DHS Readies Welcome for 800,000 ‘Family Migrants'
[Breitbart] President Joe Biden’s border agencies are preparing reception centers to help a huge inflow of perhaps 800,000 family migrants this year, along with a record inflow of unaccompanied children and a growing wave of single men, according to media reports.

The Washington Post reported March 28 that officials at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) expect:

... roughly 500,000 to 800,000 migrants to arrive as part of a family group during the 2021 fiscal year that ends in September, a quantity that would equal or exceed the record numbers who entered in 2019, according to government data reviewed by The Washington Post. Officials are now racing to find facilities to house these families ahead of their release, along with additional staff to process an increase in humanitarian and asylum claims.

#4  WTF is happening to our country?

Socialists and (pro-China) Globalist oligarchs have taken control of the elections and governmental processes. A man-make biological pandemic has been introduced to produce global crisis, destroy small business, and bring about long-needed population control and emergency vectoring mechanisms. Local and international travel will soon return to a newly established normal. Some governmental facilities and border transit locations will remain OFF-LIMITS. Regional photography restrictions may also be in effect. Other limitations may also apply.

#5  WTF is happening to our country?

“The America of my time line is a laboratory example of what can happen to democracies, what has eventually happened to all perfect democracies throughout all histories. A perfect democracy, a ‘warm body’ democracy in which every adult may vote and all votes count equally, has no internal feedback for self-correction. It depends solely on the wisdom and self-restraint of citizens… which is opposed by the folly and lack of self-restraint of other citizens. What is supposed to happen in a democracy is that each sovereign citizen will always vote in the public interest for the safety and welfare of all. But what does happen is that he votes his own self-interest as he sees it… which for the majority translates as ‘Bread and Circuses.’

‘Bread and Circuses’ is the cancer of democracy, the fatal disease for which there is no cure. Democracy often works beautifully at first. But once a state extends the franchise to every warm body, be he producer or parasite, that day marks the beginning of the end of the state. For when the plebs discover that they can vote themselves bread and circuses without limit and that the productive members of the body politic cannot stop them, they will do so, until the state bleeds to death, or in its weakened condition the state succumbs to an invader—the barbarians enter Rome.”

500k to 800K realistically expected.
Average cost per day to house an Illegal in detention

FOR ILLEGAL ADULTS
The average bed rate for and ICE Detention facility is $150 per day, according to adjusted ICE figures. Most are detained 3 to 4 months before being dump on US Cities,or returned back to try again. Some as long as 3 to 4 years as Globalist groups Lawyer get involved.

FOR ILLEGAL CHILDREN
The average bed rate for and ICE Detention facility is $750+ per day, according to adjusted ICE figures. Most are detained 4 to 6 weeks before being dump on the USA, or returned back to try again. Some are in protective custody for years.

"Claim: It costs at least $750 per individual per day to house immigrant children in detention camps. Rating: True by truthorfiction.com."

In 2018 the daily average of 42,188 immigrants (40,075 adult and 2,113 in families) were held by ICE.


=================
I'll save you the math...
For just the Adults based on average numbers thats $2,194,106,250.00 per year. Remember kids cost 5x's the amount of an Adult per day.

But think of that $$$$$ being used to take care of US Citizens instead a person that have Zero respect for US LAW to begin with.

#7  ^ just the beginning. It was calculated in the early aughts that each Illegal costs the state and the nation about $2,000 per year in combined expenses related to healthcare, children's education, public safety / law enforcement etc.

Today's figure, given inflation of public spending esp educational costs and the vast expansion of public healthcare systems, each Illegal probably costs closer to $8,000-9,000 per year.

We now have over 20 million illegals. This current asterisk regime is determined to bring in many milllions more - they've admitted to 800,000 already, which means probably closer to 2x that number each year will actually slip across the border and suck up their $8k-$9k per year.

So by the end of the first term of Harris the Ho, we'll likely have close to 30 million illegals costing us around a quarter of a trillion dollars per year.

We are fooked

#13  We are fooked

Because you allowed bullies to run over you. The citizen did not elect the current government. A well orchestrated mob stole the election by canceling your vote by injecting fake numbers (non-citizen) into the total.

The mob will now fortify and protect their power over you by bringing in actual non-citizen aka illegal masses of peoples to counter your power. "Illegal" means there are already laws that say this is criminal.

The bottom line. Remove the current corrupt people from the President down to the lowest member of the party behind this.

The hard core members of the mob are smaller in number than you think. Most other Dims are lazy. The mob bosses know this and are injecting fraudulent numbers into election results and overwhelming the current population with illegal foreign nationals.

We are fooked Unless we get off our collective butts.

“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.”

He conquered it and set fire to the places in its vicinity which were inhabited by infidels, and demolishing the idol-temples, he established Islam in them, He marched and captured other cities and killed the polluted wretches, destroying the idolatrous and gratifying the Musulmans. After wounding and killing beyond all measure, his hands and those of his friends became cold in counting the value of the plundered property.
After that it was mostly notable for the production of dirt, rocks, and holy men...

[Garowe] The Somali National Army (SNA) special forces killed more than 10 al-Shabaab
...... the personification of Somali state failure...
gunnies including three commanders in the latest onslaught on the fighters of the terrorist group.

The SNA-owned radio station reported on Saturday evening that the successful operation by the Special Forces (Dahab) was aimed at flushing out turbans and disrupting their plans to terrorize the residents in the Lower Shabelle region.

The military radio said the sting operation was carried out in Bulo Haji village in the Janale area of the Lower Shabelle region in the southern part of the Horn of the African nation.

"SNA special forces (Danab) carried out an operation in Bulo Haji village in Janale area of Lower Shabelle region, killing more than 10 al-Shabaab members including three of al-Shabaab leaders," it said.

The latest operations come as government forces have intensified operations against al-Shabaab in the central and southern regions, but the gunnies are still in control of the rural areas of those regions, conducting ambushes and planting landmines.

Africa Subsaharan
Islamic State claims deadly attack on northern Mozambique gas town
[AlAhram] IS said its fighters had taken control of the town after days of festivities with security forces, and said it had killed at least 55 people including soldiers, destroyed buildings and seized vehicles

Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
on Monday formally claimed an attack on the northern Mozambique gas town of Palma, in which dozens of people, including foreign workers, were killed.
This particular branch has many names: Islamic State West Africa Province-Mozambique (ISCAP), Ahlu Sunnah Wa-Jama (ASWJ - Adepts of the Prophetic Tradition), shorter Ansar al-Sunna (Supporters of the Tradition), and informally as Al Shabaab-Mozambique. Appearing in Mozambique in 2015 with Tanzanian leadership, they hired members of Somali Al Shabaab to teach them jihading skillz, then split into various cells. They fund themselves through heroin, contraband, the ivory trade, and the usual raiding...
The group made the claim on its Amaq news agency, saying its fighters had taken control of the town after days of festivities with security forces, and said it had killed at least 55 people including soldiers, destroyed buildings and seized vehicles.

The government confirmed on Sunday that dozens of people had been killed in the attack on Palma, adjacent to gas developments worth $60 billion, which began on Wednesday.

They included at least one South African citizen. Britannia's Times newspaper reported that a Brit had died.

The SITE Intelligence Group said Islamic State had described the foreign nationals as contractors and also provided a photograph taken in Palma.

Palma is located in the province of Cabo Delgado, home since 2017 to a simmering Islamist insurgency linked to Islamic State.
All Africa adds:
The Mozambican defence and security forces launched an offensive on Sunday against Islamic State terrorists in the northern town of Palma, reports Sunday's issue of the independent newssheet "Carta de Mocambique".

The terrorists, known locally as "Al Shabaab", launched a three pronged attack on Wednesday afternoon against Palma, and sporadic clashes continued for the next three days.

According to "Carta de Mocambique", the Mozambican offensive on Sunday involved ground and naval units, with air support. It was successful in driving the terrorists out of the town.

One of the paper's sources said "The insurgents are running away. They've run out of ammunition and food, and they're fleeing towards the Rovuma river (the border with Tanzania)".

But the paper claimed that terrorist reinforcements are arriving, and clashes have resumed in the vicinity of Palma.

One particularly alarming report came from the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) , which said "at least 12 South African citizens" are believed to be part of the group that attacked Palma.

The radio claimed that many South African security experts are calling for SADC (Southern African Development Community) to intervene and counter the possibility of any terror attacks on South Africa.

The Senior Training Coordinator at the South African Institute of Security Studies (ISS), Willem Els, said the islamist raids in Mozambique pose a huge threat to South Africa, both politically and economically.

A South African police spokesperson, he said, had admitted there were at least 12 South Africans fighting with the Islamic State terrorists in Mozambique. "That gives you an indication that they are very active in their recruitment here in South Africa", he told SABC. "Unfortunately, it will have a spin-off in South Africa; not only on the political front, but also on the economic front as you can see lots of South Africans are working there (in Cabo Delgado)."

Captagon is known as the drug of jihad after being found in terrorist hideouts, including one used by the jihadis who killed 90 people at the Bataclan theater in Gay Paree in 2015. ISIS fighters lived on the stuff — and its manufacture was an income stream for them as well as other Syrian jihadi groups.

...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
’s claims, Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both.

does not interfere in Yemen’s internal affairs and that missiles fired by Yemeni forces at Saudi targets operate on fuel produced inside the war-torn country.

Mohammed Abdul-Salam made the remarks in a Thursday interview with al-Mayadeen television network when asked about frequent allegations by the Riyadh regime that Iran’s interference is a reason for the prolongation of the war in Yemen.

"Iran does not interfere in Yemen’s affairs in any way, but it is them (the so-called Saudi-led coalition) that connect solution [of the Yemeni crisis] to Iran’s interference and let the West interfere in their decisions," the Yemeni official said.

He added that reports prepared by Americans themselves show that Yemeni missiles’ fuel is produced in the country.

Saudi Arabia and its regional allies, particularly the United Arab Emirates (UAE), launched a war against Yemen in March 2015 to restore the government of former President Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi, who resigned in 2014 and then fled to Riyadh.

According to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), the war has killed almost a quarter of a million Yemenis, caused outbreaks of disease, turned Yemen into the world’s worst humanitarian crisis and brought the poor Arab country to the verge of famine.

Home Front: WoT
Cole Bridges, U.S. Army private accused of supporting IS, has loose ties to Stow
[Akron Beacon Journal] Cole Bridges
... more formally Cole James Bridges and occasionally Cole Gonzales, Private 1st class in the 3rd Infantry Division...
said his family worried when they saw him posting Islamic State group propaganda on one of his social media sites, court records show.

"[N]obody knew I had contacts besides my family,
...and all his social media friends, and the social media site staff, and eventually his imaginary girlfriend at the FBI...
but it was never confirmed," Bridges told an FBI employee posing online as a female IS sympathizer. "They were suspicious."

It’s not clear when the 20-year-old U.S. Army private — who lived with part of his family in Stow
...Ohio, not Vermont...
for a couple of months after he graduated from high school in another state —may have been radicalized.

But last fall, federal investigators say Bridges discussed targets for potential terror attacks in the United States, included the Sept. 11 memorial in New York City, and shared instructions for killing American troops in the Middle East.

India-Pakistan
Cop, municipal councillor killed in terror attack at Sopore, Jammu and Kashmir, Lashkar e-Taiba dunnit?
[OneIndia] A councillor and a policeman were killed in Jammu and Kashmir
...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there....
's Sopore on Monday afternoon.

The incident took place when Lions of Islam attacked a building complex, where a meeting of councillors was underway. One person injured in the attack has been shifted to hospital.

"Terrorists fired at Municipal Office Sopore. In this terror incident, police personnel Shafqat Ahmad & councillor Riyaz Ahmad got martyred & councillor Shams-ud-din Peer got injured.

Local Lashkar-e-Tayiba and foreign terrorist behind Sopore terror attack

[OneIndia] The Lashkar-e-Tayiba may be behind the terror attack at Sopore, Jammu and Kashmir that took place on Monday. The probe indicates that local Lashkar-e-Tayiba operative, Mudasir Pandit along with a foreign terrorist
...foreign like Pakistani, or something more exotic?
may be involved in the attack in which a councillor and a policeman were killed.

"Preliminary investigation revealed that terrorists had fired indiscriminately upon the Municipal Councillors near Lone Building opposite SDH Sopore resulting in injuries to two Municipal Councillors namely Reyaz Ahmad Pir and Shams-ud-din Pir and a police personnel namely Shafqat Nazir.

Police shoot dead mentally ill Arab man, say he charged at cops with knife
Why shoot him if he's dead?
[IsraelTimes] Police on Monday shot and killed a 33-year-old Arab man with special needs who they said tried to attack an officer with a knife in central Haifa.

According to the police, Munir Anabtawi was running around with the weapon when his mother called the cops to the scene for help.

"Some officers arrived at the scene, saw him next to his house on the ground floor. He drew a knife and ran after an officer with it, injuring him lightly on his face," a Haifa Police spokesperson said.

An officer then shot Anabtawi in the back, critically wounding him. He was taken to Rambam Hospital in the city, where he died of his injuries.

Anabtawi’s sister Shirin told Channel 13, "I went to my parents’ house, I tried to watch over him, but he went down the street. Fearing for people’s lives
...which is why the police had to shoot him...
and knowing that this is a person with a mental disability, my mother called the police, who came and shot Munir in the back and killed him."

The family accused police of responsibility for the death, with his mother arguing that officers "lost control."

"He didn’t have a knife in his hand, he was running away from the cops," said Shirin, according to the Kan public broadcaster. "Mom asked for him to be taken to get treatment."

In security camera footage, Anabtawi can be seen brandishing what looks like a knife and chasing the police officer. The two scuffle as they run down the street, before the officer pulls out his gun and appears to shoot Anabtawi.

According to the Abraham Initiatives nonprofit, 28 Arabs have been killed violent mostly peacefully inside Israel since the beginning of 2021. Six were killed by police, while 22 were killed as a result of criminal activity.

Terrorist killed as Iran's IRGC thwarts attack in Khuzestan
[PRESSTV] Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) says a terrorist element has been killed when its forces thwarted an attack by two members of a terrorist group against military and cop shoppes in the southwestern Khuzestan Province.

In a statement released on Sunday evening, the IRGC said that two members of a terror outfit linked to the so-called Arab Struggle Movement for the Liberation of Ahvaz (ASMLA)
...Sunni Arabs who’re tired of being ruled by Shiite Persians, so they’ve been getting feisty...
began firing at military and cop shoppes in Shush city on Friday morning, leading to festivities with its forces.

According to the statement, the bully boyz tried to enter the posts, but their attack was neutralized and both were maimed and taken to hospital, one of whom died on the way.

The statement said their Kalashnikov assault rifles and ammunition were also confiscated.

In a statement on Sunday to honor Iran’s security forces, Intelligence Minister Mahmoud Alavi lauded the forces’ efforts to provide security and stability in the country.

Alavi said the Iranian security forces foil all ploys and plots hatched by the hegemonic states, led by the US and the Israeli regime and their regional servants, against the Iranian people and government one by one.
