Word on the street is that 25 million have poured in since biden took office. That might be a conservative estimate.

I doubt it is that high. But, it is too high.

Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) proved Wednesday that Biden administration officials are unable to answer "really basic" questions about the border crisis.

At a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing focused on unaccompanied migrant children, Kennedy quizzed senior government officials on elementary details about the ongoing crisis.

First, Kennedy asked Assistant Director of Homeland Security Investigations Cardell Morant how many "non-American citizens have come into our country illegally or on the basis of a claim of asylum" under President Joe Biden's watch. In response, Morant admitted that he does not know the number despite being a "senior member of Homeland Security."

Kennedy then asked the other three hearing witnesses — Joseph Salazar, director of Central American Affairs at the State Department; Robin Marcos, director of the Office of Refugee Resettlement; and Seema Nanda, solicitor of labor at the Labor Department — if they knew the answer.

But none of them knew the number.

"None of you know the number? Try 8 million. Now of that 8 million, how many were children, Mr. Morant?" Kennedy followed up.

"I don't have that number," Morant admitted again.

"You don't know? Does anybody know? None of you know? Isn't that special. Let's assume half, OK? Eight million is four Nebraskas, right? Four new states. Let's assume, half of them are children. How many of those 8 million people are still here? Do any of you know?" Kennedy asked the panel.

But the panel was again silent. Kennedy then peppered the witnesses with a rapid-fire round of question.

"How many of those 8 million are claiming asylum? You don't know? How many of them claim asylum and don't show up for their hearing? Nobody knows? How many of them claim asylum, don't show up for their hearing and President Biden has deported them? You don't know?" the senator questioned. "How many of them have claimed asylum, shown up for their asylum hearing and been denied asylum and been deported? You don't know. How many of them were from Mexico? You don't know."

They should build five star resorts in sanctuary cities for the drug dealers that MS-13 smuggles across the border. AOC will vote for that.

A large group of nicely dressed Chinese migrants with impeccable luggage were photographed attempting to illegally cross the U.S.-Mexico border into California.

The migrants claimed that they were attempting to get into the U.S. after fleeing communist China. They can be seen wearing nice clothes and equipped with pristine luggage, unlike the majority of those illegally trying to get over the border.

The group was processed after the illegal attempt to cross the border.

The Dems are so embarrassed by their total failure at the Southern border that they try and shut down all discussion of the crisis.


Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D) allegedly lost his temper on Tuesday because Republican senators insisted top government officials discuss the border crisis.

According to reports, a classified briefing about Ukraine funding — led by Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Charles Brown Jr. — became heated when Republican lawmakers began asking the officials direct questions about border security.

Schumer, however, immediately tried to stop such inquiries, demanding lawmakers speak only about Ukraine funding.

As blue cities like New York City and Chicago suffer under the strain of the invasion, Republicans will never have a better chance to force a funding fight and real changes with the Biden administration.

While Border Patrol agents are learning the finer points of preferred pronouns, criminal gang members are crossing the southern border unmolested. And if border agents happen to confront them, they're often cited and released.

Where do they go? Everywhere.

What is the Republican plan to stop them? Good question.

Democratic Rep. Yvette Clarke, a radical leftist congresswoman running for re-election this year in New York's 9th District, made clear in an undated video that went viral this week that this avoidable crisis is not all for naught. Rather, she regards it as a good thing for the right people.

"I'm from Brooklyn, New York. We have a diaspora that can absorb a significant number of these migrants," said Clarke, who has served on the House Committee on Homeland Security. "When I hear colleagues talk about, you know, the doors of the inn being closed — ah, no room at the inn — I'm saying I need more people in my district just for redistricting purposes."

Democrats have been fighting for years to redraw New York's congressional map to ensure Republicans no longer have a chance in two to six swing districts from Long Island to Syracuse. The New York Times noted that the New York Court of Appeals' (the state's highest court) controversial ruling last month may ultimately flip the House in Democrats' favor. More bodies will help in that regard.

"And those members could clearly fit here," added Clarke, referencing illegal aliens.

You're screwed.

The 'border crisis' is not a crisis at all. It is a political offensive unfolding exactly as progressives intended.

AOC's plan to solve the border crisis, not with some ridiculous solution like building a wall, but by granting documentation to every illegal immigrant in America.

Is that her plan to fight crime too. Don't charge anybody who breaks the law.
