Governor Reynolds signed a new immigration law on April 10th, and last week said the state would start enforcing it in July. “The only reason we had to pass this law is because the Biden administration refuses to enforce the laws already on the books,” she told Epoch Times on Thursday.

Under the new criminal law, Iowa authorities can arrest any person with outstanding deportation orders, who was previously removed from the United States, or who was previously denied admission to Iowa.

Last month, the Biden Administration gave Governor Reynolds until today, May 7th, to agree she will not enforce the new law, or else the federal government will sue Iowa, arguing the state’s new law is unconstitutional, since the power to regulate immigration is reserved to the federal government, not the states. ...

But Iowa’s law anticipated constitutional challenges, and tried to avoid those problems by tracking federal law. So the federal government’s Orwellian argument will have to be framed as the right to not enforce the law. In other words, under the doctrine of preemption, states can make similar laws but may not contradict federal law. Iowa will argue it is just tracking federal law and not contradicting it. Biden’s DOJ will argue with a straight face that Iowa’s law contradicts Biden’s deliberate choice to not enforce the immigration laws.

Last night, the House narrowly passed The Equal Representation Act, a bill that would add a citizenship question to the Census to prevent illegals from being counted for representation in Congress and the Electoral College.

Almost 10 million illegals have been allowed into the country by Alejandro Mayorkas since Biden took office, and now I think we know why.

As the census is currently conducted, illegal immigrants can be counted, which gives states with high levels of illegals more seats in the House of Representatives, and more electoral votes.

Over 6,300,000 illegals have already been shipped to mostly Democrat cities around the nation.

This bill was designed to prevent that, and every single Democrat just voted against it.

If you weren't already clear on why Democrats love illegal immigration, there ya go.

You might have noticed that mass migration to the West is a huge problem.

It is very bad for native Westerners, because it promises to transform our societies utterly, in permanent ways and not for the better. Curiously, it is also far from great for the centre-left political establishment responsible for promoting mass migration, because it has inspired a vast wave of popular opposition and filled the sails of right-leaning, migration restrictionist parties with new wind. Mass migration is also bad for taxpayers, for domestic security, for the welfare state, for many other aspects of the postwar liberal agenda and for our own future prospects. In short, mass migration is bad for almost everybody and everything.

There is a reason that nations have borders, and this is much the same reason that we have skin and that cells have membranes. You won’t survive for very long if you can’t control what enters you.

Despite the obvious fact that mass migration is bad, our rulers cling to migrationism like grim death. Given a choice between disincentivising asylees and intimidating, browbeating and harassing the millions of anti-migrationists among their own citizens, our governments generally choose the latter path, even though it is obviously the worse of the two.

Additionally unsettling, is the fact that official justifications for mass migration often have a creepy, post-hoc flavour about them. They sound much more like excuses dreamed up after the borders had already been opened, rather than any kind of reason mass migration must occur. When the migrationists really started to go crazy in 2015, for example, we were told that border security was simply impossible in the modern world and that infinity migrants were a force of nature we would have to deal with. That didn’t sound right even at the time, and since the pandemic border closures we no longer hear the inevitability narrative very much, although – and this is very bizarre to type – there is some evidence that high political figures like Angela Merkel believed it at the time. It is well worth thinking about why that might have been the case.

Watch this illegal immigrant complain that her free food and housing is not good enough

Imagine illegally entering India or China, getting free food and housing, then complaining. It'd never happen.

But here in the U.S., where the tax money meant for American vets, seniors, and kids is being pouring into housing illegals from 100+ countries around the world, the illegals have a message:

'It's very traumatic,' said Mercedes Vasquez-Simmons, translating for Pena. 'She says it's been quite traumatic. Everything that has been told to us to come to Monroe County, to Rochester hasn't been fulfilled.'

Illegal aliens are admitting that they are rushing to cross the border into the United States before the critical November presidential election.

Many say they are hoping to take advantage of Democrat President Joe Biden’s open border policies as they fear he will lose re-election.

Illegal border crossers told New York Post reporter Jennie Taer that they fear President Donald Trump will secure the Southern Border if elected in November.

After illegally crossing the Arizona border last week, two migrants from Colombia told Taer that they were concerned about the outcome of the upcoming general election.

“We think with the elections, it will be harder,” 20-year-old Ricardo said.

Ricardo’s brother Sebastian, 18, declared, “We don’t want Trump.”

... immigrants import cultural attitudes from their homelands—toward saving, toward trust, and toward the role of government—that persist for decades, and likely for centuries, in their new national homes. Full assimilation in a generation or two, Jones reports, is a myth. And the cultural traits migrants bring to their new homes have enduring effects upon a nation's economic potential.

The two cops allegedly shot by a Venezuelan migrant criminal alien were given a “guard of honor” as they exited a Queens hospital Monday — with one of the hurt Finest touchingly pushing the wheelchair of his more badly wounded partner.

Wall Street Admits The Biggest Economic Shocker: All Jobs In The Past Year Have Gone To Illegal Aliens

For much of the past year we had been pounding the table on two very simple facts: not only has the US labor market been appallingly weak, with most of the jobs "gained" in 2023 and meant to signal how strong the Biden "recovery" has been, about to be revised away (as first the Philly Fed and now Bloomberg both admit), but more shockingly, all the job growth in the past few years has gone to illegal aliens.

We first pointed this out more than a year ago, and since then we have routinely repeated - again, again, and again - yet even though we made it abundantly clear what was happening...

Supreme Court Shoots Down Illegal Aliens’ Deportation Appeals

The United States Supreme Court has shot down the appeals against deportation from three illegal aliens.

In a narrow 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court upheld the deportation orders after a legal dispute over notice requirements, Breitbart reported.

The Supreme Court denied the appeals of three illegal aliens fighting their deportation from the United States based on the adequacy of notice received for their hearings.

The significant immigration case involved Esmelis Campos-Chaves, Varinder Singh, and Raul Daniel Mendez-Colín, who were all ordered to be deported in absentia.

All three foreign nationals failed to appear at their immigration hearings. ...

However, the illegals claim the notices lacked specific details about the time and place of the hearings.

Subsequent to the initial notices, the DOJ sent detailed follow-up notices to the individuals.

The follow-up notices clearly stated the exact time and place for the hearings.

Biden Gave ‘Open Invite’ to 1.4M Illegals from 177 Countries to Flood America’s Border, Expert Warns

According to the Mexican government’s National Institute of Migration, nearly 1.4 million illegal aliens from a staggering 177 countries traveled through Mexico to the United States from January to May this year alone.

An illegal alien from El Salvador has been arrested on charges of raping and murdering a Maryland mother of five.

Victor Antonio Martinez-Hernandez, 23, crossed the U.S. southern border illegally in February 2023, according to Harford County Sheriff Jeffrey Gahler. Six months later, in August 2023, Hernandez is suspected of attacking, raping, and killing Rachel Morin while she exercised on the MA & PA Heritage Trail in Bel Air, Maryland, about 30 miles northeast of Baltimore.

“We are 1,800 miles away from the southern border and the American citizens are not safe because of failed immigration policies,” Gahler said during a press conference Saturday, directing this remark specifically to “1600 Pennsylvania Ave and to every member of both chambers of Congress.”

A video has emerged showing the moment a group of Good Samaritans caught an illegal alien who allegedly raped a child during a brutal daylight attack.

25-year-old Christian Geovanny Inga-Landi, an illegal alien from Ecuador, is suspected of kidnapping and raping a 13-year-old girl at knifepoint in a New York City park.

After they caught the suspect, the Good Samaritans beat Inga-Landi so badly that he hid under a car on the street to protect himself, according to video of the incident.

CBS News reported that Inga-Landi’s injuries were so severe that the police had to take him to the hospital before they could take him to jail.

Widely teased over the weekend, yesterday’s gala White House event was supposed to announce a DACA-like expansion of America’s unenforced immigration laws. The notion was that after “cracking down” (not) on the Southern Border to mitigate one election-year crisis, Biden balanced it out to satisfy his outraged democrat base, for whom no amount of illegal immigration will ever be enough. ...

The AP trotted out a couple eye-opening examples of people benefitting from the new policy. One gentleman, Foday Turay (if that is his real name), is a DACA border-jumper from Sierra Leone, never naturalized, married to a citizen, and a federal assistant district attorney in Philadelphia. Every single day, the AP assured readers, Foday and his wife fret that he could be deported any minute now.

But! Foday is a federal assistant district attorney in Philadelphia. In other words, this illegal immigrant — allegedly at imminent risk of deportation — is working as an attorney for the Department of Justice prosecuting American citizens. And illegal immigrants. Like himself. I mean, what the actual heck?
