Illegal Invasion Rates Plummeted
with Trump Zero Tolerance Border Policy
{ rickwells.us} ~ Illegal immigration on the southwest border appears to have dropped in June, according to new numbers reported Monday... signaling President Trump’s zero-tolerance policy may have been successful in changing the calculations for would-be invaders. The Associated Press reported that the Border Patrol arrested 34,057 immigrants who illegally crossed the border last month, down from 40,344 people in May. The numbers, which came from an unnamed government official, are still preliminary, the AP reported. But if they hold, it would be the biggest drop since the first couple of months of Mr. Trump’s tenure, when analysts say the mere fact of his election forced immigrants to change their minds about coming to the U.S. Officials had hinted at the improved numbers in recent weeks, but have held off on commenting publicly until the data is finalized. Mr. Trump’s zero-tolerance policy was announced in early May and began to take effect throughout the month. The goal was to change migrants’ incentives and perhaps dissuade some from making the trip... https://rickwells.us/illegal-invasion-border-zero/

Left Starting to Eat its Own? dummycrats-Dem
Accuses Pulosi, clown-Schumer of Racism
by Selwyn Duke
{ thenewamerican.com } ~ House Minority Leader Nancy Pulosi (D-Calif.) and Senator Chuck clown-Schumer (D-N.Y.), devoted liberals both, are “racist.”... That’s according to leftist CNN political commentator Angela Rye (D-Media), shown, who condemned the two gerontocrats for criticizing scumbag/mad-Maxine Waters’ (D-Calif.) call for the harassment of Trump officials. It’s reflective of the rise of a more radical “new Left,” which threatens both the old guard’s power and our nation itself. The new Left is just like the old Left — only more so. It’s epitomized by Tuesday’s upset victory in New York’s 14th district, where 28-year-old avowed socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez defeated the favored 20-year incumbent, House dummycrats-Democratic Caucus Chairman Joe Crowley (D-N.Y.), by a wide margin. Interestingly, Cortez played the race card against Crowley, sending the message that no one should vote for an old white guy. She even retweeted the picture of an attorney who expressed the sentiment that “all white people are racist.” She certainly knows something about white people. She was surrounded by them in wealthy Yorktown Heights, New York, which is where, contrary to her “Bronx girl” image, she spent most of her formative years. Perhaps Cortez should be asked if Pulosi and clown-Schumer — and other white dummycrats-Democrats — are “racist,” since they’re part of “all white people.” Regardless, Donald Trump, Jr. noted the internecine dummycrats-Democrat strife and tweeted: "You know the dummycrats-Democrats are having a bad week when they start calling each other racists instead of just using that term for anything or anyone they disagree with politically."...Sick to My Stomach

Inside the Iran Protests: An IPT Exclusive Video Report
by Steven Emerson
{ investigativeproject.org } ~ Anti-government protests throughout Iran are heating up, with security forces reportedly killing four protesters Saturday night... The unrest is driven by Iran's crippling economic conditions. Unemployment is soaring as Iran's currency, the rial, plummets by more than 50 percent. The city of Khorramshahr, in southwest Iran near the Iraqi border, has been without drinkable water for more than two weeks. Iran's economy was supposed to be aided by the elimination of economic sanctions under the nuclear deal reached with the United States and five allied nations. Instead, the regime chose to invest heavily in proxy wars in Yemen, in sending its own troops to protect Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad, and to underwrite Hamas and Hizballah's endless terror campaigns aimed at annihilating Israel. Now the U.S. has withdrawn from the nuclear deal and is imposing new sanctions, promising to make Iran's economy worse. Ordinary Iranians in dozens of cities have taken to the street to curse their leaders, curse the terrorists in far-away lands and to say, essentially, Iran First... .

From Maine Sunday Telegram |
Last week, another young woman named Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez won an upset victory in a New York dummycrats-Democrat congressional primary on a platform pledging to eliminate ICE. US Senator and presidential contender Kristin Gillebrand (D-NY) is also campaigning to abolish ICE. Congressman scumbag-Keith Ellison (D-MN), who is also Vice Chairman of the dummycrats-Democrat Party, paraded last week with a T-shirt proclaiming: “Yo No Creo En Fronteras”— Spanish for “I don’t believe in borders.” In a commencement speech for Northeastern University two years ago, former Secretary of State and dummycrats-Democrat presidential candidate hanoi-John Kerry told graduates to get ready for a “borderless world.”
On Sunday, Mexicans elected a new president who said: “We will defend migrants all over the American continent and the migrants of the world who, by necessity, must abandon their towns to find life in the United States; it’s a human right we will defend.” A headline in Monday’s San Diego Tribune declared: “Californians cross border to vote in Mexican election.” Are they Californians or are they Mexicans? Can they vote in both countries?
Britons voted two years ago to leave the EU — largely to control their borders. Italians just chose a new prime minister in an election the BBC called “dominated by the immigration debate.” Austria recently elected Chancellor Sebastian Kurz, who wants to strengthen Austria’s border against illegal immigrants. Chancellor Angela Merkel’s coalition government is in danger of breaking apart over border issues in neighboring Germany. President Donald Trump was elected here in 2016 promising to build a wall on the Mexican border.
If border enforcement is not the biggest issue in the entire western world, I don’t know what is. Trying to imagine a world without borders as the Conway, New Hampshire young woman advises, seems problematic. Should a Fryeburg cop arrest people over the border in Conway? What about gun laws? They’re very strict in Massachusetts but not in Maine, New Hampshire or Vermont. What about sales taxes and income taxes? New Hampshire doesn’t have any but Maine and Massachusetts do. Who is obligated to pay them and who isn’t? Who should determine that? Will states just abandon their sovereignty?
We purchased fourteen acres on which we built our home in Lovell. Do we have the right to say who can come onto it or who cannot? Can anyone camp out here? Can they cut firewood? How about our dooryard? Does a dog have the right to bark at intruders? New Hampshire poet Robert Frost wrote: “Home is the place where, when you have to go there, they have to take you in.” Family members have rights to come into our home, but do we have to take anybody? How about our home town? Our home state? Our home country? Are taxpaying citizens obligated to support whoever takes up residence? What is a citizen? Does that designation mean anything?
If people from other parts of the world come into our home town, home state, or home country, are we obligated to pay for their health care and their education? Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez got 57% of the vote by declaring medical care, housing, education, and a federal job as “rights,” but for whom? Everybody in the world? There’s serious disagreement about those questions in North American and in Europe. So far, those disagreements are being dealt with through the political process — peacefully, that is — so far.
Here’s hoping it stays that way, but I have little confidence that it will.
