Bringing Immigration Policy into Focus

Original Article

Wretchardthecat has given us a sage analysis of the MAGA agenda: The reason the MAGA initiatives looked so disjointed to the media is they were component parts of a vast alternative worldview now coming into sight. Like the five blind men and the elephant the progressives are only now realizing the aspects of a single larger foe. Immigration control is a key feature of the MAGA initiatives: closing the border, removing illegal immigrants, keeping non-citizens from voting and stopping federal funds from going to so called non-government organizations who were bringing in millions of immigrants who overwhelmed housing, welfare, and educational budgets, committed crimes, and threatened national security.

We know what it should be, closed and controlled borders, putting Americans who work honest jobs first and taking care of our own before taking care of others. The main problem is, that sort of behavior does not create democrats.

Let me give you a little lesson on how it used to be done....Everyone came through Ellis Island to determine their health and who was sponsoring them....no free ride...a sponsor had to guarantee the new arrival....a job and a place to live ....WE jumped at the chance and worked very hard to make our dreams come true....and now...WE find out the illegal immigrants are handed a very soft life...with a promise to vote democratic till their end....

As near as I can tell (and I do genealogy as a hobby; historical research as a profession), none of my ancestors came through Ellis Island. They were either already here, came on a ship selling slaves at Jamestown or came through Philadelphia to Bucks Co, PA. And then, for all of them, migrations to app points south.

The Catholic Bishops role in destroying our Nation is despicable. They partnered with Marxocrats to import millions of aliens that broke our laws by entering illegally. Catholic Charities caused enormous damage: decreased wages, increased rent, increased insurance costs, depleted social benefits, increases in food stamps, depletion of Medicaid, forgeries of SSNs, unusable emergency rooms in hospitals, and Democrat voter fraud. Fortunately, DOGE is into the Federal computers and we will be able to track down all illegals with SSN or that entered with the Joek-One App and deport them back to whence they came. The new retroactive fine of $990 per day for those illegal aliens that do not register with DHS will terrorize them. Many will self-deport to get a chance for legal immigration and those that did not register will get expedited deportation and a fine not exceeding $1,000,000 if they were here for 5 years. President Trump is a genius that had immigration well planned. Removing illegals and ending USAID NGOs will go a long way to geld Democrats.

I hope that someone will read this article as it presents the only clear report on the Salvadoran father's deportation issue and the deportation of the Venezuelan TdA gang members that w2e will see. Clarice and Shipley know whereof they speak. Lawyers not journalists. Go ahead. Amaze your friends with what you've learned here.

RFK Jr. Confirms ‘The Deep State Is Real' 7 replies

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. just confirmed what conservatives have known all along: the Deep State is real, and it's embedded within our federal agencies. During his first visit to the FDA alongside Commissioner Marty Makary, Kennedy didn't mince words when addressing FDA employees. And what he said validates everything President Trump has been saying for years. "President Trump always talks about the Deep State, and the media, you know, disparages him and says that he's paranoid," Kennedy stated. "But the Deep State is real. And it's not, you know,

The technical term is “confidence game.” A crook gains the confidence of a victim (the “mark”) and preys upon their naivety, greed, and/or fear. Ultimately, the duped mark gives their money and/or property to the crook willingly. Consider this real-world example provided in Connie Fletcher’s 1991 book, What Cops Know: Today’s Police Tell the Inside Story of Their Work on America’s Streets, wherein an anonymous Chicago Police Department (CPD) detective reminisces about a con game he redressed: “One of the superintendents of the Chicago Police Department—his aunt was taken for $15,000…

Influencers — those obnoxious (and increasingly) political hype beasts who’ve defined much of internet life in the last decade — may finally be going the way of the Apple Watch: once a flashy trendsetter, now a garish relic. When a jacked-up fitness bro went viral in late March for a video flaunting his daily six-hour morning saga of 4 a.m. pushups, mineral water ice plunges, and banana peel facials, it was mocked into oblivion. Hipsters posted their own derisive morning routines, huffing on flavored vapes and chugging Red Bull; grannies filmed themselves putting in their dentures before settling in on the john.

The History of Palm Sunday 9 replies

The celebration of Palm Sunday originated in the Jerusalem Church, around the late fourth century. The early Palm Sunday ceremony consisted of prayers, hymns, and sermons recited by the clergy while the people walked to various holy sites throughout the city. At the final site, the place where Christ ascended into heaven, the clergy would read from the gospels concerning the entry of Jesus into Jerusalem. In the early evening they would return to the city reciting: “Blessed is He that comes in the name of the Lord.

King Solomon said, “There is nothing new under the sun” (Ecclesiastes 1:9). The sun rises, and the sun goes down… all streams run to the sea… what has been done is what will be done, and there is nothing new under the sun. In his prescience, King Solomon no doubt knew that one of the things that would remain the same was the obdurate persistence––over thousands of years––of maniacal Jew-hatred and a fanatical loathing of Israel. If it weren’t so serious, and deadly, it would be almost comical, considering that the massive, heavily armed, immensely populated, and hugely influential empires that tried to annihilate the Jews—the Babylonians, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Assyrians,

The radicalism of the far left judges all over the country, but especially in the Federal Court of the District of Columbia, is reaching the point where each succeeding account of a new injunction or a new expession of outrage against the President they despise and whose authority they deny seems to get more and more ludicrous prompting one to say “you just cannot make this stuff up”!

The 36 million who watched President Donald Trump's address to Congress also watched as Congressional Black Caucus member, Rep. Al Green, shook his cane and shouted at the president. When he refused to desist, Speaker Mike Johnson ordered him removed from the chamber. Two days later, in a bipartisan vote, the House censured Green. The Congressional Black Caucus stood in firm support of Green's actions and, in their own move to disrupt, CBC members sang "We Shall Overcome," an anthem of the Civil Rights Movement, as Johnson read the censure on the House floor. When they refused to stop disrupting, the Speaker gaveled the session to recess.

Censorship isn’t always loud. Sometimes, it moves in silence, disguised as diplomacy, business deals, or “cultural sensitivity.” It happens in places like China or Iran, until suddenly, it’s standing at your own front door, deciding what you can see, hear, and say. That’s exactly what is happening right now in the United States as the Chinese Communist Party wages an aggressive war, not with tanks or missiles, but with threats, pressure, and censorship, all aimed at silencing a dance performance.I know this because I’ve lived it. I was born in Iran, where history isn’t just rewritten, it’s erased.

In recent remarks at a recent hearing at the Congressional Iran Human Rights and Democracy Caucus, the Iranian opposition leader Maryam Rajavi observed that “the situation of the Iranian society is explosive” and that Iran’s theocratic dictatorship “has never been so weak and fragile” since it was established in the wake of the 1979 revolution. Even as she offered his assessment to Congress, the White House was in the process of actively implementing a renewed strategy of “maximum pressure” on the Iranian regime, which promises to increase its fragility even further.

Sen.

On Thursday, President Donald Trump said his administration will “work with [illegal immigrants who self deport] right from the beginning on trying to get them back in legally.” While that may sound like a clever strategy to encourage self-deportation, it misses the bigger picture — and sends the wrong message. (snip) Such statements completely undermine the seriousness of violating our immigration laws and insult every single American. Allowing aliens who broke the law to have a second chance at coming to the U.S. legally is like rewarding someone who broke into your home by handing them the front door key.
