    'I Love You Joe Biden': African Illegal Alien Praises President at Same Location Where Another Wanted For Terrorism Was Released

    An illegal immigrant from Africa praised the President as he crossed an “overwhelmed” section of the border saying, “I love you, Joe Biden!”

    It is a stark reminder that while the administration feigns that the border is operationally secure, illegal aliens assume they can cross into the United States at their whim.

    And now, one at least is expressing gratitude to the President of the United States for the opportunity to breach the border of a sovereign nation.

    “I love you, Joe Biden, thank you for everything, Joe Biden!” the man says in a video obtained by Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin earlier this month.

    “I’m a good person, I want to be good person here in the United States,” he added.

    Illegal Immigrant Who Loves Joe Biden Just Wants to Make Money

    The African illegal immigrant expressing love for Joe Biden isn’t an asylum seeker simply trying to escape his war-torn or impoverished country.

    In comments that blow up that Democrat narrative, the man alongside him explains they just want a job.

    “I came here because I want [a] quality life, America is a land of opportunity,” he said.

    According to Fox News, both men were seeking to go to New York City, one of the most unaffordable places to live on the planet and also a place where the mayor has actively argued illegal aliens are “destroying” it.

    But perhaps it’s more affordable when you’ll be off the books, not having to pay exorbitant New York taxes, and will be housed for free.

    The man in orange later told reporter Ali Bradley that he “didn’t care” if American taxpayers had to pay for him once he arrived in New York.

    The Fox News report indicates that illegal immigrants coming in through this “overwhelmed part of the southern border in Arizona” have been identified as being not only from Africa, but the Middle East and Asia as well.

    Same Location Saw African Illegal Immigrant With Terror Ties Released

    The location in Arizona where these two illegal aliens were interviewed is Lukeville, Arizona.

    Readers of The Political Insider might note that Lukeville is the site where an African illegal immigrant wanted in Senegal for alleged “terroristic activities” was unwittingly released by Border Patrol officials in October.

    That man was “released on his own recognizance” before being arrested, where? You guessed it. In New York City two weeks later.

    Earlier this week, more than 12,000 illegal immigrants were encountered at the southern border in a single day — the highest daily total ever recorded.

    The staggering numbers come amid a flood of “single, adult men” from African, Middle Eastern, and Asian countries, and a “resurgence of smuggling” from Mexico.

    And all the while they taunt Americans and law officials.

    “I love you, Joe Biden” was preceded by this human smuggler who, after guiding dozens of illegal aliens to a hole in the border wall, simply shrugged at and saluted border patrol agents and reporters.

    We’ve basically come full circle here.

    Just two months into his presidency, illegal aliens were reportedly showing up at the border wearing t-shirts in support of President Biden and holding signs that read: “Biden, please let us in!”

    He did. And now they ‘love’ him for it.

  • Sen. J.D. Vance Embarrasses Reporter – Cover The Biden Border Invasion, Not Trump's Reaction To It

    Sen. J.D. Vance Embarrasses Reporter – Cover The Biden Border Invasion, Not Trump's Reaction To It

    Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH) went on the offensive as an Associated Press reporter pressed him repeatedly on comments made by Donald Trump that illegal immigration is “poisoning the blood” of the nation.

    “What do you have to say to the former President’s comments over the weekend about immigrants and saying that they’re ‘poisoning the blood of America?’” a reporter asks in audio obtained by the Daily Caller.

    Vance quickly noted that the journalist had opted not to use the accurate term – “illegal” immigration.

    “First of all, he didn’t say immigrants were poisoning the blood of this country,” he shot back. “He said illegal immigrants were poisoning the blood of the country, which is objectively and obviously true to anybody who looks at the statistics about fentanyl overdoses.”

    Vance added, “And I think just one observation about the press as an organization: You guys seem far more upset about the guy who criticized the problem than you did about Joe Biden who’s causing the problem.”

    Thinking she had stumbled upon a solid point, the Associated Press reporter continued to note that Trump’s “poisoning the blood” remarks were “language that we heard … during World War II.”

    “You just framed your question implicitly assuming that Donald Trump is talking about Adolf Hitler. It’s absurd. It is absurd,” Vance quickly replied.

    “Why do you think that Donald Trump’s language is targeted at the blood of the immigrants and not at the blood of the American citizens who are being poisoned by the fentanyl problem?” he asked.

    When the reporter questioned his belief that the former President was actually talking about the drug crisis at the border, Vance steered her more toward reality.

    “If you watch the speech in context and you look at what’s going on, it is obvious that he was talking about the very clear fact that the blood of Americans is being poisoned by a drug epidemic,” he insisted. “To take that comment and then to immediately assume that he’s talking about immigrants as Adolf Hitler talked about Jews is preposterous!”

    “You guys need to wake up and actually do some journalism,” he continued.

    Trying To Take The Focus Off Biden

    Supporters of Donald Trump have seen an uptick in the media’s standby of accusing the former President of using “Nazi rhetoric” in recent weeks. The poll numbers must be dictating the effort.

    We saw it when Trump recently used the word “vermin” to describe his political opponents.

    “What you’re doing is not speaking truth to power,” Vance said to the reporter, though it could be applied to the media as a whole.

    “You’re trying to police the guy who’s criticizing the problem so that Americans don’t pay attention to the guy who caused the problem,” he claimed.

    What do you think about this? Let us know in the comments section.

  • GOP’s new committee leaders prepare blitz of investigations

    GOP’s new committee leaders prepare blitz of investigations

    [ad_1]

    WASHINGTON (AP) — House Republicans are promising aggressive oversight of the Biden administration once they assume the majority next year, with a particular focus on the business dealings of presidential son Hunter Biden, illegal immigration at the U.S.-Mexico border and the originations of COVID-19.

    Republicans won’t have enough votes to advance key legislative priorities if there is no Democratic buy-in, but their oversight of government agencies could put Democrats on the defensive and dampen support for the Biden administration going into the 2024 presidential elections.

    Some of the lawmakers expected to lead those investigations once House Republicans select their new committee chairs:

    JUDICIARY’S BIG ROLE

    Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, is expected to serve as the next chairman of the House Judiciary Committee. Jordan helped form and then lead the ultra-conservative House Freedom Caucus and voted on Jan. 6, 2021, to object to counting Pennsylvania’s electoral vote. President Donald Trump thought so highly of Jordan that he presented the congressman with the nation’s highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

    The Judiciary Committee handles oversight of the Departments of Justice and Homeland Security and issues such as crime, immigration and protection of civil liberties. It’s typically one of the most partisan committees on Capitol Hill, yet Jordan’s combative style stands out even there. The committee would be the place where any effort would begin to impeach a member of the Biden administration, as some Republicans have been proposing for Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.

    Jordan’s inquiries to the administration in recent months make clear the committee will investigate the FBI’s execution of a search warrant at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence. He has also advocated for a wide-ranging look at the Biden administration’s immigration policies and the origins of COVID-19.

    “All those things need to be investigated just so you have the truth,” Jordan told conservative activists last summer at a conference. “Plus that will frame up the 2024 race when I hope and I think President Trump is going to run again and we need to make sure that he wins.”

    OVERSIGHT’S LONG LIST

    Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., is expected to serve as the next chairman of the House Oversight and Reform Committee and has made clear that investigating President Joe Biden’s son Hunter will be one of his top priorities. The Republicans say their investigation of Hunter Biden’s business dealings is to “determine whether these activities compromise U.S. national security and President Biden’s ability to lead with impartiality.”

    Comer has also been laying the groundwork for investigating the situation on the U.S-Mexico border. He sent a letter to Mayorkas seeking an array of documents and communications pertaining to the administration’s border policy. “We cannot endure another year of the Biden Administration’s failed border policies,” the letter said.

    But that’s just a slice the committee’s focus.

    “We’re going to investigate between 40 and 50 different things,” Comer said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet The Press.” “We have the capacity. We’ll have 25 members on the committee, and we’re going to have a staff close to 70. So we have the ability to investigate a lot of things.”

    The federal government’s spending in response to COVID-19 will also be scrutinized.

    “We believe that there have been hundreds of billions, if not trillions of dollars wasted over the past three years, so that spans two administrations, in the name of COVID.

    “We want to have hearings on that. We want to try to determine what happened with the fraudulent unemployment insurance funds, the fraudulent PPP loan funds, some of this money that’s being spent for state and local governments in the COVID stimulus money,” Comer said.

    AFGHANISTAN IN FOCUS

    Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Texas, is expected to serve as the next chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, which will be investigating the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. McCaul reiterated a request in mid-October for various documents and directed the State Department to preserve all records related to the chaotic withdrawal, which included the loss of 13 U.S. service members killed during a suicide bombing attack.

    “The way it was done was such a disaster and such a disgrace to our veterans that served in Afghanistan. They deserve answers to the many questions we have,” McCaul said on ABC’s “This Week.” He added: “Why wasn’t there a plan to evacuate? How did it go so wrong?”

    SPOTLIGHT ON ENERGY AND TAXES

    Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Wash., is expected to serve as the next chair of the Energy and Commerce Committee, which has the broadest jurisdiction of any authorizing committee in Congress, from health care to environmental protection to national energy policy. Republicans on the committee have already spent months investigating the origins of COVID-19 and are expected to continue that work in the next Congress.

    Reps. Jason Smith, R-Mo., Adrian Smith, R-Neb., and Vern Buchanan, R-Fla., have expressed interest in serving as the next chairman of the tax-writing House Ways & Means Committee, which has already been seeking documents related to the spending in the nearly $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief package that Democrats passed early last year. The committee also has oversight over the IRS, a frequent target of GOP scrutiny and scorn.

    OTHER KEY SPOTS

    Likely leaders of other prominent committees:

    — Agriculture Committee: Glenn Thompson, R-Pa.

    — Appropriations Committee: Kay Granger, R-Texas.

    — Armed Services Committee: Mike Rogers, R-Ala.

    — Budget Committee: Lloyd Smucker, R-Pa., Buddy Carter, R-Ga., and Jodey Arrington, R-Texas, have all expressed interest in the chairmanship.

    — Financial Services Committee: Patrick McHenry, R-N.C.

    — Homeland Security Committee: Dan Crenshaw, R-Texas, Mark Green, R-Tenn., and Clay Higgins, R-La., have all expressed interest in the chairmanship.

    — Intelligence Committee: Michael Turner, R-Ohio

    — Natural Resources Committee: Bruce Westerman, R-Ark.

    — Science, Space and Technology Committee: Frank Lucas, R-Okla.

    — Transportation and Infrastructure Committee: Sam Graves, R-Mo.

    — Veterans’ Affairs Committee: Mike Bost, R-Ill.

  • Arizona weighing in-state tuition rate for some non-citizens

    Arizona weighing in-state tuition rate for some non-citizens

    [ad_1]

    PHOENIX — Arizona voters this November will decide whether to allow students regardless of their immigration status to obtain financial aid and cheaper in-state tuition at state universities and community colleges.

    At least 18 states, including California and Virginia, as well as the District of Columbia now offer in-state tuition to all students who otherwise qualify regardless of status, according to a website that tracks higher education and immigration data.

    But there has been little past voter support in Arizona for granting in-state tuition, which is about a third of the rate for out-of-state undergraduate students, to those who arrived in the United States without approval, even if they attended high school in the state for years. Voters in 2006 overwhelmingly approved a proposition that prevented students who entered the U.S. without authorization from getting in-state tuition and other financial benefits.

    The current proposal known as Proposition 308, which was referred to this year’s Nov. 8 ballot by Arizona’s Legislature, would repeal some parts of the earlier initiative and allow all students including non-citizens to receive in-tuition rates as long as they graduated from and attended public or private high school or the home school equivalent for two years in Arizona.

    Tens of thousands of immigrant students could potentially benefit from the proposition in a state where an estimated 275,000 migrants are living without authorization.

    Arizona Republican State Sen. Paul Boyer introduced the measure for the ballot and it was passed by both houses. But a majority of Republicans opposed it.

    “They’re here illegally,” Republican state Sen. Michelle Ugenti-Rita said last month during a televised debate on the initiative. “And while I very much sympathize with so-called Dreamers or individuals who no fault of their own have been brought to this country, the reality is their immigration status does not qualify them for in-state tuition.”

    Reyna Montoya, CEO of Aliento, a community organization led by immigrant youth, argued for the initiative, saying that students and their parents had been paying taxes for years.

    “It’s about fairness and giving a pathway for education,” she said during the debate.

    The Arizona Board of Regents this spring approved base in-state undergraduate tuition of $10,978 for the 2022-2023 school year and a $29,952 base tuition rate for out-of-state undergraduate students.

    Luis Acosta, who was born in Mexico, has argued for Proposition 308, saying he was forced to seek a university education in Iowa because he could not afford the higher costs in Arizona, where he had lived his entire life after arriving at age 2. He graduated in Iowa with a bachelor’s degree in international studies and English.

    Diego Diaz, a junior at Arizona State University, was brought to the U.S. by his family when he was 4. He said higher out-of-state tuition costs created an economic burden.

    “I’m currently having to take a break from school to get finances under check,” Diaz said at a September news conference promoting the proposition.

    Some Arizona business owners say it makes sense to make sure the smartest young people remain and seek jobs in the state, no matter what their immigration status.

    “We need more talented workers with degrees and we have now more than ever,” John Graham, chairman and CEO of Sunbelt Holdings, said at the news conference. “That is why I’m supporting this initiative.”
