Droves of African Migrants in Mexico Awaiting U.S. Asylum, Under what appears a Secret Obama 'admin' accord.

Droves of African Migrants in Mexico Awaiting U.S. Asylum Under what appears a Secret Obama 'admin' accord. HT: Judicial Watch.

Herds of African immigrants are being housed in shelters in the Mexican border town of Tijuana while they await entry into the United States under what appears to be a secret accord between the Obama administration, Mexico and the Central American countries the Africans transited on their journey north. 

A backlog of African migrants is overwhelming limited shelter space in Tijuana and Mexican officials blame the slow pace of U.S. immigration authorities in the San Isidro port of entry for granting only 50 asylum solicitations daily.

Details about this disturbing program come from Mexico’s immigration agency, Instituto Nacional de Migracion (INM), and appear this week in an article published by the country’s largest newspaper.

The concentration of foreigners towards Mexico Is based on an agreement that Mexico will help them gain entry into the U.S. so they can solicit asylum. Read the full story here.

U'S. - Overall Deportations Drop in 2015, 27% for Criminal Aliens.

U'S. - Overall Deportations Drop in 2015, 27% for Criminal Aliens. HT: Judicial watch.

A year after freeing tens of thousands of illegal immigrants convicted of serious crimes, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is distorting annual deportation figures by falsely claiming the number of criminal aliens removed from the U.S. keeps increasing when in fact it’s shrinking drastically.

In fiscal year 2015 deportation figures released this week, DHS celebrates that its enforcement efforts prioritize criminals and threats to public safety as well as national security. The agency created after 9/11 to keep the country safe claims the latest stats show “the number of convicted criminals removed from the interior continued to increase.”

The reality is that deportations of criminal aliens declined 27% from last year—from 86,923 in 2014 to 63,127 in 2015. This serious discrepancy was exposed by the Washington D.C.-based Center for Immigration Studies (CIS), which further reveals that the number of criminal deportations in fiscal year 2015 is less than half of what it was in 2011.

Immigration enforcement remains in a state of collapse, according to the official statistics released by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) today.

• Total deportations by ICE (including both border and interior cases) declined 25% from last year, from 315,943 in 2014 to 235,413 in 2015.
• Interior deportations by ICE declined 31% from last year, from 100,114 in 2014 to 69,478 in 2015.
• Most concerning, deportations of criminal aliens from the interior declined 27% from last year, from 86,923 in 2014 to 63,127 in 2015.

The number of interior deportations is now less than one-third of what it was in 2011, before the Obama administration implemented policy changes that greatly restricted the types of cases that ICE officers and agents could pursue for deportation. The number of criminal alien deportations from the interior is less than half of what it was in 2011.




ICE Director Sarah Saldana said that she was "proud of the numbers" when she testified at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on December 2, 2015.

In a press release announcing the numbers today, DHS falsely says "the number of convicted criminals removed from the interior continued to increase." In fact, only the share of deportations that are of criminals has increased – the actual number has fallen, as noted above. Read the full story here.

Top Law Enforcement Official: 'Islamic Terrorists Have Infiltrated U.S. Through Mexico.'

Top Law Enforcement Official: 'Islamic Terrorists Have Infiltrated U.S. Through Mexico.' HT: JudicialWatch.

A few days ago a top law enforcement official finally confirmed that Islamic terrorists have infiltrated the United States through Mexico, a story that Judicial Watch broke last year as part of an ongoing series involving the dangerously porous southern border.

Last October JW reported that four members of the militant group Islamic State of Iraq and Greater Syria (ISIS), who entered the U.S. through the Mexican border, were arrested in McAllen and Pharr Texas. Then, over the summer, JW reported that Mexican drug cartels are smuggling foreigners from countries with terrorist links into a small Texas rural town near El Paso and they’re using remote farm roads—rather than interstates—to elude the Border Patrol and other law enforcement barriers.

During a visit to Laredo a few days ago the Director of the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS), Steven McCraw, answered a question from a member of the public who asked if any suspected ISIS terrorists had ever been apprehended on the Mexican border. A local news outlet published McCraw’s answer: “Individuals that come across the Texas/Mexican border from countries with a known terrorism presence and the answer to that is yes."

Obama to grant amnesty to as many illegal immigrants as possible before he leaves office.

Obama to Protect Illegal Aliens Based on “Accrual of Unlawful Presence” in U.S.. (Judicial Watch).

Three years after the Obama administration quietly rewarded illegal immigrants with “unlawful presence waivers” it has a new plan in the works to shield them from deportation based on the “accrual of unlawful presence” in the United States.

That’s right; illegal aliens with the longest record of violating our laws will be rewarded by our government, according to the proposed plan obtained by Judicial Watch this month from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). It’s all part of the president’s mission to grant amnesty to as many illegal immigrants as possible before he leaves office. This includes special executive programs created to help illegal aliens brought to the U.S. as children and “family reunification” measures that shield relatives and spouses of a broad range of immigrants.

The latest amnesty measure—based on accrual of unlawful presence—further relaxes the rule and drastically expands the pool of eligible candidates by, among other things, eliminating the requirement that applicants must be relatives of U.S. citizens.  Read the full story here.

Judicial Watch: "Pres Obama May Have Been Elected With Illegal Votes."

Judicial Watch: "Obama May Have Been Elected With Illegal Votes." HT: Judicial Watch.

A large number of non-citizens cast ballots in U.S. elections and it’s possible that the illegal votes were responsible for President Obama’s 2008 victory, according to an in-depth academic study that confirms Judicial Watch’s assessment that foreign nationals have helped Democrats steal elections.

Non-citizens tend to favor Democrats and Obama won more than 80% of the votes of non-citizens in the 2008 sample gathered by the Cooperative Congressional Election Study (CCES), a large-scale academic survey project operated by teams of researchers from across the country. 

In fact, enough ineligible voters cast ballots in 2008 to conceivably account for Democratic victories in a few close elections, CCES researchers found.

The CCES is an esteemed and highly respected operation that recently published shocking information, gathered from big social science survey datasets, that supports Judicial Watch’s work in this area.

“Non-citizen votes could have given Senate Democrats the pivotal 60th vote needed to overcome filibusters in order to pass health-care reform and other Obama administration priorities in the 111th Congress,” the researchers write.

“Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) won election in 2008 with a victory margin of 312 votes. Votes cast by just 0.65 percent of Minnesota non-citizens could account for this margin. It is also possible that non-citizen votes were responsible for Obama’s 2008 victory in North Carolina. Obama won the state by 14,177 votes, so a turnout by 5.1 percent of North Carolina’s adult non-citizens would have provided this victory margin.”

“This is a major story and confirms JW’s working theory that foreign nationals illegally vote in federal elections in large numbers and have allowed Democrats, including this president, to steal elections,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.

“This is why the Left does not want voter ID, loves same day registration, by mail voting, etc. and craves amnesty and open borders. It is not about the Hispanic vote – it is about the illegal alien vote (and the legal alien vote), it is about stealing elections.  Makes all the talk about targeting, messaging, issues, candidates, and policy seem quaint.” Read the full story here.

American jihadist kills four in the US to protest Obama's policies in the Middle East

American jihadist kills 4 in the United States to protest Obama's policies in the Middle East.(IraqiNews).

The Los Angeles Times newspaper confirmed that an American citizen killed four people in the United States to protest against the policy of the United States in Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan, indicating that he told the investigating judge that he avenged in this way from the American government for its policy in the Middle East.

The Los Angeles Times said that “an American citizen named Ali Mohamed Brown lives in Seattle admitted that he murdered four people in Washington and New Jersey, adding “he killed them in retaliation of the United States government for its policy in the Middle East, Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq.”

It is noteworthy that “Muhammad Ali Brown announced in front of the investigating judge that he has claimed responsibility for the killing of three people in Washington, and he killed another person in New Jersey, admitting that he has assassinated them in protest against the deaths in Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq.Hmmmm.....The first of probably many more to come.Read the full story here.

'Israel's staunchest ally' U.S. Will Not Leverage Arms Transfers to Israel to Bring About Cease-Fire.

'Israel's staunchest ally' U.S. Will Not Leverage Arms Transfers to Israel to Bring About Cease-Fire. (Forward).

The Obama administration will not leverage arms transfers to Israel to bring about a cease-fire, the top Pentagon spokesman said.

The arms and ammunition provided to Israel is “through a longstanding foreign military sales program,” Rear Adm. John Kirby, the Pentagon press secretary, told reporters on Saturday. “Israel is a staunch ally in that part of the world. And that program has existed for many years, and we’re supplying that material through that program.”

Kirby stressed that the United States has made it clear that it would like to see a cease-fire and an end to violence in Gaza. He added, “We respect the right for Israel to have to defend itself. And as I said before, I think the Israelis would tell you that the — and I won’t speak for them, but I think it’s safe to say that, you know, that they would like to see a return to peace, as well.

“It is made more difficult when Hamas hides behind civilian targets, deliberately puts civilians in harm’s way and indiscriminately fires rockets into Israel.”

Asked what the Department of Defense would like Israel to do to minimize civilian casualties in Gaza, Kirby responded, “I’m not going to litigate from the podium what the Israeli Defense Forces need to do operationally. We’ve made our concerns about civilian casualties known to them, concerns that Minister [Moshe] Yaalon shared himself.”

Kirby reiterated that the U.S. government has put pressure on Israel to reduce civilian casualties.

Hamas urging women to have more children to create a larger army. HT: New scientist.

The population density of the Gaza Strip has been disputed, but in comparison with other cities, Gaza City, with a population of around 750,000, is undoubtedly a densely populated urban area.

This goes some way to explaining the high numbers of casualties in the current conflict. Some 63 Israelis and about 1460 Palestinians have died since the current conflict started a month ago, with children accounting for at least 245 of the deaths. But why so many children? It turns out that there are unusual features about the population structure in Gaza that make it an enigma in the modern world.

First, the Gaza Strip's population of roughly 1.8 million has an unusually large proportion of children. Figures for 2013 from Index Mundi, the internet source of country data, show that that 43.5 per cent of the population is aged 14 or under, compared with 32 per cent in Egypt and 27 per cent in Israel.

The median age in Gaza is 18, compared with a world average of 28. In most European countries it's about 40, and it is 30 in Israel. Only in a dozen or so African countries is the median age lower, reaching 15 in Uganda.

The data from Index Mundi show that the fertility rate in Gaza, 4.4 children per woman, is among the highest in the world.

"Palestinian women are not having lots of children because they don't know about contraception, or can't access contraception," says Sara Randall, an anthropologist at University College London, who co-authored the 2006 investigation. "So one has to conclude that they actually want lots of children."

"In a situation where disempowerment, underemployment and marginalisation have left few opportunities for expression of identity, reproduction is one of the few liberties which remains, and also contributes to the larger goal of increasing the Palestinian people," it says.

Pedersen says that a sense of duty to expand the population is a factor that can't be dismissed. "There have been statements from Hamas urging women to have more children to create a larger army," he says.

“Really, it happened right in the area, the sound of it was really loud,” she said. “It’s true that rockets are launched here from the Gazan side into Israel.”

Video - Hamas: We "love death for Allah"

HT: Palwatch. A recorded statement by Hamas Chief of Staff Muhammad Deif, prepared during the current Gaza war, announced:

"Today you [Israelis] are fighting divine soldiers, 

who love death for Allah like you love life, 

and who compete among themselves for Martyrdom 

like you flee from death." 

Hamas TV also chose to broadcast yesterday a statement former Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh said in the past:

"We love death like our enemies love life! 

We love Martyrdom, the way in which [Hamas] leaders died."

[Al-Aqsa TV (Hamas), July 30, 2014]

Anyone thinking this is not a religious war read the following from Hamas their 'Charter' 

In the name of Allah the Merciful and the Compassionate.

"You are the best nation that has been brought out for mankind. You command good and forbid evil and believe in Allah. If only the people of the Book [i.e., Jews and Christians] had believed, it would have been well for them. Some of them believe, but most of them are iniquitous. They will never be able to do you serious harm, they will only be an annoyance. If they fight you, they will turn their backs and flee, and will not be succored. Humiliation is their lot wherever they may be, except where they are saved from it by a bond with Allah or by a bond with men. They incurred upon themselves Allah's wrath, and wretchedness is their lot, because they denied Allah's signs and wrongfully killed the prophets, and because they disobeyed and transgressed." (Koran, 3:110-112).

"Israel will exist, and will continue to exist, until Islam abolishes it, as it abolished that which was before it." [From the words of] The martyr, Imam Hasan al-Banna', Allah's mercy be upon him. [2]

 "The Islamic world is burning, and each and every one of us must pour water, even if it be a little, to extinguish whatever he can extinguish, without waiting for others." [From the words of] Sheikh Amjad Al-Zahawi, Allah's mercy be upon him. [3]

In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate 

Israel will not attend Gaza truce talks in Cairo, official says

Israel will not attend Gaza truce talks in Cairo, official says.(Jpost).

Israel will not send envoys to Gaza truce negotiations in Egypt on Saturday as planned, an Israeli official said, accusing Hamas of misleading international mediators.

"Hamas is not interested in an accommodation," the official said on condition of anonymity.

Egypt's President said on Saturday the ceasefire plan proposed by his country offered the chance to end the Gaza conflict, but warned that lost time further complicated matters.

"The Egyptian initiative is a real chance to find a real solution to the crisis taking place in the Gaza Strip," Abdel Fattah al-Sisi told a joint press conference in Cairo with Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi.

"Lost time ...complicates the situation more and more."

A Fatah delegation led by senior official Azzam Al-Ahmed will fly into Cairo from Jordan for talks, a Palestinian official in Ramallah said. Exiled officials from Hamas and the Islamic Jihad militant group will also join the negotiations.

But following a breakdown of the Friday truce, Hamas officials in Gaza will not attend.Hmmm....You don't negotiate with 'mad dogs' and those that feed them.

Former U.S. Representative Dennis John Kucinich: "Israel opted to invade Gaza instead of destroy the tunnels from the sky out of bloodlust." HT: IMRA.

[Even PM didn't know] Former U.S. Representative Dennis John Kucinich Reveals Israel's Most Closely Held Secret On Fox News? Dr. Aaron Lerner - IMRA 1 August 2014

Former U.S. Representative Dennis Kucinich revealed in an interview on Fox News today that Israel possesses the technology to detect the tunnels in the Gaza Strip and destroy them in pinpoint aerial strikes. Kucinich explained that Israel opted to invade Gaza instead of destroy the tunnels from the sky out of bloodlust.

It is not known how Mr. Kucinich is privy to this super classified information.

The technology for detecting the tunnels is such a highly kept secret in Israel that even the Prime Minister, Defense Minister and IDF Chief of Staff do not apparently have the security clearance to be privy to this tremendous technological achievement.

It should be noted that this is such a highly prized secret - if Mr. Kucinich is correct - that in order to leave the impression that Israel does not yet have such technology Israel is currently investing a small fortune in tunnel detection technology that will at best be available in another year and a half - this when the technology being development is already expected to be subject to significant limitations.

There is of course a second possibility.

And that is that, as the American saying goes, Mr. Kucinich may not be the sharpest tool in the shed.

'Israel's Staunchest Ally" - US Embassy in Tel Aviv Severely Restricts Visas for Israelis.

'Israel's Staunchest Ally" - US Embassy in Tel Aviv Severely Restricts Visas for Israelis. (INN).

The US embassy in Tel Aviv has cancelled tourist visa applications for Israelis, according to a statement on its official website, in a move it claims is a matter of staffing and security. 

"Due to the current security situation in Tel Aviv, U.S. Embassy Tel Aviv remains open but is operating at reduced staffing until further notice, and has canceled routine visa application processing and American Citizen services," the statement says. "Emergencies involving an American citizen and visa applications will be considered on a case by case basis."

The statement surfaces in the midst of both souring US-Israel relations and an already-pressured visa crisis, which has seen the visa process for Israelis grow more and more difficult over the past year.

In April, US Secretary of State John Kerry announced an internal review into claims that hundreds of young Israelis were being barred from entering the US for political reasons.

Major Israeli politicians claimed in May that the US had been "humiliating" them during the visa application process for years, according to a report in Yediot Aharonot, and had been forced to endure long wait times for acceptance and allowed only brief visits to their alleged ally.Hmmm....Chicago politics 101.
