Biden Campaign Co-Chair Claims Deporting Illegals Will Harm America.

Democratic Texas Representative Veronica Escobar claimed there would be dangerous economic repercussions for deporting illegal immigrants. Appearing Friday on CNN Newsroom With Jim Acosta, the co-chair of President Joe Biden’s 2024 re-election campaign criticized former President Donald Trump for calling for the deportation of illegal immigrants.

“Democrats have been willing over the decades to not just address border security as a whole, but also to address our workforce needs and to make sure that we remain a country of immigrants,” Rep. Escobar told Acosta before adding: “Immigration is good for us economically.”

Escobar called former President Trump’s pledge to deport illegal immigrants “horrific” before claiming Trump wants to “take us back to an era where people feared being in their own country simply because they belong to a minority group.” The Biden campaign official insisted that “it is impossible to deport every undocumented person in this country.”

Illegal immigration has increased at an alarming rate under the Biden government. President Biden’s initial acts in office included repealing several Trump-era border policies, such as the Muslim travel ban and the Border Wall project.

The ongoing border crisis has become a top issue heading into November’s presidential election. Polling has consistently indicated voters overwhelmingly believe Trump is best suited to end the border invasion.

U.S. Sees 167% Increase in Migrant Population Under Biden, Surpassing 8 Million.

U.S. government data indicates a significant increase in the migrant population residing within the country, with numbers expected to reach eight million by the end of September — a 167 percent increase over the last five years.

The surge is attributed to the ongoing border crisis that saw over six million asylum seekers and other migrants released from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody and listed on the “non-detained docket” by the conclusion of fiscal year 2023 on September 30. Department of Homeland Security documents sent to Congress anticipate a further increase to the aforementioned eight million by October 1.

Among the migrants caught in the backlog limbo, an estimated 2 million people — a quarter of the total number — are either slated for deportation or facing criminal charges, while others are awaiting final decisions on their asylum applications.

In December 2023 alone, over 302,000 migrants attempted illegal entry into the U.S., marking an all-time high for a single month and the first time the number surpassed 300,000.

The Biden regime faces continued criticism for its mishandling of the ongoing border crisis, which some argue the government has intentionally exacerbated. In February, it was revealed that most of the jobs’ gains’ under President Biden were the result of migrant labor.

University of Florida Lays Off All DEI Staff.

The University of Florida (UF) announced that it is dissolving its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, firing all relevant staff on Friday. The news was circulated via email, informing the UF community that anyone associated with DEI duties would be dismissed.

University officials stated it had closed its “Office of the Chief Diversity Officer, eliminated DEI positions and administrative appointments, and halted DEI-focused contracts with outside vendors” to comply with a Florida Board of Governors regulation banning DEI expenditures at Florida’s public universities.

In a significant shift of resources, UF plans to reroute the roughly fifty million dollars previously earmarked for DEI expenses, which incorporated both salaries and outlays. The email stated that the funds would be “reallocated into a faculty recruitment fund to be ministered by the Office of the Provost.”

The Florida Board of Governors passed regulation 9.016, which bans DEI spending after Gov. Ron DeSantis signed Senate Bill 266 in May 2023. The bill “prohibits a university or university direct-sport organization from expending state or federal funds, regardless of source, to promote, support, or maintain any programs or campus activities that… Advocate for diversity, equity, and inclusion, or promote or engage in political or social activism, as defined by rules of the State Board of Education and regulations of the Board of Governors.”

CVS, Walgreens to Dispense Abortion Pill Mifepristone.

Two of the largest drugstore chains in the U.S. have announced their plans to dispense mifepristone — an abortion pill — in select states within weeks. CVS Health will begin providing the abortifacient at their pharmacies in Rhode Island and neighboring Massachusetts, with Walgreens rolling out its dispensing services in specific locations in New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, California, and Illinois.

A spokesman for Walgreens said the decision to make mifepristone available in only a few states was to “ensure quality, safety, and privacy for our patients, providers, and team members.” A spokeswoman for CVS Health said the drug would be made available in additional states “where allowed by law, on a rolling basis.”

President Joe Biden called the companies’ announcements an “important milestone” in ensuring access to abortion. He encouraged other pharmacies to seek certification to offer the drug. The decision by CVS and Walgreens comes over a year after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) expanded the availability of abortion pills to include large pharmacy chains and mail-order companies.

The FDA first approved mifepristone in 2000 to terminate pregnancies up to 10 weeks, in combination with a secondary drug, misoprostol. The distribution of these drugs was — until recently — limited to specialized clinics and offices due to safety precautions. Presently, the U.S. Supreme Court is considering a challenge from conservative groups to reverse mifepristone’s approval or modify policies that facilitate its acquisition.

Senator Bob Menendez’s Co-Defendant Pleads Guilty To Federal Charges.

New Jersey insurance broker Jose Uribe — an associate of Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) — pleaded guilty to seven charges on Friday, including bribery, obstruction of justice, and tax evasion. Uribe’s plea was preceded by a superseding indictment brought forth by the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York. Uribe had initially pleaded not guilty to the charges in September.

Federal prosecutors allege Uribe participated in a protracted bribery scheme alongside Sen. Menendez, Menendez’s wife Nadine, and two additional associates. Uribe is suspected of providing a Mercedes-Benz to Nadine Menendez as quid pro quo for the Senator’s influence in aiding a Uribe-related individual in a criminal investigation. Additionally, Uribe was accused of obstructing justice by instructing his then-legal counsel to deceive the U.S. Attorney’s office over the car payments, erroneously presenting them as loans in an attempt to block a federal investigation.

The indictment also alleges the Menendez associate engaged in tax evasion, stating Uribe formed a series of business entities known as Nominee Companies in other people’s names from 2016 through 2021. It is claimed that Uribe received income through these entities but failed to disclose these earnings to the IRS. His sentencing is slated for June 14th.

Despite the mounting charges against himself and his associates, Sen. Menendez has refused calls for resignation from Congress but has stepped down as chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

James Biden Confirms Chinese Origin of $40K Check He Wrote To His Brother, President Joe Biden.

James Biden, the brother of President Joe Biden, acknowledged during his recent impeachment inquiry testimony that he had written a $40,000 check to former Vice President Joe Biden in 2017 using funds obtained from a company with alleged links to the Chinese government. During the February 21st interview with Members of Congress, James Biden admitted that the funds originated from Beijing-controlled CEFC China Energy.

Bank records subpoenaed for the investigation showed just $46.88 remaining in James Biden’s bank account before he received a $50,000 payment, days before the $40,000 check went to his brother Joe. The source of the $50,000 was traced back to Lion Hall Group, an entity owned by James Biden. His lawyer, Paul Fishman, argued that tracing the exact origin of the money was complicated due to its fungible nature.

Evidence was presented that, between November 2022 and July 2023, James Biden received $840,000 in four separate transfers from Argentinian businessman Jose Luis Manzano. According to Biden, the amount was paid for half of his stake in Manzano’s holdings in Argentinian natural gas company Metrogas. Manzano had tasked James Biden with managing an effort to attract Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim to invest in Argentina’s 4G network. Slim ultimately declined Biden’s investment offer.

The impeachment inquiry testimony also shed light on additional international business schemes by James Biden. He disclosed that in 2018, he made a $200,000 loan repayment to Joe Biden using funds obtained from financially distressed rural hospital company Americore. James Biden said he used the loan from his brother to secure investment from Qatar for infrastructure projects, including hotel construction in Miami.

Alex Soros Met With Biden Advisor Jake Sullivan Days Before Billionaire Father Made Election Contribution.

Alex Soros, son of globalist billionaire and Democrat megadonor George Soros, attended several meetings at the White House in late November, just days before George Soros contributed $350,000 to support the reelection of President Joe Biden, according to campaign finances records.

White House visitor logs indicate Alex Soros met with National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan on November 22 and with Rachel Chiu of the White House Office of Political Strategy and energy adviser Amos Hochstein the day prior.

Soros serves as the chair of his billionaire father’s Open Society Foundations, a network of non-profit groups pushing a progressive policy agenda worldwide. He was named one of the World Economic Forum’s Young Global Leaders in 2018.

Open Society Foundations holds significant political influence in the Biden government. Most recently, the Soros political network has pushed for a ceasefire in Gaza – accusing Israel of committing alleged war crimes in response to the Hamas terrorist attack on October 7th. While acknowledging Israel has a duty to protect its citizens, the organization claims the Jewish State has engaged in violations of international humanitarian law.

According to records, Alex Soros has made 25 visits to the Biden White House. Notably, he was accompanied by Open Society Foundations special adviser Yasin Yaqubie during his meeting with Jake Sullivan and by Michael Vachon – a longtime aide to George Soros – during his meeting with Rachel Chiu.

POLITICO Reporter Apologizes After Smearing Christians, U.S. Founding.

POLITICO reporter Heidi Przybyla issued a public apology on Thursday for insisting those who believe their rights come from God are “extremists” and “Christian nationalists.” Przybyla’s apology was published in response to a letter sent to POLITICO‘s leadership by two national Christian organizations.

The Family Research Council and Catholic Vote criticized Przybyla for exhibiting what they deemed as a “disqualifying lack of knowledge of the United States of America’s founding documents and a profoundly prejudicial view toward American religious groups.”

In her written apology, Przybyla attempted to clarify her comments — stressing the difference between Christianity as a religion and Christian Nationalism as a political movement. She admitted to her responsibility as a reporter to use words with precision and expressed remorse for falling short in her recent reporting and media appearances.

“Many people have views about our rights as Americans that would coincide with those of many of our nation’s founders,” she wrote, noting that the Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. was also an advocate of natural rights. Przybyla has repeatedly insinuated that conservatives who make appeals to natural rights are pushing a “Christian nationalist” agenda.

Despite acknowledging her original mistake, Przybyla insisted she does not harbor a “bias against religion.” She said that a pluralistic society should appreciate that both sides of policy debates may possess religious or idealistic convictions. This response, however, has received mixed reactions.

The Family Research Council President Tony Perkins and Catholic Vote President Brian Burch referred to Przybyla’s comments as “deeply disturbing” in their open letter to POLITICO. They argue her words were more calculated than “clumsy” and call for POLITICO to address what they perceive as religious hostility.

GA House Passes Bill Requiring Cops to Detain All Illegals in Wake of Laken Riley Murder.

Georgia House Republicans approved a bill Thursday requiring all eligible police and sheriff’s departments to assist in the identification, arrest, and detention of illegal aliens for deportation. House Bill 1105 passed the House with a 97-74 vote and came in response to the brutal murder of University of Georgia nursing student Laken Riley. The bill will now proceed to the Georgia Senate for additional debate. If passed and signed into law, it will effectively make ‘sanctuary’ cities and counties illegal in Georgia.

Riley was murdered by 26-year-old illegal alien Jose Ibarra. Riley, a nursing student at Augusta University’s Athens campus, was found dead on February 22 after a reported failure to return from a morning run. According to immigration authorities, Ibarra unlawfully entered the United States in 2022.

The bill, if passed, will also introduce new directives for jail officials regarding their interaction with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to verify an individual’s immigration status. Sheriffs failing to check immigration status could be charged with a misdemeanor under the new law. Additionally, state funding would be denied to prisons and sheriffs not in compliance.

The city of Athens and its surrounding county are alleged to be ‘sanctuary’ jurisdictions. Athens-Clarke County Sheriff John Williams campaigned on an explicit promise to refuse to cooperate with ICE.

NYC Rents Skyrocket As City Flooded By Illegal Immigrants.

Despite a nationwide trend of declining rental costs, New Yorkers continue to wrestle with soaring rents as illegal immigrants flood the city. The city’s situation contrasts with the nationwide trend, where year-over-year rent changes have either remained stable or declined for five consecutive months, primarily due to an increase in the creation of new rental units. Rents across the U.S. fell 0.7 percent this month compared to last year.

However, February saw an 18 percent surge in one-bedroom rentals in New York City, pushing the average price to a record peak of $4,200. Even in Jersey City, situated across the Hudson River from Manhattan, the median cost of rent rose 5.4 percent to $3,140. The spike in housing costs has stunned some New Yorkers who expected rents to fall as usual in the late fall and winter. Despite historic trends, the cost of housing in the Big Apple has continued to increase apace.

Heightening the housing crisis in New York City, around 200,000 illegal immigrants have arrived in the metro area via bus from the southern border over the past 18 months. This situation has ignited protests in Harlem, where locals recently discovered the city’s plans to convert a luxury building into a shelter for the rapidly ballooning number of illegal immigrants in the city.
