Quote: Biden Blackmail Intensifies: Won't Shut Border Until Congress Coughs Up Ukraine, Israel Funds Sunday, Jan 28, 2024 - 06:55 AM As Republican governors circle the wagon around Texas, President Biden on Saturday doubled down on a reluctant agreement to secure the southern US border - but only if Congress passes a bipartisan bill that would also allocate funds for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, and would still allow as many as 150,000 illegal crossings per month. "If that bill were the law today I'd shut down the border right now and fix it quickly and bring a bipartisan bill that would be good for America and help fix our broken immigration system and allow speedy access for those who deserve to be here," Biden said, according to Fox News' Chad Pergram. Except, as many have pointed out, Biden doesn't need Congress, or the bill, to do that right now. As we noted yesterday, House Speaker Mike Johnson debunked the claim, saying "President Biden falsely claimed yesterday he needs Congress to pass a new law to allow him to close the southern border, but he knows that is untrue."

Quote:Colorado’s capital has joined the evergrowing list of cities that have become overwhelmed by the influx of migrants — with over 38,000 asylum seekers arriving in Denver in the past year. The Mile-High City has struggled to accommodate the new arrivals who have inundated city shelters and hospitals, prompting state officials to enact a limit on how long migrants can stay in state-funded rooms starting Feb. 5. The city initially paused the discharge of migrant families from shelters on Nov. 17 to assist the increasing number of new arrivals. However, after seeing a dramatic uptick, the city is now housing 4,500 migrants and will resume discharging migrant families. Denver’s Deputy Director of Communications Jose Salas told The Post the city will extend “its previous length-of-stay policy for families from 37 days to 42 days.”
Quote:A Venezuelan family told NBC News that they just received notice from the city that they will be evicted from the hotel where they have been living. “Just yesterday they started throwing away the toys, the bicycles in the common area,” the mother of three girls said. “We don’t know where we will go next.”
Quote:Denver Mayor Mike Johnson says that current projections indicate the city may have to cut as much as $180 million from its annual budget to accommodate the surplus population.

Quote: 75% Of House Democrats Voted Against Deporting Criminal Migrants Who Commit Social Security Fraud Democrats talk a big game about 'Republican attacks on Social Security,' but 75% of House Dems just voted against deporting migrants who commit Social Security fraud. Introduced by Rep. Tom McClintock (R-CA) in December, H.R. 6678 passed with 172 "yea" votes, and 155 "nay" votes - all Democrats, with 55 of them voting with the Republicans. As former Trump adviser and head of the America First Legal Foundation Stephen Miller posted on X, "155 HOUSE DEMOCRATS — 75% OF THEIR CONFERENCE — JUST VOTED AGAINST DEPORTING CRIMINAL MIGRANTS WHO COMMIT SOCIAL SECURITY FRAUD AND ROB OUR SENIORS." "They’d rather protect illegal aliens than our seniors," said the House Judiciary Committee in a Thursday post on X. Meanwhile, 150 Democrats also voted against legislation that would quickly deport illegal aliens who drive drunk. "I am appalled to see a majority of Democrats in the House of Representatives voting to prevent illegal aliens who endanger the lives of American citizens by drunk driving from being deported. Americans deserve leaders who put their safety and prosperity first," said Rep. August Pfluger (R-TX). According to OA Online, "H.R. 6976, the Protect Our Communities from DUIs Act, introduced by Rep. Barry Moore (R-AL), closes a gaping loophole in U.S. immigration law related to drunk driving. Because there is neither a ground of inadmissibility nor a ground of removability explicitly related to driving under the influence (DUI) of alcohol or drugs, criminal aliens currently can escape accountability for their reckless actions and be free to re-offend and endanger communities. By creating a ground of inadmissibility and a ground of removability for aliens who have committed DUI offenses, this legislation provides long-awaited and much-needed reforms to safeguard American communities." According to Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), the bill would create a "separate but unequal" system of justice for immigrants.

Quote:BILL MAHER: This election, my guess, will probably turn on something like, I don't know if you saw this but yesterday in New York City some illegal immigrants who were brought to the city attacked a bunch of cops. I think we have video of it. This is real. That's what's going to happen this election. It's only in 8 states. Most of the country has their mind made up. No matter what either guy did it wouldn't change. It's going to be something like this that, whatever, the 4% of people who are actually undecided in those 8 states. They're going to see something like this. This is what I worry about. Is this even real? I mean, this one is. But we have, please, we have Biden making robocalls that are not Joe Biden. We have Taylor Swift having sex with people, and it's not Taylor Swift. I don't think anything in this election could be certified as real. But that's what worries me about this election. Something like that, and that's an immigration issue. [Illegal] immigration is real but their reaction to it is not real. It's all a bunch of acting. They should be getting some kind of award this award season. No, really. The Republicans act like they want to solve this but the Democrats called their bluff. There is a bill right now that a lot of them, Mitch McConnell, a pretty conservative Senator, saying this is as good of a deal that you are going to get. They don't want it because they don't want this issue to be solved because they can use it as an issue so you can make speeches like the one you just made about "working class" and blah, blah, blah. If they solve the immigration -- [LAUGHTER] Well, it's better than what Trump does. [LAUGHTER] ... I was going to say that part two of the acting is Joe Biden saying you know what if you just give me a new law -- a new law? Why doesn't -- the president can fix this. He already has the existing laws. "I need a piece of paper from Congress to deal with the border." No, you already have that.

Quote:Last weekend, video cameras posted in Times Square captured a scene that has sparked outrage across the city. While struggling to arrest a resisting suspect, two NYPD officers were viciously attacked by at least six other men—all migrants, recently arrived in our “sanctuary city.” They all got away. Not long afterward, police made seven arrests related to the incident, on charges that included assault and robbery (according to reports, one of the officers’ cell phone was stolen during the fight). Adding insult to injury, at least four of the seven attackers have already been released. The attack and the subsequent release of the alleged perpetrators may shock the consciences of many New Yorkers, but anyone surprised by this hasn’t been paying attention.

Quote:JOHN MILLER: These individuals, I went over their rap sheets yesterday, multiple charges, grand larceny, robbery, attempted robbery, grand larceny, and larcency. This particular crew worked on mopeds and scooters, they were doing organized retail theft, snatches on the street, iPhones, iPads, clothing, so on and so forth. One they are still seeking has ten charges on one day because he's part of a pattern that's been going on. I'm looking at the dates their arrests started, which is probably close to when they got here. They've only been here a couple of months. So what the detectives are telling me is, they have crews here that operate in New York, do all their stealing, then go to Florida to spend the money and come back. I’m like, 'Why don’t they just stay and steal in Florida?' They said, 'Because there you go to jail.'"

Quote:Representative Veronica Escobar, who has a prominent role in Joe Biden's reelection bid, said the president and the Democratic Party made a critical "mistake" by ignoring the border crisis. Escobar, a Texas Democrat whom Biden tapped in April to be a national co-chair of his campaign, admitted she's been frustrated with her party's response to the surge of migrants at the southern border. "I'll be very candid," she told Politico's Deep Dive podcast on Friday. "I wish the Democratic Party, the president included, had leaned in on this issue early on. It's what I advocated—when we were in the majority, we should lean in and we should explain to the American people how difficult this is and how multifaceted the solution has to be." She continued, "But nobody wanted to talk about it. And I think that was a strategic mistake on the part of my party."

Quote: Denver Starts Booting Migrants From Shelters As City Nears 'Breaking Point' Sunday, Feb 04, 2024 - 01:55 PM Denver, Colorado is reaching a breaking point as migrant arrivals continue to overwhelm the self-proclaimed sanctuary city. As a result, Mayor Mike Johnston (D) suggested that the city may stop accepting more, while officials begin the process of booting them from overcrowded shelters. DENVER, CO – JANUARY 13 : A migrant lie on the sleeping pad at a makeshift shelter in Denver, Colorado on Friday, January 13, 2023. (Photo by Hyoung Chang/The Denver Post) "I think our city is very close to its breaking point now," he told Fox & Friends last week. And we’ve been talking to leaders in D.C. around the country about why we need them to take action here. I think we have successfully welcomed almost 40,000 migrants in the last year and — and we know what it takes to do this successfully, we just need that help." Last year the city helped over 38,000 migrants. As of Friday night, 3,895 were staying in city shelters. "That’s an incredible number of people to shelter, support, feed, help with transportation, deal with case management," said Jon Ewing of Denver Human Services. According to Johnston, more needs to be done to address the influx of migrants at the southern US border. "And the things we need are — yes, we need federal dollars, but the most important thing is we need, you know, work authorization for folks when they arrive, and we need those resources at the border so you can add more security at the border and so you can help process those asylum claims so the folks that do arrive here can work," he said. Perhaps preventing them from entering the country in the first place is the way to go, Mike? On Friday, Johnson told KOA news that the city is exploring options to pause taking in more people. "We are considering it. We have to consider all options, particularly if there isn’t any help from the federal government," he said. Denver is clearing out migrant shelters According to Fox31, Denver is clearing out shelters used by the migrants. Starting on Monday, 150 migrants in city shelters will be discharged. Then that number will fluctuate between 50-100 every day until all 3,800 are out of the 10 shelters currently run by the city. “The hope and goal is that we are able to connect the vast majority with housing, or at least as many of them as we possibly can,” Ewing said. The number of migrants arriving in Denver is coming down — 48 arrived on Thursday and 64 on Friday, a significant drop from the beginning of January, when that number was 200-300 daily. -Fox31 "4,000 people when you have limited budget, when you have limited resources … very difficult to find enough housing as is, affordable housing as is, in the city of Denver — that’s going to be difficult," said Ewing. Denver is one of several Democratic strongholds across the United States which pledged maximum virtue by signaling themselves as sanctuary cities - only to be completely unprepared for the surge of migrants that followed the Biden administration's open invitation to them on day one. New York is facing a similar overload, as Mayor Eric Adams (D) has repeatedly called on the Biden administration to lend a hand in dealing with the migrants. The Big Apple has seen a surge of more than 160,000 asylum seekers since last year.

Quote:Originally posted by second: What's in the Senate's border agreement? It would also create a new, voluntary program for migrants to fly back to their home countries on commercial airlines paid for by the U.S. government. Perhaps the most controversial element of the bill is a three-year policy to shut down the processing of asylum applications from people who crossed illegally if the number of expulsions and apprehensions of migrants reaches a week-long average of 4,000. It would create a mandated shutdown after a week-long average of 5,000 or more. During the time the border is shut down, migrants caught crossing illegally would be immediately deported. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2024/02/04/congress-border-security-ukraine-israel-gop-democrats-border/72400853007/ The Joss Whedon script for Serenity, where Wash lives, is Serenity-190pages.pdf at https://www.mediafire.com/folder/1uwh75oa407q8/Firefly

Quote:In 2019, I traveled with a bipartisan delegation of American mayors to the border flashpoint of Tornillo, Texas, just outside of El Paso. There, the U.S. government had set up a tent city, which looked strangely like a detention camp. Migrant children, disconnected from their families, were the inhabitants. Temperatures were scorching and our concerns growing, but our access to the facility was denied. We could only imagine from a distance what those kids were going through. It felt un-American. On that day five years ago, I couldn’t have imagined the Texas state government actually choosing to make the crisis even worse by busing migrants to Northern cities. We have no proof this has discouraged undocumented individuals from crossing the border. Meanwhile tens of thousands more migrants continue to make the perilous journey. Since August of 2022, Texas has bused over 33,000 migrants to New York City. The actions of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott have hurt my beloved city by radically overtaxing our municipal resources and undermining our ability to serve the almost 9 million people already living here. His actions have directly cost New York City $708 million, according to Mayor Eric Adams, money that is desperately needed to strengthen our schools and community safety efforts. New York residents live in constant fear that critical services like policing, sanitation and libraries will face severe reductions as a result of the migrant crisis, a fear Abbott has exploited. But this problem is bigger than New York. One state government purposely penalizing the people of other states is un-American. So much for “e pluribus unum.”
