AOC Wants Biden to Make It Easier for Businesses to Hire Illegals

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez demanded Joe Biden and his administration make it easier for leftist business owners to hire illegal immigrants who come into this country.

After Title 42 expired on Thursday night, Rep. AOC, D-N.Y., went on Twitter to demand the federal government make it easier for illegals to get a job.

“New Yorkers & small businesses have made clear that we are ready to employ our migrant neighbors,” she wrote.

“And our newly arrived NYers have stated clearly that they want to support themselves safely. Let’s get it done. We are asking the Federal gov to grant us work authorizations.”

Axios reported that AOC is leading a group of Democrats in New York that wants Biden to find ways to allow illegal aliens to access work permits faster.

This group of 13 lawmakers in the Democratic Party is asking Biden to use different immigration authorities to avoid rules that prevent illegals from getting work permits until they have been in the United States for around six months.

“Many asylum seekers want to work,” the lawmakers wrote in a letter. “We ask that your administration support the many states, cities and communities enthusiastically welcoming asylum seekers across this country.”

Even though Biden himself can’t change the 180-day rule, he could use parole to allow people to begin working within that window of time instead.

“Parole is a discretionary tool the government can use to allow people to enter the country, often for humanitarian reasons,” according to Axios.

The Post Millennial reported that the move comes after House Republicans passed a sweeping border security package just hours before Title 42 expired so that illegals would not be able to swarm the country completely. However, even though it passed the House, it is unlikely to pass in the Senate which is currently controlled by Democrats.

Brawl Breaks Out at Democratic Meeting

Brawl Breaks Out at Democratic Meeting

(Headline USA) A brawl broke out over nominations for Democratic Minneapolis City Council candidates, leaving at least two people injured, a newspaper reported.

The scuffle arose during the Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party’s endorsing convention for Minneapolis Ward 10, held Saturday at a magnet school in the city, the Star Tribune reported.

Video posted on social media showed the disturbance began after supporters of Minneapolis Council Member Aisha Chughtai took the stage, which caused an uproar among supporters of her challenger, Nasri Warsame. Some Warsame supporters jumped on stage, shouting, banging on tables and waving signs, the paper reported.

Convention chair Sam Doten called the behavior embarrassing and adjourned the event without a nominee being chosen, saying it was no longer safe.

At least one person was treated at a hospital for injuries that were not believed to be life threatening, the newspaper said. A second person was treated at the scene.

No arrests were made, Minneapolis police spokesman Brian Feintech told the newspaper.

Chughtai said in a statement on her website that more than a dozen of her supporters and DFL volunteers were assaulted, claiming Warsame delegates “charged the stage assaulting me and my supporters as I was about to begin my convention speech.”

Warsame said in a Facebook post afterward that his campaign manager was assaulted by a staff member of the Chughtai campaign, according to the newspaper report.

Minnesota DFL Chair Ken Martin said in a statement posted on Twitter on Saturday evening that “the assaults and violence at the Ward 10 convention were perpetrated by supporters of Nasri Warsame.” Martin denounced the violence and apologized to Chughtai and her supporters and staff.

“Harassment and violence are unacceptable, and we expect candidates and their campaign teams to work hard to curb such behavior when it comes from their supporters, staffers, or volunteers,” Martin said. “Warsame and his team took the opposite approach at today’s convention by escalating the situation and encouraging conflict.”

Martin said on Twitter that he plans to call an emergency meeting to consider banning anyone involved in the assaults from the DFL Party, but he didn’t say how quickly that might happen.

The Minnesota DFL is an affiliate of the national Democratic Party.

Maricopa County Election Director Told Woman to Abuse Voting System

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) O’Keefe Media Group [OMG] revealed that one of the Maricopa County election officials instructed her on how to cheat in the elections.

OMG’s citizen journalist said that she met with Maricopa County Election Director Rey Valenzuela at the secret invite-only “Summit on American Democracy” from May 8-9. Valenzuela reportedly told the woman exactly how to abuse the ERIC voter registration system so that she would be able to vote multiple times in different states.

“I asked him, if you were to do it, how would you do it? And he says, ‘Oh, I’ll tell you what I would do. Everybody’s got the ERIC system except some states. So, what I would do is I would move from an ERIC state to a non-ERIC state,'” she said.

“‘It’d never find me, you’d never match up, and you’d never be eliminated for your two votes. Otherwise, when you have your name in one state that’s not an ERIC state and your name in an ERIC state, well, it just so happens that you can vote twice.”

According to the Gateway Pundit, the Washington D.C. event was hosted by leftist David Becker and his Center for Election Innovation and Research (CEIR) organization. Becker also founded the ERIC system used in over 30 states, including Arizona.

The system that was originally funded by George Soros is now responsible for cleaning the voter rolls in a majority of states, plus D.C.

Conveniently, ERIC also does not want to know who is voting illegally.

“Under no circumstances shall the members transmit any record indicating an individual is a non-citizen of the U.S.,” according to Exhibit A, 2b.

The gateway Pundit reported that this is the first time an election official has admitted that the system can be abused and illegal voters can go undetected.

Democrats Pass Gun Grab

Democrats Pass Gun Grab

(Headline USA) Democratic Minnesota senators held firm despite only a one-vote majority Friday to pass gun control legislation.

The proposals include a red flag law. The provision is part of a broad public safety budget bill that also contains expanded background checks for gun transfers.

The bill passed 34-33 on a party-line vote late Friday after around nine hours of debate.

Some RINOs in state politics have also caved to the gun grab narrative.

GOP Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee wants to call a special session to pass what he has avoided calling a red flag law, calling it a “toxic political label.”

Two Republicans in a Texas legislative committee broke ranks to back raising the age for buying semi-automatic rifles from 18 to 21.

Some of Minnesota’s rural Democratic senators had also been on the fence, but they too betrayed the Second Amendment and their gun owning constituents. A key moment came Wednesday when one of them, Sen. Grant Hauschild of Hermantown, announced that he would support the overall bill.

The two gun measures were not part of the public safety budget bill that the Senate passed earlier. But they were added Wednesday in the House-Senate conference committee that negotiated the final version, providing some political cover to holdouts by wrapping them into a much bigger public safety package.

Senators from the Republican minority decried several non-firearms provisions that were added to the public safety bill in conference committee that weren’t in the original Senate-passed version of the bill.

Democrats who have a more comfortable majority in the Minnesota House scheduled the package for debate late Friday night on the presumption that the Senate would pass it first, but postponed the debate until Saturday. The House had already passed the gun measures as part of its original public safety bill. Democratic Gov. Tim Walz has repeatedly said he will sign the legislation.

GOP leaders objected to how the final version of the 522-page bill wasn’t posted until around 2:30 a.m. Friday. Members can vote only up or down on a conference committee report. They can’t amend it. And Republicans were upset at their voices being shut out of shaping the final version, which they oppose on Second Amendment and other grounds.

“This bill is actually what bad legislating looks like,” Republican House Minority Leader Lisa Demuth of Cold Spring said at a separate news conference. “Democrats have full control, but a very small margin.”

Boy Saves Sister From Kidnapping Using His Slingshot

(Headline USA) A Michigan girl was able to escape an attempted kidnapping when her brother used a slingshot to strike the would-be attacker, authorities said this week.

Mlive.com reports that the Michigan State Police arrested the accused assailant in the city of Alpena on Wednesday.

The 17-year-old assailant’s name has not been released.

He has been charged as an adult with one count of attempted kidnapping/child enticement, one count of attempted assault to do great bodily harm less than murder, and one count of assault and battery.

Michigan State Police said in a news release that the 8-year-old girl was in her backyard when the alleged assailant came out of the woods, grabbed her and covered her mouth.

Authorities said the girl’s brother, 13, hit the alleged attacker in the head and chest using a slingshot.

Police later arrested the 17-year-old based on another family member’s description of the suspect.

Authorities also said the teenager had visible wounds from the slingshot.

Black Americans Can’t Celebrate Mother’s Day Because Racism, Columnist Claim

Black Americans Can’t Celebrate Mother’s Day Because Racism, Columnist Claim

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) A middle school educator claims that Mother’s Day could be complicated for black mothers, including herself, due to racism.

Ivy Alphonse-Crean, the Director of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion at Dedham Country middle school, expressed her views about the alleged possibilities of her three-year-old children dying in a column for WBUR titled “I see you, Black mothers. Mother’s Day is complicated for me, too.” Alphonse-Crean claimed she herself constantly worries about dying at the hands of racism and said she gets a stomach “twist” when she hears the phrase Happy Mother’s Day.

“I see mothers like me, and I wonder if, when they hear ‘Happy Mother’s Day,’ they feel the same twist in their stomachs knowing that the word ‘mother’ encompasses so much joy, yes, but also worry and pain. As their children squeal on swings, I wave at the women. I see you, Black mother. I am vulnerable, too. I, too, strive to be a worry-free, happy, Black mother,” Alphonse-Crean said.

The column arrives in the wake of recent controversies related to woke corporations championing leftist virtue signaling by allowing their easily triggered customers to opt out of receiving messages ahead of the Mother’s Day celebration. DoorDash, Kay’s Jewelers and Levi’s were among the companies that cautioned against inadvertently offending their clientele, claiming Mother’s Day could be difficult for some.

Alphonse-Crean’s assertions aligned with those who apparently find difficulty in embracing the celebration of motherhood in Mother’s Day, claiming she is often fighting perpetual fear of lurking dangers her child faces.

“As a mother, I think about death all the time,” Alphonse-Crean added in the column, claiming she worries about “the hidden threats of daily life,” including electrical outlets and wet floors. Those threats, however, seem to increase for black parents. “But as a Black mother, the specter of death is even more present,” the columnist claimed.

Alphonse-Crean said she investigated the maternal mortality rates for black women and realized her life wasn’t a priority.

“The greater rates at which Black women died, and the horror stories about labor and delivery from Beyonce to Serena Williams, already told me that, institutionally, my life was not a priority,” she added.

The equity and inclusion administrator said she found refuge in reading updates on hate groups at the “Southern Poverty Law Center in those quiet morning moments when I used to read fashion blogs,” but claimed she was unable to stop thinking about her husband of child’s death and opted to prepare for the event.

“I prepared by thinking even more about death. I couldn’t stop thinking about how I might answer questions if called to a press conference about the death of my child or my husband. Because even when you are shot for no reason, you, your family, and your entire life is put on trial,” she continued.

Texas Border Counties Issue Disaster Declarations After Title 42’s End

Texas Border Counties Issue Disaster Declarations After Title 42’s End

(Bethany Blankley, The Center Square) Several South Texas counties issued disaster declarations as the public health authority Title 42 came to close.

The declarations were made as large groups of people, 15,000 Venezuelans and 15,000 Haitians, arrived in the Rio Grande Valley seeking entry to the U.S. An additional 23,000 are reportedly en route to Del Rio.

In the Rio Grande Valley, Hidalgo County Judge Richard Cortez issued a disaster declaration stating, “I received credible information from officials with Customs and Border Protection that large groups of migrants are probing our international border in search of crossing points.” He said he decided to declare an emergency “as a first step in securing all available resources.”

It follows a state disaster declaration issued by Gov. Greg Abbott on May 31, 2021, which followed the first disaster declaration filed by Kinney County on April 21, 2021. Roughly 30 counties issued disaster declarations in 2021, most of which are still in effect. Abbott amended the state disaster declaration on April 21, 2023, and also issued subsequent proclamations and executive orders over the border crisis.

Cortez issued the emergency citing a Mexican government estimate that roughly 10,000 people are camped directly across from the border county in Reynosa, Tamaulipas, Mexico, waiting to cross.

“A surge in migrant crossings is a significant public safety and security concern,” he said, “including but not limited to the risk of injury or loss of life and property.”

He also said he “determined that extraordinary measures must be taken to protect all people in and coming through the county.”

Neighboring Cameron County Judge Eddie Trevino also issued a disaster declaration “in response to the imminent threat of widespread or severe damage, injury, or loss of life or property resulting from the Border Security Disaster.”

His declaration cites the Texas declaration stating, “the surge of individuals unlawfully crossing the Texas-Mexico border posed an imminent threat of disaster for a number of Texas counties.”

He did so after the city of Brownsville issued a disaster declaration over a week ago and after 15,000 mostly Venezuelans illegally crossed into the U.S. in one week overwhelming Border Patrol in the last week of April.

Since then, RGV Sector Chief Gloria Chavez reported that agents encountered 8,078 illegal foreign nationals the first weekend in May, including 16 smuggling cases. The last weekend in April, they apprehended 6,371 people, including 10 smuggling cases. And this was before the public health authority Title 42 ended May 11.

By May 9, CBP was holding in custody over 27,000 foreign nationals who’d just illegally entered the RGV in Texas from Mexico, a Border Patrol agent stationed there told The Center Square.

“Of that 27,000, a little over 5,000 are processed waiting for their next phase in the process,” the agent said. “Every sector is near 150% capacity,” the agent said, referring to nine U.S. Customs and Border Protection sectors along the southwest border, five of which are in Texas.

Since then, on May 11, the agent told The Center Square that 15,000 Haitians were expected to breach the Anzalduas Bridge Port of Entry. The Army National Guard, Texas Department of Public Safety, Border Patrol and Office of Field Operations staff were all “staging” and processing had stopped. When asked what staging meant, the agent replied they were preparing for “violence.”

Further west, Del Rio is also bracing for impact. Its police department issued an alert on May 11 stating that apprehensions in one day increased from 800 to 1400, with 800 in custody. “Unconfirmed intel reports are stating that there are approximately 23,000 migrants possibly heading towards Del Rio, however, they are traveling in groups of 1,000 or less.”

These announcements came after the El Paso mayor declared a state of emergency as mostly single military age men remain homeless in its downtown streets and Texas DPS continues to combat cartel and gang-related crime stemming from the border.

Gov. Greg Abbott deployed the Texas National Guard to the RGV and El Paso, blaming President Joe Biden for creating the crisis.

He said Texas was “being overrun by our own federal government. Texas is being undermined by our own federal government and our efforts to secure our border. It’s only Joe Biden and his open border policies that’s hindered our ability to secure the border.”

Despite this, he said, “Texas is doing more than any other state in the United States of America to defend the southern border.”

Biden Calls ‘White Supremacy’ the ‘Most Dangerous Terrorist Threat’

Biden Calls ‘White Supremacy’ the ‘Most Dangerous Terrorist Threat’

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) President Joe Biden said Saturday that white supremacy was the “most dangerous terrorist threat” to the U.S. caused during his Saturday commencement speech at the historically black Howard University.

“The most dangerous terrorist threat to our homeland is white supremacy,” Biden claimed during the address Saturday. “I’m not saying this because I’m at a Black HBCU, I say it wherever I go.” 

In June 2021, Biden echoed a similar claim, saying white supremacists were the “most lethal threat” to the nation. In the span of three years, Biden has claimed that former President Donald Trump and the protestors at the January 6 riot were white supremacists. 

During his Howard speech, Biden doubled down with claims that white supremacy inspired Trump supporters to storm into the U.S. Capitol in 2021.

“January 2021, I stood in the U.S. Capitol to be inaugurated as president of the United States,” Biden continued. “Just days before, on that very spot, a violent insurrection took place. A dagger at the throat of democracy. For the first time in our history, an attempt to stop a peaceful transfer of power in this country. They failed. Our democracy held. Again hope prevailed.”

Biden’s controversial remarks were torched by several conservative commentators on Twitter, with Republican Party communications staffer Jake Schneider calling Biden “Divider-in-chief.”

“Divider-in-chief Joe Biden, at Howard University, says ‘the most dangerous terrorist threat to our homeland is white supremacy,’” Schneider said, also sharing the embattled Biden speech.

Renowned journalist and New York Post columnist Miranda Devine accused Biden of creating a distraction to avoid accountability over the border chaos amid the ending of the Trump-era health emergency policy Title 42.

“He’s creating a distraction,” Devine said on a Twitter post Saturday. “Clearly the biggest threat to America is what’s happening at the southern border since he took office. But he’d rather we talk about white supremacy. The NYT and WaPo will happily comply.”

Presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy called Biden’s marks “deranged” on a Saturday post

“Biden says the biggest threat to our homeland isn’t fentanyl. It isn’t China. It’s “white supremacy.” This is utterly deranged.”

Cruz Unleashes Fiery Wrath at Reporter’s Border Question: “Be Ashamed”

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) Sen. Ted Cruz engaged in a heated exchange Thursday with a Texas-based reporter, Derick Garcia, at the southern border. Garcia asked Cruz what has the Senator done to assist the Department of Homeland Security in addressing Biden’s border crisis, prompting the senator to swiftly dismiss the question as “ridiculous and silly.” 

“I want to commend you for being the media and telling a Democrat policy,” Cruz said before probing the reporter’s knowledge of illegal border crossings during the Trump administration. “Do you know anything? I asked you a question,” the senator continued. 

The senator criticized the reporter’s apparent alignment with the Democratic Party’s talking points and highlighted his role in attempting to exacerbate Biden’s border crisis. Cruz touted his support for border patrol, securing the border and implemented the Trump-era “Remain in Policy” policy, asserting that these measures successfully handled the border crisis. 

“The talking point of the Democrats, which this media reporter happily parrots, is ‘Gosh, the problem can’t be fixed.’ There’s one little problem with that and it is an utter and complete lie,” Cruz said, also citing how the Biden administration triggered border security chaos.  

“In 2020, the last year of the Trump presidency, we had the lowest rate of illegal immigration in 45 years,” Cruz continued. “You asked what I’ve done? I’ve championed the men and women of border patrol. I’ve championed securing the border. I’ve championed ‘remain in Mexico.’ And we turned this problem around and solved it.” 

Shortly after being sworn in as U.S. president in 2021, Biden called on the U.S. Congress to “restore humanity” in the immigration system, a move that many, including Cruz, believe triggered the mass flood of undocumented migrants. 

“We went from Joe Biden inherited the lowest rate of illegal immigration in 45 years, and the first day in office he made political decisions to cause this problem—and you should be ashamed of yourself because you’re a reporter and you’re not reporting facts.” 

Cruz’s slap down of the leftist talking point comes two days after the Trump-era Title 42 policy was lifted, which has effectively worsened the already-chaotic southern border will undocumented migrants flooding the U.S. under the belief that they will no longer be deported after May 11. 

Embattled Homeland Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas held a press conference last week where he warned potential migrants from entering the U.S., asserting that the southern border was not open. 

A DHS memo, however, appeared to contradict Mayorkas’s assertion. The memo, first obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation, mandated border facilities that reached 125 percent capacity to quickly release the apprehended migrants. 

The New York Post reported on May 11 that approximately 28,000 undocumented migrants were under DHS detention. 

Homeless Vets Kicked Out of Shelters to Accommodate Illegals

Homeless Vets Kicked Out of Shelters to Accommodate Illegals

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) Approximately 20 homeless U.S. veterans are being kicked out of New York hotel shelters to make space for an incoming flood of illegal immigrants. 

The hotels, which serve as homeless shelters, told the veterans, including a 24-year-old man in financial distress after serving in the Afghanistan war, that their temporary housing will be terminated in subsequent weeks and that they needed to move out, according to the non-profit that focuses on protecting struggling retired servicemen. 

Yerik Israel Toney Foundation CEO Sharon Toney-Finch told the New York Post that the vets are being misplaced because of a wave of migrants. “Our veterans have been placed in another hotel due to what’s going on with the immigrants,’’ said Toney-Finch in an interview with the New York Post.  

The pro-veteran activist said the group quickly mobilized to help the former servicemen. “One of the vets called me on Sunday. He told me he had to leave because the hotel said the extended stay is not available. Then I got another call. We didn’t waste any time,” Toney-Finch told the Post.

The activist also told the Post the alleged mistreatment of the veterans made her cry. “That’s when we started on Monday to organize when and where to move them all,” she added. “I am glad you called me today. Last night, I was crying.” 

Members of Congress express bipartisan outrage over unacceptable eviction notices sent to veterans.

Rep. Pat Ryan, D-N.Y., took to Twitter to condemn the city’s failure to protect the veterans, saying: “This is bullshit. 20 veterans lost their housing tonight because of incompetence by New York City government. I am doing everything I can to ensure these service members have a bed to sleep in tonight. Let me be clear. This will not be tolerated.”

Ryan’s slap down of the news was echoed by Rep. Marc Molinaro, R-N.Y., who said: “This is absolutely inexcusable and should not be happening in America.  This is the result of incompetence and a lack of compassion. This won’t be tolerated.”

Over 60,000 undocumented migrants have flooded New York City weeks before Title 42 ended on May 11. The policy, first enacted during the Trump administration at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, authorized border patrol agents to swiftly deport illegal migrants on health emergency grounds.
