I am still trying to understand why folks are leaving the socialist paradise.  Is Bernie and AOC going with them?  Was Commander also deported?

Mayor Adams in Mexico:  'Mi casa es su casa'

 

[...] How dumb are these people?  If your goal is to try to limit the illegal migrants showing up at the border, why would you go to Mexico and say "Mi casa es su casa?"  Isn't that exactly the wrong message?  [...]

Denver to Texas:  Hey, can you divert illegal aliens away from our city?

 

City and county officials in Denver would like Texas border towns to distribute flyers to dissuade illegal aliens from traveling to Denver after they cross the U.S.-Mexico border.  Denver officials request that the flyers (published in both English and Spanish) explain that the city is out of resources to provide services for them.  [...]

Texas Senate moves border bill that allows state police to arrest migrants at U.S.-Mexico border

 

The Senate advanced two immigration-related bills on Thursday evening, one of which would allow state police to arrest migrants who cross the southern border.

Senate Bill 11, sponsored by state Sen. Brian Birdwell, R-Granbury, would create a new state crime for illegally entering Texas from Mexico and authorize state police to arrest violators.  A first-time offender could be convicted of a misdemeanor, but the penalty would jump to a felony if the person has a criminal record and has repeatedly entered the country illegally.  [...]

Note the crimes committed by illegal Venezolanos.  The professional Venezolanos are largely already in the U.S. (via tourist visas) and have applied for asylum.  These are the others.

El Paso Mayor Sends 178 Buses of Illegal Aliens to Sanctuary Cities But Not a Peep From Critics

 

El Paso Mayor Oscar Leeser escapes the critical rhetoric that is thrown at Governor Greg Abbott over sending migrant buses to sanctuary cities.  Why is that?

 

Is it because Leeser is a Democrat and Governor Abbott is a Republican  Probably.  [...]

Did NYC Actually Try Something With the Migrant Shelters That Worked?

 

[...] this revelation tells us something else that many of us already suspected.  All of those people who found a bed with contacts they had in the city could have stayed out of the shelters to begin with.  They only went that route when they were forced out.  And that should have already been obvious.  [...]

More than 14,000 asylum seekers were sent to San Diego. Local support systems were overwhelmed

Cash-strapped NGOs and legal aid groups are jumping in to help migrants figure out next steps as California cut funding

 

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/oct/19/california-asylum-seekers-san-diego-budget-cuts

 

Several non-profit organizations have set up at the Iris Avenue transit center to welcome the asylum seekers – people from west African countries, India, Turkey, Colombia, Venezuela, Russia, Uzbekistan, China and Vietnam.

 

Elouhhab lived in Mexico for six years, where he drove for Uber and worked at a plastics factory. He left Mexico because it had become too dangerous, he said. He himself arrived at the transit center weeks ago and has stayed to help other migrants getting out of detention.

 

“What I’m seeing is people who are middle class, upper middle class, have the resources to get here, have the resources for plane tickets and hotels, and are fleeing persecution in some cases, in other cases it’s economic migration. But by and large they are asking me like, how do I get a job? How do I get my work permit? And they are turning themselves into border patrol. This isn’t people who are trying to evade capture.”

 

Legal migration routes to the US right now are “extremely limited”, Pinheiro explained. While US law in theory permits people to cross at a port of entry and apply for asylum, in practice applications are limited by the requirement migrants use the CBP One to apply and book an appointment. “You can probably count on two hands how many people speak Spanish, Haitian Creole or English, which are the three languages supported by the CBP One app,” Pinheiro said. “And unless you can make an appointment on the government app, you are turned away from the port of entry.” Migrants end up crossing the border elsewhere and being detained by border patrol at the detention sites at the border wall, she said

 

Quite interesting, more so the source as this is not what they usually peddle.

CBP Releases September Monthly Update - Highest Ever Number of Illegal Border Crossings
