‘Stop The Crimes’: Congressional Leaders Reveal How They Will Usher Immigration Agenda Under Trump Admin

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

Congressional leaders in both the House and Senate revealed what they have in store for border enforcement and immigration reform if former President Donald Trump reenters the White House.

Beefing up border security and cracking down on interior enforcement are all on the table if Trump is reelected in November, according to several GOP lawmakers who spoke with the Daily Caller News Foundation. Sen Ted Cruz and Rep. Troy Nehls of Tennessee, along with Rep. Mark Green of Tennessee, have zeroed in on the issue in Congress and say they are ready and waiting to assist the incoming Trump administration.

“Every day we hear about illegal aliens assaulting or murdering another American,” Cruz said to the DCNF. “I’ve been fighting for justice for Jocelyn Nungaray, a 12-year-old from Houston who was brutally murdered by two illegal aliens released into Texas under the administration of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.”

“Next Congress I look forward to passing and to having President Trump sign into law my Justice for Jocelyn Act,” Cruz continued. “This legislation is aimed at ensuring that no child and no family ever again experiences what happened to Jocelyn.”

Nungaray was a 12-year-old Houston girl who was allegedly sexually assaulted and murdered in June by two Venezuelan men. Federal immigration authorities say the two men entered the United States unlawfully before their arrest for Nungaray’s brutal killing.

The Justice for Jocelyn Act would require the Department of Homeland Security to “exhaust all reasonable efforts” to keep an illegal migrant in custody before resorting to releasing them into the interior of the country, according to the legislation. Should an illegal migrant be released, however, the bill would call for continuous GPS monitoring until their removal from the country or the completion of their immigration proceedings.

The legislation also would empower federal immigration officials to immediately deport illegal migrants who violate their terms of their release — a proposal that could potentially prevent an incredible number of crimes by illegal migrants who repeatedly encounter law enforcement.

“Kamala Harris and Joe Biden have released dangerous illegal aliens into our country that have gone on to take the lives of American citizens,” Nehls stated to the DCNF. “I have introduced pieces of legislation that would remove illegal aliens who fail to comply with their release order and to improve the mandatory tracking and detention of illegal aliens for the entire process.”

“Too many Americans have lost their lives at the hands of illegal aliens that Kamala Harris and Joe Biden let into our country,” Nehls continued. “Congress must do everything to ensure that Americans are put first, not illegal aliens who shouldn’t even be here in the first place.”

Nehls, whose district largely covers the Houston suburbs, is a sponsor for the Justice for Jocelyn Act on the House side. Like Cruz, the Republican congressman has also ripped the Biden-Harris administration for the release of illegal migrants when there has been detention space available within Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facilities.

“In a second Trump administration, the House Committee on Homeland Security will do everything possible to help the United States return to an era of secure borders and robust interior enforcement,” Green, who serves as chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, stated to the DCNF. “Ending the Biden-Harris border crisis will require two things — policy changes to end the flow of inadmissible aliens into our country, and more funding for interior enforcement to demonstrate that there are consequences to entering illegally.”

With Green as its chairman, the House Homeland Committee has remained one of the Biden-Harris administration’s fiercest critics, demanding answers on a slate of immigration-related controversies, such as the vetting process that went into the entry of an Afghan recently arrested for allegedly plotting an Election Day terrorist attack, the alleged failure of the administration to properly vet foreign nationals before they boarded domestic flights, the handling of unaccompanied alien children into the country, among numerous other border issues.

“While we don’t control the budget process, I believe that providing massive increases for ICE detention and removal operations will be paramount, and I will be vocal about their necessity,” Green continued.

All three lawmakers have also been presented with the 2024 Congressional Champions of Interior Enforcement award by the National Immigration Center for Enforcement (NICE) for their legislative efforts. NICE has championed hawkish border policy in Washington, D.C., and tracked data that demonstrates the consequences of lax enforcement — such as when the group collected data on how substantially fewer criminal illegal migrants are being removed from the U.S. under the Biden-Harris administration compared to Trump’s time in office.

There were 423,102 deportations of criminal aliens under the first three fiscal years of the Trump administration, with that number falling to 134,617 during the same time period under the current administration, NICE uncovered. Those numbers marked a 74% decrease in removals altogether.

NICE advocates for the end of catch-and-release of illegal migrants at the border, the abolition of sanctuary city laws, requiring all employers in the country to use E-Verify, among numerous other hawkish policies.

“President Trump will be ready, Congress just needs to provide the resources,” RJ Hauman, president of NICE, said to the DCNF. He added that more detention beds are needed and called for “immediate” GPS monitoring of every illegal migrant on the non-detained docket in order to properly conduct sweeping deportations.

“Our champions of interior enforcement will be sure to lead the charge on Capitol Hill,” Hauman said.

The lawmakers said they are ready to work with their allies and hit the ground running if Trump occupies the Oval Office in January.

“I am deeply grateful to the National Immigration Center for Enforcement for all their work pushing back on the open-borders, anti-enforcement policies of the Biden-Harris administration, and to inform the American people about the damage these policies have caused,” Green said of the organization. “I encourage my colleagues on the Hill to consider partnering with them in pursuit of creative and effective policy solutions to this self-inflicted crisis.”

“I’ve been proud to work with some great allies on this bill, including the National Immigration Center for Enforcement,” Cruz said, referring to his Justice for Jocelyn Act. “Together, we will act to stop the crimes enabled by this Biden-Harris administration.”

Biden Nominates Activist Judge Who Put Trans Rapist in Women’s Prison; State Judiciary Hearing Erupts

/in , , , , , , , , /by

The radical left agenda, fully adopted by the Biden administration and Biden’s cronies, is an increasing danger to Americans. According to the group Citizens Renewing America, Netburn is a radical leftist judge who “has a history of inserting her radical gender ideology in the court room.” The group further reported about Netburn being questioned at a Senate Judiciary hearing:

When questioned by Senators during the hearing, Judge Netburn was not able to answer why she recommended that a male serial rapist who was convicted of molesting a 9-year boy and sexual assaulting a 17-year old girl and was later convicted of possessing and sending child pornography, be sent to a women’s prison.

The Courthouse News Service described the Senate Judiciary Committee as descending “into a screaming match.”

Watch Senator Cruz question Netburn:

Netburn became Biden’s 200th federal court nominee, “putting the White House well on track to surpass the number of lifetime judges appointed by former President Donald Trump.”

That’s not all Netburn is known for. In 2020, after Biden was declared president but while Trump was still in office, Netburn signed an order “that compelled Google to secretly hand over to criminal investigators information from the email account” of the Project Veritas journalist “who had obtained Ashley Biden’s diary.” At the same time, Netburn forbade Google from letting the journalist know anything about the order, thus preventing Project Veritas “from fighting the move.”

Now Netburn gets nominated for the lifetime position.

“Biden nominates judge who put transgender rapist in women’s prison,” by Susan Ferrechio, Washington Times, May 28, 2024:

Judge Sarah Netburn, nominated by President Biden to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, faces a rocky path to confirmation after Republicans exposed her decision to move a sex offender who is a transgender woman to a women’s prison.

Judge Netburn, who has served as a magistrate judge for 12 years, disregarded the recommendation of the Bureau of Prisons and ordered prison officials to move July Justine Shelby, who was imprisoned under the name William McClain, to a women’s prison.

Republicans tore into her decision at a heated hearing this month, labeling Judge Netburn a political activist who twisted the Constitution to justify moving the prisoner and put vulnerable women in danger.

Sen. John Kennedy, Louisiana Republican, scoffed at Judge Netburn’s reasoning for moving the prisoner, who she said had “serious medical needs” that were not being met at the men’s facility.

“The Board of Prisons said, ‘What planet did you parachute in from? You’re going to a male prison with this kind of record,’’’ Mr. Kennedy said in response. “And you sent him to a female prison, did you? You said that the Board of Prisons was trying to violate Ms. Shelby, former Mr. McClain’s, constitutional right, didn’t you?”

Judge Netburn’s nomination now hinges on a Senate committee vote that hasn’t been scheduled and, if she clears that hurdle, a Senate floor vote…..

“That’s something that the voters need to make clear, that that this is something that they’re going to hold them accountable for, that we’re not going to allow judges to be activists and stuff men into women’s prisons under the guise of the Constitution,” May Mailman, director of Independent Women’s Law Center, told The Washington Times.

“She says that the Constitution requires men to be housed with women, which is just absurd,” Ms. Mailman said….

Bill reintroduced to designate Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization

/in , , , , , , /by

This is timely, as Biden’s handlers appear to be once again aiding the Brotherhood, as Obama did during his first two terms as well.

Republican Senators Reintroduce Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist Designation Act

Asharq Al-Awsat, November 6, 2021:

A draft bill presented by several US Republican Senators to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization sparked controversy, as many officials warn of its repercussions on Washington’s relations with several friendly and allied countries.

US Senators Ted Cruz, Jim Inhofe, and Ron Johnson led a move that reintroduced the Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist Designation Act.

The bill urges the Department of State to use its statutory authority to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO).

Cruz said that it’s time that “we join our allies in the Arab world in formally recognizing the Muslim Brotherhood for what they truly are—a terrorist organization.”

“I’m proud to reintroduce this bill to urge the Biden administration to designate them as such and advance our nation’s fight against terrorism.”

The Senator stressed that “we have a duty to hold the Muslim Brotherhood accountable for their role in financing and promoting terrorism across the Middle East.”

Earlier, Cruz criticized the Biden administration and Democratic senators from the House Committee on Appropriations for withholding $130 million worth of military aid to Egypt until Cairo released some Muslim Brotherhood political prisoners.

He also “blasted” President Biden’s nominee for Assistant Secretary of State for Near East Affairs, Barbara Leaf, slamming the Senate Democrats for trying to release “Muslim Brotherhood propagandist” who is “anti-semite and hate preacher.”

US and Egypt will launch the strategic dialogue on Monday with the two delegations led by Foreign Ministers Anthony Blinken and Sameh Shoukry in Washington.

However, Republican and Democratic lawmakers objected to such bills, saying that classifying the group as terrorists may not be helpful because it is no longer a unified organization.

They warn that such classification might harm the US relations with many friendly and allied countries, led by Turkey. They also note that some Muslim Brotherhood affiliates who are not classified as extremists are members of Arab governments and parliaments….

A Citizen is One Thing — But Natural Born

/in , , , , /by

Written by Mario Apuzzo, Constitutional expert, defining Natural Born Citizen as the Founders meant. He concludes the only definition is:

A child born in a country to parents who were its citizens at the time of birth, both right of blood and right of soil merge into the child at the moment of birth to create a unity of citizenship and allegiance only to the United States and to no other nation.

Below are some excerpts from Apuzzo’s very recent writing on the subject:

It is treason upon the Constitution and the Framers’ command that for the sake of the national security of the republic, for persons born after the adoption of the Constitution, no person except a natural born citizen is to be eligible to be President and Commander in Chief of the Military, to interpret the natural born citizen clause out of the Constitution and replace it with how we may today define under the positive laws of the Fourteenth Amendment or naturalization Acts of Congress a citizen of the United States at birth, a person who, if not also a natural born citizen, is not born with sole allegiance to the United States.

[ … ]

With these principles to guide us, we can only conclude that de facto President Barack Obama, Senator Ted Cruz, Senator Marco Rubio, and Governor Bobby Jindal are all not natural born citizens. None of them were born in the United States to parents who were both U.S. citizens at the time of their children’s birth.

[ … ]

Obama, assuming he was born in the United States, is a citizen of the United States at birth, but only by virtue of the Fourteenth Amendment. He is not and cannot be a natural born citizen under the common law because while he was presumably born in the United States to a U.S. citizen mother, he was born to a non-U.S. citizen father.

[ … ]

Cruz was born in Canada, presumably to a U.S. citizen mother and a non-U.S. citizen father. He can be a citizen of the United States at birth, but only by virtue of a naturalization Act of Congress (section 301(a)(7) of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952). He is not and cannot be a natural born citizen under the common law because, while he was born to a U.S. citizen mother, he was not born in the United States and he was born to a non-U.S. citizen father.

[ ,,, ]

Rubio and Jindal were born in the United States to two non-U.S. citizen parents. They are both citizens of the United States at birth, but only by virtue of the Fourteenth Amendment. They are not and cannot be natural born citizens under the common law because, while they were born in the United States, they were born to two non-U.S. citizen parents.

CAIR, Left fail to strongarm Ted Cruz into pulling out of event with Robert Spencer

/in , , /by

Ted Cruz and I were both featured speakers at the Young America’s Foundation’s New England Freedom Conference in Nashua, New Hampshire this weekend, and the Leftists and Islamic supremacists were in an uproar: the Hamas-linked terror organization the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) demanded that Cruz withdraw from the event, and Mother Jones and Media Matters both published lengthy guilt-by-association pieces, wildly misstating and misrepresenting my views and trying to tar Cruz with positions that neither he nor I hold.

Cruz didn’t cave in to this pressure; both he and I spoke at the YAF event, and the media is still reeling from his refusal to submit to their dictates.The Hill said yesterday:

The speech was not without controversy — the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) asked him not to attend due to Robert Spencer’s appearance at the same event. Spencer is an author who has courted controversy over his criticism of Islam.

“Courted controversy.” Heh. Yeah, we’re going steady. And the Washington Post:

Cruz spoke at the Young America’s Foundation New England Freedom Dinner in Nashua. The Council on Islamic Relations asked Cruz not to appear because Robert Spencer, who co-founded an anti-Muslim group, was also appearing at the conference.

“Anti-Muslim group” — evidently the WaPo thinks it “anti-Muslim” to oppose jihad terror and the Sharia oppression of women, non-Muslims, gays, etc. That’s more revealing about them than about me.

This incident was yet another example of how the Hamas-linked Islamic supremacists of CAIR and their Useful Idiots in the Leftist media try, again and again and again, to bully and intimidate into silence not only anyone who speaks the truth about the jihad threat, but anyone remotely associated with them. With the Democrats already firmly in their camp, they’re trying now to secure the submission of the Republican Party.

It’s also an insight into the Left’s methodology: they smear, demonize and marginalize a target, and then use their own handiwork to do the same thing to someone else via guilt by association. Cruz deserves congratulations for standing firm.

Back in October 2005, Hillary Clinton and I spoke at the same event, and Hamas-linked CAIR was likewise furious. If these two wind up as the nominees, watch for this story to reappear regarding Cruz, but no one in the mainstream media will remember the Hillary one.

Ted Cruz: Other than Cigarette Smoking, the Pic is Accurate

/in , , /by

First Breitbart and then Time reported earlier today that mysterious photoshopped posters of Ted Cruz, showing the Texas Republican senator shirtless, with edgy tattoos, smoking a cigarette, were plastered around various locations in Los Angeles, like the Beverly Hilton Hotel, late Thursday night.

Time Magazine writes: Of course, Cruz is tattooed in poster form only. Some mischief-maker posted his photoshopped (we think!) image around town ahead of a speaking engagement for the congressmen at Beverly Hills’ Claremont Institute. The event was scheduled for Saturday night.

Likely a prank, the stunt prompted a tongue-and-cheek response from the Senator:

Ted_Cruz_Tweet.jpg

They think it’s prank? How much do we know about Ted Cruz, really? Could it be that this picture is actually a selfie texted from his phone to a mysterious Tea Party knockout, and his official bio is nothing more than a fictionalized alternative reality?

According to our sources, Ted Cruz is actually a twin brother of Chuck Norris, and his powers extend beyond the realm of what can be grasped by mere mortals.

We know for a fact that…

– When Al Gore invented the Internet, his inbox already contained three unread emails from Ted Cruz.

– Ted Cruz has a quadruple citizenship in the U.S., Canada, Middle-earth and Westeros.

– If you superimpose Ted Cruz’s fingerprints, the resulting image will be the Seal of the President of the United States.

– When Ted Cruz got bit by a rattle snake, the snake had to sign up for Obamacare but couldn’t get through the login screen and died after a week of pain and agony in front of the computer.

– Ted Cruz has already won the presidential election in 2016 with a roundhouse kick in the polls; the pollsters just haven’t developed the technology to look that far into the future.

Rep. Bill Posey (R-FL) calls for IRS Special Prosecutor

/in , , , /by

“Please join me, Senator Ted Cruz and others in calling for the appointment of an independent special prosecutor to investigate the IRS’s illegal targeting of conservative groups,” begins a letter sent to members of the US House of Representatives by Congressman Bill Posey (R- FL District 8).

The Posey letter notes, “This past spring, we learned that the IRS used inappropriate criteria to review Tea Party and other organizations applying for tax-exempt status based upon their names and policy positions. We further learned that IRS employees illegally released donor lists of other conservative organizations.”

“As of today, not a single employee has been indicted for this offense, and the Wall Street Journal reported that the FBI does not plan to file any criminal charges. Furthermore, Ms. Lerner has invoked her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee and refused to answer questions,” states Posey.

Americans are growing more concerned about a bureaucrat “culture of arrogance”. Time and again the President has failed to take action against those found to have violated their duties. It is AG Holder who is accountable to the People’s House and the people. President Obama during the interview with Bill O’Reilly stated there is not a “smidgen” of corruption at the IRS. Attorney Jay Sekulow, Chief Counsel for the American Center for Law and Justice, said in public testimony that the IRS scandal goes “as high as it gets.” When O’Reilly asked the President why he has not fired HHS Secretary Sebelius the President stated, “I promise you we hold people up and down the line accountable.” Apparently this does not apply to the IRS, either.

Posey concludes his letter with:

An independent special prosecutor must therefore be appointed to oversee the IRS investigation. Such a prosecutor must be given the independence to follow the facts wherever they may lead. He or she must both prosecute any and all criminal conduct and report to Congress and the American people what occurred, why it occurred, who knew about it, and what can be done to ensure it never happens again. Furthermore, this special prosecutor must be someone whose integrity is beyond reproach – and at a minimum, he or she must not be a major financial donor to either Democratic or Republican Party campaigns. The IRS, or any other agency, must not be used for political purposes.

I therefore ask that you join me in demanding that an independent special prosecutor be appointed to investigate the IRS’s illegal targeting of conservative groups.

To date the following members of the US House of Representatives have co-signed the Posey letter:

Robert Aderholt (AL-04); Andy Barr (KY-06); Kerry Bentivolio (MI-11); Jim Bridenstine (OK-1); Mo Brooks (AL-05); Michael Burgess (TX-26); Bradley Byrne (AL-01); Howard Coble (NC-06); Ron DeSantis (FL-06); Jeff Duncan (SC-04); Blake Farenthold (TX-27); Steve Fincher (TN-08); John Fleming (LA-04); Trent Franks (AZ-08); Louie Gohmert (TX-01); Paul Gosar (AZ-04); Tim Huelskamp (KS-01); Walter B. Jones (NC-3); Steve King (IA-04); James Lankford (OK-05); Robert Latta (OH-5); Billy Long (MO-07); Blaine Luetkemeyer (MO-03); Thomas Massie (KY-04); Tom McClintock (CA-04); Mick Mulvaney (SC-05); Alan Nunnelee (MS-01); Mike Rogers (AL-03); Thomas Rooney (FL-17); Matthew Salmon (AZ-05); Jason Smith (MO-8);Randy Weber (TX-14); Ted Yoho (FL-03)

If your Congressman is not on the list you may want to ask him or her: Why?
