New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced on Wednesday that the city is suing 30 New York counties over their refusal to house foreign nationals who’ve entered the United States. 
The <a href="https://www.nyc.gov/assets/home/downloads/pdf/press-releases/2023/in-the-matter-of-city-of-new-york-et-al-v-county-of-rockland-et-al.pdf?utm_medium=email&amp;utm_name=&amp;utm_source=govdelivery" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lawsuit</a> claims that the counties are preventing New York City from responding to a statewide emergency. If it proves successful, the lawsuit could result in courts invalidating policies set in place by the counties.
“This lawsuit aims to put an end to this xenophobic bigotry and ensure our state acts as one as we work together to manage this humanitarian crisis fairly and humanely,&#8221; Adams said in an <a href="https://www.nyc.gov/office-of-the-mayor/news/395-23/city-new-york-sue-30-new-york-counties-illegally-walling-off-their-borders-asylum" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announcement</a>. He also stated, “We have repeatedly sounded the alarm that our shelter system is at capacity and that we are out of space.” 
&#8220;The City of New York is asking the court to declare all the executive orders null and void and to enjoin the counties from taking any steps to enforce them,&#8221; the statement concludes.
New York City has seen a surge in asylum seekers coming to the city, with over 74,000 asking for housing since last spring, according to the mayor&#8217;s statement. As of June 4, over “47,200 asylum seekers remained in shelter provided by the City of New York,” the statement also noted. The city even saw as many as 900 foreign nationals ask for housing in single days in May. 
New York City recently announced that 50 places of worship will begin to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/50-new-york-city-places-of-worship-will-house-foreign-nationals" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shelter foreign nationals</a>. Adams also suggested that <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/nyc-mayor-envisions-private-residences-housing-migrants" target="_blank" rel="noopener">private citizens</a> may also need to house border crossers.

Chicago has also struggled to house those who’ve entered the city after crossing the border. The Chicago City Council recently approved a controversial measure to provide <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/chicago-city-council-approves-51-million-to-fund-illegal-immigrant-housing" target="_blank" rel="noopener">$51 million in funding</a> for housing many of the 10,000 foreign nationals who’ve arrived since August 2022.
Meanwhile, the Biden administration recently announced that it&#8217;s planning on <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-admin-to-increase-number-of-foreign-nationals-admitted-through-cbp-one-app" target="_blank" rel="noopener">increasing</a> the number of foreign nationals who can enter the U.S. through the CBP One App to almost 40,000 per month. 
One recent <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/hosting-migrants-poll-2023-05-21/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">poll</a> from CBS News found that 63% of Americans <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/weve-been-abandoned-border-ranchers-recount-chaos-on-southern-border" target="_blank" rel="noopener">disapprove</a> of President Joe Biden’s handling of the southern border, with just 37% saying that they approve.

Florida Governor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ron-desantis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ron DeSantis</a> announced this week that he is creating a new coalition of states that will be announced in the coming days that will unite like-minded governors and sheriffs around the country to combat President Joe Biden&#8217;s illegal immigration crisis.
DeSantis made the remarks during a roundtable discussion on Wednesday in Arizona where he visited the U.S. southern border. He also fired back at California Governor Gavin Newsom&#8217;s repeated attacks on him for sending illegal aliens to California, which Newsom has proudly declared is a &#8220;sanctuary state.&#8221;
&#8220;The message [we] want to send today is we&#8217;re going to partner and we&#8217;re going to formalize this in the coming days and weeks, we&#8217;re going to partner with all like-minded sheriffs and governors around the country to create a coalition of people that actually do have the will to fight back against this problem,&#8221; he said. &#8220;And I think we&#8217;ll be able to do a lot working together — probably not gonna be able to solve everything because we need D.C. to get in here, but I think we&#8217;re going to be able to make a difference.&#8221;
DeSantis said that both Florida&#8217;s Highway Patrol and National Guard Counterdrug Task Force have developed a training program to help train officers from around the nation.
“And so we&#8217;re going to be offering this, we&#8217;re going to be welcoming people from across the country to come to Florida and train with some of our folks and basically learn a model that we think has had tremendous success,&#8221; he said.
DeSantis also responded to Newsom&#8217;s attacks this week after Florida sent planes full of illegal aliens to Sacramento, California, where Newsom lives.
Newsom <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/newsom-rages-after-desantis-sends-illegal-immigrants-to-his-sanctuary-state" target="_blank" rel="noopener">erupted</a>, calling DeSantis a “small, pathetic man” in a tweet and suggesting that there could be forthcoming criminal charges for kidnapping. In a subsequent interview with NBC News, Newsom said that he was being “very generous” by calling DeSantis “small” and “pathetic.” Newsom claimed that DeSantis was “weakness masquerading as strength, yeah, he’s flailing, desperate for attention.”
When asked to respond to Newsom&#8217;s comments, DeSantis said, &#8220;The sanctuary jurisdictions are part of the reason we have this problem, because they have endorsed and agitated for these types of open border policies, they have bragged that they are sanctuary jurisdictions, they attack the previous administration&#8217;s efforts to try to have border security.&#8221;
<a href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-9096" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://onelink.to/dwapp&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1685885459858000&amp;usg=AOvVaw0AFvCLn4CIt7S8nPLjhrIg">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP</a>
&#8220;When they have to deal with some of the fruits of that, they all of a sudden become very, very upset about that,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Well, what are these people having to deal with here? I don&#8217;t see the sympathy for them. And so, you know, the reality is, I think the border should be closed, I don&#8217;t think we should have any of this. But if there&#8217;s a policy to have an open border, then I think the sanctuary jurisdictions should be the ones that have to bear that — we&#8217;re not a sanctuary in Florida.&#8221;
&#8220;I think it&#8217;s been something that&#8217;s been very, very effective,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;And you can see why some people when they&#8217;re coming illegally, a place like California, they give benefits, they give unemployment checks, they do all that. And so you could see why some of those folks were interested in going that direction. In Florida, we&#8217;ve gone the opposite way. You know, we say we&#8217;re gonna have a legal workforce, we&#8217;re not going to have benefits, we&#8217;re not going to do that, and basically trying to disincentivize it.&#8221;
DeSantis said that any nation &#8220;worth its salt&#8221; must have control over its borders, and that failure to secure the border &#8220;is totally unacceptable.&#8221;

Florida Governor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ron-desantis">Ron DeSantis</a> triggered California Governor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/gavin-newsom">Gavin Newsom</a> into a state of rage this week by sending his &#8220;sanctuary state&#8221; planes full of illegal aliens.
Florida officials confirmed that the state flew two private planes carrying illegal aliens to Sacramento, the capital city of California where Newsom resides, on Friday and Monday.
Newsom erupted, calling DeSantis a &#8220;small, pathetic man&#8221; in a tweet and suggesting that there could be forthcoming criminal charges for kidnapping.
In a subsequent interview with NBC News, Newsom <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/gavin-newsom-florida-committed-crimes-sending-migrants-california-rcna88043">said</a> that he was being &#8220;very generous&#8221; by calling DeSantis &#8220;small&#8221; and &#8220;pathetic.&#8221; Newsom claimed that DeSantis was &#8220;weakness masquerading as strength, yeah, he&#8217;s flailing, desperate for attention.&#8221;
Newsom claimed that he knew for a fact that DeSantis lied to the migrants by telling them that they &#8220;had help on the other side.&#8221;
It is unclear what Newsom is angry over, considering the fact that he has openly championed the fact that his state is a sanctuary state for illegal aliens.
&#8220;Let me be clear, @realDonaldTrump: California is a sanctuary state,&#8221; Newsom tweeted in 2018. &#8220;We believe in the power of diversity. We have defied and resisted the xenophobic, hateful policies of your administration at every turn. We will do it again.&#8221;
The Florida Division of Emergency Management released a video showing that those who were transported went voluntarily.

&#8220;As you can see from this video, Florida&#8217;s voluntary relocation is precisely that &#8211; voluntary,&#8221; division of emergency management spokesperson Alecia Collins said in a statement. &#8220;Through verbal and written consent, these volunteers indicated they wanted to go to California.&#8221;
Collins said that contractors were present and ensured that the migrants made it safely to a 3rd-party NGO, Catholic Charities, which is used and funded by the federal government.
&#8220;From left-leaning mayors in El Paso, Texas, and Denver, Colorado, the relocation of those illegally crossing the United States border is not new,&#8221; Collins added. &#8220;But suddenly, when Florida sends illegal aliens to a sanctuary city, it&#8217;s false imprisonment and kidnapping.&#8221;
Newsom has repeatedly engaged in attacks on DeSantis in what many political analysts and pundits believe is an effort to raise his national profile in the off chance that he decides to run for president in 2024. Newsom has <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2022/11/26/gavin-newsom-wont-challenge-joe-biden-00070829">said</a> he has said he will not challenge Biden in 2024.
DeSantis and former President Donald Trump are the top two contenders in the 2024 Republican Party presidential nomination by a wide margin.

The Biden administration recently announced it would expand the number of foreign nationals admitted into the United States through the CBP One application to nearly 40,000 per month. 
The digital application allows foreign nationals to schedule appointments to apply for asylum at ports of entry. Thus far, roughly <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/border-app-releases-almost-80000-foreign-nationals-into-u-s-in-last-four-months">80,000 foreign nationals</a> have been allowed into the United States through the CBP One app in just the last four months, but now the Biden administration is <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/biden-admin-to-expand-migrant-entries-via-cbp-one-app-nearly-40k-month#:~:text=The%20Biden%20administration%20is%20expanding,have%20dropped%20post-Title%2042.">increasing appointment openings</a> from 1,000 per day to 1,250 a day.
In May, the app became the primary method for asylum seekers to schedule appointments. The program has been met with criticism from the Right, with Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO), <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/99-percent-migrants-sought-title-42-exception-cbp-one-app-approved">blasting it</a> as a “concierge service for illegal immigrants.”
The nearly 40,000 appointments per month do not include a distinct parole program designed specifically for those from Haiti, Venezuela, Nicaragua, and Cuba. 
The expansion of the CBP One app comes after the Biden administration announced a <a href="https://www.dhs.gov/news/2023/05/11/fact-sheet-circumvention-lawful-pathways-final-rule">rule</a> called the “Circumvention of Lawful Pathways,” which incentives foreign nationals to use the digital process. 
The policy has since been <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/indiana-attorney-general-leads-18-state-lawsuit-challenging-bidens-border-policies">challenged</a> by 18 Republican state Attorneys General who contend that the policy does not seek to solve the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/mommy-theres-bad-guys-at-my-window-border-patrol-wife-describes-dangers-chaos-on-southern-border">border crisis</a> but “tries to define the problem away by re-characterizing what would be illegal crossings as ‘lawful pathways.’”
Meanwhile, the Biden administration’s decision to increase the number of CBP One App appointments comes as major cities like Chicago and New York struggle to manage the influx of border crossers into their communities. 
The Chicago City Council recently voted to approve <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/chicago-city-council-approves-51-million-to-fund-illegal-immigrant-housing">$51 million in funding</a> for housing many of the 10,000 foreign nationals who’ve arrived since August 2022, while in New York City, 50 places of worship will begin to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/50-new-york-city-places-of-worship-will-house-foreign-nationals">shelter foreign nationals</a>. 
New York City Democratic Mayor Eric Adams suggested that private citizens may soon be called upon to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/nyc-mayor-envisions-private-residences-housing-migrants">house migrants</a> in their places of residence.

In addition, an estimated <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/05/15/1-5m-gotaways-have-slipped-into-the-us-under-biden-three-times-as-many-as-during-3-years-of-trump/">1.5 million gotaways</a> — illegal immigrants known to be in the country who have yet to be caught — have made it into the United States during the Biden administration. The figure is three times higher than the total number of estimated gotaways for the last three years of the Trump administration.
Meanwhile, a recent <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/hosting-migrants-poll-2023-05-21/">poll</a> from CBS News found that 63% of Americans <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/weve-been-abandoned-border-ranchers-recount-chaos-on-southern-border">disapprove</a> of Biden’s handling of the United States border, while only 37% say that they approve.

Approximately 50 places of worship in New York City will house foreign nationals who have recently migrated to the United States. 
Each location will accommodate 19 single adult males starting in July, FOX5 <a href="https://www.fox5ny.com/news/nyc-migrant-crisis-houses-of-worship-host-migrants-july">reported</a>. The city expects almost 1,000 migrants will be sheltered in these places of worship by August. New York City will also open five daytime centers to provide the foreign nationals with legal assistance and other services. 
&#8220;It’s a first for the city, it’s the first for us,&#8221; Pastor Gilford Monrose, the executive director of the NYC Office of Faith-Based and Community Partnerships, remarked.
New York City will spend $85 a night to house each foreign national, plus additional costs like laundry services and security. A spokesperson for Democratic Mayor Eric Adams said it would cost roughly $125 per night for each migrant after factoring in all costs.  
&#8220;No matter what faith you practice, caring for those in need is part of every spiritual tradition,” said Adams. “I’m proud that through this new partnership with New York Disaster Interfaith Services, New York City’s faith community will be able to provide shelter to asylum seekers in need at houses of worship throughout the five boroughs.”
The city currently spends an average of $380 a day per migrant, for a total of $1.2 billion per year, for housing and other services. The costs are expected to more than double to $2.9 billion by next year. Monrose said using the places of worship would be “much more cost-effective” than the current strategy. 
It is unclear how long the houses of worship will be used to shelter foreign nationals, as each location has a different contract with the city.

Authorities in California are investigating who is behind the transportation of 16 migrants who ended up on the doorstep of a diocese in Sacramento Friday after being flown on a private charter jet from New Mexico. 
The Venezuelan and Colombian migrants entered the United States in El Paso and had been processed by American immigration officials with court dates for asylum claims, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/texas-migrants-flown-california-6bbd3a8a72b2a4438e1f5f163b12f780" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to the Associated Press. After crossing, “individuals representing a private contractor” offered to get them to their final destination, said Eddie Carmona, campaign director for PICO California, a nonprofit that <a href="https://picocalifornia.org/who-we-are/">describes</a> itself as &#8220;spiritually-rooted individuals who take action for racial and economic justice in California.&#8221; From El Paso, the migrants were transported to New Mexico and then to California, ending up at the Roman Catholic Diocese of Sacramento. 
&#8220;They were lied to and intentionally deceived,&#8221; <a href="https://abc7news.com/sacramento-migrants-texas-california/13340619/">said</a> Carmona.
No politician or group has claimed responsibility for the transportation of the migrants, the Los Angeles Times <a href="https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2023-06-03/california-investigating-who-sent-16-migrants-from-texas-to-doorstep-of-sacramento-diocese" target="_blank" rel="noopener">notes</a>. California Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom said he met with some migrants alongside California Democratic Attorney General Rob Bonta, who said authorities &#8220;can confirm these individuals were in possession of documentation purporting to be from the government of the State of Florida.”
“We are working closely with the Mayor’s office, along with local and nonprofit partners to ensure the people who have arrived are treated with respect and dignity, and get to their intended destination as they pursue their immigration cases,” Newsom said in a <a href="https://www.gov.ca.gov/2023/06/03/governor-newsom-statement-on-migrant-arrivals-in-california/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a>. 
“My Administration is also working with the California Department of Justice to investigate the circumstances around who paid for the group’s travel and whether the individuals orchestrating this trip misled anyone with false promises or have violated any criminal laws, including kidnapping,” Newsom added. 
While admitting he was still investigating and collecting evidence, Bonta suggested the incident could be “state-sanctioned kidnapping.&#8221; He added, &#8220;We must condemn the cruelty and hateful rhetoric of those &#8230; who refuse to recognize humanity.&#8221;

A nurse looking after an 8-year-old immigrant girl who died in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/border-patrol" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Border Patrol</a> custody last month denied multiple requests to take the girl to a hospital.
The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/u-s-customs-and-border-protection" target="_blank" rel="noopener">U.S. Customs and Border Protection</a> (CBP) released a <a href="https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/speeches-and-statements/update-death-custody-8-year-old-harlingen-texas-0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> Thursday on some preliminary findings in its investigation into the death of Anadith Tanay Reyes Alvarez of Panama. Reyes Alvarez died last month after days of serious illness, a fever of nearly 105 degrees, and appearing to suffer a seizure, according to CBP.
The investigation is still ongoing, and the facts revealed in the initial report are subject to change, the agency noted.
Border Patrol kept Reyes Alvarez and her family in custody for about a week until the 8-year-old’s death on May 17. During that time, Reyes Alvarez was overseen by contracted medical workers who administered a number of treatments to the ailing child, but did not send her to a hospital until her last day when she appeared to have a seizure and became unresponsive.
Reyes Alvarez “suffered from sickle cell anemia” and “had a history of congenital heart disease.” The medical workers who oversaw her were not aware and were never made aware of her conditions, according to CBP.
On multiple occasions, Reyes Alvarez’s mother requested the child be taken to a hospital for treatment.
“During the day on May 17, the girl was seen by a nurse practitioner on four occasions after complaining of a stomachache, nausea, and difficulty breathing. The contracted nurse practitioner reported checking the girl’s heart rate and blood oxygen saturation with a pulse oximeter during each visit with normal findings, and administering Ondansetron (Zofran) for nausea at 9:33 a.m.,” CBP reported about events on the day of the child’s death.
“The nurse practitioner also reported denying three or four requests from the girl’s mother for an ambulance to be called or for her to be taken to the hospital,” the report added. “Another contracted medical employee reported having brought a pile of documents and a bottle of folic acid tablets from the family’s property to the nurse practitioner at approximately 10:30 a.m. The nurse practitioner declined to review the papers but did agree to the mother’s request to administer one folic acid tablet to her daughter.”

Reyes Alvarez died a week after the U.S. southern border experienced historic numbers of people coming across ahead of the official end of Title 42 on May 11. The number of immigrants <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/mayorkas-says-border-patrol-encounters-down-by-half-since-title-42-expired" target="_blank" rel="noopener">entering</a> the U.S. illegally in the week before Title 42’s end exceeded well over 10,000 on multiple days. The flood packed federal facilities and border communities attempting to care for the migrants.

Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita is leading an 18-state lawsuit against the Biden administration over its handling of the border crisis.
The <a href="https://content.govdelivery.com/attachments/INAG/2023/05/31/file_attachments/2513571/Lawful%20Pathways%20Filed%20Complaint.pdf">lawsuit</a> specifically focuses on a new policy called the “<a href="https://www.dhs.gov/news/2023/05/11/fact-sheet-circumvention-lawful-pathways-final-rule">Circumvention of Lawful Pathways</a>,” which the Department of Homeland Security says intends to “expand safe and orderly pathways for migrants to lawfully enter the United States.” The rule was put in place following the expiration of Title 42 in early May and led to a massive influx at the southern border that the Biden administration has <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/border-app-releases-almost-80000-foreign-nationals-into-u-s-in-last-four-months">struggled</a> to contain.
The lawsuit argues that the policy, which is also referred to as the Circumvention Rule, does not attempt to resolve the border issue but rather “tries to define the problem away by re-characterizing what would be illegal crossings as ‘lawful pathways.&#8217;”
It also claims that the Circumvention Rule is “​​a half measure and a smoke screen” that is “riddled with exceptions” before going on to charge that “it is part of the Biden Administration’s broader effort to obfuscate the true situation at the Southwest Border.”
The lawsuit specifically charges that the purpose of the Circumvention Rule is to encourage “an increasing number of migrants’ to use the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/border-app-releases-almost-80000-foreign-nationals-into-u-s-in-last-four-months">CBP One app</a> to make bogus asylum claims, all while avoiding the bad optics of crowds of illegal aliens” lining up along the border.
“In a truly Orwellian twist, the federal government has depicted this latest measure as a tool for reducing illegal immigration,” Rokita said in a press release. &#8220;This new rule would make it even easier to illegally immigrate into the United States.”
Rokita also pointed out that the border has seen record numbers of illegal crossings.

 “We&#8217;re now seeing more than 10,000 illegal border crossings occurring within some 24-hour periods,&#8221; he said. “These are the highest numbers ever, and a large portion of these people are hardened criminals and cartel members. We cannot long endure this kind of invasion.”
While the effort is being led by Rokita, the other states that have joined the lawsuit include Tennessee, North Dakota, Alaska, Mississippi, South Carolina, Arkansas, Florida, Idaho, Iowa, Kentucky, Virginia, New Hampshire, Utah, Wyoming, Montana, Missouri, and Oklahoma.
A recent <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/hosting-migrants-poll-2023-05-21/">poll</a> from CBS News found that 63% of Americans disapprove of the Biden administration’s handling of the border, while 37% say they approve.

Almost 80,000 foreign nationals have entered the United States in the last four months through an online application.
The CBP One app, which allows foreign nationals to schedule appointments at ports of entry to apply for asylum, was <a href="https://www.americanimmigrationcouncil.org/research/cbp-one-overview">established</a> as the &#8220;primary method for migrants arriving at the U.S. border seeking asylum&#8221; by the Biden administration in January 2023.
Between January and the end of April, over 79,000 foreign nationals have been <a href="https://apnews.com/article/border-asylum-rules-immigration-title-42-biden-e77b4730682d889a2376b868c2fcac18">admitted</a> into the United States through the application, according to the Associated Press. Meanwhile, an average of 1,070 foreign nationals scheduled appointments at ports of entry every day between May 12 and May 19. 
The Department of Homeland Security told the AP that the app cuts out “unscrupulous smugglers who profit from vulnerable migrants.”
The state of Texas is <a href="https://apnews.com/article/texas-paxton-cbpone-immigration-border-asylum-5ad591deb956bb192f84c13b64620fc0">suing the Biden administration</a> over the application, with Attorney General Ken Paxton accusing the administration of intentionally enabling illegal immigration. “The Biden Administration deliberately conceived of this phone app with the goal of illegally pre-approving more foreign aliens to enter the country and go where they please once they arrive,” Paxton charged in a press release.
More 99% of foreign nationals who applied to enter the United States through an exception to Title 42 expulsions via the CBP One app <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/99-percent-migrants-sought-title-42-exception-cbp-one-app-approved">had their applications approved </a>, a CBP spokesperson said, according to Fox News. Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) blasted the CBP One app, calling it a “concierge service for illegal immigrants.”

In addition to the estimated 80,000 foreign nationals who have entered the U.S. through the CBP One app, an estimated <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/05/15/1-5m-gotaways-have-slipped-into-the-us-under-biden-three-times-as-many-as-during-3-years-of-trump/">1.5 million</a> &#8220;gotaways&#8221; — illegal immigrants that have entered the United States without being apprehended by law enforcement — under the Biden administration. Roughly 415,000 total &#8220;gotaways&#8221; were reported during the last three years of the Trump administration.

U.S. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/border-crisis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Border</a> Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz will retire from his career as a federal officer after serving in the U.S. government for three decades.
Ortiz made the official announcement in an email sent to staff on Tuesday.
&#8220;After a 32-year Border Patrol career spanning multiple Sectors, HQ tours, and overseas assignments in Afghanistan, I have decided to retire from federal service on June 30th,&#8221; he <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2023/05/30/border-patrol-chief-resign/">wrote</a>. &#8220;I have proudly served in the Armed Forces and across this country and enjoyed every opportunity I have had to work for and on behalf of the American people.&#8221;
Ortiz wrote that he can retire &#8220;at ease, knowing we have a tremendous uniformed and professional workforce, strong relationships with our union partners, and outstanding leaders who will continue to tirelessly advocate for you each day.&#8221;
&#8220;Throughout the years, my level of commitment to the mission and our great nation has never wavered,&#8221; he added. &#8220;Serving as your Chief has been one of the greatest honors and privileges I have had and please know I will always champion this agency, its mission, and the people who make the Border Patrol everything that it is.&#8221;
The announcement comes after years of the unrelenting border crisis that President Joe Biden unleashed on the U.S. southern border with a reversal of Trump-era policies that encouraged millions of migrants to enter the U.S. illegally.
Ortiz testified to Congress earlier this year that the Department of Homeland Security does not have operational control of the U.S. southern border under Biden, a claim that is directly at odds with a statement from DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
Ortiz made the remarks during a House Homeland Security Committee hearing in McAllen, Texas, in response to a question from Chairman Mark Green about security on the U.S.-Mexico border.
<a class="c-link c-link--focus-visible" href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://onelink.to/dwapp" data-sk="tooltip_parent" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-96097">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP</a>
“Does DHS have operational control of our entire border?” Green asked.
“No, sir,” Ortiz responded.
Behind Green was a poster board that showed that “operational control,” as defined by U.S. law, is “the prevention of all unlawful entries into the United States, including entries by terrorists, other unlawful aliens, instruments of terrorism, narcotics and other contraband.”
Green then played a video during the hearing showing Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) questioning Mayorkas last year over whether the U.S. had operational control of the southern border. “Yes, we do,” Mayorkas claimed. “Yes, we do.”
Green then asked Ortiz whether he thought Mayorkas was lying, to which Ortiz responded that operational control used to be how officials measured whether or not they were being successful. He said that their new strategy was “geared towards mission advantage.”
Ortiz again confirmed that DHS does not have operational control of the southern border, but, when pressed over whether Mayorkas was lying, Ortiz politely tried to sidestep the question in an apparent effort to not say anything negative about his boss.

Homeland Security Chief Mayorkas Visits Texas Border Ahead Of Lifting Of Title 42

U.S. Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz To Retire

Congressmen <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jim-jordan" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jim Jordan</a> (R-OH) and Lance Gooden (R-TX) issued a joint letter calling attention to the potential use of federal funds to enable illegal immigration into the United States.
The letter, which was issued to the National Board of FEMA’s Emergency Food and Shelter program, specifically points to the role of federally-funded NGOs in the immigration process.
“Since President Biden took office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials have encountered over five million illegal aliens. This is a direct consequence of the Biden Administration’s policies,” a <a href="https://gooden.house.gov/2023/5/release-gooden-jordan-demand-transparency-from-united-way-in-the-midst-of-border-crisis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">press release</a> from Gooden states. 
It goes on to state, “nearly two million illegal aliens have been released into the U.S. in accordance with Department of Homeland Security (DHS) policy.” The press release also highlights the role of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) like United Way that receive federal grants and “reportedly use DHS grant funding through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to provide aid to illegal aliens.”
Meanwhile, the letter points out that United Way and other NGO’s are “receiving millions of taxpayer dollars to provide free food, lodging, and transportation for illegal aliens across the U.S.”
Gooden asserted that the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/mommy-theres-bad-guys-at-my-window-border-patrol-wife-describes-dangers-chaos-on-southern-border" target="_blank" rel="noopener">drastic surge</a> in illegal immigration is “fueled in part by NGOs like those on the EFSP National Board” before urging NGOs involved in immigration to “prioritize transparency and fiscal responsibility.”
“We will remain vigilant in our oversight of federal grants, to safeguard against any misuse of funds that could further exacerbate the current border crisis,” Gooden also stated.
In an earlier letter from Rep. Gooden, he stated, “Taxpayer-funded non-governmental organizations (NGO) play a disturbing role in the inflow and spread of illegal immigrants throughout the country.”

“Not only do many of these NGOs receive millions in grant funding from the federal government, but they also receive substantial subsidies — all at the expense of the American taxpayer,” his May 23 letter adds. He also charged that many nonprofits act as “resettlement agencies to secretly transport and lodge undocumented migrants” by “bussing and flying illegal aliens to a destination of their choice and housing them in hotels.”
Recent reports have found that the Department of Health and Human Services spent approximately <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/u-s-spent-13-billion-sponsoring-unaccompanied-minors-since-2012" target="_blank" rel="noopener">$13 billion</a> sponsoring unaccompanied minors left at the southern border with Mexico since 2012.
Various NGOs tasked with caring for unaccompanied minors, including Southwest Key Programs and Baptist Child and Family Services, have received grants from the federal government. Despite the large sum spent on safeguarding children, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/25/us/unaccompanied-migrant-child-workers-exploitation.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&amp;referringSource=articleShare" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reports</a> indicate that as many as 85,000 unaccompanied minors have gone missing. 
Other reports have found that illegal immigration costs United States taxpayers approximately <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/taxpayers-shell-out-151-billion-each-year-due-to-illegal-immigration-analysis-says" target="_blank" rel="noopener">$151 billion</a> every year.

Hundred Dollar Bills

Reps. Gooden, Jordan, Demand Answers On Federal Funding Of Illegal Immigration

The share of the American <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/jobs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">workforce</a> composed of foreign-born workers rose to record levels last year, a phenomenon which comes as <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/immigration" target="_blank" rel="noopener">immigration</a> surges in the wake of worldwide <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/lockdowns" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lockdowns</a> and as the nation’s <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/economy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">economy</a> grapples with <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/labor-shortage" target="_blank" rel="noopener">labor shortages</a>.
Workers born in other nations comprised 18.1% of the workforce in 2022, according to <a href="https://www.bls.gov/news.release/forbrn.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">data</a> released last week by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, marking an increase from 17.4% in 2021. Hispanics account for nearly half of the foreign-born labor force, while Asians account for one-quarter of the foreign-born labor force. Average weekly earnings for foreign-born workers were $945 last year, while weekly earnings for their native-born counterparts were $1,087.
Native-born workers were more likely than foreign-born workers to hold positions in management, professional, and sales occupations, while the latter were more likely to work in service, natural resources, construction, logistics, and maintenance. Labor force participation among native-born males was 66.0% compared to 77.4% for foreign-born men.
The heightened level of foreign-born workers as a share of the overall workforce occurs as the United States and other nations reverse public health mandates that slowed immigration and temporary residency. One <a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2022/12/01/after-declining-early-in-the-covid-19-outbreak-immigrant-naturalizations-in-the-u-s-are-rising-again/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">analysis</a> from Pew Research Center found that there has been a rise in “the number of immigrants receiving green cards as new lawful permanent residents, as well as a partial rebound in arrivals by foreign students, tourists, and other lawful temporary migrants.”
Illegal immigration has meanwhile <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-heads-to-beach-after-shattering-all-time-record-with-83000-illegal-aliens-storming-border-in-1-week" target="_blank" rel="noopener">soared</a> to record levels over the past two years: as many as 5.5 million migrants have crossed into the United States under the Biden administration, according to <a href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/fair-analysis-5-5-million-illegal-aliens-have-crossed-our-borders-since-biden-took-officehow-is-secretary-mayorkas-still-employed-301658734.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">data</a> from the Federation for American Immigration Reform. Critics of immigration policies forwarded by the White House have asserted that lackluster emphasis on securing the border and increased resources for migrants who enter the country have worsened the crisis.
Several cities and at least one state <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/leading-republicans-decry-biden-border-crisis-as-title-42-ends" target="_blank" rel="noopener">declared</a> emergencies this month as officials prepare for the conclusion of Title 42, a statute which permitted authorities to quickly turn away migrants at the southern border on public health grounds. Large groups of illegal immigrants have been recorded amassing at the border and seeking to enter the country between ports of entry.
The labor market over the past three years has widely been considered a bright spot in an otherwise dismal economic landscape marked by record inflation and persistent supply chain bottlenecks. Low labor force participation across the economy, on the other hand, has <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/americans-continue-to-opt-out-of-the-workforce" target="_blank" rel="noopener">worsened</a> both trends as businesses raise wages to fill their payrolls and attract or retain more workers. Excess retirements amid the lockdown-induced recession have been <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/federal-reserve-chair-jerome-powell-discusses-future-slowdown-of-rate-hikes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">identified</a> as a factor contributing to decreased labor force participation.

There were 30.0 million foreign-born workers in the United States as of last month, according to <a href="https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/LNU02073395" target="_blank" rel="noopener">data</a> from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, eclipsing the 27.7 million workers counted in the month before the lockdowns and significantly surpassing 22.0 million workers three years ago.

Foreign-born workers composed some 15.0% of the workforce in 2005, according to more <a href="https://www.bls.gov/news.release/archives/forbrn_04142006.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">data</a> from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
