If we're gaining $7 trillion from the illegals

A manhunt is underway in New York City after a teenage illegal alien shot a woman in Times Square before opening fire on police officers.

The gunman shot a woman at a Times Square clothing store.

The shooter was identified as an illegal migrant who remains on the loose, authorities said.

The gunman has been named as 15-year-old Jose Alejandro Rivas Figueroa.

Figueroa is a Venezuelan national who entered the United States illegally by crossing the open Southern Border from Mexico.

He was living in a temporary shelter that is paid for by NYC taxpayers, NYPD Chief of Patrol John Chell revealed.

A number of outlets including CBS reported that — because of Republicans! — the city of Denver is beginning to cut real municipal services in order to support a burgeoning population of illegal migrants in the Mile-High City. (But that does NOT mean we have a border problem, don’t be ridiculous. We have a funding problem.) The new cuts come on the one month anniversary of Denver cutting all city budgets by 10%, across-the-board, back on January 9th. ...

Mayor Johnston really couldn’t stress this enough — although he tried his hardest — it is the Republicans’ fault, for not federally funding the illegal border jumpers’ care by sending Denver a lot of other cities’ taxpayer dollars.

Mayor Johnston then smuggled his two main points across his presentation’s border, carefully concealed in a basket of bureaucratic buzzwords. First, cuts to long-standing city programs like parks and the DMV require a shared sacrifice. Second, the cuts will be equitable.

What Mayor Johnston was trying to say is the sacrifice will be shared equitably, meaning unevenly. The city plans to mainly cut services to passengers in coach class, meaning taxpayers, before the shared sacrifices equitably reach any citizens who ride Denver in First Class which, for now at least, includes illegal immigrants. ...

Democrats voted for Denver to become a sanctuary city in 2017, right after — did Mayor Johnston already mention this? — those wily Republicans somehow tricked them into doing it. But as far as I can tell, unlike New York, Denver has no ‘right to shelter’ law for illegals.

Over the past year, Denver has welcomed with open arms over 40,000 border jumpers, which in military terms is about twelve brigades or forty battalions. Just saying.

More than anything, the video — and O’Keefe’s previous ones in the same series — leaves us with two overriding impressions. First, these so-called “charity workers” are obsessed with secrecy. One lady in this clip explicitly said, “we are all paranoid,” and admitted she only wears her covid face mask “when the white people show up, so they won’t take my picture.”

What are they hiding from the white people?

The second, secure impression one gets watching these clips is that the U.S. government is dumping billions of dollars into the cartels. Quite obviously, the pallets of cash attracting all these shady groups to help border jumpers jump the border are being washed through federal grants, probably through HHS or Homeland Security.

Take a close look at the ‘facility’ shown in O’Keefe’s video. Does that look like something a US-based charity group set up? Or does it look more like something thrown together by a Mexican cartel?

I’m going with cartel. Give me one reason why I shouldn’t conclude the cartels are creating front groups to grab all the federal grant money by relocating illegals into America.

This is the problem with big government. There’s too much power routed through one bottleneck, and too few effective checks and balances. All our enemies had to do was capture the decision maker.

An Amazon delivery driver has been charged by New York City police after he was forced to defend himself during a lewd attack from a drunk, naked illegal alien who tried to steal packages from his van.

The drunk foreign criminal reportedly exposed himself and tried to rob the worker, according to police and the New York Post.

The worker, who identified himself as Abu to the Post, said he was making a delivery in Clinton Hill in Brooklyn at around 4:45 p.m. on Sunday.

He said he noticed the illegal border crosser clutching a beer bottle and masturbating on the street.

The incident took place near 9 Hall Street, a taxpayer-funded shelter where the 26-year-old migrant, identified as Yeison Sanchez, lives, police said.

Abu said he told Sanchez to stop what he was doing, and that was when the situation started to escalate.

The confrontation resulted in the Amazon worker hitting the migrant in the head with an icy snowball.

“I was unloading my stuff, and a guy – he was like a pervert, he had his penis out,” Abu told the Post on Monday.

“He’s in the corner of the street j—ing off and I told him, ‘Hey, what are you doing?’

“And he went into my van where all my mail and everything was at, and I pushed him away, and he ran towards me like he was going to aggressively hit me.”

Abu said he then picked up a piece of ice from the ground and used it to hit the flashing illegal alien in order to protect himself.

“I picked up a piece and I socked him with it and he went down on his butt,” said Abu.

Abu said he then spotted police nearby and called on them to help him.

However, while the police responded to the scene, Abu said he ended up being charged with third-degree assault.

He said he was later released on a desk appearance ticket, the Post reported.

Police claim Sanchez was left with swelling and bruising on his face.

“[Sanchez] was telling [the police] in Spanish that I punched him in the face,” Abu told the Post.

“I told them there’s cameras around, you can probably find something.

“They said there were no cameras.

“After a while, it turned into a ‘He said, she said’ thing and that’s how it went.”

The NYPD confirmed the charge against the Amazon worker in a statement.

Just give me ten more Attorneys General like Ken Paxton, and I’ll turn this whole thing around. Fox News ran an exciting and encouraging story yesterday headlined, “Texas AG Paxton sues NGO aiding migrants, accuses it of encouraging illegal immigration.” Finally.

The so-called “Annunciation House” is a shady migrant-assistance NGO claiming to follow a poorly-defined ideology called “Catholic social justice.” I’ll go out on a limb and guess that “Catholic social justice” looks exactly the same as regular social justice. You can search the group’s shake-and-bake website all you want, but you won’t find the name of a single real person anywhere, which is the very first red flag that a “charity” is actually a front for something illegal, unethical, or at least shameful.

Legit charities are proudly run by people, and they don’t hide. Instead, they proudly name their directors, boards, volunteers, and major donors. Whereas shady front groups usually have polished-up websites with zero personally-identifying information on them. They are ashamed, or they should be.

Yesterday, Attorney General Paxton sued the so-called charity for human trafficking conspiracy. He promptly demanded documents, asked the court to revoke Annunciation’s state charter, and asked for a receiver to liquidate its assets. And what do you know, a bunch of lawyers and PR people suddenly popped up defending the ‘volunteer’ group.

One wonders how the hardworking, religious-minded Annunciation volunteers knew all these legal and marketing professionals ready to jump in at a moment’s notice. But I digress.

In a statement about Paxton’s suit on its website, Annunciation House gamely vowed it would resist turning over documents! Never! And it promised a press conference on Friday. And, in yet another red flag, it bragged it "does its work of accompaniment out of the Gospel mandate to welcome the stranger."

Haha, “mandate.” Marxists sure love that word, don’t they?

That phrase, the Gospel mandate to welcome the stranger, is all over Annunciation’s website. But you know what isn’t all over the “Catholic” charity’s website? Any Bible verses or even any Bible citations. It’s almost like the person who created the website knows nothing at all about the Bible except the word “Gospel.”

They were hardly even trying. Chalk up another red flag this NGO is really a shady front group and not a legitimate Christian enterprise.

Paxton issued his own statement, deploying the catchy phrase ‘astonishing horrors’ to describe the so-called charity group’s unethical and illegal activities:

"The chaos at the southern border has created an environment where NGOs, funded with taxpayer money from the Biden Administration, facilitate astonishing horrors including human smuggling," Paxton said in a statement. "While the federal government perpetuates the lawlessness destroying this country, my office works day in and day out to hold these organizations responsible for worsening illegal immigration."
Music to my ears. This has been a long time coming. The Biden Administration is dumping cash on all these NGO’s to do things that would be illegal for Biden to do. It’s a similar tactic to how the feds bribed and cajoled the social media companies to censor Americans, because it was illegal and unconstitutional to do it directly.

Hopefully Paxton’s lawsuit will set an example for other states to follow. Let’s drag more of these cockroaches out into the harsh daylight and find out what — and who — we are really dealing with.

The Hill ran a very encouraging elections story on Wednesday headlined, “Appeals court rules NYC law allowing noncitizens to vote in local elections violates state constitution.” Ruh-roh! If they can’t even vote, now what is New York supposed to do with all those extra migrants?

Bless the diligent plaintiffs, including state representative Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY), who challenged “Local Law No. 11 of the City of New York, which created a new class of voters eligible to vote in municipal elections who are not United States citizens.”

Appeal Court Justice Paul Wooten struck down the insane law, writing that, “We determine that this local law was enacted in violation of the New York State Constitution and Municipal Home Rule Law, and thus, must be declared null and void.”

The goofy, irrational 2022 law, supported by New York City Mayor Eric Adams, also lost at the trial court level. The City appealed that earlier decision, and has now lost again. Back in 2022, the Associated Press estimated Local Law 11 would create over eight hundred thousand new non-citizen voters.

Who knows how high that number has now climbed?

The Hill reported the City is carefully considering its next move. In other words, despite crying in public about all the illegal migrants infesting the City, behind the scenes it is doing everything it can think of to turn them into low-information voters.
