During an interview with Bloomberg TV on Monday, DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas responded to a question on how to handle people who are in the country illegally by stating that there are “12 million people who are here in the United States who have been contributing so fundamentally to our country’s well-being.”

Illegal Alien Arrested for Fatally Shooting Two Sisters in the Head in Their Texas Home




Sisters Catalina Andrade Valdez, 47, and Merced Andrade Bailon, 43, were found dead in their home in Farmers Branch, Texas, last Friday.

Uh-oh! The UK Daily Mail ran a story Saturday headlined, “Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs demands $512M reimbursement from Biden in scathing letter accusing him of failure to secure southern border.”

Democrat Katie Hobbs might want to check in with New York Mayor Eric Adams, before she gets too far down the risky road of complaining about the mafia-like Biden Administration’s open border policies. But Katie Hobbs is not, as they say, an intellectual giant.

Last Tuesday, Lukeville, Arizona’s daily count of illegal migrant ‘encounters’ topped the historic record, shooting over 12,000 per day for the first time. At that rate, new arrivals total +120,000 every ten days, or +1.2 million every three months — and that’s just the ones streaming through Lukeville.

At this rate, illegals could soon outnumber citizens.

Lukeville’s illegals hailed from all over the world, including far-flung places like China, India, and Senegal. And they were mostly male.




When asked, Customs and Border Patrol agents blamed, not Joe Biden, but the smugglers for the surge in illegals. Those wily smugglers! Refusing to enforce U.S. border policy!

Maybe Katie isn’t as dumb as she looks. Maybe there’s safety in numbers. Along with Governor Hobbs, both Arizona Senators — Mark Kelly and Kyrsten Sinema — slammed the Lukeville situation and demanded better solutions from Biden's administration.

You have to give her credit for getting right down to it. The final paragraph in Katie’s short letter to President Robert L. Peters demanded a half-billion dollars:

Additionally, due to the federal government's failure to secure our border, the State of Arizona has spent $512,529,333 on border operations including migrant transportation, drug interdiction, and law enforcement. Pursuant to Section 26-105(E) of the Arizona Revised Statutes, I am requesting the federal government reimburse the state for these expenses. I anticipate coordination between our offices to secure these funds. I look forward to your prompt response on the above matters.
Haha, don’t hold your breath waiting for that “prompt response,” Governor.

You know, it’s hard to say what happens next. It’s one thing to unleash the FBI on a mayor like Eric Adams, and quite another to go after a sitting Governor. But on the other hand, there is precedent, since the FBI did almost try to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer.

So, Governor Hobbs may want to buff up her security team. Just saying.

Migrants staying at the Big Apple’s controversial tent shelter at Floyd Bennett Field have started going door to door in nearby neighborhoods begging residents for cash, food and clothes, furious locals told The Post Friday.

David Fitzgerald, 62, said he has noticed an influx of asylum seeker families showing up on his doorstep in Brooklyn’s Marine Park neighborhood in recent weeks asking for spare change — sparking safety fears among some of his neighbors.

“There’s definitely an invasion of immigrants from Floyd Bennett Field in our neighborhood and I see them sitting outside stores … outside the mall and going around to all the houses in the neighborhood, knocking on the door looking for money,” the retiree said.

“I certainly sympathize with their situation, but to have people knocking at your door looking for food that don’t speak English, it’s annoying. I don’t like it. We have never had this before, ever,” he continued.

KNOXVILLE Tenn. (WATE) — A former state employee from Knoxville and her husband face more than a decade behind bars after pleading guilty to the illegal production and sale of driver’s licenses and ID cards.

Cheryl Huff and Mario Paz-Mejia, both from Knoxville, have pleaded guilty to conspiracy to produce, without lawful authority, identification documents or false identification documents, the U.S. Department of Justice announced.

The pair admitted in their written plea agreements that they engaged in a conspiracy to create hundreds of false Tennessee driver’s licenses and identification cards. These were issued to people not qualified under Tennessee law to receive them. ...

According to the DOJ release, Paz-Mejia charged individuals who were neither citizens of the United States nor residents of Tennessee $2,500 for a Tennessee driver’s license or identification card.

He also assisted his customers in obtaining false citizenship and residency documents, two requirements to obtain a Tennessee driver’s license. This included fraudulent lease agreements to establish proof of Tennessee residency, false birth certificates, Social Security cards, and driver’s licenses from other states and U.S. territories to develop evidence of citizenship or legal residency.

Not sure it's true, but could be.

The USA under “Joe Biden” has lost its military credibility, its economic power, and its moral authority. We must wonder if we are susceptible to being overrun, and possibly even occupied by our adversaries. Of course, the first duty of any government is to defend the country’s sovereign territory. “Joe Biden’s” Homeland Security Chief Mayorkas is allowing more than 10,000 illegal aliens across the Mexican border each and every day. Most of these characters are military-age men, 90-percent of them lately from places other than Latin America, quite a few from China and hostile Muslim lands. We don’t bother vetting them anymore. We just give them cell phones, debit cards loaded with $5,000 of walking-around money, and plane tickets to. . . wherever they like. They’re not here to make Moo Goo Gai Pan or trim privet hedge. What do you think might happen in a set-up like that?

Prediction: in 2024, things are going to blow up around the USA. Infrastructure. Power plants, transport hubs, public places, bridges, monuments, you name it. If you can sneak people and fentanyl across the border, you can sneak Semtex and C-4 plastic explosives over and the electronics are easy to get in-country. I wouldn’t rule out fissionable materials either, or stuff than can be used as a “dirty bomb” — a conventional explosive that disperses dangerous radioactive material when it blows. I’d also expect groups of trained “migrant” men with rifles, grenades, and so on, to be shooting up places where people gather. We under-appreciate the amount of mayhem you can kick off with small arms. If the “Joe Biden” regime just stands by on that and does nothing, will you be surprised to hear that American citizens begin forming militias to shoot back, maybe even start to hunt down and round up illegal immigrants? The table is set for exactly this kind of low-grade war right here in our country.

Merry Crisis: December Sets CBP Record for Most Illegal Immigrant Encounters Ever

The total: more than 276,000. That's the most illegal immigrants encountered by CBP in a given month ever and beats the previous all-time high set last September. December's record-setting data on the border crisis also drove the current fiscal year total (since October 1) to more than 760,000 illegal immigrant encounters.

The Democrat-controlled, crime-infested, cash-strapped state of California will begin the new year by giving illegal aliens taxpayer-funded “free” healthcare.

California will offer “free” healthcare, under the state’s socialist government-run health insurance program, to all qualifying foreign nationals who illegally crossed the border.

The state currently faces a $68 billion deficit in the next fiscal year.

Nevertheless, it has been steadily expanding access to its Medi-Cal health insurance program for low-income residents.

In 2015, the scheme was expanded to allow undocumented criminal alien children to qualify for the taxpayer-funded program.

It was then expanded further under Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom to cover undocumented criminal alien adults between the ages of 19-25 and those over 50.

On January 1, California will become the first state to offer free healthcare to all qualifying individuals — regardless of immigration criminal alien status or age.
