Vermont Democrat Congresswoman Becca Balint, the state’s first female and openly gay member of Congress, slammed the Trump administration’s actions toward immigrants while declaring that if immigration is decreased, “We’re not gonna have anybody around to wipe our a**es.”
Speaking at a town hall in Newport, Vermont, Balint launched into a diatribe in which she posited that there weren’t enough people in America &#8220;to fill the jobs we have right now.&#8221;
“We all know our AG system in Vermont would collapse without migrant labor; that’s just a reality. That’s the reality,” she began. “We know our economy is completely bound up in immigration and migrant labor, and of course, we have to come to a place in Congress where it is no longer a political issue but we see it as an existential issue for the country. If we don’t have avenues for people to come here legally to work or to build a home here — I’m gonna be really crude right now, we’re not gonna have anybody around to wipe our a**es, because we don’t have enough people in our country now to fill the jobs that we have right now.”
“But we have to make sure those folks are getting a decent wage and making sure that their rights are protected,” she continued, then offering a bone to those who want secure borders, saying, “And we also have to make sure that we have an adult conversation in Congress about the give and take and how this works, because it is not a xenophobic or racist thing for people to say they want to know our borders are secure. That alone is not.”

Then she segued to attacking the Trump administration: “What falls apart is how policies are enacted, and right now, we have a fair amount of lawlessness that is happening among ICE and Homeland Security that was not anything, I think, that most voters wanted. What they wanted was to know there was a secure border, that there would be pathways to citizenship, and rules would be the same for everybody. The problem is right now people are following the rules, and every step of the way and they are still being carted off and kidnapped and not being allowed to have access to their attorneys.”

Balint told <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/dem-lambasted-saying-were-not-going-have-anyone-around-wipe-more-immigration">Fox News</a> of President Trump: “He has made immigrants, regardless of status, feel unsafe and targeted all around the country. As Vermonters, we’re so proud that we are seen as a safe place to land. I’m unwavering in my position that immigrants and refugees are welcome in Vermont and that every worker in every job deserves dignity and fair wages — from doctors and scientists to carpenters and farmworkers. &#8230; I’ve relentlessly condemned the Trump administration’s cruel practices targeting and separating immigrant families, and I will continue to stand up for the rights of every person in this country.”

We&#8217;re at the point where pretty much every square-inch of the Shiloh Hendrix racial slur controversy has been debated and overanalyzed ad nauseam. It&#8217;s an n-bomb that, we&#8217;re told, rivals the destructive power of anything we dropped on Hiroshima or Nagasaki. But despite all of the coverage, probably the single most important aspect of the story — which is how exactly Minnesota woman Shiloh Hendrix ended up in a playground with two individuals &#8220;of Somali heritage&#8221; in the first place — still hasn&#8217;t been widely discussed. And that&#8217;s too bad, because that&#8217;s the part of the story that elevates it beyond a discussion about Shiloh Hendrix and language policing. It&#8217;s a question that has significant relevance to every American citizen. So it&#8217;s worth asking: Why exactly were those two individuals 8,000 miles away from Somalia?  And what are so many Somalis doing in this country, and in particular in Minnesota?
We&#8217;ll start with the specific location of this now-infamous incident, the city of Rochester. Rochester is the third-most populous city in the state of Minnesota. It originated as a humble stagecoach stop for travellers between St. Paul and Iowa before a part-time farmer and surgeon named William Mayo put the town on the map. During the Civil War, Mayo (who was born in England) moved to Rochester and began examining draftees to the Union army. Within a few years, he established what would become the Mayo Clinic — which now consistently ranks as the best hospital in the country, if not the world. Rochester, in other words, is an example of American excellence. To the extent that foreign nationals moved into Rochester, like William Mayo, it was to make the city a much better place for everyone.
But somewhere along the way, starting in the past few decades, the people running the state of Minnesota, including Tim Walz, decided to import a large group of people — not to improve the lives of American citizens in Rochester, but to secure a new and very loyal constituency. In particular, tens of thousands of refugees from the African nation of Somalia began pouring into the state, and many of them settled in Rochester. In fact, so many Somalis have now settled in Rochester that the city recently opened an entire community center just for them. Watch:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="001 somali nonprofit" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/0V0Glp0CFPI?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
When William Mayo moved into Rochester, of course, he didn&#8217;t demand a community center for British citizens. He didn&#8217;t call for a segregated location where they could talk among themselves, away from those dastardly Americans. And he certainly didn&#8217;t start some fake &#8220;nonprofit&#8221; to do so, in order to secure a lot of taxpayer money and some write-offs. Instead, he did something productive. He built a medical practice that benefited the entire community and ultimately the entire world.

But that&#8217;s not remotely what Rochester&#8217;s Somali population is interested in doing. Instead, they&#8217;ve created a web of nonprofits, to the point that every single news report involving Somalis in Rochester will inevitably mention a nonprofit at one point.
Here&#8217;s yet another example. This is a news report in which Somalis in Rochester celebrate their own country&#8217;s independence — not America&#8217;s independence, but Somalia&#8217;s independence. Watch:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="002 somali independence" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/VNx_gtGROJg?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Minnesota is the &#8220;Second home&#8221; of Somalis, as you just heard. Therefore, they have their own independence day and their own soccer championship. They host events for their own country because they understand, very well, that they aren&#8217;t part of the United States. And they don&#8217;t want to be.
Instead, the Somali population of Minnesota has committed itself to defrauding this country at every available opportunity. They have imported every bit of the corruption and wide-scale fraud that has destroyed Somalia.
In 2022, prosecutors announced <a href="https://x.com/siegfriedmuell/status/1918865673792418239">federal charges</a> against dozens of defendants who ripped off a federally-funded child nutrition program during the pandemic, to the tune of 250 million dollars. They claimed they served meals, and then they didn&#8217;t actually serve them. We&#8217;re talking about more than <a href="https://minnesotareformer.com/2024/05/23/somali-nonprofit-got-a-million-dollar-cut-from-feeding-our-future-prosecutors-say/">70 defendants</a> here, and most of them were Somalis.
As the <a href="https://minnesotareformer.com/2024/05/23/somali-nonprofit-got-a-million-dollar-cut-from-feeding-our-future-prosecutors-say/">Minnesota Reformer</a> states:
<blockquote>A dizzying array of nonprofits were created or revived to participate in a U.S. Department of Agriculture program to provide free meals to children during the pandemic. &#8230; Two Minnesota nonprofits are at the center of the case — Feeding Our Future and Partners in Nutrition — in what prosecutors say was the nation’s biggest pandemic relief fraud.  &#8230;  An FBI forensic accountant testified Wednesday that the largest food distribution site out of the 50 sites connected to the defendants was at the Dar Al-Farooq mosque in Bloomington, where they claimed to serve 1.9 million meals in 2021, for $4.9 million in reimbursement.</blockquote>
This fraud, unsurprisingly, was apparently enabled by Democrats in the Minnesota legislature.
As the outlet <a href="https://minnesotareformer.com/2024/05/23/somali-nonprofit-got-a-million-dollar-cut-from-feeding-our-future-prosecutors-say/">reports</a>:
<blockquote>Rep. Hodan Hassan withdrew two bills that would’ve given the [Somali nonprofit called &#8220;Somali Community Resettlement Services&#8221;] a total of $6.5 million in grants. &#8230; Evidence prepared for the federal trial linked the nonprofit to the Feeding Our Future case. &#8230; It sponsored eight distribution sites in Minnesota cities where the defendants claimed to serve thousands of meals and snacks daily in 2020 and 2021, for which it was reimbursed over $2.9 million. Of that, the Somali nonprofit paid the defendants and their various entities purporting to be serving meals $1.83 million, meaning it kept nearly $1.1 million.</blockquote>
In other words, the Somali population of Minnesota isn&#8217;t just ripping off American taxpayers. They&#8217;re electing corrupt representatives who are helping facilitate the fraud, one way or another. To be clear, unpacking all of the various fraudulent operations at work here would take about five years, so I&#8217;m not going to attempt it. Instead I&#8217;ll focus on one aspect of this story, which really highlights the comical and absurd level of corruption at work here.
During one of these trials, some of the defendants hatch a plan to bribe a juror with $200,000. They decide to just drop it at the juror&#8217;s front door, along with a note explaining that it&#8217;s a bribe. So it&#8217;s not the most subtle operation. But then a funny thing happens. As the courier is taking the money to the juror&#8217;s front porch, she skims $80,000 from the bribe money and keeps it for herself, without telling her co-conspirators. 
So even the Somalis are scamming other Somalis here. Watch:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="003 bribe Feeding our Future juror" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/gPQKARM4e9M?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
You have to imagine this kind of thing happens constantly in Somalia, and in places like Rochester. Bribery is a common part of the culture in Africa. I’ll never forget landing in the airport in Nairobi a few years ago and having officials at the airport demand a bribe like 5 minutes after we got off the plane. If you drive anywhere in these African countries, it&#8217;s recommended that you have cash on you to pay bribes to the cops in case you get stopped. Like I said, it&#8217;s part of the culture there. And now it&#8217;s part of the culture in Minnesota. Whenever fraudsters are extremely brazen about their crimes, it usually means that they&#8217;ve done it many, many times before without any consequences. In this case, they just happened to run into a juror with a basic sense of morality. And of course, even when they&#8217;re caught, they&#8217;re totally shameless about it. Calling this an endemic problem would be a major understatement.
On Reddit, just to emphasize the point, there&#8217;s a <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Somalia/comments/124x9l9/question_on_possibly_moving_to_mn/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">topic</a> called: &#8220;Question on possibly moving to Minnesota.&#8221;
Here&#8217;s the question: &#8220;Salaam my brothers and sisters. Thinking about moving to Rochester, Minnesota for a job, is there a large Somali community there?&#8221;
And here&#8217;s one of the top-rated replies: &#8220;From what I understand there is a fairly large Somali community in Rochester. The community is tight knit from what I hear, they’ll even cut you in on their latest scams. Best of luck!&#8221;
One of the reasons this fraud is so prevalent — other than the fact that many Somalis, like Ilhan Omar, despise this country — is that they don&#8217;t have the capacity to do anything else. Something like 54% of Somalis in Minnesota are <a href="https://www.sctimes.com/story/news/local/immigration/2018/02/24/state-demographer-offers-some-context-somali-refugee-poverty-numbers/370507002/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">below</a> the poverty line, compared to 12% of people living in Minnesota overall. Roughly 65% of Somali children live in poverty. The numbers are similar in the UK, where 72% of Somalis live in socialized housing, even though they only make up 16% of the population. There isn&#8217;t a single Western society on Earth that&#8217;s been improved by importing large quantities of Somalis, and the lives of these Somalis aren&#8217;t really improving that much either. They&#8217;re simply bringing corruption, violence and poverty wherever they go.
And they were apparently bringing some antisocial behavior to the playground in Rochester, if Shiloh Hendrix&#8217;s version of events is true. As she put it, a black child, reportedly of &#8220;Somali heritage,&#8221; tried to take items from her bag. Then, after calling the black child a slur in some manner, Hendrix was accosted by a Somali man who&#8217;s completely unrelated to the black child. And that Somali man, as we discussed the other day, has a history of sexual assault allegations that were later dropped in court.
From Shiloh Hendrix&#8217;s perspective, let&#8217;s recap: She wanted to enjoy a day at the park with her child in Rochester. But she couldn&#8217;t enjoy it because, like so many other cities in Minnesota, Rochester has deliberately imported a lot of third-world behavior. Put aside whether she&#8217;s a good person or a bad person, or whether she used a bad word. Instead, put what happened in context. Consider the fact that Minnesota&#8217;s &#8220;Cedar Riverside&#8221; neighborhood has been nicknamed &#8220;Little Mogadishu&#8221; because there&#8217;s so many Somali migrants flooding in. And then consider the fact that Little Mogadishu has seen a 56% increase in violent crime from 2010 to 2018, right when the Somali population was surging. Imagine living through this. Imagine that the local parks — which were once a point of pride for Rochester — are now full of people who are incapable of behaving like they belong in civilization. How exactly would you respond in that scenario?
You&#8217;d probably be exasperated. You might even say something naughty on camera. But if you did say, it really wouldn&#8217;t serve any purpose to blame you. It&#8217;d be like blaming a driver if he crashes in a poorly-designed intersection. Yes, the driver made a mistake. But the real problem, which the government engineered, is what actually needs to be addressed. In the case of Shiloh Hendrix, that&#8217;s not happening.
After my commentary the other day, in which I voiced my support for Hendrix&#8217;s fundraiser as a way of dealing a death blow to cancel culture, I&#8217;ve been accused of belonging to the so-called &#8220;woke right,&#8221; or using &#8220;third rail tactics&#8221; that are typical of the &#8220;woke right.&#8221; No one&#8217;s ever explained what exactly any of these terms mean, or how a monologue in which I explicitly condemned cancel culture could be described as &#8220;woke&#8221; in any meaningful way.
But the point of these allegations about the &#8220;woke right&#8221; isn&#8217;t to make sense. The point is to derail the conversation, so that everyone&#8217;s talking about labels and meta-analysis, instead of Shiloh Hendrix and what&#8217;s happened to cities like Rochester. Without much fanfare, large portions of this country have been converted into miniature versions of Somalia. You can see the evidence everywhere — from community centers to parks to playgrounds.
And if you really want to understand the Shiloh Hendrix story, which not many people do, then you can start by explaining to her — and everyone else in Rochester — what exactly two individuals of &#8220;Somali heritage&#8221; were doing in that playground in the first place. Why exactly are we importing Somalians into this country en masse? In what way has it improved American society? That’s a fair question. It&#8217;s also a forbidden one. Just like it&#8217;s forbidden to state the obvious here: nobody wants to live in a community overrun with Somalian immigrants. If you had a choice to live in a community where 60% of the population is Somalian, or one where zero percent is Somalian, you would choose the latter. Every single person would. And we all know it.
What&#8217;s more, if you had a choice between living next door to Shiloh Hendrix, or living next door to the Somalian accused child abuser who was filming her, you&#8217;d choose Shiloh every time. Every single person would. And we all know it.
So then why are we doing this? Why are going out of our way to make our communities in this country resemble the worst and most dysfunctional countries on the planet? Can you explain that? If you can’t, then you have no business telling anyone who has to live amid this dysfunction what they can and can’t say. Whether that makes me a member of the &#8220;woke right&#8221; or not, I don&#8217;t really care. It&#8217;s true — and everyone living in places like Rochester knows it very well.

The Part Of The Shiloh Hendrix Case No One Wants To Talk About

Cancel Culture

When it comes to immigration, President Trump has been absolutely stalwart.
He&#8217;s actually handled immigration so well that it dropped out of the top four or five issues for Americans. It was the number one or number two issue in every poll for Americans during the 2024 election cycle.
Trump was inaugurated and on the same day, everything started to get fixed because he said, we&#8217;re going to enforce the border, don&#8217;t come here.
People stopped coming.
On Monday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced:
<blockquote>Later this afternoon, President Trump will sign an executive order on law and order and another executive order on sanctuary cities. The first EO will strengthen and unleash America&#8217;s law enforcement to pursue criminals and protect innocent citizens. The second EO is centered around protecting American communities from criminal aliens, and it will direct the Attorney General and Secretary of Homeland Security to publish a list of state and local jurisdictions that obstruct the enforcement of federal immigration laws.</blockquote>
All of that is quite good. He signed three executive orders, including one that instructed Attorney General Pam Bondi and the Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, to pursue all necessary legal remedies and enforcement measures against so-called sanctuary cities.
Here&#8217;s the deal: Local law enforcement cannot be militarized by the federal government under the Posse Comitatus Act to actually enforce federal law. That is not permissible.
However, obstruction of justice, which has been happening in these sanctuary cities, where ICE goes in and you have local law enforcement actively obstructing the effort, declaring they are sanctuary cities and going out of their way to thwart federal law, that is something that the federal government should be cracking down on.

Another one of these executive orders “aims to bolster legal resources to police officers accused of wrongdoing, and the third seeks to enforce existing laws requiring professional truck drivers to be proficient in English,” according to <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/live/2025/04/28/us/trump-news">The New York Times</a>.
President Trump has also been unleashing ICE to go after illegal immigration wherever they find it in significant numbers.
On Monday, <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2025/04/28/us/colorado-springs-raid-monday/index.html">CNN</a> reported:
<blockquote>US federal agents early Sunday raided what authorities described as an underground nightclub in Colorado Springs and took into custody more than 100 migrants accused of being in the country illegally, the US Drug Enforcement Administration said.</blockquote>
Jonathan Pullen, the special agent in charge, said, “What was happening inside was significant drug trafficking, prostitution, crimes of violence. We seized a number of guns in there.”
The raid had been planned for months, according to Pullen. “During the surveillance, investigators documented drug trafficking, prostitution and the presence of people suspected to be members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, the international gang MS-13, and the Hells Angels, Pullen said,” CNN added.
This was a very large raid. Attorney General Pam Bondi, in describing the nature of the raid, explained that 170 calls to 911 had been made over the last several years. “Wouldn&#8217;t you think that would&#8217;ve been a red flag? Nothing happened. Guns, shootings, [aggravated] batteries, nothing happened,&#8221; she told <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/pam-bondi-offers-new-details-colorado-nightclub-raid-wisconsin-judge-aided-illegal-immigrant" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fox News</a>.
Their work on immigration is the upside of the Trump administration. They&#8217;ve been doing an excellent job, even though courts have been attempting to hamstring them pretty much every step of the way. The Trump administration has been completely thorough. They are doing a good job on all of this, and they&#8217;re being very aggressive in their public-facing about it as well.
According to <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/04/28/trump-posters-white-house-arrested-immigrants" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Axios</a>, “Trump administration officials late Sunday began placing dozens of posters of arrested unauthorized immigrants along the White House driveway. The posters — which read &#8220;ARRESTED&#8221; — specify various crimes linked to the pictured immigrants and have the White House&#8217;s official logo at the bottom.”
These posters were designed to reiterate that the goal here is to deport criminal illegal immigrants.
Immigration is still President Trump&#8217;s most popular issue.
It should be.

Leftist New York Democrat Rep. Dan Goldman posted a video on X in both Spanish and Chinese in which he advised immigrants of their rights under the law, but also seemingly implied that the Trump administration would take those rights away.
“Every New Yorker has rights when they interact with immigration enforcement,” Goldman wrote, then warned, “No matter what the next four years bring, stay informed, stay safe, and stay together.” In a statement at the end of the video, he said, “The next four years may look uncertain, but one thing is crystal clear: You and everybody have rights under the law that no president or law enforcement officer can ever take away.”

Goldman began the video by saying, “The Trump administration has carried out deportations, raids, all across the country, including here in New York City. These are certainly uncertain times.”
On his <a href="//9A7D374D-9028-4D2B-8459-73B1247647B4/v" target="_blank" rel="noopener">website</a>, Goldman advised immigrants that “If You Believe Your Rights Were Violated&#8230;Write down everything you remember, including badge numbers and patrol car numbers, what agency the officers were from and contact information for witnesses. &#8230; File a written complaint with the agency’s internal affairs division or civilian complaint board.”
On Wednesday, Goldman, who is a constant critic of President Donald Trump, referred to the president and Elon Musk, <a href="//9A7D374D-9028-4D2B-8459-73B1247647B4/v" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wailing</a> &#8220;the president and his unelected billionaire master are gutting every single executive branch agency.”

In November 2023, on MSNBC’s “Inside with Jen Psaki,” Goldman said of Trump that he had to be “eliminated,” asserting that Trump’s rhetoric was “really getting dangerous, more and more dangerous&#8230;.

The former Republican Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich says that &#8220;all the anger about illegal immigration&#8221; pushed him to publicly make the case for the importance of legal immigration, he told The Daily Wire.
Gingrich, along with his wife Callista Gingrich, is set to release a documentary on the value of legal immigration to the United States next month. He says the idea is to highlight immigrant stories that made the country a better place.
&#8220;Callista and I wanted to make the case for legal immigration with all of the anger about illegal immigration. We wanted a diverse range of people and people who would be plainly recognized,&#8221; Gingrich explained, later adding, &#8220;Some of them are great personal stories but not necessarily historic — but still unique in what they contributed to America. Some contribute in sort of an everyday way, some in more of a historic way.&#8221;
The documentary comes amid heated debate over immigration in the United States, both legal and illegal, even within the Republican Party. With Donald Trump set to retake the White House and secure the border, there is a significant amount of debate over other immigration restrictions, including worker visa programs that aim to bring in high-skilled workers to aid the U.S. economy. Critics say it takes jobs away from Americans, even if they&#8217;re capable of doing the job.
Gingrich told The Daily Wire that he and his wife carefully selected the stories of several immigrants to highlight for the upcoming PBS documentary, &#8220;Journey to America: With Newt and Callista Gingrich.&#8221; It will highlight, among others, the stories of renowned theoretical physicist Albert Einstein of Germany, Catholic missionary Francesca Cabrini of Italy, and famous actress — and inventor — Hedy Lamarr of Austria.

I knew of her as an actress but not how much she had contributed as an inventor even while she was working in Hollywood,&#8221; Gingrich said. &#8220;As we developed the script, I realized that she had contributed technology we still use in our cell phones today.&#8221;
Lamarr, who starred alongside Hollywood heavyweights Jimmy Stewart, Judy Garland, and Lana Turner in 1941&#8217;s &#8220;Ziegfeld Girl,&#8221; is also responsible for pioneering the technology that is still used as the basis for WiFi, GPS, and Bluetooth communications.
Gingrich said that the overall message they meant to share was a simple one: &#8220;The message is to have a real sense of pride that we are a nation that has had an open door for people to enter legally, and we have been remarkably enriched by the people who have come here and have contributed greatly to our society in many different ways.&#8221;
&#8220;It’s totally appropriate to be against illegal immigration, but we don’t want that to become being against legal immigration,&#8221; Gingrich added, drawing a hard line between supporting legal immigration and simply allowing people to cross the border unchecked. &#8220;America is a very unique and successful country because of legal immigration &#8230; You can enrich your country without having it overrun by people who break the law.&#8221;
Gingrich mentioned the late British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, saying that she&#8217;d once referred to the United States as a &#8220;contract country&#8221; — and added, &#8220;[That is] the great genius of the American system — you can come here, but then you have to become an American.&#8221;

An Algerian national in France who raped a child has been granted refugee status after claiming he would be persecuted in his home country due to his trans identity.
The criminal, referred to in court documents as Medhi F., was convicted of sexually assaulting a 15-year-old minor in 2019 and sentenced to four years in prison, Le Journal du Dimanche (JDD) <a href="https://www.lejdd.fr/societe/le-conseil-detat-confirme-le-statut-de-refugie-dun-algerien-condamne-pour-agression-sexuelle-sur-mineur-malgre-les-reserves-de-lofpra-150063">reported</a>. In addition, Medhi F. was supposed to be deported from France.
But in 2020, Medhi applied for asylum from the French Office for the Protection of Refugees and Stateless Persons (OFPRA), claiming he couldn’t return to Algeria because he would face persecution as a trans-identifying male. OFPRA refused his request, citing a section of the French code that states that refugee status can be refused or terminated if the person asking “has been convicted in France … either for a crime or for an offense constituting an act of terrorism or punishable by ten years’ imprisonment, and his presence constitutes a serious threat to French society.”
Mehdi appealed his case to France’s National Court of Asylum (CNDA), which in 2023 overturned the OFPRA decision. The CNDA maintained that Medhi needed to meet two conditions to be excluded from refugee status: A conviction and posing a threat to society “on the date of the decision,” JDD reported.
The CNDA decided that the conviction was indisputable but that Mehdi no longer posed a threat to French society, writing that he had &#8220;voluntarily committed himself from the start of his detention to numerous treatment protocols and professional integration procedures that justified the reduction of his sentence, that he had obtained in 2021 the judicial lifting of the additional sentence of banishment from the territory pronounced against him, that he had expressed regrets and a desire for social and professional integration, and that he benefited from psychiatric monitoring and associative support.&#8221;
A psychiatrist in 2022 also determined there was “no evidence supporting the hypothesis of a possible recidivism,&#8221; though it is unclear how the psychiatrist made that determination.
OFPRA disagreed with CNDA’s decision and took the case further to France’s Council of State, the country’s highest court for cases involving public administration. On July 15, 2024, the Council of State ruled in favor of CNDA, stating that convictions “cannot in themselves legally justify a decision refusing or terminating refugee status&#8221; and that “the time that has elapsed and the entire behavior of the person concerned since the commission of the offenses” should be taken into account.

OFPRA appealed the Council’s decision, but it was upheld on Monday, with judges ruling that Mehdi – who is currently doing some form of transition – is correct to fear persecution in Algeria for his trans identity, and the fear is serious enough to grant him refugee status in France, JDD <a href="https://www.lejdd.fr/societe/transition-de-genre-le-conseil-detat-valide-le-statut-de-refugie-dun-algerien-condamne-pour-agression-sexuelle-sur-mineur-150123?at_medium=Fan+Page&amp;at_campaign=Twitter&amp;at_creation=JDD">reported</a>.

Five years ago a 47-year-old man from Senegal hijacked a school bus full of children just outside Milan, the business capital of Italy. He ordered the teachers and a janitor to restrain all the children with zip ties. His motive was clear: The man threatened to carry out a &#8220;massacre&#8221; to avenge all of the illegal migrants who drowned on their way to Europe. Essentially, he wanted open borders, and he was threatening to commit mass murder to get it. And he seemed intent on making good on that promise: During a 40-minute rampage, the man rammed the school bus into several cars on a highway before lighting the bus on fire. At that point, the 51 children on board managed to escape, thanks in part to the adults who didn&#8217;t actually secure the zip ties on any of the students.
This 2019 school bus hijacking changed the trajectory of Italy&#8217;s politics overnight, and you can see why. People will buy into a lot of very bad policies in the name of tolerance and acceptance and so on. But when a guy from Senegal hijacks a school bus full of children and tries to light them on fire, it&#8217;s pretty clear that a red line has been crossed. That&#8217;s an unmistakable sign that things need to change. And voters in Italy responded accordingly. It&#8217;s one of the reasons Meloni was elected prime minister in 2022, on a platform calling for a naval blockade to keep illegal migrants out of the country.
On Wednesday, this country came very close to experiencing a similar incident in the state of California, which long ago adopted European-style migration policies. On two separate occasions, groups of illegal migrants attempted to board a school bus on the highway near the Mexican border, in the Jamul-Dulzura Union School District. In the first instance, three men stood in the middle of the highway, apparently attempting to force the bus to stop. In the second instance, a group of about 20 illegal migrants were waiting on another route for another bus. It&#8217;s not clear if the same illegal aliens were involved in both of these incidents. Watch:

So the plan is apparently to just leave the kids at the bus stop next time with the &#8220;migrants.&#8221; What else can you possibly do? Surely you can&#8217;t have the police round up and arrest this group of people who are in this country illegally, terrorizing children and threatening to hijack buses. That would just be unthinkable, intolerant even. So instead, the children can just fend for themselves. The school bus will get out of dodge like the last chopper out of Hanoi.

Meanwhile the sheriff&#8217;s office in San Diego says they&#8217;re investigating to determine &#8220;if a criminal act has occurred.&#8221; They&#8217;re not quite sure if standing in the middle of the road, or being in the country illegally, or threatening to hijack a school bus are really crimes. Maybe bus hijacking has been decriminalized too. They&#8217;re still looking into it.
This is one of those moments where an abstract policy debate suddenly becomes a lot less abstract. It&#8217;s one thing to talk about how &#8220;no person is illegal&#8221; and so on. But it&#8217;s quite another to tolerate something like this. And there are very clear signs that Americans, like Italians, are tired of tolerating it. Earlier this year Axios <a href="https://www.axios.com/2024/04/25/trump-biden-americans-illegal-immigration-poll" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> on a poll showing that: &#8220;Half of Americans — including 42% of Democrats — say they&#8217;d support mass deportations of undocumented immigrants.&#8221; Additionally, &#8220;two-thirds of Americans said illegal immigration is a real crisis, not a politically driven media narrative.&#8221;
As more people see the unavoidable consequences of mass migration in their everyday lives, support for mass deportations is only going to increase even further. The reality of unrestricted illegal migration is that everyday events suddenly become a lot more dangerous, all over the place, to the point that the policy itself becomes untenable.
That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s not just Californians who can&#8217;t escape these consequences anymore. In Aurora Colorado, an apartment complex has reportedly been taken over by a Venezuelan street gang. Surveillance footage shows gunmen with rifles walking around with impunity. There&#8217;s trash everywhere, residents report that a bunch of illegal aliens moved in recently, and shootings are commonplace. Watch:

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Several police departments in Colorado have responded to this footage. For their part, Aurora PD says they&#8217;re &#8220;aware&#8221; that &#8220;components&#8221; of this Venezuelan gang (known as T.d.A) are operating in the area. The police department also says it has been &#8220;increasingly collecting evidence to show the gang is connected to crimes in the area,&#8221; although they claim that these crimes are &#8220;isolated,&#8221; whatever that means. But here&#8217;s the most incredible part of the statement.
&#8220;The city and Aurora Police Department, as previously stated, established a special task force in collaboration with other local, state and federal partners to specifically address concerns about Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua (TdA) and other criminal activity *affecting migrant communities.*”
So they say the gang is committing &#8220;criminal activity affecting migrant communities.&#8221; But obviously, it&#8217;s not just affecting the &#8220;migrant communities.&#8221; It&#8217;s affecting the millions of American citizens who pay taxes in Colorado — people the Aurora police department is supposedly sworn to protect. But they don&#8217;t even get a mention in the police department&#8217;s statement. Even when they&#8217;re talking about the takeover of an apartment building by illegal aliens, the police are still primarily concerned with the illegal aliens.

Meanwhile Denver PD released its own <a href="https://x.com/DenverPolice/status/1828902961138811317" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a>. They actually do mention the &#8220;residents&#8221; of their community, and not just the &#8220;migrants.&#8221; So that&#8217;s something. They also denied that an apartment was &#8220;taken over,&#8221; despite the video evidence to the contrary. That assessment would also contradict the conclusion of Aurora&#8217;s mayor, who just said on national television that multiple buildings have fallen to Venezuelan gangs, and it&#8217;s possible they were funded by the U.S.government:

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
This would seem like something the Denver police department should know about. But to be fair, they admitted that the Venezuelan gang is committing a lot of crimes and they&#8217;re, &#8220;learning&#8221; about.
And there&#8217;s a lot of that kind of &#8220;learning&#8221; going on right now in Colorado, one way or the other. This week for example, the residents of Colorado learned that illegal immigrants can legally drive big rigs on the road, kill American citizens while driving recklessly, and then get off with a maximum sentence of one year in prison. That&#8217;s what&#8217;s happening now in the case of Ignacio Cruz-Mendoza, an illegal alien without a valid commercial driver&#8217;s license who crashed his 18-wheeler into a car being driven by Scott Miller. Watch:

Allegedly the Democrat DA&#8217;s office just made an innocent little mistake here. Apparently it&#8217;s their first day on the job. They didn&#8217;t realize that by charging this illegal alien with misdemeanors and nothing else, that he could then plead guilty to those misdemeanors. And then double jeopardy kicks in, and they can&#8217;t charge him anymore. This was all supposedly totally unforeseeable to the DA. 
In order to believe that, you&#8217;d have to know nothing about the leadership of the state of Colorado, which goes out of its way to mock concerns about illegal alien crime. In response to the apartment takeover I mentioned earlier, for example, the state&#8217;s governor, Jared Polis, put out a snarky statement mocking Aurora City Councilwoman Danielle Jurinsky, who initially complained about the incident. Polis&#8217; office said, &#8220;the purported invasion is largely a feature of Danielle Jurinsky’s imagination.” (Even though it&#8217;s on tape).  He also said crime has been going down.
This is the extent of the response that voters in Left-wing states can expect when they object to the systematic destruction of their way of life. The more they complain about school bus hijackings, apartment takeovers and highway crashes, the more their leaders will laugh at them. There&#8217;s precedent for this; it&#8217;s what happened in Italy, among many other European nations. And if that precedent is any indication, it means that we are getting very close to the point at which people have had enough. And when that point comes, none of these people will be in power. They&#8217;ll be replaced with leaders who, like Meloni, will promise to end unrestricted migration. And hopefully, unlike Meloni, the people we elect will actually fulfill that promise.

When I fled civil unrest and violence in Mexico City for the United States as a young girl, I had no idea that I would eventually become sucked into another violent regime: the U.S. abortion industry.
Unfortunately, the 17 years I spent working as an employee of Planned Parenthood opened my eyes to unspeakable horrors inflicted on babies and moms that Democrat politicians like Kamala Harris facilitate. Today, as Vice President Kamala Harris seeks to win the White House, I hope my story serves as a warning that Harris’ laundry list of incompetency and injustice against immigrants and women make her unfit to lead our nation.
Planned Parenthood hired me back in 2000, I believe in large part because I was undocumented, which made me a useful envoy to the immigrant community. Over the next 17 years, the organization groomed me into one of their leading employees. Yet as I was showered with bonuses, titles and even Planned Parenthood’s 2016 “Employee of the Year,” I began uncovering the truth about the coercion and exploitation the organization relied upon as part of its business model. I saw that, contrary to their claim that abortion was <a href="https://lozierinstitute.org/fact-sheet-planned-parenthoods-2021-22-annual-report/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">only a minuscule part</a> of their services, the abortion clinic I worked in raked in about $20,000 per day compared to their non-abortive clinic which made barely a few hundred.
Among the many problems I saw go unreported, one doctor in particular had countless <a href="https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/local/arizona/2019/08/19/ex-planned-parenthood-employee-mayra-rodriguez-awarded-3-m-jury-wrongful-termination/2051782001/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">health and safety violations</a> that went unchecked.
Even worse, I heard reports of women and girls being <a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2024/jul/25/women-pushed-into-abortions-offer-grim-accounts-of/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">coerced into unwanted abortions. </a> One horrific example that I learned of years later involved a young immigrant named Mayela. This poor young girl underwent <a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2024/jul/25/women-pushed-into-abortions-offer-grim-accounts-of/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a late-term abortion in Arizona</a> without her knowledge or consent, after Planned Parenthood staff charged her $200 and asked her to sign paperwork she didn&#8217;t understand – all without a translator.
This, coupled with my growing realization of how the abortion and <a href="https://lozierinstitute.org/online-mail-order-chemical-abortion-a-threat-to-abuse-and-trafficking-victims/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">trafficking</a> industries thrive off one another, deeply shocked me. 
Yet, when I began to voice concerns over these problems, Planned Parenthood threatened, harassed, and ultimately fired me.
So, I made U.S. history as the first undocumented worker to <a href="https://rnha.org/interview-with-mayra-rodriguez/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">file a wrongful termination</a> lawsuit. A predominantly pro-choice jury unanimously awarded me <a href="https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/local/arizona/2019/08/19/ex-planned-parenthood-employee-mayra-rodriguez-awarded-3-m-jury-wrongful-termination/2051782001/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">$3 million in damages </a>against Planned Parenthood. Sadly, the abortionist at the center of my lawsuit continues practicing at the expense of women and girls today.
You’d think that Kamala Harris, the first female Vice President and presidential hopeful, would be appalled to hear these damning revelations – especially since she has centered her campaign around women’s “rights” and “choice.”
But <a href="https://www.plannedparenthoodaction.org/pressroom/planned-parenthood-action-fund-endorses-kamala-harris-for-president" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Planned Parenthood donates</a> heavily to Harris’ political campaigns, which explains why she consistently chooses the abortion industry over the women she claims to champion. In fact, during her time as Attorney General of California, Harris collaborated with Planned Parenthood and the DOJ to silence, discredit, and destroy another Planned Parenthood <a href="https://www.dailysignal.com/2024/08/07/exclusive-kamala-harris-sent-agents-raid-pro-life-journalists-home-met-planned-parenthood-emails-show/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">whistleblower.</a>
In light of this, it’s safe to say that Kamala Harris wouldn’t have even let me file my lawsuit if I’d tried to file in her state of California instead of Arizona. 
Harris’ close relationship with Planned Parenthood is a massive warning sign to all vulnerable and immigrant women – especially because immigrant and low-income women are disproportionately affected by human trafficking, crime and the exploitative abortion industry.
Harris’ refusal to acknowledge or address the border crisis has allowed historic numbers of immigrants to flood states like Arizona with deadly illegal drugs, crime, and human trafficking, the very conditions from which many migrants have fled. Moreover, her track record of disastrous policies put women at risk. In one egregious instance, an illegal immigrant released by one of Harris’ <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/victim-brutal-2008-illegal-migrant-attack-speaks-out-about-harris-record-prosecutor" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“crime prevention”</a> programs in California attacked a young woman and fractured her skull.
Instead of addressing these pressing issues, Harris has made promoting abortion the center of her campaign. She has devoted precious resources to attacking pregnancy resource centers that provide free resources, education and support to vulnerable (and often immigrant) women in need – merely because these organizations do not offer abortion. She also has backed radical and deceptive pro-abortion state ballot initiatives like the one being pushed here in Arizona. Similar amendments in states like <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/state-officials-are-right-sound-alarm-pro-abortion-ballot-measures-opinion-1867851" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Michigan</a> and Ohio have already been promising for the child trafficking industry, as they open the door for legislators to nullify parental consent requirements for minors to get abortions. I fear the same could happen here in Arizona if the Harris-backed Amendment passes.
Women deserve so much better than Harris’ hellscape of crime, trafficking, and coercive abortions at the hands of dangerous immigrants and an exploitative abortion industry.
As an immigrant woman who escaped Planned Parenthood’s clutches and became a legal citizen in this wonderful country, I hope my testimony serves as a warning to all women: We can’t afford to let Planned Parenthood’s bought and paid for henchwoman destroy the America we love.

Japan&#8217;s government says it was &#8220;unfortunate&#8221; that President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a> called Japan, a U.S. ally, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-labels-japan-xenophobic-for-not-following-his-lead-in-importing-hordes-of-third-worlders" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&#8220;xenophobic&#8221;</a> in remarks last week.
During a campaign reception in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday, Biden lumped Japan in with U.S. adversaries Russia and China while arguing that immigration can help to create strong economies.
&#8220;One of the reasons why our economy is growing is because of you and many others. Why? Because we welcome immigrants. We look to — the reason — look, think about it,&#8221; Biden <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-remarks/2024/05/01/remarks-by-president-biden-at-a-campaign-reception-7/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>.
&#8220;Why is China stalling so badly economically? Why is Japan having trouble? Why is Russia? Why is India? Because they’re xenophobic. They don’t want immigrants,&#8221; he added.
&#8220;Immigrants is [sic] what makes us strong,&#8221; Biden continued. &#8220;Not a joke. That’s not hyperbole. Because we have an influx of workers who want to be here and just contribute.&#8221;
Fox News <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/japanese-government-responds-biden-claim-japan-xenophobic-unfortunate" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> on Saturday that the Japanese Embassy had given a response to Biden, alluding to a <a href="https://twitter.com/WarMachineRR/status/1786076693909619126" target="_blank" rel="noopener">defense</a> of the president given by White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre in speaking to reporters.
&#8220;We are aware that the U.S. government has clarified that President Biden&#8217;s comment was made in the context of explaining that the U.S. is a nation of immigrants and that immigrants make the U.S. stronger, and that his comment was not made with the intent of undermining the importance and permanence of the Japan-U.S. relationship,&#8221; the embassy said.

&#8220;It is unfortunate that some of the comments were not based on an accurate understanding of Japan&#8217;s policies, and we have raised this point to the U.S. government and explained Japan&#8217;s positions and policies once again,&#8221; Japanese officials added.
India’s External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar also <a href="https://apnews.com/article/biden-japan-immigration-xenophobic-india-modi-biden-b7a488366c583454ed5f6b16f1c56d01" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rebuffed</a> Biden on Saturday, touting his country&#8217;s GDP growth while insisting that India is a welcoming place during an event organized by the Economic Times newspaper in New Delhi, according to the Associated Press.
&#8220;I haven’t seen such an open, pluralistic, and diverse society anywhere in the world. We are actually not just not xenophobic, we are the most open, most pluralistic and in many ways the most understanding society in the world,” Jaishankar said.

Several illegal migrants spoke at a New York City Council meeting this week to complain that the city&#8217;s free services provided to them are not acceptable.
The City Council held a meeting on Tuesday specifically to hear about the experiences of black migrants in the city. There, migrants and their advocates accused the city of treating them unfairly.
&#8220;My kids cannot eat the food at the shelter,&#8221; one mother said at the hearing, speaking through a translator. &#8220;And on Ramadan time we couldn&#8217;t eat because when you come back on the break the food is no good at all.&#8221;

&quot;This is shameful time for NYC. IT IS ANTI-AFRICAN AND XENOPHOBIC!&quot;

&#8220;And they give us two months to stay at the shelter and then you have to go out again with your luggage and your kids and find another place. It&#8217;s very difficult,&#8221; she added.
She added that she has children over 18 who have never had any schooling.
&#8220;So please help us,&#8221; she said.
Migrants also pushed for a speedier process to work authorization.
&#8220;Anywhere you go to find a job, they ask for working papers,&#8221; said Mohammed Bah, who <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news/migrant-rally-for-housing-work-permits/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">came</a> from Guinea five months ago.

Corinne Obongo Golden, a member of the group Africa is Everywhere, became heated at the hearing, telling councilmembers, &#8220;This is unacceptable. This is shameful time in New York history. This city is not friendly for all people. It is anti-African and xenophobic.&#8221;
&#8220;Africans deserve dignity and respect. We are not animals,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;I&#8217;m so upset &#8230; I want all my fellow Africans to know what it is that they will face if they come to New York City.&#8221;
&#8220;They are here to show you that they belong, and that they are here and that they should not be erased. Please listen to them,&#8221; said Patrice Lawrence, executive director of the UndocuBlack Network.
Other migrants held a rally outside City Hall prior to the hearing to air their grievances.
“We have issues with housing. We don’t have work. A lot of us weren’t able to apply for asylum yet, because we don’t have the means to pay the lawyers,” one migrant <a href="https://ny1.com/nyc/manhattan/politics/2024/04/16/black-migrants-call-on-city-to-provide-equitable-and-fair-services" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>, speaking through an interpreter.
Several local lawmakers showed up at the rally as well and echoed the calls from migrants for better services.
“Our color should not determine what service we get in New York City, because when every once else comes they get the services,” said Councilmember Mercedes Narcisse, who is Haitian American and a Democrat representing Brooklyn.
New York has seen an influx of more than 180,000 illegal migrants over the past two years creating a crisis that has strained the city’s budget and caused officials to plead for federal help. As of last month, the top African countries from which migrants come to New York City and end up in the city&#8217;s care <a href="https://ny1.com/nyc/manhattan/politics/2024/04/16/black-migrants-call-on-city-to-provide-equitable-and-fair-services" target="_blank" rel="noopener">are</a> Guinea, Senegal, and Mauritania.

The Biden administration&#8217;s census projections for how many immigrants are living in the U.S. are already &#8220;obsolete&#8221; due to the massive influx of illegal immigrants crossing the southern border, a new report has found.
The total immigrant population — both legal and illegal — currently sits at a record high of 51.4 million, or 15.5% of the population, as of February, <a href="https://cis.org/Report/ForeignBorn-Share-and-Number-Record-Highs-February-2024" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to the report from the Center for Immigration Studies, which analyzed the Census Bureau’s Current Population Survey.
This is an increase of 6.4 million since President Biden took office, the report says.
More than half of that increase is likely due to illegal immigration, although legal immigrants still make up about three-fourths of the total foreign-born population, the report notes.
Back in November, the Census Bureau predicted that the foreign-born share of the population would not reach 15.5% until 2039.
&#8220;The scale of immigration is so high that it appears to have made the Census Bureau population projections, published in November of last year, obsolete,&#8221; the report says.
Most of the increase is due to immigration from Latin America, which has jumped 4.2 million since Biden took office, according to the report. Immigration from the Indian subcontinent has also spiked 819,000, and immigration from the Middle East is up 654,000.
About 172,000 foreign-born people currently enter the country each month, about four times the monthly increase under the Trump administration.

Meanwhile, the education level of new migrants has declined, due in part to the influx of illegal migrants. About 44% of adults who arrived in the last two years have no education beyond high school, up from 29% in 2018.
Also, the number of immigrant workers is climbing, while the number of American-born workers is dropping. A total of 31 million immigrant workers, more than three million more than in February, 2020, now make up a record 19% of all workers.
Since 1970, the foreign-born share of the population has tripled. It has risen 40% since just 2000.
&#8220;The enormous scale of immigration over the past three years has implications for nearly every aspect of American society, including public coffers, the labor market, schools, hospitals, and the balance of political power, to say nothing of whether we can assimilate this many people,&#8221; the report says.
The crisis at the southern border has resulted in tens of thousands of migrants descending on major cities like New York City, Chicago, Denver, Philadelphia, and Los Angeles.
New York City has seen more than 183,000 migrants show up since the spring of 2022. Chicago has seen more than 37,000 migrants. Both cities have spent tens of millions of dollars on food, shelter, and other migrant-related costs.
