Marcela Escobari, Biden‘s new migration advisor, is a foreign-born, open-borders advocate who is unlikely to advance or support any measures to seriously stem the flow of migrants into the U.S.
Born in Santa Cruz, Bolivia, Escobari is an international development specialist by trade. She served as the Assistant Administrator of the Latin American and Caribbean Bureau at the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) under Barack Obama. She again assumed that position in the Biden government in 2022 following a stint at the globalist, pro-open borders Brookings Institute.
Addressing Congress last year, Escobari bragged about the Latin American bureau’s role in doubling the number of H-2 visa migrants from Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador.
“We also support legal pathways, so that people can migrate in conditions of dignity, safety, and mutual benefit,” Escobari said. “USAID’s work with the ministries of labor in Guatemala and Honduras and the ministry of foreign affairs in El Salvador has more than doubled the number of H-2 visa recipients from these countries to almost 20,000 and reduced processing times threefold.”
Prior to her second stint at USAID, Escobari may have also had a hand in shaping the Biden regime’s immigration policies that led to the current migrant crisis, co-leading the Development, Global Health and Refugee policy working group for Biden’s 2020 campaign.
While her work at USAID has involved addressing issues with border enforcement within Latin American countries, she demonstrates Biden’s commitment to “expanding lawful pathways” for more migrants to enter the country, an NSC spokesman told Axios.

Mass migration has left London, England, and Paris, France, unrecognizable, Donald Trump told supporters at a Wisconsin rally on Wednesday. “We’ve seen what happened when Europe opened its doors to jihad. Look at Paris, look at London; they’re no longer recognizable,” he said.
The former presidentpredicted he was “going to get myself into a lot of trouble with the folks in Paris and the folks in London, but you know what, that’s the fact.”
“They are no longer recognizable, and we can’t let that happen to our country,” he stressed.
London has been governed by Mayor Sadiq Khan of the left-wing Labour Party since 2016. He is standing for a third consecutive term on Thursday, in a year that has already seen Muslim residents riot during Eid, Ramadan lights displayed in the street, and ‘Hadiths of the Day’ displayed in railway stations over Easter and Lent.
Knife crime in London, where White Britons now account for just 36.8 percent of residents, is up seven percent year-on-year and 81 percent over the last ten years. Muslim anti-Israel protestors called openly for “jihad” on the streets of the British capital after the October 7 terror attacks on Israel last year, but the local police force defended them.
Across Britain, almost 50 percent of Muslims across Britain poll as sympathetic to Hamas. Conservative lawmakers, following National Pulse editor-in-chief Raheem Kassam, have begun warning of the emergence of no-go zones.
Paris has undergone a similar demographic transformation and also faces a long-term increase in crime. The capital saw 97 public rapes in 2023, resulting in just 36 arrests. Seventy-seven percent of those arrested were foreign nationals. Last year, ethnic riots rocked the city after police shot an Algerian teen who drove a car at police officers during a gunpoint traffic stop.

Police officer Mohammed Adil has been suspended from his duties following allegations he promoted Hamas on messaging platform WhatsApp. Westminster Magistrates’ Court is set to hear terrorism charges against the 26-year-old policeman from Calderdale in West Yorkshire, England.
The investigation into Police Constable Adil was carried out by counter-terrorism officers directed by the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC), which regulates English police forces. PC Adil has been charged with two counts of publishing an image in support of a proscribed organization in contravention of the Terrorism Act.
“A West Yorkshire Police officer, PC Mohammed Adil, serving in Calderdale District, has been suspended since his arrest. This is part of a Counter Terrorism Policing North East investigation, under the direction of the Independent Office for Police Conduct,” the West Yorkshire Police force has confirmed in a statement.
Among British Muslims generally, polling has found 46 percent sympathize with Hamas in its current conflict with Israel. Just three percent sympathize more with Israel, while 36 percent said they do not sympathize “more” with either side.
West Yorkshire Police has faced several controversies in recent years. One involved a short-haired policewoman who entered the home of an autistic minor late at night and had her arrested for saying she resembled her “lesbian nana.” The force initially defended the incident, which was captured on video, but later dropped proceedings against the minor and had the “lesbian” officer apologize to the girl.
British police forces have often appeared reluctant to act against Islamism more broadly. In 2023, London’s Metropolitan Police force defended anti-Israel protestors calling openly for “jihad,” claiming the word has “a number of meanings.”
However, the protestors were calling for jihad in explicit reference to waging a holy war against Israel.

Women increasingly view immigration as a major concern, with American adults polled by Gallup listing immigration as their biggest concern for a third straight month — the first time in 24 years it has topped the list for so long. Moreover, more women than men now list immigration as their top concern.
In April, Women viewed immigration as a more important issue than men by 31 percent to 24 percent. In February and March, men were more concerned, 31 percent to 26 percent and 30 percent to 26 percent, respectively.
Concern about immigration among all respondents increased from 20 percent in January to nearly 30 percent in February and March. After immigration, Americans’ top concerns in April were the government, the economy, and inflation.
Americans’ increasing concern about immigration reflects public frustration with the Biden regime’s willful mishandling of the border crisis. In Fiscal Year 2023 alone, authorities apprehended nearly 2.5 million illegal aliens at the U.S.-Mexico border. Recent polling has consistently ranked immigration a pressing priority for voters, but the news that women — key to his reelection prospects — are becoming increasingly concerned about the issue is particularly bad news for Biden.
A likely factor driving women’s concern over immigration is illegal alien crime. In addition to particularly high-profile crimes such as the murder of Georgia nursing student Laken Riley, dozens of illegal aliens in states across the country have been arrested for murder and the sexual assault and rape of women and children.

The Biden regime is reportedly considering bringing Palestinians from Gaza to the United States as refugees.
The details: According to internal federal government documents obtained by CBS, the refugee status would extend to Gazans with immediate family who are American citizens or permanent residents.
Those who qualify would be given housing assistance and a pathway to citizenship.
Zoom out: As of 2020, 97,744 Palestinians were living in the U.S. It’s unclear how many of them have immediate family in Gaza.
Back up: Historically, the U.S. has not accepted many refugees from Gaza because it complicates our close partnership with Israel. Over the last decade, the U.S. has resettled less than 600 refugees from Palestine.
Ideological concerns: According to a recent poll, 71 percent of Palestinians supported Hamas’s October 7 attack on Israel that saw brutal murders and rape of innocent civilians. This poses the obvious challenge of vetting who is allowed in.Playing politics:For Biden, this move is all about stopping the bleeding. He’s trying to win back Arab American and young Democrat voters who are dissatisfied with his support for Israel.
The Hotel Le Jolie in the fashionable Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York, has been selected as a sanctuary site for migrants by Mayor Eric Adams’s administration. City officials are awarding a $12.3 million contract for the hotel to serve as a “temporary” home for migrants under the management of St. P.A.U.L.S. Inc.
The city has allocated $1.3 billion to the Hotel Association of New York City to make blocks of rooms available to illegalaliens in Brooklyn, Queens, and The Bronx. Over 100 hotels citywide are offering rooms to migrants, many at taxpayers’ expense.
Almost 200,000 migrants are believed to have entered New York City since the spring of 2022, significantly straining public resources. A total of $2.4 billion has been carved out of the state budget to provide for them. This involves significant waste, however, with thousands of free meals for migrants winding up trashed.
Mayor Adams once boasted NYC would always be a “sanctuary city” under his leadership, praising Joe Biden for halting border wall construction. Now, he says the migrant crisis will “destroy” his city and wants to change its “sanctuary” status. He has also attacked the Biden regime for not doing enough to assist him.
It is not only the Big Apple that is struggling to deal with the border crisis. Sources in Massachusetts also describe illegals absorbing vast resources living in hotels, both material and in terms of first responders’ time — due to regular callouts involving “fights, guns, drugs, [and] overdoses.”
Migrants in Massachusetts are also given resources that might have been used to help local people, such as the historic Chelsea Old Soldiers’ Home, which formerly housed veterans.

Far-left politicians have repeatedly used sanctuary city laws in Democrat-run municipalities to shield illegal immigrant sex offenders from being turned over to federal authorities for prosecution and deportation. The National Pulse has documented several instances since President JoeBiden‘s border crisis began shortly after he took office in 2021. Many of these criminals have entered the United States directly as a result of the Biden government’s insistence on not enforcing border security measures.
In March of this year, 26-year-old Haitian national Cory Alvarez was charged in a Massachusetts state court for the rape of a 15-year-old girl in Rockland. Alvarez entered the U.S. under the Biden government’s controversial Cuban, Haitian, Nicaraguan, and Venezuelan (CHNV) parole processes.
An illegal immigrant from Guatemala, accused of multiple incidents of assault and childabuse, was able to avoid several attempts to deport him after gaming Massachusetts’s sanctuary laws to prevent being handed over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The Guatemalan national was arrested multiple times in the Lynn, Massachusetts, area between March 2022 and June 2023. After each arrest, a state court dropped the charges and released the individual before ICE could detain him and begin deportation proceedings.
The scale of the Biden government abuse of U.S. immigration laws to release dangerous individuals into the country — who are subsequently able to dodge deportation despite continuing to commit crimes — has been described as “unprecedented” by a former Clinton government immigration official. Using a 1950s parole law, President Biden had dumped over half a million illegal immigrants without visas into the U.S. by the summer of last year. An additional 168,403 immigrants were granted admission to the U.S. through the CHNV program in 2023 — with the Biden government aiming to increase that number to 360,000 per year.

Donald Trump has described migrant crime as a dangerous “new category of crime.” Last week, Chairman of the House National Security, Border, and Foreign Affairs Subcommittee Rep. Glenn Grothman confirmed that authorities are monitoring at least 617,000 illegal aliens with criminal convictions or pending charges. The National Pulse found this criminal element continued to absorb public resources over the past week, including the examples below.
THE SEX ATTACKING STRANGLER.
On Thursday, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) confirmed the apprehension of a Guatemalan illegal alien, aged 53, arrested for first-degree sexual assault in Hartford, Connecticut.
The illegal turns out to have a long history of victimizing U.S. residents dating back to 2008, having previously been convicted of offenses including second-degree strangulation, domestic assault, and driving while intoxicated.
ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) team in Boston described him as a “serious risk to the community.” He was first issued a deportation order in January 2016 but remained at large for years regardless.
RELEASED REPEATEDLY.
Also on Thursday, ICE confirmed it had finally detained a dangerous Salvadoran illegal who was repeatedly left at large by local authorities in Baltimore in defiance of ICE detainer requests.
He was first arrested for theft in 2015. His criminality dramatically escalated the following year, and he was hit with a vast array of charges: “attempted first-degree murder, con-attempted first-degree murder, attempted second-degree murder, assault first degree, assault second-degree, firearm use/felony violent crime, handgun on person, possession of firearm minor, conspiracy first-degree murder, con-assault first degree, murder first degree, and accessory after the fact murder 1st.”
ICE issued a detainer request against him, but, as with an alarming number of the subjects featured in The National Pulse’s migrant crime round-ups, local authorities refused to honor it and let him loose among the public again.
He was convicted of “accessory after the fact murder 1st” in 2017 and “dangerous weapon-conceal” in 2019. After an arrest for theft in 2023, ICE once again lodged a detainer request with local authorities, and they once again refused to honor it. ICE did not manage to apprehend him until this month.
“This is exactly the type of dangerous noncitizen offender that we need to keep off of our streets,” said an ICE spokesman. “Unfortunately two of our local jurisdictions refused to honor our requests and released him from custody,” he lamented.
VIOLENT VENEZUELAN.
ICE reported it was able to detain another criminal illegal, Brayan Freites-Macias, in New York. Like the Salvadoran above, Freites-Macias had to be tracked down after local authorities ignored detainer requests and let him loose — despite a history of assaulting New York police officers.
The Venezuelan quickly amassed a string of charges after crossing the southern border illegally in December 2023, including petit larceny, disorderly conduct, criminal trespass, second-degree robbery, and a range of assault charges, some against law enforcement officers.
However, the New York City Department of Corrections at Rikers Island refused to honor a detainer request against him. He was released on April 22. The same day, he acquired another charge for grand larceny and another ICE detainer request, which was also ignored. An ICE Fugitive Operations Team had to apprehend him in New York City themselves.
“Brayan Freites-Macias has displayed a history of violence and represented a threat to the residents of New York City,” said an ICE spokesman. “Any time local jurisdictions refuse to honor ICE detainers, they put the public at risk.”
‘SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN RELEASED.’
Yet another criminal migrant left at large among the public was confirmed to have been apprehended by ICE on Wednesday. The unnamed Ecuadoran was convicted of second-degree assault and indecent assault of a child in Connecticut. Still, local authorities refused to honor an ICE detainer request and released the pedophile in 2022 without telling ICE they had done so.
In January, he was convicted of third-degree assault and violating his probation but was again released without ICE being notified, despite a second detainer request being issued against him. ICE did not manage to detain him until April.
“This convicted sex offender presented a significant threat to the children of our Connecticut communities,” said an ICE spokesman. “This individual should never have been released back on the streets.”
WANTED RAPIST.
ICE also reported it had detained an Ecuadoran wanted for rape on Wednesday. The unnamed 30-year-old entered the U.S. lawfully on August 31, 2022, but was supposed to leave by September 13, 2022, and never did so.
It later transpired he had been wanted for rape in his home country since February 2022. ICE tracked him down in Worcester, Massachusetts, this month.
“Every minute he was walking free represented a threat to the residents of our communities,” said an ICE spokesman.
ANOTHER RELEASED PEDOPHILE.
ICE deportation officers also apprehended a Honduran pedophile, aged 30, in Maryland this month. The agency issued a detainer request against him after he was charged with “felony carnal knowledge of child” aged 13-14 in July 2023, but the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center ignored the detainer and released him on a $10,000 bond later the same month.
He was charged with two additional counts of felony carnal knowledge of a child and two counts of felony indecent liberties with a child in February 2024. He was again released, this time before a detainer request could even be issued. ICE did not track him down until April.
“This Honduran noncitizen stands accused of some very serious crimes and represented a threat to the children of the Washington, D.C. area,” said an ICE spokeswoman.
“When local jurisdictions have policies in place which prohibit them from cooperating with ICE ERO and from honoring our lawfully issued detainers and administrative warrants, they put the suspects, law enforcement officers, and most importantly, the members of our local communities at risk,” she continued.

A majority of Americans — as well as four in 10 Democrats, Latinos, and blacks and over a third of Gen Z — support the mass deportation of illegal aliens, a recent survey conducted by The Harris Poll for Axios revealed. The striking admission by the pro-mass migration Axios lays bare a growing shift in public opinion regarding immigration and indicates widespread support for the strict policies of former President Donald Trump.
The poll revealed that 51 percent of the general public supports mass deportations of illegal aliens. Although Axios did not disclose the poll’s comprehensive data, denying the public insight into the precise extent of support for mass deportations, the results they did publish suggest significant support for mass deportation across every major American demographic.
Among white Americans, support for mass deportations of illegals is at 56 percent. Forty percent of blacks favor mass deportations, as do nearly half of Latinos — 45 percent. The poll also found that 68 percent of Republicans support mass deportations of illegals, as do 46 percent of independents and 42 percent of Democrats.
Significant support for mass deportations of illegal aliens also spans generations. Sixty percent of those in the boomer generation or older support the mass deportation of illegals, as do 53 percent of Gen X and nearly half — 48 percent — of Millennials. Perhaps most surprisingly, over a third — 35 percent — of Gen Z also supports mass deportations.
“I was surprised at the public support for large-scale deportations,” Mark Penn, chairman of The Harris Poll and a former pollster for Bill Clinton, told Axios. Penn said the results are a warning to Joe Biden that “efforts to shift responsibility for the issue to Trump are not going to work.”
In an event in Iowa in September of last year, Trump declared that “a vote for President Trump means Joe Biden’s horror show at the southern border ends at high noon on Inauguration Day, 2025” and vowed to “carry out the largest domestic deportation operation in American History.”

Mass migration is causing a housing crisis while failing to increase wealth per person, according to Robert Jenrick, who resigned as Minister of State for immigration at the end of 2023. Jenrick, who previously served as Secretary of State for Housing, Communities, and Local Government under Boris Johnson, warned the British government has become “hooked” on mass migration — but it is not improving the economy and amounts to a “betrayal to voters.”
A reduction in net legal immigration “from the hundreds of thousands to the tens of thousands” was promised by Jenrick’s Conservative Party ahead of the 2010, 2015, and 2017 elections, and an “overall” reduction was promised ahead of the 2019 election. The Brexit campaign was also fought mainly on an anti-immigration basis. However, the Conservatives increased net immigration from 196,000 in 2009 to 745,000 in 2022, and illegal immigration is also at unprecedented levels.
“[T]he economic model that we’ve become hooked on isn’t working,” Jenrick admitted. “If importing hundreds of thousands of foreign workers to the UK was a route to prosperity, the UK would be one of the richest countries in the world. Instead, for almost the last two years we’ve had a recession in GDP per capita… I care about the prosperity of our own citizens, not the overall size of the economy.”
HOUSING CRISIS.
Jenrick stressed that government “modeling of the benefits of immigration has consistently overlooked the fiscal costs arising from pressure on housing, public services, and welfare.” On housing, in particular, he noted that the country currently would “have to build a house every five minutes, day and night, purely to keep up with the level of net migration to this country” — a feat that is not being accomplished, driving up home prices and rents and causing severe shortages of public housing.
The United States also suffers due to dogmatic beliefs that immigration benefits the economy. In early April, globalist media outlet Semafor argued “[t]he border crisis might be a boon for the economy,” citing an economist who formerly worked at Joe Biden’s White House.
The cost of housing, feeding, and otherwise caring for illegal aliens is costing billions of dollars across multiple states, near and far from the southern border.
