Can someone please tell me how desperate, destitute Africans afford trans-Atlantic airfare? Plus, DHS reveals that hundreds of illegal immigrants attempting to cross the U.S. southern border were found to have criminal histories in the U.S.
It's almost like it's all orchestrated by a monied, open-borders cabal. But that's just crazy talk!
From Sophie Tanno at The Daily Mail UK:
"There have been over 44,000 apprehensions of illegal immigrants at the Del Rio Sector so far this year. That's already more than double the total number of arrests made last year. The migrants are coming to America after flying across the Atlantic Ocean to South America and then embarking on an often harrowing overland journey.
A 'majority' cannot be in two distinct groups at the same time & place. Plus, 'It is understood' is not a phrase that bestows veracity upon the declaration that follows. Got sources? What's the ratio between family units and single adults? Is 'single adults' a obfuscation for 'military-age men?'
While it is not always clear which path the migrants take to reach the US, it is understood that some travel from their home countries through Brazil, before travelling north through Colombia and Central America towards the US-Mexico border. Many of the immigrants in Texas were from the Republic of the Congo, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Angola.
Cameroonians have also been traveling up through Mexico and into the US in larger numbers and seeking asylum at ports of entry. Also on the waiting list are Ethiopians, Eritreans, Mauritanians, Sudanese and Congolese.
It is understood the majority of those apprehended are in family units or single adults."
'It is understood' that the answer is most likely yes, based upon this recent DHS revelation: Hundreds of migrant caravan members found to have US criminal histories.
From Brooke Singman at Fox News:
"The DHS files were provided to House Oversight Committee Republicans in May and included internal data showing more than 1,000 migrants traveling as part of caravans to the border within the past nine months had “U.S. criminal histories” and hundreds had “U.S. criminal convictions.”Finally, a bit of sanity in a sea of chaos: "Federal judge allows Trump asylum restrictions to continue."
The files detailed one migrant caravan of nearly 8,000 individuals that started toward the border in October 2018 and arrived south of California by December. According to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), 660 of them had U.S. criminal convictions—with 40 convicted of assault or aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, and three convicted of murder.
In January 2019, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) tracked another caravan that left Honduras with more than 3,300 migrants. ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) team identified that 860 of those individuals had U.S. criminal histories, including more than 20 convicted of assault or aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, nearly 30 convicted of sexual offenses, two convicted of violence against law enforcement, and one convicted of attempted murder."
Allows. Really? The POTUS has plenary power granted by the Constitution and Congressional statute to control immigration and defend the borders. But it's The Hill, so forget about it, Jake.
Try this more accurate Constitutional assessment: Trump administration scores win over challenge to asylum restriction.
"The rule, published in the Federal Register last week, requires people seeking asylum to first apply in one of the countries they pass through on their way to the U.S., with certain exceptions. The rule was quickly met with a legal challenge from advocacy groups, who moved for a temporary restraining order blocking the rule. After a hearing in Washington, D.C. federal court, District Judge Timothy J. Kelly denied the motion. The rule will remain in place for the duration of the case, unless the decision is successfully appealed.For those who don't speak Robert 'Beto' Francis O'Rourke-ese, 'inhumane' translates as 'thwarted undocumented Democrat voters.'
...The policy follows the Trump administration's Migrant Protection Protocols, commonly referred to as the "remain in Mexico" policy. Under that policy, asylum seekers were often told to go back to Mexico to await hearings, rather than be allowed to remain in the U.S.
Democrats railed against that policy, with 2020 hopeful Beto O'Rourke(D) calling it "inhumane."
"A reduction in asylum seekers would ease the burden on federal agencies currently overwhelmed by the volume of individuals seeking entry into the U.S."
