I live to write. I write to live.
The close of 2019 marks two full decades since I entered national newspaper syndication. You are reading the 1,571st column I’ve filed with Creators Syndicate. The years have flown and so have the words: More than one million of them carefully marshaled each week for the past 1,043 weeks to enlighten, entertain and enrage.
Thank you, Creators Syndicate founder Rick Newcombe, for your steadfast support and friendship.
Thank you to the hundreds of newspaper op-ed and website editors who publish my work.
Thank you to the thousands of readers over the past 20 years who’ve provided warm encouragement, sharp criticism, typo corrections, whistleblower tips, crochet patterns, favorite poems and prayers. I am especially heartened by positive feedback from high school students assigned by their English teachers to expose themselves to views different from their own.
Though the past few months have been filled with slanderous accusations that I am a purveyor of “hate,” longtime readers of this column know that my weekly pieces are undergirded by love of language, love of family, love of freedom and love of country.
My columns have been filed from across the heartland and around the world, from our southern border to the Pacific Northwest, from Washington, D.C., to Iraq. I root for underdogs, watchdogs and sheepdogs. I oppose elites, control freaks, race hustlers, con artists, ingrates, liars, reality deniers, bullies and incompetents.
No topic is off-limits. I’ve shared dissenting views on the Japanese internment, rethought my former support for the death penalty and challenged the Big Pharma/Big Government orthodoxy on vaccines since 2004, when our family pediatrician kicked us out of her practice for requesting that a Hep B jab simply be delayed. While every major American media outlet cowered as Muslims worldwide rioted against free speech in 2006, my columns vigorously defending the Danish newspaper cartoonists who dared to draw Muhammad earned death threats, distributed denial of service attacks on my website and sharia warnings that continue to this day.
I’ve exposed the cronyism and corruption of the Bushes, McCains, Clintons, Obamas and Bidens. I’ve offended Muslims, Catholics, Lutherans and Jews with my opinions and reporting. I’ve been an equal-opportunity hate crime hoax debunker and crapweasel hunter.
Politics and policy have been a central focus, of course, but I’ve also shared the joys and pains of my personal life: the birth of my children, the still-unsolved disappearance of my cousin from the University of Washington campus in 2011, my late mother-in-law’s experience with medical marijuana to relieve stage 4 melanoma-related pain in 2014, my daughter’s struggles with chronic illness and pain in 2015, and my 25th wedding anniversary celebration last year.
ORDER IT NOW
So many of the stories of suffering, perseverance, patriotism, faith and sacrifice I’ve shared with you remain inscribed on the hard drive of my soul, including Guadalcanal war hero and U.S. Coast Guard Signalman Douglas A. Munro and his dedicated friend Mike Cooley; the children who died on 9/11; Rick Rescorla; Jahi McMath; Haleigh Poutre; Justina Pelletier and Marty and Dana Gottesfeld; Daniel Holtzclaw; Valentino Dixon; Jeff Deskovic; and Brian Franklin.
Along the way, I’ve enjoyed connecting with remarkable human beings of all backgrounds and political stripes. In 2002, I wrote a tribute column to my friend and veteran crime journalist Jack Olsen, who died unexpectedly of a heart attack. We had carried on phone and email conversations for years since my days as a columnist at the Seattle Times. I recounted him jokingly calling himself my “one lefty friend.” We traded notes berating and cajoling each other.
“O for Chrisakes, Michelle, lighten up,” Jack wrote in response to a column I did on touchy-feely conflict resolution seminars in the public schools.
“You are incorrigible,” he ribbed when I told him that was my idea of lightening up.
From the very start of my journalism career, I’ve fought the scourge of identity politics and fetishizing of false “diversity.” One of my very first syndicated columns in 1999 called out a “journalists of color” conference in Seattle for “treating minority journalists as trinkets to be tallied.”
A “newsroom that looks like America is worthless if it doesn’t reflect the diverse and discordant beliefs of its readers,” I wrote at the time. “Journalism doesn’t need more like-minded foot soldiers who march in political unity. It needs straight shooters who think fearlessly for themselves.”
With free speech and free thought under intense fire from all quarters, those words mean more to me now than they did when I wrote them 20 years ago. My New Year’s resolution is to forge ahead and put the roar in the “Roaring Twenties.” There is so much truth yet to be exposed, so many more stories yet to tell, and miles to go before I sleep.

My plan to “Keep America Great” is very simple:
1) Stop exporting American soldiers to countries that hate our guts.
2) Stop importing people from countries that hate our guts.
When I voted for Donald Trump in 2016, I thought this was the plan. The “America First” champion rightly assailed Barack Obama for recklessly endangering the lives of our soldiers to pursue politically driven endless wars. President Trump promised to build an effective wall on the southern border. He enacted tough travel restrictions, upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court, on visitors from countries whose terror-coddling governments pose national security threats.
Yet, here we are at the dawn of 2020 with thousands of U.S. troops headed back to the Stone Age Middle East maw, Mexican drug cartels on the loose while our Border Patrol hands out diapers to illegal immigrants and refugees from around the world — including nearly 1,400 welcomed just last year from the very high-risk countries the Trump travel ban was supposed to block — transforming the nation without the consent of the governed. The leaky block list includes Syria, Iraq and Iran, which launched multiple missiles at U.S. airbases late Tuesday in retaliation for our deadly airstrike last week that killed Quds General Qassem Soleimani.
Now, we are on heightened alert here in our homeland with authorities nervous that Hezbollah sleeper cells (which I’ve documented since writing “Invasion” in 2002) might strike from within.
Some of you still wonder why I write so frequently and vehemently about our failed immigration and entrance policies. It’s because nothing matters more right now to the survival of our country than the right to determine who gets in and the ability to enforce it.
As I reported last year, thanks to an executive order signed by Trump in September, local communities were given the explicit opt-in rights to stem the lucrative tide of refugees coming largely from Third World countries and jihadist breeding grounds. This Wednesday, religious “charities” that profit the most from this multi-billion-dollar racket will be in court to assert blanket, open-borders veto power over the people.
The U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland will hear arguments from vested refugee resettlement interests who oppose Trump’s order requiring government contractors to obtain written consent from all localities and states in which they plan to resettle refugees. The Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society, Church World Service and Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service — three of the nine State Department partners who resettle all refugees — argue that the federal government should prioritize family reunification of foreign refugees over local control. Translation: Americans come last.

The lawsuit assails the White House executive order for threatening “to systematically dismantle the organizations — including Plaintiffs — that have spent decades developing networks, expertise, and resources to carry out the American ideal of welcoming refugees.” Those “resources” come from you and me: Tax subsidies that constitute the vast majority of these nonprofit activists’ budgets. Over the past decade, according to an analysis by immigration researcher James Simpson, the three plaintiff groups have raked in the following amounts from the federal refugee resettlement program:
–Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Services: $471.6 million (94% from of its budget).
–Church World Service: $433.3 million (72% of its budget).
–Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society: $186.1 million (54% of its budget).
The refugee resettlement contractors, in turn, spread their massive wealth — from both public and private sources — to a galaxy of subcontractors looking to register Democratic voters, fill their pews and recruit new clients and constituents. The “Interfaith Immigration Coalition” holding a protest event after the hearing on Wednesday to support the refugee pipeline includes: Columban Center for Advocacy and Outreach; Congregation of Our Lady of Charity of the Good Shepherd; U.S. Provinces; Daughters of Charity; Disciples Refugee & Immigration Ministries; Franciscan Action Network; Interfaith Immigration Coalition; Jewish Council for Public Affairs; Leadership Conference of Women Religious; National Advocacy Center of the Sisters of the Good Shepherd; National Council of Jewish Women; Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism; Rise for Refuge; Sisters of Mercy of the Americas – Institute Leadership Team; T’ruah; The Rabbinic Call for Human Rights; The United Church of Christ; and We Are All America.
Thanks to pressure from these groups with bottomless budgets and clout, 18 Republican — yes, Republican — governors are also standing against Trump and self-determination in favor of increased refugee settlement, including: Doug Ducey of Arizona, Asa Hutchinson of Arkansas, Eric Holcomb of Indiana, Kim Reynolds of Iowa, Brad Little of Idaho, Mike Parsons of Missouri, Larry Hogan of Maryland, Charlie Baker of Massachusetts, Mike DeWine of Ohio, Kevin Stitt of Oklahoma, Pete Ricketts of Nebraska, Chris Sununu of New Hampshire, Doug Burgum of North Dakota, Kristi Noem of South Dakota, Bill Lee of Tennessee, Gary Herbert of Utah, Jim Justice of West Virginia and Phil Scott of Vermont.
The names must be named and the sellouts must be shamed, especially as war breaks out on all fronts. What’s the point of sending young American troops to fight enemies “over there” if we are welcoming them by the tens and hundreds of thousands over here?

themichellemalkinblog--2020-01-22--Illegal Immigrant Caravans and Criminal Catholics

The latest , lawless migrant caravan hurtling from Honduras to our southern border is as organic as AstroTurf .
The Central American trespassers now number between 2,500 and 4,000 .
Two weeks ago , slickly designed flyers disseminated on social media beckoned them to sign up for the latest journey and meet at a bus stop in San Pedro Sula .
That village is caravan ground zero , where Honduras ’ s destabilizing Libre Party and its former top legislator-turned-agitator Bartolo Fuentes , have brazenly spearheaded past caravan organizing campaigns since President Donald Trump took office .
On Monday , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ where mobs of mostly young men threw rocks and sticks at police—while sympathetic international “ journalists ” selectively captured and curated tired women and crying children on the trek with state-of-the-art cameras and livestreams .
Make no mistake : These are not desperate people suddenly seeking refuge from violence and harm .
They are low-wage workers , pew-fillers and future ethnic-bloc voters being exploited by Big Business , the Vatican and the Democrat Party .
Pueblo Sin Fronteras may be the most recognizable name behind the caravans , but global Catholic elites play @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this transnational human smuggling racket .
Trump-bashing , American sovereignty-trashing Pope Francis donated $ 500,000 nine months ago from his Peter ’ s Pence fund to assist illegal immigrant caravan participants .
The subsidies cover “ 27 projects in 16 dioceses and Mexican religious congregations ” for “ housing , food and basic necessities , ” as well as “ migrant ” assistance programs “ run by seven dioceses and three religious congregations : the Scalabrinians , the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary and the Hermanas Josefinas , ” according to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reported on my investigations in “ Open Borders Inc. , ” the Catholic “ Underground Railroad ” of migrant safe houses that extend across Central America , through Mexico , and up to and into the U.S. is a well-oiled machine .
The United Nations ’ International Organization for Migration in Mexico has guaranteed supplies of medicine , hygiene products , construction materials , as well as therapy services and legal training , for caravan marchers who are housed at the Hermanos en el Camino shelter , along with the Catholic-run Hogar de @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Pastor del Pobre y el Migrante shelter .
Funding comes not just from Catholic parishioners , but also U.S. tax dollars .
The La 72 shelter in Tenosique is run by Franciscans .
The El Caminante shelter in Palenque is overseen by Catholic nuns .
The Scalabrinians operate Casa del Migrante in Tijuana and have managed an entire shelter ministry network since 1999 .
On the southern border of Mexico in Chiapas , the city of Tapachula is the first entry point for Central Americans headed to the U.S .
There , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ provides “ comprehensive support ” to illegal immigrant travelers including legal consultations , monitoring of detention centers and “ online resources , art and social activities , job training , and basic social services.
” The group has received nearly $ 200,000 from the liberal MacArthur Foundation .
Also in Tapachula , the Jesuit Refugee Service opens its churches and pastoral centers to provide shelter , monetary aid , voluntary aid and emergency assistance .
Its team of lawyers , psychologists , social workers and Jesuit clergy spread from Tapachula to Comalapa and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sherpas for the 2018 caravan marchers and liaisons with the U.N. High Commission for Refugees .
Jaime Calderon Calderon , the Catholic bishop of Tapachula , Mexico , immediately pledged aid this month to the newest waves of border-jumpers and river-crossers , openly acknowledging that he received a heads-up from other bishops in the Northern Triangle ( Guatemala , Honduras and El Salvador ) .
But while Calderon and the bishops blame “ violence ” for the most recent invasion , homicide rates have either fluctuated or fallen significantly in Guatemala , Honduras @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s executive amnesty programs ( DACA and DAPA ) were announced in 2012 .
Migrants themselves refute the “ fleeing violence ” narrative : An International Organization for Migration poll of more than 3,200 Guatemalan households in 2016 , highlighted by the Center for Immigration Studies ’ Kausha Luna , reported that 91 % of migrants surveyed had moved to the U.S. for economic reasons ( jobs , homes , income boosts ) —while only 0.3 % blamed violence , 0.2 % cited extortion and 0.2 % attributed their decision to gangs .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Central American workers , legal and illegal , sent back nearly $ 20 billion in remittances to their home countries in 2018 , a tidy sum of which will end up back in Catholic collection plates .
Remittances sent to El Salvador are now equal to 20 % of its GDP ; Guatemala , 11 % ; and Honduras , 18.8 % .
Meanwhile , the percentage of the population of Guatemala now living in the U.S. is close to 7 % ; for El Salvador , the percentage now stands at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we now have absorbed 9.2 % of their people .
This is a deliberately orchestrated , relentlessly executed , slow-motion criminal invasion .

Illegal Immigrant Caravans and Criminal Catholics

The latest, lawless migrant caravan hurtling from Honduras to our southern border is as organic as AstroTurf.
The Central American trespassers now number between 2,500 and 4,000. Two weeks ago, slickly designed flyers disseminated on social media beckoned them to sign up for the latest journey and meet at a bus stop in San Pedro Sula. That village is caravan ground zero, where Honduras’s destabilizing Libre Party and its former top legislator-turned-agitator Bartolo Fuentes, have brazenly spearheaded past caravan organizing campaigns since President Donald Trump took office.
On Monday, the throngs reached the Mexico-Guatemala border, where mobs of mostly young men threw rocks and sticks at police—while sympathetic international “journalists” selectively captured and curated tired women and crying children on the trek with state-of-the-art cameras and livestreams.
Make no mistake: These are not desperate people suddenly seeking refuge from violence and harm. They are low-wage workers, pew-fillers and future ethnic-bloc voters being exploited by Big Business, the Vatican and the Democrat Party.
Pueblo Sin Fronteras may be the most recognizable name behind the caravans, but global Catholic elites play a central role in the coordination of this transnational human smuggling racket. Trump-bashing, American sovereignty-trashing Pope Francis donated $500,000 nine months ago from his Peter’s Pence fund to assist illegal immigrant caravan participants. The subsidies cover “27 projects in 16 dioceses and Mexican religious congregations” for “housing, food and basic necessities,” as well as “migrant” assistance programs “run by seven dioceses and three religious congregations: the Scalabrinians, the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary and the Hermanas Josefinas,” according to the Catholic News Service.
As I have reported on my investigations in “Open Borders Inc.,” the Catholic “Underground Railroad” of migrant safe houses that extend across Central America, through Mexico, and up to and into the U.S. is a well-oiled machine. The United Nations’ International Organization for Migration in Mexico has guaranteed supplies of medicine, hygiene products, construction materials, as well as therapy services and legal training, for caravan marchers who are housed at the Hermanos en el Camino shelter, along with the Catholic-run Hogar de la Misericordia shelter and Jesus el Buen Pastor del Pobre y el Migrante shelter. Funding comes not just from Catholic parishioners, but also U.S. tax dollars. The La 72 shelter in Tenosique is run by Franciscans. The El Caminante shelter in Palenque is overseen by Catholic nuns. The Scalabrinians operate Casa del Migrante in Tijuana and have managed an entire shelter ministry network since 1999.
On the southern border of Mexico in Chiapas, the city of Tapachula is the first entry point for Central Americans headed to the U.S. There, the Fray Matias de Cordova Human Rights Center provides “comprehensive support” to illegal immigrant travelers including legal consultations, monitoring of detention centers and “online resources, art and social activities, job training, and basic social services.” The group has received nearly $200,000 from the liberal MacArthur Foundation.
ORDER IT NOW
Also in Tapachula, the Jesuit Refugee Service opens its churches and pastoral centers to provide shelter, monetary aid, voluntary aid and emergency assistance. Its team of lawyers, psychologists, social workers and Jesuit clergy spread from Tapachula to Comalapa and Mexico City. JRS staff served as sherpas for the 2018 caravan marchers and liaisons with the U.N. High Commission for Refugees.
Jaime Calderon Calderon, the Catholic bishop of Tapachula, Mexico, immediately pledged aid this month to the newest waves of border-jumpers and river-crossers, openly acknowledging that he received a heads-up from other bishops in the Northern Triangle (Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador). But while Calderon and the bishops blame “violence” for the most recent invasion, homicide rates have either fluctuated or fallen significantly in Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador since Barack Obama’s executive amnesty programs (DACA and DAPA) were announced in 2012.
Migrants themselves refute the “fleeing violence” narrative: An International Organization for Migration poll of more than 3,200 Guatemalan households in 2016, highlighted by the Center for Immigration Studies’ Kausha Luna, reported that 91% of migrants surveyed had moved to the U.S. for economic reasons (jobs, homes, income boosts)—while only 0.3% blamed violence, 0.2% cited extortion and 0.2% attributed their decision to gangs.
It’s all about the dinero. Central American workers, legal and illegal, sent back nearly $20 billion in remittances to their home countries in 2018, a tidy sum of which will end up back in Catholic collection plates. Remittances sent to El Salvador are now equal to 20% of its GDP; Guatemala, 11%; and Honduras, 18.8%. Meanwhile, the percentage of the population of Guatemala now living in the U.S. is close to 7%; for El Salvador, the percentage now stands at 22%; and for Honduras, we now have absorbed 9.2% of their people.
This is a deliberately orchestrated, relentlessly executed, slow-motion criminal invasion. If my fellow Catholics continue to aid and abet these illegal immigrant gravy trains without consequences, American sovereignty doesn’t have a prayer.

The Institute’s teachers were pouring into local K-12 schools through the J-1 visa program unsupervised. The U.S. Government Accountability Office identified more than 500 “Confucius Institutes” worldwide, with 96 located at colleges and universities in the United States as of December 2018 — the vast majority of them publicly funded institutions. A PRC propaganda outfit called Hanban has provided funding ranging from $900,000 to $1.7 million for “model” Confucius Institutes.

The Student Data-Mining Scandal Under Our Noses


themichellemalkinblog--2020-02-10--Dirty little secret about Democrats’ “New Way Forward Act:” Open-borders Utah Republicans already pa

Dirty little secret about Democrats’ “New Way Forward Act:” Open-borders Utah Republicans already passed it!

Tucker Carlson at Fox News has done heroic work trying to get Americans to wake up to a monstrous campaign in Congress to decriminalize border trespassing , reward criminal aliens , and sabotage what ’ s left of our already crippled deportation system .
As he reported last week , the New Way Forward Act would break the so-called “ prison to deportation pipeline ” by eliminating all categories of crime that previously qualified illegals and non-citizens for automatic deportation .
“ Under current U.S. law , ” he told viewers , “ legal U.S. immigrants can be deported if @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or a ‘ crime of moral turpitude ’ – that is , a vile , depraved act , like molesting a child .
Under the New Way Forward Act , ‘ crimes of moral turpitude ’ are eliminated entirely as a justification for deportation .
And the category of ‘ aggravated felony ’ gets circumscribed too .
What does that mean ?
Consider this : Under current law , immigrants who commit serious crimes – such as robbery , fraud , or child sexual abuse – must be deported , regardless of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ less severe ones like racketeering – require deportation as long as the perpetrator receives at least a one-year sentence .
But if this bill passes the House and Senate and is signed into law by the president , there will no longer be any crimes that automatically require deportation .
None.
” Here ’ s the thing .
While 44 Congressional Democrats are now under much-deserved scrutiny for their support of this extreme measure , open-borders Utah Republicans already passed similar immigration decriminalization “ reforms ” into state law ( HB 244 ) @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the American Civil Liberties Union : “ Utah is known for its red rock canyons , steep ski slopes , and a mega-majority Republican legislature .
And now it can be recognized as one of just a handful of states to pass legislation that helps noncitizens avoid deportation if they are convicted of a misdemeanor .
The bill , which was signed into law by Gov .
Gary Herbert on March 25 , clarifies that misdemeanor convictions in Utah can no longer be interpreted as aggravated felonies for immigration purposes , avoiding automatic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ shop-lifting .
To make this happen , the bill reduces the maximum possible sentence for misdemeanors in Utah by a single day — from 365 days to 364 days .
In an era when lawmakers often pass splashy message bills that create little impact , the new law is just the opposite — a nuanced piece of legislation that spans the twin chasms of criminal justice and immigration reform , while improving the lives of thousands of Utah residents .
…We now join states such as Nevada , California , and Washington that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the goal of reducing the immigration consequences of convictions for noncitizens .
But Utah is one of the few Republican-led states to make this change .
Utah also surprisingly reached the finish line ahead of both Colorado and New York , two states that adopted similar protections in March .
The explicit goal of the bill ’ s supporters was to circumvent federal law .
Here ’ s the open-borders group “ Familia America ” spiking the football : Utah Governor Gary Herbert signed HB 244 into law in late March in what @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reform in the state .
HB 244 puts an end to misdemeanor convictions being interpreted as aggravated felonies for noncitizens .
This helps those accused of crimes that are petty as shoplifting to avoid automatic deportation .
HB 244 accomplishes its purpose by reducing the maximum possible misdemeanor sentence in the state by one day—to 364 days instead of 365 , allowing circumvention of a federal immigration law that treats state misdemeanors as felonies when the potential sentence for the offender is one year or more .
It ’ s bad enough that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Romney , Indian green card pimp Sen. Mike Lee , and previous open-borders Chamber of Commerce stooges Bob Bennett , shamnesty shill Chris Cannon , and Jon McCain Huntsman .
But Utah voters also elected a governor and legislature that unanimously adopted this law for immigration outlaws .
As the ACLU crowed : Let me repeat the stomach-turning phrase in that sentence : No resistance .
Here are the Utah bill sponsors ( State Rep. Eric Hutchings and State Sen. Daniel Thatcher ) and staff responsible for coddling illegal alien criminals and paving @ @ @ @ @ @ @ leftists : Utah Gov .
Gary Herbert is one of the 18 Republican refugee resettlement racket governors who betrayed American citizens seeking to exercise local control over who gets dumped in their backywards .
So you will not be shocked to learn that it was Republican refugee racketeers who were behind the “ Way Forward ” bill in Utah : The idea for the bill originated with the Refugee Justice League , a group of over 700 attorneys who volunteer their time to help refugees who are discriminated against .
Co-founder James McConkie @ @ @ @ @ @ @ organization ’ s first priority during this year ’ s legislative session .
McConkie said the current conflict in the law is especially damaging to refugees , who can be automatically deported for crimes as simple as joyriding .
This often removes a father from the home , he said , and leaves a family struggling to make ends meet .
Or young people , he said , can be deported and separated from their families because of minor crimes .
And when refugees are sent out of the country , McConkie said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of how dangerous their home countries are .
Never mind the dangers that criminal refugees are bringing to our country !
Here are the Utah members of the Refugee Justice League that pushed the state ’ s “ Way Forward ” decriminalization of criminal aliens : The “ Way Forward ” coalition of Open Borders Inc. Democrats and Republicans have linked the Utah effort with the national bill sponsored by Illinois Democrat Jesus Garcia .
Here ’ s how one left-wing cheerleader put it : In other words , the “ New Way @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has been aimed for decades at repealing the 1996 Clinton-era Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act ( IIRAIRA ) , which agitators blame on “ mass incarceration ” of illegal and criminal aliens .
“ Fix 96 ” is a hobby horse of the Soros-funded Left , led by the ACLU , the Immigrant Defense Project and Immigrant Justice Network collaboration between IDP , illegal alien sanctuary-promoting Immigrant Legal Resource Center , and National Immigration Project of the Communist Party member-founded , Soros-funded National Lawyers Guild .
Here are the national promoters @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Left , the majority of which are non-profit , tax exempt “ charities ” that will be familiar to Open Borders Inc. readers .
One of the promoters is the tax-subsidized refugee resettlement contractor Church World Service .
There ’ s also the George Clooney-supported Young Center for Immigrant Children ’ s Rights , Muslim grievance groups CAIR and MPAC , assorted Catholic social justice warriors , and the National Education Association .

Tucker Carlson at Fox News has done heroic work trying to get Americans to wake up to a monstrous campaign in Congress to decriminalize border trespassing, reward criminal aliens, and sabotage what’s left of our already crippled deportation system. As he reported last week, the New Way Forward Act would break the so-called “prison to deportation pipeline” by eliminating all categories of crime that previously qualified illegals and non-citizens for automatic deportation.
“Under current U.S. law,” he told viewers, “legal U.S. immigrants can be deported if they commit an ‘aggravated felony’ or a ‘crime of moral turpitude’ – that is, a vile, depraved act, like molesting a child. Under the New Way Forward Act, ‘crimes of moral turpitude’ are eliminated entirely as a justification for deportation. And the category of ‘aggravated felony’ gets circumscribed too. What does that mean? Consider this: Under current law, immigrants who commit serious crimes – such as robbery, fraud, or child sexual abuse – must be deported, regardless of the sentence they receive. Other crimes – less severe ones like racketeering – require deportation as long as the perpetrator receives at least a one-year sentence. But if this bill passes the House and Senate and is signed into law by the president, there will no longer be any crimes that automatically require deportation. None.”
Here’s the thing. While 44 Congressional Democrats are now under much-deserved scrutiny for their support of this extreme measure, open-borders Utah Republicans already passed similar immigration decriminalization “reforms” into state law (HB 244) last year–with the praise and approval of the American Civil Liberties Union:
“Utah is known for its red rock canyons, steep ski slopes, and a mega-majority Republican legislature. And now it can be recognized as one of just a handful of states to pass legislation that helps noncitizens avoid deportation if they are convicted of a misdemeanor. The bill, which was signed into law by Gov. Gary Herbert on March 25, clarifies that misdemeanor convictions in Utah can no longer be interpreted as aggravated felonies for immigration purposes, avoiding automatic deportation for a crime as simple as shop-lifting. To make this happen, the bill reduces the maximum possible sentence for misdemeanors in Utah by a single day — from 365 days to 364 days. In an era when lawmakers often pass splashy message bills that create little impact, the new law is just the opposite — a nuanced piece of legislation that spans the twin chasms of criminal justice and immigration reform, while improving the lives of thousands of Utah residents. …We now join states such as Nevada, California, and Washington that have passed so-called 364-day laws, with the goal of reducing the immigration consequences of convictions for noncitizens. But Utah is one of the few Republican-led states to make this change. Utah also surprisingly reached the finish line ahead of both Colorado and New York, two states that adopted similar protections in March.
The explicit goal of the bill’s supporters was to circumvent federal law. Here’s the open-borders group “Familia America” spiking the football:
Utah Governor Gary Herbert signed HB 244 into law in late March in what is seen as a step toward immigration reform in the state. HB 244 puts an end to misdemeanor convictions being interpreted as aggravated felonies for noncitizens. This helps those accused of crimes that are petty as shoplifting to avoid automatic deportation. HB 244 accomplishes its purpose by reducing the maximum possible misdemeanor sentence in the state by one day—to 364 days instead of 365, allowing circumvention of a federal immigration law that treats state misdemeanors as felonies when the potential sentence for the offender is one year or more.
It’s bad enough that Utah voters gave us traitorous snake Mitt Romney, Indian green card pimp Sen. Mike Lee, and previous open-borders Chamber of Commerce stooges Bob Bennett, shamnesty shill Chris Cannon, and Jon McCain Huntsman. But Utah voters also elected a governor and legislature that unanimously adopted this law for immigration outlaws. As the ACLU crowed:
Despite some indications that prosecutors would oppose the bill in Utah, no resistance materialized to the bill as it passed both chambers by unanimous votes.
Let me repeat the stomach-turning phrase in that sentence: No resistance.
Here are the Utah bill sponsors (State Rep. Eric Hutchings and State Sen. Daniel Thatcher) and staff responsible for coddling illegal alien criminals and paving a path for “Way Forward” leftists:
Utah Gov. Gary Herbert is one of the 18 Republican refugee resettlement racket governors who betrayed American citizens seeking to exercise local control over who gets dumped in their backywards.
So you will not be shocked to learn that it was Republican refugee racketeers who were behind the “Way Forward” bill in Utah:
The idea for the bill originated with the Refugee Justice League, a group of over 700 attorneys who volunteer their time to help refugees who are discriminated against. Co-founder James McConkie said Hutchings’ bill is the Utah-based organization’s first priority during this year’s legislative session. McConkie said the current conflict in the law is especially damaging to refugees, who can be automatically deported for crimes as simple as joyriding. This often removes a father from the home, he said, and leaves a family struggling to make ends meet. Or young people, he said, can be deported and separated from their families because of minor crimes. And when refugees are sent out of the country, McConkie said their lives are on the line because of how dangerous their home countries are.
Never mind the dangers that criminal refugees are bringing to our country!
Here are the Utah members of the Refugee Justice League that pushed the state’s “Way Forward” decriminalization of criminal aliens:
The “Way Forward” coalition of Open Borders Inc. Democrats and Republicans have linked the Utah effort with the national bill sponsored by Illinois Democrat Jesus Garcia. Here’s how one left-wing cheerleader put it:
Earlier this year in Utah, a Republican governor and legislature passed a bill to reduce the maximum sentence for a misdemeanor by one day—from 365 days to 364. The singular point of that tiny change was to exploit a legal loophole so that wide swaths of immigrant defendants could be shielded from automatic deportation for misdemeanors. (Under one of Clinton’s laws, crimes punishable by 365 days or more in prison trigger automatic deportation.) Prosecutors in New York State endorsed a similar bill, which was enacted in April.
In other words, the “New Way Forward” is repackaged community organizing that has been aimed for decades at repealing the 1996 Clinton-era Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRAIRA), which agitators blame on “mass incarceration” of illegal and criminal aliens. “Fix 96” is a hobby horse of the Soros-funded Left, led by the ACLU, the Immigrant Defense Project and Immigrant Justice Network collaboration between IDP, illegal alien sanctuary-promoting Immigrant Legal Resource Center, and National Immigration Project of the Communist Party member-founded, Soros-funded National Lawyers Guild.
ORDER IT NOW
Here are the national promoters of “Way Forward” on the Left, the majority of which are non-profit, tax exempt “charities” that will be familiar to Open Borders Inc. readers. One of the promoters is the tax-subsidized refugee resettlement contractor Church World Service. There’s also the George Clooney-supported Young Center for Immigrant Children’s Rights, Muslim grievance groups CAIR and MPAC, assorted Catholic social justice warriors, and the National Education Association. Quite the anti-American squad, aren’t they?
