Refugee Crisis in the U. S. (?)

(Mexican) Authorities investigate reports of migrants trying to buy children to enter the U.S.
 

</snip>
 

“I can’t go to work because I can’t take my eyes off my boys,” said Antonia Portillo Cruz, a 44-year-old migrant from Honduras, who said the men have been targeting the shelter where she stays. She said she witnessed some of the men asking women in the shelter about purchasing their children, but none of them made the offer directly to her.
 

Portillo said the groups of men have been approaching the Iglesia Embajadores de Jesus shelter in Tijuana and offering about 7,000 pesos, or $350, to purchase a child to cross into the United States.
 

She said she fears the requests and the offers of money will turn into demands or kidnappings. Portillo said she never lets her two boys, aged 10 and 8, out of her sight.

“They want to rob our kids so they can cross into the United States,” she said angrily.
 

A spokesman for the Tijuana municipal police confirmed the reports and said federal authorities are investigating. The case was first reported by Tijuana journalists Yolanda Morales and Yuriria Sierra for Imagen TV.

My objection to DACA is strictly procedural: it should never have been created based on a memo from Janet Napolitano, and should not be an application for Temporary Protected Status from the US government granted by the US government.

 

I wish Congress had the great good sense to pass DACA into law before SCOTUS hears the case.

You are actually asking the Democrats to vote for DACA and against one of their issues?

No, I'm wishing they were adults, and understood that DACA as it stands conveys no rights or protections, and would actually work to provide those protections.

 

But I know they're not adults, they're children who think their job is activism, not legislation.

Those ***** want to blame the Republicans for our illegal immigration issues. If they were to be fixed, they won't have those issues anymore.

Yes, this would be the background check system that Trump said was inadequate during his Presidential campaign, which the NYT called a lie.

 

(BTW, it was inadequate, it isn't now.  I know, because I know the people who fixed it.)

16.5 tons of cocaine worth $1 billion seized at Philadelphia port
 

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Federal authorities have seized approximately 16.5 tons of cocaine, with a street value of over $1 billion, at the Packer Marine Terminal in Philadelphia.
 

An official said the ship was headed from Chile to Europe when the drugs were found in Philadelphia after authorities received a tip Monday night. The cocaine was discovered inside eight containers from a cargo ship, sources tell Action News.
 

The ship's course started in Chile then stopped in Peru and the Bahamas before making its way to Philadelphia. The US Attorney's Office Eastern District of Pennsylvania says the ship was then headed to Europe with a stop in Rotterdam.

Ummmm  

The MSC Gayane, which is owned by J.P. Morgan Asset Management and chartered to MSC, the world's second-biggest container ship operator by capacity, is "subject to possible forfeiture," U.S. Attorney William McSwain said in a statement. 

Built in 2018, the ship has capacity for around 10,000 containers and is worth about $90 million. It is anchored at the Delaware River near the Philadelphia port and is expected to stay there for an extended period, according to people involved in the matter.

All that blow on a JP Morgan vessel — and they made the bust on Tesla’s birthday. Considering Morgan and Tesla’s history, that seemed almost (almost) too poetic to be coincidence. 

 

The seizure of the company tho... maybe not.

I am scratching my head over this one. Apparently, Obama doesn't have an office so they can protest to him?  ?‍♀️

Anti-deportation activists 'occupy' Biden campaign HQ in Philadelphia; 6 arrested
 

Six people were arrested at Joe Biden's campaign office in Philadelphia Wednesday after advocates for undocumented immigrants stormed the building in a bid to confront the Democratic frontrunner over the millions of deportations that took place during the Obama Administration when he was vice president.

Trump Adheres To
The Law On Immigration,
Shocking Lawless Democrats

Issues & Insights, by Peter J. Ferrara

 

Original Article

 

The plan to deport about one million illegal aliens announced by Acting United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Director Ken Cuccinelli is not a matter of discretion. Cuccinelli is just following the law, and already issued court orders. Those subject to deportation under the plan have already had their cases adjudicated in the United States, with immigration judges ruling they have lost their cases, and ordering them deported. Cuccinelli is just the first federal official, besides President Trump, brave enough to follow and implement the law. That is what President Trump pledged to do.

No, it's stupider.  Determine citizenship through "other sources."  That's...not actually possible.  

 

If it were possible, eVerify wouldn't be the steaming pile of ***** it currently is.  And note that one of the big problems with eVerify's reliability is people not self-reporting their citizenship status.  So this problem circles back to "asking people, and hoping they answer."  

 

Plus...even if they somehow make this "look in other sources" idea work, they'll be collecting enough data to determine not just citizenship, but legal residency.  Which would not have been possible with the census question alone.  So detractors of the citizenship have managed to stupidly maneuver this issue into exactly what they originally feared.  Good job, idiots.

[Buffalo_Gal]

So if I understand it correctly, President Trump just gave the Commerce Department access to all government databases including social security, food stamps, the IRS, all of it.   That is a lot of data. 

I wonder if ICE agents will be delivering census forms? ?

This is one interesting video!!

On April 29th, 2019, Fisher Sand & Gravel Co. was contacted by We Build the Wall to construct a half mile of fence in Sunland Park, New Mexico. The location was deemed “Unbuildable” by government agencies due to the harsh construction conditions. In just over one month of being notified of this project, Fisher procured and fabricated the bollard fence panels and finished all construction within two weeks.

It's "unbuildable" under federal labor guidelines and OSHA regulations.

 

But it's pretty easy to get around those by hiring migrant labor...

What makes you say the people building it didn't follow OSHA regulations, and had migrant labor working for them?

During AOC's testimony there was a medical emergency which interrupted her impassioned drivel. She stopped and all sound was cut off while it was dealt with. It was the best few minutes of her testimony.

 

And what the bleeding hell are 3 Justice (HAHA) Democrats doing on the panel? Oh, that's right, it's a circus that any able-minded non-Leftist has lost control of.

.

Tlaib: "First, no one is illegal. That term is derogatory now because it dehumanizes people. You can say any other forms of maybe, "coming in without regulations" or so forth. The use of "illegal" is disrespectful and I ask my colleagues to try in so many ways to not dehumanize our immigrant neighbors who are trying to come in for safe haven."

And she cried soon after because of course.

So, let me get this straight. From her testimony, she wants to redefine "illegal" because it does not fit her narrative. While at the same time, she is criticizing Trump saying that he is redefining what it means to be poor to fit his narrative. ?

[row_33]

they redefined "unemployment" several times through the years

What has happened is somehow we’ve become a nation where it’s okay, heck even expected behavior to be a bunch of whiny soft-a$$ bit***s. Truly disgusting and getting worse by the day. This hyper political correctness is so out of hand. Bottom line, if you are here illegally you are an illegal. If you are a convicted criminal, you should spend time in jail not be excused because society has “ discriminated against you”. You are either straight, gay or just can’t deal with your gayness; there is nothing else. If you suck at school you either don’t work hard enough or you’re just dumb. If you need a “ support animal” to get through daily life situations you are spineless and should probably off yourself to get out of your misery. The truth should not be taboo.
