❓What Happened: An activist identified her illegal immigrant status during a rally, sparking calls for her deportation.

👥 Who’s Involved: Greisa Martinez Rosas, a DACA recipient and activist; critics and supporters of President Donald J. Trump.

📍 Where & When: Washington, D.C., at the ‘Hands Off!’ rally on Saturday.

💬 Key Quote: “I am an immigrant, I am undocumented, unafraid, queer, and unashamed,” said Rosas at the rally.

⚠️ Impact: Online backlash ensued, with demands for her deportation and attention from Trump administration officials.

IN FULL:

In Washington, D.C., during the ‘Hands Off!’ rally against deportations, activist Greisa Martinez Rosas openly boasted about her illegal immigrant status, leading to calls online for her deportation. Rosas, affiliated with United We Dream, a large youth immigrant organization, characterized herself to the crowd of over 10,000 as “undocumented, unafraid, queer, and unashamed,” stirring a loud response from supporters and detractors alike.

Rosas arrived in the United States from Hidalgo, Mexico, as a minor, and has made a career out of advocating for immigrant rights. Her boasting about her illegal status was met with immediate backlash from America First supporters online, with some directing their comments to Tom Homan, the Trump administration’s border czar, in pressing for her removal from the country.

Her work as the executive director of United We Dream, which boasts a membership exceeding 400,000, aligns with her activism background, which dates back to organizing student protests in 2006. Martinez Rosas benefits from the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) scheme, which allows her certain temporary protections and a renewable work permit despite her lack of formal documentation.

Her activism drew national attention during the rally, one of many across over 1,200 U.S. locations, in protest of Trump’s deportation efforts and related socio-political grievances involving immigration. Alongside her in-person and social media campaigning for various leftist causes, Rosas has contributed opinion pieces to The New York Times.

Senate Dems Urge Biden to Bolster Protections for Illegals Against Trump Deportations.

Joe Biden is under mounting pressure from Senate Democrats to extend deportation protections for certain illegal immigrants. The incoming Trump White House plans to initiate a mass deportation campaign next year.

Senators Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV), Ben Ray Luján (D-NM), and Alex Padilla (D-CA) held a press conference this week urging Biden to take action on behalf of immigrants currently under Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). A number of open borders activists joined the Democrat senators.

TPS grants work permits and protection from deportation to nationals from countries deemed unsafe for return, while DACA shields immigrants brought to the U.S. as children. The Trump administration plans to let TPS expire for many countries, including Haiti. The Biden government’s broad use of TPS has often been criticized as a backdoor open-border policy. In the House, a bill introduced by Senator-elect Jim Banks (R-IN) aims to restrict TPS. If passed, it will require congressional approval for 12-month terms and additional measures for extensions.

Sen. Cortez Masto emphasized the president’s authority to provide immigrant communities with certainty, warning of “chaotic” immigration policies from the next administration. Sen. Padilla highlighted the importance of using this moment to protect immigrants who allegedly strengthen the economy.

The Supreme Court blocked previous attempts by the Trump administration to end DACA, leaving the matter still under judicial consideration.

The National Pulse has reported that a majority of Americans support President-elect Donald J. Trump’s mass deportation plan.

Americans Need Not Apply: A Taxpayer-Funded Group In This State Is Subsidizing Non-Citizen Homebuyers Only.

A taxpayer-funded group is subsidizing noncitizens looking to purchase a home. The Hacienda Community Development Corporation (Hacienda CDC)—through its Camino a Casa program—is offering $30,000 for qualified homebuyers in Oregon, with the only catch being that they cannot be U.S. citizens.

A social media user named Oregon Citizen shared screenshots on X (formerly Twitter) of a Hacienda CDC fact sheet detailing the program. According to the screenshots, the $30,000 is available as a grant for first-time homebuyers with pre-approval for a mortgage loan in Oregon. Noncitizens can use the grant for a down payment, buy-downs of interest rates, or closing costs.

The fact sheet clearly states that the program is only for noncitizens, including illegal immigrants. “Eligible citizenship statuses: non-U.S. citizens, undocumented persons, DACA recipients, refugee asylees, immigrants, VAWA petitioners, ITIN holders, COFA individuals, TPS recipients,” the document reads.

Meanwhile, some Oregon lawmakers have expressed criticism of the program for excluding native-born and naturalized citizens. “Oregon has a severe housing shortage, and it’s troubling that taxpayer dollars are being restricted to specific groups while many American citizens struggle to find homes,” said Oregon State Representative Ed Diehl (R) in a recent interview.

DISCRIMINATORY PROGRAM.

Hacienda CDC’s funding partly comes from the Economic Equity Investment Program (EEIP), established by the Economic Equity Investment Act (SB 1579) enacted by the Oregon legislature in 2022. The EEIP initially received a $15 million allocation to support equity-based initiatives for home purchases, business creation, and building generational wealth. In 2024, an additional $8 million was allocated to organizations, including Hacienda CDC, providing culturally responsive services for economic stability and equity for supposedly disadvantaged individuals and communities.

The EEIP stipulates that recipients should not face discrimination based on protected class considerations. However, critics suggest that the program’s design inherently involves discriminatory practices by targeting noncitizens and specific racial groups. Andrew Quinio, an attorney at the Pacific Legal Foundation, noted concerns over the constitutionality of such programs in Oregon, suggesting that they could violate residents’ rights due to their racially discriminatory nature.

Oregon’s lack of affordable housing is at crisis levels, with only 19 percent of residents in the Portland metro area able to afford a median-priced home, according to recent data from the Oregon Office of Economic Analysis.

80,000 ‘Dreamer’ Illegals, Offered New Protections by Biden, Had Arrest Records Within 5 Years.

Newly released U.S. Immigration and Customs Service (USCIS) data reveals nearly 80,000 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) illegals had arrest records within the program’s first five years. Most of these so-called “Dreamers” were aged 19 to 22 at the time of arrest.

Joe Biden recently announced expanded deportation protections and job opportunities for DACA recipients on the 12th anniversary of the program instituted under the Obama-Biden administration. Critics argue that the program’s leniency towards illegals brought to the U.S. as minors, even if they have criminal histories, jeopardizes national security and public safety.

From June 2012 to October 2019, USCIS received 888,818 DACA applications and approved 765,166. An astonishing 10.38 percent of approved applications (79,398) had prior arrests. Some recipients had extensive arrest records, including 41 recipients with over ten arrests and 963 with five.

Thousands had convictions for assault, battery, drug crimes, and drunk driving. Illegal alien drivers frequently kill American citizens, including children, as The National Pulse recounts in its regular migrant crime round-ups.

Most DACA requesters with arrest records came from Mexico, El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala, Brazil, and Peru.

Biden is not only expanding deportation protections for DACA recipients. He is also offering protection from deportation and a path to citizenship for as many as half a million illegal alien spouses of U.S. citizens—a policy that will encourage sham marriages, denounced as a shameless attempt to “buy” more minority votes.

Most Americans believe Biden is intentionally “encouraging” illegal immigration to “create a permanent majority” for the Democrats over time.

DACA Recipient Arrested on Human Smuggling Charges.

A Mexican national in the United States under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program was arrested on human smuggling charges, according to a social media post by a U.S. Border Patrol official. Gregory K. Bovino, Chief Patrol Agent of the Border Patrol’s El Centro Sector, said the suspect was returned to his home country following apprehension. El Centro Sector covers 70 miles of the U.S.-Mexico border in Southern California’s Imperial Valley.

The DACA policy, introduced by former President Barack Obama in 2012, was declared illegal by a federal judge in September. The judge, however, issued no directive to cease the program. Serving roughly 830,000 individuals, the DACA program grants certain privileges to non-citizens as long as the recipient maintains lawful conduct.

United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data indicates that nearly 380,000 illegal immigrants were encountered at the U.S.-Mexico border within the first two months of fiscal year 2024, beginning on October 1, 2023. This follows 2,045,838 encounters in fiscal year 2023, 2,206,436 in fiscal year 2022, and 1,659,206 in fiscal year 2021. Former President Donald Trump has called the border crisis — ignored and arguably facilitated by the Biden government — an “invasion.”

Earlier this week, the U.S. Supreme Court sided with the Biden government, permitting Border Patrol officers to remove concertina wire installed along Texas’s border with Mexico. Texas Governor Greg Abbott erected the fencing in response to the Biden administration’s lack of border security enforcement.

Fox/Univision Promoted Illegal Migrant Amnesty at GOP Debate.

Fox and Univision swerved even further to the left last night, with the network pushing the idea of implementing a mass amnesty for illegal aliens and finding a “solution” for so-called “Dreamers” at the latest GOP primary debate.

Moderator Ilia Calderón, a foreign journalist, introduced a truncated clip of Ronald Reagan talking about an amnesty for illegal aliens in 1984, ultimately extended to some three million migrants three years later.

Addressing Chris Christie specifically, the Colombian noted he had supported a so-called “path to citizenship” for illegal aliens as Governor of New Jersey, only to change his position during his failed presidential run in 2016. “Where do you stand now on a path to citizenship on 11 million of undocumented immigrants [sic]?” she asked.

The segment confirmed news Fox was attempting to “shift candidates to the left” on immigration first broken by The National Pulse editor-in-chief, who warned conservatives the network intended to try and use old footage of Ronald Reagan to bolster its pro-amnesty agenda.

While Christie dodged the question, Calderón was back to pushing similar talking points later in the debate, insisting that Dreamers – illegal aliens brought to the United States as youths and granted status under Barack Obama’s unlawful Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) policy – “work  and pay taxes”, and asking Mike Pence if he would “work with Congress to reach a permanent solution for Dreamers.”

Like Christie, Pence did not answer the question, resorting to vague platitudes about “our broken immigration system” before moving on to irrelevant commentary on China and spending levels in Florida under Ron DeSantis.
