Republican Warns Biden Order Allowing Illegal Immigrants and Felons to Vote

A Republican secretary of state sent a letter this week to the Department of Justice alerting it to an executive order signed in 2021 that he says will allow felons and illegal aliens to register to vote in elections.

In the letter, Republican Mississippi Secretary of State Michael Watson wrote in a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland that a Biden-signed executive order has led “to agencies under your charge attempting to register people to vote, including potentially ineligible felons and to co-opt state and local . . .

Democrats Vote Unanimously to Include Illegal Immigrants in Census

Senate Democrats have unanimously defeated Sen. Bill Hagerty’s (R-Tenn.) proposal to bar illegal immigrants from being counted in the national census, warning that their numbers go toward informing the apportioning of House seats and the Electoral College.

Soon after President Joe Biden took office in 2021, he signed an executive order requiring the Census Bureau to determine the population of each state in the United States without regard to whether residents have lawful immigration status.

The amendment, which would be added to the Equal Representation Act that Sen. Hagerty proposed last month, would require . . . Read more about Democrats Vote Unanimously to Include Illegal Immigrants in Census

Texas plans to build a military base near Eagle Pass in response to ‘Biden’s border crisis’

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott announced plans Friday to build a Texas National Guard base near the southern border.

It’ll be a Forward Operating Base explicitly designed for Texas National Guard troops to quickly respond “to President Joe Biden’s border crisis,” according to a press release from Abbott’s office.

FAIR Applauds the House of Representatives for Impeaching Secretary Mayorkas

(February 13, 2024, Washington, D.C.) “Today’s vote in the House to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, only the second impeachment of a cabinet official in U.S. history, is a victory for the rule of law and the American people. 

“Secretary Mayorkas has not just presided over the greatest wave of illegal immigration in the nation’s history, he has actively encouraged it, facilitated it, and then forced the costs down the throats of the American people. This month marks three years since he swore to uphold the laws of the United States and protect the security of the homeland. Secretary Mayorkas, however, has done precisely the opposite. 

“At every turn, Secretary Mayorkas has ignored . . . Read more about FAIR Applauds the House of Representatives for Impeaching Secretary Mayorkas

‘Cash in Envelopes’: How the US and UN Are Funding the Border Crisis

The United States is bankrolling its own “invasion” by funding the United Nations and its partners, which, in turn, give hundreds of millions of dollars in cash and aid to migrants who eventually cross the U.S. southern border illegally.

While the U.N. has aided migrants for decades, the scope of its operation has dramatically expanded as the number of illegal immigrants—from at least 160 countries—into the United States has surged.

That expansion has been fueled by more than $1 billion in funding from the U.S. government to the U.N. and other agencies assisting migrants, according to a government spending . . . Read more about ‘Cash in Envelopes’: How the US and UN Are Funding the Border Crisis

Hispanic Democrats Vow to Oppose Senate Border Deal: Amnesty or Bust!

The Congressional Hispanic Caucus will oppose a deal to expand overall immigration, negotiated by Sens. James Lankford (R-OK), Chris Murphy (D-CT), and Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ), because it does not include amnesty for millions of illegal aliens.

The bill, released this week, would expand overall immigration to the United States by continuing to funnel border crossers and illegal aliens into American communities through President Joe Biden’s parole pipeline while, at the same time, increasing legal immigration levels by 50,000 green cards every year. . . .
