Biden Dismantled Basic Immigration Law. Now, Americans Are Suffering.

 

Immigration is not just back in the news, it’s in the news every single day.

Almost every single day we see someone here illegally like Mohamed Soliman committing an act of terror when he tried to burn Jewish activists. Burn them. Burn Jews.

We saw Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, who was an MS-13 member and became a cause celebre when he was deported. He was a spousal abuser. He was a gang member. He was a human trafficker.

I don’t even want to get into the sad, tragic tale of all of these young, beautiful, vibrant women who have been killed by illegal aliens. I don’t want to get into the issue that here in Fresno County about a half of the traffic accidents, the people involved that were culpable have left the scene of the accident.

So, it’s a real problem.

And let’s put in some historical perspective. Former President Joe Biden’s legacy will be very—he has a legacy and it’s gonna be very hard to deal with. For the next 20 years, we’re gonna be dealing with the fact that he and former Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas deliberately, deliberately, intentionally destroyed immigration law as we know it. They opened the border and they let in 12 million people.

Keep in mind some data. The administration—the Trump administration is doing a heroic job to close the border, but that’s not the problem now. They solved that existential problem. The problem is that you have 12 million people here that are completely unaudited. And this is in addition to somewhere between 10 and 20 million that were here already, prior to Biden.

And on a good day, acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director Tom Homan and ICE and the Border Patrol can maybe deport, they find, 800. But Joe Biden let in 10 times that number per day. So, they would have to step up their efforts by a magnitude just to get back to where Joe Biden started.

If you let in 12 million people in the space of four years, you’re talking about 3 million a year. You’re talking 250,000 per month. So, you can see it’s 8,000 a day and there’s no way that that seems even feasible, even when the Left tries to obstruct that effort with sanctuary cities and district judges who entertain these lawsuits to stop it.

The other thing to remember is what was really tragic about what Joe Biden did is he privileged illegal aliens over U.S. citizens. Now, what do I mean by that? His Defense Department—it started under other Trump-era defense secretaries—but they drummed out 8,500 of some of our best soldiers because they did not trust the experimental mRNA vaccine. Many of them have had COVID-19 and had natural immunity. Think about that.

At the same time they did that, they were letting about 7,000 to 10,000 people a day come through with no worry about whether they were vaccinated or not.

So, they were telling some of our bravest soldiers: “We’re going to go after you and drum you out of the military if you don’t get this vaccine. But over here, we’re gonna let in 10,000 people, 8,000 people. We don’t know who they are. But they don’t have to have a vaccine.”

Take another example. We were supposed to all get something called the Real ID in 2020. It was delayed because of COVID-19. And it was enacted, I think, on May 7, 2025. But here’s the point. For the last two years, people have had to get ready to get that ID or they can’t fly. They have to have a passport or a birth certificate. They have to have proof of residency in their state, you know, bills or a lease or something. It’s a difficult process. You’ve got to go in person to the DMV.

So, what’s my point?

We were flying people in from Southern Mexico—to take one example—into particular airports in the United States, mostly in the Southwest but not exclusively. And we were doing it in the dead of night. And sometimes when you went to an airport, it would say “immigrants” but they were not checking anybody’s ID.

In other words, a person in Chiapas or Yucatan or Oaxaca or Michoacan could say that they were a refugee, get on an app—you know, hit the app—get on a plane, and fly to an airport at 2 in the morning without passport control. Think of that.

That happened while most Americans, as I speak, cannot get on a flight unless they have a real super ID that has been certified and adjudicated by forms of ID, in addition to your driver’s license.

Again, we are treating people who are breaking the law by coming here and residing here better than we are U.S. citizens.

And the wall is a wonderful thing that’s continuing. President Donald Trump’s efforts to secure the border have been widely successful but the problem right now is an existential one. What do you do with 12 million people when you can only deport 800 or a thousand a day? And you need to deport, if you want to solve the problem and get back to square one on Jan. 20, 2021, you’ve got to increase that by 10.

Final query: Why did Joe Biden do this? Or the people around him? What was the purpose? Was it to expand the DEI agenda? Was it to bring poor people that didn’t speak English, without skills or high school diplomas, so they would grow the entitlement industry? Have to raise taxes? Redistribution? Was it nihilism? He just got angry at Trump people and he thought, “This is one thing they won’t like, we’re just gonna open the borders”? Was it to change the demography so with mail-in and early voting these people could be instant constituents? Or was it just that he was mean? Mean. He was ?nihilist. He just said, “I’m going to blank blank this up.” Or was he incompetent? Good old Joe from Scranton.

I don’t know the answer to that. But I do know that we’re gonna have to find it in the next 20 years because this is the most grievous thing of all the terrible things that happened under the Biden administration. This one will be his legacy and we’re gonna have to live with it.

Ukraine War Heads in a Dangerous New Direction

 

Remember, it’s now gone on for over three years. And we had pretty much discussed the contours of the fight. Russia has now controlled about 20% of Ukrainian territory. And it’s using its enormous advantage in manpower, gross domestic product—10 times the GDP, four times the manpower, 30 times the territory—to grind down the Ukrainians, which have been slowly withdrawing net withdrawals. This is in addition to Crimea and Donbas that the Russians already had annexed.

The general consensus was that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was being unrealistic. He was counting on more than the $400 billion from the EU and the United States and NATO powers to continue the fight with the express purpose of gaining not just territory taken by Russia in 2022, but also what was taken during the Obama administration, the entire Donbas and the entire Crimea.

And the Trump administration had said: This is unrealistic. This is $1.5 million dead and wounded. It’s Stalingrad. It’s the Somme. It’s Verdun. We have to have some kind of peace to stop this slaughter, this cauldron of death, on the doorstep of Europe.

Ukraine has pretty much given up the idea that it can win a slugfest with Russia on the ground. Its army is pretty much static. The average age is up into the 30s of recruits. About 10 to 12 million people have left Ukraine. So, its problem is not technology. It’s not weaponry. It’s not money. It’s manpower. So that was pretty much what we saw.

And the Trump administration was basically saying what the world did to Gen. Carl Gustaf Mannerheim, the heroic Fin, in 1939 that withstood a Soviet invasion that wanted to absorb 10% to 15% of Finland. He fought for four months. And then finally, Mannerheim said, “I can’t resist this juggernaut. I’ll cut a deal with Stalin. Give him 11%. Promise not to use Finland to launch attacks in the future on Russia.” And he saved modern-day Finland for what it is now.

So people had sort of said that paradigm might work, that Zelenskyy could get real and give up the idea of getting back the Donbas and the Crimea, not get into NATO, and you might have a deal.

But the problem was President Donald Trump, who pursued that line of peace negotiations, found out that Russian President Vladimir Putin cannot take that back, apparently, after he started this insane war and tell the oligarchs, “I reified the fact that we have Donbas and Crimea. I went in a few miles into Ukraine. I expanded on it. Maybe we now have 20% of Ukraine. And they won’t be in NATO. And we’re going to have a ceasefire.” They said, “You did—that’s all you got? And you lost a million Russians, dead, wounded? No. No.”

So then we were in a stalemate. And Trump sort of pivoted and said now not Zelenskyy was unwilling to make a deal, but actually it was Putin.

And then something happened this week. Two things happened. A brilliant Ukrainian strategy of bringing by truck, stealthily, drones into the remote parts of Russia. Some of them are 2,500 miles away. Arctic bases, strategic bases that Russia counts on for the delivery of nuclear weapons and cruise missiles. And they have been used against Ukraine. Tupolev bombers.

And lo and behold, they launched this stealthy raid by drones. And we’ve never seen anything like it in military history. It destroyed 30% to 35% of the Russian strategic bomber fleet—$7 billion, 41 of these huge planes, some of them were sort of intelligence planes as well.

And then following up, there was a drone attack on the Kerch Bridge, that only link, really, that’s accessible for easy transport from mainland Russia into the Crimea. It’s essential. Now, the bridge will probably be repaired, but what am I getting at?

It shows you that Ukraine is now kind of having a turtle strategy. It’s not going to waste its limited manpower slugging it out. But it’s going to use drones and it’s going to make over a million of them. And they are the cutting edge of inexpensive, effective drone fabricators, producers in the world. They’re going to attack targets deep in Russia.

Is that going to bring Putin to the table? I don’t know. Strategically, it’s justified to show Putin he could lose all of his bomber fleet because it’s not just that they destroyed 41 bombers, but there is no deterrent. So, Putin and the Russian military are thinking: If they destroyed a third, what’s stopping two-thirds or the whole thing? How do we stop this? And who got them that close to be launched? And do we have enemies in our military? What’s going on?

So it was very effective. But the point I’m making is there’s going to be a retaliation. And there were certain rules in the Cold War that the two superpower rivals that were nuclear did not use a proxy to attack the homeland of another. So, imagine if during this Cuban Missile Crisis, Fidel Castro launched missiles that took out a third of our B-52 fleet. We wouldn’t just go after Castro. We would say to the Russians, “You broke the rules. You are attacking the American homeland using a proxy.”

I don’t know if that rule still applies, but what I’m getting at is while we all applaud Ukraine for doing something that was strategically necessary, geostrategically, it opens a new phase of the war. And Russia’s going to retaliate. And it’s talking about a type of retaliation we haven’t seen before. I’ll leave it at that.

But just when we thought the war might have some type of conciliation or armistice, Ukraine struck in a way that it had never done before and it was very effective. And we applaud that. But it’s going to earn a counterresponse that could lead to a cycle of escalation that could be very dangerous not just for Ukraine, but for NATO in general and the United States in particular.

The Left Is Selling Chaos. America Isn’t Buying.

 

I was looking at the polls today. Given all the negative views of President Donald Trump on the economy, he still has a 17-point lead over the Democrats when the public is asked, “Who do you have greater confidence in, Donald Trump or the Democrats, to manage the economy?”

We’re getting a lot of bias reporting on the riots in Los Angeles. The governor of California here, Gavin Newsom, and the mayor of Los Angeles, Karen Bass, have come down decidedly on the side of the violent protesters against the federal government trying to enforce federal immigration law.

And yet with all of that bias and prejudicial news reporting, 54% of the American people favored deportation. Not just apprehension. Deportation.

And then when we look at the transgender issue, that’s been in the news because there was a baseball game in Minnesota where a boy—a biological male, transgendered female, if you will—dominated sports and kept pitching inning after inning to ensure their victory.

We had one here in Clovis, California, the same type of situation where a biological male dominated the sporting event, taking the awards away from his female competitors. Same thing in Northern United States in Washington.

So, what I’m getting at is that the criticism of Donald Trump is not resonating with the people. On all those issues he polls favorably. And why is that? I think it’s a disconnect.

I talked about The Wall Street Journal in the past, they seem disconnected from reality after they told us we would now be in a recession, the stock market would be in the proverbial toilet, it would not recover, there would be high inflation and high—that didn’t happen. We just looked at the news. Inflation: down. Job growth: good. Unemployment: steadily low. Personal savings and real wages: up. Record profits for the Standard and Poor index.

And yet, when you look at The Wall Street Journal, they’ve learned nothing and forgotten nothing. Most of their stories today—and I’m speaking over the weekend and early part of next week—what are they talking about? They’re talking about a recession coming and people are jittery. But their own news stories do not validate their headlines.

So, the same thing is true of the transgender. People think that’s a popular issue. That is a losing issue. Donald Trump is on the right side—70% to 30% of the American people—just as he is on the economy. They believe that if you have fair and not just free trade, it’s in our interest. They believe that if you cut federal spending, it’s in our interest.

They believe, in the case of the Los Angeles riots, they do not want another May, June, July, August, September 2020. They do not want their officials, like former Vice President Kamala Harris, saying, ”These riots are not—these demonstrations are not gonna end. They’re gonna go on to election.” They don’t want that. They do not want a Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s wife saying that she opened up the window so she could smell the burning from the rioting. They don’t want that.

So, he nationalized the guard. And when Gavin Newsom, the governor of our state, sides with the protesters, and the mayor, Karen Bass, sides with the protesters who are now violent, we say to them:

Is there something about fire you like? You didn’t do anything about the fires in Pacific Palisades. You had policies that discouraged conservation of the hillsides and reasonable trimming and clearing up bushes and shrubs. Didn’t you learn from that, Mayor Bass? You were in Ghana of all places. Didn’t you learn from that? So, why would you and Newsom attack the federal government for trying to enforce a federal law and then using federal troops to restore order so we don’t have a 2020-like riot? And what credibility do you have when you are saying ‘reckless’ and ‘chaotic,’ the government. What’s reckless and chaotic is right before our eyes. People burning and looting.

So, what am I talking about? I’m talking about the Left’s insane opposition to anything Donald Trump does when the evidence is clear that the economy is doing well, that most people want deportations and an orderly immigration process and favor deportation to people who broke the law, and that they don’t want biological males in female sports.

And yet, the Left doesn’t see that. And so, they just hammer away on unpopular issues. And they wonder why people are kind of tired of them and why Donald Trump seems to be more popular than ever and more successful. It’s because he reflects what the people want and the people who oppose him don’t.

Strong Fathers Build Civilizations—Weak Ones Lose Them

 

. June 15th is Father’s Day. It’s always the third Sunday of June.

It derives, in our country, from the early 1900s, when people wanted to because we had a previous holiday of Mother’s Day. They wanted to also honor Father’s Day. In Europe, I think, it’s called St. Joseph’s Day to honor the husband of the Virgin Mary.

And, in any case, we honor what our parents did for us by Mother’s Day and for Father’s Day. It recalls something that I like to share with you. One of the roles of fathers is to give young children, especially males, a sense of direction. And almost this tragic sense that sometimes you have to do things that you don’t want to do, but somebody else won’t do them, you’re going to be in trouble.

And I look back at my father—I’d like to relate just three things very quickly.

Once he wanted us to work in the summer. We were working on the farm. There wasn’t enough work, so he had a friend that wanted us to shake almonds with a mallet. In those days, there was no machine. You just hit the mallet with a canvas. But it was 110 degrees in August. So, he dropped us off in this 40 acre almond field—the four of us—and he started to worry. He said, “My God, it’s hot. I’ve got to go talk to this guy.” And the guy said, ”No, you said you’re going to drop them off.” Bottom line. He came back in his early fifties and he had his work clothes on and he got a mallet. And he worked every day, for a week, hitting the trees while we moved the canvas and put them in gunny sack. And he was completely in sweat. And he said, “You boys are going to be in trouble.” And every hour, he went down to a mountain drive-in and brought back drinks and water. But he stood by us the whole time. And he outworked us.

Second thing I remember was, I was in Greece and I had a torn ureter. That’s when a kidney stone—a staghorn calculus—gets lodged and the ureter and begins to cut. And I was in pretty bad shape and I called my parents—they knew about it—and I said, “The doctor can’t take it out. I’ve got to get home.” My father said, “You get on the next flight, I wire you the money. Your mother will find a surgeon. And I will pick you up.” I said, “Well, how am I going to get from the airport to Fresno?”

“You worry about that. You worry about the flight. I will get you.” So, 20 hours later, I go there and here’s my father at the airport. I was 20 years old—excuse me—24. And he picks me up. He was 6’4″. He puts me into this old Buick station wagon, that he’d made into an ambulance. He put down all the seats. He had pillows, and he said, “We’re off on a wild ride, Victor.” And we drove 200 miles, in the middle of the night. And he pulled up right to the ambulance entry at Fresno Community Hospital. He pulled over in Los Banos. He called the surgeon and said, “I’m going to be here. You operate.” He pulled in. And within 40 minutes, I was being operated by a surgeon, in Fresno. Because of him. He saved my life.

The other thing that I remember was, I was—very quickly— at Stanford University, in a very bad neighborhood. I didn’t have a lot of money. I was on a scholarship. And he was very worried. My mother, of course, was too. And he said, “I’m going to drive up and see this.” So, he went up and he saw it was a rough neighborhood. Didn’t have a lot of money. The next thing I knew, he came over to my apartment and he had these sacks of frozen foods. And they weren’t just prepared foods, they were steaks, they were roast. And he said, “I bought you enough meat for six months. Let’s put it in the freezer.”

And I said, “Oh my gosh.” And my roommate, he was very poor. He was from a steelworker’s family in Ohio. So, he had all this meat. And then he said, “You have any money?” And I said—he looked—“Give me your wallet.” So, I had $20. And that was a lot of money, in 1975. So, he pulled out his wallet. He had three twenties. He gave all three to me. I said, “You don’t have any money to drive home.” He said, “You don’t worry about it.” And he said, “That $80, now you’re going to be—I want you to eat well.” He did that every time I was in trouble. And I think that’s the role of fathers.

And finally, I said to him, ”Dad, why do you always do this?” And he said, “Because that’s my responsibility. And that will be your responsibility, when you have children. You’re always there if they need you. You’re not there to pamper them. You’re not there to subsidize them. But they need you to keep them going, when they can’t go on their own.” And he didn’t mean that, in the sense of dependency. And he was always like that. And I cherish the memory of him.

And I think all of us, in this period of turbulent times, I think we must reevaluate the role of fathers. To the degree this country will make it, it will be a strong father figure that instructs us how to be masculine. How to be a man. How to protect the weak. How to stand forward and challenge bullies, that prey on the weak and the innocent. And that’s a lost art now. And to the degree, that we’ve had strong fathers, as I did, I think each year of our lives, we appreciate it evermore on Father’s Day.
Thank you very much.

The Rogue’s New Gallery of Left-Wing Scoundrels

 

Leave a reply

The entire career of race-baiter Al Sharpton was founded on falsehoods about the Tawana Brawley scam.

Nearly everything the Left told us about the Trayvon Martin fight was false.

The “hands up, don’t shoot” Ferguson fable and the Covington kids myth were quickly exposed.

The Daily Signal depends on the support of readers like you. Donate now

The Duke lacrosse and Jussie Smollett melodramas were laughable.

Russian “collusion,” “laptop” disinformation, and Joe Biden “fit as a fiddle” gaslighting were utter lies.

But more recently, the hard Left lost its mind championing a host of violent, unsavory characters.

The illegal alien and El Salvadorian national, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, was portrayed as a victim of unfair deportation in the Left’s larger, losing war for open borders.

Abrego Garcia became a “Maryland Man”: a supposed poor victim of Trump overreach.

He was constructed as a family man engaged in construction to feed his family, who somehow forgot to become “documented” and was deported.

In truth, Garcia is now facing felony indictments for human trafficking. He was a likely MS-13 gang member, a violent and bullying woman-beater, and rarely employed gainfully in construction.

Luigi Mangione was a rich, spoiled kid who dabbled in Jacobin politics.

Posing as a revolutionary, Mangione ambushed Brian Thompson, the CEO of UnitedHealthcare. He murdered him in cold blood near a New York hotel.

Instantly, some on the Left embraced Mangione as a revolutionary hero who delivered justice to a supposedly greedy corporate capitalist.

Mohammed Sabry Soliman, like Garcia, was a violent illegal alien. He bragged about his hatred of Jews in general and Israel in particular.

So Soliman made some Molotov cocktails and tried to incinerate Jewish marchers advocating on behalf of Israeli hostages still held by Hamas.

Soliman’s wife and five children, to whom Soliman filmed a video explaining his dedication to violent jihad, were also illegal aliens.

Soliman may well have preferred to burn Jews to remind us of the fires of the Holocaust ovens.

In the mind of the mainstream liberal media, the Soliman family was cruelly detained by the evil Donald Trump administration that was considering returning the illegal aliens to their Middle East homes.

But recently, during the LA riots, the Left went completely crazy as the entire Democrat Party and California state officials sided with violent protesters and illegal aliens.

The open border rioters soon got the message that left-wing California officials were on their side.

So, throngs began burning cars. Illegal aliens waved Mexican flags and burned American flags.

Protesters spat on law enforcement and pelted them with rocks, firecrackers, and concrete blocks.

Stores were looted. Critical freeways were swarmed and shut down.

And for what?

To protest the legal efforts of U.S. Immigration of Customs Enforcement to serve deportation warrants to a few hundred of some 10 million-12 million illegal aliens who had illegally swarmed into the U.S. during the Joe Biden administration’s four-year destruction of immigration law.

California Governor Gavin Newsom damned the federal immigration efforts as “chaotic” and “reckless” and seemed obsessed only with Trump.

Then Newsom dared ICE to arrest him.

Like some antebellum, neo-Confederate, states’ rights activist, Newsom threatened to withhold California’s federal income taxes from the federal government—a possible felony.

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass—recently infamous for junketing in Ghana while Pacific Palisades burned down—warned ICE that, “We will not stand for this.”

What did her threat mean? Did she intend to use force to support the street thugs against her fellow American officers?

California Democrat Congresswoman Norma Torres screamed at overwhelmed ICE agents seeking to issue arrest warrants with the obscene threat, “Get the f— out of LA!”

As the mob violence increased and public outrage grew, a desperate and now embarrassed Newsom could only double down on his obsessions with Trump.

What has caused Newsom’s Trump Derangement Syndrome?

Is it because Trump called out the National Guard and Marines to aid an overwhelmed Los Angeles Police Department to stop the violence that left-wing officials and the media had appeased?

In sum, is the Left once again trying to commit political suicide?

Polls showed overwhelming public support for deporting those who illegally entered and reside in the U.S., especially the nearly half a million believed criminals.

Trump’s own most supportive demographic in recent polls has been Hispanics. Like all Americans, they are appalled by violent thugs and illegal aliens waving Mexican flags who have no wish to return to Mexico while burning American flags as they demand illegally to stay in the U.S.

The more the incoherent Left claimed the protests were “peaceful” and damned the Trump administration for sending them help, the more the violence continued.

And the more the public was relieved that Trump was trying to stop the riots.

Democrats currently lack sane and effective leaders.

But that is no excuse to swoon over creepy gang-bangers, spoiled-brat assassins, antisemitic burners of Jews, and illegal aliens breaking the law and damning America—while waving Mexican flags.
