A 32 % decline in cases filed with the EOIR will result in a corresponding decline in removals for FY 2012 .
It is clear—abundantly clear—that ICE is not replacing every DREAM Act deportation with a criminal alien .
Otherwise there would not be a decline in initial filings of removals with the EOIR .

LA Times February 24, 2012 by Paloma Esquivel Number Of Deportation Cases Drops By Nearly A Third, Report Says The drop recorded in the last three months of 2011 may reflect the administration's plan to focus its deportation efforts by weighing discretionary factors, including whether the person is a veteran, came to the United States as a child or is a college student.

Filings are typically lower during the holiday months, but even adjusted for the seasonal drop-off the numbers are significantly lower, according to the authors.
And ICE is full of excuses for the fail:
The report, said ICE spokeswoman Gillian Christensen, is focused only on submissions for deportations made to immigration courts. "It ignores the fact that ICE regularly removes individuals without going through formal [immigration court] proceedings utilizing voluntary, administrative, expedited and stipulated removals as well the reinstatement of old removal orders," she said.
Of note is that ICE does not use expedited removal (ER), only CBP uses ER authority, and only for arriving aliens and those aliens arrested soon after an illegal entry. ICE has always ignored its authority to use ER against aliens in general and criminal aliens specifically.
An ICE spokesman also restates the myth that ICE can only remove 400,000 aliens per year. Something that it has never accomplished anyway.
Congress has provided enough funds for the ICE to deport about 400,000 people annually, and the administration has said it intends to focus those resources on cases deemed high-priority, including those involving national security, serious felons, individuals with lengthy criminal records, known gang members and others who pose a threat to public safety. "We're being smart about how we enforce the law. We're doing it in a way that makes sense and in a way that uses tax dollars effectively," said ICE spokeswoman Barbara Gonzalez. "Law enforcement has to have set priorities because the American public doesn't want us to just arrest the first 400,000 people we can remove. Why arrest the first 400,000 people when you can arrest those who are threats to the community?"
In fact there is no limit to the number of aliens who can be placed in removal proceedings, as the costs to ICE are fixed, as Special Agents and Deportation Officers are not paid overtime, but must work all hours as assigned, with the main cost to ICE being fixed salaries.
ICE employees who work on arrests and removals are paid the same regardless of the number of arrests they make and the number of cases filed with the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR), the immigration "courts." It costs nothing for ICE to file a case with the EOIR. EOIR must accept and process the case. The only effect is that processing times for removal are extended by the filing of more cases.
ICE is actually increasing the cost of removals by wasting man-hours of ICE attorneys by having those attorneys review cases already filed with the intent of dismissing those cases when they could be in court trying deportation cases. It is of no cost benefit for ICE attorneys to spend time deciding to drop cases already filed.
If ICE started using Expedited Removal it could significantly increase removals at little or no cost. However, ICE refuses still to use its ER authority. In many cases it could actually decrease the cost of removals by using ER, as today it continues to allow many aliens to use the EOIR system when they are liable to be removed with ER.
It should not be forgotten though that of the 11-20 million illegal aliens in the United States, removing under 400,000 per year is not an accomplishment. Most illegal aliens, like those working at Pacific Steel, such as Jesus Navarro, or those testifying at public hearings before State legislatures, such as Keish Kim, are known to ICE, yet nothing is done. There would be no cost to ICE to place both in removal proceedings. Yet ICE ignores both. One of who will be costing taxpayers millions in the near future.
The import however of the collapse of removal proceedings in the first part of FY 2012 though means that many fewer than 400,000 aliens will be deported by the end of FY 2012, which will coincide with the election in November. The question is will Romney use this? It also gives the lie to the ICE claim that it will continue to remove aliens at the same rate.

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals is America’s most reliably liberal court. It’s the source of a number of what court watchers call ”circuit splits,” where one circuit will rule differently than the rest of America, and the Supreme Court has to resolve it.
That’s why it’s also the most-reversed circuit, and gets called things like the "Ninth Circus Court Of Schlemiels."
That's changing, under Trump and McConnell, who have been appointing conservative judges, so that Left-wing, anti-American judges are only a majority, not a supermajority.

vdare--2020-02-23--Greyhound Moves To Protect Illegal Aliens

Thanks for nothing Carla Provost , first woman Chief of the United States Border Patrol .
For some inane reason , Provost issued a memorandum that informed Border Patrol Agents that they had no authority to board a commercial conveyance within 100 miles of the border to check for illegal aliens .
Well , the American Civil Liberties Union and the Democrat Attorney General of Washington got a hold of that , and threatened the Big Grey Dog with lawsuits , and Greyhound caved .
This is bad and will get worse , but it is also an opportunity to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Washington AG .
Provost is scheduled for retirement , and I don ’ t know if she has left as of today , but President Trump should fire her for her incompetence .
Just as women are not good for medicine , women are even worse for law enforcement , especially lesbians like Provost .
Greyhound , the nation ’ s largest bus company , said Friday that it will stop allowing Border Patrol agents without a warrant to board its buses to conduct routine immigration checks .
The company ’ s announcement @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reported on a leaked Border Patrol memo confirming that agents can ’ t board private buses without the consent of the bus company .
Greyhound had previously insisted that even though it didn ’ t like the immigration checks , it had no choice under federal law but to allow them .
In an emailed statement , the company said it would notify the Department of Homeland Security that it does not consent to unwarranted searches on its buses or in areas of terminals that are not open to the public — such @ @ @ @ @ @ @ person needs a ticket to access .
[ Greyhound To Stop Allowing Border Patrol On Buses For Immigration Checks , by Gene Johnson , Associated Press/USAToday , February 22 , 2020 ] In a very strange statement , Greyhound said it made the decision to protect its customers and employees .
Protect them from having law enforcement on their buses ?
This is clearly not true .
What appears to be true is that Greyhound wants to take advantage of the illegal alien and of drug smuggler market , and not having Border @ @ @ @ @ @ @ drugs and illegal aliens will increase corporate profits but bring untold damage to the American people .
As I reported on Friday , there is no legal basis for Greyhound to keep Border Patrol off its buses and there furthermore no legal basis for the Attorney General of Washington to enforce that rule .
The authority of immigration offices to board any conveyance within 100 miles of the border is well established in law , Title 8 United States Code Section 1357 ( a ) ( 3 ) : If Provost has not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fired and the new Acting General Counsel for the Department of Homeland Security ( DHS ) should immediately rescind the memorandum and replace it with a strong endorsement of the border search authority in Title 8 .
Now as a line agent , Provost likely did not author the memorandum herself , she presumably would have used the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Office of the Chief Counsel , Scott Falk for the legal reasoning .
Mizelle should also fire Falk .
It is time to clean up DHS , getting rid of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The Trump Administration is planning a purge of the Deep State led by Johnny McEntee , perhaps he should start at DHS .
You can contact Falk here and at ( 202 ) 344-2940 .
Be polite and let him know that he has seriously damaged immigration law enforcement .
Besides that , AG Ferguson also needs to be put in his place , as does Greyhound .
Increased enforcement on Greyhound should be the first step to show them who is boss and if Ferguson interferes , he should be arrested for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Title 8 USC 1324 , Bringing In And Harboring Certain Aliens and interfering with a Federal officer , Title 18 USC 111 , Impeding A Federal Officer .
The response to sabotage and support for illegal aliens should be met with strong and immediate action , perhaps Stephen Miller and Ken The Knife should act now !

Grossly Incompetent Carla Provost
Greyhound, the nation’s largest bus company, said Friday that it will stop allowing Border Patrol agents without a warrant to board its buses to conduct routine immigration checks. The company’s announcement came one week after The Associated Press reported on a leaked Border Patrol memo confirming that agents can’t board private buses without the consent of the bus company. Greyhound had previously insisted that even though it didn’t like the immigration checks, it had no choice under federal law but to allow them. In an emailed statement, the company said it would notify the Department of Homeland Security that it does not consent to unwarranted searches on its buses or in areas of terminals that are not open to the public — such as company offices or any areas a person needs a ticket to access. [Greyhound To Stop Allowing Border Patrol On Buses For Immigration Checks, by Gene Johnson, Associated Press/USAToday, February 22, 2020]
In a very strange statement, Greyhound said it made the decision to protect its customers and employees. Protect them from having law enforcement on their buses?
“Our primary concern is the safety of our customers and team members, and we are confident these changes will lead to an improved experience for all parties involved,” the statement said.
This is clearly not true. What appears to be true is that Greyhound wants to take advantage of the illegal alien and of drug smuggler market, and not having Border Patrol Agents on the buses checking for drugs and illegal aliens will increase corporate profits but bring untold damage to the American people.
As I reported on Friday, there is no legal basis for Greyhound to keep Border Patrol off its buses and there furthermore no legal basis for the Attorney General of Washington to enforce that rule.
Greyhound has faced pressure from the American Civil Liberties Union, immigrant rights activists and Washington state Attorney General Bob Ferguson to stop allowing sweeps on buses within 100 miles of an international border or coastline. In many cases, the buses being checked were not crossing or even approaching an international boundary… Ferguson said in an email his office will follow up with Greyhound to ensure compliance.
The authority of immigration offices to board any conveyance within 100 miles of the border is well established in law, Title 8 United States Code Section 1357(a)(3):
(3) within a reasonable distance from any external boundary of the United States, to board and search for aliens any vessel within the territorial waters of the United States and any railway car, aircraft, conveyance, or vehicle, and within a distance of twenty-five miles from any such external boundary to have access to private lands, but not dwellings, for the purpose of patrolling the border to prevent the illegal entry of aliens into the United States; [Title 8 USC 1357, Powers of Immigration Officers and Employees, Legal Information Institute, undated]
If Provost has not officially retired yet, she should be fired and the new Acting General Counsel for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) should immediately rescind the memorandum and replace it with a strong endorsement of the border search authority in Title 8. Now, as a line agent, Provost likely did not author the memorandum herself; she presumably would have used the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Office of the Chief Counsel, Scott Falk for the legal reasoning.
Chad Mizelle, Acting General Counsel
Mizelle should also fire Falk. It is time to clean up DHS, getting rid of the Resistance and Deep State saboteurs. The Trump Administration is planning a purge of the Deep State led by Johnny McEntee; perhaps he should start at DHS.
You can contact Falk here and at (202) 344-2940. Be polite and let him know that he has seriously damaged immigration law enforcement.
Deep State Saboteur Scott Falk
Besides that, AG Ferguson also needs to be put in his place, as does Greyhound. Increased enforcement on Greyhound should be the first step to show them who is boss and if Ferguson interferes, he should be arrested for aiding illegal aliens, a violation of Title 8 USC 1324, Bringing In And Harboring Certain Aliens and interfering with a Federal officer, Title 18 USC 111, Impeding A Federal Officer.
The response to sabotage and support for illegal aliens should be met with strong and immediate action, perhaps Stephen Miller and Ken The Knife should act now!

Years ago, at an American Renaissance conference, speaker Sam Dickson responded to the oft-made claim by conservatives that blacks are unwitting dupes of the Democrats, and that they'd be better off splitting their vote in order to get the attention of both parties.
Not so, said Sam. Blacks are correct to vote as a block for Democrats. It's the only way for them to exercise any real power.
If only whites were as wise, he lamented. We did then—and continue to—split our vote between the Republicans and the Democrats.
In the years since, I've observed the truth of this, and how frivolous we as whites can be about our political views.
Husband is a Republican, and wife is a Democrat—so they don't bother voting because they'd cancel each other out. Isn't that cute?
Across white America, you'll have Uncle Steve, the Trump guy, arguing with mom, the Hillary supporter, at Thanksgiving. Whites tuck in to global warming, veganism, feminism, gun rights or whatever other issue as ways to emotionally satisfy ourselves—and in ways that have little do to with immediate reality.
Now, Eitan Hersh, a Tufts political science professor coming from a pronouncedly left/Jewish perspective, has a book out addressing the issue, Politics Is For Power, which he’s writing about in The Atlantic.
His conclusion—that whites must throw themselves into the fight for equality—is of course wrong.
But the primary analysis is sound.
Hersh:
What explains the rise of political hobbyism? One important historical explanation is the culture of comfort that engulfs college-educated white people, a demographic group that is now predominately Democratic. They have decent jobs and benefits. There has been no military conscription for some 50 years. [Political Hobbyists Are Ruining Politics, January 20, 2020.]
To this I would add that whites have been—and still are—in the majority in a way that makes politics more abstract for them.
But as whites find themselves falling into the minority, being squeezed from education and employment, subject to violent crime, forced to live in ever-encroaching multiracial squalor, unable to speak freely and denied the same voting power as in years ago, this will start to change.
Politics for whites, as for other races, will become more about life and death.

vdare--2020-02-23--Here We Go A-Groveling: Archbishop Of Canterbury Prostrates Himself At Amritsar

Here is a story that was underreported , probably because of the increasing irrelevance of mainline churches .
Back in September of 2019 , the chief prelate of the Church of England visited Amritsar in India , the site of a horrible slaughter of innocent people by the British colonial authorities in 1919 .

Here is a story that was underreported, probably because of the increasing irrelevance of mainline churches. Back in September of 2019, the chief prelate of the Church of England visited Amritsar in India, the site of a horrible slaughter of innocent people by the British colonial authorities in 1919. It was a classic example of the kind of needless violence that arises from the collision of different cultures, an object lesson in the dangers of diversity and imperial meddling. Today, all the people responsible are dead. A prayer of remembrance or a recitation of Kipling’s “Recessional” might have sufficed.
But for Justin Portal Welby, a man deeply ashamed of his “white privilege,” nothing but full-tilt literal self-abasement would do.
According to CNN, Archbishop Welby wrote on Facebook,
"Coming here arouses a sense of profound shame at what happened in this place. It is one of a number of deep stains on British history. The pain and grief that has transcended the generations since must never be dismissed or denied… Learning of what happened, I recognise the sins of my British colonial history, the ideology that too often subjugated and dehumanised other races and cultures..." Archbishop of Canterbury prostrates himself at Amritsar massacre memorial, by Lianne Kolirin, CNN, September 11, 2019
I lay the blame for this sorry display squarely at the foot of England’s maiden aunts. They are simply not stepping up to the wicket the way they used to do. Bertie Wooster’s Aunt Agatha would have made short work of this nonsense.
“Justie,” she would have said, “Get up this instant, and stop playing the fool! You look like that shabby cat skin on the floor of old Emsworth’s study.” And that would have been that. Alas, every country’s past is littered with administrative blunders, acts of brutality, and other “stains.” Absent an aunt’s salutary correction, the poor prelate appears doomed to a career of floor-flopping and stain-mopping.
“I am so ashamed and sorry for the impact of this, for this crime committed here.”

Surely the Archbishop could save a lot of time (and be more ecumenical) by simply arranging to have himself tortured to death for the sins of the whole world. Oh, wait. Didn’t Someone do that already?
Ah, well! What’s time to an archbishop anyway?

Previously on SBPDL: Did Gary Martin, the Black Mass Shooter in Aurora, Target Whites (Four of Five Dead Are White Males)?
A mass shooting in Milwaukee, completely dropped from any coverage by the corporate media after the inconvenient truth of the shooters racial identity became known: a black male.
Narrative collapse, with no racist white male targeting innocent black bodies to blame.
Four of the five dead are white males, with the other victim being Hispanic:
Jesus Valle Jr., 33, Milwaukee
Gennady Levshetz, 61, Mequon
Trevor Wetselaar, 33, Milwaukee
Dana Walk, 57, Delafield
Dale Hudson, 60, Waukesha
But here’s what we know about the possible racial motivations behind the mass shooting no media outside of Milwaukee seems interested in discussing anymore. [Milwaukee Molson Coors shooter reportedly had long-running dispute with co-worker, NY Post, February 27, 2020]:
The man accused of opening fire at a Molson Coors plant in Milwaukee on Wednesday — killing five co-workers and himself — was a gun-loving electrician who had been in a long-running dispute with a co-worker, according to a report. Anthony Ferrill, 51, had frequently argued with one of the fatally shot victims, a fellow electrician, an employee told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. The two co-workers had accused each other of going into each other's offices and tampering with computer equipment or swiping tools, the source, who didn’t want to be named, told the outlet Thursday. Ferrill also often watched movies on his phone during the day, something the other electrician had taken issue with, and believed he was being discriminated against because he was African American, the source added. Ferrill had been fired earlier in the day but returned to the campus with a stolen name tag and a silenced gun, according to WBBM-TV. He had worked as an electrician for more than 20 years — with about 17 of them being at the Milwaukee brewery, according to the Sentinel, which cited multiple sources and online employment records.
The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reported:
“A co-worker who asked not to be identified for fear of being disciplined said Ferrill believed he was being discriminated against because he was African American, and that he frequently argued with at least one of the victims. The co-worker said Ferrill often watched movies on his phone during the day, which the other man took issue with, and that the two accused each other of going into each others’ [sic] offices and stealing tools or tampering with computer equipment.”
Anthony Ferrill’s motivations will be concealed and covered up, just as the black shooter’s (Bryce Williams) manifesto was hidden from public consumption after his on-air murder of white journalist Alison Parker and white cameraman Adam Ward in 2015. Williams' goal was a race war.
The corporate media will completely drop the coverage of this story, because a black mass shooter and dead white males at his hands won’t generate the kind of anti-2nd Amendment sympathy necessary to cause more states to enact gun control.
Rest in peace, Dale, Dana, Trevor, Gennady and Jesus.

One is an old and aging Anglo and the other is young and minority .

I expect there will be a similar explosion when it 's reported , probably later this year , that a majority of births in the U.S. are non-white .
It 's not clear from the Houston Chronicle report , but of course what is driving this demographic shift is immigration , both legal and illegal .
Murdock says that `` about 6 percent of the state 's population is not documented '' a.k.a .
illegal , which means that at least 6 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ significantly more , would not contribute to American displacement if the GOP simply closed the birthright citizenship loophole .
Plus , of course , the border could be sealed , the illegal population eliminated through enforcement , and a moratorium imposed on legal immigration .
It 's not rocket science .

That figure is not inflation adjusted so it will be worse than what it sounds .
`` It 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .

"The president fired the pandemic specialist in this country two years ago," the former New York mayor said. "There's nobody here to figure out what the hell we should be doing. And he's defunded the CDC."
Not 24 hours later, President Donald Trump, home from India, was in the White House briefing room, flanked by the nation's foremost health experts, deputizing Vice President Mike Pence to head the task force to lead America's battle against the spreading disease.
Yet, by Thursday noon, the Dow Jones average was down 3,000 points on the week, a 10% plunge from its recent all-time high.
Trillions of dollars in equity value had been wiped out. The great bull market of the Trump presidency may be history.
Though only 60 Americans are known to have been infected, and none has yet died, fear has begun to grip the nation as well as the world. Yet, as of now, the numbers don't justify the emotion.
The death toll as of Thursday was 2,800, out of 82,000 cases of coronavirus worldwide. The great majority of these are in China, where the virus originated, though the disease has spread to every continent, with Italy and South Korea the hardest hit outside of China.
Whatever happens medically—the mortality rate of the virus is between 2 and 3%—it's hard to see how the world averts a recession if COVID-19 is not soon contained and controlled.
Already, Democrats are piling on Trump for cutting funding for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and failing to reflect the seriousness of the threat. And the issue does present a challenge to Trump's presidency. His handling of it may determine his stature as chief executive.
Yet the issue is also tailor-made for Trump.
First, the disease comes out of Xi Jinping's China, not Trump's USA.
Second, the president occupies what Theodore Roosevelt called the "bully pulpit," the White House. He can use that pulpit daily to command the airwaves and inform, lead, unite and direct the nation during what could be a months-long crisis. And Trump alone has the power to declare a national emergency, should that be needed.
If Trump acts as a leader, urging unity in the struggle to contain the virus and discover a vaccine, the hectoring from the Democratic left, already begun, can come to be seen as unpatriotic.
Also, Trump's probable opponent this fall, who would be in charge of preventing the coronavirus from spreading like the Spanish Flu of 1918-19, is Bernie Sanders. And what are Sanders' credentials and plans?
Under "Medicare for All," Sanders intends to nationalize the entire U.S. heath care system and abolish the private health insurance plans of 140 million Americans who now depend on them.
As for the pharmaceutical industry, uniquely situated to assist in the crash effort to find a cure for the coronavirus, Sanders will confiscate its profits and put those profiteers out of business.
Still, given the alarming news coming from countries all over the globe, there is a risk that by November, the U.S. and the world may have tumbled into a recession. Airlines are already canceling flights to and from Asia. Cruise ships are pulling into ports and off-loading passengers. Travel and tourism are suffering terribly. Schools are closing.
Chinese factories that produce essential parts for factories and finished products in the U.S., Europe and Asia are shutting down. Supply chains are being severed. Shortages are cropping up.
The Japanese are talking of canceling the Olympics. If the virus spreads here, the question arises: Will our two parties still hold their nominating conventions this summer in Milwaukee and Charlotte?
The chickens of globalization are coming home to roost.
In recent decades, America's economic and political elites of both parties surrendered America's economic independence for globalism, a new interdependence of nations, where we Americans no longer rely on ourselves alone for the vital necessities of our national life.
That decision is now being exposed as the folly against which Hamilton and economic nationalists always warned.
According to The Washington Post, critical ingredients of medicines and drugs, upon which many American lives depend, are made in Chinese factories now in danger of being shut down.
In the ongoing struggle between nationalism and globalism, the globalists are taking a beating. Like the Chinese and Japanese and Koreans, Americans are not going to be looking to the WHO or U.N. to ensure their health, but to their own nation-states. And if a pandemic threatens, transnationalism's "open borders" ideology is not a policy that will bring universal acclamation.
Like Trump's America, all nations, in this crisis, are going to put their own people first. As they should.

vdare--2020-02-27--NOTHING About Immigration In Democratic Debate, Because They're All Agreed On Opening The Floodgates

Earlier : Dems Not Debating Immigration In New Hampshire—All Agreed On Stealth Open Borders Campaign ?
Steve Sailer has this thing were he does `` CTRL+F immigra '' on stories about schools or finance or crime which should mention immigration but do n't .
I just did it with the transcript of the Democrats 's South Carolina Debate , and there 's practically nothing on the subject .
Warren mentioned immigration as one of the things she does n't like about the institution of the filibuster .
Klobuchar said at the end of one speech `` Final thing is comprehensive @ @ @ @ @ @ @ '' and then the moderator called `` Time '' .
Finally , Sanders mentioned it when he was saying he was n't `` radical '' .
Sanders has a list of things he 's saying is n't radical ( they are , of course ) and he mentioned `` immigration reform '' , which on Democrat stage only means Amnesty , as something that he defied Mayor Pete to say was radical .
Aside from that , crickets .
The thing is , they 're all agreed on opening the floodgates .
Sanders @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will be to reverse everything Trump has done to protect America , and to do so , he 's willing to actually resume terrorist immigration : Biden wants to increase immigration to two million a year : And Bloomberg , in spite of being part sane in some ways , has always been crazily pro-immigrant , one of the `` Billionaires For Open Borders . ''
So here 's the problem for the Democrats—when they face Trump in the general election , they 'll have no idea what to say about immigration in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ because they 'll never have heard any of it before .

Klobuchar said at the end of one speech "Final thing is comprehensive immigration reform. I have passed..." and then the moderator called "Time."
Finally, Sanders mentioned it when he was saying he wasn't "radical." Sanders has a list of things he's saying isn't radical (they are, of course) and he mentioned "immigration reform," which on Democrat stage only means Amnesty, as something that he defied Mayor Pete to say was radical. Aside from that, crickets.
The thing is, they're all agreed on opening the floodgates.
Sanders has said that his first executive act will be to reverse everything Trump has done to protect America, and to do so, he's willing to actually resume terrorist immigration:
My first executive orders will be to reverse every single thing President Trump has done to demonize and harm immigrants, including his racist and disgusting Muslim ban. — Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) January 27, 2020
Biden wants to increase immigration to two million a year:
ALERT: Joe Biden wants to almost triple immigration!
2 million more EACH YEAR would:
🔻Crush wages for working class
🔻Kill blue collar jobs
🔻Ravage Medicare & Social Security
🔻Drain federal treasury
🔺Crowd schools & hospitals@realDonaldTrump puts American citizens first! pic.twitter.com/K90hUjEf83 — Team Trump (Text TRUMP to 88022) (@TeamTrump) August 9, 2019
And Bloomberg, in spite of being part sane in some ways, has always been crazily pro-immigrant, one of the "Billionaires For Open Borders."
"A couple of years later, @Mike2020 was touting the benefits of a low-wage workforce thanks to immigration. 'You and I both play golf,' Bloomberg pointed out to radio host John Gambling. 'Who takes care of the greens and the fairways in your golf course?'" https://t.co/TLZlGzlRzB — Andrew Good (@Drewbueno) February 14, 2020
So here's the problem for the Democrats—when they face Trump in the general election, they'll have no idea what to say about immigration in response to his attacks on them, because they'll never have heard any of it before.

vdare--2020-02-27--Presidential Candidate Biden Thinks 150 Million Americans Have Been Killed By Guns In 13 Years, Or S

Presidential Candidate Biden Thinks 150 Million Americans Have Been Killed By Guns In 13 Years, Or Something

It can be hard to keep up with all the verbal bloopers of candidate Joe Biden , and his recent gun gaffe was a fine example .
In the recent Democrat debate , he said that 150 million Americans had been killed by guns since 2007 — something which would be very noticeable .
Tucker Carlson is sure that Old Joe meant 150 thousand — but the goof shows how ragged things are getting among the 2020 Democrats as Super Tuesday looms .
The urge is to cite the most extreme statistic — even a wrong one — as a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ news the next day .
Plus , gun grabbing is practically a religion among the left .
They can not imagine armed citizens in a free country — where ’ s the power and control in that ?
Democrats really do have a different idea of how this nation should be run — with open borders and no way to defend yourself from illegal alien criminals .
Meanwhile , millions of Americans understand that the Second Amendment is vital to keeping the First and will not give up their rights as citizens .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ thousands of Second Amendment supporters who rallied in support of firearm possession in Richmond Virginia on January 20 .
Tucker Carlson could not let the gun gaffe go without a discussion of how horrible the Democrats all are on the Second Amendment .
TUCKER CARLSON : Well during the Democratic debate last night , Joe Biden made a remarkable claim about the level of gun violence in this country .
Watch : JOE BIDEN : A hundred and fifty million people have been killed since 2007 when Bernie voted to exempt the gun @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the wars , including Vietnam , from that point on .
CARLSON : Vietnam ?
More than that ?
A hundred and fifty million .
That ’ s almost half the country , dead in 10 years .
That ’ s a lot of empty buildings .
Presumably Biden meant to say 150,000 .
That ’ s roughly the number of gun homicides in this country during that period .
But Democrats are doing their best to drive that number up .
How ?
By attacking police and letting criminals — real criminals @ @ @ @ @ @ @ gun violence by fighting actual criminals who are trying to destroy the NRA and take guns from people who didn ’ t vote for them with assault weapons ban .
Do assault weapons bans work ?
Well , there ’ s just been a big study on this question from Johns Hopkins , the Party of Science is ignoring it , but the answer is no .
They don ’ t work .
Not that they ’ ll stop trying to push somebody in .
Colion Noir is a Second Amendment advocate .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ much for coming on .
Have you noticed there seems to be a connection between the vehemence of gun control advocates and their lack of knowledge about firearms ?
I mean , some of these people — Biden is a perfect example — don ’ t know what end the round comes out of .
They don ’ t know what a muzzle is .
And yet they ’ re sort of posing as experts .
Am I imagining this ?
COLION NOIR : No , you ’ re not imagining .
It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
And to me , that ’ s the most disheartening aspect of this .
We ’ re talking about one of the most important constitutional rights in this country .
But yet these individuals who are calling themselves leaders don ’ t know the first thing about the subject they ’ re talking about .
They just get their talking points , get in front of the camera , and then spew a bunch of misinformation to millions of people , and then the people believe it .
CARLSON : So what @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people who lecture you constantly about science and climate change and look at the data , essentially ignore the data when it conflicts with their social engineering .
So Johns Hopkins , which I think is a legitimate institution , or was anyway , has a new study showing that assault weapons bans do not or there ’ s no evidence to show that they do reduce mass shootings .
So this would — and a lot of studies have shown , this including the Federal government ’ s own study , during @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not kind of death for assault weapons bans , they don ’ t work .
So why are we still pushing them ?
NOIR : Well , because of the agenda .
At the end of the day , and I always go back to this point , because it ’ s their overall goal , which is control .
They don ’ t really care about what the facts actually say .
What they want is to restrict the Second Amendment into oblivion .
That ’ s the goal .
And at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we ’ ve seen from all of the candidates that have been on stage talking about the Second Amendment and gun control , so forth and so on , and people talking about confiscating weapons .
At this point , we should all understand that .
That they have an agenda to restrict the Second Amendment into oblivion .
This isn ’ t about saving lives .
This isn ’ t about trying to find a balance and having a conversation .
Because if it was , they wouldn ’ t be talking @ @ @ @ @ @ @ NRA .
They ’ d be talking about , okay , well , how do we balance protecting people ’ s rights while trying to , you know , save lives in some manner that makes sense and that ’ s actually plausible , without taking away people ’ s constitutional rights , that as far as I ’ m concerned , I ’ m not willing to give up for the sake of saying , you know , what , I do feel a little bit safer , when I ’ m @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s the problem with this conversation as a whole .
They really don ’ t care .
What they care about is gaining control .
CARLSON : Yes , controlling the population .
Armed populations are to be controlled , and by the way , if they cared about gun violence , they would focus their efforts in places where gun violence is the biggest problem , but of course , they ’ re against that .
It tells you everything .
Colion Noir , it ’ s great to see you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ finish up .
Put a bow on it .
NOIR : Got you .
So for them , it ’ s too multifaceted for them .
They don ’ t actually want to do work .
They don ’ t want to roll the sleeves up and get the job done , because when you talk about the places that have the most gun violence , it ’ s a socioeconomic issue .
It ’ s not a gun issue .
Because if it were a gun issue , we ’ d see @ @ @ @ @ @ @ We don ’ t .
It ’ s concentrated in very specific areas .
And there ’ s a pattern to all of these areas that are not being addressed .
But that would require them to actually care and actually do work .
NOIR : They ’ ll go into these places , and they ’ ll say , oh , we ’ ll give you gun control and then leave and never show up again after election .
CARLSON : If someone ’ s trying to make you powerless and helpless @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s a sign — that ’ s not a good sign .
I don ’ t think at all .
CARLSON : Colion , great to see you .
Thank you for that .

Tucker Carlson could not let the gun gaffe go without a discussion of how horrible the Democrats all are on the Second Amendment.
Spare video here.)
TUCKER CARLSON: Well during the Democratic debate last night, Joe Biden made a remarkable claim about the level of gun violence in this country. Watch:
JOE BIDEN: A hundred and fifty million people have been killed since 2007 when Bernie voted to exempt the gun manufacturers from liability, more than all the wars, including Vietnam, from that point on.
CARLSON: Vietnam? More than that? A hundred and fifty million. That’s almost half the country, dead in 10 years. That’s a lot of empty buildings.
Presumably Biden meant to say 150,000. That’s roughly the number of gun homicides in this country during that period. But Democrats are doing their best to drive that number up. How? By attacking police and letting criminals — real criminals — go free.
Instead of fighting gun violence by fighting actual criminals who are trying to destroy the NRA and take guns from people who didn’t vote for them with assault weapons ban.
Do assault weapons bans work? Well, there’s just been a big study on this question from Johns Hopkins, the Party of Science is ignoring it, but the answer is no. They don’t work. Not that they’ll stop trying to push somebody in.
Colion Noir is a Second Amendment advocate. He joins us tonight. Thanks so much for coming on. Have you noticed there seems to be a connection between the vehemence of gun control advocates and their lack of knowledge about firearms?
I mean, some of these people — Biden is a perfect example — don’t know what end the round comes out of. They don’t know what a muzzle is. And yet they’re sort of posing as experts. Am I imagining this?
COLION NOIR: No, you’re not imagining. It is exactly what they’re doing. And to me, that’s the most disheartening aspect of this. We’re talking about one of the most important constitutional rights in this country. But yet these individuals who are calling themselves leaders don’t know the first thing about the subject they’re talking about.
They just get their talking points, get in front of the camera, and then spew a bunch of misinformation to millions of people, and then the people believe it.
CARLSON: So what’s interesting is that the same people who lecture you constantly about science and climate change and look at the data, essentially ignore the data when it conflicts with their social engineering.
So Johns Hopkins, which I think is a legitimate institution, or was anyway, has a new study showing that assault weapons bans do not or there’s no evidence to show that they do reduce mass shootings.
So this would — and a lot of studies have shown, this including the Federal government’s own study, during the Clinton administration. Why is this not kind of death for assault weapons bans, they don’t work. So why are we still pushing them?
NOIR: Well, because of the agenda. At the end of the day, and I always go back to this point, because it’s their overall goal, which is control. They don’t really care about what the facts actually say.
What they want is to restrict the Second Amendment into oblivion. That’s the goal. And at this point in time, from what we’ve seen from all of the candidates that have been on stage talking about the Second Amendment and gun control, so forth and so on, and people talking about confiscating weapons.
At this point, we should all understand that. That they have an agenda to restrict the Second Amendment into oblivion. This isn’t about saving lives. This isn’t about trying to find a balance and having a conversation. Because if it was, they wouldn’t be talking about how they beat or destroy the NRA.
They’d be talking about, okay, well, how do we balance protecting people’s rights while trying to, you know, save lives in some manner that makes sense and that’s actually plausible, without taking away people’s constitutional rights, that as far as I’m concerned, I’m not willing to give up for the sake of saying, you know, what, I do feel a little bit safer, when I’m not actually safer.
And so that’s the problem with this conversation as a whole. They really don’t care. What they care about is gaining control.
CARLSON: Yes, controlling the population. Armed populations are to be controlled, and by the way, if they cared about gun violence, they would focus their efforts in places where gun violence is the biggest problem, but of course, they’re against that. It tells you everything.
Colion Noir, it’s great to see you.
NOIR: Absolutely.
CARLSON: No, please, finish up. Put a bow on it.
NOIR: Got you. So for them, it’s too multifaceted for them. They don’t actually want to do work. They don’t want to roll the sleeves up and get the job done, because when you talk about the places that have the most gun violence, it’s a socioeconomic issue. It’s not a gun issue.
Because if it were a gun issue, we’d see this violence widespread across the country. We don’t. It’s concentrated in very specific areas. And there’s a pattern to all of these areas that are not being addressed.
But that would require them to actually care and actually do work.
CARLSON: No, it’s true.
NOIR: They’ll go into these places, and they’ll say, oh, we’ll give you gun control and then leave and never show up again after election.
CARLSON: If someone’s trying to make you powerless and helpless, you should be nervous. That’s a sign — that’s not a good sign. I don’t think at all.
NOIR: It’s not a good sign.
CARLSON: Colion, great to see you. Thank you for that.
