This reminds me of when I attended a relative’s high school graduation and the Mexican female students were unfurling the Mexican flag and draping it across their backs as they walked across the stage. They are throwing it in our faces.

It doesn't stop there. I was driving through Virginia the other day and I saw several flags on vehicles that were celebrating treason against the United States. Some people were even wearing clothes with the insurrectionist's flag. Openly! It's like they're trying to threaten us.

I saw a few of those too! These people are unhinged, unpatriotic, and enthusiastically support treason, all while driving on our roads, sending their kids to our public schools, and relying on Medicaid, welfare, and food stamps. They are throwing it in our faces.

These people are *presumably* fleeing oppression and threats in their home countries, yet they celebrate their home countries once they arrive.
Tells you all you need to know. They are not asylum seekers and we all know that.
"There" is starting to become "here."

Fareed Zakaria, one of the scions of DC punditry, has finally faced the facts that current Biden policies on immigration are completely wrong. More remarkably, he has taken that indubitable reality to its logical conclusion–Zakaria calls for closing the border to asylum applicants while the system attempts to absorb the millions already in the pipeline:

“There is only one solution to this crisis, as Nolan Rappaport, a longtime congressional expert on the issue, has suggested: The president must use the power he has in existing law to suspend entirely the admission of asylum seekers while the system digests the millions of immigration cases already pending. The British government has passed a law to this effect.”

Wow! only took 4 million illegal aliens for some to think it is a problem.

Yes, they absolutely need to suspend migrant admission - but they also need to send the millions already here BACK.

Even if Trump is elected and wants to, Biden and co have made them impossible to track

San Diego has now declared a crisis.

In an unanimous decision today, the San Diego County Board of Supervisors officially declared the ongoing border situation a "Humanitarian Crisis."

This declaration comes in response to a mounting crisis that has seen over 7,800 migrants dropped at transit stations in San Diego County since September 13, 2023. The Federal government's lack of sufficient resources to manage this influx of asylum-seeking migrants has resulted in a critical strain on local resources and created an urgent humanitarian challenge.

The situation has escalated rapidly as daily street releases continue, with no set end date in sight. These releases occur with little direction and minimal resources, leaving local communities grappling with an increasingly untenable situation. The burden of caring for these asylum seekers has been unfairly shifted to local governments, Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), and community members.

While we are a community that values compassion and empathy, we must also acknowledge the practical limits of our capacity, as local government, to meet the needs of those who arrive in our region.

With this approval, three important things will happen:
•Declare this a Humanitarian Crisis.
•Call on the Federal Government to designate resources and personnel to prevent street releases.
•Oppose lateral transfers of asylum seekers from other states and jurisdictions.

When "there" becomes "here."

The Sheriff's Homicide Unit and San Diego County Crime Stoppers want the public’s assistance in identifying and locating the suspects responsible for a homicide near the U.S.-Mexico border fence in Otay Mesa.

On July 28 just after 1:30 p.m., CAL FIRE San Diego firefighters located a man who had been shot near the base of the border fence, approximately three miles east of the Otay Mesa Port of Entry.

Sheriff's Deputies were subsequently contacted to investigate the shooting. The victim of the shooting was transported to a hospital for treatment of his injuries. He told deputies that he and his friend had crossed into the United States through a gap in the border fence earlier in the night. After crossing, they were contacted by a group of four Hispanic men. The suspects asked the victim and his friend who they had paid to cross the border. When the victim informed the suspects they had not paid, he and his friend were forced to walk up a mountain, ordered to get on their knees and both were shot.

After the suspects left, the victim checked on his friend, but he was deceased. The victim walked along the border fence until he ran into CAL FIRE San Diego firefighters.

The suspects may be associated with the Hotel Libertad in Tijuana.

At this time, the only information on the suspects are composite sketches of three of the four men involved in the shootings.

But I've been told repeatedly by people here even that we have to let everyone in and there's nothing we can do until their cases are heard. You means we have the power to halt asylum admissions? No way!

She is suffering from a "refusal to acknowledge reality." (Jake Tapper's words)
Yep. That is what these people are doing.

Single issue (border) voters: you know that the coming shutdown will make the border situation even worse, right?

"With the threat of a U.S. government shutdown looming at the end of the month, local officials in border towns are worried that staff shortages among federal workers would make it harder to stop criminal activity and process an influx of migrants. Victor Treviño, the mayor of Laredo, Tex., foresees a “catastrophic situation” if House Republicans are unable to agree on a spending plan.

“It's totally different than the rest of the country. We're at the border,” Treviño says. “Three to four days will throw everything off scale, it'll cause devastation.” If the shutdown occurs, he says he’s prepared to declare a state of emergency." https://time.com/6317364/border-security-government-shutdown-migrants/

It is already devastating.
Border agents are not patrolling. They are processing.

Biden has not heeded their calls for increased border security. He has not listened to the border towns that have already declared emergencies because there are 10,000 migrants entering daily.

It is the Democrats who are refusing to fund border security. They want to allocate money to "processing." It is like using a bucket to bail out a sinking ship instead of plugging the hole.

So the solution is to make things worse by supporting a govt shutdown? As the mayor of Laredo, TX said: "'Three to four days will throw everything off scale, it'll cause devastation.' If the shutdown occurs, he says he’s prepared to declare a state of emergency."

This was also in the linked piece:

Doris Meissner, senior fellow at the Migration Policy Institute, argues that “the shutdown should not be so noticeable” in border towns. That’s because law enforcement employees are typically exempt from government shutdowns; they will not be paid during a shutdown, but typically would continue working and get their pay retroactively once the shutdown ends. The longest government shutdown lasted for 34 days under the Trump Administration, and there wasn’t a major exodus of law enforcement employees in border towns during that time, according to Meissner. “The exemption for law enforcement agencies is very broad now,” Meissner says. “I'm quite confident that CBP [U.S. Customs and Border Protection] particularly—given the pressures that it's under right now on the border—will establish those definitions as broadly as possible exactly for the reasons that [Treviño] is talking about.”
