  Recipe for fraud=low difficulty to commit it + low risk of getting caught or punished + high reward for committing it

  VP Harris not even going to the actual border. Just the airport and BP station - miles from the border. All on her way home to CA. This is theater. #BidenBorderCrisis

  Some members of Congress are trying to use false promises of “border security” to squeeze taxpayers for $60 billion more to send to Ukraine. If there is no change to Biden’s policy, then he will just use the money for more of the same. The House needs to demand policy changes!

  Senate Republicans are not “negotiating” w/ an honest broker when the Biden Admin goes to the Supreme Court to demand destroying TX property to welcome illegal aliens & encourage more mass illegal immigration. #NoDeal

  Didn’t they LOSE the “right” to vouch for employees when employers bypassed the legal, uncapped program available to them & hired them illegally?

  Remove temp. visa & green card holders too from Census count, not just illegal aliens. None can vote for U.S. Reps. or President, so none should be counted to apportion states for those purposes.

  Bravo, Trump Admin!! This tool is never used & it shows. It's not just foreign students who have the privilege of getting a visa to study here, but the univs also have the privilege of designation to accept foreign students.

  This administration is holding Harvard accountable for fostering violence, antisemitism, and coordinating with the Chinese Communist Party on its campus. It is a privilege, not a right, for universities to enroll foreign students and benefit from their higher tuition payments

  More excess "due process" after aliens are found deportable as charged: they stack asylum, withholding of removal, & multiple Conventn Against Torture (CAT)-based claims to delay or avoid deportation. CAT relief isn't even about whether an alien can stay here - it's just about
  
  EXCLUSIVE: We were with ICE & HSI Los Angeles as they arrested a Salvadoran alien w/ an active deportation order who has convictions for murder & attempted murder in LA County, but ICE may not be able to deport him due to a protection he got in the final days of the Biden admin.

  Pres Biden is inviting Chinese Communist Party to invade our open borders. Do we think CCP is stupid enuf NOT to take advantage of ability to send their assets right into our homeland? Who needs a spy balloon when CCP can just have their assets walk across Biden's open border?

  Why isn’t there more media coverage of this?
  
  Portland (July 4) — Shocking scenes outside the ICE facility as federal officers protecting the building use tear gas after Antifa rioters tried setting the occupied building on fire again.

  Child exploitation. Remember this every time the Left tries to guilt the Right into doing something “for the children.”
• 
  Imagine how much lower tuition would be if univs just stuck to legit education & valuable degrees & dumped this garbage?
  
  Let that sink in: there are 71 political commissars at Maryland. They are not only incredibly costly, but they are there to enforce a political ideology that is both racist and antisemitic.

  Where are the pilot unions if pilots too afraid to speak up? This won't end if fear wins out.
