Whatever else you want to say about it, it has to be more effective than our own policy.

Saudi Arabia is at war with Yemen. They are causing the disaster there, and the US is helping.

It's kind of like US policy, a LOT of the migrants are victims of our foreign policy in those nations, although we're not bombing them, but we are fucking with their economy.

Patrick says

we hand them $2,200, and we put them on that 2200 dollar diet from there on out per month! Yet, somebody who works all his life… retires, and draws social security gets $1,400. The Afghans who were hanging on to the planes… they receive $2,200 per month.

It bothered me to hear Colonel MacGregor say this. Some refugees get a one time 'resettlement' handout of $2200 bucks but nobody automatically just gets that per month. When somebody confidently says some bullshit you know to be untrue you start to question their other positions.

‘An illegal alien, freed into the United States by President Joe Biden’s Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), has been denied bail after allegedly raping and murdering an 11-year-old girl in Pasadena, Texas, this month.

Last week, the Pasadena Police Department arrested 18-year-old Juan Carlos Garcia Rodriguez for allegedly raping Maria Gonzalez before strangling her and stuffing her lifeless body into a laundry basket that he then allegedly hid under her bed.

Rodriguez first showed up at the U.S.-Mexico border in January from Guatemala before being turned over to HHS as an Unaccompanied Alien Child (UAC) because he was 17 years old at the time. HHS eventually released Rodriguez to an adult sponsor in Shreveport, Louisiana.’

Of course. That is why the illegals were invited in. To displace low wage Americans with yet lower wage people who can be more easily controlled, for the benefit of business owners.

Yep, we just had GoFiber install their underground cable in our neighborhood. Only the foreman could speak English (he was an American born bilingual Hispanic), the rest of the crew spoke only Spanish but had a hard time reading in Spanish. They busted a PVC sprinkler line when the dug in my yard and I had to stay on top of them for the repair. The first guy just glued in a PVC patch he cut using a hacksaw blade without the purple primer and of course that leaked. Then they buried it any way. I made them dig it back up and send out someone who was familiar with PVC pipe repair. An older White guy showed up and I watched him fix it the correct way, but it still takes 2 hours for the solvent weld to cure, so they were supposed to leave it unburied until I could test it. However, some worker buried it anyway, so I called that White guy out to make them dig it up. I made them leave it unburied overnight so I could test it the next day. I wonder how many other homes they busted sprinkler pipes and did poor repairs.

You can’t be American if your first act of entering the country is a lawbreaking one. That’s not racist. That’s not xenophobic. We are a nation built on the rule of law. Secure the border and eliminate lottery-based immigration in favor of meritocratic admission. Do not apologize for it.

New York Mayor Eric Adams, a longtime “sanctuary city advocate,” had a near meltdown yesterday when he told commissioners in no uncertain terms that illegal immigrants would destroy New York City.

At least they’re not wearing masks.

Texans could not be reached for comment, because they were too busy fending off even more illegal aliens than New York City. But New York has a painful, monkeypox-like problem the Texans don’t have. I will explain.

First, the Big Apple’s pro-jab mayor said for the first time in his life, he has finally confronted a tragic-comic problem that he can’t handle:

“Let me tell you something, New Yorkers. Never in my life have I had a problem that I didn’t see an ending to. I don’t see an ending to this. I don’t see an ending to this. This issue will destroy New York City. DESTROY New York City. We getting TEN THOUSAND MIGRANTS a month. One time we were just getting Venezuela, now we getting Ecuador, now we getting Russian-speaking coming through Mexico, now we getting Western Africa, now we getting people from all over the globe have made their minds up that they gonna come through the southern part of the border and come to New York City.

And everybody’s saying it’s New York City’s problem.

We have a 12-billion dollar deficit that we’re going to have to cut every service in this City is going to be impacted. All of us.”

Haha! Citizens, who pay the extraordinarily-high taxes in the City, won’t be getting services. Illegal aliens will be getting the services. Checkmate!

The big problem is that New York City once passed a law requiring it to provide shelter and services to illegal aliens, as part of its celebrated “sanctuary city” program. Adams has already been to court several times recently trying to thwart the rule, but has gone down in flames every single time. The courts are saying, don’t put this on us, you need to change that law.

I don't see much trouble getting under those buoys unless you can't swim. That looks more symbolic as a barrier than an actual barrier.

Those buoys may be supporting an underwater net. Even so, they seem easy enough to just go over top.

Officials in Minnesota are set to issue driver’s licenses to 81,000 illegal aliens residing in the state.

The new law, dubbed “Driver’s License For All,” comes into effect on October 1.

Under the law, illegal aliens will be officially eligible to apply for driver’s licenses.

However, the move is raising major concerns about voter fraud ahead of the critical 2024 elections.

A Minnesota driver’s license is all a person needs to register to vote online.

I wonder how long until an illegal is voted into office.

HOLBROOK, AZ (3TV/CBS 5) -- A sheriff’s deputy helped save a child in danger of human trafficking in northern Arizona earlier this month.

On Sept. 8, a Navajo County deputy pulled over 35-year-old Julio Ramirez-Felipe on I-40 near Winslow. Authorities say Ramirez-Felipe, a California resident, was traveling with a young boy unrelated to him. During the stop, the deputy noticed signs of human trafficking and saw the child was in danger. Ramirez-Felipe was arrested and booked into Navajo County jail for allegedly assisting in a human smuggling organization.

“I would like to commend my deputy for his exemplary investigative work on this traffic stop. Because of this simple traffic stop and furtherance of his investigation, an innocent child was rescued from danger. Human trafficking is a real issue that affects too many children. Thank you to the men and women who combat these issues every day,” said Navajo County Sheriff David Clouse.

Yesterday, in a massively-important story completely embargoed by Establishment Media, probably because they haven’t gotten their narrative orders from the White House yet, Governor Greg Abbott of Texas made history by finally doing what the state’s conservatives have long been begging for:

Governor Abbott formally declared a State of Invasion at the border.




It’s a big deal, maybe even ‘yuge,’ as Trump would say. In a public letter in 2022 addressed to Joe Biden, Governor Abbott declared the federal government had failed to protect Texas from invasion, so the state invoked Article I, Section 10, Clause 3 of the Constitution. As Abbott put it, in his historic letter:




The subtext of Abbott’s letter was literally a declaration of war. Article I, § 10, Clause 3 says that states shall not “engage in war” without the consent of Congress unless actually invaded:

No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, lay any Duty of Tonnage, keep Troops, or Ships of War in time of Peace, enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State, or with a foreign Power, or engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay.

For at least a year that I can remember, Texas conservatives have been begging Abbott to invoke Clause I(10)(3) and take action. Abbott made the declaration but was slower to act. One sees both sides of the timing of making such a career-defining political decision. Abbott took the longer approach, and built up political armor by first sending migrants to blue places like Chicago and New York, which are also now buckling under the strain and more importantly, are complaining loudly and publicly.

It’s hard to understate how big a deal this is. Texas is going to war … but against what enemy? In his letter, Abbott smartly identified the cartels. In a tweet yesterday, Abbott showed his move was carefully and long-planned: at the time of the announcement, Texas has now already deployed the National Guard and started building containment measures like a border wall.

By moving fast, Texas can’t now be stopped before they begin by an emergency temporary injunction from an Administration-friendly judge. It’s too late. Yesterday Abbott tweeted:




Texas’s war might be with other enemies than just the cartels, Around 6pm last week, Governor Abbott tweeted that federal agents were removing Texas’ newly-installed razor wire and were actively helping migrants cross the barriers into Texas.




CLIP: Federal agents remove razor wire from the Texas border and help migrants cross the border (1:37).

One suspects the Administration’s lawyers are probably frantically drafting right now. Biden will likely file an emergency lawsuit trying to stop Texas from defending itself. The rhetoric will be hot as mustard. I also expect Woke Media to soon shift to covering Texas’s wartime “human rights abuses.” Oh, the humanity!

It’s a developing story. Stay tuned.

Do you think for an instant that the State of Texas will file criminal charges Federal Agents for violating Texas laws???

Just like former Sanctuary City fan and Mayor Eric Adams, New York’s replacement Governor Kathy Hochul is experiencing this week a newfound appreciation for little things like borders and immigration controls and stuff. Yesterday, Hochul told a CNN anchor that New York’s shelter law was only meant for homeless aids patients and displaced families. “Never,” she said, “was it envisioned to be an unlimited, universal right or obligation on the city to have to house literally the entire world.” ...

In any event, the reporter asked Hochul, “Some people have said that New York’s legal right, its mandate to provide shelter, is a draw for people to come here. And they’ve called for it to be rescinded. Would you support that?” Governor Hochul immediately replied, “Yes, I would.”

Of course, talk is cheap. It’s one thing to say you would support rescinding New York City’s mandatory shelter law, it’s another thing to do something about it. ...

According to Gothamist, over 110,000 illegal aliens roosted in the city over the last 12 months, and around 60,000 are still living in the city’s shelter system — with an annual price tag of billions of dollars, according to New York City officials.

I am reading between the lines, but the unstated story seems to be that a certain minimum critical mass of illegal aliens has been reached in New York City, and now those aliens who’ve figured out how the game works are telling their friends and relatives about New York’s unlimited shelter law, which in turn is increasing arrivals, who are telling their friends and relatives, and so on. So the problem is spiraling out of control like a death tornado.

In other words, at this point it’s not just a few buses from Texas or a few flights from Florida. The aliens know now.

The Governor showed up in related news, when the New York Times ran a connected story yesterday headlined, “U.S. Will Allow Nearly 500,000 Venezuelan Migrants to Work Legally.” The sub-headline explained: “The move, announced late Wednesday, followed intense lobbying by New York Democrats before and during President Biden’s visit to New York City this week.” Here’s how the Times described the rationale for letting half a million illegal aliens obtain green cards:

"In an unusual break with a president of their party, the New York Democrats had argued that the city’s social safety net would tear under the weight of more than 110,000 recently arrived migrants unless they were allowed to work and support themselves more quickly."

Democrats hope that if the illegal aliens can work more easily, they’ll move out of free city housing. But as usual, democrats ignore normal human behavior and economic incentives. Obviously, the aliens will work and stay in free city housing.

On the other hand, never let a good crisis go to waste. Am I right?

Hochul is a fucking cunt.

As of 9/13/23, anyone buying ammo in the PRNY has to go through a NICS check (Federal firearms background check). Just in time for hunting season, there's a $2.50 surcharge per box of ammo - for shotshells that's for every 25 shells.

I was at Cabela's picking up powder for reloading, and the salesperson wondered if she needed to run a NICS check. I said "That's for ammo, not powder. You can't shoot powder. You need hulls, primers, powder, wads, and shot."

She agreed, so no NICS check so far for powder in the PRNY.
