Illegal Migrant Already Deported 5 Times Rapes Disabled Woman, Says He Was Possessed by a Demon.

German Mathews, 40, an illegal immigrant who has been deported from the U.S. five times, has been sentenced to 19 years in prison. He pleaded guilty in Hamilton County Common Pleas Court to charges of rape, felonious assault, and kidnapping. Mathews was found on top of the victim by police, who were responding to a 911 call. He attempted to flee the scene but was promptly arrested. The victim, a developmentally disabled woman, endured head injuries and multiple facial fractures.

Police Sgt. Jackie Dreyer described the attack as one of the most brutal crimes she has investigated during her over 20-year career. The assault occurred on April 29, while the victim was on her way to a bus stop in Forest Park. Lawyer James Bogen reported that Mathews, intoxicated from stolen liquor, has no memory of the incident and felt “possessed by a demon” at the time of the attack, as told to authorities.

Mathews, also known as Hernan Mateos, first entered the U.S. illegally in 2005 and has been arrested multiple times since then. His convictions include driving without a valid license, disorderly intoxication, sexual battery, and false imprisonment. After a criminal complaint in July 2017, Mathews admitted to illegally crossing the Rio Grande into Texas and was fined $10. Bogen indicated that Mathews repeatedly returned to the U.S. to escape poverty.

Texas Lt. Gov. Mulls Kicking Biden Off Ballot.

Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick hinted at removing Joe Biden from the Texas ballot “for allowing eight million people to cross the border” after the all-Democrat Colorado Supreme Court removed Donald Trump from their state primary ballot for “insurrection”.

“Seeing what happened in Colorado makes me think – except we believe in democracy in Texas – maybe we should take Joe Biden off the ballot in Texas for allowing eight million people to cross the border since he’s been President, disrupting our state,” Patrick quipped.

The Colorado Supreme Court justified its ruling against Trump, in a case brought by plaintiffs supported by a George Soros-funded organization, on the basis that the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution bars anyone involved in “insurrection” or “rebellion” from high office. Despite the Colorado justices ruling 4-3 that the 45th President was culpable for Jan 6, however, he has not been convicted of any crimes related to insurrection or rebellion.

Lt. Gov. Patrick has also been taking a stand against anti-America First actors within his own state party, warning Texas House Speaker Dade Phelan, who facilitated the failed impeachment of Attorney General Ken Paxton, that his non-compliance with an audit of the sham investigation could result in prison time.

WATCH: Unbelievable Scenes as THOUSANDS of Migrants Invade U.S. Border.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is reporting a record-breaking number of border crossings, with at least 12,600 migrants breaking into the country on Monday alone. The crisis is particularly acute in Eagle Pass, Texas, where an estimated 4,000 migrants broke through.

Border officials and reporters with long experience of the frontier said they have “never seen anything like this,” sharing footage of huge crowds of migrants awaiting processing, as hundreds more continued to wade across the Rio Grande.

The crisis is so bad the CBP has taken the extraordinary step of shutting two major railway crossings at Eagle Pass and El Paso, another migrant hotspot, as many illegals have been riding railway cars to the border.

The move could deliver a significant blow to Joe Biden’s faltering economy, with Union Pacific complaining that “45 percent of all rail cars moving to and from Mexico cross through El Paso and Eagle Pass” and begging the government to reopen the crossings.

The surge comes as Texas Governor Greg Abbott has signed a new law making it a state crime to cross the border illegally, stating President Biden has dismantled the strong immigration policies implemented by Donald Trump and left Texas to “fend for itself”.

Whether or not the new law can be effectively implemented and serve as a deterrent remains to be seen, as Democrat-led El Paso County, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), and the Texas Civil Rights Project have already sued to try and overturn it.

Texas Congressman Tony Gonzalez estimated an even higher number of total crossings than the CBP on Tuesday morning, saying over 14,000 migrants had crossed the border illegally – “the HIGHEST in U.S. history.”

He predicted Christmas Day will be even worse, lamenting: “President Biden has abandoned border communities like mine.”

WATCH: Beaming Melania Trump Gives Speech on ‘Responsibility’ of Becoming a U.S. Citizen.

Former First Lady Melania Trump delivered a speech at a naturalization ceremony at the National Archives in Washington D.C. on Friday. A naturalized citizen herself, Mrs. Trump told newly-minted Americans the process they had been through was “arduous” but worthwhile. She also stressed that citizenship entailed service to the nation and its ideals.

“I was born and raised in the picturesque country of Slovenia, where my parents taught me the importance of a strong work ethic and pursuing my dreams,” she recalled.

“Upon my arrival [in New York] I immediately knew I wanted to make the United States my permanent home,” she continued, recalling the “labyrinth” of paperwork she encountered. “While challenges were numerous, the rewards were well worth the effort,” she added.

“Becoming an American citizen comes with responsibilities. It means actively participating in the democratic process and guarding our freedom. It also means leading by example and contributing to our society,” she said. “It is a life-altering experience that takes time, determination, and sometimes even tremendous strength.”

“You are now a part of a nation with a rich history of progress, innovation, and resilience… Be proud of yourselves, stand your ground, and embrace the opportunities that lie ahead,” Mrs Trump concluded.

“You are American. Be a beacon of inspiration for your children, and those who follow in your footsteps. May your journey continue to be filled with endless possibilities, and may your contributions enrich the fabric of this great nation.”

Migrant Encounters Again Exceed 10K in a Single Day.

Encounters at the U.S. southern border once again surpassed 10,000 in a single day on Tuesday, according to Customs and Border Protection (CBP) sources. Despite being lower than the record-breaking 12,000 in one day last week, the numbers continue to strain Border Patrol agents. The Tucson and Del Rio sectors reported encountering 3,000 and 2,700 migrants, respectively, each surpassing their capacities by over 200%. Agents have also been met with groups of more than 100 migrants at various locations, indicating an ongoing trend orchestrated by Transnational Criminal Organizations, a CBP agent suggested.

Lawmakers have been briefed on the daily release of 5,000 illegal immigrants into the U.S., to be added to the 1,600 migrants who are processed and released through humanitarian parole each day. Migrants arriving at ports of entry have reportedly come from over 150 countries. A notable increase was observed on Tuesday, with more than 190 Chinese nationals encountered in the San Diego sector, and over 120 nationals from Guinea encountered in the Tucson sector.

The surge in people crossing the border comes after a record year with more than 2.4 million encounters and high figures in September and October. The unseasonal upsurge continues against the trend of a drop during the winter months. As this is happening, lawmakers are debating the White House’s funding request for border measures, alongside aid for Ukraine and Israel. This new request includes $14 billion for border funding, covering migrant care, expedited removal costs, and support for overwhelmed cities.

Chicago Mayor Sues Bus Firms Driving Migrants To The Windy City.

Far-left Mayor of Chicago Brandon Johnson has filed 55 lawsuits against what he calls “rogue” bus companies transporting illegal migrants from the southern border to the city.

The suits impact 77 buses accused of violating rules brought in by Mayor Johnson in mid-November about where and when coaches can arrive. Mayor Johnson’s new rules allow for just two buses carrying migrants to arrive every hour, and state that buses can only arrive between 8 a.m. and 5:30 p.m., Monday to Friday. The rules also require buses to ask for official approval to transport migrants. The city’s Department of Transportation has yet to receive any applications, however.

Chicago, however, “continues to welcome asylum-seekers but the city cannot safely and efficiently shelter migrants when bus companies, contracted by the State of Texas, flagrantly violate all safety measures that the city has put in place,” asserts Cassio Mendoza, a spokesman for Johnson.

Nearly 25,000 illegal migrants have arrived in Chicago since August 2022. City officials have been forced to build a winterized “base camp” for migrants living on the streets as well as clandestine facilities to hide the recent influx from local residents.

Scotland’s Pakistani ‘First Minister’ Unilaterally Held Anti-Israel Talks With Turkey’s Erdogan, Against UK Policy.

Scottish First Minister Humza Yousaf has sparked a diplomatic row by holding an unauthorized meeting with the Turkish president. Yousaf, roughly equivalent to a U.S. state governor, is a Pakistani-heritage Muslim. He has been pushing the British government to back an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, and import thousands of Gazan refugees. Turkey’s Recep Tayyip Erdogan, nominally a NATO ally, also backs a ceasefire. He has branded the West’s support for Israel against Hamas “barbaric”.

By discussing a ceasefire with Erdogan at the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP28), Yousaf breached diplomatic protocol. Foreign policy and defense are reserved to the British central government. Yousaf, as head of the devolved Scottish government, should not have met a foreign government representative without British government officials present.

With Yousaf’s party being left-separatist, it has long attempted to set up a parallel foreign policy. Foreign Secretary (Secretary of State) David Cameron has threatened to expel Scottish government officials from Foreign Office premises over the Erdogan breach, however.

Yousaf is no stranger to controversy in British politics. He swore his oath of allegiance in the Scottish Parliament in Urdu, the official language of his family’s native Pakistan. He also railed against the number of white people in Scotland while he was the government minister responsible for justice matters.

Even Leftist Governments Around the World Are Moving to Slash Migration.

Leftist governments in Denmark and Australia are adopting a more hardline stance on immigration than many notionally conservative governments. Australia’s governing Labor Party has pledged to cut net immigration in half. Denmark’s Social Democrats have pledged zero net immigration, a.k.a. balanced immigration.

Australia, with a population of only around 25 million, suffered net immigration of around 510,000 in the year to June. The government has conceded the system is “broken” and “in tatters” – blaming the previous center-right government. They say they will reduce it to around 250,000 by June 2025.

There is growing acknowledgment that an ongoing housing crisis cannot be resolved if mass migration continues at current levels.

Denmark, a generous welfare state, is going even further. They aim to balance the number of people entering the country against the number of people leaving, with the government insisting: “If you want to be a party of the working class and middle class, you have to ensure that migration has a manageable level.”

Social Democrat lawmaker Rasmus Stoklund explained his party’s increasingly anti-immigration stance is the true left-wing position.

“The part of society that bears the brunt of unchecked migration is the working-class population that we should be representing,” he said. “It is their children who have to go to schools that experience cultural clashes. It is those people who have to experience the criminality and social problems that follow. The more privileged people in society will only meet migrants if they are the children of diplomats, so for them the issue is not so clear.”

Denmark is also taking radical action to integrate the existing migration background population. Vollsmose, a notorious suburban “no go zone”, is being bulldozed, to help integrate its predominantly “non-Western” residents.

Study: Mass Migration Cost The Netherlands Nearly Half A Trillion Dollars Between 1995 and 2019.

Mass immigration has cost the Netherlands and Dutch taxpayers a staggering €400 billion ($430 billion) between 1995 and 2019, according to a study conducted by researchers at the University of Amsterdam, who had “access to unique, anonymized microdata from Statistics Netherlands.”

The study, entitled “Borderless Welfare State: The Consequences of Immigration for Public Finances,” shows that migrants took €17 billion more out of the Dutch welfare state than they contributed on average every year for a quarter of a century.

The largest figure was €32 billion in 2016 as a result of Angela Merkel’s open-door migration policies. The money spent on migrants that year was more than what the Dutch government spent on the country’s entire education system.

The authors found that migrants from the Middle East and North Africa never achieve a positive fiscal contribution to the Dutch economy, with migrants receiving significantly more welfare than the native Dutch population. Only Asians offered a small net contribution.

Moroccan nationals were found to cost the Netherlands €260,000 per person over their lifetime, followed by Turkish nationals, who cost €200,000. Other African nationals cost an average €180,000.

Notably, they also suggested the universal claim that “it will all work out with the second generation” does not hold weight. Instead, if people are born into families were produce a negative net contribution, they are unlikely to make a positive one.

The nearly half a trillion euro costs “are mainly the result of redistribution through the welfare state,” the authors argue. “Government spending on immigrants is now above average for items such as education, social security and benefits.”

Migrants failing to make a positive net fiscal contribution is not limited to the Netherlands; on the contrary, Germany is set to spend €36 billion on migrants this year alone, with the French similarly expected to pay €25 billion.

San Antonio Operating ‘Secret Migrant Camp’ With Taxpayer Funds.

Hundreds of newly arrived migrants have been living in a “secret migrant camp” at San Antonio Airport in Texas for more than half a year, according to reports, which found the existence of the facility was kept hidden from local officials in the area despite taxpayers funding its operation.

The camp, located in an empty airport hanger, has hosted migrants bussed to the city from the southern border, with migrants spending anywhere between hours and even days in the facility. It is believed up to 400 migrants sleep in the hangar every evening, including women and children.

San Antonio city, although long having guarded the secret of its existence closely, admitted to the Daily Mail that it has been managing the facility since May. It refused to reveal how much money has been spent on the facility.

The hanger is run by the charity Interfaith Welcome Coalition (IWC), which describes itself as a “faith-based movement meeting the changing needs of asylum seekers, refugees and at-risk immigrants in collaboration with others.”

Tori Salas, the coordinating director of the IWC, claims the facility is a “hidden area where they take the migrants… basically until four or hours before they fly.”

One San Antonio City Councillor, Marc Whyte, told the newspaper the city council never authorized those in charge of the hanger to use public funds. “When I found out about this, I lost my mind,” Whyte stated.

“What the hell is going on next to the airport? Any expansion of migrant holding facilities I, of course, am adamantly against,” he added.
