WATCH: Muslims Chant ‘Death to America!’ at Michigan Rally as Feds Continue Crackdown on ‘MAGA Extremism.’

Demonstrators in the Muslim stronghold of Dearborn, Michigan, chanted anti-America and anti-Israel slogans during a speech by Islamist activist Tarek Bazzi at a Quds Day rally. Quds Day, which takes its name from the Arabic name for Jerusalem, was instituted by Grand Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini of Iran in 1979 and is held on the last day of Ramadan each year.

Tensions were high during the Quds Day rally in Dearborn, with Bazzi, tied to the Hadi Institute, declaring it is “not just Genocide Joe that has to go” — a reference to Joe Biden, accused of facilitating Israel’s war in Gaza — but “the entire system.”

“Any system that would allow such atrocities and such devilry to happen and would support it, such a system does not deserve to exist on God’s Earth,” he added.

At another point in his speech, he said, “Imam Khomeini, who declared the International Al-Quds Day, this is why he would say to pour all of your chants and all of your shouts upon the head of America.”

“Death to America!” the crowd chanted.

Bazzi was still more explicit in his attacks, saying: “[W]hen these fools ask us if Israel has the right to exist, the chant ‘Death to Israel!’ has become the most logical chant shouted across the world today!”

This also prompted chants of “Death to Israel!”

Bazzi also had a small child take to the microphone to shout “Free, Free Palestine” and “From the River to the Sea,” widely recognized as a call for the destruction of Israel across its entire geographical extent, from the River Jordan to the Mediterranean Sea.

Meanwhile, Joe Biden’s Department of Justice (DOJ) has doubled down on its persecution of MAGA-supporting Americans, recently prosecuting 71-year-old great-grandmother Rebecca Lavrenz for praying inside the U.S. Capitol. The Biden White House continues its outreach to Arab and Muslim Americans such as those depicted in the video below, many of whom have received direct outreach from the White House.

Media Peddles Ludicrous Claim That ‘Border Crisis Might Be a Boon for the Economy.’

Semafor, an influential globalist media outlet founded by former BuzzFeed editor-in-chief Ben Smith and former Bloomberg chief executive Justin B. Smith, has suggested the “border crisis might be a boon for the economy,” citing a former economist at Joe Biden’s White House.

Semafor’s Jordan Weissmann suggested it is “a bit like Biden ran an accidental experiment to test the economic impact of open borders – and it turned out better than anyone could have hoped,” citing post-pandemic economic growth.

However, while Ernie Tedeschi’s assessment of immigration figures post-pandemic “includ[ed] immigrants with both legal and non-legal status,” it made no mention of the southern border whatsoever.

Tedeschi also made almost no mention of the impact of immigration on economic growth per capita — that is, whether or not immigration makes individual Americans better off, instead of just increasing the size of the economy overall by increasing the number of people in it.

Only once, buried in the footnotes to his article, does Tedeschi mention economic growth per capita, admitting it “is less affected by immigration in the short-run” and “may even be temporarily lower, depending on the types of immigrants arriving.”

Economic nationalists and even some leftist labor leaders, such as the late Cesar Chavez, have long argued mass immigration makes Americans worse off at the individual level, by increasing the supply of labor and undercutting local workers who might otherwise be able to command better pay and conditions.

The former Biden staffer also fails to consider that some of the countries he compares unfavorably to the U.S. in terms of post-pandemic economic growth have also hugely increased immigration.

The United Kingdom increased net immigration from 184,000 in 2019 to an unprecedented 745,000 by 2022, yet growth remained sluggish and productivity stagnant.

Migrant Crime

MIGRANT CRIME ROUND-UP: Pedos, Rapists, and Killer Drug Traffickers.

Donald Trump’s warning that Joe Biden’s border crisis is creating a “new category” of “migrant crime” continues to appear prophetic after a week peppered with incidents involving migrant rapists, pedophiles, and murderous drug traffickers – often abetted by the authorities.

PEDOPHILE TRAFFICKER. 

Charges against 23-year-old illegal alien Pablo Mendoza, arrested for raping an extremely vulnerable minor described as “physically helpless or mentally incapacitated,” have been upgraded.

He now stands accused of sodomy, sexual abuse, and human trafficking. Local law enforcement believe he was attempting to pass his victim on to another man, saying they would likely have “a missing 14-year-old girl, and she would not be in our area” had things gone slightly differently.

A DETAINER IGNORED. 

On Wednesday, the Baltimore office of the Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) wing of U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement (ERO) announced they had detained a Colombian illegal alien, also accused of the “horrific” rape of a Massachusetts minor.

ICE reported the Colombian was initially detained after crossing the border illegally in July 2022, but, like many other illegals, he was released under the so-called Alternative to Detention (ATD) program.

He was arrested for the alleged rape in January. Worryingly, however, the Essex County Sheriff’s Office ignored a detainer request from ICE and released him back onto the streets. He remained at large until late March, seriously endangering public safety.

ENDANGERING THE PUBLIC.

ICE had a similar experience involving a predatory migrant in Maryland; this time, an Indian man was convicted of sexually abusing a minor.

This pedophile was also let loose among the public in defiance of an ICE detainer request, forcing the ERO Baltimore team to track him down.

ERO took the slightly unusual step of publicly calling out the local authorities, namely Howard County Executive Calvin Ball and Howard County Council, for releasing the pedophile.

“This predator’s presence in our area constituted a significant threat to the children of our Maryland neighborhoods,” said ERO Baltimore director Matthew Elliston.

“We cannot allow noncitizen sex offenders to roam the streets of our community,” he added.

THREE FUGITIVE RAPISTS.

ICE announced they successfully removed Aurelio Coy-Quib, 41, Byron Randolfo Parada Vasquez, 27, and Luis Antonio Sian-Gonzalez, 33, to Guatemala on Wednesday.

The three men were all wanted for rape in their home country. Coy-Quib had been released following his initial detention by Border Patrol and, like many illegals, simply skipped immigration court. He remained under the radar for years after a judge ruled he should be deported in absentia, only falling into ICE’s hands when he was arrested for assault.

Parada had been deported after entering illegally at least twice before. The first time, he notched convictions for drug trafficking and assault before his removal. His second deportation was more straightforward, with U.S. officials catching him when he crossed and prosecuting him for illegal reentry. His third deportation followed a similar pattern, except ICE also discovered he was wanted for aggravated rape in Guatemala.

Sian-Gonzalez was also apprehended relatively quickly and also confirmed to be wanted for aggravated rape after being detained.

ALMOST DECAPITATED.

On Monday, Baltazar Perez-Estrada, who had entered the U.S. illegally a mere two weeks ago, walked into Illinois’s Carol Stream Police Department in Illinois and informed officers he had stabbed his wife to death. In fact, he had almost decapitated her in front of their children, reportedly because he had discovered she had a boyfriend.

“The extremely violent end to a young mother’s life is something that should touch us all,” said DuPage County State Attorney Robert Berlin.

“Not only has this senseless and brutal act removed Maricela from [the lives of her family and friends], but it has robbed two young children of their mother,” added Carol Stream Chief of Police Don Cummings.

Like many of the illegal aliens mentioned above, Perez-Estrada was caught by the authorities when he entered the U.S. but was given a court date and left at large.

DOUBLE MURDER DERAILS DEPORTATION.

On Monday, a Haitian migrant was arrested for allegedly stabbing two men to death in Middletown, New York — as he was awaiting a deportation hearing.

Thirty-year-old Kenol Baptiste reportedly stabbed both men multiple times, with one being found dead in the apartment complex they shared with the Haitian and the other found badly wounded on the street. He died in hospital while police dogs hunted down Baptiste in woodland near the crime scene.

The suspected murderer is thought to have entered the U.S. around eight months ago, but the authorities are “still trying to track back how, where, when.”

Orange County Executive Steven Neuhaus blamed the Joe Biden regime for the killings and noted Democrat New York City Mayor Eric Adams had dumped over 80 single male migrants in hotels in the area in May 2023.

TOO MANY CHANCES.

Forty-six-year-old Fermin Garcia-Gutierrez, a Mexican illegal who has already been charged over 20 times and deported an astonishing eight times, is back before the U.S. authorities yet for potentially his worst offense to date after the body of a murder victim was discovered in Ohio.

Garcia-Gutierrez faces charges of premeditated, aggravated murder, various weapons offenses, drug possession, and obstruction. He has assumed at least seven separate identities since 2001, with Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones asking at a Wednesday press conference, “Who knows how many people this guy has been involved in and has killed?”

“Here in the United States, in our jail, he’s had two or three weapons charges, he’s had domestic violence [charges]… driving while intoxicated,” the sheriff said.

“We don’t know how many he’s killed in Mexico.”

While many Democrats have attempted to downplay the impact of migrant crime, Jones stressed that almost 1,000 illegal aliens have entered his jail on state crime charges since Biden assumed office.

KILLER FENTANYL TRAFFICKER. 

The final example on this by no means exhaustive list is an unnamed Dominican charged with fentanyl trafficking, assault and battery, and strangulation.

It now emerges he is wanted in his homeland for murder and illegally entered the U.S. in order to evade a murder trial.

“He made his way to Massachusetts and has been repeatedly apprehended by local authorities and charged with crimes of violence and drug crimes,” ICE confirmed.

Somali Refugee Strangles Pregnant Girlfriend in Alleged Honor Killing.

Mohamedamin Abdirisek Ibrahim, a 22-year-old Somali refugee, has been charged with murder in connection to the death of his seven-months-pregnant Swedish girlfriend, Saga Forsgren Elneborg. Ibrahim is accused of killing 20-year-old Saga Forsgren Elneborg in her Örebro home. The prosecution alleges that Ibrahim strangled Elneborg to death in an alleged honor killing.

Prosecutor Elizabeth Anderson stated that Ibrahim committed the murder in an “honor context,” aiming to maintain or reclaim his family’s honor by killing Elneborg, who was carrying his child. Anderson also noted that there’s no evidence proving that Ibrahim informed his family of his relationship with Elneborg or her pregnancy.

Text messages between the couple suggest Ibrahim feared telling his family about Elneborg’s pregnancy. The messages also indicate that Ibrahim wanted Elneborg to have an abortion. The tension escalated till Elneborg’s death. Ibrahim allegedly used a lamp cord to strangle her.

Ibrahim denies the charges and insists upon his love for his late girlfriend. Ibrahim’s story on the tragedy will further unravel when he faces his murder trial scheduled for next Wednesday.

Sweden, like many European nations, has struggled to integrate migrants from Islamic countries like Somalia. The country is home to several notorious “no-go zones,” and crimes committed by migrants are frequent.

Chicago’s Mayor Wants Biden To Grant Work Permits For Half-A-Million Illegals.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson is pushing President Joe Biden to authorize work permits for the nearly half-million illegal immigrants currently residing in Illinois. According to Johnson, Chicago alone can accommodate several hundred thousand more immigrants.

“We need the president to extend the same economic opportunities long term for our undocumented brothers and sisters, so they can build a better life here in the city of Chicago or wherever else they decide to live,” Johnson said during a recent meeting with business leaders. The Chicago mayor argued that the state’s illegal immigrant population should benefit from the same economic opportunities accessible to legal residents.

On Thursday, Johnson — backed by other Democrat mayors, including those from Denver, New York, Seattle, and San Francisco – submitted a formal request for the work permit increase to the Biden White House. “I remain standing in my belief that a more inclusive and equitable future for all residents is truly possible, whether they arrived here yesterday or have been here for an extended period of time,” he wrote.

Johnson’s request comes as part of a broader effort by Democrat mayors to urge the Biden government to expedite work permit issuances for the new wave of illegal immigrants and to extend current permits, which are set to expire in late April. They contend that without additional permits, their municipalities will be overwhelmed by their growing population of illegal immigrants who are currently unable to seek legal work. In response to a joint appeal from more than forty mayors in February, the Biden government has increased the extension time from 180 to 540 days for specific categories of illegal immigrants.

Despite widespread local disapproval surrounding the illegal immigrant influx, Johnson remains staunch in his advocacy for the immigrant community, even as thousands continue to inhabit city shelters.

Biden, Zuckerberg Allies Use Baltimore Bridge Collapse to Demand MORE Cheap Illegal Labor.

As Joe Biden visits the Francis Scott Key Bridge wreckage in Baltimore, Maryland, the President’s allies — including progressive lawmakers and corporate special interest groups — are using the immigrant deaths to renew a push for the mass legalization of illegal immigrants working low-wage jobs. The bridge collapsed after being struck by a shipping vessel on March 26 — with six immigrant workers killed in the disaster.

Proponents of mass amnesty for illegals contend that illegal aliens who have worked and paid taxes in the U.S. for decades are entitled to the legitimacy of a work permit. Organizations such as the American Business Immigration Coalition (ABIC) and FWD.us — a progressive advocacy group co-founded by Facebook‘s Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan — are spearheading the effort.

Critics argue this press for immigration legislation unfairly utilizes the tragic bridge disaster as leverage and neglects American citizens. Chris Chmielenski, the president of the Immigration Accountability Project, told Breitbart that the corporate media is “choosing — whether consciously or not — to ignore the fact that these immigrant workers are being exploited at the expense of American workers who are willing to take these jobs.”

Since President Biden took office, more than 13.7 million illegal immigrants have entered the U.S., displacing native-born workers. The National Pulse previously reported that almost all of the jobs gained by the U.S. economy since the start of Biden’s term have been fueled by migrant labor. This led the Biden government and its progressive allies to quietly push executive actions to work around the immigration limits set by Congress in 1990.

Illegal Migration Under Biden Matches All LEGAL MIGRATION from 1892 to 1954.

Illegal immigration under Joe Biden is approaching the volume of all legal immigration processed at Ellis Island. The federal processing facility operated from 1892, when former Civil War colonel Benjamin Harrison was President, to 1954, when General Eisehower’s government closed it down.

Ellis Island accepted more than 12 million immigrants legally seeking American citizenship. Biden has already overseen an influx of at least 9.4 million illegal immigrants, with almost ten months remaining until the next inauguration.

This only accounts for recorded encounters with illegal aliens, however. Hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants — if not more — bypass immigration authorities entirely each year, becoming “gotaways.”

The Democratic Party benefits at least indirectly from the border crisis, as Congressional and Electoral College apportionment is calculated based on the estimated number of people living in a particular area—whether or not they are lawful residents, still fewer citizens.

Congressman Yvette Clarke openly admitted she wanted “more people in my district, just for redistricting purposes” during a House Foreign Affairs Committee meeting on Haitian migrants in 2021.

Frances Clears Migrant Camp Ahead of Olympics.

French law enforcement cleared a camp of approximately 50 migrants from the Paris City Hall on Wednesday. The move comes as the city prepares for the start of the Olympic Games. Mothers, children, and infants comprised the majority of the group. They were brought onto a bus destined for temporary government-sponsored accommodations in Besançon, located in eastern France.

Aid groups raised concerns that the move signals the potential start of a wider campaign by officials to clean up the city’s streets of migrant communities ahead of the Olympic Games. Paris authorities seem to have no clear plans for providing these citizens with long-standing housing solutions.

Olympic organizers have claimed to be collaborating with aid groups to find solutions for the multitude of migrants currently on the city’s streets, many of whom are refugees or job seekers. A significant number of these individuals are from French-speaking African countries.

France is one of many European countries that have struggled with massive numbers of migrants. In December, the country introduced legislation curbing the number of migrants permitted into the nation, strengthening requirements for French citizenship, streamlining migrant deportation procedures, and delaying migrants’ access to state benefits.

The expulsion of migrants from Paris City Hall is not the first time the country’s management of the impending Olympic Games has caused controversy. Last year, France announced it was banning athletes participating in the games from wearing Islamic head scarves. In March, promotional art for the games removed the cross from the famed Dôme des Invalides.

How is America ‘Adding Jobs’ While Unemployment Rises? Allow Us to Explain…

The massive number of immigrants who have crossed into the United States at the southern border over the last year may be the cause of diverging government data detailing job growth and the unemployment rate, according to The Wall Street Journal. While the U.S. economy has seen relatively strong job growth over the last year, the unemployment rate has also begun to creep up — leaving economists and labor market analysts stumped.

Monthly employment data released by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics is based on two surveys that measure job growth and the unemployment rate using slightly different methodologies. The ‘establishment survey’ — used to determine how many jobs the economy has added in a given month — is based on data collected from over 100,000 businesses and government agencies. Meanwhile, the ‘household survey’ is based on a rotating poll of around 60,000 American households and is used to calculate the unemployment rate.

In the latter survey, the U.S. government uses the percentage of respondents who say they are working and applies that number to the Census Bureau‘s population data. The census data, however, has not accounted for the millions of immigrants who have entered the country over the past year. That discrepancy could cause the divergence in data and explain why the U.S. economy hasn’t overheated from the increased job growth.

David Mericle, chief U.S. economist at Goldman Sachs, told the Wall Street Journal that the increasing unemployment rate is likely driven by out-of-work immigrants, while the immigrants securing work are fueling the job market growth. The National Pulse previously reported in February that data produced by the Center for Immigration Studies shows almost the entirety of job growth over 2023 was driven by legal and illegal immigration. Meanwhile, native-born American workers saw a decline of 183,000 jobs.

Illegals Caught Hiding in U.S. School.

Santa Teresa Middle School in New Mexico has been forced into lockdown twice in one week due to illegal aliens being discovered on school premises.

On March 27, six migrants were apprehended by El Paso Border Patrol personnel after they were found on the property of the school, located close to the Rio Grande outside of El Paso. The school had to be locked down to ensure safety as Border Patrol apprehended the illegals, who were seeking to penetrate the U.S. undetected.

“Being that those schools are so close to the border. The proximity of the border, these types of events happen weekly,” admitted Border Patrol representative Refugio Socorro.

“A lot of people in that area that try to evade arrest from our apprehensions do have a criminal history or have immigration issues,” he warned.

Santa Teresa Middle School is about five miles from a gap in the border wall referred to as ‘The Anarpa Gap’.

Halting border wall construction was one of Joe Biden’s first acts as President.
