is the second time Trump has used the poisoned blood phrase, which has been widely condemned for echoing white supremacist rhetoric.

The broadcaster Mehdi Hasan said on Saturday: “Classic Trump: say something crazy outrageous, neo-Nazi-like and it gets headlines, creates outrage.

“So wait a little. Then say it again, no one notices, no coverage, and it gets normalized and mainstreamed.
