Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott announced Wednesday the state will bus another 70,000 immigrants to Democrat-run cities around the nation amid the Biden administration&#8217;s ongoing crisis at the Southern Border.
&#8220;Texas will bus migrants to sanctuary cities until Biden secures the border,&#8221; Abbott <a href="https://twitter.com/GregAbbott_TX/status/1729935446979850451" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> on X. &#8220;Our mission provides vital relief to border towns.&#8221;
According to Abbott, the state intends to transport more than 12,500 migrants to Washington D.C., 25,000 to New York City, 20,000 to Chicago, 3,200 to Philadelphia, 7,400 to Denver, and over 1,000 to Los Angeles.
The governor&#8217;s move comes as floods of migrants crossing the southern border in recent months have led to a national crisis, of which border towns typically bear the brunt.
But under Abbott&#8217;s leadership, Texas reversed course last year by sending tens of thousands of migrants to so-called sanctuary cities run by Democrat officials — who were quick to voice criticism over the governor&#8217;s orders.
Cities like New York City and Chicago are <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bill-heading-to-texas-governors-desk-allows-arrests-deportations-of-illegal-migrants" target="_blank" rel="noopener">scrambling to metabolize</a> the thousands of migrants who have shown up since last year.
In New York City, more than 130,000 migrants have arrived since last year, many of whom are still being housed on the city&#8217;s dime, causing homeless shelters to reach their limits and forcing the city to open new facilities.
Chicago — the country&#8217;s third-largest city — has experienced an influx of more than 18,500 migrants recently, many from Venezuela.
Chicago is working to build massive winterized camps for newly arrived migrants, many of whom have slept on the floors of police stations or airports for months. The city has already spent at least $250 million on the issue.
Earlier this month, a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/border-patrol-chiefs-say-unprecedented-number-of-illegal-immigrants-entering-u-s" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> from House Republicans cited numbers from the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) and Yale University that showed between 16.8 million and 29 million illegal migrants currently living in the U.S.
The data indicates that about 3.8 million migrants have entered the country under President Biden&#8217;s watch, overwhelming U.S. Border Patrol authorities — who continue to sound the alarm over the historic number of illegal immigrants entering the country.
Border Patrol chiefs warned House lawmakers of the &#8220;unprecedented scope of this crisis&#8221; as at least 1.4 million illegal immigrants have reportedly been released into the U.S. in Fiscal Year 2023.
In September, Border Patrol officials recorded almost 270,000 migrant encounters near the southern border — marking a multiyear high, Axios <a href="https://www.axios.com/2023/11/28/texas-immigration-bill-sb-1070-mexico-border" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. More than 160,000 of those encounters occurred in Texas.
Texas Republicans recently sent Gov. Abbott SB4 — a bill that would authorize local police to handle immigration enforcement by making it a state misdemeanor to cross the Texas-Mexico border illegally. If passed, the bill also allows a judge to order immigrants to return to Mexico.
&#8220;S.B. 4 is the strongest border security bill Texas has ever passed,&#8221; Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, a Republican, said in a <a href="https://www.ltgov.texas.gov/2023/11/15/lt-gov-dan-patrick-statement-on-the-houses-passage-of-senate-bill-4-state-authority-to-enforce-the-border/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a>.
&#8220;The illegal crosser can be jailed or ordered by a magistrate to be returned to the border,&#8221; Patrick added. &#8220;If they violate the order and return to Texas, they will face even harsher penalties.&#8221;
Abbott is reportedly expected to sign the bill in the near future.

As she <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/mtg-plans-another-mayorkas-impeachment-effort-after-thanksgiving" target="_blank" rel="noopener">vowed</a> to do, Rep. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/marjorie-taylor-greene" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Marjorie Taylor Greene</a> (R-GA) renewed a push to impeach Homeland Security Secretary <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/alejandro-mayorkas" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alejandro Mayorkas</a> after the House returned from the Thanksgiving break.
The congresswoman, who often is referred to as &#8220;MTG,&#8221; returned to the House floor on Wednesday and announced a new resolution, accusing Mayorkas of &#8220;high crimes and misdemeanors&#8221; over his handling of border security.
&#8220;Today, I reintroduced my articles of impeachment against Secretary Mayorkas because impeachment is EXACTLY what the founders intended for the House to do when a member of the executive branch intentionally violates the laws written by the legislative branch,&#8221; Greene <a href="https://twitter.com/RepMTG/status/1729922981772533781" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said in a post to X</a>.
Eight Republicans <a href="https://twitter.com/Acyn/status/1724226153794416723" target="_blank" rel="noopener">joined</a> with all voting Democrats earlier this month to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-deflects-mtgs-mayorkas-impeachment-resolution-to-committee" target="_blank" rel="noopener">approve a motion</a> that kicked Greene&#8217;s previous <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/impeachment" target="_blank" rel="noopener">impeachment</a> resolution to the House Homeland Security Committee, which is already investigating Mayorkas for <a href="https://homeland.house.gov/2023/06/08/chairman-green-announces-comprehensive-investigation-full-committee-hearing-to-examine-secretary-mayorkas-dereliction-of-duty/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">alleged dereliction of duty</a> in a probe that <a href="https://homeland.house.gov/2023/06/20/what-they-are-saying-homeland-republicans-launch-mayorkas-investigation-with-preliminary-report-full-committee-hearing/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">could lead to</a> impeachment proceedings in the future.
In defending Mayorkas, the Department of Homeland Security has derided what a spokesperson called &#8220;reckless impeachment charades&#8221; by congressional Republicans. Asked in a recent <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/videos/2023-11-27/mayorkas-people-need-more-legal-pathways-to-us-video" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bloomberg interview</a> whether the impeachment effort has changed his strategy, <a href="https://twitter.com/RNCResearch/status/1729327859531911420" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mayorkas shook his head and said</a>, &#8220;I am busy at work and incredibly proud to support and work alongside the 260,000 people at the Department of Homeland Security.&#8221;
Some of the GOP holdouts have indicated a desire to see Mayorkas impeached, but stressed they want to proceed in a way that is <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/why-mtgs-impeachment-of-mayorkas-hit-a-regular-order-roadblock" target="_blank" rel="noopener">not rushed</a> and ensures a conviction in the Senate — a high bar at the moment as the upper chamber is controlled by the Democrats who are generally aligned with the White House.
Rep. Tom McClintock (R-CA), who was one of the eight, delivered a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7i4sU5aN0Y" target="_blank" rel="noopener">speech</a> on Wednesday warning Republicans against embracing a &#8220;new definition&#8221; of impeachment after Democrats ran their &#8220;sham impeachments&#8221; against former President Donald Trump.

&#8220;Many are demanding Mayorkas’ impeachment for ‘failing to maintain operational control of the border,’ as Congresswoman Greene’s resolution puts it. Well, he’s certainly guilty of that, and a whole lot more: maladministration, malfeasance, and neglect of duties on a truly cosmic scale. But these are not impeachable offenses,” he said.
McClintock added later, &#8220;By failing to abide by due process and Constitutional constraints, Ms. Greene is tainting this serious impeachment inquiry with a shoot-from-the-hip stunt that is reckless, partisan, and manifestly unserious.&#8221;
Greene, who has argued that sending her impeachment articles to committee would effectively &#8220;kill&#8221; the effort, shot back at McClintock by name in her post to X and insisted the American people &#8220;want action&#8221; on impeachment.
&#8220;These members whine about &#8216;due process&#8217; while protecting Mayorkas from facing accountability for his violation of our border security laws,&#8221; Greene said. &#8220;Impeachment IS due process. It would put Mayorkas in front of the Senate to face trial. We’ve seen the evidence of him breaking the law. It’s time for the Senate to try him for it.&#8221;

In Senate floor remarks on Monday, McConnell delivered a retort of sorts to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/u-s-senate" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Senate</a> Majority Leader <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/chuck-schumer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chuck Schumer</a> (D-NY) after the New York Democrat issued a warning to <a href="https://apnews.com/article/mike-johnson-israel-ukraine-immigration-gop-agenda-e4054f12f83cfaa09044aa3d087396a8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Republicans</a> who hope to link national security funds to U.S. border security reforms.
&#8220;Unfortunately, Senate Democrats have already suggested they want to condition urgent resources for one of our top security priorities on not addressing another one,&#8221; <a href="https://www.mcconnell.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/pressreleases?ID=3F6F54EC-DE8D-45CF-A37E-18C8C674E862" target="_blank" rel="noopener">McConnell said</a>. &#8220;Apparently, our colleagues are considering putting support for Israel on the chopping block unless we promise not to fix the border crisis they helped create.&#8221;
McConnell added that &#8220;this sort of cynical, short-sighted politics has denied the American people real border security too many times&#8221; and emphasized that he believes the &#8220;challenges facing America are connected. And the time to address them — each of them — is now.&#8221;
After rejecting a House bill to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-gop-proposes-israel-aid-offset-by-irs-budget-cuts" target="_blank" rel="noopener">offset $14.3 billion</a> in aid for <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/israel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Israel</a> in its war with Hamas by slashing the same amount of funds meant for the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/internal-revenue-service-irs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Internal Revenue Service (IRS)</a>, Schumer <a href="https://www.democrats.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/dear_colleague_112623.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> on Sunday that he aims to have the Senate consider President Joe Biden&#8217;s request for <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/us/whats-bidens-106-billion-supplemental-funding-request-2023-10-20/#:~:text=Oct%2020(Reuters)%20%2D%20U.S.,Indo%2DPacific%20and%20border%20enforcement." target="_blank" rel="noopener">roughly $106 billion</a> in <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2023/10/20/fact-sheet-white-house-calls-on-congress-to-advance-critical-national-security-priorities/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">funds for Israel, Ukraine</a>, Taiwan, border security, and more &#8220;as soon as the week of December 4th.&#8221;
The &#8220;biggest holdup&#8221; to the supplemental national security package, Schumer argued, is the &#8220;insistence&#8221; by <a href="https://apnews.com/article/mike-johnson-israel-ukraine-immigration-gop-agenda-e4054f12f83cfaa09044aa3d087396a8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Republicans</a> to link aid to Ukraine, which is fighting against Russian invaders, to &#8220;partisan&#8221; U.S. border security policy.
&#8220;This has injected a decades old, hyper-partisan issue into overwhelmingly bipartisan priorities,&#8221; Schumer said. &#8220;Democrats stand ready to work on common-sense solutions to address immigration, but purely partisan hard-right demands, like those in H.R. 2, jeopardize the entire national security supplemental package.&#8221;
In the House, Speaker <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/mike-johnson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mike Johnson</a> (R-LA) has signaled openness to funding national security concerns raised by the Biden administration, including <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/mccarthy-denies-zelensky-opportunity-to-address-joint-session-of-congress" target="_blank" rel="noopener">more money</a> for the Ukraine defense effort, as long as <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/house/4329407-speaker-johnson-says-hes-confident-ukraine-israel-aid-will-pass-house/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">border security is also addressed</a>.
Meanwhile, Senate Republicans <a href="https://www.judiciary.senate.gov/press/rep/releases/senate-republicans-unveil-solutions-for-southern-border-crisis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">have said</a> they are drawing elements from H.R. 2, which the GOP-led House <a href="https://www.democrats.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/dear_colleague_112623.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">passed earlier this year</a>, to develop a proposal that includes bumping up pay for border agents, resuming <a href="https://www.judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/senate_republican_working_group_one_pager.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">construction of a border wall</a>, asylum reform, and parole reform.
McConnell thanked his GOP colleagues for their efforts and touted how Senate Republicans &#8220;have been laser-focused on actually fixing our broken asylum process, not just pouring more money into a system that’s simply not working.&#8221;
&#8220;Our Democratic colleagues would do well to take these efforts seriously,&#8221; McConnell said. “The bottom line is simple: We don’t have the luxury of addressing glaring threats to our national security one at a time. Crises don’t solve themselves just because Washington can’t muster the political will to address them.&#8221;

Border Patrol chiefs told lawmakers that they are seeing an historic number of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/illegal-immigration" target="_blank" rel="noopener">illegal immigrants</a> released into the U.S. as encounters reach record highs, according to interviews released on Sunday.
Transcripts of <a href="https://mailchi.mp/chsrep/chairman-green-welcomes-new-members-to-committee-on-homeland-security-for-118th-congress-1737631?e=41ec78a261" target="_blank" rel="noopener">depositions</a> with <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/border-patrol" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sector chiefs</a> were released by the House Homeland Security Committee that show the drastic influx of illegal migrants under President Joe Biden as lawmakers continue to call on the administration to secure the border. 
“We spoke with some of the most senior and experienced leaders in the U.S. Border Patrol and they clearly recognize the unprecedented scope of this crisis. Their stunning testimony further informs the Committee’s oversight work and emphasizes why we must hold Secretary Mayorkas and President Biden accountable for intentionally facilitating the worst border crisis in our history,” Rep. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/mark-green" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mark Green</a> (R-TN) said. 
Former Del Rio Sector chief and current Border Patrol Chief Jason Owens told lawmakers earlier this year that the amount of people detained and released into the U.S. at the border currently exceeds anything he has seen in the past. At least 1.4 million illegal immigrants have <a href="https://cis.org/Arthur/Biden-Funneled-Nearly-14-Million-Illegal-Aliens-US-FY-2023-Alone" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly</a> been released into the U.S. in Fiscal Year 2023.
Dustin Caudle, the deputy chief Border Patrol agent for the Yuma Sector, told lawmakers that although spikes of crossings were not unprecedented, the number of people crossing the border was the most he had ever seen.
“The volume that we’re seeing recently, in my opinion, in my career when I’ve seen is what I would consider unprecedented,” he said. 
John Modlin, chief of the Tucson Sector, said it was “troublesome” and &#8220;demoralizing” that the number of crossings in his area had progressively increased from 2020 into 2023. 
“And then, thinking it couldn’t go higher, it then went to 250,000 [2022] last year, and that did not include the 55,000 that we took from Yuma to help them out and the 170,000 gotaways recorded last year in that as well. And this year we’re on pace to probably hit 300,000. So if that’s the case, then we’ll be five times what we did just in 2020,” he estimated during his interview with lawmakers earlier this year.

Green pinned the influx of unlawful crossings on the policies of the Biden administration.
“As the testimony of these leaders makes it clear, this is a policy-driven crisis, sparked almost overnight by an administration bent on ending effective border security policies and replacing them with mass catch-and-release. The numbers show the failure of that agenda. Make no mistake, I will not stand idly by as our men and women in green suffer the consequences of this administration’s refusal to enforce the laws passed by Congress,” Green said. 
House Republicans have considered impeaching Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas but have yet to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/mtg-plans-another-mayorkas-impeachment-effort-after-thanksgiving" target="_blank" rel="noopener">move forward</a> with the proceedings.

Border Patrol Chiefs Say ‘Unprecedented’ Number Of Illegal Immigrants Entering U.S.

Border

The Biden administration&#8217;s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is instructing Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) agents to ask immigrants they encounter for their “preferred pronouns” and to use gender-neutral language while on the job.
The guidance, obtained by the Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project and titled “Guide to Facilitating Effective Communication with Individuals who Identify as LGBTQI+,” also tells CBP agents to avoid using certain terms.
“This job aid provides guidance to all CBP employees who interact with the public … including individuals who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning, intersex, nonbinary, and gender nonconforming,” the document reads. “This guidance should be used by all CBP employees who encounter members of the public.”
The agency goes on to demand that Customs and Border Patrol agents do not use “‘he, him,’ ‘she her’ pronouns until you have more information about, or provided by, the individual.” CBP agents are also instructed to not use words like “Mr,” “Mrs,” “sir” or “ma&#8217;am.”

“Keep in mind that gender identity (sense of self) and sexual orientation (attraction) are separate and distinct; hence, transgender people, for example, may identify as heterosexual, gay, lesbian, or bisexual,” the document also reads. “The terms and definitions in this job guide are not universal. Some LGBTQI+ individuals may define these terms differently.”
The Department of Homeland Security’s insistence on the adoption of new terminology comes amid a historic crisis on the southern border. An estimated <a href="https://cis.org/Arthur/Blockbuster-House-Report-Reveals-How-Badly-Bidens-Broken-Our-Immigration-System">1.7 million illegal immigrant gotaways</a> have made their way into the United States since President Joe Biden took office.
Rep. Mark Green (R-TN), Chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security, says the guidance is an insult to agents begging for more resources to combat the illegal immigration crisis at the border.
&#8220;Border Patrol agents are crying out for tools and policies that will help them do their jobs, but are being handed manuals on misgendering instead,&#8221; Green told The Daily Wire. &#8220;This makes a mockery of those who are doing their best to keep our borders secure.&#8221;
&#8220;In the last few weeks, we’ve seen multiple reports of criminal illegal aliens who have been released into our country on Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas’ watch, as well as the apprehension of a record number of individuals on the terrorist watchlist — in large part because our Border Patrol agents are so overwhelmed by this unprecedented crisis,&#8221; Green added. &#8220;I’m sure, however, Americans will be comforted to know that those agents are now being trained on which pronouns these bad actors prefer.&#8221;
The guidance comes just days after The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/federal-contractor-urges-dhs-to-ditch-term-illegal-immigrant-says-jihadist-is-racially-charged">revealed</a> the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Civil Rights and Civil Liberties commissioned a report from the RAND Corporation that urged the DHS to ditch language that was deemed offensive.
The report suggested that the DHS should modify its use of the words “male” and “female” by adding the terms “nonbinary,” “cisgender,” and “transgender.”
The Rand Corporation’s report also argued that terms like “illegal immigrant” and “unlawful entry” should be replaced with “undocumented noncitizen” and “entry without inspection” or “undocumented entry.” Other terms, like “jihadist,” “looter,” “rioter,” and “trespasser,” were said to be “racially charged.”
Green called the RAND Corporation’s report a “deceitful and Orwellian strategy,” also charging that it is “a ploy to hide Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas’ complete failure of leadership.”
He went on to say that Mayorkas “has not only chosen to implement a reckless open-borders agenda — he is using taxpayer dollars to change our language in an effort to hide the consequences of those policies.”

Biden’s DHS Orders Border Agents To Use Preferred Pronouns For Illegal Immigrants

President Joe Biden claimed on Tuesday that he and his administration were doing &#8220;everything&#8221; they could to stem the flow of fentanyl into and throughout the United States, but critics did not appear to be buying it.
Biden&#8217;s comments came just days after his meeting in San Francisco with Chinese leader Xi Jinping — during which Biden said the two had come to a consensus about stopping the fentanyl that has been coming into the United States from China.
&#8220;Deaths from fentanyl are an American tragedy that requires global action. I’m committed to doing everything I can to control this crisis – from expanding prevention, harm reduction, treatment, and recovery, to working with Chinese, Mexican, and Canadian partners to tackle this,&#8221; he said in a post to X.

After announcing <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/eric-adams-cuts-police-education-budgets-to-deal-with-ongoing-illegal-immigration-crisis-pounding-nyc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">major budget cuts</a> to the city’s police force and Education Department last week, New York City Democratic Mayor Eric Adams blamed the federal government for leaving him with no choice but to strip money away from New Yorkers to deal with the illegal immigration crisis. 
Adams’ $4 billion budget cuts will freeze police hiring, dropping the number of NYPD officers to below 30,000, and will slash the city’s Education Department budget by more than $1 billion over the next two years, affecting school programs and libraries. The mayor said Monday that the budget cuts are a direct result of the Biden administration’s inaction on the migrant crisis rocking New York, POLITICO <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2023/11/20/new-york-eric-adams-budget-00128222" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. 
“D.C. has abandoned us, and they need to be paying their cost to this national problem,” Adams said at a Brooklyn town hall. 
“I tell people all the time when they stop me on the subway system, ‘Don’t yell at me, yell at D.C.,’” he added. “We deserve better as a city.”

The Big Apple has been inundated with illegal immigrants who were bused to the city after crossing the southern border over the past two years. More than 130,000 illegal immigrants have overwhelmed city shelters since last year, and the influx shows no signs of stopping. Adams warned last month that the surge is “not sustainable” as the city currently takes in up to 4,000 migrants a week, up from 2,400 people, according to Adams. 
Along with cuts to police and education spending, city officials confirmed Monday that they would look to cut “asylum-seeker” expenses by 20%. The immigration crisis has come with a significant price tag for the city, which is projected to spend $12 billion providing food and shelter for illegal immigrants through the 2025 fiscal year, according to city officials. Adams has repeatedly clashed with the Biden administration on the issue, calling for the president and Homeland Security Secretary to do more to stop the flow of illegal immigration at the southern border and provide assistance to New York City. 
“No city should be left to handle a national humanitarian crisis largely on its own, and without the significant and timely support we need from Washington, D.C. Today’s budget will be only the beginning,” Adams said when announcing the budget cuts last week.
The mayor has met with Biden administration officials multiple times to discuss the ongoing border crisis and its impact on New York City, but the talks have so far failed to move the federal government to take any significant steps on the issue.

Last month, Adams was en route to D.C. to meet with the Biden administration once more, but he canceled his plans after being informed that the FBI was investigating his campaign. Days later, Adams’ cell phones were confiscated by federal agents amid the probe into allegations that the mayor’s 2021 campaign conspired with the Turkish government.

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Turner (R-OH) said over the weekend that the terrorist threat to the U.S. is the highest that it&#8217;s been in over a decade following Hamas&#8217; attack on Israel last month.
Turner made the remarks during a Sunday CBS News interview with Margaret Brennan on &#8220;Face the Nation&#8221; while discussing FBI Director Christopher Wray&#8217;s recent testimony to Congress about how foreign terror groups like Al Qaeda are calling for terrorist attacks against the U.S.
&#8220;This is very, very unusual for the FBI director to so publicly make these statements,&#8221; he said. &#8220;And, certainly, in his conversations with the Intelligence Committee, they&#8217;ve been on an unclassified basis. So we have the ability to talk about it. It certainly shows the extent to which these threats are troubling the director.&#8221;
&#8220;And what he&#8217;s indicated specifically is that, more than a decade, the increase in terrorist threats to the United States inside the United States is at its highest ever,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;And he cites the – the chaotic withdrawal of Afghanistan and our loss of intelligence gathering there. He cites the Southern border and individuals who are allied with international terrorist organizations that have crossed the border.&#8221;
Turner said that Congress needed to pass more funding for securing the U.S. border and that there needed to be real policy changes made in an overhaul of the U.S. immigration system.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott endorsed former President Donald Trump for a second term as president on Sunday during a campaign event in Edinburg, a city about 30 miles away from the Mexico border.
&#8220;We need a president who is going to secure the border,&#8221; Abbott said. &#8220;We need a president who is going to restore law and order in the United States of America, not letting these criminals run ransack over the stores that you see images of almost nightly.&#8221;
&#8220;We need a president who is going to restore world peace, as opposed to this outbreak of warfare under Joe Biden. We need Donald J. Trump back as our President of the United States of America. I&#8217;m here to officially proclaim my endorsement for Donald J. Trump to be President of the United States of America again!&#8221;
Trump said that it was a &#8220;tremendous honor&#8221; to get Abbott&#8217;s endorsement while speaking to an audience of a few hundred supporters.
Trump again suggested during the rally that he would build the border wall if elected, saying that he would make Abbott&#8217;s job &#8220;much easier&#8221; because &#8220;walls work.&#8221;
Abbott reiterated some of his comments from his endorsement of Trump in a post on X Sunday afternoon.
&#8220;Today, I am proud to endorse Donald J. Trump for President,&#8221; Abbott wrote. &#8220;Now more than ever, America needs a President who will secure the border and prioritize national security. President Trump is the clear choice to get the job done.&#8221;

New York City Democratic Mayor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/eric-adams" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Eric Adams</a> announced Thursday that his administration would be making significant cuts affecting NYPD and Education Department budgets, saying the cuts are necessary to deal with the ongoing illegal immigration crisis.
Adams’ budget cuts will freeze police hiring, dropping the number of NYPD officers to below 30,000, The New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/16/nyregion/nyc-budget-cuts-schools-police-trash.html">reported</a>. The budget cuts will also slash the city’s Education Department budget by more than $1 billion over the next two years, affecting school programs and libraries.
“No city should be left to handle a national humanitarian crisis largely on its own, and without the significant and timely support we need from Washington, D.C. Today’s budget will be only the beginning,” Adams said.
The move comes two days after Adams warned in a press conference that budget cuts to help deal with the illegal immigration crisis would be “extremely painful for New Yorkers,” adding, “In all my time in government, this is probably one of the most painful exercises I’ve gone through.”
The cuts to the NYPD come just a month after Adams <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/nyc-mayor-says-city-needs-more-cops-with-force-down-more-than-2000-officers">said</a> the Big Apple needs more police officers as the city faces a rise in felony and misdemeanor assaults and car thefts.
Leftist Democrats slammed Adams for cutting funding for programs such as summer school and universal kindergarten.
“Mayor Adams’s unnecessary, dangerous and draconian budget cuts will only worsen New York’s affordability crisis and delay our city’s economic recovery by cutting funding for the schools, child care, food assistance and more that help New Yorkers live and raise families in this city,” said Lincoln Restler, a chair of the City Council’s progressive caucus, according to the Times.
New York City, which has a budget of $110 billion, is <a href="https://ny1.com/nyc/all-boroughs/politics/2023/08/09/city-on-track-to-spend--12-billion-on-migrants-without-federal--state-intervention">projected</a> to spend $12 billion providing food and shelter for illegal immigrants through the 2025 fiscal year, according to city officials. More than <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/migrant-encounters-at-border-last-month-mark-highest-october-on-record">130,000</a> illegal immigrants have arrived in the city since last year as Adams has repeatedly asked the Biden administration to better enforce immigration laws at the border and help the Big Apple provide assistance to the illegal immigrants who have made it to the city.
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/black-friday-gift-guide" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE BLACK FRIDAY SHOPPING GUIDE</a>
Last month, the mayor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/new-york-mayor-eric-adams-illegal-immigration-is-not-sustainable-cities-are-overwhelmed">warned</a> that the number of illegal immigrants being bused to major cities after crossing the border is “not sustainable.” Adams added that the number of illegal immigrants arriving in New York City on a weekly basis was up from 2,400 people to 4,000 people.
Adams was on his way to Washington, D.C., to meet with the Biden administration and discuss the ongoing border crisis earlier this month when he was forced to cancel his plans after being informed that his campaign was being <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/fbi-seizes-eric-adams-phones-amid-federal-corruption-investigation">investigated</a> by the FBI. Days later, Adams’ cell phones were confiscated by federal agents amid the probe into allegations that the mayor’s 2021 campaign conspired with the Turkish government.

Eric Adams Cuts Police, Education Budgets To Deal With Ongoing Illegal Immigration Crisis Pounding NYC

A bill currently heading to Governor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/greg-abbott" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Greg Abbott&#8217;s</a> (R) desk would allow Texas to arrest and deport certain illegal migrants.
The bill, Senate Bill 4, would authorize all police in Texas to arrest migrants suspected of crossing the border illegally. The bill makes entering the country illegally a new state misdemeanor punishable by up to two years.
A judge could then order migrants who were arrested to be deported.
The Texas House <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/International/texas-house-considers-bill-authorizes-officers-arrest-migrants/story?id=104857797" target="_blank" rel="noopener">approved</a> the bill Tuesday evening.
Abbott is expected to sign the bill, which would be one of the nation&#8217;s strictest immigration laws if it goes into effect.
The bill would apply only to recent migrant arrivals, not residents who have lived in the U.S. for more than two years, according to state Representative David Spiller (R), one of the Republicans who supports the bill.
Also, arresting officers would need evidence that a migrant had entered the country illegally, so the law would be “almost impossible&#8221; to enforce in the more northern parts of Texas, Steven McCraw, the director of the Texas Department of Public Safety, said.
“It’d be a stretch,” McCraw <a href="https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/texas-news/texas-wants-the-power-to-arrest-and-order-migrants-to-leave-the-us-can-it-do-that/3388163/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> lawmakers.

State Democrats accused Republicans who supported the bill of being &#8220;racist.&#8221;
&#8220;It’s not all right to be racist. I will stop pulling the race card when you stop being racist,&#8221; state Representative Jolanda Jones (D) said Tuesday before the House vote approving the bill.
The floods of migrants crossing the southern border in recent months has led to a crisis up north.
Cities like New York City and Chicago are scrambling to metabolize the thousands of migrants who have shown up since last year.
In New York City, <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2023/10/26/migrants-nyc-plane-rides-00123778" target="_blank" rel="noopener">more than</a> 130,000 migrants have arrived since last year, many of whom are still being housed on the city’s dime, causing homeless shelters to reach their limits and forcing the city to open new facilities.
Mayor Eric Adams <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/09/nyregion/adams-nyc-migrants-cost.html#:~:text=374-,Mayor%20Adams%20Says%20Migrant%20Influx%20Will%20Cost%20New%20York%20City,them%20and%20provide%20other%20services." target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> over the summer that the migrant crisis could cost New York City $12 billion over three years.
Chicago has been scrambling to respond to an illegal migrant crisis before the cold winter months arrive. The country’s third-largest city has <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/09/08/us/politics/gop-migrants-blue-cities.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">experienced</a> an influx of more than 18,500 migrants recently, many from Venezuela.
Chicago is working to build massive winterized camps for newly arrived migrants, many of whom slept on the floors of police stations or airports for months. The city has already spent <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/chicago-airport-now-sheltering-hundreds-of-illegal-migrants-as-city-waits-on-tents" target="_blank" rel="noopener">at least</a> $250 million on the issue so far.
There are currently between 16.8 million and 29 million illegal migrants living in the country, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/migrant-crisis-could-cost-taxpayers-451-billion-house-gop-report-says">according</a> to a report this week from House Republicans that cited numbers from the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) and Yale University.
About 3.8 million of those migrants have entered the country under the Biden administration, the data indicates.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/illegal-immigration" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Migrant</a> encounters at the southern border set a new record last month with more than 240,000 people encountered, officials announced Tuesday.
Border authorities <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/migrant-encounters-at-southern-border-set-new-record-for-october-data" target="_blank" rel="noopener">encountered</a> 240,988 migrants at the border last month, <a href="https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/stats/southwest-land-border-encounters" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to Customs and Border Protection (CBP), making it the highest October on record.
In October last year, authorities encountered 231,529 migrants, more than 9,000 fewer people than this year.
In October 2021, they encountered 164,837 migrants, and in October 2020, there were only 71,929 encounters.
Last month&#8217;s number marks a drop from September, which saw the highest monthly total of encounters ever at 269,735 encounters.
Overall, there have been a record 2.4 million migrant encounters at the southern border since last October.
Border Patrol agents also <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/migrant-encounters-at-southern-border-set-new-record-for-october-data" target="_blank" rel="noopener">arrested</a> 13 people on the terror watchlist in October.
The higher numbers of border encounters with migrants claiming asylum in the U.S. has resulted in a crisis up north as migrants head into the interior of the country.
