What could possibly go wrong? Celebrate diversity!

“Feds catch more than 460 known, suspected terrorists in nine months, most at the northern border,” by Bethany Blankley, The Center Square, June 20, 2023:

There have been hundreds of known or suspected terrorists apprehended at the northern and southern borders in the current fiscal year, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection data.

As foreign nationals illegally enter the U.S. and are apprehended, U.S. Customs and Border Protection Office of Field Operations agents screen them against a federal Terrorist Screening Dataset, which includes sensitive information about terrorist identities. It originated as a consolidated terrorist watch list “to house information on known or suspected terrorists, or KSTs, but has evolved over the last decade to include additional individuals who represent a potential threat to the United States, including known affiliates of watch-listed individuals,” CBP states.

As of June 15, OFO agents apprehended 53 KSTs at southwest border ports of entry and 284 at northern border ports of entry, totaling 337. CBP’s fiscal year begins on Oct. 1.

They also apprehended 125 KSTs between ports of entry at the southern border and two between ports of entry at the northern border, totaling 127 KSTs fiscal year to date.

Combined, they’ve apprehended 464 known or suspected terrorists.

That’s nearly a 30% increase in one month after previous increases were roughly 87%.

Roughly one month ago, The Center Square reported OFO agents apprehended 332 KSTs at both borders. They apprehended 125 at the southern border (45 KSTs at ports of entry and 80 between ports of entry) and 207 at the northern border (205 at ports of entry and two between ports of entry).

These numbers were up from 284 KSTs apprehended by March, which was significantly up from 38 apprehended by January, an 87% increase in just two months.

By comparison, in fiscal 2022, 478 KSTs were apprehended in fiscal 2022. Agents apprehended 165 at the southern border (67 at ports of entry and 98 between ports of entry) and 313 at northern border ports of entry….

Woke Military Now Recruiting Non-English Speaking Migrants

“The immigrants are not immediately put in jobs that require top secret clearance.”

After transforming the military from a force defending the nation to a woke culture war operation, recruiting dropped through the floor. But, no worries, the Biden administration will fill out the ranks in the usual, “there’s always jobs at the Post Office” way by turning it into one giant useless welfare state.

Bidari, who heads to basic training in August, is just the latest in a growing number of legal migrants enlisting in the U.S. military as it more aggressively seeks out immigrants, offering a fast track to citizenship to those who sign up.

Struggling to overcome recruiting shortfalls, the Army and the Air Force have bolstered their marketing to entice legal residents to enlist, putting out pamphlets, working social media and broadening their outreach, particularly in inner cities. One key element is the use of recruiters with similar backgrounds to these potential recruits.

The military has had success in recruiting legal immigrants, particularly among those seeking a job, education benefits and training as well as a quick route to becoming an American citizen. But they also require additional security screening and more help filling out forms, particularly those who are less proficient in English.

If there’s anything we want, it’s migrants who are not proficient in English. What could go wrong?

Who needs a “quick route” to citizenship? Citizenship naturally doesn’t take all that long. It’s usually 1-2 years. It’s longer however for people who just received their residency status. The people looking for a quick route are probably fairly recent arrivals who might normally have to wait five years before they can apply.

Last October, the Army reestablished a program for legal permanent residents to apply for accelerated naturalization once they get to basic training. Recruiters began to reach out on social media, using short videos in various languages to target the top 10 countries that recruits had come from during the previous year.

Is it really a great idea to recruit people who need to be targeted in non-English languages?

Thomas said the program required changes to Air Force policy, coordination with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and a careful screening process to ensure there are no security risks.

“We have to take exceptional measures to be able to thoroughly vet and go through the security clearance investigation,” he said, adding that in many cases the immigrants are not immediately put in jobs that require top secret clearance.

In many cases. But seemingly in other cases they are “immediately put in jobs that require top secret clearance.”

CCP Invasion? Border Patrol Catches 13K Chinese Migrants, Numbers Climbing

CCP Invasion? Border Patrol Catches 13K Chinese Migrants, Numbers Climbing

Is the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) invading the U.S.? The number of Chinese migrants entering the U.S. this fiscal year has increased by more than 1000%, with a significant number of them being military-age males.

More than one expert has suggested this could be a military invasion of the CCP, with CCP plants exploiting the border crisis to enter the United States. With the CCP becoming increasingly aggressive and hostile toward the U.S., the Biden administration should be increasing national security, not facilitating the border crisis.

Breitbart reported June 10:

Since the beginning of Fiscal Year 23 on October 1, 2022, Border Patrol agents along the U.S.-Mexico border apprehended nearly 13,000 Chinese migrants. The number represents a more than 1,000 percent increase in migrants from the communist regime when compared to the previous year’s totals…

Approximately 84 percent of the migrants from the PRC [People’s Republic of China] are single adults. After processing by the Border Patrol, most are released to pursue asylum claims in the United States.

A previous on-the-scene report showed that hundreds of Chinese migrants are military-age men.

Dr. Kenneth Allard, a retired Army Colonel, former intelligence officer, and former Dean of Students at the National War College, told Breitbart that the CCP is likely exploiting the Biden administration’s weakness and the southern border crisis. “Totalitarian governments like China are great exploiters of opportunity,” Dr. Allard explained. “They recognize weakness and capitalize on it immediately. What we are seeing reflects a deliberate policy choice by the regime.” He added of Joe Biden that “it’s obvious he is not entirely in control at present, China realizes that as well.”

Allard, as not only a former intelligence officer but former special assistant to the Army Chief of Staff, is worried at how little intelligence seems to be gathered on the influx of Chinese migrants.

Breitbart added:

What little information that is retrieved from the migrants would indicate most are fleeing the repressive regime due to the aftereffects of the extreme COVID-19 lockdowns imposed by Xi Jinping’s government. Another reason cited by the migrants is the negative economic effects of China’s strict COVID-19 policies regarding the exportation and importation of goods.

This is understandable if it’s true. It is also understandable that the U.S. should aim to help Chinese dissidents escape the oppressive CCP (though not by leaving the border wide open), but, to emphasize Allard’s point, does the Biden administration make any effort to find out if and how many of the migrants are possible CCP plants?

EU reaches deal on ‘more equitable refugee hosting,’ Poland and Hungary refuse

History is repeating itself, after nearly a decade of the EU flinging its doors open to illegal (mostly Muslim) migrants, at the expense of taxpayers and the security of its member nations. The EU has now “reached a deal” for its members to “share hosting” of illegals “who mainly arrive in countries on the bloc’s outer rim, like Italy and Greece.” This is because Italy and Greece oppose illegals swarming in from Africa. Nothing is different about this EU's latest deal from its past attempts to force migrant quotas on member countries.

Yet again, it is Poland and Hungary that refuse to agree to the new deal. And so yet again, those countries will be targeted by the EU. Globalists are relentless in their efforts to overturn the rule of law and destroy the traditions of Western society, in their quest to create a utopian one-world government.

“EU reaches deal on more equitable refugee hosting,” by Manas Joshi, WION, June 9, 2023:

The European Union on Thursday (June 8) reached a deal on a revision of rules to share hosting of asylum seekers more equitably. The breakthrough was achieved after a fraught day of negotiations between European Union interior ministers in Luxembourg. Sweden, which currently holds the bloc’s rotating presidency, made the announcement of the agreement.

In order to go through, the deal needed approval from a majority of countries that represent at least 65 per cent of the bloc’s population. The agreement has come through after years of wrangling over asylum policy.

European interior affairs commissioner Ylva Johansson hailed a “hugely significant step” for the EU on migration.

“These are not easy decisions for everyone around the table, but they are historic decisions,” said German interior minister Nancy Faeser.

The proposal tabled at the meeting called for compulsory help between EU countries, but with an option of doing that in one of two ways.

EU countries face priority to share hosting of asylum seekers who mainly arrive in countries on the bloc’s outer rim, like Italy and Greece.

The agreement says that countries that refuse to host refugees would be required to pay 20,000 euros (USD 21,000) per person. The money will go to a fund managed by Brussels.

Poland and Hungary voted against the proposals, while Bulgaria, Malta, Lithuania and Slovakia abstained….

Mayor Adams’ Plea: Time for Every US City to Share the Migrant Load?

NYC Mayor Eric Adams, in a surprising move, has called for every US city to share the load in accommodating migrants. Facing an increasingly overwhelming influx of newcomers, Adams has proposed this radical plan as New York grapples with thousands of new arrivals each day. Ironically, his 'share the love' approach emerges while his city, a proclaimed sanctuary, struggles to maintain its pledge amidst the sheer pressure of numbers and logistical challenges. Adams' suggestions are a stark contrast to his earlier rhetoric, revealing an interesting twist in his narrative. On the surface, this request to distribute migrants across all US cities might seem like a reasonable proposition. However, it unravels a deeper issue - the unrelenting tide of people crossing the southern border. The mayor's solution implies that New York, despite its sanctuary status, is feeling the strain from this surge, echoing the concerns of border states that have been grappling with this reality for years. Amidst his concerns about housing and resource allocation, the essence of the sanctuary city appears to be wavering, replaced by pleas for nationwide assistance. Adding another layer of complexity to this issue is the reopening of many of the city's shuttered hotels to serve as migrant shelters. As NYC houses more and more asylum seekers, questions of sustainability and long-term implications rise. The mayor’s move serves as a poignant reminder that the immigration issue continues to strain the resources and capacities of not just border towns, but also major cities across the country.

A Look Inside The Largest Migrant Hotel In NYC: Drunk Kids, Alcohol & Violence

“Out of Control: The Immigration Invasion”; An urgent warning ­from 1988, 35 YEARS AGO!

In the early and mid-1980s, investigative reporter William F. Jasper began making trips to the US-Mexico border to report on the massive influx of illegal aliens that had already, way back then, reached crisis proportions. He is one of the few reporters who have covered virtually the entire border, from Imperial Beach in California on the Pacific Ocean to Brownsville, Texas, on the Gulf Coast. Traveling alone, or with a film crew, with Border Patrol agents, or with local residents, Mr. Jasper documented and recorded the ongoing invasion that is now – decades later – too obvious to be any longer ignored. In addition to his articles on our broken borders that appeared in The New American magazine, in 1988 Jasper produced an hour-long, pathbreaking documentary video, “Out of Control: The Immigration Invasion,” utilizing film he had taken during his many treks along the border. Jasper then went on a national speaking tour and portions of his video were shown on television news programs where he was interviewed, helping spark a national debate and national awareness of the seriousness and breadth of this crisis. Among the important issues covered in this blockbuster documentary are: • Thousands of individuals from over 100 countries are apprehended illegally entering the U.S. each year. • Known terrorists, murderers, rapists, pedophiles, and other violent criminals apprehended illegally entering the U.S. each year. • Several “got aways” for every illegal apprehended. • Interviews with Customs, Border Patrol, and Immigration agents, and Texas law enforcement officials. • Impact on crime, taxes, and social welfare services. • Exposure of the subversive Sanctuary Movement and the leftist churches supporting it. • Role of the radical attorneys of the ACLU and National Lawyers Guild. • How the 1986 IRCA amnesty turned into a series of amnesties – as Jasper warned it would. • Ultimate goal to break down and erase our borders, destroy national sovereignty and cohesiveness. The crisis on our border today is a truly existential one: a nation cannot sustain the level of invasion that we are experiencing and expect to survive. “Out of Control: The Immigration Invasion” provides the historical context Americans need today to understand how we got to our present crisis situation, who are the individuals and forces responsible for it, and what must be done to save our republic and our vanishing freedoms.

The Biden regime is either fantastically incompetent or it wants the influx of migrants in order to secure a Democrat majority for generations to come, and to weaken our national character and national unity, so as to pave the way for an authoritarian socialist internationalist state. Which one do you think it is?

“125 known, suspected terrorists apprehended at southern border fiscal year to date,” by Bethany Blankley, The Center Square, May 15, 2023:

(The Center Square) – An Afghan national on the federal Terrorist Screening Dataset (TSDS) was apprehended attempting to enter the U.S. illegally near the Otay Mesa Port of Entry in San Diego, California.

The TSDA is the federal government’s database that includes sensitive information about terrorist identities. It originated as a consolidated terrorist watch list “to house information on known or suspected terrorists (KSTs) but has evolved over the last decade to include additional individuals who represent a potential threat to the United States, including known affiliates of watch listed individuals,” CBP states….

In fiscal 2022, U.S. Customs and Border Protection Office of Field Operations agents apprehended 67 KSTs at ports of entry and 98 between ports of entry at the southern border, totaling 165. At northern border ports of entry, they apprehended 313. Combined, CBP OFO agents apprehended 478 KSTs in fiscal 2022.

Fiscal year to date, OFO agents have apprehended 45 KSTs at ports of entry and 80 between ports of entry at the southern border, totaling 125. At the northern border, the numbers are still higher: 205 at ports of entry and two between ports of entry. So far, that’s 332 this fiscal year who’ve been apprehended trying to enter the U.S….

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas continues to claim the border is closed and that agents are prepared and able to handle the influx of people. DHS also expanded the use of America’s first ever CBPOne App to allow people to apply to enter from other countries while not even on U.S. soil. He’s also directed thousands of federal personnel to “scale up processing efforts.”…
