A Californiabill aimed at helping illegalaliens become homeowners is progressing in the Democrat-dominated state legislature. The California Senate Appropriations Committee—comprised of five Democrats and just two Republicans—advanced AB 1840 along partisan lines, which amends the California Dream for All Shared Appreciation Loan program so it applies to foreigners.
The bill, authored by Assemblymember Joaquin Arambula (D), facilitates access to down payment assistance for illegalaliens. The program would provide illegals up to 20 percent of a home’s purchase price as a down payment loan for first-time buyers. These loans neither accrue interest nor require monthly payments. Borrowers repay the original loan amount plus 20 percent of any increase in home value when the primary mortgage is refinanced or the house is sold.
“The social and economic benefits of homeownership should be available to everyone. As such, the California Dream for All Program should be available to all,” stated Arambula.
Critics argue that the bill prioritizes illegals over American citizens amid a significant budget shortfall. San Diego County Supervisor Jim Desmond expressed concerns about California’s $60 billion deficit and labeled the bill as fiscally irresponsible.
The bill requires approval from the Democrat-supermajority state Senate and Governor Gavin Newsom.
In Oregon, California’s northern neighbor, the taxpayer-funded Hacienda Community Development Corporation (Hacienda CDC) is already subsidizing noncitizen home purchases.

The primary suspect in the mass stabbing attack in the German city of Solingen, a 26-year-old Syrian identified as Issa Al H., was scheduled for deportation last year. German authorities, however, failed to remove him.
German media reported that the Syrian had first entered the European Union (EU) through Bulgaria, passing through several safe countries en route to Germany. Subsequently, Germany refused his asylum claim last year, planning to send him back to Bulgaria under EU rules, which allow for the removal of illegal immigrants back to the first EU member they entered.
However, Issa Al H. disappeared just before his scheduled deportation. After he reappeared months later, he was “redistributed” to Solingen rather than removed.
He allegedly murdered three people in a mass stabbing attack at a diversity festival in the city on Friday. The Islamic State has taken credit for the killings.
While the Solingen attack appears to be terrorism-related, knife attacks have become more and more common in Germany in general, with the German federal government proposing restrictions on the length of blades that can be carried in public. Even German media admits that the real problem is not how long knives are but the fact much of the knife crime is being committed by migrants. Migrants are behind around 58.5 percent of all of the violent crime that takes place in Germany, according to police statistics.

The Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) has created an interactive map showing the sanctuary states, cities, and counties established across the United States. Illegal aliens are encouraged to settle in these areas, where state and local authorities limit cooperation with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other federal bodies responsible for immigration control and deportations.
Courts and other authorities in sanctuary jurisdictions often ignore detainers lodged by ICE against migrants charged or convicted of crimes, resulting in criminal aliens being let loose among the public after leaving jail or prison.
Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris, a former Senator and Attorney General for the sanctuary state of California, has been one of ICE’s fiercest critics, comparing their work to the actions of the Ku Klux Klan when she was a legislator.
A complete list of sanctuary states, cities, and counties identified by the CIS is provided under the map below. An interactive version of the map is available on the CIS website.

Hungary is threatening to send migrants directly to the European Union (EU) capital of Brussels, Belgium if disputes with the EU over penalties imposed on Hungary for controlling its borders are not resolved. The European Court of Justice (ECJ) has imposed a €200 million (~$222.5 million) penalty and a daily fine of €1 million (~$1.1 million) on Hungary for turning away illegal immigrants at its border instead of allowing them to claim asylum.
Gergely Gulyas, who heads Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s office, says negotiations with the European Commission will begin in September. He warns that failure to reach an agreement will result in Hungary issuing “one-way tickets to Brussels” for migrants. Gulyas wants a swift resolution to the dispute to avoid daily fines piling up.
The European Commission has not commented on Gulyas’s remarks.
The current situation mirrors tensions in the United States, where pro-borders Texas is bussing illegal immigrants to states like New York, where state officials oppose a border wall construction and promote “sanctuary” policies.
The row is just the latest between the EU and Hungary. Orbán’s government also faces pushback from the bloc for a law banning the promotion of LGBT ideology to children in schools and media.
The EU is also clashing with Bulgaria over new legislation along similar lines.

Former President Donald J. Trump invited the mothers of Rachel Morin and Jocelyn Nungaray, both murdered by illegal aliens, to share their stories at a press conference at the U.S.-Mexico border in Arizona on Thursday.
Rachel’s mother, Patty, tearfully described how her daughter, herself a mother of five children, was “brutally beaten, raped, and then stuffed into a drain pipe,” allegedly by a Salvadoran gang member almost 2,000 miles from the southern border in Maryland.
“We should be taking care of our country, our people, and the only way I believe that’s going to happen is if President Trump is reelected,” she said.
“[Trump] needs to be in office, and we need better control, and we need to stop this. We need to stop losing children, mothers, sisters, because now I get to grieve every single day,” concurred Alexis Nungaray, whose daughter Jocelyn, aged just 12, was raped, murdered, and thrown in a creek in Houston, Texas.
The Biden-Harris regime had released the suspects in the case from detention just weeks prior.
THE CHOICE.
“The choice is simple: Kamala’s mass amnesty of criminals or President Trump’s mass deportation of criminals,” Trump said of the decision facing American voters in November.
Vice President Harris, who was supposed to tackle the “root causes” of illegal immigration under Biden but has presided over record-breaking border crossings, has previously likened U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) for its deportation work. She also opposes completing Trump’s border wall.
Speaking on illegal immigration in Arizona herself on August 10, Harris paid lip service to “strong border security”—which she has not delivered—but stressed her belief in a so-called “earned pathway to citizenship” for illegals. This could only incentivize even more illegal immigration by rewarding potentially millions of illegals who entered the country with legal status.

Illegal migrant arrivals from Africa surged to unprecedented levels in Spain during the first half of August. Data from the Spanish Interior Ministry shows a sharp increase of 126 percent in the Canary Islands, off the African coast, and a 143 percent rise in Ceuta, a Spanish exclave on the coast of North Africa.
In July, Fernando Clavijo—the Canary Islands’ regional leader from a coalition of center-right parties—appealed to Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez and the European Union (EU) for urgent intervention regarding migration. From January to mid-August, the Canary Islands recorded 22,304 irregular arrivals, up 126.1 percent from the same period the previous year.
While the numbers are small compared to the millions of migrants penetrating the U.S. southern border, they are transformative for the islands’ relatively small population, which includes thousands of British and German retirees. The majority of the illegals originate from Mauritania and the Sahel region, spanning the southern Sahara from the Atlantic Ocean to the Red Sea. Violence in the region, where American influence is waning under the Biden-Harris government, is spurring large movements of migrants.
From January to August, 31,155 illegal migrants arrived in Spain, representing a 66.2 percent increase compared to the same period last year. Most of these migrants, approximately 29,512 individuals, arrived by sea on small boats. Spain remains a critical entry point to the European Union (EU) for migrants, particularly those from West African countries navigating the dangerous Atlantic route to the Canary Islands and those seeking to break into the exclaves of Ceuta and Melilla through Morocco.
The growing migrant numbers have prompted calls for action from the leader of the opposition People’s Party, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, who requested the government declare a “migratory emergency.” The populist VOX party also frequently criticizes Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez’s far-left government on border security.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has apprehended an illegal alien wanted for 23 murders in his home country. The Peruvian gang leader, identified as 38-year-old Gianfranco, was captured on Wednesday in Endicott, New York.
Torres-Navarro had been let loose among American citizens by the Biden-Harris government on May 16 after illegally crossing into Texas. Peruvian authorities say he is the leader of the criminal organization “Los Killers,” which specializes in contract killings and extortion.
“It should alarm every American that a Peruvian gang leader, who has murdered 23 people, crossed our border and was released into the country. The Biden-Harris Administration’s open border policies are terrorizing our communities,” said House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA).
ICE field officer director Thomas P. Brophy said of the arrest: “Gianfranco Torres-Navarro poses a significant threat to our communities, and we won’t allow New York to be a safe haven for dangerous noncitizens.”
However, many Democrat officials in the Empire State refuse to cooperate with ICE. New York Police Department (NYPD) Chief of Patrol John Chell recently expressed frustration at dealing with two migrants accused of raping a woman in Brooklyn. One of them had been released from jail despite a previous arrest for a shelter rape.
Mayor Eric Adams blamed the city’s sanctuary laws for the situation, saying, “Laws do not allow us to coordinate with ICE. That’s the law. And, you know I’m not happy about that.”
In 2021, Adams vowed New York would “remain a sanctuary city” under his watch. He also praised Joe Biden and Kamala Harris for blocking the completion of former President Donald J. Trump’s border wall, making it easier for criminal aliens to enter the U.S.

According to internal Department of Homeland Security (DHS) documents, the Biden-Harris government is expediting the processing of asylum seekers at the U.S.-Canada border. This follows a surge in northern migrant crossings.
The should involve changes to the operation of the “Safe Third Country” asylum agreement between the U.S. and Canada. Migrants subject to the agreement are supposed to be barred from seeking asylum in the U.S. and can be sent back to Canada, which provides ample safe refuge opportunities. Likewise, Canada can also return asylum seekers crossing into its territory from the U.S.
DHS aims to streamline the implementation of the Safe Third Country Agreement, as migrants often delay returns by consulting with lawyers at length and spending time trying to build a case that they are exempt from the agreement’s terms. However, the agency insists the changes will not compromise migrants’ right to a full asylum review.
In fiscal year 2024, 16,500 migrants were apprehended after crossing the U.S.-Canada border illegally, an increase from 10,000 in 2023 and 2,200 in 2022. This is the highest recorded number for the northern frontier.
The resources allocated to the 5,500-mile northern border are much smaller than those allocated to the southern border, which has seen millions of illegal crossings under the Biden-Harris government.
Nevertheless, the Canadian frontier is still a point of vulnerability, with U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s Terrorist Screening Dataset (TSDS) recording that almost 86 percent of suspected terrorists entering the U.S. in fiscal year 2023 did so via the northern border.

Two members of the Olympic team from the Republic of Congo have disappeared following the closing ceremony of the Paris Games, fueling speculation they may have decided to claim asylum somewhere in Europe.
It was initially believed three of the six Congolese athletes had gone missing after swimmer Aristote Impelenga, judoka Daso Kisoka, and sprinter Dominique Lasconi all failed to appear for the closing ceremonies. However, Kisoka later resurfaced just before the Congolese Olympic team’s flight back to their native country.
Aristotle Impelenga, who remains missing, is the only Congolese athlete who came close to medaling. He finished in 7th place in the first round of the men’s 100-metre race. Following the race, he failed a doping test.
It is not rare for athletes from African countries and other impoverished nations to abscond and disappear following or even during athletic events in Western countries. Last year, several handball players from Burundi disappeared while attending a tournament in Croatia. Weeks later, they were discovered applying for asylum in Belgium.
Belgian authorities stated that while the athletes were welcome to apply for asylum if they wished, they would have to return to Croatia and apply there as it was their first point of entry to the European Union. At least 82 athletes sought asylum in the United Kingdom following the 2012 Olympic games in London.
Countries in Europe continue to cope with large numbers of asylum seekers and the negative effects mass migration has had, including surging violent crime in countries like Germany. Asylum seekers and other migrants are also vastly overrepresented in welfare usage, as well as welfare fraud in countries like Sweden.

The House Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement has released an interim staff report revealing that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) permitted nearly 100 migrants on the federal government’s terrorist watchlist to remain in the country between fiscal years 2021 and 2023.
The report, which covers the period of the Biden-Harris government, states that of over 250 illegal aliens on the terrorist watchlist encountered by Border Patrol at the south-west border, at least 99 were released into American communities. Additionally, 34 other individuals are in DHS custody but have not been removed from the United States. These encounters involved individuals from 36 countries, including Afghanistan, Iraq, Lebanon, and Pakistan—all countries with an endemic terrorist presence.
For fiscal year 2024, the report underscores that Border Patrol has encountered numerous illegal aliens from countries deemed national security risks. This includes encounters with 2,134 Afghan nationals, 33,347 Chinese nationals, 541 Iranian nationals, 520 Syrian nationals, and 3,104 Uzbek nationals.
NOTABLE CASES.
One notable case mentioned is that of Mohammad Kharwin, a 48-year-old Afghan and member of the terrorist group Hezb-e-Islami. Federal agents arrested him in April after repeated releases into the country by Border Patrol.
The report further mentions the arrest of eight suspected terrorists from Tajikistan, linked to Islamic State, in New York, Philadelphia, and Los Angeles in June.
The report criticizes the Biden-Harris regime for its handling of border security, stating that its policies are allowing millions of illegal aliens to enter the United States, hundreds of whom have links to terrorist organizations.
More than 7.3 million illegal aliens have been released or evaded capture at the border under Biden and Harris, it notes, including 375 individuals on the terrorist watchlist. This represents a 3,000 percent increase in watchlisted alien encounters compared to the Donald Trump administration.
