Border Arrests of Illegals Are Double That of Last Year

The new Border Patrol commissioner, Mark Morgan, appeared on Fox News’ morning show on Thursday to discuss what’s happening down on the edge of the third world. The upshot is that the aliens keep coming, with more than double the arrests compared with last year. Unfortunately, the arrests are quickly followed by releases, so the […]

Border Fence Is Starting to Take Shape near San Diego

Here’s an update report from the government’s border fence project, which finally seems to have gotten going. It seems well designed, with two fences and a space in between that allows border agents to nab foreigners.

Below, Fox New reporter William La Jeunesse showed the fencing that has been built on the border near San […]

South of the Border, Drug War Racks Up Record Murders in Tijuana

Sunday’s Los Angeles Times headlined the drug crime in Tijuana with a rather raw picture of a shooting victim, killed in the current conflict.

The photo caption below reads: A Red Cross paramedic examines the body of a man shot in an alleyway in Tijuana, where a record 2518 people were slain in 2018.

Mexico: Murder Rates at Record High

Is there a better argument for a border wall and increased security overall than the criminal nature of our southern neighbor? The open border has admitted millions of basic job thieves (driving down wages for America’s own working class) but has also allowed Mexican crime syndicates to enter and operate throughout the United States for […]

Americans Really Want the Wall Built

Some of the citizens of this country are committed enough to achieving genuine border security to pay for it themselves. Two examples follow.

The Daily Caller reported on Wednesday that a GoFundMe website had collected over a million dollars for the cause:

Over 15,000 People Have Raised over a $1 Million on GoFundMe for Trump’s […]

One in Seven US Residents Is Now Foreign Born

On Friday, Tucker Carlson commented on a new immigration numbers report that indicates borders are more open than ever before. He clearly thinks that President Trump has failed on the #1 most important promise of his campaign, namely to bring order to immigration. But the borders remain a sieve — no thanks to the useless […]

Border Patrol Leader Says America Needs a Wall

President Trump is currently threatening to shut the government over the lack of wall funding. That’s not a radical strategy: a border wall is central to ending immigration anarchy as both a signal of seriousness and a true physical block to slow or stop invaders as other assets are brought to bear. A robust system […]

Universal E-Verify Should Be Republicans’ Top Demand, Not a Border Wall

The border wall started out as part of a wholistic immigration enforcement plan, but it has evolved into a larger element than it deserves to be. After all, an estimated half of illegals arrive legally but then overstay their visas. But a wall is a physical thing and therefore easy to mold into a symbol, […]

Mexico Is Rich and Can Pay for the Wall — One Way or Another

President Trump got Mexico’s attention during his Tuesday speech in Nashville when he said our southern neighbor would pay for the border wall.

PRESIDENT TRUMP: In the end, Mexico’s gonna pay for the wall; I’m just telling you. I don’t want to cause any problem, but in the end Mexico’s paying for the wall. They […]

Mexico Murders Reach 20-Year High for May

With all the media chatter about threats to America from Nork nukes and such, it’s easy to forget the ongoing dangers posed by our thuggish neighbor to the south. Breitbart had a chilling headline this week about increased cartel violence: U.S. Border Agents Warned of ‘Open Warfare’ with ‘Grenades’ in Mexico at Texas Border. Mexican […]

Survey: Mexico Is Now the World’s Deadliest Conflict Zone after Syria

Americans don’t generally think of themselves as living next to a war zone, but perhaps we should, in light of some figures released recently: in 2016 Mexico was the second most deadly nation on earth, second only to Syria. In that year, Mexico experienced 23,000 deaths from the criminal cartels’ conflicts, which surpassed the body […]
