BROWNSVILLE, Texas — Despite much raucous on social media, less than five protesters arrived at the Veteran’s International Bridge near the Texas-Mexico border, claiming that “cartel threats” had kept many away. However, those threats fell apart after further investigation by Breitbart Texas.

During the demonstration, Rob Schupp, who claimed to be one of the organizers, said that the group had received threats over the phone and on social media.    Continue reading “‘Cartel Threat’ Claim Falls Apart for Failed Border Bridge Protest”

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has approved the design of driver’s licenses for illegal immigrants in California. DHS had previously rejected an earlier design (pictured at left) because it was not sufficiently distinctive from regular driver’s licenses.

According to the Sacramento Bee, DHS sent a letter to Department of Motor Vehicles director Jean Shiomoto on September 17 informing them of their approval.   Continue reading “Homeland Security Approves Design of Driver’s Licenses for California’s Illegal Immigrants”

Criticizing Israel publicly entails huge risks. Becoming persona non grata in politics, the media, business and academia may follow. It’s a career ender for most who try.

At most, short-term protests follow. They’re usually or entirely local. Salaita’s University of Illinois at Urban-Champaign (ULUC) sacking elevated public anger to a new level.

Thousands of scholars, students, colleagues, friends, Israeli critics and others rallied to his defense. They’re steadfast. They continue.    Continue reading “Firestorm Over Professor Steven Salaita’s Sacking for Criticizing Israel”

CHENNAI: A group of students at SRM University led by Sobin Santhosh, final year student in the Aerospace department have designed and implemented an autonomous copter equipped with an automatic face and person recognition system in a day. In their drill experiment of the rescue application, an onboard camera was mounted on a quad-copter UAV where a live video was recorded. The video was fed to the person identification software, developed on a MATLAB platform by Arijit Ray, a final year student of SRM University in the Electrical and Electronics Department. The software successfully detected the target person in an image taken while the copter has hovering. Several images of the target individual were taken in different postures, angles and backdrops to ensure that the software has a robust accuracy. The GPS location of the snapshot image was also transmitted to the ground station and it conformed exactly to the location at which the snapshot was taken.   Continue reading “UAV With Facial Recognition Takes Flight”

Joe Green, the president of Facebook co-founder’s Mark Zuckerberg’s pro-amnesty FWD.us lobbying group who suggested that foreign workers were better than Americans, was reportedly “forced” out  for failing to pass amnesty legislation despite the millions of dollars the group has spent on both sides of the aisle.

On Friday, Zuckerberg announced in a “confidential” email Re/Code obtained that Green, who was also his college roommate, had “resigned as President of FWD.us, effective immediately.” Todd Schulte, the former official for the pro-President Barack Obama Priorities USA Super PAC, will become the new president.   Continue reading “President of Zuckerberg Pro-Amnesty Group Resigns”

US nuclear submarine commander Benjamin Person (transliteration from Chinese) recently laughed at China, saying that Chinese nuclear submarines had never been active near the United States. He is happy that his nuclear submarine has been active in the seas near China for a long time.   Continue reading “China plans nuclear submarines near US coast, miltary bases in South China Sea”

HOUSTON, Texas — The protest calling for shutting down various ports of entry across the Texas-Mexico border appeared to be called off, when one of the event’s organizers claimed that the group had received cartel threats. Ultimately, only five individuals showed up to protest at the port of entry in Pharr, Texas.

Ron Cupp, who referred to himself and the founder of the event, was present. Those protesting told Breitbart Texas that today their objective has changed from closing the port to seeing how many law enforcement officials and resources they can tie up watching them.    Continue reading “Only 5 Border Bridge Protesters Show, Tie Up Law Enforcement”

Several independent ‘milita’ groups, concerned over what they see as a porous southern border and unchecked illegal immigration, plan to block traffic on Saturday at several international ports of entry in the Rio Grande Valley, Newsradio 1200 WOAI reports.

Militias have been flocking to the border since July in what the Minuteman Project describes as ‘Operation Normandy.’

The groups have been even more energized by reports that jihadist groups are using the border as a way to infiltrate ‘sleeper cells’ into the United States, a claim that federal immigration authorities have rejected.   Continue reading “Border Sheriffs Brace for Possible Militia Action on Saturday”

The federal government refuses to say whether prosecutors in Yuma, Arizona, have scaled back a years-old program that guarantees jail time for most immigrants caught crossing the border illegally and which law enforcement officials say is crucial to public safety.

Reports that federal prosecutors have stopped some prosecutions under Operation Streamline surfaced nearly two weeks ago when Arizona Sens. John McCain and Jeff Flake wrote a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder seeking information on the status of the zero-tolerance program that circumvents the civil immigration system and lumps together months’ worth of criminal proceedings into one day for immigrants caught crossing the border illegally.   Continue reading “Feds Mum on Prosecution of Illegal Border Crossers”

Police struggled to control crowds in Glasgow’s City Centre last night as groups unofficially aligned with the ‘Yes’ and ‘No’ sides of the Scottish Independence Referendum taunted each other in the streets. Twitter users reported that pro-union campaigners burned Scotland’s flag, the Saltire, in George Square, and that at least six people had been arrested.

Scottish Police separated the two groups with lines of hi-visibility coppers, with some on horseback, as flares were hurled across George Square, and demonstrators berated one another. Reports on the ground suggested that elements of the far-right British National Party were present, as well as individuals performing Nazi salutes whilst waving the UK flag, better known as the ‘Union Flag’.    Continue reading “6 Arrested, Scottish Flag ‘Set Ablaze’, as Referendum Campaigners Violently Clash in Glasgow”

Ukranian President Petro Poroshenko gave a stirring address to a joint session of the U.S. Congress Thursday, pleading for “military equipment–both non-lethal and lethal” in his country’s ongoing struggle to resist Russian invasion. He received a warm welcome from both houses and both parties–though his presence was surely a rebuke to the White House, which stood by as Russia annexed the Crimea and invaded eastern Ukraine.   Continue reading “Poroshenko Tells Congress: ‘Just Like Israel, Ukraine Has the Right to Defend Her Territory’”

Hondurans, Guatemalans and El Salvadoreans moving to the US, Syrians moving to countries in South America, Muslims moving into countries in Europe.

It may at first appear an unorthodox choice, but for many of the estimated three million refugees fleeing the Syrian Civil War, Latin American countries are becoming increasingly popular resettlement destinations.
