Creating a registry for illegal aliens is not necessarily a new plan.

 

Trump Admin Planning To Create Registry For Illegal Aliens: Report

By  Ryan Saavedra Feb 25, 2025 DailyWire.com

The plan utilizes an old immigration law that was designed to catch suspected communists.

President Donald Trump’s administration is reportedly planning to create a registry for illegal aliens in the U.S. to submit their personal information to or else face criminal charges.

Documents obtained by The Wall Street Journal from the administration show that anyone 14 years of age and older will be required to submit their fingerprints and home addresses to the registry or face criminal prosecution.

Those who do not comply could face up to six months in prison and a $5,000 fine.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem wrote in a memo describing the new policy that those in the U.S. illegally face a choice.

“They can return home and follow the legal process to come to the United States or they can deal with the consequences of continuing to violate our laws,” she wrote.

The plan relies on the use of a 1940 immigration law that was designed to catch suspected communists. Officials have considered using the law in the past but have decided against it because pursuing the cases would take substantial resources and they don’t believe the payoff is high enough.

The plan aims to target those in the U.S. illegally who have not interacted with the government within the last 30 days, including applying for a work permit or for asylum, the report said.

The plan is to give illegal aliens a month to sign up for the registry after it is created.

The report noted that a similar program was used by then-President George W. Bush after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks to register “men and boys from predominantly Muslim countries.” The report said thousands were arrested and deported under that program.

Trump has significantly increased his already tough stance on illegal immigration since coming back into office.

Late last week he signed an executive order gutting all federal funding for any program that goes toward aiding illegal aliens in the U.S.

The president has declared a national emergency at the southern border and deployed significant assets, including the military, to stop the flow of illegal immigration into the U.S.

The results have been an approximately 95% reduction in encountering illegal aliens along the southern border.

Trump has also declared Mexican cartels and notoriously violent illegal alien street gangs as terrorist organizations, which allows the U.S. to use more resources to combat them.

 

Our southern border with Mexico has been a topic of discussion for many decades.

 

The deadliest mass crime wave in American history—who should be held accountable?

By Frank Hawkins www.americanthinker.com

The Biden administration, under the direct authority of Cuban-born Department of Homeland Security chief Alejandro Mayorkas, oversaw the open-door welcoming of an estimated 11 million illegal aliens into the United States.

A significant number of these illegals were known violent criminals, some directly released from jail cells in their own countries with the understanding that they could openly travel to, and be welcomed into, the United States.

It was an unprecedented invasion of America fostered and directly supported by the very people tasked with protecting our nation’s borders and the country’s citizens and residents.

In the middle of all this, Mayorkas appeared several times before Congress and always told the same lie, “The border is secure.”

(It is widely understood that “Under Federal law, it is a crime to knowingly and willfully make a materially false statement to Congress punishable with up to five years in prison.”)

The Mayorkas-sponsored invasion triggered the greatest single massive crime wave in American history. In the years 2022–2024, figures released by the US Border Protection Agency reported illegal aliens were responsible for 72,066 total crimes committed by illegals during the four-year time frame when Mayorkas ran DHS.

This number included 80 homicides and 1,358 sexual assaults and related offenses.

Thousands of other crimes committed included illegal drug possession, illegal re-entry, illegal weapons possession, driving under the influence, burglary, robbery, and assault and battery among others.

These stats don’t even include the overwhelming flood of illegal and deadly drugs, including Chinese-supplied fentanyl, which killed and damaged thousands of Americans and wreaked havoc in our cities—and still does. It was widely reported that the Mexican cartels running the smuggling operations took over control of the border in many places.

So, who should be held accountable for this national disaster, this unprecedented crime wave?

If someone comes to the door of your house and unlocks it and makes a known criminal aware that the door is open, and then the criminal comes through the door and shoots and kills the husband, rapes the wife, and then steals items from the house, is the person who unlocked the door and invited the criminal to enter an accessory to the crimes that were committed?

An accessory to a crime is described as, “a person who assists, but does not actually participate, in the commission of a crime .  . . . An accessory must generally have knowledge that a crime is being committed, will be committed, or has been committed.  . . . . The assistance to the criminal may be of any type, including emotional or financial assistance as well as physical assistance or concealment.”

Speaking of financial assistance, in the past week, the Department of Health and Human Services reported that it spent $22.6 billion on assistance to illegal immigrants from 2020 to 2024 as border crossings hit all-time highs.

All of this was triggered by the policies of Mayorkas. 

I’m no lawyer, but I hope Pam Bondi is looking at this. At a minimum, Mayorkas needs to go to jail for life. It was his specific actions that led to this unprecedented string of murders, rapes, and vast criminal damage and destruction in America.

To make it clear, Mayorkas is in some large way responsible for the crimes, misery, and chaos spread across the country by the illegals he welcomed into the country.

There is no other way to think about it.

On the other hand, his actions are a major reason Trump was elected. Maybe he could be given a copy of the election results to read in his very tiny jail cell.

 

Another great news article about 'Birthright Citizenship'. When it finally makes its way to the SCOTUS. hope and pray they rule with truth.

 

Birthright citizenship and Democrat hypocrisy

By Robin Itzler www.americanthinker.com

Congress passed the 14^th Amendment on June 13, 1866, more than a year after the Civil War ended. It then required three-fourths of our states to ratify it. This occurred on July 9, 1868, with South Carolina being the 28^th state.

Most everyone (except those who prefer white robes and hoods) agreed that the 14^th Amendment was the right thing to do to help our nation heal after the bloody Civil War. Doing more than giving former slaves citizenship, its impact is still felt today. The 14^th Amendment: 

• Grants citizenship to all people born or naturalized in the United States, including former slaves. 
• Provides equal protection under the law to all citizens. 
• Extends the Bill of Rights to the states. 
• Authorizes the government to reduce representation in Congress for states that limit voting rights. 
• Prohibits states from denying life, liberty, or property without due process of law. 
• Forbids Confederate loyalists from holding political and military office. 
• Excuses debts incurred by the federal and state governments in the Civil War. 

At the time, many Americans thought passing the 14^th Amendment concluded the citizenship debate. That might have been the case until 1895 when two legal Chinese immigrants living in San Francisco became parents. Because they were in the United States legally, they believed their son was automatically an American citizen. Not everyone agreed with that thinking. This went through legal challenges until the Supreme Court ruled in 1898 that Wong Kim Ark was an American citizen since he was born on U.S. soil.

Under President Trump’s January 20, 2025, executive order, Wong Kim Ark would still be considered an American citizen since he was born to a woman who was legally in the United States. The key word is “legal.” Until Donald Trump entered the political arena, most Democrats stood with Republicans against illegal aliens waltzing into the United States. Here are three of many examples:

President Bill Clinton in his 1995 State of the Union address:

"… our administration has moved aggressively to secure our borders more by hiring a record number of new border guards, by deporting twice as many criminal aliens as ever before, by cracking down on illegal hiring, by barring welfare benefits to illegal aliens… We are a nation of immigrants. But we are also a nation of laws. It is wrong and ultimately self-defeating for a nation of immigrants to permit the kind of abuse of our immigration laws we have seen in recent years, and we must do more to stop it.” 

Illinois Senator Barack Obama at a 2005 News Conference

 “We simply cannot allow people to pour into the United States undetected, undocumented, unchecked, and circumventing the line of people who are waiting patiently, diligently, and lawfully to become immigrants in this country.” 

New York Democrat Senator Chuck Schumer in 2009:

"… illegal migration is wrong, plain and simple. Persons who enter the U.S. without permission are illegal aliens and should not be treated the same as those who entered legally."

In addition to illegals entering the United States and later having children who are automatically granted citizenship, there is “birth tourism.” Pregnant women come to the United States solely to give birth, so their child is an American citizen. Afterwards, mother and child head back to their host country. This has been going on for years with “birth tourism” very popular in China.

What President Trump seeks to do is stop the parade of illegals coming into our country (by land, sea and air), and having a child that is automatically an American citizen. Whether the illegal mother has been in our country for several years or has just arrived in her ninth month of pregnancy, she is here illegally. Low level judges have blocked Trump’s birthright executive order while it moves through the legal process. Eventually the question of birthright citizenship, or jus soli (right of the soil), will be decided by the Supreme Court.

To protect the value of American citizenship, the justices should issue a landmark ruling that only those born to American citizens or naturalized citizens are automatically citizens of the United States of America. 

 

"Fortunately, a new sheriff and a posse of cabinet-level deputies are in town..." Hallelujah!

 

Along with Illegal Immigrants, Infectious Diseases are Crossing America’s Border

By Brian C. Joondeph, M.D. www.americanthinker.com

For the past four years, our national borders have been as porous as a sieve, allowing thousands of illegal aliens to cross into America every day. Few are screened for criminal backgrounds, useful skills, intentions toward America, or infectious diseases.

The criminal toll from invading gang members is significant, but not every border crosser is a thief, rapist, pedophile, or murderer.

However, everyone crossing the border could be a carrier of an infectious disease -- a walking petri dish of bacteria and other microorganisms that may cause far greater problems than the criminal aliens.

I am using the description “illegal alien” instead of the more woke terms of “migrant," “refugee," “visitor," “undocumented,” or “immigrant” as a hat tip President Bill Clinton, who, in his 1995 State of the Union address, stated, “All Americans … are rightly disturbed by the large numbers of illegal aliens entering our country. The jobs they hold might otherwise be occupied by citizens or legal immigrants.”

He was spot on, so I honored him by using his words. I suspect most Democrats and their media stenographers will object to the term “alien” despite it being used by one of their party’s heroes.

Most corporate media portray illegal aliens as pure and innocent as the wind-driven snow, overlooking the significant public health implications.

Fortunately, Fox News has demonstrated the courage to report honestly about the infectious diseases crossing America’s borders (emphasis mine).

Open borders allow deadly narcotics and criminal gangs to invade our country. But there's a silent killer also making its way across the border: tuberculosis.

America's woke public health authorities are more concerned with equity -- redistributing health resources among racial groups -- than with keeping a disease the U.S. once nearly eradicated from becoming a threat again.

Reported cases of TB shot up 34% from 2020 to 2023, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and continue to rise. More than three quarters of the cases are foreign-born people who picked up the disease in their home countries or traveling through countries with high TB rates. The TB incidence rate is 60 times higher in Haiti than in the U.S.

This article highlights New York City as the leading destination for illegal aliens, where the incidence of TB is 2.5 times higher than the national average. Additionally, 89 percent of TB patients in NYC are foreign-born.

The Southern Medical Association states, “Illegal immigration may expose Americans to diseases that have been virtually eradicated but are highly contagious, as in the case of TB.” ProPublica reviewed ICE detention centers and found staff often break strict rules for testing contagious diseases.

According to the CDC, symptoms of TB include a persistent cough, weakness, fatigue, weight loss, and night sweats. Most everyone crossing the Mexican desert, hiding from authorities, and having limited food and water for weeks on end will have these symptoms. Who gets screened? Everyone or no one? The latter is likely the case based on the sheer volume of immigrants crossing during the Biden administration.

Because they are ignorant of good hygiene measures, children are great transmitters of infectious diseases. Just ask any parent with children in daycare or elementary school.

Once across the U.S. border, immigrant children are sent to New York City, California, Denver, and other cities and states. What a perfect way to disseminate an infectious disease, especially since the children will again be living in close quarters in makeshift detention centers, coughing and sneezing on each other.

So far, I have only been discussing standard TB, which is treatable with a variety of medications. What about “multi-drug-resistant TB” or, even worse, “extensively drug-resistant TB”? Both, according to the CDC, are significantly more challenging to treat.

The global prevalence of active or latent TB is 25 percent. The CDC reports, “The TB rate among non–U.S.-born persons was 15 times the rate among U.S.-born persons.” Furthermore, Latin American slums are “a breeding ground for disease,” with TB being just one example.

TB is just one of many diseases that can cross the border into the US. Other infectious diseases, such as scabies, MRSA staph infections, hepatitis, measles, and chicken pox, can also be introduced. Researchers at Boston Medical Center found that “Immigrants have ongoing links with populations in their countries of origin that may provide a channel through which infectious diseases potentially can be introduced to new areas.”

Scientific American warns of tropical diseases that are “endemic in warmer, wetter, and poorer areas of the world, often closer to the equator,” such as schistosomiasis, Chagas disease, dengue, and Chikungunya, making their way to the U.S. as “immigration may become a greater disease pipeline.”

Polio has been eradicated in much of the world but remains endemic in three countries: Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Nigeria. Additionally, polio has reemerged in Venezuela, as reported by CNN. Currently, 770,000 Venezuelan migrants are living in the U.S.

Standard legal immigration into the U.S. requires a medical examination, which includes a review of medical history, a physical examination, a chest X-ray, and blood tests for syphilis. Blood testing and chest X-rays are not required for children and teenagers. What about illegal immigration? It's like closing and locking your home windows while leaving the front door wide open.

Remember the scene from The Godfather Part II where young Vito Corleone arrived at Ellis Island with suspected smallpox? He was placed in quarantine until he was deemed healthy enough to enter New York City. Under previous policies, Vito would have been sent to various U.S. cities and enrolled in overcrowded public schools, coughing and spreading tuberculosis or smallpox to his entire classroom and their families.

Fortunately, a new sheriff and a posse of cabinet-level deputies are in town, many of whom understand infectious diseases and the necessity of protecting Americans from needless illness and death. While Tren de Aragua and criminal gang members make the news, don’t overlook the silent microscopic killers out there, which are just as dangerous, if not more so, to American citizens.
