How many people will read this article and demand justice - afterall, they are only children. This insanity must be corrected. President Trump attempted to send a plane load back to Guatemala, but a idiotic District Judge stopped it.

 

A Tragedy Worse Than Epstein’s Island, But With Less Paperwork

By Kevin Finn www.americanthinker.com

Under Joe Biden, or whoever was running the country between 2021 and 2024, over 470,000 unaccompanied migrant children waltzed into the country. Many of these kids promptly vanished into a bureaucratic black hole. Since then, in a move both heroic and horrifyingly necessary, the Trump administration has located over 22,000 of these kids, arrested 400 traffickers, and uncovered the grim reality that 27 children met tragic ends through murder, overdose, or suicide. Yes, Epstein’s operation was a master class in depravity, but Biden’s border policies might just take the cake, and it’s a moldy, taxpayer-funded one at that.

While Epstein was sneaking around in the shadows, Biden’s team was running what amounts to a government-sanctioned child distribution network, handing kids over to “sponsors” with less vetting than you’d need to adopt a stray cat from the local shelter. No DNA tests, no criminal background checks, no proof these so-called sponsors weren’t running a drug den or a trafficking ring. Just a hearty “here ya go!” and a child was sent off into the abyss. The result? Children raped, enslaved in debt bondage, or left in homes where the “sponsor” was slinging drugs. One child even died of an overdose because, apparently, nobody thought to check if the sponsor’s day job involved needles. It’s almost like the Biden administration intentionally designed a system to lose kids.

Enter President Trump. He enlisted border czar Tom Homan, FBI agents, and Homeland Security investigators to lead an elite squad. They've been digging through the Democrats' shoddy records and have located 22,638 kids, arrested 400 shady sponsors, and uncovered countless horrors -- kids forced into sexual slavery, labor trafficking, or living in dystopic conditions. And have you heard about those 27 kids who didn't make it? No, of course not. It doesn't fit the narrative, and it would make the Democrats look bad. While they were accusing Republicans of separating children from their parents, they were busy enabling a child-trafficking trade.

Every Democrat accusation is a confession.

Biden's team just didn't drop the ball; they punted it into another universe. They inherited a system that needed oversight and decided to double down, and worse. Oh sure, they set up a hotline where these kids could call in with concerns.

Guess how many operators they had? One.

Guess how many calls went unanswered? Over 65,000.

Those red flags were left to gather dust while kids were handed out to strangers like free samples at a supermarket. HHS advisor John Fabbricatore tendered a massive understatement when he said there was "not very good record-keeping." That's like calling the Titanic going down a "minor boating mishap." Incorrect computer records, no follow-ups, no accountability. If the Biden team wanted those kids to disappear, it's hard to imagine a better way to do it. Compare that to Epstein, who at least kept his crimes private. Biden's disaster played out in plain sight, funded by our tax dollars with a side dish of political optics to make it all look like compassion. "Oh! Those poor kids are fleeing poverty and violence! They deserve a chance at a better life!" What they got was a choice slice of hell. What Joe Biden and his handlers did was facilitate a tragedy worse than Epstein’s island, but with less paperwork.

The comparison to Epstein isn't just spicy rhetoric; it's excruciatingly apt. Epstein ran a secret operation, while Biden's team built a public pipeline that delivered kids to predators on an industrial scale. Epstein's crimes were vile, but they were limited to his creepy island and a few mansions. Biden's policies turned the entire U.S. border into a child-trafficking superhighway.

Trump's team is now doing what should have been done from the very beginning: DNA tests to confirm family ties, criminal background checks, fingerprinting, and ensuring that sponsors can actually afford to care for a child without turning them into indentured servants. Yes, kids may have to stay in custody longer, but as Fabbricatore points out, "we want to ensure that these children remain safe." What an idea -- prioritizing safety over speed! They're even working to reunite kids with their actual parents back home when there's no credible fear claim, because evidently, it's better for a child to be with his family than in a U.S. foster care system, or worse, in the clutches of a child predator. Who woulda thunk it?

The Trump administration's efforts to find these children and hold predators accountable are a good start, but the damage has been done -- thousands of kids have suffered, and at least 27 are gone forever. Every parent, every sane person in America should be livid, demanding answers, and wondering how this was allowed to happen under a president and a political party that claimed to care about "the children." Guess what? It was never about care. It was always about optics (like everything else the Left does), and the kids paid the price.

The Trump team's mission is a grim reminder that leadership matters. While the Biden administration was busy patting itself on the back for "processing" kids, Trump's people are out there finding them, saving them, and locking up the monsters who exploited them.

If that's not a wake-up call to hold the Biden administration accountable, I don't know what is. This nightmare demands justice, and it starts at the top.

 

We NEED a refresher course on the subject of 'Freedom'. This excellent article outlines the course!

 

Freedom Revealed: Freedom Isn’t a Slogan -- It’s a System

By Julio Rivera www.americanthinker.com

Every politician in Washington loves to talk about “our freedoms.” They wave flags, sing songs, and quote the Founders when it suits them. But when the cameras are off, they’re usually busy voting for more spending, more rules, and more regulations that quietly erode the very liberty they claim to defend. That’s why a book like Freedom Revealed by Don Wilkie feels so bracing: it reminds us that freedom isn’t a mood or a metaphor. It’s a system. And if you don’t keep the system running properly, it breaks.

This isn’t airy theory. Freedom Revealed lays out freedom the way an engineer would describe a machine: parts, gears, inputs, and outputs. When they mesh, you get liberty and prosperity. When they grind against each other, you get waste, dependency, and eventually tyranny. It’s blunt, it’s logical, and it’s exactly the kind of framework our leaders in Washington ought to be working from.

One of the book’s central insights is the contrast between the marketplace and government. The marketplace is competitive. Companies have to win over customers or they go out of business. That competition drives down waste and improves service. Government, by contrast, has no competition. It can’t go bankrupt, it can’t be fired, and it rarely admits mistakes. So it grows, accumulates rules, and generates waste.

The point is simple but devastating: if you want prosperity, you need more marketplace and less government. Yet our current political class keeps flipping the equation -- letting bureaucracies expand while treating the private sector like a piggy bank. The result? Rising costs, stagnation, and a citizenry that feels more controlled than free.

Freedom Revealed drives home a truth most politicians seem to have forgotten: the American middle class wasn’t created by government handouts. It was born from limited government that allowed markets to function. Prosperity flows from competition, innovation, and the elimination of waste -- not from subsidies, entitlements, or central planning.

Read these chapters and you’ll start to see modern politics in a new light. Every trillion-dollar “stimulus,” every new alphabet-soup program, every “temporary” rule that never expires -- each one is another wrench thrown into the machinery of freedom. No wonder the middle class feels squeezed.

Another crucial section focuses on responsibility. In a free system, adulthood means independence. You earn your way, you pay your dues, and you don’t rely on someone else -- especially not the government -- for your sustenance. Dependence, no matter how kindly it’s dressed up, is the enemy of liberty.

This is a point today’s culture desperately needs to hear. We’ve built entire political platforms around encouraging dependency, treating it as compassion. But Freedom Revealed shows the hard truth: a dependent citizen is not a free citizen. A nation that fosters dependency is a nation slowly dismantling its own freedom.

 The book also underscores the genius of the Constitution. It wasn’t written to empower government -- it was written to restrain it. Franklin and the other framers understood that government left unchecked always expands toward arbitrary power. The Constitution was the box meant to keep that power contained.

Read in today’s context, this point feels almost revolutionary. Washington now treats the Constitution like an inconvenience to be worked around, not a limit to be honored. Every executive order that stretches the law, every agency that piles on new rules without legislation, every judicial ruling that rewrites rather than interprets -- all of it erodes the box that keeps us free.

What makes Freedom Revealed so compelling is its refusal to get lost in jargon. It doesn’t obsess over polling data or partisan gossip. It strips freedom down to its working parts: limited government, competitive markets, and personal responsibility. These aren’t negotiable values. They’re the minimum requirements for liberty.

And here’s the sobering thought: if we lose those requirements, freedom doesn’t fade gently into the night. It collapses. The book points to places like Detroit -- once thriving, now hollowed out by regulation, corruption, and dependency -- as cautionary tales. Multiply Detroit’s fate by fifty states, and you see the trajectory America is on if we keep treating government as savior instead of servant.

Freedom Revealed is not a policy white paper, nor is it a partisan rant. It’s a user’s manual for liberty. It explains why freedom works, how it breaks, and what we need to do to keep it alive. For conservatives and constitutional originalists, it’s a vindication of what we’ve always believed: liberty is sustained by responsibility, prosperity is born of competition, and government must be restrained by design.

More importantly, it’s a challenge. It dares us to confront the waste, dependency, and arbitrary power that are choking our republic. It dares us to demand that our leaders think more like Franklin -- practical, disciplined, and wary of unchecked government -- than like the career politicians who have led us into trillion-dollar deficits and endless bureaucracy.

If freedom is a system, then America is overdue for a tune-up. And Freedom Revealed is exactly the kind of book that can remind us how to get back under the hood.

So much for the myth that illegal aliens only take jobs Americans don't want ...

By Monica Showalter www.americanthinker.com

Last week's raid on a huge electrical battery plant in Georgia, netting 475 illegal aliens, put paid to the myth that those foreigners illegally present in our country only take jobs Americans don't want. Actually, they're like anyone else, and take the good jobs when they can get them.

According to the New York Times:

Immigration officials arrested nearly 500 workers, most of them South Korean citizens, at the construction site of an electric vehicle battery plant in Georgia on Thursday, as the Trump administration continues its far-ranging crackdown on illegal immigration.

The raid, which U.S. officials have called the largest-ever Homeland Security enforcement operation at a single location, stirred tensions with the South Korean government, a valued trade partner of the United States. It also revealed competing interests within the Trump administration between the president’s push to expand manufacturing in the United States and his aggressive efforts to crack down on immigration. The plant at the center of the operation was co-owned by the South Korean carmaker Hyundai.

U.S. immigration authorities said the detained employees — many of them hired by subcontractors to help finish the plant’s construction — were working or living in the United States illegally.

Here's what ran in the press last year at the announcement of the LG plant with its large foreign investment:

Georgia and southeast coastal counties are subsidizing Hyundai and its suppliers in the form of $2.1 billion in tax breaks, construction costs, discount land and other perks, a deal that Gov. Brian Kemp announced would produce good-paying jobs for hard-working Georgians. 

The largesse comes with conditions. Hyundai Metaplant, the LG joint-venture battery facility, and five affiliated Hyundai suppliers must together invest $5.545 billion and hire at least 8,500 workers by 2031 at an average annual yearly salary of $58,105. Those jobs must be retained until 2048. 

Instead of hiring Americans at those living-wage salaries, they hired illegals from their home country, with LG saying it was just the work of rogue subcontractors and they didn't know a thing about it otherwise.

Kind of dubious. 

It calls attention to illegals taking good-paid jobs that Americans want, but it also calls attention to another problem, described by AT contributor Brian Wink last week -- that, employers are actually incentivized by the tax system to hire foreign over domestic workers, even if they have legitimate visas.

In his very well-researched piece, Wink wrote:

That is, the foreign non-resident worker, a class of employee that is hired under several different visa programs, each offering their corporate sponsors a privilege over hiring American workers.

One such privileged program is the F-1 OPT visa worker. F-1 visas are those granted to foreigners studying in the U.S. After graduating from university, these visas can be used for employment in the U.S. via OPT, optional practical training. They give a standard one year of eligibility, but they can be extended to three years for STEM graduates.

These foreign grads are preferred over U.S. grads due to a shocking tax bias, they are not subject to FICA taxes! Neither they, nor their employer, are charged Social Security or Medicare taxes during their F-1 OPT employment. This makes them hireable at a 15.3% discount over Americans.

So the corporation is given a tax benefit for reducing the American citizen employment base, the very base that keeps Social Security and Medicare solvent.

If they're hiring illegal over even visa workers, one wonders what kind of cash they were saving for themselves even as American taxpayers subsidized their venture. Were they paying all relevant taxes, or were they falsely claiming tax exemptions, or what was going on?

The bottom line here is this incident, the result a longtime investigation by ICE, illustrates that at a minimum, illegals were taking good-paying jobs meant for blue-collar Americans and leaving them to perform menial jobs if they could get them.

President Trump has supported the raids, but responded with equanimity in allowing the company to right the matter by sending their own jet to repatriate the illegals and allow them to come back legally with all the right paperwork.

The issue, though, remains. Not every job taken by an illegal is picking strawberries or waiting at Home Depot for spot jobs, or cleaning houses.

 

 

Our Judicial system moves very slowly but will eventually 'get the job done'.

 

ICE sets new deportation plan for Kilmar Abrego Garcia after he blocked 22 countries with fear claims

Candace Hathaway September 06, 2025 theblaze.com

The federal immigration agency says Abrego Garcia's fear claims are 'hard to take seriously.'

President Donald Trump's Immigration and Customs Enforcement has been engaged in an ongoing legal battle to remove Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an illegal alien from El Salvador, from the United States.

'That claim of fear is hard to take seriously, especially given that you have claimed (through your attorneys) that you fear persecution or torture in at least 22 different countries.'

A letter obtained by Fox News revealed that ICE has plans to deport Abrego Garcia to Eswatini, a small country in Southern Africa.

Last month, a federal judge blocked ICE from deporting Abrego Garcia to Uganda.

"As you know, the United States seeks to remove you from the United States based on your final order of removal," ICE wrote in a letter to Abrego Garcia on Friday. "Currently, you are designated to be removed to Uganda. Your attorney has informed us, however, that you fear persecution or torture in Uganda."

The letter went on to list nearly two dozen countries — including El Salvador, Mexico, Belize, Costa Rica, Guatemala, and Honduras — where Abrego Garcia expressed similar fears.

"That claim of fear is hard to take seriously, especially given that you have claimed (through your attorneys) that you fear persecution or torture in at least 22 different countries," ICE continued. "Nonetheless, we hereby notify you that your new country of removal is Eswatini, Africa."

Abrego Garcia was previously deported in March to El Salvador's CECOT prison, but returned to the U.S. in June to face human trafficking charges. He pleaded not guilty.

The federal government has accused Abrego Garcia of engaging in "extensive criminal activities since he has been in the United States," including being an MS-13 gang member, which he denies.

Abrego Garcia is currently being held in a detention center in Farmville, Virginia, while he awaits deportation following a judge's 2019 order of removal.

"This man is a suspected terrorist known to affiliate and be friends with MS-13 members. He's an extremely dangerous individual," Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem told Newsmax. "A known wife-beater. This is someone that should never be free in the United States of America, and bringing him to justice is incredibly important to the safety of the American people."
