Border Agents Alerted FBI on NJ-NY Bombing Suspect in 2014
by Tammy on September 24, 2016Of course. And of course nothing was done. It really is a miracle no one was killed by that savage. Via Fox News. At least one trip to Pakistan by New York-area bombing suspect Ahmad Khan Rahami raised a red flag when he returned to the United States, prompting border officials to alert the FBI, Fox News has learned. A Department of Homeland Security official confirmed to Fox News Friday that Rahami was questioned by U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents in March of 2014 upon his return to the U.S. from a 13-month trip to Pakistan. The FBI was notified about the interview months before Rahami’s father told the FBI his son could be involved with terrorism. The FBI...

UK to Build Wall in Calais, France to Stop Refugees, er, Migrants from Illegal Entry
by Shifra on September 7, 2016UK will build a concrete wall in Calais to stop migrants from illegally crossing the Channel to Britain. “Progressives” call this action ‘racist and xenophobic.’ Or, as we call it, ‘protecting your citizens against the predatory gangs.’ Via Daily Mirror. A huge concrete wall is to be built by Britain in Calais to stop migrants making it across the Channel. Immigration minister Robert Goodwill confirmed the move last night as he looks to beef up security at the French port. The 13ft concrete £2million barrier will stretch for a mile and replace fencing that has so far failed to stop stowaways targeting lorries. In July official figures showed that one migrant is caught trying to sneak into the UK every...

Israel to Help Kenya Build 440-Mile Border Wall to Prevent Infiltration of Somali Terrorists
by Shifra on July 13, 2016Because walls work! Via Algemeiner. Israel will lend its counter-terrorism expertise to Kenya by helping the African country build a security wall along its border with Somalia, the UK’s The Times reported on Thursday. Nairobi is seeking assistance from the Jewish state to construct a 440-mile barricade to prevent Somali terrorists from infiltrating the country.

If you know in advance that an attack is going to happen and...

Half-Mile US-Mex Border Tunnel Discovered, 1 Ton Cocaine, & 7 Tons Marijuana Seized
by Pat_S on April 21, 2016This is the 13th sophisticated secret tunnel found going between California and Mexico since 2006. This tunnel ran from a Tijuana house to the lot of a wooden pallet business in San Diego. It is not known how long it’s been used as a drug smuggling route. Border Patrol agents noticed heavy traffic at the pallet lot and were suspicious. A U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Homeland Security Investigations investigator is “fairly confident” the first drug shipment was sent recently but admits some might have gotten through undetected. Half-mile tunnel found under US-Mexico border; 1 ton cocaine, 7 tons marijuana seized Investigators began to monitor the lot daily last fall after Border Patrol agents assigned to the area saw heavy...

National Border Patrol Council Endorses Donald Trump
by Tammy on March 30, 2016Not a surprise. If Mr. Trump wins the presidency and does what he says he’s going to do, a great deal of the chaos at the border will be resolved and yes, this nation will be more secure. Via Washington Times. The National Border Patrol Council (NBPC), the U.S.’ largest border patrol union has endorsed GOP front-runner Donald Trump for president. The group’s bold statement comes just days after a senior policy adviser for Mr. Trump said that under a Trump administration, U.S. border security policy would be determined by Border Patrol agents who have first-hand knowledge of what is necessary to protect the border and not by politically-appointed bureaucrats in the Border Patrol or its parent agency Customs and...

Fed Court: Illegals Can’t Be Deported For Being Drunk
by Shifra on March 25, 2016Ok, forget about being drunk. How about deporting them for being illegally in the U.S. ? Via Daily Caller: A federal appeals court struck down a U.S. immigration law that allows the government to deport someone for being a habitual drunkard, ruling Thursday the law illegally equates alcoholism with bad moral character. “There is no rational basis to classify people afflicted by chronic alcoholism as innately lacking good moral character,” the three-panel court said in the majority opinion, citing the Equal Protection Clause in the Constitution. Salomon Ledezma-Cosino is a Mexican citizen previously unable to appeal a deportation order, because he was found to be a habitual drunkard — at one point drinking a liter of tequila a day on...

by Shifra on March 22, 2016Hillary is on the Trump Train? Who knew? Via American Mirror: In 1995, Hillary Clinton liked Donald Trump’s 2016 position to stem the tide of illegal immigration and protect American sovereignty and jobs. “All Americans, not only in the States most heavily affected but in every place in this country, are rightly disturbed by the large numbers of illegal aliens entering our country,” Clinton said during his 1995 State of the Union address…. “We are a nation of immigrants. But we are also a nation of laws,” Clinton said, as First Lady Hillary Clinton rose to her feet to applaud….

Hillary Tells Arizona Voters: “We’ve Done A Really Good Job Securing The Border”
by Shifra on March 18, 2016Actually, Hillary is correct on this one: The NY-NJ border has been very quiet lately. And no major incidents to report on the Connecticut border, either. Via Mediaite: Hillary Clinton said in an interview with an Arizona radio station… that border security isn’t as big an issue as Republicans have made it out to be…. On the question of border security, Clinton said, “I think we’ve done a really good job securing the border.

Border Patrol: A Wall Would Help
by Gina on March 1, 2016Well, well… Via Washington Examiner. A top Border patrol official seemed to surprise a House Democrat on Tuesday by indicating that improving the “physical barrier” at the southern U.S. border would help control immigration flows and drug trafficking, and that the fencing already up at the border has made a noticeable improvement. “We’ve seen great effect of the fencing, the wall that’s there, on the southern border,” Ronald Vitiello, acting chief of the U.S. Border Patrol, told a House Homeland Security subcommittee panel. Vitiello offered that assessment in response to a thinly-veiled question about Republican candidate Donald Trump’s pledge to build a border wall if he were elected president. “In this highly charged political environment, there’s a lot of talk...

George Clooney Wants More Refugees In U.S., Seeks Greater Seclusion In Italy
by Shifra on February 15, 2016Clooney thinks we should be taking in more Syrian refugees. However, he may be selling his Italian estate – now worth $100 million – because it is not secluded enough. Via Breitbart: George Clooney, and his wife Amal, met in private with German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Friday and praised her leadership during the migrant crisis, as rumors circulate that the American actor may sell his luxurious Lake Como property because it isn’t isolated enough…. After the 40-minute meeting, Clooney criticized the U.S. policy toward migrants on German television. “You know in the United States, we aren’t doing enough,” he said. “We are a little less involved than we should be.”….

Congress Provides $1.6B to Resettle Illegal Immigrants Arriving at Border Through 2018
by Tammy on December 17, 2015Courtesy of the Republican-controlled Congress. And they wonder why Trump and Cruz are doing so well. Via Free Beacon. A massive appropriations bill expected to be approved by Congress would provide more than $1.6 billion to resettle illegal immigrants arriving at the U.S. border through 2018. Congress would award the massive check to the government just as the U.S. is experiencing a surge in arrivals of immigrant children at the southern border. Last week, federal agencies said they were opening two temporary shelters with 1,000 beds in South Texas to cope with the surge. A 400-bed shelter is also to be opened in Southern California. “Out of an abundance of caution, the Office of Refugee Resettlement at the Department of...

Videos: Tammy On Trump’s Proposal To Stop Muslim Immigration Into U.S.
by Shifra on December 8, 2015Tammy with guest host Judge Andrew Napolitano and former Bush State Department Senior Advisor Christian Whiton discuss Donald Trump’s latest proposal. Tammy notes that the appeal of this proposal can be understood within the framework of an actual, new idea (as opposed to nothing new from Obama) and that this is a conversation that we must have. Tammy also suggests that a more nuanced approach would be to stop immigration from countries that have no infrastructure, which would slow the immigration flood while allowing the vettng process to be improved.

DHS Head Asked About Kate Steinle, Responds: “Who?”
by Shifra on July 14, 2015To the Obama Regime, some lives matter more than others…. Via BizPac Review: If the family of a woman shot to death by an illegal alien in San Francisco woman is expecting to hear from the Obama administration about it, they’re going to be waiting a long time. Top White House officials don’t even know her name. At a Capitol Hill hearing Tuesday, Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson was asked if anyone in the administration had reached out to the family of Kathryn Steinle, the woman killed by five-time-deported illegal alien Juan Francisco Lopez Sanchez. “To who?” Johnson replied. When Rep. Steve Chabot, R-Ohio, explained who the Steinle family was, Johnson played dumb. “I’m sorry, I don’t know the...

by Tammy on December 3, 2014We saw this happening at the time. The Obama Economic Clusterfark continues… Via Daily Caller.

Lib Journalist Compares Obama’s Amnesty to Lincoln’s Emancipation
by Shifra on August 21, 2014After Obama’s election, Liberals began falling all over themselves, comparing him to Abraham Lincoln. For example, here’s the plagiarist historian Doris Kearns Goodwin gushing after Obama’s ’08 Inauguration: And this, from CBS: The Obama-Lincoln Parallel: A Closer Look But now, with much of the world in chaos (great job, POTUS!), it seemed we would be done with these absurd comparisons. So, you can imagine my surprise when I recently came across an article in the Investor’s Business Daily, in their “On the Left” column: Obama’s Amnesty Would Be Like Lincoln’s Emancipation, by Charles Lane: Not since Lincoln pondered his Emancipation Proclamation has a president considered a more sweeping change to membership in the American community than the relief for illegal...
