“Cardinal McElroy’s SHOCKING Critique of Trump’s IMMIGRATION Policies”

28 March 2025 — Cardinal Robert McElroy criticized policies he likens to crusades and mass deportations, urging a more welcoming approach to immigration. Speaking in Washington D.C., he advocated for secure borders that respect human dignity and generous asylum policies. He believes most Americans would support these changes.

McElroy indirectly targeted former President Trump’s immigration strategies, suggesting they lack compassion for Americans. He referenced the Good Samaritan story to emphasize kindness in handling global migration issues. According to McElroy, this narrative should guide U.S. government actions on immigration matters.

Pope Francis’s teachings were highlighted by McElroy, who stressed recognizing both victimhood and wrongdoing within ourselves as part of Christian conversion. This introspection is crucial for addressing migration complexities ethically and compassionately.

Despite these calls for empathy, the financial aspects of migration complicate distinctions between travelers, robbers, and helpers today. Economic implications often overshadow moral considerations in policy discussions on immigration reform.

FEDERAL Agents’ SHOCKING Arrests Spark Immigration Law Outrage

15 March 2025 — In Liberty, Missouri, armed Department of Homeland Security agents allegedly arrested 12 restaurant workers without warrants. The incident took place at a Mexican restaurant where workers were reportedly barricaded inside. This has sparked concerns about the overreach of federal immigration enforcement.

Mark Fleming from the National Immigrant Justice Center argues that agents are exceeding their legal authority. He stresses that while ICE can enforce immigration laws, they must follow constitutional and congressional limits. This case highlights ongoing debates about balancing national security with individual rights.

Chicago attorneys have taken this issue to federal court, accusing agents of violating both immigration law and constitutional rights since January. At least 22 individuals claim their rights were breached during these operations. This legal battle underscores tensions surrounding U.S. immigration enforcement practices.

SAN CLEMENTE’S Bold Move: Stopping Illegal Immigration at its Shores

17 February 2025 — San Clemente is taking a stand against illegal immigration by teaming up with border authorities to watch its beaches. The city wants to stop illegal entries using small boats called pangas. City Manager Andy Hall is working with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) on this effort.

Mayor Steve Knoblock stressed the importance of adding surveillance cameras along the city’s 7-mile coastline. He believes these cameras will help deter illegal immigration and other crimes. “Recently, we’ve seen more pangas landing on our beach,” Knoblock shared with Fox News Digital.

Right now, San Clemente has cameras on its pier for marine safety but none watching ocean activity directly. The City Council decided to look into upgrading technology and turning existing cameras toward the water during a recent meeting, following warnings from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement about increased panga sightings used for smuggling in Southern California since 2021.

HORRIFIC HOMICIDE: Migrants In Custody Spark Outrage

01 February 2025 — Authorities have detained two migrants linked to a brutal homicide. The victim was reportedly tied up before being killed, but details remain scarce. Law enforcement is actively investigating and promises more information soon.

Local residents are shocked by the violent act, raising concerns about community safety. As the investigation unfolds, questions about motive and suspect backgrounds persist. The incident has sparked intense debate over immigration policies and crime.

TRAGIC SUPERMARKET SHOOTING IN INDIANA: COMMUNITY DEVASTATED

ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT Attack: Tennessee Trooper’s Brave Response

29 January 2025 — An ILLEGAL immigrant from Guatemala, Eugenio Abraham Solis Klarks, is accused of shooting at a Tennessee Highway Patrol trooper. The incident began with a traffic stop in Lenoir City for speeding. Authorities confirmed Klarks was living illegally in the U.S., as reported by Fox News Digital.

After being pulled over, Klarks allegedly showed a Guatemalan consular ID card and fled when officers started issuing a citation. This led to a high-speed chase into Knox County. Court documents reveal that Klarks lost control of his vehicle and aimed an assault rifle at the approaching trooper before being struck in gunfire exchange.

Multiple firearms were found in Klarks’ vehicle after the incident. His car had been seen earlier in Macon, Georgia, and Indianapolis before this altercation with law enforcement occurred.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has filed an immigration detainer against him while he remains in custody at Knox County Jail on charges of evading arrest, with potential for more charges coming soon.

TRUMP’S Immigration Crackdown Sparks Massive Arrests And Debate

28 January 2025 — Federal authorities have launched a large-scale immigration crackdown across the United States, leading to mass arrests. This operation aligns with the Trump administration’s focus on strict immigration policies. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is leading the initiative, supported by local law enforcement agencies.

This is one of the most extensive operations in recent years, targeting various states nationwide. Officials defend these actions as necessary to uphold the rule of law and target individuals posing public safety threats. Meanwhile, immigrant rights advocates criticize it for potential civil rights violations and family impacts.

The enforcement action comes amid debates over immigration reform under Trump’s administration, which emphasizes national security and reducing illegal immigration rates as key priorities. The crackdown reflects Trump’s ongoing agenda to strengthen border control measures.

With thousands of arrests expected, this operation could significantly influence U.S. immigration policy and community relations. Increased tensions between communities and federal authorities are anticipated as long-term implications remain uncertain for now.

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT’S Secretive Move: Illegal Immigrants Relocated OUT Of California

22 October 2024 — The FEDERAL GOVERNMENT is moving illegal immigrants from California’s southern border to other states. San Diego County Supervisor Jim Desmond says this strategy avoids street releases, which could harm optics before the November election. Desmond noted that about 155,000 migrants were released in San Diego from September 2023 through June.

Migrants used to be dropped off at the Iris Avenue train station in San Diego. Now, three buses take them daily to Yuma, Arizona. Additionally, three to four flights each week move illegal immigrants from San Diego to McAllen, Texas, where facilities can handle more people.

Desmond criticized the federal government’s actions as an attempt to hide the situation rather than tackle it directly by resuming street releases. He believes this decision is politically motivated and likely influenced by upcoming elections. Fox News Digital reached out for comments from Border Patrol but has not received a response yet.

Before these relocations began, mass migrant releases overwhelmed San Diego’s services and resources. Some migrants also arrive by boat along California’s coastlines, adding further strain on local infrastructure and resources.

MEXICAN Immigration Official ACCUSED of Extortion and Bribery

11 September 2024 — Director-level officials at Mexico’s National Migration Institute (INM) revealed widespread corruption within the agency. Leaders sell documents, charge for favors, and extort migrants before being moved out.

Carmen Yadira De Los Santos Robledo, INM regional delegate in Yucatan, has pressured her staff to demand bribes and illegally sell travel documents. Despite internal investigations, she faces no consequences due to her connections with INM commissioner Francisco Garduno.

De Los Santos was relocated to Yucatan in 2022 after protests and an investigation in Chiapas. Her staff extorted Cuban migrants with valid documents by threatening detention and deportation.

Internal affairs documents accessed by Breitbart Texas show De Los Santos charged $1,500-$2,000 for undocumented humanitarian visa cards. These illicit fees were collected in cash and sent up the chain of command.

BIDEN’S Border Chaos: Record Crossings Spark Outrage

30 June 2024 — President Biden’s border policy is facing intense scrutiny as illegal crossings hit record highs. Critics argue that the administration’s approach has led to chaos and insecurity at the southern border. Republican lawmakers are calling for immediate action to restore order.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott has deployed additional state resources to manage the surge. He stated, “The federal government’s failure leaves us no choice but to protect our own borders.” Local communities are feeling the strain, with many residents expressing concerns over safety and resources.

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas defended the administration’s strategy, claiming it aims for a “humane” approach. However, many believe this leniency only encourages more illegal immigration.

With midterm elections approaching, border security remains a hot-button issue. Republicans see this as an opportunity to highlight what they view as Biden’s failed policies and push for stricter enforcement measures.

Republican leaders criticize the administration for what they call a “failed approach” to immigration. Texas Governor Greg Abbott stated, “The federal government must take immediate action to secure our borders.”

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas insists the administration is handling the situation effectively. However, many conservatives argue that current policies encourage illegal crossings.

The debate over border security continues to heat up as communities near the border feel the impact. Calls for stricter enforcement and policy changes grow louder from Republican lawmakers and citizens alike.

Biden’s BORDER Crisis: SHOCKING Surge in Illegal Crossings Alarms Americans

18 June 2024 — The border crisis under President Biden has reached alarming levels. New data shows a shocking surge in illegal crossings, leaving many Americans concerned. The situation at the southern border is deteriorating, with record numbers of migrants attempting to enter the country.

Border Patrol agents are overwhelmed as they try to manage the influx. Many believe that Biden’s policies are too lenient and encourage more illegal immigration. Critics argue that stronger measures are needed to secure the border and protect American citizens.

Local communities near the border are feeling the impact firsthand. Increased crime rates and strained resources have residents worried about their safety and well-being. Many are calling for immediate action to address these pressing issues before they worsen further.

As this crisis continues, it’s clear that a change in strategy is necessary. Americans want effective solutions that will restore order and security at our borders, ensuring a safer future for everyone involved. The time for decisive action is now, before things spiral out of control even more dramatically than they already have.

BIDEN’S Border Policy Disaster: Record Migrant Surge Sparks Outrage

17 June 2024 — The Biden administration’s border policies are facing renewed scrutiny as record numbers of migrants overwhelm U.S. border facilities. Critics argue that the administration’s lenient stance has encouraged illegal crossings, leading to chaos and insecurity.

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) reported over 250,000 encounters in September alone, a historic high. This surge has strained resources and raised concerns about national security and public safety.

Republican lawmakers are calling for immediate action to secure the border. “Our communities are at risk,” said Senator Ted Cruz, emphasizing the need for stricter enforcement measures.

The White House has yet to present a concrete plan to address this crisis, leaving many Americans frustrated. As the situation deteriorates, calls for accountability continue to grow louder.

ILLEGAL ALIEN Charged: Horrific Rape Case in Los Angeles Sparks Outrage

16 May 2024 — Eduardo Sarabia, an illegal alien from Mexico, has been arrested and charged with forcible rape and forcible oral copulation in Los Angeles County. Investigators allege Sarabia drove a female victim to a secluded area in the Angeles National Forest and raped her inside his van. The next day, he allegedly assaulted another victim in the same manner before being caught by law enforcement.

Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon stated, “As District Attorney, it is my solemn duty to pursue justice for victims of violent crimes.” Gascon emphasized the severity of the assaults and expressed sympathy for the victims. Sarabia is being held without bail and faces a maximum sentence of life in prison if convicted.

California’s sanctuary policies have come under scrutiny as Los Angeles remains one of the nation’s most prominent sanctuary jurisdictions. These policies prevent local authorities from turning over criminal illegal aliens to ICE for detention and deportation. This case highlights ongoing concerns about public safety under such policies.

UK IMMIGRATION SURGE Under ‘Conservative’ Rule: Reality Unveiled

04 May 2024 — Britain is facing an unprecedented surge in immigration, continuing for years under a government that labels itself conservative. The majority of these migrants are entering legally due to lenient policies established by the Conservative Party. Yet, there is also a significant number of illegal entrants, either seeking asylum or vanishing into the underground economy.

The Conservative government has initiated the Rwanda plan to curb illegal crossings through the English Channel. This strategy involves relocating some migrants to East Africa for processing and potential resettlement. Despite initial pushback, there are indications that this policy might be beginning to reduce illegal entries.

As the Conservative leadership nears its potential end after 14 years, polls suggest a likely shift in power to the Labour Party this winter. Labour intends to scrap the Rwanda deterrent and focus on clearing backlogs in asylum cases without sending migrants abroad. Critics believe Labour’s plan lacks robust measures to manage migrant entries effectively.

Miriam Cates has voiced strong criticism against Labour’s migration strategy, calling it ineffective and too lenient. She points out that previous strategies similar to what Labour proposes have not successfully managed immigration levels.

Mayorkas PUSHES for High-Immigration, Low-Productivity Economy: Is the American Dream At RISK?

04 February 2024 — In a recent discussion with the New York Times, Alejandro Mayorkas, leader of the Department of Homeland Security, argued for an economy that relies heavily on immigration but yields low productivity. He proposed lawful routes for migrants to meet labor demands. This approach, he believes, would eliminate smugglers and provide a structured method for individuals to arrive and work legally.

Yet Mayorkas overlooked one crucial aspect: our immigration system’s primary objective is to protect American families from being displaced by employers resorting to inexpensive foreign labor. Since 2021, his policies have permitted over 6.2 million migrants access into American homes, schools, hospitals and workplaces.

These policies have led to decreased wages for Americans and escalated rents and housing costs. They’ve also amplified societal rifts and forced many native-born Americans out of their professions.

Mayorkas has consistently advocated for a Canadian-style migration system in America that would cater to companies’ labor preferences. However, Canadians are gradually realizing that their migration approach has inflicted substantial harm on their citizens and economy.

TEXAS STRIKES Back: Governor Abbott Signs Tough Laws to Tackle Illegal Immigration

19 December 2023 — Texas Governor Greg Abbott has enacted three stringent laws aimed at halting illegal immigration. These laws, passed in two special sessions this fall, are part of a broader strategy to stem the tide of migrants from Mexico. The governor announced on Twitter that unlawful entry into Texas is now a crime with potential penalties including deportation or imprisonment.

The bill signing event in Brownsville saw the attendance of Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick and National Border Patrol Council President Brandon Judd among other border officials. However, House Speaker Dade Phelan was conspicuously absent. Senate Bill 4 from the fourth special session criminalizes unauthorized entry into Texas from foreign countries.

This state legislation mirrors federal statute Title 8 of the United States Code 1325 but takes it a step further by allowing for sentences up to two decades for violators. It also includes mechanisms for deporting offenders back to their home countries and offers legal protection to local and state officials enforcing these rules. Critics claim that current federal immigration laws are not being sufficiently enforced under the present administration.

With these new measures — including funding for wall construction and harsher penalties for human smuggling — Texas is

ALARMING DHS Revelation: 670,000 Border 'Gotaways’ in FY2023 — The Shocking Truth Behind the Numbers

11 December 2023 — Fox News recently uncovered a startling revelation from officials at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). They disclosed to Arizona’s congressional delegation and House and Senate Judiciary and Homeland Security committees that an astounding 670,000 known “gotaways” slipped through the border in FY2023.

In addition to this alarming figure, lawmakers were made aware of a daily influx of approximately 5,000 illegal immigrants into the U.S. These individuals are handed off to non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that aid them in reaching their final destinations. This rate could equate to nearly 1.8 million illegal migrants entering the country each year.

The DHS report also shed light on a record-breaking number of daily encounters by Border Patrol with migrants — over 12,000 in one day alone. This follows a record-setting year with more than 2.4 million encounters in FY23 and an unprecedented monthly high exceeding 260,000 last September.

When questioned about collaboration efforts with Mexico to control migrant flow at the southern border, DHS officials expressed concern for the “safety and security of noncitizens”. They highlighted risks these individuals often face due to dangerous travel methods like illicit train rides.
