Honduran Invasion Caravan Is Compared to the 1980 Mariel Boatlift

Monday’s Wall Street Journal discussed the approaching horde of Central Americans as being similar to the 1980 deluge of Cubans who were admitted by President Jimmy Carter. It’s a decent argument, but it doesn’t go far enough. What happened to Miami, where most of the Cubans ended up, must rank as one of the worst […]

Hondurans Appear Enthusiastic about Invading the United States

Friday’s Los Angeles Times featured a front-page story about President Trump’s threat to send troops to prevent the entry of thousands of Central American foreigners headed north.

A memorable aspect of the article was the photo, showing Hondurans flying their flag, speeding along on top of a bus toward their goal of invading America with […]

Illegal Alien Families May Prefer Separation

As we have noticed, illegal aliens have been hauling along their kiddies mid-invasion, believing their presence makes lawbreaking more appealing somehow.

Perhaps that ploy works for the ACLU; the rest of us think the invaders are irresponsible parents, along with being job thieves.

Any American parent who transported their toddlers on top of a freight […]

Illegal Aliens Spend Small Fortunes to Steal from America

Sunday’s New York Times featured an illegal alien sob story, emphasizing the cost and danger of reaching the US.

Readers learn that the Times’ hero of the story, Salvadoran Christopher Cruz, apparently spent $12,500 to reach America’s welfare offices, though the exact sum is not clear. That’s a great deal of money for a […]

Illegal Aliens Camp on Border Bridges as They Wait for Asylum in America

Tuesday’s New York Times front page included a photo of an illegal alien kid plunked down on a Mexico/US border bridge while waiting for the familia to push an asylum claim.

The foreigners have turned the walkway into a filthy homeless camp, although the Times tried to describe the chaos more delicately:

Sleeping on […]

Vague Asylum Law Provides Foreign Moocher Gateway

The Los Angeles Times front-paged an article on Sunday where legal writer David Savage discussed the state of asylum law, which looks rather squishy to your humble blogger, and I assume to other non-lawyers as well.

One sees within those loosening asylum parameters the relentless hand of immigration lawyers pushing for ever more foreigners […]

Robot T-shirt Factory Is Planned for Arkansas

Here’s a snapshot of the automated, globalized future: a Chinese company has acquired a factory in Arkansas to produce t-shirts for the German company Adidas using robot sewing machines from Atlanta business SoftWear Automation.

Clothing manufacture is big business and is important to small, poor countries like Honduras where the income from sewing jobs helps […]

Obama Administration Knowingly Admitted MS-13 Gangsters to America

Anybody who was paying attention to Obama’s “unaccompanied minor” project to import thousands of future Democrats from Central America could see the major downside of who might be get in. Clearly the run on the open border invited gangsters to try to slip through as the Border Patrol was overwhelmed by the deluge.

It was […]

Unwanted Illegal Aliens Become More Appealing “Refugees” in Left’s Redefinition Project

Bill O’Reilly’s Monday show introduction made an important point, that the open-borders left is rebranding the unobstructed flood of Central Americans from illegals to “refugees” which is clearly what’s happening. Keep in mind that a true refugee is a person fleeing political persecution or war, not poverty.

Below, Border Patrol agents welcome illegal aliens into […]

Flood of Border-Crossing Illegal Alien Kids Continues Unabated

Thursday’s Washington Post included an above-the-fold photo and story about the continued influx of “unaccompanied” children across Obama’s open border.

If it weren’t for the increased concern about security due to the jihad attacks in the past few weeks (Paris and San Bernardino) there would certainly be a lot more attention paid to the […]

Obama’s Border Surge Invaders — They’re Back!

It’s spring and the weather is pleasant for travel from Central America to the American southwest compared with the brutal heat of summer. The illegal alien Centrals are attracted by the boatload of freebies they receive upon arrival in deluxe “detention” facilities before they are transferred to more permanent quarters where they get more free […]
