HHS splurged more than $22B on grants for migrants — including cash for cars, home loans and startups

By Josh Christenson | New York Post The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) ramped up grants for migrants from 2020 to 2024 — which included cash assistance to buy cars, homes and even build credit for startup businesses, according to a shocking watchdog report that found taxpayers were left on the hook for $22.6 billion. HHS’ Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) — which came under fire last year for having lost track of 32,000 migrant kids in the US — handed out the high sum to a host of nonprofits, effectively acting as a “giant magnet” for those crossing the US border and claiming asylum, auditors from the money monitor OpenTheBooks revealed exclusively to The Post. Tasked with settling migrants, asylum seekers and other refugees in America, ORR d...

Trump to send thousands of migrants to Gitmo after Biden considered doing exactly the same thing

By Jason Hopkins | Daily Caller President Donald Trump ordered his administration to send tens of thousands of illegal migrants to Guantanamo Bay to help aid in his large-scale detention and deportation operation. For more than two decades, the Cuba-based Guantanamo Bay Naval Base has been used to hold suspected terrorists. While speaking at a ceremony for the signing of the Laken Riley Act, the president revealed that he would also be ordering the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Department of Defense (DoD) to construct a facility at the base to hold as many as 30,000 illegal migrants in an area distinct from where suspected terrorists are currently detained. This is not the first time the U.S. has utilized Guantanamo Bay for migrant detention. The Clinton administra...

Dr. Phil films as ICE targets migrants in Chicago

By Richard Pollina | Washington Examiner Dr. Phil McGraw embedded with US immigration enforcement officers during deportation raids on Sunday — quizzing a convicted child sex offender who smugly tried to brush off being in the country illegally. The TV host joined border czar Tom Homan in Chicago Sunday night when they took into custody Sam Seda, a Thai national who openly admitted he was not a citizen. “This is an example of sanctuary cities, right,” Homan told the host as they quizzed the cuffed migrant, one of 270 “high-value targets” they were seeking in the Windy City under President Trump’s new policy.

Peter Thiel: Migration spikes housing costs, impoverishes young people

By Neil Munro | Breitbart Migration is helping to wreck the nation’s housing market and impose huge costs on young Americans, investor Peter Thiel told the Free Press news site. “The way I model what’s happened in the U.S., in Britain, Canada, a lot of the Anglosphere countries is a … real estate catastrophe,” said Thiel, a billionaire who made his fortune in Silicon Valley by creating Paypal and other Internet-based companies. Even small migration inflows can cause large increases in housing costs, especially in districts where there is little construction, Thiel said, adding: READ THE FULL STORY AT BREITBART

Tren de Aragua has already set up shop in these 16 states, Homeland Security warns

By Jennie Taer | New York Post The vicious Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua has expanded its territory to at least 16 US states — an area that includes half of America’s population, The Post has learned. Homeland Security officials last week were warned in an internal department intelligence memo about TdA’s growing presence across the country, most recently in Washington, DC, Virginia, Montana and Wyoming. The gang already has footholds in California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Wisconsin, according to the memo and previous reporting by The Post.

Biden/Harris deliver more migrants than jobs in October

By Neil Munro | Breitbart President Joe Biden’s border deputies invited four times more migrants in October than the number of extra jobs created by CEOs, according to data obtained by NewsNation. Business groups created 12,000 additional jobs in September, amid an economic slowdown at the strike at Boeing. The 12,000 number was one-ninth of the 112,500 new jobs that were expected. But Biden’s deputies also invited 49,840 more parole migrants to fly or bus into the U.S. for jobs during October. Those “parole migrants” are welcomed by the  Office of Field Operations (OFO) at the ports of entry along the border. READ THE FULL STORY AT BREITBART

With its control of migrant flow, Mexico seeks to play key role in US election

By David Agren , Kellen McGovern Jones , Virginia Allen  | The Daily Signal Jairo Salvador Salinas, a migrant from Honduras, was riding a northbound train toward the Mexico-U.S. border. But Mexican immigration officials detained him at a checkpoint near the city of Monterrey, just 100 miles south of the border. Instead of being deported back to Central America, he was put on a flight to southern Mexico. “I don’t have any support here,” he said from a shelter for migrants in Villahermosa, a city on the Gulf Coast closer to his native Honduras than the U.S. border.  Migrant encounters at the U.S. southwestern border have fallen precipitously throughout 2024 as migrants like Salinas are increasingly thwarted on their journeys through Mexico.

Allen: Minors are the greatest victims of America’s border crisis

By Virginia Allen, Commentary | Daily Signal Lying among the 16 or 17 dead bodies, Tom Homan spotted the corpse of a little boy, only 5 years old. The child died inside a sweltering truck trailer in Victoria, Texas, while being smuggled into the U.S. in May 2003. These are the memories that today’s images from the border evoke in Homan, a father himself. Children are victims here, not only of America’s broken immigration system and wide-open border, but also of the ruthless cartels that see children—particularly unaccompanied children—as a resource to exploit. Homan was working for the newly formed Immigration and Customs Enforcement at the time that trailer was discovered. ICE is an agency he would later serve as the acting director of in the Trump admini...

Migrant crisis cost $150B in 2023, forcing some areas to cut police and fire services: report

By Isabel Vincent | New York Post The eye-watering financial cost of the migrant crisis hit $150 billion last year and is causing devastating consequences for residents of hard-hit cities struggling to cope with the influx, The Post has learned. Of that figure, calculated by Washington DC-based non-profit Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), $67 billion came from the federal government, but the majority of the burden was shouldered by states and local governments.
