DHS: More Than A Half Million People Tried To Illegally Cross The Southwest Border In FY2018 Will Racke \| Immigration and Foreign Policy Reporter dailycaller.com More than a half million people tried to cross the southwest border without authorization in fiscal year 2018, an increase of about 100,000 over the previous year’s total that was spurred by a surge in family migration from Central America. A total of 521,090 people were either arrested or deemed inadmissible at U.S. ports of entry along the border, according to Customs and Border Protection figures released Tuesday. That compares to 415,517 in fiscal year 2017, a year that saw historically low levels of illegal immigration in the months after President Donald Trump assumed office. More than a half million people tried to cross the southwest border without authorization in fiscal year 2018. (Image source: CBP.gov) Since then, however, illegal immigration has risen to levels seen during the second Obama administration. The rebound is due in large part to a stunning spike in attempted crossings by so-called “family units,” nearly all of which are from three Central American countries — Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador. Border Patrol arrested 4,836 people traveling in family units along the southwest border in October 2017, the first month of the fiscal year. By September, the last month of the fiscal year, that number had shot to 16,658, the highest ever recorded in a single month. (RELATED: Illegal Immigration By Families Hits All-Time Record In September) The Trump administration has attributed the surge to loopholes in immigration law that prevent the government from holding adults and their children in detention together while their cases are heard in immigration court. Administration officials say the restrictions encourage parents to bring children across the border because they know they will be released for the duration of their immigration proceedings, which can take years. Honduran migrants taking part in a new caravan heading to the U.S., arrive to Chiquimula, Guatemala, on Oct. 22, 2018. ORLANDO ESTRADA/AFP/Getty Images Tuesday’s border arrest figures come as a massive caravan of at least 5,000 migrants, mostly from Honduras, is making its way northward through Mexico with the aim of reaching the U.S. border. It is the second such procession this year, after a similar group marched from Central America all the way to U.S. ports of entry in April. The Mexican government has offered to grant temporary humanitarian visas to caravan members in an effort to break up the mass of migrants into smaller groups. But the vast majority have refused to apply for asylum in Mexico, and Mexican authorities have largely allowed the migrants to continue their journey without proper documentation. Trump administration officials say the migrants’ refusal to apply for asylum in Mexico suggests the vast majority are economic migrants, meaning they don’t qualify for asylum protections under U.S. law.

The mean Arab IQ must be around 70. The Saudi elite that came up with this plan to kill Kashoggi prove it. They literally could have hired a contract killer for a few $ thousand that would have done a better job. Instead they made a huge production out of it, and shot themselves in the head...

Rosenstein Backs Out of Classified Questioning – Goodlatte and Gowdy Cancel Hearing… Posted on October 23, 2018 by sundance Oh how the Rosenstein worm turns. In late breaking developments tonight, on the eve of Rosenstein’s agreement to testify in a closed-door, heavily controlled, classified setting… Everything gets cancelled: “The Committees are unable to ask all questions of Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein within the time allotted for tomorrow’s transcribed interview, therefore, the interview will be postponed. Mr. Rosenstein has indicated his willingness to testify before the Judiciary and Oversight Committees in the coming weeks in either a transcribed interview or a public setting. We appreciate his willingness to appear and will announce further details once it has been rescheduled.” ( link) Suspicious cat’s suspicions of Rosenstein seemingly validated. Here’s what an objective review of events seems to show. There are voices sympathetic to a premise, a theory of sorts, that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein appointed Robert Mueller in an effort to remove the corrupt influence of Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe in 2017. According to the theory – Rosenstein’s modus operandi was to facilitate a genuine review of the Russian collusion/conspiracy questions through the appointment of Mueller. However, in order for that theory to be correct – once Rosenstein discovered the fraudulent basis for the origination of the Mueller probe; meaning once he realized there was an actual FBI and DOJ scheme to construct a soft-coup; he would necessarily have needed to stop defending the false premise which built the foundation for the inquiry. He didn’t. He advanced it. He defends it, even today. Despite mountains of evidence showcasing the politicized and weaponized use of the FBI and DOJ to attack the office of the President, evidence that came out after the Mueller probe was launched, Rosenstein took no action to highlight the fraud and fold-up the inquiry. Not only did Rosenstein take no action to confront the fraud; he has gone to extreme lengths to continue validating the Mueller probe a full year after clear evidence surfaced. Even as late as last Friday, Rosenstein filed a ridiculous indictment against an innocuous Russian person claiming she used Facebook and Twitter in a “conspiracy to defraud the United States.” An honest review of conduct outlines that all of Rosenstein’s actions are self-serving. He is attempting to protect his own interests, and if that means protecting a false Mueller investigation – then so be it. That is exactly what he has been doing. That behavior, highlighted by several instances – including his request to President Trump to continue hiding the information behind the declassification of documents requested by congress, highlights that DAG Rod Rosenstein is attempting damage control regardless of downstream consequences. Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein controlled the James Wolfe indictment ( and eventual plea). DAG Rosenstein controlled the Natalie Mayflower Sours-Edwards Treasury leak indictment. DAG Rosenstein wrote the recent Op-Ed defending the Mueller investigation. DAG Rosenstein, together with Mueller, framed the indictment against the Concord group. DAG Rosenstein controls the indictment against Ms. Elena Alekseevna Khusyaynova. These are all Rosenstein constructs. These are all Rosenstein behaviors. These are not the behaviors of a man who is trying to rid the DOJ of internal corruption. These are the behaviors of a man intent on protecting the swamp, and by extension his own participation in corrupt swamp activity. Yes, Suspicious Cat remains suspicious; and rightly so. President Trump and President Trump’s supporters have two slightly different sets of priorities when it comes to the DOJ and FBI. From President Trump’s perspective the thorn in his administration has been Special Counsel Robert Mueller. The declassification agreement between Rosenstein and Trump negates any concern about Mueller. Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein created the special counsel under fraudulent pretense. That origination material (Ohr 302’s, FISA pages, origination EC, and Page/Strzok messages) is now a risk to the Deputy AG. DAG Rosenstein does not want his involvement in the fraud to be exposed; hence his request to block/stall/delay the declassification directive. However, at any time President Trump can declassify all the documents and outline the fraudulent basis that originated the special counsel. This is essentially President Trump’s leverage. The Robert Mueller investigation is the priority for removal for President Trump in order to continue the MAGA agenda. For well over a year Mueller has been the cloud over the administration and has been the primary focus of most media antagonism therein. For the Office of the President, the Mueller probe is the immediate thorn. Ergo leverage over the DAG toward the removal of that thorn is a priority. Exposing the previous and current DOJ and FBI corruption is of less importance to President Trump. However, from the perspective of President Trump supporters, especially those who have done deep research into the former and ongoing abuse, the aggregate DOJ and FBI corruption is the priority; and exposing the soft-coup is the ultimate goal. See the difference? ( continue reading)
