Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz is warning that in the next few days, CBP will have encountered 1 million migrants from when Fiscal Year 2022 started in October
So far in FY2022, 838,685 migrants were encounters by CBP – and when figures are released for March that number will climb to at least 1 million
It comes as the administration plans to give COVID-19 vaccines to migrants taken into custody in the U.S. Brilliant idea. Why should those legally here be the only ones to experience side effects? And this will mean pre-purchased vaccines will be used up instead of going to waste
Estimates show that around 170,000 migrants are waiting on the Mexican side of the southern border to cross into the U.S. once Title 42 ends
The provision allowed for immediate expulsion without hearing asylum claims in the midst of the pandemic
In preparation for this surge, DHS is prepared to initially provide up to 2,700 vaccines per day to migrants at their facilities
They plan to increase that to 6,000 daily by the end of May
BUT, we need also seasonal AG workers, like it was PRE-Jimmy Carter days.
Anyone walking around in Wally World can see we already having spot food shortages. We will desperately need persons willing to work long hard hours as farmhands to grow, harvest, and get it to market.
SO, what if we stopped, at any government level, paying US Citizens, Visa holders, and illegals to sit on their butts and have babies. But, instead instituted a Community Work for Benefits requirement.
I am willing to bet we'd see a lot fewer people living off of the Taxpayer's dole and filling those Wally World / Mickey D's and etc... vacant jobs.
[Rudaw] US President Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. The guy who lost Afghanistan, aka Biden's Bungle... on Monday requested over five hundred million dollars from the 2023 budget for the fight against the 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.... (ISIS) in Iraq and Syria, with the funds to be allocated to training and equipping local forces allied to America in both countries.
Out of the $773 billion budget, Biden proposed $541 million for forces in Iraq and Syria, according to details of the budget request published by the US Department of Defense.
Iraqi forces are to receive $358 million, with $183 million to be given to the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in northeast Syria (Rojava).
The Kurdistan Region’s Peshmerga forces are considered part of the Iraqi forces and have received weapons, salaries, training, and equipment from the US.
The US coalition’s combat mission in Iraq ended in December but continues in Syria. The force continues its advisory mission with the Iraqi and Peshmerga forces.
The new budget request for 2023 is an increase of around $58 billion from 2022.
The amount dedicated to the fight against ISIS has risen by $19 million compared to the year before as ISIS still remains a threat in the region.
"These investments are as vital as ever, as we face a myriad of challenges," Deputy Secretary of Defense Kathleen H. Hick said regarding the $773 billion budget request at a presser.
ISIS controlled swathes of Iraq and Syria in 2014 but it was territorially defeated in 2017 and 2019 respectively. However, man does not live by words alone, despite the fact that sometimes he has to eat them... the hard boyz continue to carry out bombings, hit-and-run attacks, and abductions on both sides of the border, particularly in areas disputed by Erbil and Baghdad.

Trickle down economics. Sudden surge in money requests. Could it be Ukraine money flow cut off. I expected such requests or we would hear choking sounds in DC. DNC, Clinton's foundation,Biden's, Kerry, Soros to name a few.

541 million for anti-ISIS mission in Iraq, Syria = 540 million to corrupt politicians and Democrat pet projects and a million towards marketing to make it look like the money went to Iraq and Syria.
[Dawn] The interior ministry on Monday confirmed that anti-Pakistain terror outfits are regrouping in Balochistan ...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it... via the Iranian province of Sistan and Baluchestan.
This was revealed in a written reply submitted to the National Assembly during the question hour in response to a query posed by PPP MNA Dr Shazia Sobia Aslam Soomro. She asked if it was true that "anti-Pakistain terror outfits are regrouping in Balochistan via Sistan, and if yes, details thereof along with action plan thereof, if any".
In its response, the interior ministry stated: "Yes, anti-Pakistain terror outfits are regrouping in Balochistan via Sistan."
The response, attributed to Interior Minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed, also mentioned the measures being taken by the government to mitigate this trend.
According to the response placed before the National Assembly on Monday, the National Intelligence Coordination Committee (NICC) has been institutionalised to integrate all federal and provincial intelligence grids for effective and timely countermeasures. Effective border management and fencing along the western border would also stem this tide, the response added.
"Persistent intelligence-based operations are being undertaken to neutralise terror organizations," the response stated, adding that operational capabilities of the counterterrorism apparatus were being enhanced.
The response also recalled recent government initiatives to engage disgruntle Baloch rustics for reconciliation, including special socio-economic development packages for mitigating murderous Moslem threats in Balochistan and KP, and addressing the most marginalised segment of society through the "Ehsaas Programme" along with engaging the youth in constructive activities.
Banned terrorist organizations — including Baloch separatists, the Tehrik-e-Taliban ...Arabic for students... Pakistain (TTP) and the self-styled Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi.

(IS) group — have recently intensified their activists in different areas of the province, carrying out terrorist attacks, kabooms and assassinations.
Since the beginning of the year, these groups have carried out at least seven major attacks, in which at least 22 people bit the dust, including security personnel.
Two major attacks were carried out at the camps of Frontier Corps ...a provincial paramilitary force. Total manpower is about 80,000. They are tasked to help local law enforcement in the maintenance of law and order, and to carry out border patrol and a..the Antwerp-based Salafist organization that had campaigned to introduce Sharia law to Belgium before single-handedly making Belgium the highest per capita supplier of jihadis to Syria in Europe.

The attackers were well equipped with the latest weapons and equipment.
Both sides suffered casualties during the attacks — nine security personnel, including an officer, bit the dust, whereas 20 attackers were killed by the security forces.
[Rudaw] The US has granted Iraq another 120-day sanctions waiver allowing the payment of electricity imports from neighboring Iran, the US Department of State confirmed to Rudaw on Tuesday, adding that it hopes this will provide Iraq enough time to draw up plans to become less reliant on Iranian imports.
The waiver enables Iraqi payments for Iranian electricity imports, bypassing existing US sanctions on Iranian exports. An official from the US State Department responded via email to questions asked by Rudaw’s Bijar Bashqali, saying that that the waiver ensures that energy demands in Iraq are met during the 120 days "while it takes steps to reduce its dependence on" imports from Iran.
The official also referred to the progress made regarding energy agreements during the four rounds of the Strategic Dialogue talks between the US and Iraq over the course of the past two years, with the last round taking place in July last year. The agreements reached are aimed at reducing Iraq’s dependence on Iranian imports and making the country self-sufficient.
The State Department added that it believes that 120 days are enough for the Iraqi government "to take meaningful action" to achieve self-sufficiency and in turn become less dependent on Iran.
This is not the first time the US has provided waivers to Iraq since sanctions were slammed on Iran. US President Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. We hold these truths to be self-evident. All men and women created ... by the — you know — you know, the thing... extended the waivers in March and August last year.
In January 2021, Washington granted a three-month extension after "long discussions," an official told AFP at the time. On March 31, the US again agreed to another four-month extension.
The recent sanctions waiver comes amid ongoing talks in the Austrian capital aimed at restoring the 2015 nuclear deal. Iran ...Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979... and world powers, including the US, have held talks for almost a year aimed at reviving the 2015 nuclear deal, with Iran insisting that the US must lift its crippling sanctions.
Washington does not allow Iraq to pay Iranian dues in US dollars, but western and Iraqi sources said that Iraqi officials had obtained a green light from the United States to release the money owed to Tehran through a Swiss bank account.
The Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) decided to demolish its headquarters in Baghdad.
Photos obtained by Shafaq News Agency showed excavators demolished the building of the KDP 5th branch in the Karrada area in central Baghdad.
Yesterday, the KDP closed its headquarters in Baghdad and suspended its work in protest against setting fire and destroying its properties.
The KDP's 5th branch in Baghdad said, "We affirm that the Kurdistan Democratic Party is a long party in Iraq with a long and honorable history of struggle alongside the Iraqi national parties, and it was and still plays a leading role in consolidating freedom, democracy and the political process in Iraq."
"KDP cannot accept these outlaw offending, insults, and chaotic behavior."
"Since the headquarters of our party was attacked for the second time without taking the necessary protection measures by the security services, we have decided to close it."
"We reiterate our condemnation and denunciation of any offending of religious references, and at the same time, we condemn and denounce the attack on our headquarters."
"We call Iraqi national political forces to condemn these acts that are far from morals, values, and humanitarian principles."
On Monday, The Kurdish Ministry of Interior announced arresting Nayef Kurdistani after sharing a tweet they considered "offensive" to the Iraqi Supreme Religious Authority.
Before the arrest, angry demonstrators destroyed and broke fire into the Kurdistan Democratic Party's headquarters in Baghdad.
[IsraelTimes] Ibrahim Ighbariah got 18 months for Islamic State ties after brother testified he wanted to join police; 2nd shooter reportedly moved from Fatah prison wing for being ’too radical’
One of the the two bandidosbully boyz who carried out a deadly shooting attack in Hadera on Sunday reportedly had his prison sentence over his ties to 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.... reduced by a judge during his trial several years ago, despite requests by the prosecution for a lengthier sentence. Two cousins, Ibrahim and Ayman Ighbariah, both Israeli citizens, killed two Border Police officers on Sunday and maimed multiple others before being rubbed out by undercover officers who happened to be eating nearby.

[IsraelTimes] The Israel Defense Forces are bolstering troops along the border with the Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... Strip, as Paleostinians mark Land Day tomorrow, and the holy Moslem month of Ramadan begins this weekend, Hebrew-language media reports.
Land Day marks the Israeli government’s expropriation of Arab-owned land in the Galilee on March 30, 1976, and the ensuing demonstrations in which six Arab Israelis were killed.
The reports say the Gaza Division will be bolstered with more infantry troops and special forces, in case of violent mostly peaceful protests along the fence.
Police have bolstered forces in areas where there is a threat of violence, following a deadly terrorist attack committed by two Israeli Arab button men affiliated with 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.

The Israel Defense Forces has also bolstered troops in the West Bank.
Meanwhile, ...back at the railroad tracks, Little Nell tried to kick her bound feet and scream post the snotty handkerchief Scarface Al had stuff into her mouth... a wave of arrests against those with Islamic State ties is expected to continue after 12 were detained overnight.
At the same time, Israel’s Defense Minister Benny Gantz and Public Security Minister Omer Barlev met with Jordan’s King Abdullah II to discuss ways to lower tensions with the Paleostinians during the holy Moslem month, seen as a time of greater possibility for violence.
[IsraelTimes] Israel and its regional allies are working to develop a joint defense pact to protect against the threat of Iranian drones, Israeli media reports, citing Israeli Air Force officials.
Air Force sources say that Israel may soon sign an alliance with Middle East partners, similar to that of NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Originally it was a mutual defense pact directed against an expansionist Soviet Union. In later years it evolved into a mechanism for picking the American pocket while criticizing the cut of the American pants... in Europe.
The opportunity for this arose following several normalization agreements between Israel and Arab countries, such as the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, which are geographically close to Iran.
The Israel Defense Forces view coordination between the countries as a "strategic asset" in defending against aerial threats that it did not previously have, officials say.
Last week, Israeli officials said they believed two drones, which were reportedly launched from Iran ...Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979... and intercepted by the US-led international coalition in Iraq last month, were aimed at Israel.
Israel has repeatedly warned that Iranian drones are a significant threat to the region — especially as Tehran arms proxies stationed along Israel’s borders.
The Israel Defense Forces have confirmed it intercepted at least four Iranian drones heading for Israel or the West Bank and Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage.

It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return.

"We have not heard from Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula.

When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... that its ambassador will return to Lebanon and everything said was only published in newspapers," the minister added.
"As for the Kuwaiti ambassador, he will return, but no date has been set until the moment," Bou Habib went on say.

All the kewl kids are normalizing with Israel, after all. In fact, many of them are meeting with Israel about Hezbollah paymaster Iran right now.
[An Nahar] The head of Hizbullah ...Party of God, a Leb militia inspired, founded, funded and directed by Iran. Hizbullah refers to itself as The Resistance and purports to defend Leb against Israel, with whom it has started and lost one disastrous war to date, though it did claim victory... ’s parliamentary bloc, MP Mohammed Raad, claimed Tuesday that political rivals want to win the parliamentary majority "in order to secure laws that would allow them to normalize relations with the Israeli enemy."
"All parties want to keep us away from the parliamentary action arena in order to implement their agendas," Raad added, at a political rally in the southern town of Yohmor.
As for the issue of offshore gas exploration, the MP said: "We have international proposals for gas exploration that are in our interest and for which we wouldn’t pay a cost, but the Americans are refusing, because they want to bring a company that would impose its conditions."
And accusing Washington of "blackmailing us with the Israeli enemy," Raad emphasized that "the Israelis cannot threaten us with anything."

[IsraelTimes] In the past year, in dozens of strikes attributed to Israel, the Israeli Air Force has fired 586 munitions at targets in Syria, according to Hebrew-language media reports.
Amid the Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s, the Syrian Arab Army fired 239 anti-aircraft missiles at Israeli jets and missiles, mostly without success, the reports say.
The new numbers were given by air force officials during a recent briefing with news hounds.
As a rule, Israel’s military does not comment on specific strikes in Syria, but has admitted to conducting hundreds of sorties against Iran-backed groups attempting to gain a foothold in the country.
