Frederick Becomes Largest Municipality in Maryland to Approve Non-Citizen Voting

The city of Frederick, Maryland, has granted non-citizens the right to vote in local elections.

The move by the city makes Frederick the largest municipality in the state to allow non-citizens to vote.

On Thursday night, the Board of Alderman voted 4-1 to grant green card holders and illegal immigrants the right to vote in local elections.

Under the new rule, illegal immigrants and green card holders must only prove they reside in Frederick to vote.

The move by the Alderman board comes after receiving pressure from the ACLU and illegal immigrants residing in Frederick.

WUSA 9 reported that the new voting laws will allow nearly 6,400 non-citizens to vote in local elections.

Afghan Migrant Was Granted Swedish Citizenship After Raping Multiple Women, Can Not Be Deported As A Result

An Afghan migrant was granted citizenship after raping multiple women at the hospital where he worked. The unnamed 24-year-old arrived in Sweden as an “unaccompanied minor” in 2016, and committed the assaults while employed at the Akademiska Hospital in Uppsala.

The migrant worked at the hospital from November of 2019 to May 31 of this year, though worked his last shift as a healthcare assistant in August of 2023.

According to Samnytt, the suspect, who moved from Afghanistan to Sweden when he was 16 years old as an “unaccompanied minor,” is believed to have carried out his attack against his first two victims in December of 2021 while on shift at the hospital.

Hospital Human Resources Chief Olivia Laurent Wijkmark confirmed that the migrant’s role involved watching over patients who “require supervision,” suggesting they were particularly vulnerable.

Though the migrant is said to have no previous criminal history, police remanded the asylum seeker into custody last weekend under suspicion he had raped a third victim at a residential address in Uppsala last month. The Västmanland District Court explained in its remand order that “there are probable grounds to suspect the 24-year-old of three rapes.”

However, because the migrant had been granted Swedish citizenship in May of this year, he will not be deported, even if found guilty.

This is not the first time an Afghan migrant has avoided deportation in Sweden. As previously reported by The Publica, two Afghan migrants who received Swedish citizenship in 2020 were recently convicted of raping a young girl and filming the assault.

Despite threatening to murder the girl if she resisted them, Irshad Ahmad and Elham Bahram, both of whom are 16 years old, received light prison sentences and were able to avoid deportation.

In July, the Malmö District Court convicted Irshad of several disturbing crimes, including “aggravated rape against a child, offensive photography, child pornography, and additional assaults against two other girls,” but was only sentenced to 10 months in youth residential care for being a minor.

Virginia County’s Election Manual Says People Who Show ‘Noncitizen’ ID Cards Can Still Vote

An election officer training manual issued by Prince William County, Virginia, appears to instruct poll workers that people who show ID cards which are issued “only to non-citizens” may still vote if they fulfill additional requirements, none of which provide evidence of citizenship.

As the manual states, the Virginia Driver Privilege Card “is not acceptable because it is given only to non-citizens.” Driver Privilege Cards (DPCs) are issued to non-U.S. citizens who are unable to demonstrate any sort of legal presence in the United States, so most holders are likely illegal aliens.

The manual instructs election workers that people who show a Driver Privilege Card may still cast “a regular ballot if (1) they are in your pollbook and (2) have another valid ID or sign an ID Confirmation Statement.” Neither of these requirements proves the would-be voter’s citizenship.

(If the voter can’t even meet those requirements, Prince William County says he may “vote a provisional ballot.”)

Although positive evidence of citizenship is not required to vote in Virginia, the presentation of a card that is only issued to noncitizens suggests that person is not eligible to vote. It is a federal crime — across the entire United States — for any noncitizen to cast a ballot in a U.S. federal election.

The Great Job Replacement: How Corporations Are Replacing American Workers With “Temporary Protected Status” Migrants Across Ohio & Pennsylvania

Another burgeoning crisis involving the importation of Haitian migrants is bubbling over, this time not in Ohio – but Pennsylvania too.

Recently at one of his rallies, former President Donald Trump spoke of Charleroi, Pennsylvania, detailing that the 4,000 person town has experienced a 2,000% surge in the Haitian migrant population under Kamala Harris.

Charleroi councilman, Larry Celaschi explained the worsening situation.

Councilman Celaschi says that Charleroi is getting no money or funding from having such a large number of Haitian migrants dumped in their town.

Celaschi describes that Charleroi is already unable to make ends meet with their budget and is now somehow expected to find extra revenue to bear the strain of an influx of Haitians on their town’s infrastructure.

Celaschi also explains that there has been a huge spike in car crashes and that the town needs new traffic signage in English and Creole so migrants can understand what to do when operating a vehicle on the roadways.

Over the past five years, 1.4 million native-born U.S. workers have lost their job. In that same span of time, 3 million foreign-born workers gained employment.

How Minnesota Allows Noncitizens to Vote Automatic Voter Registration at DMV

When Governor Tim Walz signed the Minnesota automatic voter registration bill into law in May 2023, most people assumed it would only allow eligible U.S. citizens to be automatically registered to vote. They were wrong.

U.S. citizenship is an eligibility requirement to vote in Minnesota, according to Article VII Section 1 of the State Constitution.

But now, with the new Minnesota drivers license application form, there are no questions, check boxes, or signed oaths regarding citizenship whatsoever, anywhere; only a paragraph, in the tiniest of print, at the very bottom of the form saying:

“If you provide documentation showing you are not a U.S. citizen at the time of application, no data will be sent to the Office of the Secretary of State.”

This craftily constructed sentence defines the ONLY criteria under which a new applicant’s data must not be sent to the Secretary of State and registered to vote.

There are no requirements on the form to show citizenship or even attest to it. That means if an illegal immigrant, with an easily obtainable SS#, chooses not to provide documentation showing they are not a U.S. citizen at the time of application, they will be automatically registered to vote.

The language appears to have been purposefully written to absolve state officials from any responsibility to protect Minnesota voter rolls and leaves the door wide open to voter fraud.

“Governor Walz and Secretary Simon are intent on destroying election safeguards in Minnesota. Our elections mean nothing if we don’t trust the people governing them.” – Andrew Cilek, Executive Director, Minnesota Voters Alliance (MVA)

The MVA has sent data requests to both the Commissioner of the Department of Public Safety and to the Secretary of State to address relevant statutory issues related to preventing noncitizens from registering to vote and voting. A response date is requested by September 24, 2024.

US-born workers lost 1.3 million jobs in last year, foreign-born workers gained 1.2 million

US-born workers lost over 1.3 million jobs in the past 12 months, while foreign-born workers gained more than 1.2 million jobs during the same period.

According to a review of Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data from Fox 13, as of August, there were 129.7 million native-born workers, down from 131 million in August of last year. Conversely, the number of foreign-born workers increased from 30.4 million to 31.6 million over the same period.

These figures emerge amid recent data from the Congressional Budget Office, showing that over 9 million immigrants have entered the United States since the beginning of the Biden administration, with about 6.5 million being illegal immigrants, according to Fox News. The jobs report from the BLS does not differentiate between foreign-born workers who are in the country legally versus those who are not.

Additionally, the latest jobs report fell short of expectations. Initially, it was projected that 160,000 new jobs would be added in August, but the actual number came in at 142,000. Despite this, the unemployment rate dropped slightly from 4.3 percent in July to 4.2 percent in August. The 4.3 percent rate in July was the highest since October 2021, a period when the country was still grappling with the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Great Replacement Job Shock: 1.3 Million Native-Born Americans Just Lost Their Jobs, Replaced by 635,000 Immigrants

At the start of the year, many months after we first pointed out that the biggest untold story of the US labor market was the “great replacement” of native born workers with foreign-born workers (most of whom we subsequently learned were illegal aliens), we asked how is the great replacement of US workers “not the biggest political talking point right now” considering that “since October 2019, native-born US workers have lost 1.4 million jobs; over the same period foreign-born workers have gained 3 million jobs.”

Nine months later, we are delighted to see that our relentless efforts to bring attention to this critical topic finally worked, and the relentless replacement of native-born workers with immigrants and illegal aliens was finally the biggest political and media talking point, as demonstrated by such articles as “How Immigration Remade the U.S. Labor Force” by the WSJ and “Without Immigrants, US Working-Age Population Would Shrink” from Bloomberg, both of which are an extension of the latest and greatest narrative, first spawned by Fed chair Powell, and then picked up by Goldman, which came down to the following: you can have (record) illegal immigration, or you can have even more (breakneck) inflation. So don’t be bad and just accept the roving gangs of Venezuelan murderers in your neighborhood if you know what’s good for you.

German police kept silent about rape of 12-year-old girl by Syrian national for 3 weeks

A 12-year-old girl is alleged to have been raped by a Syrian in a Braunschweig swimming pool, but the police kept the case quiet for several weeks. No measures are being taken against the alleged perpetrator.

Police and public prosecutors in Braunschweig are investigating a Syrian teen who allegedly raped a 12-year-old girl in a local swimming pool called the Wasserwelt (Water World). The 15-year-old foreigner first molested the child in the pool and then raped her in a changing room, reports the Braunschweiger Zeitung. The crime is said to have taken place on Aug. 10, at 5 p.m. but details are only being made public now, as the police kept mum about the case for three weeks.

The investigation was only confirmed after a reader contacted the regional newspaper, which then inquired with the authorities. According to the police, the incident had been kept quiet because the victim was still so young.

Trump Calls for Increased Immigration: ‘We Need More People, Especially With A.I. Coming’

Former President Donald Trump on Thursday called for increased immigration, insisting “we need more people, especially with AI coming.”

“We’re going to let a lot of people come in, because we need more people, especially with AI coming and all the different things,” Trump said. “And the farmers need, everybody needs but we’re going to make sure they’re not murderers and drug dealers.”

Trump’s position on AI puts him to the left of BlackRock CEO Larry Fink.

Fink, who has spent years pushing open borders and mass immigration onto America, told the World Economic Forum earlier this year that “xenophobic” countries with “declining populations” may actually be the “big winners” in a future dominated by AI and robotics.

The Great Immigration Experiment

You are living in an experiment. 

In March of this year, the foreign-born or immigrant population in the U.S.—both legal and illegal—hit record highs.

  • 51.6 million people in the U.S. are foreign-born
  • That is more than 15 percent of the population of this country—higher than at any time in our nation’s history.
  • Many consider these immigrants to be “workers,” but more than half of the immigrants who arrived since 2022 are not employed.
  • And of the approximately 2.5 million recent arrivals who are not employed only about 8 percent say they are actively looking for work.  
  • Immigrants make up over a fifth of residents in California, New Jersey, New York, Texas, and Florida. 
  • But less populous states are also seeing unprecedented immigration growth, with immigrant populations growing by 40 percent or more in Delaware, North and South Dakota, and West Virginia.

An experiment is a test to discover if something works. 

The numbers I’ve just described are a national experiment. And the American people are the guinea pigs.

We know this is an experiment—a test, for which we don’t know the outcome—because this level of immigration is new and different in at least three ways. 

First, the scale. The amount of immigration we are experiencing is unlike anything our country has experienced before. The U.S. is home to more international migrants than any other country in the world, and more than the next four countries on the list combined. And in fact, no country in modern history has experienced numbers like these.

Second, the speed. Nine million aliens entered the country in all of the 1990s; now 10 million have entered during just the first three years of the Biden administration, with 58 percent of that increase coming as illegal immigration. This growth is far greater than even our government predictions would expect. The federal census data from 2020 predicted that the foreign-born population of the U.S. would not hit 15 percent until 2033. Yet it is 2024 and we have already surpassed that prediction.

Third, this wave of immigration is unprecedented in its diversity. Previous waves of immigration tended to come from particular parts of the world, that made absorption easier. But now, immigrants come from every corner of the globe, speak every language and dialect, worship every kind of god, and reflect every culture that exists on the planet.

And all of this matters because immigration can only be sustained when it can be assimilated. This is not a new idea—our Founders discussed and agreed on this point. As Jefferson put it: immigrants “should distribute themselves sparsely among the natives for quicker amalgamation.”
