Feds Dump 125,000 Male Illegal Aliens on San Diego Streets in 9 Months

More than 150,000 illegal aliens were released into San Diego County in less than a year, according to a local official.

San Diego County Supervisor Jim Desmond has been sounding the alarm about the ongoing invasion of California and the way it is being orchestrated by the Biden-Harris regime.

Supervisor Desmond says federal authorities dumped 155,000 illegals in his county – approximately 125,000 of whom were single, adult males – between September of 2023 and June of 2024.

“Border Patrol was overwhelmed, so what they were doing was just dropping off the healthy adults, age 18 to 35, here in San Diego County. They were predominantly about 80 percent male,” Desmond told immigration news outlet Border Hawk in a recent interview.

“They were just being dropped off at a transit station,” he explained. “Border Patrol was dropping them off and saying, ‘See you later. You’re on your own.’”

Roughly 90 percent of street-released illegals eventually leave San Diego County, bound for other points within the country.

Desmond has frequently visited the primary dumping site, the San Ysidro Transportation Center, located just a mile from the southern border.

New arrivals often ask him where they are before asking how to reach their final destinations, which could be anywhere in the U.S.

Rand Paul Vows To Reinstate ‘Remain In Mexico’ Policy

Senator Rand Paul vowed this week that as the new leader of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee he will reinstate the ‘Remain in Mexico’ policy.

“I chose to chair this Committee over another because I believe that, for the health of our republic, Congress must stand up once again for its constitutional role,” Paul said in a prepared statement. 

He added, “This Committee’s mission of oversight and investigations is critical to Congress reasserting itself.”

“Our first hearing will examine reinstating the successful Remain in Mexico policy from the first Trump Administration,” the senator further urged.

The policy, officially known as Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP), was introduced by the Trump administration in December 2018 and mandated that asylum seekers at the southern border wait in Mexico while their claims were processed.

Incoming Trump Border Czar Pledges to Deport ‘Nine Out of Ten’ Migrants

Yesterday, incoming Trump Border Czar Tom Homan reiterated previous pledges he had made that, as a member of the new president’s administration, he would oversee the deportation of “nine out of ten” of the millions of migrants the Biden regime allowed to pour over the border

Here is Tom Homan in November of last year, when a renewed Trump presidency was but a twinkle in the eye of MAGA (emphasis added):

I promised President Trump when he announced that if he goes back, I go back. And I’m going to run the biggest deportation operation this country’s ever seen because these millions of people being released in this country, nine out of 10 will get an order of removal based on immigration court data. 

A judge orders them to be removed. We’re going to find them and we’re gonna remove them. If there’s no consequence, we can’t fix the border. We’re going to have a consequence in the Trump administration.

Now, what often happens in these cases is that appointees playing to the base get into Washington, get a good talking to by whomever actually runs whatever their given policy purview is, and magically their rhetoric moderates.

Pelosi’s Latest Big Lie Is Too Much Even for the Washington Post

The Washington Post’s fact checks have by and large been tools of partisan politics. We saw this most notoriously in Oct. 2020, when the Post undercut reports that Hunter Biden arranged what looked to all the world like an influence-peddling meeting between one of his foreign business clients and The Big Guy, that is, his father, who was vice president at the time. 

The fact that the Post’s “fact checks” are largely designed to intimidate, confuse, and undermine foes of the left’s agenda makes it all the more striking that on Wednesday, the Post’s fact-checking spotlight was shining on none other than Nancy Pelosi, who must have been all the more indignant that it wasn’t PJ Media or Fox catching her lying, but one of the left’s principal propaganda organs.

Fox News reported Thursday that Pelosi “was fact-checked on Wednesday by the Washington Post for claiming that fewer migrants came into the U.S. under President Biden than under President-elect Trump’s first term.” That’s right. Pelosi is actually claiming that President Open Borders let in fewer illegal migrants than President Wall.

Give Pelosi credit for audacity: she knows there is a certain segment of people out there who will believe her and dismiss the claims of her opponents, and even of the Washington Post fact check because they’re ideologically committed to the idea that the Democrats, and the left in general, are on the side of righteousness, justice, and truth. And after all, how many people out there are really paying attention? She knew she had a good chance to get some people to believe her claims, no matter how outlandish, and on this occasion, she really went for the gold medal of chutzpah.

In the midst of an election post-mortem, Pelosi said: “I don’t think we were clear enough by saying fewer people came in under President Joe Biden than came under Donald Trump.” Yeah, maybe you and your cadres weren’t clear enough in making that point because it is wildly, howlingly, blazingly, outlandishly false. But Pelosi coolly went on to ascribe the catastrophic Democrat loss of the presidency, the Senate, and the House to a failure to make themselves clear: “It’s clarity of the message, and if that’s what Bernie’s talking about, and that’s what Joe Manchin’s talking about, we weren’t clear in our message as to what things are, then I agree with that.”

Irish Leader Suggests ‘Illegal Migrants’ Don’t Even Exist

The Prime Minister of Ireland suggested during an interview that illegal migrants don’t even exist, refusing to even acknowledge that the term has any meaning.

The head of the Taoiseach was asked by the host, “So do you know how many illegal migrants we have in the country at the moment?”

He responded by acting completely baffled, before suggesting that there is no such thing.

“What does the phrase illegal migrants mean? Because that’s a phrase that is used by some but that’s not a phrase in law,” said Simon Harris.

“Anybody has a right to come here and seek international protection, it is the job then of the Department of Justice to assess the validity of that application,” he added.

Incoming Border Czar Suggests Criminal Aliens ‘Self Deport’ — ‘We Know Who You Are and We’re Gonna Come and Find You’

Incoming border czar Tom Homan has suggested that criminal illegal aliens and gang members self-deport because “we know who you are, and we’re gonna come and find you.”

Appearing on Sean Hannity’s show on Fox News, Homan did not hold back about his plans to take a hardline stance against criminal illegal aliens, warning that “criminals and gang members get no grace period.”

“While we’re out prioritizing the public safety threats and national security threats, if you wanna self-deport, you should self-deport because, again, we know who you are, and we’re gonna come and find you,” Homan asserted.

“So if you wanna self-deport, that’s fine,” Homan continued. “But criminals and gang members, they get no favors from this administration. You came to this country illegally, which is a crime. You committed crimes against United States citizens, some heinous crimes. You get no grace period. So we’re coming for you.”

Making himself very clear, Homan said that those who have not committed crimes beyond their illegal border crossing can “put everything in order” and “leave with their family all together.”

Asked about the logistics of the deportations, Homan said criminals would be “put on an airplane” to their country of origin.

Trump’s Incoming Border Czar Tom Homan Announces “Workplace Immigration Raids” and Has a Stern Message to Dem Governors Trying to Block Deportations 

President Trump announced on Truth Social Sunday night that former ICE Director Tom Homan will be the nation’s new “Border Czar.”

“I am pleased to announce that the Former ICE Director, and stalwart on Border Control, Tom Homan, will be joining the Trump Administration, in charge of our Nation’s Borders (“The Border Czar”), including, but not limited to, the Southern Border, the Northern Border, all Maritime, and Aviation Security. I’ve known Tom for a long time, and there is nobody better at policing and controlling our Borders. Likewise, Tom Homan will be in charge of all Deportation of Illegal Aliens back to their Country of Origin. Congratulations to Tom. I have no doubt he will do a fantastic, and long awaited for, job.”

Tom Homan on Monday announced “workplace immigration raids” and had a stern message to Democrat governors trying to block deportations.

“Where do we find most victims of sex trafficking and forced labor trafficking? At worksites,” Tom Homan said on Fox & Friends.

Homan also put Democrat governors on notice.

“I’ve seen some of these Democrat governors say they’re going to stand in the way [of deportations] and make it hard for us. A suggestion: If you’re not going to help us, get the hell out of the way because we’re going to do it.”

Trump Confirms He Has No Choice But To Carry Out Mass Deportations

Speaking with NBC News on Thursday, the president-elect was asked about how much it would cost to carry out his deportation plan, which he made reference to numerous times during his presidential campaign.

“It’s not a question of a price tag,” Trump said, adding that “really, we have no choice.”

“When people have killed and murdered, when drug lords have destroyed countries. And now they’re going to go back to those countries because they’re not staying here. There is no price tag.”

His campaign had pledged to expel about 11 million people who are not authorized to be in the United States, although Trump himself has said he believes that as many as 21 million are in the country illegally.

“We obviously have to make the border strong and powerful, and we have to—at the same time, we want people to come into our country,” he said before signaling that the United States still needs legal immigrants.

“And you know, I’m not somebody that says, ‘No, you can’t come in.’ We want people to come in.”

Both Democrats and the nonprofit American Immigration Council have been critical of the mass deportation proposal, with the NGO estimating in a report that Trump’s plan may cost as much as $315 billion overall.

In campaign events and media appearances, both Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance have said that Americans would see longstanding economic benefits from the deportation plan. During his only debate with Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Vance said that illegal immigrants are a reason why housing and rent prices have soared across the United States in recent years.

“Kicking out illegal immigrants who are competing for those homes” would help bring down housing costs, Vance said on Oct. 1.

Federal Judge Strikes Down Biden’s Move to Legalize Spouses of Illegal Immigrants

The Biden administration endured another defeat on Thursday when a federal judge tossed out an attempt to legalize hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants married to U.S. citizens.

Introduced in the summer, the “Keeping Families Together” program from the Biden administration offered protection to migrants here in the United States illegally who are married to U.S. citizens.

On Thursday, the Trump-appointed U.S. District Judge J. Campbell Barker ruled the program beyond Biden’s executive authority. America First Legal announced the decision.

“We just WON our lawsuit with Ken Paxton, Raul Labrador, and a coalition of 14 states. We have officially STOPPED the Biden-Harris Administration’s illegal attempt to grant mass amnesty to hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens,” the organization said.

Gene Hamilton, America First Legal Executive Director, said in a statement provided by Fox News the program would have “provided amnesty to hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens and paved the path for the largest administrative amnesty in American history.”

NYC Ends Controversial Taxpayers-Funded Prepaid Debit Card Program for Illegal Immigrants

Mayor Eric Adams has announced the end of a controversial taxpayer-funded initiative distributing pre-paid debit cards to illegal immigrants.

The program, which was initially launched as a pilot earlier this year with a $53 million budget aimed to assist around 3,000 illegal immigrants and was set to expand its reach to over 7,300 individuals within the next half-year, will not see its contract renewed after January 2025.

The debit card initiative was designed to enable illegal immigrant families, temporarily housed in upscale hotels like the Roosevelt Hotel, to buy their “groceries and baby supplies” instead of receiving predetermined food services.
