Biden Administration Has Literally Turned The Western Hemisphere Into a Total Shambles! Most Every Nation is Suffering The Consequences!

 

Mexican Border Agents Are Quitting Over Chaos Caused by Biden Policies

4/30/2022 - Spencer Brown Townhall.com

Julio has reported on and seen first-hand how overtaxed America's border authorities are as a result of the Biden administration's open border policies and refusal to secure the southern border with Mexico. Agents are diverted from patrols to process record-setting numbers of migrants who illegally enter the U.S., an operational decision that means the estimated number of so-called "got-aways" continues to surge. 

The day-to-day hardship created by the Biden administration is in addition to the White House's indulgence of the false partisan narrative that mounted U.S. agents were whipping migrants in the Rio Grande, a Biden scandal for which the administration still refuses to apologize after ruining the heroic agents' lives. 

Discontent runs throughout the ranks of America's border agents due to President Biden and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas' failed policies, but their border crisis is taking a toll on Mexico's border agents too as more dangerous migrants — such as the individuals flagged in terrorist databases caught at the U.S. border — begin making their way toward America's southern border to take advantage of the end of Title 42.

Rep. Brian Mast (R-FL) is among those again ringing the alarm on the dangerous domino effect of Biden's border crisis.

Reporting from The New York Post sheds light on how "border agents in Mexico are fed up to the point of leaving their jobs — and say that, if the US lifts Title 42, things will only get worse." No kidding. 

“Work has doubled and even tripled for us. Some weeks we have no days off. We pull in double shifts for the same pay and are sent from one end of the country to the other with less money for our expenses that we must pay up front,” said an officer, Jorge, who spoke with The Post on the condition of anonymity, fearing reprisal.

No statistics are available on how many officers have quit Mexican immigration forces. But Jorge said that, on one team alone, at least half of the 30 officers have quit over the last two years.

“It’s a nationwide phenomenon,” he said.

Jorge is an officer with the National Migration Institute (Instituto Nacional de MigraciĆ³n), Mexico’s version of the US Border Patrol, which has become an ever-increasing first response force against desperate undocumented migrants from all over the world — Central and South America, but also some Caribbean countries and even Africa, Europe and Russia — who dream of reaching American cities.

Much like the Biden administration's disastrous handling of the border has forced American agents to leave their posts patrolling the U.S.-Mexico border, the massive draw for migrants to make their way to an illegal crossing into the United States is forcing Mexico to pull its agents and send them to Mexico's southern border. 

"Officers, already besieged by a big workload and overtaxed by pulling double shifts, are routinely sent from their posts in northern border towns to the most southern parts of Mexico to aid understaffed and weary guards there with the influx of immigrants coming in," The Post reports. That influx of migrants, primarily from Guatemala but also the Caribbean and as far away as Russia, then make their way north to the U.S. border.

The migrants making the trek to take advantage of Biden's open border often attack Mexican border agents — who are unarmed. "It’s a desperate situation and there seems no way out," NY Post source Jorge said. 

The desperation of the situation for border agents — American and Mexican alike — is set to get even worse as the Biden administration looks to terminate Title 42 in May. 

Jorge expects that the lifting of Title 42 — a Trump administration order allowing for immediate deportation that has seen 2 million border-crossers expelled — could cause increasing numbers of illegal immigrants to attempt to enter the country by this spring.

“This is already making things worse for us. Those new immigrants coming in are more violent,” Jorge said. “They are bigger than us. We Mexicans are smaller. We need at least two officers to detain them. We can’t handle them one on one.”

Whether they are listed in U.S. terrorist databases, members of MS-13 or other violent gangs, or other members of the criminal underclass before breaking the law to illegally cross international borders, those that are inundating the U.S.-Mexico border are already terrorizing Mexico border officials who have a dangerous job made worse by Biden's magnet policies that draw increasing numbers of illegal immigrants and dangerous individuals into and through Mexico.

Mayorkas is a Biden 'Stool Pigeon' - a Biden 'Yes Man' - Knows Nothing About Immigration!

 

Mayorkas admits that the illegals he releases will 'undoubtedly' commit crimes against Americans

By Monica Showalter www.americanthinker.com

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, the Biden administration's oilest, slipperiest, most mendacious cabinet member, was put through the congressional wringer Wednesday and Thursday, over his "turnstyle" border policies as he well should have been.

He put on the same bee ess show in a hearing before Congress, apparently to seek a bigger budget, handing out the usual tropes that have followed from his earlier claims that there is no crisis at the border: The border is under "operational control." He's just doing what the law tells him. He's not dumping unvetted illegals from 157 nations throughout the country in the dead of night, he's pursuing "alternatives to incarceration." It's the fault of the "broken" immigration system that he won't enforce the law. And he's proud of the job he's doing. Oh, and Trump did it.

His consistent denials of any problem at all at the border is why he's drawn so much ire in the way from Congress even as he seeks more money for his do-nothing department. Biden's plans for dropping the Title 42 basis for instant expulsion on COVID pandemic grounds is forecast to attract as many as 18,000 new illegals into the U.S. per day, up from the current record 7,000 or so. His solution is more agents, more resources, more money --  to create more turnstyles to get the unvetted illegals into the interior of the country faster, before anyone can complain. And since nobody except for the worst alien criminals ever gets deported, even with 1.2 million judicial final deportation orders outstanding, that's a non-issue, too.

The news reports about this have been disjointed, and many, such as this one from The Hill, have brimmed with open-borders bias, which obscured how important this microscope to Mayorkas from Congress really was.

The other clouding factor is that as good as many of the GOP congressional members were -- Jim Jordan, Josh Hawley, Chip Roy, et al -- they undercut themselves by interrupting Mayorkas all the time, inadvertantly denying the rest of us the opportunity to watch Mayorkas hang himself by laying out his open borders agenda. This had the unwelcome side effect of making Mayorkas look calm and reasonable, when it's Mayorkas who's the one working like a wild man to negate U.S. border law, rather than the congress members.

https://s3.amazonaws.com/ssl-intgr-net/tags/7_91_9.gifThat said, the best performance was from Rep. Matt Gaetz (Honorable mentiom, Burgess Owens), who clearly understood the scope of the border crisis and did allow Mayorkas some space to reveal how bad he is:

According to Breitbart News,it began like this:

1.2 million people are un-detained, free, roaming about the country,” Gaetz began. “They’ve gone before a judge. A judge has issued a final order of removal. How many ICE agents do you need to deport them?”

Mayorkas repeatedly indicated during the heated four-hour hearing that Congress needed to pass immigration reform to help correct the ongoing border crisis. In response to Gaetz’s question, Mayorkas repeated that message, saying, “Congressman, I think what we need is legislation to fix a broken immigration system—”

ICE, however, does not rely on Congress to carry out deportations of those who have gone before a judge and received final orders of removal, Gaetz noted, re-asking if Mayorkas planned to remove the 1.2 million.

Mayorkas did not answer the question and instead indicated “resources” were impeding his ability to carry out deportations.

Gaetz then asked, “How much money do you need to deport all of them? How much money? How many agents to deport the 1.2 million who a judge has said have no right to be here?”

Mayorkas replied, “Congressman, there are a number of questions that your question raises with respect to whether all of those individuals actually have been given due process—”

Gaetz interrupted the border chief to correct him, saying, “No, no, no, they have. These are the people who have had their due process, ok? And here’s the point. You have no plan to remove them. You don’t know how many ICE agents it would take and you don’t know how much money it would take because you actually don’t want to remove them.”

  Gaetz let him speak, and ratted out Mayorkas's full agenda as a result. We learned that Mayorkas has let terrorists into the country and "lost track" of them. The most telling part was when he asked Mayorkas about the criminal element rolling into the U.S. as a result of the surge, and whether he knew if such people would be commiting crimes. 

"Undoubedly," Mayorkas replied, using that calm, oleaginous, avuncular demeanor of his, which is infuriating.

Here he's volunteering American citizens to be "collateral damage," as Gaetz put it, whether they like it or not, victims of illegal aliens on a crime spreand barely anyone in the mainstream media notices something amiss.

Sure, he pays lip service to the notion of following the law and enforcing the border, but with that 'undoubtedly' reveals himself to be one cold character.

No wonder the congressmembers are calling him 'traitor' and threatening to impeach him. Anyone with that little regard for lost American lives deserves this kind of label. Nonsensical testimony like Mayorkas's demonstrates just how big the scope of the problem is.

Purchasing Twitter is Only The Beginning - Now the Battle Begins!

 

Tearing Down the Silicon Valley Wall

4/28/2022 - Victor Davis Hanson Townhall.com

Elon Musk has finally managed to buy Twitter. And the moment he did, the enraged Left flipped out.

Abruptly leftists began trashing their favorite electronic communications platform as the domain of the nation's elite, professional classes. Had they just discovered that they had been racists and privileged users all this time?

And what happened to the Left's former worship of Musk as the man who revolutionized the clean, green automobile industry with his Tesla electric car company?

Or Musk the space revolutionary and hip star trekker, who with his own money helped ensure the United States remains preeminent in space exploration?

Or Musk, the patriot who is providing free next-generation internet service to the underdog Ukrainians fighting Russians for their lives?

No matter. The Left reviles Musk because he has announced that Twitter will be the one social-media platform whose business is not to censor or massage free speech in an otherwise monopolist, intolerant, and hard-Left Silicon Valley.

Who knows, Musk might even allow former president Donald Trump to communicate on Twitter - in the fashion that the terrorist Taliban, Iranian theocrats, and violent Antifa protesters all take for granted in their daily access to Twitter.

But how did the once free-speech, anti-trust, let-it-all-hang out Left become a Victorian busybody, a censorious Soviet, and an old-fashioned robber-baron monopoly?

When it discovered that few Americans wanted left-wing, socialist politics it turned elsewhere. It found power instead through control of American institutions, from academia and Wall Street to traditional and social media.

When Musk merely talked about buying Twitter, the Left shrieked that an outlier multibillionaire owning a media - and especially a social media - venue was unfair. The buyout was supposedly "dangerous" and "a threat to democracy."

But the more the Left screamed, the less people listened.

After all, left-wing Mark Zuckerberg's Facebook has roughly 15 times more market capitalization than Twitter. It has an audience of 2 billion users - over seven times larger than Twitter's 271 million.

Zuckerberg's monopoly on global social media and his enormous wealth were stealthily put in service to the Democratic Party in the 2020 election. He reportedly infused nearly $420 million of his media money into warping the vote in key precincts, by augmenting and absorbing the work of state registrars to empower likely left-wing voters.

Amazon's Jeff Bezos, the second wealthiest man in the world, owns the influential Washington Post. It has moved markedly to the activist Left under his patronage.

Multibillionaire Lisa Jobs, widow of the late Apple founder Steve Jobs, owns The Atlantic. It has become an increasingly hard-Left political magazine.

So in Orwellian fashion, apparently most media-owning, left-wing billionaires are good? But one social media-owning, non-left-wing billionaire is bad?

How exactly might a Musk-owned Twitter alter an election?

By emulating the former directors of Twitter and the rest of Silicon Valley social media who canceled not just conservatives, but any new communication they felt harmful to the 2020 Biden campaign?

From the outset, it was clear that Hunter Biden's lost laptop incriminated his dad, Democratic nominee Joe Biden.

Biden was referenced by his own quid pro quo, grifting son variously as "the Big Guy" and "Mr. Ten Percent" - a full partner in peddling Beltway influence to rich foreign actors.

Yet in lockstep, social media banned most coverage of the pre-election laptop story.

It instead spread its standby false narrative of "Russian disinformation." We now know the laptop was always authentic. The crude efforts to suppress mention of it were classic politicized news suppression.

Still, the Left may well have some reason to be terrified of Elon Musk. Should he liberate Twitter from left-wing scolds and groupthinkers, would other renegade new companies and old standbys follow his lead?

Is Musk's $46-billion acquisition the internet equivalent of Germans in November 1989 with sledgehammers smashing down the Berlin Wall?

Does Musk sense that the looming November midterm elections may result in one of the rare landslide verdicts in American history?

Does he assume the public prefers a muckraker who demands free speech rather than corporate insider cronies censoring expression they don't find useful?

Polls show that the American people have had their fill of 14 months of self-inflicted, ideology-driven disasters. And why not, given the nonexistent border, spiking crime, inflation, unaffordable gasoline, and neo-Confederate racial fixations?

Are the recent Netflix implosion, the CNN+ disaster, the Disney debacle, the Virginia statewide and San Francisco school board elections, the polls showing massive defections of Latinos from the Left, and the grass-roots pushback against government-imposed mask wearing, and explicit transgender education in the k-3 grades--also symptoms of a reckoning on the horizon?

The country is ready for a revolution. And Musk believes he can lead it with his Silicon-Valley sledgehammer.

So, as the Left says, "Bring it on."
