Illegal immigration

When I was a kid, it was a proud boast that the US-Canada border is the longest unguarded border in the world. That is still true, but we may need to start guarding it. Our northern border is not as much of a disaster as the southern border, only because it is so far from Mexico. But things are getting much worse: The number of migrants caught crossing a stretch

It is no coincidence that, in last night’s debate, immigration was the issue on which the moderators intervened to try to stop the Democratic Party’s bleeding. The Biden/Harris administration’s immigration policies have been disastrous, unless they are actually trying to destroy our country. In which case they make perfect sense. My colleague David Zimmer recaps the Biden/Harris debacle by the numbers. There is more at the link; here are some

In March of 2021, Joe Biden appointed Kamala Harris to take charge of the border. Since then, the Biden-Harris administration ushered in some 10 million illegals, with no criminal background checks. With crime by these illegals a raging issue with voters, Harris made a rather odd choice to introduce her at an event in Douglas, Arizona, last Friday. Doing the honors was Tori Verber Salazar, former district attorney of California’s

This past Friday Kamala Harris made a rare appearance at the border wall near Tucson. Harris proposed fake restrictions that would have no effect on the invasion of illegal aliens that she invited, facilitated, and then lied about during her years in office as vice president in the incumbent administration. The video below compiled by the Daily Caller includes clips from Harris’s Meet the Press interview in September 2022 (transcript

Kamala Harris’ plan to visit the border has recalled her support for illegal alien Sergio Garcia to obtain a license to practice law, a move opposed by the Obama DOJ. Garcia is now the poster child for the policies Harris would apply as president. The media spin it as a feel-good story, but some facts need clarification. Garcia’s parents brought him to the United States as a toddler but when

President Biden invited, aided, and abetted the massive wave of illegal immigration that we have seen — or experienced even if we haven’t been looking — since the first day of his administration. Vice President Harris campaigned in 2109 on the same theme and has served as Biden’s faithful ally in abetting the invasion since her election along with him. The invasion has a panoply of adverse effects that include

There are several great issues on which the presidential election (and Congressional elections, too) should turn. One is our out of control national debt, which promises to first hamstring our government, then bankrupt us. But no one is talking about it. Another is America’s deteriorating military readiness. The Europeans are scrambling to defend themselves against possible Russian attack; that in itself is a good thing. But they are doing it

For me, the reversal of the incredibly destructive policies of the Biden-Harris administration is the leading issue in the campaign. First among these policies is the Biden-Harris administration’s support of illegal immigration. It can’t go on like this. I didn’t have CNN exposing that wacky Kamala on my bingo card. Yet here we have CNN’s Erin Burnett and Andrew Kaczynski looking into the mixed-up files of Ms. Kamala D. Harris

A Facebook account in Springfield, Ohio, apparently triggered a string of AI-powered memes by reporting that illegal immigrants from Haiti were eating people’s cats, ducks, geese and other pets: Bring in the third world and become the third world. Springfield, Ohio, has a small population of 58,000, with 20,000 now made up of Haitian immigrants, who were shipped under the Biden-Harris administration. pic.twitter.com/gFWHukHqF2 — I Meme Therefore I Am 🇺🇸

From New York City, the news that illegals are committing 75% of midtown Manhattan’s crimes: Across New York, recently arrived migrants are flooding the criminal justice system — at far higher rates than public officials have acknowledged. Police sources shared with The Post a staggering estimate that as many as 75% of the people they’ve been arresting in Midtown Manhattan in recent months for crimes like assault, robbery and domestic

Where in Europe is a woman most likely to be raped? The answer probably will surprise you: An explosion of violent crime in the United Kingdom has made England and Wales into what one economist calls “the rape capital of Europe by a sizeable margin.” *** The rate of increase is staggering, too. Reported rapes are up 63% in just five years. *** The new numbers catapulted England and Wales

President Biden took the George McGovern Memorial Time Slot at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago last night. I have posted the video below. The White House has not yet posted a transcript. The Time transcript is posted here. Time times the transcript as a “27 minute read.” On a feels-like basis, it’s more like 27 hours. The New York Post cover (right) captures the indignity of it all. It

On Coney Island, a woman is raped at knifepoint while her boyfriend is beaten with a pipe by a second criminal: Two migrants were arrested for a knifepoint rape in Coney Island – including one who was released from jail less than two months ago after sexually assaulting a different woman at a city-funded shelter, authorities said Monday. “Migrant” is the currently approved euphemism for illegal immigrant. Daniel Davon-Bonilla, 24,

Last Monday, in Southport, England, children attending a Taylor Swift-themed dance class were attacked by a knife-wielding 17-year-old. He stabbed to death three girls, ages 6, 7 and 9, and wounded ten more children and adults, several critically. In the wake of the attack, rumors spread that the murderer was a Muslim immigrant. Rioting broke out in Southport. Because the attacker was nearly 18 at the time of his crimes,

According to the media as of this week, Harris was never President Biden’s “border czar.” The denial belies the media’s own usage and reporting before this week, so one might want to ask what’s happening here, as the Fox & Friends cast did this morning. Fox News has a good roundup documenting the media’s “transition.” Fox News also separately reports that it “asked multiple news organizations, including CNN and Axios,

One of the notable features of Trump’s nomination acceptance speech last week is that he devoted 1,000 words to the subject of energy, and in particular called out the “green new scam.” That’s probably 900 more words than any previous nominee of either party has ever said about energy in an acceptance speech. He also devoted a lot of attention to immigration and border control, as is to be expected.

I wrote here about the first round of French elections, in which the “far right” National Rally scored an impressive plurality of votes for the National Assembly. But round two is coming up, and the left-wing and the relatively centrist (Macron) parties are combining to try to stop the “far right” from winning an outright majority in the National Assembly: At least 200 candidates have stood down days before France’s
