Attorney General Jeff Sessions said.

“We are not going to let this country be invaded!

We will not be stampeded!

We will not capitulate to lawlessness!

This is NOT business as usual.

This is the Trump era!," the Attorney General said.

Weatherby left Southern California last year after being there since it's founding about 65 years ago and moved to Wyoming. The blue states that somehow think that the public is going to put up with this crap indefinitely is starting to figure out that that they are betting on a dead horse.

Magpul left Colorado for Wyoming a couple of years ago.
The media and education company 'Student of the Gun" moved its entire staff to Saratoga Wyoming in April of 2017.
HiViz Shooting Systems moved to Laramie Wyoming from Fort Collins Colorado in 2013, to get away from Colorado's increasingly hostile climate.
Wyoming welcomes gun and gun accessory business.
I left Nevada for Arizona after liberals Mexifornicated Nevada. Now they're starting in on Arizona. Fortunately I probably won't live long enough to see AZ go down.

Goodbye Mexifornia, New York, Illinois: Blue State Exodus Will Accelerate?
5/2/18 by: Mike Shedlock
People are exiting "blue" states and the reason isn't the weather. The Trump tax cuts will accelerate the exodus.
A Chicago Tribune commentary says Hello, exodus deniers:
No, it isn't Illinois' weather.
"For four years in a row, Illinois has lost population in alarming numbers. In 2017, Illinois lost a net 33,703 residents, the largest numerical population decline of any state. That’s the size of St. Charles or Woodridge or Galesburg. Wiped off the map. In one year."
Asked why they were leaving people overwhelming said taxes or the illinois budget mess.
“We could handle the cold, avoid the crime and pay the tax. But the government turned on us (property, income, sales, parking, red-light/speed cameras, bags, soda). Never-ending. Tired of paying for everyone else's retirement before mine,” said one respondent.
Trump Tax Cut Will Accelerate the Trend:
The Wall Street Journal reports blue states will lose millions of people in the years to come—and they aren’t ready.
It's a case of So Long, Mexifornia. Sayonara, New York.
"As the Trump tax cut was being debated in December, Mexifornia’s Gov. Jerry Brown called the bill “evil in the extreme” and fumed that it would “divide the hell out of us.”
He’s right—but in the end, this change could be good for all the states!
In the years to come, millions of people, thousands of businesses, and tens of billions of dollars of net income 'will flee high-tax blue states' for low-tax red states.
This migration has been happening for years!
But the Trump tax bill’s cap on the deduction for state and local taxes, or SALT, will accelerate the pace.
The losers will be most of the Northeast, along with Mexifornia.
The winners are likely to be states like Arizona, Nevada, Tennessee, Texas and Utah.
For years blue states have exported a third or more of their tax burden to residents of other states. In places like Mexifornia, where the top income-tax rate exceeds 13%, that tax could be deducted on a federal return. Now that deduction for state and local taxes will be capped at $10,000 per family.
Consider what this means if you’re a high-income earner in Silicon Valley or Hollywood. The top tax rate that you actually pay just jumped from about 8.5% to 13%. Similar figures hold if you live in Manhattan, once New York City’s income tax is factored in. If you earn $10 million or more, your taxes might increase a whopping 50%.
About 90% of taxpayers are unaffected by the change.
But high earners in places with hefty income taxes—not just Mexifornia and New York, but also Minnesota and New Jersey—will bear more of the true cost of their state government. Also in big trouble are Connecticut and Illinois, where the overall state and local tax burden (especially property taxes) is so onerous that high-income residents will feel the burn now that they can’t deduct these costs on their federal returns.
On the other side are nine states—including Florida, Nevada, Texas and Washington—that impose no tax at all on earned income.
Delusional liberal interest groups want blue states to respond to the Trump tax cuts by soaking their rich residents even more.
If that happens, our best advice to blue-state residents is simple:
"Git while the gittin’s good!"
"As the Trump tax cut was being debated in December, Mexifornia’s Gov. Jerry Brown called the bill “evil in the extreme” and fumed that it would “divide the hell out of us.” He’s right—but in the end, this change could be good for all the states!
In the years to come, millions of people, thousands of businesses, and tens of billions of dollars of net income will flee high-tax blue states for low-tax red states.
"Git while the gittin’s good."

Of Course: NFL Suspends National Anthem Rules Due to Objections From Racist, Overpaid Players.
7/20/18 by: Katie Pavlich
The NFL is crawfishing on new National Anthem rules for the upcoming 2018 season after objections from the players' union.
Hours after The Associated Press reported that Miami Dolphins players who protest on the field during the anthem could be suspended for up to four games under a team policy issued this week, the league and the players union issued a joint statement late Thursday night saying the two sides are talking things out.
“The NFL and NFLPA, through recent discussions, have been working on a resolution to the anthem issue. In order to allow this constructive dialogue to continue, we have come to a standstill agreement on the NFLPA’s grievance and on the NFL’s anthem policy. No new rules relating to the anthem will be issued or enforced for the next several weeks while these confidential discussions are ongoing,” the statement read. “The NFL and NFLPA reflect the great values of America, which are repeatedly demonstrated by the many players doing extraordinary work in communities across our country to promote equality, fairness and justice. Our shared focus will remain on finding a solution to the anthem issue through mutual, good faith commitments, outside of litigation.”
The issue has dominated headlines over the past two seasons, caused division and alienated some fans.
The new rules were announced by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell in May. They require players on the field to stand during the National Anthem. Those who choose not to, can wait in the locker room.
1. All team and league personnel on the field shall stand and show respect for the flag and the Anthem.
2. The Game Operations Manual will be revised to remove the requirement that all players be on the field for the Anthem.
3. Personnel who choose not to stand for the Anthem may stay in the locker room or in a similar location off the field until after the Anthem has been performed.
4. A club will be fined by the League if its personnel are on the field and do not stand and show respect for the flag and the Anthem.
5. Each club may develop its own work rules, consistent with the above principles, regarding its personnel who do not stand and show respect for the flag and the Anthem.
6. The Commissioner will impose appropriate discipline on league personnel who do not stand and show respect for the flag and the Anthem.
When the rules were announced, the player's association immediately objected and issued a statement condemning NFL officials for failing to consult with athletes beforehand.
"The policy adopted today was approved in concert with the NFL’s ongoing commitment to local communities and our country — one that is extraordinary in its scope, resources, and alignment with our players.
We are dedicated to continuing our collaboration with players to advance the goals of justice and fairness in all corners of our society," Goodell said at the time. "The efforts by many of our players sparked awareness and action around issues of social justice that must be addressed. The platform that we have created together is certainly unique in professional sports and quite likely in American business. We are honored to work with our players to drive progress."
"It was unfortunate that on-field protests created a the true perception among many that thousands of NFL players were unpatriotic!
"This season, all league and team personnel shall stand and show respect for the flag and the Anthem. Personnel who choose not to stand for the Anthem may stay in the locker room until after the Anthem has been performed. We believe today’s decision will keep our focus on the game and the extraordinary athletes who play it—and on our fans who enjoy it." ***WHAT A CROCK !!! ***
The NFL has seen ratings severely decline for the past two seasons. According to polling of fans, kneeling during the Anthem is the main reason why they're tuning out.

islamic Terror Attack? - Thwarted at a Mexifornia Mall, Police Keeping Quiet.?
7/19/18 By: Laura Loomer
Evidence suggests that the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Office and Los Cerritos Shopping Center in Mexifornia are keeping quiet about a possible thwarted Islamic terror attack.
Steve Amundson is the founder of the Counter Jihad Coalition (CTC), an organization dedicated to countering jihad on the streets.
On Saturday, July 7, 2018, Amundson was at the Los Cerritos shopping mall with a pastor passing out literature about islam and the threat it poses to America and other Western nations.
CJC, which received pre-approved permission from the mall to have a booth experienced what appears to be an attempted but thwarted act of terror against their anti-terror booth inside the mall.
While passing out literature, Amundson says an unidentified Muslim man who was wearing a backpack approached his colleague.
According to Amundson, the muslim man became irate and began arguing with the Pastor who was sitting at the table. Before leaving the table, Amundson says he witnessed the muslim man strategically place his backpack underneath the CJC booth and walk away.
When Amundson saw the man walk away without his backpack, he said he immediately asked his colleague, the Pastor, whether or not he knew the man and if he was watching his backpack for him. When the Pastor said no, Amundson immediately alerted the mall security.
The events that unfolded next are shocking, and quite disturbing. Amundson told Big League Politics that after he alerted mall security, they approached the man and asked him if the backpack was his.
The muslum said the backpack did belong to him, but he then refused to retrieve his backpack!
After a discussion with security, the muslim man walked away with security, and security carefully took the backpack.
Over the past six months that Amundson and his colleagues have been tabling, he has experienced an increase in physical attacks against himself and his booth. For this reason, Amundson says he and his colleagues are trained to detect security threats and what they call “red flags”.
While passing out literature on Saturday, Amundson says he witnessed and documented several red flags at the Los Cerritos Shopping Center.
The first red flag occurred when two muslim men inside the mall began snapping pictures of the CJC booth and making phone calls shortly after. Amundson witnessed this and recognized it as “red flag one.”
The second red flag occurred when two muslim women approached the booth and began cursing at the CJC’s booth operators, calling them liars.
Mall security observed the hostile interaction and began speaking to the two women. It was at that moment when the two muslim women distracted security that a white haired muslim male walked over to the booth and slid his backpack under that table.
“I told security he left a backpack underneath our booth. The muslim refused to take the backpack.
We started to take cover behind cement pillars and told security to either call the bomb squad or have the thug pick up the backpack,” Amundson said.
“He finally agreed to very carefully pick it up and security escorted him away.
Security will not say if he was arrested, if the bomb squad was called or what. Was this a dry run or the real thing”?
According to Amundson, it is unknown whether mall security or police searched the muslim man’s backpack, and the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Office has not yet released a statement about the events that transpired.
Amundson’s experience at the shopping center is disturbing and concerning for many reasons, primarily because it appears as though the mall security and Sheriff’s Office are actively working to keep the public and Amundson in the dark about what appears to be a dry run of a jihadi attack!!
What happened to Amundson at the shopping center is a very serious incident the needs to be further investigated and disclosed to the public to ensure that people are aware of the threat that is clearly present within their own community!
The fact that police and mall security are not disclosing to Amundson and the public the contents of the man’s back pack and why he placed it under the Counter Jihad table is egregious, given the fact that acts of terrorism involving a similar tactics have been carried out across the United States and Europe, as jihadis continue to increase their aggressiveness, outreach, recruitment, and continued violence and attacks here in the United States.
In October of 2017, Vicente A. Solano was arrested at Dolphin Mall in Miami, Florida after police say he was attempting to blow up the mall with a bomb he placed inside a shopping bag. Police say the man had been making ISIS videos and was being monitored by the FBI before he was arrested by agents at the mall where he was planning on setting off a bomb inside the food court.

Amundson’s said a police report has been filed, and that police and mall security have a picture of the Muslim man who placed the backpack underneath the CJC table.

When Amundson returned to the mall to fill out another application to have another booth inside the shopping center on Saturday, mall security rejected his application in an email. “We reviewed the application for July 21, and we are not able to approve it under the circumstances. We base our decision upon our significant safety concern, which we discussed with you last week after having reviewed the Center’s video footage and your organization’s description of the incident as a credible threat of violence or “dry-run,” along with photos on its website. While we understand your organization’s right to engage in free speech subject to reasonable time, place and manner rules, we must consider the safety of the Center’s patrons,” said mall security from Los Cerritos Shopping Center.
According to Los Cerritos Shopping Center’s statement, it is evident that the mall security has chosen to appease the violent and overly aggressive muslims who were screaming at Amundson and the Pastor at the CJC booth by NOT ALLOWING Amundson and his colleagues to have their booth.
Instead of explaining what type of credible threat was present and what was seen on the video footage mentioned in the statement, mall security chose to punish Amundson, who ultimately was targeted and harassed by muslims inside the mall for exercising his free speech at a booth he had permission to use while passing out literature.
Amundson is actually being punished for speaking up when he saw what he believed was an attempt by an angry muslim man to set off a bomb inside the mall in an attempt to silence critics of islam.
It is rather egregious for Los Cerritos Shopping Center to claim that Amundson’s booth, as opposed to an aggressive muslim placing a backpack under a table inside the mall and refusing to pick it up, is what would jeopardize the safety of the Center’s patrons.
Americans are constantly told, ‘If you see something, say something”, and they are constantly reminded at entertainment events and at airports to alert security if they come across unclaimed bags or backpacks, as it is through unclaimed bags and back backs that terrorists often set off explosions in crowded places!
However, as Amundon’s experience further proves, when Americans do speak up and say something when they see something, they are punished and often accused of being racist or islamophobic.
It is for this very reason that many terror suspects and jihadis go unreported and why acts of terrorism that could have been prevented occur. People who dare speak up are often treated worse than the criminals and terrorist suspects themselves, which makes it more of a hassle for average Americans to speak up and file reports with law enforcement officials.
Patrons of the Los Cerritos Shopping Center should be more concerned about muslims potentially placing explosives inside backpacks at the mall, not a man who is peacefully passing out pamphlets about islam and sharia law in an attempt to educate people about the threat Islam poses to America.
It is a common tactic used by islamists to use violence and intimidation to silence those who speak out against islam.
The evidence laid out suggests islamists attempted to bomb, or conduct a dry run at the Los Cerritos Center in Mexifornia on July 7, 2018.
The frightening incident that Amundson and his colleagues experienced and reported to the mall security at Los Cerritos Center, as well as the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Office is one of numerous incidents across the United States that have been carried out by jihadis who wish to silence those who educate the public about the threat of islam.
This is a developing investigative report, and Big League Politics will be monitoring it closely and updating the story.

Hundreds at vigils mourn victims of Branson boat accident.
7/20/18 by: AP News
BRANSON, Mo. — A Missouri town known for its country shows and entertainment mourned Friday after 17 people — including nine from one family — were killed when a tourist boat sank on churning water in a sudden storm.
The grief-stricken community hosted two separate vigils Friday night. In one, about 300 people gathered in the parking lot of Ride the Ducks of Branson and sang "Amazing Grace." Mourners at a church sang the same words.
"Even though we may not know any of them it doesn't matter," said Tammy Miesner, 54, of Branson. "It's a part of our lives to be there for each other."
Earlier, Mayor Karen Best said Branson is typically a city "full of smiles ... But today we are grieving and crying."
Divers found the final four bodies Friday in Table Rock Lake near Branson after the deadliest accident of its kind in nearly two decades.
State and federal investigators were trying to determine what sent the vessel known as a duck boat to its demise. An initial assessment blamed thunderstorms and winds that approached hurricane strength, but it wasn't clear why the amphibious vehicle even ventured out into the water.
Officials haven't released names of the victims, but the sad details emerged throughout the day.
Among them: A popular duck boat driver, a father and son visiting from Arkansas, and nine relatives from Indiana, many of them children, who were on the ill-fated boat only because of a mix-up.
The risk of heavy weather was apparent hours before the boat left shore. The National Weather Service in Springfield, about 40 miles north of Branson, issued a severe thunderstorm watch for its immediate area Thursday, saying conditions were ripe for winds of 70 mph.
It followed up at 6:32 p.m. with a severe thunderstorm warning for three counties that included Branson and the lake. The warning mentioned both locations.
The boat went down about 40 minutes later, shortly after 7 p.m.
"When we issue a warning, it means take action," meteorologist Kelsey Angle said.
A full investigation was underway, with help from the Coast Guard and the National Transportation Safety Board.
Stone County Sheriff Doug Rader urged anyone with video or photos of the accident to contact authorities.
The agencies were briefing Missouri's two senators on the accident. Democrat Claire McCaskill said she would look into possible "legislative solutions," while Republican Roy Blunt called it a "tragedy that never should have happened."
At the rally at the duck boat business, the Rev. Zachary Klein said he had no words of comfort to offer the families of victims "because there simply are no words to comfort them."
Suzanne Smagala with Ripley Entertainment, which owns Ride the Ducks in Branson, said the company was assisting authorities. She said this was the company's only accident in more than 40 years of operation.
Twenty-nine passengers and two crew members were aboard for a pleasure cruise. Seven of the 14 survivors were hurt when the vessel went down. At least two children and two adults were still hospitalized Friday afternoon. The captain survived, authorities said.
Among the injured was 14-year-old Loren Smith of Osceola, Arkansas. Her father, 53-year-old retired math teacher Steve, Smith, and her 15-year-old brother, Lance, died in the accident. Loren suffered a concussion but survived.
"It's a hard thing," Steve Smith's father, Carroll Smith, said of losing his only child and his only grandson. "It's a very difficult day."
Brayden Malaske, of Harrah, Oklahoma, boarded a replica 19th-century paddle-wheeler known as the Branson Belle on the same lake just before the storm hit. At the time, he said, the water seemed calm, and no one was worried about the weather.
"But it suddenly got very dark," he recalled.
In a short video taken by Malaske from the deck of the Belle, the duck boat can be seen wallowing through the choppy, wind-whipped lake, with water only inches from its windows. Dark, rolling waves crash over its front end. The footage ends before the boat capsizes.
Later, people on Malaske's boat saw a duck boat passenger "hanging on for dear life" to the paddle wheel of the Belle, he said.
The mayor identified the crew member operating the boat as Bob Williams, known informally as "Captain Bob."
"He was a great ambassador for Branson," Best said. "He was at every event. He knew everyone. He was always promoting Branson."
A survivor from the family who lost nine relatives said the captain told passengers not to bother grabbing life jackets.
Tia Coleman told Indianapolis television station WXIN that she and a nephew were the only survivors among 11 relatives aboard the boat. She said she lost all her children, but she did not say how many.
Coleman said the captain told passengers that they would not need life jackets. By the time of the accident, "it was too late."
An email message seeking comment from Ripley Entertainment about Coleman's comment was not returned.
Tracy Beck, of Kansas City, Missouri, said she recalled the family members waiting in line and blamed a possible ticket mix-up for them ending up on the ill-fated boat. She said the ticket taker realized after they stopped for a photo that they should have boarded at a different location and assigned them new tickets.
Named for their ability to travel on land and in water, duck boats have been involved in other serious accidents in the past, including the deaths of more than 40 people since 1999.
Five college students were killed in 2015 in Seattle when a duck boat collided with a bus.
Thirteen people died in 1999 when a boat sank near Hot Springs, Arkansas.
"Duck boats are death traps," said Andrew Duffy, an attorney whose Philadelphia law firm handled litigation related to two fatal duck boat accidents there. "They're not fit for water or land because they are half car and half boat."
Safety advocates have sought improvements and complained that too many agencies regulate the boats with varying safety requirements.
The boats were originally designed for the military, specifically to transport troops and supplies in World War II. They were later modified for use as sightseeing vehicles.
The sheriff said Thursday that two duck boats were on the water at the time of the storm. Both were headed back to land. One returned safely. The other did not.
Divers quickly located the sunken vessel, which came to rest on its wheels on the lakebed. Authorities planned to recover it at some point in the next few days.
The boat sank in 40 feet of water and then rolled on its wheels into a deeper area with 80 feet of water.
The Ride the Ducks tour begins in downtown Branson, where the vehicles take passengers on a tour while the captain cracks jokes and points out landmarks. Eventually, the boats pull up to the lake and slowly enter the water with a small splash.
After a few minutes on the water, the vehicles return to land and to their home base, which features a store selling candy and souvenirs.
Table Rock Lake, east of Branson, was created in the late 1950s when the Corps of Army Engineers built a dam across the White River to provide hydroelectric power to the Ozarks.

ICE Just Arrested Dozens of Illegal Aliens in a Sanctuary City, the Majority Have Serious Criminal Records.
7/20/18 by: Katie Pavlich
Immigration and Customs Enforcement, that most Democrats want to abolish, recently conducted a raid in Newark, New Jersey and arrested dozens of illegal aliens. The overwhelming majority have serious criminal records!
ICE targeted Illegal aliens who had been incarcerated in the Middlesex County Jail and released into the community by local law enforcement without notice to federal immigration officials.
The aliens arrested had ICE detainers that were not honored. Newark is a "sanctuary city."
"Of those arrested, 16 subjects had been previously released by MCJ without honoring the ICE detainer and 78% had prior criminal convictions or pending criminal charges. The individuals arrested as part of the operation were nationals of Brazil, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, India, Ivory Coast, Mexico, Nigeria, Peru, and Turkey," ICE released Friday. "These individuals range from 21 to 68 years old and all were previously arrested or convicted of a variety of offenses. Some of the arrests and convictions included: aggravated criminal sexual contact, aggravated assault, DUI, hindering apprehension, endangering the welfare of a child, battery, theft, burglary, possession of a weapon, forgery, domestic violence assault, disorderly conduct, and illegal entry."
ICE also provided additional details on the individuals released by Middlesex County Jail. Here are a few:
A 32-year-old citizen of Mexico was arrested by the New Brunswick Police Department on August 12, 2016, in Middlesex County for Aggravated Sexual Assault- Helpless Victim, Aggravated Criminal Sexual Contact, Sexual Assault-Force/Coercion, and Criminal Sexual Contact and booked into the Middlesex County Jail. On August 16, 2016, ICE issued a detainer. On May 18, 2018, he was convicted of Aggravated Criminal Sexual Contact and sentenced to 644 days’ time served, parole supervision for life and registration under Megan’s Law. On May 21, 2018, Middlesex County Jail refused to honor the detainer and he was released.
A 68-year-old citizen of Mexico was arrested by the Perth Amboy Police Department on January 23, 2009, in Middlesex County for the crimes of murder–purposely and hinder prosecution-false info and was booked into the Middlesex County Jail. On June 14, 2011, he was convicted of aggravated manslaughter and hinder own prosecution-false info and was sentenced to 25 years imprisonment in state prison. On May 5, 2015, the subject was transferred from state prison back to the custody of the Middlesex County Jail as he appealed his convictions. On May 5, 2015, ICE issued a detainer to Middlesex County Jail. On May 22, 2018, the original charge was overturned and he was found guilty of a single felony charge of hindering-oneself-give false information and sentenced to time served. Even though an ICE detainer was previously issued he was released.
A 27-year-old citizen of the Dominican Republic was arrested by the Perth Amboy Police Department on January 25, 2018, in Middlesex County for aggravated assault - significant bodily injury to a victim of domestic violence, criminal restraint – hold victim, possession of a weapon for unlawful purpose, unlawful possession of a weapon and booked into the Middlesex County Jail. On January 30, 2018, ICE issued a detainer, but the detainer was not honored and he was released.
“ERO [Enforcement and Removal] New Jersey will continue to enforce ICE’s commitment to public safety,” Acting Field Office Director of ERO in Newark Ruben Perez released in a statement. “Middlesex county, which aspires to be a ‘sanctuary county’ by protecting criminal aliens, in the process assists criminals in undermining federal law, and creates a dangerous environment in the community!
It also overburdens local law enforcement. ICE will continue to execute its mission in such communities.”

Trump Confirms He Will Fix Border Issue By Exec. Order Or Law!
6/20/18 by: TTN Staff
Speaking on Wednesday, President Trump confirmed that he will fix the border issue. Trump said "I'll be signing something..." possibly referring to an executive order. He also said it will be matched by legislation.
According to The Hill:
President Trump on Wednesday said he will sign "something" intended to end his administration's controversial practice of separating children from their parents who illegally cross the southern border.
"I’ll be signing something in a little while that’s going to do that," Trump told reporters at the White House. "I’ll be doing something that’s somewhat preemptive and ultimately will be matched by legislation I’m sure."
Details about the order remain unknown.
The move would be a major reversal for Trump and comes after the president and his top aides insisted for days that only Congress could halt family separations at the border.
Congress has failed to act, so President Trump appears to be taking matters into his own hands. This is an issue that should garner bipartisan support but has continually been obstructed by the Democrats.
Our President will never do anything that the opposition parties will approve of. The opposition parties are all haters, and rabble rousers who essentially can't agree with any conservatism.
ALL congress has been doing is kicking problems down the road NOT fixing them! THEY have been sucking the American people dry ,at 5 to 6 MILLION dollars per year per official and this does NOT include campaign MONEY,lobbyist MONEY and KICKBACKS AND BRIBES !!!!!
Congress is gridlocked because democrats oppose everything and still have some power because that is the way that the framers designed the legislative process, that is to say, the minority can still block legislation and have a voice so that bare minimum majorities do not dominate the body. Plus, there are plenty of RINOs and never-Trump republicans who won't support conservative legislation. Bottom line, we need more conservative congressmen so that there is a overwhelming majority!
The best (and probably only) solution is for we at the grass roots to vote more democrats OUT and also vote the RINO's out. It has been VERY rarely reported that the democrats lost about one thousand state and federal legislative seats during the obuma administration as a backlash to obuma's socialist/communist/Marxist ways. So we know it IS possible to get rid of them!
Simple solution: NEVER VOTE FOR ANOTHER DEMOCRAT-----EVER!
They have shown the entire USA that it is always about THEM & to hell with the rest of the USA!

National Guard Aided Arrest Of 10,000 Deportable Aliens!
7/18/18 by: 1600 Staff
President Trump’s recent deployment of the National Guard has led to nearly 11,000 arrests.
From the Washington Examiner:
The National Guard’s deployment to the southwest border in mid-April has led to 10,805 “deportable alien arrests” of people who illegally entered the United States from Mexico, a U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokeswoman said Monday. Because guardsmen are military personnel and not law enforcement officers, they cannot apprehend illegal immigrants. But CBP officers and Border Patrol agents apprehended thousands of people that guardsmen helped point out.
The National Guard’s presence also helped lead to the interception of more than 3,300 others who were turned back before they crossed into the U.S., CBP press secretary Corry Schiermeyer said in an email to the Washington Examiner. The Guard’s deployment has also led to an additional 11,686 pounds of marijuana being seized as a result of their work. There are 1,601 National Guard troops at the border assisting with various surveillance, maintenance, and related operations. That number could tick up considerably if the 4,000 National Guard troops President Trump approved on April 4 are called on in a future request from CBP.
Troops are providing support from the air, surveillance backup, and assistance with infrastructure projects like vegetation clearing and road maintenance, not including border wall construction. Another task is to specifically free up agents to leave their desks and get back out to the field. The troops monitoring remote video surveillance systems have then been able to report sightings to a greater field of agents, and thus the number of apprehensions has increased, officials said.
The deployment is funded through September 30, 2018. Several liberal governors have pulled their troops from the effort, but the results are certainly welcome news to a nation concerned with the ongoing threats from gangs, drugs and terrorism!
The bottom line is that the border can be secured, if Washington allocates the resources, which is the point that President Trump has campaigned on since 2015.
What to know about sanctuary cities:
During President Donald J. Trump’s visit to Mexifornia recently to examine prototypes for a border wall with Mexico, he explained the danger of “sanctuary cities” that refuse to cooperate with lawful Federal immigration enforcement.
“Mexifornia’s sanctuary policies are illegal and unconstitutional and put the safety and security of our entire nation at risk,” the President tweeted. “Thousands of dangerous & violent criminal aliens are released as a result of sanctuary policies.”
A few important facts about sanctuary cities:
◾When sanctuary city officials warn illegal aliens about possible upcoming enforcement activities, they allow criminals to prepare themselves—and thus endanger innocent bystanders.
◾Sanctuary policies in Mexifornia have allowed the release of numerous criminals charged with serious crimes who could continue to harm communities.
◾If Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials cannot arrest criminals in the controlled environments of police stations or jails, they must perform these duties in workplaces, in residences, or on the streets.
“We must restore integrity and the rule of law at our borders.” President Trump
President Trump Is keeping his Promises!
BUILDING STRONGER BORDERS:
President Donald J. Trump is visiting prototypes for the border wall designed to help secure our Southwest border.
◾President Trump is visiting the eight Southwest border wall prototypes located near San Diego, Mexifornia.
◾The President signed Executive Order 13767 on Border Security and Immigration Enforcement Improvements shortly after taking office. The order called for the planning, design, and construction of a border wall.
◾Construction of the eight border wall prototypes was completed in late October 2017.
◾The border wall prototypes each stand approximately 30 feet high; four were constructed with concrete and four were constructed with other materials.
◾A period of testing and evaluation began following the completion of construction.
◾During the period of testing and evaluation, the prototypes were assessed on a range of characteristics including: ◾Anti-breaching capabilities
◾Anti-climbing capabilities,
◾Impedance and denial of traffic, and
◾Border Patrol agent safety.
WALLS WORK:
Physical barriers such as walls are a proven, effective means of securing our Southwest border.
◾For more than 30 years, physical barriers have proven to provide a significant boost to border security, especially when complemented by the right combination of technology and personnel.
◾A case study by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) showed the effectiveness of physical barriers in the Yuma Sector along the border in Arizona. ◾In 2005, the Yuma Sector was inundated with illegal border crossings and drug smuggling.
◾There were 138,438 illegal alien apprehensions in the Yuma Sector during fiscal year (FY) 2005.
◾From 2006 to 2007, the Yuma Sector added 23 miles of primary pedestrian wall and added more than 600 additional agents, along with other security infrastructure.
◾After implementing these security measures, the Yuma Sector experienced an 82% decrease in illegal entries and illegal drug seizures jumped by more than 8,000%!
◾When coupled with technology and agents, physical barriers such as walls provide a comprehensive system that further enhances border security.
BORDER SECURITY NEEDS:
More resources are needed to secure our borders and deter illegal immigration.
◾Despite dedicated efforts by President Trump’s Administration, more resources are needed to fully secure our Southwest border.
◾In May 2017, the United States began seeing a month-to-month increase in Southwest border apprehensions.
◾During FY 2017, CBP reported 310,531 apprehensions by Border Patrol agents.
◾More than 140,000 arrests and more than 225,000 removals were made by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) in FY 2017.
◾Securing our borders is key to cutting off the flow of illegal drugs into our country, as most attempts to smuggle illicit contraband into the United States occur along the Southwest border.
◾In FY 2017, Border Patrol seized 9,346 pounds of cocaine, 953 pounds of heroin, 861,231 pounds of marijuana, and 10,328 pounds of methamphetamine.
◾Border Patrol seizures of fentanyl in FY 2018, 221 pounds, have already exceed the total for all of FY 2017, 181 pounds.
◾Two milligrams of fentanyl is a lethal dose, meaning the 221 pounds seized this fiscal year through February is enough to kill more than 50 million Americans.
◾Strengthening our borders will help protect our communities from threats such as MS-13 and other transnational gangs.
◾Border Patrol agents arrested 536 gang-affiliated illegal aliens in FY 2017, more than 40 percent of whom were affiliated with MS-13.
◾In FY 2017, ICE Homeland Security Investigations made 4,818 criminal arrests related to gang activity, including nearly 800 MS-13 gang members.
◾There are more gang-affiliated aliens that need to be arrested, detained, and removed from our country.
A FRAMEWORK FOR SECURING OUR BORDERS:
President Trump has released an immigration framework which provides the tools needed to secure our borders.
◾In January, President Trump released an immigration framework for policies that would provide the resources required to secure our borders and to end catch and release.
◾President Trump’s framework includes a $25 billion fund for the border wall system, ports of entry and exit, and Northern border improvements.
◾President Trump’s framework also called on the Congress to close the legal loopholes that prevent us from quickly removing criminal aliens.
◾Public polling shows that the American public understands our current border security is inadequate and supports efforts to improve it.
◾A Harvard-Harris poll from January showed that 61% of those polled believe our current border security is inadequate.
◾54% of those polled by Harvard-Harris support building a combination of physical and electronic barriers along our Southwest border

The Asylum Phenomenon on the Southern Border.  

 7/4/18 by: Betsy McCaughey 

People hoping to settle in the United States wait years for a green card to be legal residents. They play by the rules. These law-abiding newcomers must feel like idiots, watching what's happening on the southern border.

 Hundreds of thousands of Central American migrants are walking right in! They're not waiting in line. They're using "asylum" requests as their E-ZPass.

 Just 12% of requests from El Salvadorans, 11% from Guatemalans and 7.5% from Hondurans are actually granted, according to the Department of Homeland Security. Never mind, the request gets them in.

 It's a shameful distortion of a program intended to provide a haven for true victims of state-sponsored religious, ethnic and political persecution.

 The U.S. offered asylum to Hungarian anti-communists after their uprising was crushed by the Soviets in 1956; to Cubans fleeing Castro's prisons; to Vietnamese after the fall of Saigon to the Communists in 1975; to Chinese political dissidents escaping the crackdown after Tiananmen Square in 1989; and more recently, to Chinese Christians and muslims threatened for practicing their religion.

 But what's happening on the southern border, is aliens walk up to a border agent with a familiar story. Women typically plead they're victims of an abusive boyfriend or husband, and men claim they're escaping gang violence. They're detained briefly, but many are then released into the United States and given a date for an asylum hearing.

  Being granted asylum means hitting the jackpot. Asylees get the Refugee Cash Assistance program, including medical care, a housing allowance and hundreds of dollars a month in cash. All inclusive, as the Sandals getaway ads say. In contrast, immig...

 Half who use asylum as their excuse for crossing the border never even file a claim or show up at a hearing. They're also winners. After all, they made it inside the U.S., unlike the East Asian waiting 12 years to enter as a legal worker.

 Last weekend, open borders advocates held 700 marches across the country, protesting the Trump administration's policies.

 One target was Attorney General Jeff Sessions' recent clarification that domestic abuse is not sufficient grounds for seeking asylum. A few immigration judges have granted asylum on those grounds, but it's not how asylum is defined.

 House Democratic Leader nancy pukelosi, D-Calif., accused Sessions of "staggering cruelty."

But Sessions is right. The asylum law "is not a general hardship statute," he says. If every hardship qualifies for asylum, it will mean everyone can come in.

 That's the marchers' objective. And increasingly the goal of the progressive flank of the Democratic Party. Their rhetoric suggests any limit on immigration is a crime against humanity. New Yorkers like Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who toppled Congressman Joe Crowley last week, and Cynthia Nixon, running to unseat Gov. Andrew Cuomo, are calling for the abolition of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency.

 A similar battle is raging inside the European Union, which is overwhelmed by mostly bogus asylum claims from North African migrants. More than 70 percent of their claims are rejected, according to special envoy of the U.N. High Commission on Refugees, Vincent Cochetel. But the migrants who are turned down for asylum stay anyway, eluding deportation. They're straining public schools and government benefits and provoking a backlash against German Chancellor Angela Merkel's government.

 Last weekend, EU leaders tentatively devised a plan to screen asylum seekers in disembarkation centers along the North African coast, before they make their way across the Mediterranean to Europe.

 President Trump is proposing something similar to vet asylum applicants on the Mexican side of our southern border, before they enter the U.S.

 In America and Europe, demagogues tell us to have a heart and let everybody in. But the public understands that immigration affects public schools, wages, taxes, even cultural identity. That's why we have immigration laws.

 The aspiring Americans who obey those laws and wait their turn deserve our respect.

Allowing other aliens to jump in front of them using flimsy asylum claims is a slap in the face!
