Massachusetts has added almost 700,000 food stamp recipients in a year, equal to 10% of the population

Well, would you look at that! The uber liberal state of Massachusetts, over the past 14 months, has added a whopping 672,483 EBT cards to its welfare rolls. ...

Nothing says, "Best economy ever" quite like 672,483 new food stamp cards in Massachusetts.

Bidenomics is working, folks! ...

If those numbers are correct, that would mean 10% of the state's population got on food stamps over the past 14 months.

State Senator Ryan Fattman is calling for an audit of the welfare program, as he assumes this increase might have something to do with the state spending $3.1 billion to partially fund the migrant crisis back in December 2023.

Don't worry though, the Boston Herald "has learned" that migrants do not qualify for EBT programs, so we can rule that out.

Venezuelan gang seizes San Antonio apartment complex
12 October 2024 by Bob Bishop

San Antonio’s massive apartment complex, Palatia Apartments (678 units), has been taken over by Tren de Aragua, a transnational criminal organization from Venezuela. This has caused fear and concern in the city. Four male members, who were documented Tren de Aragua gang members and had been previously detained by the U.S. Border Patrol, were later released. The gang has been involved in drug activity and human trafficking. It has been collecting rent from illegal aliens living at the complex. Additionally, a murder has occurred at the complex, according to interviewed residents. This alarming situation in San Antonio, a sanctuary city and FEMA center for human trafficking, has not received the national attention it deserves, unlike a similar incident in Aurora, Colorado.

The San Antonio Migrant Center (MRC) funded by FEMA is a transportation hub for illegal aliens for South Texas. It has facilitated the harboring and logistical transportation of over 633,000 aliens across the country. Logically, some migrants without a destination remain in San Antonio. This environment is ripe for human exploitation, with migrants staying in San Antonio benefiting from financial support provided by Catholic Charities and other NGOs.

Raddatz: "The incidents were limited to a handful of apartment complexes... A handful!"

@JDVance: "Do you hear yourself? Only a handful of apartment complexes were taken over by Venezuelan gangs and Donald Trump is the problem and not Kamala Harris' open border?"

And now, today, as former President Bill Clinton campaigns for Kamala Harris — yes, FOR Harris — in Georgia, he's telling Americans that if we had proper vetting at the border Laken Riley would still be alive.

Watch:

Bill, you know you're supposed to be campaigning for Border Czar Kamala Harris, right? The lady responsible for this whole mess at the border.
You - a former Democrat president - are essentially telling us that if she and Joe would've done their job over the past 4 years, this poor young lady wouldn't have had to suffer death at the hands of an illegal immigrant.

And you're (refreshingly) telling us that the reason we need mass migration is because 60+ years of the sexual revolution and limitless abortion and "deconstruction" of the family - led by liberals - has led to cat ladies and porn addicts and girlboss CEOs at the expense of the survival of the country.

You're essentially campaigning for Donald Trump!!

You're essentially campaigning for Donald Trump!!

now let’s consider 25 million illegal immigrants. let’s say they live 4 to a dwelling. that’s 6.25 million required dwellings to house this influx.

1.4 million new housing units were built in the US in 2023.

see the problem? ...

nobody’s “fair share” of taxes ought to include “$10,000/room/month ($128k/year) for housing illegals.




i’m not sure anyone really knows, but some estimates place the housing cost for putting up illegals at $451 billion in 2023. if this is even close to correct (and it could be) that that’s a staggering number, nearly 8% of the federal budget. (though a lot of this was paid by states or localities)

whatever the number, the whole thing has become an epic racket padding the pockets of select interests and donors at the expense of john q public.

Border patrol agents are threatening to leave the critical federal agency in droves if Vice President Kamala Harris wins in November — with multiple agents telling The Post that they can’t face four more years of being undermined and scapegoated.

“I’m not doing this s–t again … four years of hell,” said one agent, who is nowhere near retirement.

Another agent said: “Lots of guys who can retire will go. If Trump wins, they’ll stay.”

A dangerous Venezuelan gang has taken over at least four apartment complexes in San Antonio, Texas, as it expands its reach in yet another America city, DailyMail.com can reveal.

Dubbed the 'epitome of evil', Tren de Aragua (TdA) is known to run drug smuggling, child prostitution and human trafficking rings in South America, with its members crossing over into the US in recent years amid a wave of Venezuelan migrants.

The tattooed mobsters have since unleashed a wave of crime across the country from Miami and Texas to Denver and New York.

The gang's activities in the American cities are back in the spotlight after ABC News’ Martha Raddatz claimed the instances of gang members' presence in apartments was limited to a 'handful' of complexes in Aurora, Colorado.

Just last week a small army of police officers raided an apartment complex in San Antonio and arrested 19 individuals - including four gang members.

Law enforcement sources confirmed TdA had been operating at the Palatia Apartments for five to six months - squatting in empty units they either rented out to other migrants, used as a base to deal cocaine or, most horrifically, as prostitution dens to pimp out women and children.

But now DailyMail.com can reveal that this apartment invasion is just the tip of the iceberg in the major southern Texas city, with at least three other rental properties also occupied by the criminal organization.

Two Illegal Alien Gang Members Set Free by Biden-Harris Admin Arrested for Murder




Two violent Venezuelan illegal alien gang members have been arrested in New York over the brutal murder of a 59-year-old man.

Both illegals are members of the notorious Venezuelan “Tren de Aragua” gang.

The foreign killers were able to illegally enter the country and roam American streets freely due to the open border policies of the Biden-Harris administration, authorities confirmed.

They were arrested in New York and charged with the murder and robbery of a 59-year-old man in a Connecticut hotel.

Police confirmed that they arrested 24-year-old woman Gregory Marlyn Galindez-Trias and Moises Alejandro Condollo-Urbaneja, a 22-year-old man.

An illegal alien has been arrested for raping an injured and defenseless 80-year-old woman in Florida.

Erick Garcia-Gutierrez, a 37-year-old man from Nicaragua, is accused of sexually assaulting the elderly woman in Miami-Dade County.

The victim was lying injured on the ground at the time of the attack after she fell in her home.

Garcia-Gutierrez had heard his victim “screaming for help” as she lay injured on the floor.

However, rather than help the elderly woman, Garcia-Gutierrez chose to rape her instead.

Garcia-Gutierrez was arrested on Oct. 19 in Miami-Dade County.

‘We’re flooded with trash’: pollution crisis as 500,000 migrants a year attempt perilous Darién Gap crossing



Isolated communities are sounding the alarm over poisoned rivers and cultural erosion after a surge in migrants crossing their ancestral lands

The Darién Gap’s isolation and formidable reputation has shielded the Indigenous communities who live there from the outside world for centuries. Spanish conquistadors died trying to settle in the sliver of dense, swampy rainforest connecting Colombia with Panama, and in recent decades only the most intrepid outsiders have undertaken the 60-mile (97km) trek as a test of their mettle.

Now, however, with half a million people slogging through the rainforest on their way to the US each year, Darién’s Indigenous groups say their ecosystem and way of life are under threat.

“It’s something that we did not expect, as the migration took off from one day to the next and suddenly we found ourselves flooded with trash,” says Yenairo Aji, a community leader, or “noco”, in Nueva Vigía, a village close to the Darién’s northern frontier where about 1,400 Emberá people live. “It’s worrying because we depend on our local ecosystem for everything. It’s our source of life.”

"He's trying to rape me. Can you help me?"
Deputies arrested 27-year-old Luis Diego Hernandez-Moncayo who is reportedly in the country illegally.

The sheriff noted that the suspect had applied for asylum in the U.S. just one day before the attempted rape.

Here's the illegal who nearly raped her.

After Roe v. Wade was reversed, and after several states outlawed recreational abortions, and after the Democrats’ relentless drumbeat about unwanted babies, you would think, as Politico does, that higher female turnout is all about single women’s fears of raising unplanned infants alone.

That explanation is sufficient to account for some women’s voting. But what if something else is going on? What if something else scared single women even worse than the prospect of an accidental pregnancy? And what if the only the Republicans could reassure this easily-influenced voting demographic?

What could something like that be? What could pose a greater threat to young, single women than losing easy access to abortion? Well, how about this:



Twelve-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray never even got the chance to have her first abortion. In June, she walked into a convenience store in Houston and disappeared. A couple weeks later, she was found dead in a creek.

Houston Police arrested two Venezuelan men who’d recently arrived in the country via Biden’s underground expressway. Both illegals face capital murder charges and are being held on a $10 million bond.

Maybe we could have asked Harford County resident Rachel Morin about which she fears more, except she was found raped and killed next to a suburban hiking trail just outside Bel Air, Maryland around this time last year:



The Harford Sherriff’s Department arrested Victor Antonio Martinez-Hernandez, 23, for hiding in a drainage culvert, then ambushing, raping and killing Rachel. Victor is an ‘undocumented visitor’ from El Salvador. He’s here with permission of the Democrats and the Biden Administration.

In a press conference, Sheriff Gahler called Victor a “monster.” He said the Salvadoran was a serial killer and serial rapist, who’d been well-known to police in El Salvador. He was also known to Biden’s HHS officials when they escorted Victor into Los Angeles and gave him money, a cell phone, and a free airplane ticket to Tulsa. During his short stint in LA, despite all his sweet free immigration cash, Victor brutally attacked a nine-year-old girl and her mother in a home invasion robbery. He was arrested, released, and then flew to Tulsa with a free HHS plane ticket.

But the LA police had taken a DNA sample while they had Victor in custody. That sample allowed the Sheriff’s Department to identify Victor as Rachel Morin’s murderer.

Next, let’s consider Señor Eduardo Sarabia, 40, an illegal from Mexico. The enterprising illegal bought a van with his free Biden cash, and guess what he did with it? Hint: Eduardo did not turn his free van into a taco truck. He had another gig in mind:



Eduardo was arrested in May for kidnapping and raping two women, one 26 (the other’s age was undisclosed). Based on what police found inside his van, officers strongly believe there are many other victims.

As this morning’s final sordid example from the devil’s catalog of many similar stories, consider the case of Christian Geovanny Inga-Landi, 25, a Biden-approved illegal immigrant from Ecuador:



Inga-Landi surprised two 13-year-olds, a boy and a girl, in Kessena Park in Queens holding a machete. He forced the children into a secluded area, took their phones, and bound and gagged them with their shoelaces and a bandana. He cut the girl’s pants and underwear off using the machete and then brutally raped her. For good measure, he robbed them both and ran off.

Later, diligent Queens residents recognized Inga-Landi from police descriptions (mostly his distinctive boar tattoo), and they “subdued him,” over and over, until police arrived. And until he urinated bloody foam.

Inga-Landi snuck into America in 2021. Texas authorities promptly arrested him as a border-jumper, but Biden officials forced Texas to free Inga-Landi. In 2022, after another arrest, an immigration judge ordered Inga-Landi to leave the country. But the Ecuadoran was paroled by the Biden team, under a program for people fleeing political persecution.

The only persecution Inga-Landi was fleeing was an Ecuadoran jail boyfriend.

Kamala Harris was literally put in charge of securing the border. It was her only job. Joe Biden anointed her as “Border Czar.” (Czars being the one type of Russians that Democrats do like.) But the Democrats are literally flying serial rapists into the country on private planes from third-world hellholes and sprinkling them like criminal fairy dust all over the country.

Four years ago, single young American women could safely jog, bike, or hike by themselves, even at night or in the early morning. But now, they have a fresh new horror to worry about: mobile rape dungeons.

The prospect of the election has been the only thing holding Democrats back from opening the border and flying in even more serial killers and rapists. If Harris is elected, count on this terrifying trend multiplying beyond measure. Single young women have a lot more to worry about than barriers to accessing abortion, which is a problem they can control much more easily than the mushrooming, unmanageable risk of getting jacked in the mall parking lot.

Democrats cannot keep young women safe. Democrats don’t even want to do that.

Small midwestern town 'overwhelmed' by 3,000 African migrants living tax-free

A tiny Ohio town is wrangling with a sudden influx of African refugees whose arrival has almost doubled the population over the past year.

Close to Cincinnati, Lockland was home to 3,500 people in 2023, but local officials say it has since taken in more than 3,000 legal Mauritanian asylum seekers.

'If you look at 2021, 2022, the United States had seen a huge influx of immigrants from Mauritania,' Lockland Village Administrator Doug Wehmeyer told Fox News Digital.

'Somehow, a good number of them have landed in Lockland.'

TikTok is partly to blame for the sudden deluge. Mauritanians are finding their way to the town via a route posted on the app which flows from the Northwest African nation to Turkey, before looping through South America to the US.

The Tennessee Attorney General’s Office announced that efforts by the governor and other state lawmakers were successful and ultimately stopped a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) plan to release illegal immigrants, including convicted criminals, into the state.

State Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti announced Wednesday that after a lawsuit was filed by the AG’s office, ICE was forced to produce previously undisclosed information about the agency’s planned release of thousands of detained migrants, including convicted criminals. ...

The findings originate from a 2022 discovery by the governor’s office when it learned that ICE had been coordinating with local immigration-rights groups and Nashville officials to release large numbers of detainees into the state before the anticipated termination of the federal government’s Title 42 public health order. ...

The office said that the information further revealed that although ICE abandoned its failed plan for the mass release of detainees into Tennessee, the agency still released over 7,000 detainees directly from its Louisiana sites at that time, including more than 30 who were assigned ICE’s highest security-threat level.

According to the records, released detainees also had criminal records that included murder, sexual assault, aggravated assault with a weapon, armed robbery, kidnapping, smuggling aliens, drug trafficking, burglary and fraud.

The Alabama cities of Albertville and Enterprise have also seen an increase in migrant workers coming to their area. As locals seek answers about the migrants’ legal status, city officials have shifted the blame to the Biden-Harris administration.

“We are aware that Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas’ program allows refugees from Haiti to be placed in our community,” Enterprise Mayor William Cooper said last month. “It is unfortunate that we as a city were given no advanced notice nor additional resources to accommodate this influx.”

Illegal migrant arrested for allegedly raping 5-year-old girl on Long Island: cops
By Steven Vago and Emily Crane
Published Nov. 1, 2024

An illegal migrant who skipped an immigration hearing after being cut loose at the US-Mexico border has been arrested for allegedly raping a 5-year-old girl on Long Island – and cops believe he may have more victims, officials said Friday.

Honduras national Wilson Castillo Diaz, 27, is accused of attacking the girl in Westbury last month, according to Nassau County cops.

President Donald Trump has confirmed he plans to make good on his promise to enact mass deportations of America’s massive illegal alien population.

Speaking with NBC News, Trump said he was faced with “no choice” but to start deporting the over 10 million illegal aliens who have entered the country since the Biden regime stole the 2020 presidential election and seized the White House.

More surprising progress. New York City may be waking from its long migrant-fueld nightmare. Yesterday, the UK Daily Mail ran a story headlined, “NYC to stop giving migrants FREE pre-paid cards worth $18,500 a year.” It seems so simple: Cut off the magnets, and the migrants will be pulled elsewhere.




The Daily Mail did not connect this dot, but I wonder how much New York’s newfound budgetary wisdom has to do with its rational expectation the Trump Administration will soon cut off the federal money spigot.

Plus, Mayor Adams has at times shown sparks of resistance to the Biden migrant scheme, and is under DOJ investigation. Maybe Mayor Adams’s legal problems may soon get some much-needed clarity.

In another exciting development, yesterday the Daily Mail ran another terrific immigration story headlined, “Judge slashes Biden administration policy for undocumented immigrants.”

Yesterday, a U.S. District Court in Texas struck down one of Biden’s most liberal immigration schemes. The so-called 'Keeping Families Together' program allowed illegal spouses and stepchildren of U.S. citizens to apply for a green card without first having to leave the country, creating a greased naturalization skid.

But federal judge Campbell Barker, a Trump appointee, ruled yesterday that the Biden Administration overstepped its authority and stretched the legal interpretation of relevant immigration law “past its breaking point.” No dice.

Progress.
