The Department of Justice does not have receipts for more than half of the unaccompanied alien children apprehended at the southwest border by Border Patrol since the start of fiscal year 2013, government records show.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection data show more than 85,000 total apprehensions of unaccompanied alien children during fiscal year 2013 and fiscal year 2014 through June. Information from the same time period provided toNational Review Online by the DOJ’s Executive Office for Immigration Reviewshows 41,592 total receipts marked as juvenile in immigration courts. Kathryn Mattingly, spokesperson for EOIR, tells NRO the receipts refer to new Notices to Appear (NTA) — the document the Department of Homeland Security uses to charge an illegal immigrant with being removable from the United States.   Continue reading “Government Has No Receipts for Thousands of Unaccompanied Alien Children”

Ebola could break into the United States through the unsecured U.S. border with Mexico, experts say.

“While we’ve seen no signs that Ebola virus has spread to our borders, it is very concerning,” Rep. Randy Weber (R-TX) told Breitbart News. “The border has still not been secured, and the President continues to wave the sign that our borders are open. There is no telling what might eventually make its way into the heartland, which should be concerning to all.”   Continue reading “Experts: Ebola Could Cross Unsecured U.S. Border”

The man is wanted in a series of bank robberies that dates back to early May. In each case, he approaches a teller, shows a demand note threatening violence unless he gets money, then flees with the cash.   Continue reading “Man in Obama Hat Robs Eight Banks in Three Months”

CNN Poll: Trust in government at all-time lowCNN – by Paul Steinhauser

Washington (CNN) – Four decades after President Richard Nixon resigned, a slight majority of Americans still consider Watergate a very serious matter, a new national survey shows. But how serious depends on when you were born.

The CNN/ORC International poll’s release comes one day before the 40th anniversary of Nixon’s resignation on August 9, 1974. With the Watergate scandal escalating, the second-term Republican president had lost much of his political backing, and he faced almost certain impeachment and the prospects of being removed from office by a Democratic-dominated House and Senate.   Continue reading “CNN Poll: Trust in government at all-time low”

In a bit of remarkable spin on Friday, White House press secretary Josh Earnest said the public’s dissatisfaction with Obama’s handling of illegal immigration has put Obama in a better position to enact executive amnesty.

Earnest said Obama’s abysmal poll numbers mean that Americans also realize that “Congress has done nothing to solve the problem.” Earnest said that “only strengthens the hand of the president” to enact executive actions.    Continue reading “WH Spins: Dismal Approval Rating on Illegal Immigration ‘Strengthens’ Obama’s Hand on Exec Amnesty”

CBS 13 in Sacramento reports that one American volunteer in Sierra Leone was crushed that he had to leave his mission there because of the Ebola virus outbreak. Dawson Jope, a Peace Corps volunteer, had planned to live in Sierra Leone for two years, but that plan was scuttled by the Ebola virus.

He said he wasn’t frightened by being in the midst of the outbreak, only disappointed that the promise he had made to help was broken.

HOUSTON, Texas — About half of the nation’s federal criminal cases last year were filed in regions near the U.S.-Mexico border, according to an alarming annual report from the Obama Administration’s Department of Justice (DOJ).

During FY 2013, U.S. Attorney’s offices filed a total of 61,529 criminal cases against defendants, according to the DOJ. Regions along the border each had more convictions than in any other district. 6,341 cases were filed in Western Texas, suggesting it is home to the country’s most severe crime patterns. 6,130 cases were filed in Southern Texas; 4,848 were filed in Southern California; 3,889 were filed in New Mexico; and 3,538 were filed in Arizona.    Continue reading “DOJ: Regions Near Mexico Border Most Crime Ridden In US”

HOUSTON, Texas — Individuals and families immigrating to the U.S. legally are required to pay for and undergo medical examinations by approved physicians; those who are deemed as having “inadmissible health-related conditions” are not allowed into the country. But the same standards are not applied to illegal immigrants, many of whom remain in the U.S. despite testing positive for diseases that would prevent law-abiding migrants from entering.

The current border crisis has involved tens of thousands of Central Americans entering the U.S. illegally. Some of these individuals have tested positive for illnesses including tuberculosis, chicken pox, and other viruses–despite this, most of them are not immediately deported. Rather, they stay and receive medical care subsidized by U.S. taxpayers.    Continue reading “Feds Bend CDC Rules For Sick Illegal Immigrants”

Pope Francis appealed to world leaders on Thursday to help end the crisis in northern Iraq after a sweeping advance by radical Islamic state militants forced thousands of residents of Iraq’s biggest Christian town to flee their homes.

“His Holiness addresses an urgent appeal to the international community to take action to end the humanitarian tragedy now underway, to act to protect those affected or threatened by violence and to provide aid, especially for the most urgent needs of the many who have been forced to flee and who depend on the solidarity of others,” the Vatican said in a statement.   Continue reading “Pope Francis calls for action as Iraqi Christians forced to flee”

With the recent slaughter of Palestinians taking place on television screens across the world, only the grossly misinformed would believe that Israel’s Palestinian extermination program is actually “self-defense.” 

Yet for all of Israel’s whining about how it is being targeted by “Islamic extremists” and “terrorists,”(which should be translated to mean Palestinians, Iran, or any other secular or nationalist Arab government in the region) there is a curious and deafening silence when it is confronted with actual terrorists and Muslim fanatics such as ISIS, al-Nusra, and the myriad of other fundamentalist groups waging jihad in Syria and Iraq.    Continue reading “Why Aren’t ISIS and Al-Qaeda Attacking Israel?”

Managers of a shopping mall in Dublin, Georgia, who told a group of visitors they were not allowed to pray in the facility – not even over their lunches in the food court – are starting to backtrack after headlines exposed the policies of the facility owned by MCK Properties.

A report from WMAZ-TV in Macon, Georgia, late Tuesday said the owners no longer “have an issue” with people praying “privately and quietly.”   Continue reading “Christians ordered to stop praying inside mall”

BEIRUT: The Islamic State in Iraq and Greater Syria (ISIS) responded Tuesday to recent attacks against its forces in Deir al-Zor province by displaying the heads of three tribesmen who took up arms against them, an anti-regime monitor said Tuesday.

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the three tribal fighters were from the village of al-Jurdi, where the grisly messages to the public were placed in a public square. ISIS militants and tribesmen clashed on the outskirts of the village, it added, after tribal fighters withdrew from al-Jurdi Monday and ISIS seized the village.   Continue reading “ISIS takes brutal revenge on tribal insurgents in Syria”

Overwhelmed by the arrival of thousands of unaccompanied immigrant children, the state of Texas relaxed its standards for the shelters that house them, easing rules governing how much space each child needs and what kind of facilities they should have.

In some ways, the response to the influx resembled the reaction to a hurricane, with federally contracted shelters asking the state licensing agency to temporarily bend some of its regulations to accommodate a large population of children.   Continue reading “Texas Eased Rules for Housing Immigrant Children”

DALLAS, Texas — The Collin County Commissioner’s Court in McKinney met on August 4 for a second and final time on the proposed resolution that would ban housing illegal minors in the county. Judge Keith Self, who was not present at the July 28 meeting, presided over a full courtroom. Public comments lasted for more than two hours and were followed by the court’s vote.

This was a kinder, gentler resolution than Commissioner Mark Reid originally presented and it was no longer titled “In Support of Ending Illegal Immigration” but instead asked “What is the proper role of government in providing the housing and care for undocumented aliens?”   Continue reading “Texas County Says ‘No Undocumented Aliens’”
