Posted By: Dreadnought, 5/3/2024 9:33:50 AM

The Biden administration announced on Friday morning that it is expanding health-care access for a select group of illegal immigrants brought to the country as children. Illegal immigrants enrolled in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program will be granted access to health insurance under the Affordable Care Act, according to the White House. DACA members, sometimes referred to as “Dreamers,” will be able to apply for healthcare coverage on healthcare.gov and state level insurance marketplaces beginning in November.

"Dreamers" is a term based upon the "American Dream Act" rejected by congress, multiple times, even when Dems held majorities...DACA was/is a temporary deferment of enforcement, only supposed to last long enough for the the Dream Act to be passed...Instead Dems have maintained it in perpetuity even though it is the DIRECT OPPOSITE of what the LAWS require govt do. Neither DACA or TPS allow ANY "pathway to citizenship", nor do they allow ANY recipient to become a "Public Charge", yet this makes them a charge upon the public, again a direct violation of the LAW..

That so-called DACA immigration status has been unconstitutional from the get-go, as the US Constitution specifically gives Congress the power, not a President, to say what the US Immigration laws will be. Where have the wimpy Congressional Republicans and the US Courts been, as Obama’s unconstitutional DACA Executive Order was created and had been expanded to the benefit of Obama, Biden, and the Democrats? Chances are the wimpy Republicans don’t yet realize that when illegal aliens, including so-called DACA recipients, apply for US drivers licenses that they are automatically registered to vote in US elections under provisions of the Clinton era Motor-Voter laws. Since there are over twenty million illegal aliens in the USA, who have entered the USA sometime since the last big amnesty for illegal aliens since 1986, and chances are that about half of them have applied for US drivers licenses, that means that possibly as many as ten million illegals aliens have been registered to vote in US elections by way of those Motor-Voter laws.

It is illegal for the government to provide tax-payer funded services to illegals, especially while natural born American citizens are denied equalivalent service. Congress needs to send a Cease & Desist Letter to every Executive Branch agency telling them so.

All of Obama's "Dreamers" are adults now. They no longer need to be treated as children. They are fully capable of taking actions to become legal. Put in the work to become here legally, at least a green card. Only then should any type of benefits be extended to them.

Just another way for Biden to buy votes. Almost all so-called “Dreamers” who are illegal aliens and DACA reciepents who are now adults and have US drivers licenses, and when they applied for those drivers licenses were automatically registered to vote in US elections under provisions of the Clinton era Motor-Voter laws. It is the same for all aliens in the USA, either illegally or legally who amount to tens of millions of potentially illegal voters. Biden and his crew know that and will do everything they can do to pick up as many of those illegal ballots and votes as they can get away with.

Israel is expected to expand its offensive in Rafah after President Joe Biden threatened to withhold military aid in protest of the Jewish state’s battle plans in the Gaza city. The Israeli war cabinet voted Thursday evening to expand the scope of its operation in Rafah after Biden said he would refuse to supply key offensive weapons if Israel conducts a full-scale invasion of the city, according to Axios. Earlier this week, Israel began a limited offensive in Rafah and struck Hamas targets in the eastern part of the city, Hamas’s last major stronghold in Gaza. Before doing so, Israel ordered 100,000 Gazans to evacuate

On Thursday, we brought you the story behind what led to the arrests and clearing of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) pro-Hamas encampment, information that didn't get much more than a passing mention in local media reports likely due to the fact that it totally disrupted their narratives about how the agitators were supposedly just "peacefully protesting." In it, we referenced a lengthy statement from campus administrators who confirmed that contrary to what protesters and sympathetic faculty members would like you to believe, the "peaceful protesters" were in fact not peaceful protesters, and were "willing to escalate their tactics to the point of putting everyone in danger."

Stormy Daniels, gushing about sex and turds, was one heck of a mistake to put on the witness stand in the New York hush-money case brought by District Attorney Alvin Bragg against President Trump. Asked if she knew what the case was about, and well, she didn't. According to Victoria Taft, writing at PJMedia: The Washington Post captured most of the dialogue between Necheles and Daniels. Necheles asked Daniels if she had knowledge of Trump’s involvement in the payment made to her in 2016 to ensure she would not go public about their alleged sexual encounter. “Not directly,” Daniels replied. “No.”

FIRST ON FOX: Rep. Cory Mills, R-Fla., formally filed articles of impeachment against President Biden on Friday over his recent comments about withholding offensive weapons aid to Israel, drawing parallels to House Democrats' first impeachment of former President Donald Trump. The first-term House Republican told Fox News Digital it was his "constitutional duty" to do so. His legislative text, first obtained by Fox News Digital, accuses Biden of "abuse of power" and charges that he tried to force Israel into changing its own defense policies by leveraging lethal aid.

Israeli troops pressed deep into the southern Gaza city of Rafah Friday, seizing the main road dividing the east and west halves of that city and effectively encircling the eastern portion. This movement came as Hamas "negotiators" refused to continue talks with Israel, and as Joe Biden announced, he would impose an arms embargo on Israel if it attacked Rafah. Negotiations between Hamas and Israel have entirely broken down. Israeli negotiators have returned home, and Hamas negotiators have returned to their patrons in Doha. Hamas issued a statement Friday: "The negotiating delegation [of Hamas] left Cairo heading to Doha. In practice, the occupation [Israel] rejected the proposal submitted

On Wednesday, Biden told CNN's Erin Burnett that if Israel invades the city of Rafah in Gaza -- where remaining battalions of Hamas terrorists are holed up behind civilians -- the U.S. would stop supplying Israel with offensive and precision weapons.

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is comparing the pro-Israel vigilantes who attacked a pro-Palestinian “encampment” at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) last week to the Capitol rioters of January 6, 2021. As Breitbart News reported, the encampment bullied Jewish students, assaulted journalists, and blocked access to campus for students, faculty, and the public for several days. Bass and university authorities did nothing to stop them. In fact, security contractors and law enforcement said that they had been told not to intervene. One UCLA security guard told Breitbart News that the activists had been placed in charge of them and were guiding their deployment.
