Well, Well, Well, If It Isn’t The Consequences Of Their Own Lawn Signs | Ep. 1576
Democrats freak out about illegal immigrants being sent by Republican governors to Martha’s Vineyard and other blue cities; Janet Yellen praises the IRS; and Joe Biden calls for unity five minutes after labeling half of Americans threats to the republic.
And this is what border security looks like when it is done correctly.
Gangs have always been a problem in southern California and Central America. But I would say that in the past few years, many of their members have become emboldened, particularly along the Mexican-American border. Lax border security contributes to this, since it makes it easier to smuggle drugs, humans, and weapons. Drug cartels have built tunnels to go under what little fence we have, or they run boats up the coast to avoid being caught at all.
If border security was beefed up and taken seriously by our government, we could probably see a decline in gangs because their flow of money would be severely cut. Until then, gangs will continue to be a major problem along the border, along with every other illicit activity they take part in.
Yeah I’m pretty sure we could.
Maduro just wants his people to starve. Less smugglers means less food, which means less people to protest the terrible Venezuelan government.
If the United States tried this, we’d be called “racist.”
from AP:
Walking into Mexico at the nation’s busiest border crossing with the United States is no longer an uninterrupted stroll for foreigners.
Starting late Wednesday, pedestrians going to Tijuana from San Diego at the San Ysidro crossing must choose between a line for Mexicans who get waved through, and a line for foreigners who must show a passport, fill out a form and - if staying more than a week - pay 322 pesos, or roughly $20, for a six-month permit.
About a dozen foreigners stood in line Wednesday night, directed by English-speaking agents to six inspection booths where they got passports stamped. It took about 10 minutes from start to finish.
Again, Mexico objects when the US makes efforts to curb illegal immigration, but somehow it’s fine for them to enforce their own immigration laws.
Nearly two hundred U.S. citizens have been murdered in Mexico since 2013. Fierce gunfights, kidnappings, bus hijackings, car-jackings and extortion by Mexican cartels are all possibilities that could be faced by U.S. citizens travelling into Mexico.
Well I know one solution for this problem, but Obama isn’t going to like it. It’s called SECURING OUR BORDER. Contrary to popular belief, securing out border does not only stop illegals from crossing, it stops supply lines to cartels, too. By having an unsecured border, we are passively aiding cartels, since they can run drugs, money, and weapons without getting caught or any consequences.
But you know, illegals, yeah. They deserve to come to America because...for reasons. Keep that border unsecured, yo.
A routine traffic stop in Pinal County (Arizona) led Sheriff’s deputies into a high-speed chase with a human smuggler who had previously been deported 20 times.
If this guy has snuck across our border 20 times, I really don’t think our border is as secure as the Obama Administration says it is.
The new border bills drafted by Republican leaders require the actual removal of at least 66 miles of weak border fencing between laborers in Mexico and employers in the United States.
The fence should stretch all along our border with Mexico, not just 27 miles. Whatever you remove, you should be replacing. Not knocking it down making it easier for more illegals to come.
If you are a United States citizen and cross the border frequently you may have to pay a fee to go into Mexico.
Whoa! Talk about double standards! Americans will have to pay a non-resident fee and have to be registered with the government? How does Mexico have better border security than the US? Yet, to all the Mexicans in America we have to legalize them, give them welfare and food stamps, and put up with the dreamers crap because somehow their dreams are more valid than actual Americans?! I don't understand this!
4 Turkish men arrested after paying $8,000 for help crossing into Texas.
Homeland Security spokeswoman Marsha Catron said the individuals weren’t associated with the Islamic State, which is also known by the acronyms ISIL and ISIS.
“The suggestion that individuals who have ties to ISIL have been apprehended at the southwest border is categorically false, and not supported by any credible intelligence or the facts on the ground,” Ms. Catron said. “DHS continues to have no credible intelligence to suggest terrorist organizations are actively plotting to cross the southwest border.”
She did not reply to questions about the status of the four men or why her department proposed they be put on terrorist watch lists.
As of a month ago they were being held at the South Texas Detention Facility in Pearsall, Texas.
The men initially claimed to be members of the Revolutionary People’s Liberation Party/Front, known by the acronym DHKP/C. The group is a Marxist insurgency that claimed credit for a 2013 suicide bomb attack on the U.S. embassy in Ankara, Turkey’s capital, last year.
But U.S. counterterrorism officials said the men were more likely members of the PKK, or Kurdistan Workers’ Party, which has been battling for Kurdish rights within Turkey for decades, though recently PKK and Turkish leaders have tried to broker a political agreement.
Both the PKK and DHKP/C are listed by the State Department as terrorist groups. Jessica Vaughan, policy studies director at the Center for Immigration Studies, said the fact that avowed members of terrorist groups got into the U.S. shows it’s possible to sneak across a porous border.
NOGALES, Arizona -- On September 11, 2014, individuals or a group in Mexico hung a message to America over the U.S.-Mexico border wall condemning American support for Israel and declaring support for Palestine. U.S. federal agents discovered the banner draped over the primary border fence in Arizona’s Yuma Sector in a restricted area that could only have been reached from Mexico. The message also contained an image described by authorities as an anarchist symbol. The incident was kept secret from the American public by federal authorities. Breitbart Texas exclusively obtained the leaked incident report from federal agents on the condition their identities remain private.
This is disturbing.
Former national deputy chief of the U.S. Border Patrol Ronald Colburn tells National Review Online that the Obama administration has undone all of the progress made at America’s southern border since 9/11. “We’re back to a pre-9/11 situation basically, and this administration did that in the past five years,” he says. “All of the good that was done after 9/11 up to now has been reversed singlehandedly.” Colburn, who spent more than 30 years working for U.S. Customs and Border Protection, says the resulting national-security risk has to do with the “clutter” of people at the border. He says all of the gains made since 9/11 came as a result of reducing the number of people crossing the border. The Border Patrol’s task is to sort through the haystack of people as they come across, he says. “What this situation on the border is doing is growing the haystack, is adding clutter, so that those dangerous needles get through because we’re tied up capturing, instead, juvenile children from Guatemala and El Salvador,” he says. “When you see the cartels — the Zetas and MS-13 and the Gulf Cartel — laughing about this on the Internet, you know what’s behind it.” Colburn says the “gangsters down south” enjoy social media, taking selfies, and talking about one another online. Border Patrol officials monitor the cartels’ online communications along with officials from the Department of Defense and intelligence community, he says.
GRANJENO CITY, Texas—A remote section of the U.S.-Mexico border near the Anzalduas International Bridge is one of the few places where media can witness and record the mass crossings of minors coming from Central America. U.S. Border Patrol is now restricting journalists' access to the area citing safety concerns.
I call bullshit. The government doesn't want us seeing just how bad the border control crises is. This restriction of media is purposeful and is meant to lead astray the American people again.
And for the record, who started this rumor about the US just letting in people willy-nilly? This kind of influx doesn't just happen on its own.
In my opinion, start busing them back. They have no business in America and neither do the other 11 million. Come here legally.
