With utter chaos on the border, and the Biden Administration’s attempt to ram through an omnibus immigration/foreign aid bill, designed to waste billions of dollars more by funding the Ukraine war, while providing Corrupt Demented Imbecile Joe Biden with cover for the border fiasco he created, this week’s offering will be on the subject of asylum.  More specifically, who or what groups are in need of asylum.  We’ll start by defining terms.  Like many words, the word “asylum” has different meanings.  Definition One is “government protection given to people who have been forced to leave their own countries for their safety or because of war.”  This is the type of asylum that’s currently in the news.  I’ll use it in a sentence:  Joe Biden has admitted more than 10 million illegal aliens, many of whom pretend to be seeking asylum.  An equally valid definition of asylum is Definition Two – “a hospital for people with mental illnesses,” a/k/a a lunatic asylum.  I’ll use this one in a sentence:  Any elected official who supports what Joe Biden has done to our border, or who votes for the Senate’s proposed Emergency National Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, belongs in an lunatic asylum.  One useful rule of thumb for evaluating Congressional acts is to assume that the real purpose is not what its title suggests.  A New Jersey appellate court decision I’m fond of once explained that title of a law doesn’t control the plain words of a statute.  “Like the inscription on a tombstone, it serves only to indicate what lies below.”  The Senate bill is no exception.  It does nothing to enhance national security, quite the opposite.  The bill is supposed to cost us $118 billion.  All that money should help the Border Patrol, right?  Wrong!  First of all the so-called border control part of the bill is only $20 billion.  $60 billion goes to Ukraine, to replenish Ukranian Swiss bank accounts.  Israel would get $14 billion.  And whatever the $20 billion in border money is intended to do, it won’t secure our border.  Without this “bipartisan deal,” Biden has let 10 million illegal invaders into the country, then turned them loose.  In 2023 alone, more than 3 million were admitted.  Asylum seekers right?  Well, some claim they are, but it’s time for facts.  To get asylum one must be a refugee, that is, a person:  of special humanitarian concern to the United States; who demonstrates they were persecuted or fear persecution due to race, religion, nationality, etc.; who is not firmly resettled in another country; and is admissible to the United States.  Over 75 % of asylum seekers don’t qualify, but that’s moot today, because Biden is letting millions loose, without knowing whether they’re even admissible, overlooking little things like being terrorists, convicted felons, or carriers of communicable diseases.  Simply put, Biden has admitted millions of invaders, some of whom commit crimes.  Last week 7 invaders beat up 2 NY cops.  They were immediately released from jail, and they showed their gratitude –

And Biden wants to keep letting them in.  Due to the court backlogs, alleged asylum seekers are given court dates 6 or 7 years in the future.  Because we have no idea where they are now, much less in 2030, the odds they will appear in court are practically nil.  It’s all a sick joke on the American citizen who has been relegated to second-class status by Joe Biden.  But the bill fixes all this right?  Wrong!  The bill that Sleepy Joe and the detestable Chuck Schumer claim will secure the border and is needed to provide the President with the power to act, is just another Washington boondoggle.  Ever wonder why funding for Ukraine and Israel is in a border security bill?  It’s what’s called “poison pill legislation.”  You take things that a majority of the Congress want, and package them with things that would never pass if presented by themselves.  You want to help Ukraine and Israel?  Then you have to swallow the poison, or else you get nothing.  The poison in this bill is in the border provisions.  First, Biden needs no legislation to secure the border.  Existing law authorizes the President “to suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens” whose entry he “finds … would be detrimental to the interests of the United States.”  President Trump used this provision to secure the border without Congressional action.  The Supreme Court ruled he had the authority to do so.  On his first day in office, Biden cancelled 89 Trump border directives, and the illegals poured in.  The idea that Biden needs new authority is a lie, what he needs is a pair of balls and the will to do his duty.  He lacks both.  And forget the bullshit stories about how the flood of migrants will be controlled.  Without the bill 3 million invaders in one year right?  Here’s the proposed “fix.”  If the number of invaders exceeds 5,000 a day over a seven day period, Homeland Security would shut the border – “temporarily.”  In 2018, we were told 1,000 a day was a humanitarian crisis.  Now we’re going to legislate a 500% percent greater crisis, and call it a fix?  Plus, who decides if the 5,000 invader limit has been reached?  Mayorkas?  And a “temporary shutdown” could be 8 hours, enough time to replenish the Obama-phones and Target gift cards.  In a word, this is bullshit.  The flood will continue.  What this bill really is, is a can’t lose proposition for Democrats.  If it passes, Democrats get to maintain the flood of invaders, while pissing more money down the Ukrainian rathole, and at the same time telling voters they “fixed” the border mess.  If it fails to pass, Democrats get to try to blame the entire border fiasco on Republicans – “Oh, if only Republicans had voted for the bill, all would have been well; instead they did the bidding of Evil Orange Man.”  And millions will believe this shit.  As this is written, more than 20 Senate Republicans are opposing the bill, and it appears dead -for now.  A Monday Republican conference on the bill led to angry shouting.  House Speaker Johnson has already pronounced the bill “dead on arrival in that Chamber,  “I’ve seen enough.  This bill is even worse than we expected, and won’t come close to ending the border catastrophe the President has created.  As the lead Democrat negotiator proclaimed: Under this legislation, the border never closes.”  Progressive lunatics don’t like it because it doesn’t legalize the Dreamers.  They should take that up with Chuck Schumer, who turned down President Trump’s 2018 offer to legalize 1.6 million Dreamers, in return for real border security.  Sleepy Joe already has said this all or nothing, promising to veto any bill that includes only funds for Israel, without the Ukraine and border boondoggles.  Have it your way Joe, I’ll settle for nothing.  Republican Senators who were planning to support this mess are hearing it from angry voters, and even the bill’s sponsor, Jim Lankford, has suggested he may vote against it.  Maybe he’s having a lucid interval.  Anybody who supports this insult qualifies for asylum, under Definition Number Two.  They should be institutionalized immediately.

Ever wonder just how the Left can get away with destroying 248 years of American culture, our form of government, our achievements, our national security, and our personal freedoms, and still make a large segment of our society believe that it’s the fault of capitalism, Republicans, Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, or anyone other than themselves?  I finally figured it out.  It’s magic.  All magic is, when you boil it down, is sleight of hand – misdirection.  The magician gets you to look this way, while he’s doing something else you don’t notice.  There’s another apt analogy.  Just for the record, we  should avoid memes comparing Democrats to the devil at all costs.  So here’s another one.  Remember the Al Pacino movie, The Devil’s Advocate?   In it, Pacino plays John Milton, a/k/a Satan.  Milton tells his son, “Guilt – it’s like a bag of f***in’ bricks.  All you gotta do is set it down….Who are you carrying all those bricks for anyway?  God?  Is that it? God?  Well, I tell ya, let me give you a little inside information about God.  God likes to watch.  He’s a prankster.  Think about it.  He gives man instincts.  He gives you this extraordinary gift, and then what does He do?  I swear, for His own amusement, His own private cosmic gag reel, He sets the rules in opposition.  It’s the goof of all time.  Look, but don’t touch. Touch, but don’t taste.  Taste, don’t swallow.  And while you’re jumpin’ from one foot to the next, what is He doin’? He’s laughin’ His sick, f***in’ ass off.”  It’s all part of the magic trick.  Distract the people from what you’re really up to.  Although they’re doing nothing wrong, make them feel guilty.  One more analogy.  Last one.  I promise.  In Chicago, shyster lawyer Billy Flynn sings Razzle Dazzle, “Give ’em the old three ring circus, stun and stagger ’em.  When you’re in trouble, go into your dance.  Though you are stiffer than a girder, they let ya get away with a murder.”  Where am I going with this?  I’ll tell you.  Speech codes.  The Word Police.  The people who never tire of insisting that you must conform your language to their arbitrary and nonsensical standards.  The people who would gladly cancel, draw and quarter you for dropping an errant pronoun.  You know, Leftist morons.  I’ve dealt with this issue before on these pages, in Freedom of Suppress (7/2/21, see the archive below).  That article dealt with the speech code of Brandeis University, which was ironic and tragic because Louis Brandeis was a champion of free speech.  The university was pushing a speech code, which compiled an Oppressive Language List, that declared words such as “picnic” unacceptable, for being associated with lynchings of Black people.  Brandeis suggested “outdoor eating” instead.  “Off the reservation” was disapproved, in favor of “disagree with the group.”  It might trigger Native Americans.  Then again, “trigger warning” was also taboo, because the word “trigger” might be connected to guns.  For the record, it’s alright to be triggered, so long as you don’t say “trigger.” Clear?  The words “you guys,” “ladies and gentlemen,” or even “she” or “he,” were disapproved for suggesting that there are only two genders.  Brandeis preferred words such as “Y’all,” “folks” or “folx” (which isn’t even a real word).  But why dwell on vocabulary?  When you’re righting imaginary wrongs, only an imaginary word will do.  What got me off on this kick?  They’re at it again, but this time even stupider.  Something called the European Union’s Institute for Gender Equality is now attacking, as one of its highest priorities, wait for it – the 58 year old opening theme to the TV series Star Trek.  I shit you not.  We all remember the opening –

“Space:  the final frontier.  These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise.  Its 5-year mission:  to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no Man has gone before.” 

No, it’s not the split infinitive that’s the crime here, it’s that offensive word.  Dare I say it?  No, it’s too painful!  Okay, okay, it’s the word “Man” that has the EU’s speech police agency’s knickers in a twist.  Their 61-page toolkit on gender-sensitive communication has flagged Star Trek for one of the most egregious speech crimes ever conceived in the mind of a loony Leftist, insufficient inclusivity.  They claim the word “Man” in the opening omits or excludes women, which is not only dumb, but also indisputably wrong.  The reference to “Man” had nothing to do with gender, but instead was a reference to the definition of the word which means now, just as it did in 1966, “humankind.”  Plus, anyone who’s ever actually seen the series or the franchise knows that it pioneered the inclusion of women in positions of authority.  But the damage is done.  They’ve now triggered (there’s that word again) the nearly 93 year old actor who played James Tiberius Kirk all those years ago, William Shatner.  And Shatner’s not buying the bullshit.  He hit back on social media. “Presentism at work yet again.  Why start at Trek?  Isn’t it better to start at the beginning and redo foundation material such as the Magna Carta, religious writings, works of Shakespeare before worrying about a silly TV show opening that reflects social commentary of the time?  If people are offended by 6 seconds of dialogue recorded in 1966 without a modicum of understanding of the social issues at the time there’s bigger issues that they need to deal with first – like educating themselves.”  Bravo Bill.  The only good thing about getting old is being free to tell insane progressives to go shit in their hats.  The EU has a list of “good” and “bad” words, like that of Brandeis. 

BAD                                    GOOD
Bossy or pushy                  Assertive
Loose                                  Having sexual confidence
Emotional or hormonal  Passionate, enthusiastic
Ditzy                                    Silly
Frigid                                  Lacking sexual responsiveness
Frumpy                              Dowdy and old-fashioned
Shrill                                  High-pitched, grating voice
Hysterical                          Irrational
Makes sense.  What woman possibly could take offense at being called dowdy, grating, and irrational?  Give me a break.  And the Institute for Gender Equality isn’t just coming after language.  They’ve also got a paper about “energy poverty,” which decries the “gender aspects of the rising cost of living and the impact of the energy crisis.”  Huh?  When women buy gasoline and food, do they get charged more than men?  If you don’t understand this, don’t feel bad.  They don’t either.  They say energy poverty is one of the key contributors to widening inequality, “to what extent, we hardly know.”  It puts me in mind of the joke about the New York Times headline the day before the apocalypse, World Ends Tomorrow:  Women and Minorities Hardest Hit.  Which brings us back around to the original theme.  None of the supposed outrage of the Left over speech is real.  It’s a magician’s trick.  While you’re busy jumping from one foot to the other trying to find the acceptable words, they’re hard at work stealing your freedom. As for myself, I believe in speaking plainly, so I won’t take advantage of the speech code and say progressives are experiencing a modicum of intestinal distress.  They’re simply full of shit.    
  

Thus far we have had the Iowa Causcuses and the New Hampshire primary.  In both these contests the issue of illegal immigration is the leading issue for voters.  In New Hampshire, illegal immigration runs 10 points ahead of the economy for voters.  This is an amazing result, given the fact that the Biden Administration has run our economy into a ditch, with record-breaking inflation, and the highest interest rates in 40 years.  Last week I paid $8 for a jar of pickles.  If the problem on the border is a more pressing than that, then “Houston, we have a problem.”  As this is written, Corrupt Demented Imbecile Joe Biden is continuing to follow a border policy which has seen more than 10 million illegal aliens let loose in the United States.  The U.S. Border Patrol has been “fundamentally transformed” from the protectors of our border into a Welcome Wagon organization, whose job has become welcoming the invaders, ignoring the fact that these predominantly military aged males really aren’t related to the minors they’re traveling with, and providing them with food,  clothing, free phones and free transportation to the locations of their choices, while perpetuating the fiction that they’re really migrants seeking political asylum.  These invaders have been transported to previously declared “sanctuary cities” which lately have realized that having thousands of invaders sleeping on their streets isn’t a good idea.  At first, it was suggested that the decision to erase our southern border was part of a Democrat plan to inundate the southern States with replacement voters to turn the Red State’s of the South Blue, and ensure endless Democrat rule.  But, if true, as with most things Democrat, the mindless plans of the Left failed to consider the unintended consequences of their folly.  Iowa and New Hampshire are about as far from border States as one can imagine.  Therefore, the fact that the voters in these States list illegal immigration as the Number One issue motivating their votes is telling.  If Democrats thought that the impact of the alien invasion would be limited to the southern border, they miscalculated.  The Biden policy of transporting aliens all over the map, coupled with the efforts of States like Texas, which have been shipping aliens by bus to cities like New York and Chicago, have transformed virtually every State into a border State, and the results have not benefited the Democrats.  In Chicago, loyal Democrat voters, many of them minorities, are incensed with the Biden Administration policies.  A recent poll in New York of all places found that Hispanic voters in New York favor Trump over Biden by 3 points.  That spells trouble for Sleepy Joe.  A bitter court battle is going on in Texas.  Our Constitution guarantees that the federal government shall protect the States from invasion. The arrival of up to 14,000 illegal aliens a day in Texas is nothing less than an invasion.  Yet the Biden Administration, instead of protecting Texas from invasion, is encouraging and giving aid and comfort to the invading armies.  Texas took action.  The State placed razor wire along the border and took over control of the park in Eagle Pass, which has been the most frequent entry point of the invaders.  The Biden Administration sued Texas to get the razor wire removed.  A federal District Judge ordered Texas to remove the barriers.  The federal Circuit Court ruled that Texas could keep the barriers in place.  This week, the Supreme Court voted 5 to 4  that the barriers could be cut away by the Border Patrol, pending litigation on the lawsuit.  Many conservatives have blasted Justice Coney-Barrett and Chief Justice Roberts for voting with the liberal Justices on this issue.  I don’t like the decision either, but keep in mind that this is a preliminary ruling.  The case still needs to be tried.  And like it or not, the Constitution gives the federal government the responsibility for governing immigration, and the Supreme Court is supposed to presume that the Legislature and the Executive will diligently carry out their responsibilities.  Our eyes tell us that the Legislature has failed to take action and that the Executive is actively working against the interests of American citizens.  However, given this disconnect, the Supreme Court may rightly have concluded that this glaring problem is best left to the voters in November.  The Biden Administration hasn’t learned anything from the recent polls that indicate that a large majority of voters oppose the border invasion.  Kamala Harris this week parroted the Democrat line, claiming that the immigration system is “broken.”  According to Kamala, there’s a easy fix – “Total Amnesty.”  As this is written there is an impending Senate Immigration bill which is being touted as a solution to the immigration problem.  The fact that the proponents of this “deal” have, so far, refused to disclose its details has prompted many to suspect that this “deal” is just another globalist giveaway designed to legalize millions of invaders to provide cheap labor.  Time will tell.  But one more take away from the New Hampshire primary.  New Hampshire permits unaffiliated voters to vote in either primary.  MSNBC reported that more than half the voters in the Republican primary were not Republicans, but were “unaffiliated.”  Trump won by 10 points anyway.  And what about Nikki Haley?  CNN reports that 70% of her votes came from non-Republicans, and only 27% from Republicans.  By contrast, Trump got 70% of Republicans and 27% of the others.  Regardless, Nikki Haley still thinks she won.  It must be the new math.

Andrew Wilkow is a radio talk show host who’s featured on the Sirius/XM Patriot Channel.  For a number of years, he’s been warning his listeners that the Left is planning to change local zoning laws to eliminate single-family housing, in favor of large apartment complexes.  This plan is designed to continue to eat away at our personal freedoms in order to advance several goals of the Left.  First, they believe that single-family home ownership is unfair and racist.  If I have a single-family home and you don’t, where’s the equity?  And it’s racist, well, because they say anything they don’t like is racist.  In addition, this is part of the idiotic climate change agenda.  Apparently, having people crushed together in giant apartment buildings is better for the environment than single-family homes, and packing them in makes it easier to take away our personal vehicles, in favor of mass transit.  Overriding local zoning regulations isn’t a new concept.  Il Duce Obama starting talking about it when he was in the White House.  Local zoning laws were bad because some vile localities actually impose limits on building and minimum lot size requirements.  And since deserving welfare recipients, most minorities, and those they like to call “working people” can’t afford homes on two acre lots, it was unfair, and OK, sing along with me …  racist.  This argument was bullshit back then, just as it’s bullshit now.  I know this because, although I’m a “working person,” although my income is in the top 10% nationally, and although I’ve been saving money for 50 years, I can’t afford a home on a two acre lot in New Jersey.  No matter.  The bottom line is that, unless you’re a wild-eyed Marxist, the plan to end local zoning makes no sense.  The problem is that the Democrat Party has been taken over by wild-eyed Marxists.  Yet that fact aside, until recently even I was a bit skeptical of Wilkow’s constant warnings about zoning.  Then I heard about New York City’s new plan to “fundamentally transform” its zoning laws.  They call it, “The City of Yes.”  That euphemistic title requires some explanation.  Politicians resort to euphemism when they’re about to do something much of the electorate doesn’t want.  That’s the case here.  It was explained by Mayor Eric Adams, no less. and there is no less.  According to Adams, this new plan is designed to reverse what’s known as the NIMBY (not in my back yard) problem.  Not surprisingly, people who’ve invested their hard-earned money in homes in safe, quiet areas, don’t want things like, prisons, homeless shelters, and massive housing projects in their neighborhoods.  That’s the “City of No.”  Adams, and the Marxist New York City Council, are changing that into the “City of Yes.” How?  By calling their freedom grab “the City of Yes,” and by imposing their will by sheer force, the public be damned.  The City claims, “the sweeping changes are an example of the city self-removing some obstacles to better align with the momentum generated by new major climate-driven initiatives.”  Where did I put my hip boots?  Here are some of the details.  Homeowners will be allowed to add accessory dwelling units (ADUs) such as backyard cottages up to 800 square feet, or garage conversions.  The city says ADU’s would help seniors “age in place” and give younger generations a chance to save on rent by living at home, but separately.  Great huh?  Stick grandpa in the garage.  What about all those assisted living and over 55 communities?  Ready made illegal alien housing.  Plus, you’ll never get rid of your kids.  And nothing says “Third World country” better than lean-tos in every yard.  The City also will legalize previously illegal conversions, such as basement apartments.  But there’s more.  The plan wants to prioritize placing new housing developments near public transit – specifically 3-to-5 story apartment buildings on large lots near train stations.  The city says “this will reduce car reliance, traffic congestion and carbon emissions while also supporting the MTA with increased ridership.” (As well as supplying more victims for the muggers on the subways – its a win win).  And where will they get the large lots on which to build the 5 story apartment buildings?  No problem!  Another part of the plan eliminates  parking mandates for off-street parking for new housing.  “Builders will still have the option to include parking in new developments, but would be less inclined to.” (Less inclined Hell, if the developer can put up the building without using space for parking he makes more money).  But what about the existing parking lots not near mass transit?  I’m glad you asked.  8,500 acres of parking lots will be used to build solar panels, to power more than 130,000 homes.  They think of everything, don’t they?  Adams didn’t say how the remaining 3,170,000 households will be powered when they end fossil fuels.  But if they can just figure out how to make the sun shine long enough from November to April, they have the problem licked.  And even if they can’t, living so close together, New Yorkers will be able to huddle for warmth.  And, don’t worry, Mayor Adams hasn’t forgotten about the electric cars Joe Biden says we all have to drive.  The plan more than doubles the space for vehicle charging facilities, adding an additional 400 million square feet.  As this is written, it’s 11 degrees in Chicago and many of that City’s electric vehicle charging stations have been rendered inoperable by extreme cold temperatures.  A number of Teslas are being pushed through the streets.  That’s good exercise though.  Maybe it’s Joe Biden’s version of the presidential physical fitness plan.  At the end of the day, the City of Yes plan is just the latest Leftist plan to steal individual freedom.  Remember that its goal is “removing obstacles” to advance their fever dream climate change agenda.  Because to the Left, your God given rights are just that – obstacles to their insatiable power grab.  First they canceled law enforcement.  Now they’re cancelling zoning.  And step by step, life becomes poorer, meaner, harder, more expensive, and less comfortable for all those who work hard and follow the rules.  Make no mistake, the City of Yes nonsense is coming for all of us.  New York and other big cities are just getting there first.  Here in New Jersey, developers are building multi-unit apartments and condos rather than single-family homes.  The mostly deserted Monmouth Mall in Eatontown is being partially torn down so Kushner can build 1,000 apartments in the space.  Rumor has it that the same thing is in store for the once-bustling Livingston Mall.  Wilkow was right.  A  government that can forcibly change behavior can control the people.  So, when Democrats tell you “democracy is on the ballot,” believe it.

You may have noticed that I don’t have much good to say about Biden and his woebegone Administration.  That being said, I have tried to avoid such rhetoric as comparing the stupid bastards to Nazis or accusing them of treason.  Until now.  Treason is the only crime defined by our Constitution.  Article III, section 3 provides that, “Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.”  What the Biden Administration is doing on our borders, borders on treason against the United States.  President Trump left Biden secure borders, with illegal border crossings under control.  The Biden Administration erased the borders, and threw our country open to millions of illegal aliens.  Forget all the nonsense about how things might be different if Old Joe or Kamala would just visit the border to view the problem first hand.  What’s going on on the border isn’t due to a lack of information.  It’s not an oversight.  It’s no mistake.  Admitting an overwhelming swarm of illegals is the official policy of Biden and the Democrats.  Democrats are fond of saying that the immigration system is broken.  They know what they’re talking about, because they’re the ones who broke it.  Before Biden, we were admitting more than one million legal immigrants every year.  Nobody opposed this, nor would there have been opposition to expanding the number of legal immigrants, provided that were were admitting useful, functional people who were liable to prove themselves assets to our nation.  That’s how America was built, and how it became the envy of the world.  But Biden and the Democrats have no use for legality, and apparently little use for educated, productive immigrants who are able to support themselves.  Leftists like to remind us of the Emma Lazarus poem, The New Colossus, “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.”  But they have neglected to note that “the wretched refuse of your teeming shore” who came here in the late 19th and early 20th Centuries didn’t come expecting a handout.  They weren’t met at the border by officials bearing gifts, and free transportation to their destinations of choice.  If they couldn’t support themselves, they weren’t admitted.  And, if they suffered from even minor medical problems, they were shipped back from whence the came.  The “broken” system that Democrats like to complain about still includes provisions regarding exclusion of those who would become charges on the State (welfare cases), the diseased, criminals, potential terrorists, or anyone who has been a member of or affiliated with the Communist or any other totalitarian party.  This is the “system” that Congress enacted.  It wasn’t broken until Biden arrived.  And simply put, even if the system was broken, the President has a constitutional duty to “take care that the laws be faithfully executed.” By flaunting, ignoring, and otherwise violating the immigration laws, Biden is in breach of his oath of office and subject to impeachment.  But treason?  Just consider the facts. In Biden’s first year in office, he let more than 1.9 million illegals into the U.S.  That was a record; a record that he promptly broke.  In 2022, 2.7 million.  In 2023, 3.2 million.  2024 figures to be even worse.  Add to that nearly 2 million of what they like to call “known gotaways,” and you’ve got more than 10 million newly arrived, needy illegal aliens, and keep in mind, this is only the number the lying government admits to.  That number is more than the populations of 40 of our States.  This recent throng of wretched refuse comes from every corner of the world, including the usual suspects from Central and South America, Russia, China, the Mideast, Romania, Korea, India, Turkey and Cuba.  Among those who came into contact with immigration authorities have been  169 individuals whose names appear on the terrorist watchlist.  Two of them were Yemeni men who were on the terrorist watch list and the no-fly list.  In 2023 alone, there were 35,433 aliens with criminal convictions or outstanding warrants, including 598 known gang members, 178 of those being murderous Salvadoran MS-13 members.  We already have Blue States where Democrats refuse to protect Americans from home-grown criminals.  Why is Biden importing more of them?  And what are more than 10 million illegals being admitted for, if not to replace American citizens with a needy underclass, designed to do the bidding of their Woke benefactors?  That is nothing less than the planned overthrow of the republican form of government guaranteed by the Constitution, and the functional equivalent of war on our States.  Add to this the hundreds of thousands of illegals excludable by law as criminals, mentally or physically ill, or potential terrorist threats, and that is a war on the United States.  Plus, hundreds of thousands from Russia, China, Cuba, Venezuela, and so on, all of whom are former adherents to Communist or totalitarian Parties, and tell me how Biden isn’t giving aid and comfort to our enemies?  The notion that these millions are just poor migrants seeking political asylum is a bold-faced lie. Many never apply for asylum, and those who do are given court dates 6 years in the future.  Of those, only a fraction actually show up in court, and since we don’t know who or where they are, they can’t be compelled to appear.  It’s all part of the plan to keep them here until we can be told, “they’ve been here so long, we can’t deport them.”  It’s become so bad that even Blue State elected officials are beginning to complain.  Biden expects the States and cities to feed, house, educate, cloth, and provide medical treatment to these millions of invaders, without federal help.  New York, already going broke from post-Wuhan virus departures of residents and in-person employees, is now spending billions of dollars on illegals, who are living in $400 a night hotels, driving unregistered motor vehicles, and jamming schools.  The other day, New York sent Madison High School students home to house hundreds of “migrants” it had stupidly placed in a flood zone as 4 inches of rain came down.  What Biden has wrought is disgraceful, illegal, dangerous, divisive, and downright idiotic.  Whoever is really running the government is bent on a scheme to collapse our system under the weight of millions of illegals, and replace it with what?  The very same kind of Communist or totalitarian dictatorship that many of these people are fleeing.  The border mess really does border on treason.  The media, by and large, is content to let the country collapse.  We can stop this in November if you wake up your friends and neighbors and tell them the truth.
