Illegal immigration
June 26, 2024 — John Hinderaker
This NBC News report is getting a lot of attention from conservative news sites: “DHS identifies over 400 migrants brought to the U.S. by an ISIS-affiliated human smuggling network.” The report is based on a leak from “three U.S. officials.” I assume the leak came not from Biden appointees, but from others, lower down in the border hierarchy, who want to blow the whistle on the administration’s negligence. The Department

Under normal circumstances, a president with Joe Biden’s awful record couldn’t possibly be re-elected. Then, too, he is senile. But, because of the Republican nominee’s unique weaknesses, it may take a third factor to prevent a disastrous second term: the violent crime wave currently being carried out by illegal aliens. Illegal aliens (not “migrants,” as the press has decided to call them) have committed any number of horrific and entirely

UC Berkeley, which “Cultural Stereotype” Casey Goonan wants to burn down, offers “Chicano Studies,” based on The Cosmic Race (La Raza Cósmica) by Nazi propagandist and Mexican politician Jose Vasconcelos. The Cal State system, (Cal State LA was first to translate the racist tract) also offers Chicano studies, but these government universities are not the only examples of institutionalized racism. Consider, for example, the National Council of La Raza (NCLR)

“President Joe Biden is taking executive action to protect undocumented spouses of American citizens,” NBC reports, “a move that would shield about 500,000 immigrants from deportation.” As legal immigrants and legitimate citizens should know, this is old news. “You know, 11 million people live in the shadows. I believe they’re already American citizens,” said Vice President Biden in 2014. As he had to know, according to current law they aren’t American

President Biden gave a speech announcing his newly fashioned amnesty scheme yesterday. The White House has yet to post a transcript of his remarks, but DHS has posted a “fact sheet.” At the moment we can note that Biden’s remarks will appeal to the wide swath of Americans who love the invasion of illegal aliens that Biden has promoted since the first day of his administration. At his announcement event

How many Americans have been assaulted, raped, maimed or murdered by illegals who have streamed into our country at the invitation of Joe Biden’s open border policies? No one knows, but it is safe to say that Rachel Morin is one among many. Morin, a 37 year old mother of five, went for a run in Harford County, Maryland. She was waylaid by Victor Martinez Hernandez, who raped, viciously beat,

There is a human tendency to believe that all of the things one doesn’t like are in league or of a piece. That can lead to delusion and misapprehension. On the other hand, it sometimes turns out to be true. Take the case of the Inflation Reduction Act, which should better be known as the Inflation Promotion Act. This grotesque law is nothing but a grab-bag of payoffs to Democratic

Last night I was on Seth Leibsohn’s excellent Phoenix radio show for a full three segments. That gave us time to cover a number of subjects: my forecast for the 2024 presidential race; the trumped-up prosecutions of Trump; how financial incentives account for support for liberalism; why the Democrats are so devoted to illegal immigration; do Democrats hate America?; will the criminals who firebombed my organization’s office be caught?; how

Democrats saw what happened in Europe last week, and they can read the polls. The Biden administration’s policy of mass illegal immigration is hugely unpopular, and after nearly four feckless years, the Democrats are finally going to pay a price. So this morning’s New York Times email suggests that it is time to change course. The Times begins by acknowledging that current levels of immigration (legal and illegal) are more

If a frank enemy of the United States had taken over the executive branch of in January 2021, he would not have conducted himself one whit differently than Joe Biden, his administration, and his Democratic enablers in Congress and the media. From his first day in office Biden garishly repealed every border control that President Trump had worked up to stem the tide of illegal immigration. Biden put out the

C-SPAN has just posted the video clip of Senator Josh Hawley’s beatdown of DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas in the tweet below. This may be the most brutal and relentless interrogation of a senior administration official I have ever seen, certainly in the space of eight minutes. It graphically depicts the madness of the Biden open-door immigration policy in small as well as its utter indefensibility in large. Tense exchange between

Everyone knows that Joe Biden has deliberately encouraged seven or eight million illegals to cross our southern border during his administration. This is the most treacherous act by a president since Democrat James Buchanan shipped war materiel to the South, in hopes that it would be used thereafter by secessionist rebels. Assuming that historical nugget is correct. But there is no doubt about Biden’s treachery, and the Center for Immigration

In an interview that was recorded last week but aired last night on Univision — transcript and video here — President Biden criticized Israel’s conduct of the war and called for a ceasefire without tying the demand to the release of the hostages held by Hamas. Indeed, the name “Hamas” does not appear in the interview. “Well, I will tell you, I think what [Prime Minister Netanyahu is] doing is

On Tuesday, a three-judge panel of the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Texas cannot enforce its border control law, SB 4, because it conflicts with federal law that preempts the field of immigration. The decision is here. Jonathan Turley analyzes the issue here. Briefly, Turley thinks the panel decision is a correct interpretation of the Constitution and of case law on preemption. The constitutional issue turns on the

Here we have the video of the day. It depicts a horde of illegal aliens breaking through the razor wire (mounted, I assume, by Texas authorities) and overrunning Texas National Guard soldiers seeking to resist them in El Paso. The video raises many questions, among them how many many “migrants” does it take to mount used to be known as an “invasion”? We have now entered year four President Biden’s

We have written about the Great Sort many times, but frankly you can’t emphasize it enough. Americans are deserting blue states and cities in favor of red zones. Liberalism has proved to be a failure by the most reliable measure: fewer and fewer people want to live under liberal regimes. Here are two examples. First, the City of New York, which was thought doomed to dystopia in the 1970s, rallied

A showdown is coming on the conflict between the Biden administration, which is determined to negate federal immigration law, and the State of Texas, which bears the brunt of Biden’s open border policy and is determined to vindicate our immigration laws and protect its own citizens. The case is pending in the Fifth Circuit, but a shot across the bow was fired yesterday in the Supreme Court. This is the
