Nearly 26,000 migrants were apprehended by Texas-area Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) agents in under a week, a Monday report states.
The figure is the total number of arrests across five regions of the US-Mexico border within the six-day period ending on July 9, according to documents reviewed by Breitbart
It comes amid a statewide crackdown on undocumented immigrants being led by Texas Governor Greg Abbott.
TORONTO — Ontario Premier Doug Ford is planning to raise immigration and skilled labour shortage issues at a meeting of premiers from across the country next week in Victoria.
The meeting is set to largely focus on health-care issues, with premiers hoping to press the government for increased Canada Health Transfer Funding.
Single companies lacking 700 staff? I am skeptical of the numbers Fordo is throwing around. This sounds more like a wage suppression gambit than a labour shortage.
And aren’t we in the middle of a housing shortage exasperated by Trudeau’s promise to Legault that he would dump the Roxham benefit seekers in Ontario?
City of Toronto staff have unveiled a plan to lease a North York hotel for more than $68 million and convert it into a temporary home for refugees — just weeks after an auditor’s report slammed the city’s handling of contracts with local hotels it uses as shelters.
Coun. John Filion, who represents the area and is also vice chair of the city’s audit committee, said he only found out about the plan to lease the 17-storey Hotel Novotel from city staff less than two weeks ago. Even so, he said he’s committed to ensuring the red flags pointed out by Auditor General Beverly Romeo-Beehler last month are addressed.
“I’m all over the contract,” said Filion, who represents Ward 18, Willowdale. “I want to know everything that’s going on here.”
It started as an experiment, designed to solve staffing shortages at Freshii.
Last year, amidst harsh COVID-19 business restrictions, senior members of Freshii’s management team — including founder and then-CEO Matthew Corrin — quietly began testing a software called “Percy,” a video-calling device attached to cash registers at select franchise locations.
The software was built to connect Freshii patrons with cheap, outsourced workers based in countries thousands of kilometres away. The idea, the creators said, was to help franchise owners cut down on labour costs while keeping their doors open in case local staff called in sick.
I can see why we need record immigration.
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — A police officer armed with a rifle watched the gunman in the Uvalde elementary school massacre walk toward the campus but did not fire while waiting for permission from a supervisor to shoot, according to a sweeping critique released Wednesday on the tactical response to the May tragedy.
Some of the 21 victims at Robb Elementary School, including 19 children, possibly “could have been saved” on May 24 had they received medical attention sooner while police waited more than an hour before breaching the fourth-grade classroom, a review by a training center at Texas State University for active shooter situations found.
Canada has long had an immigration system that worked — one that we could be proud of — but right now, no one can say that. Like so many government services these days, the immigration system simply isn’t working like it should.
It’s deliberate. Anyone who belives in secure borders and the rule of law is painted as racist by Trudeau and his media sycophants.
Addressing the “great taboo” of our time – the fact that sub-Saharan immigration to Europe is spiraling upwards out of control.
His name is Stephen Smith, he is a leftist but an all facts and no ideology scholar who inspired Emmanuel Macron. “We are facing an unprecedented migration phenomenon,” said Macron. A phenomenon that according to the French president is “described tremendously well” by Stephen Smith in his book Escape to Europe.
On the cover there is the dark night of the African continent and the illuminated one of the European Eldorado. The great “taboo” of our time, explained Smith to Le Figaro. A former analyst for the United Nations and the International Crisis Group, Smith was a correspondent from Africa for Libération and Le Monde – two left-wing newspapers – and now teaches in America at Duke University.
The title of Smith’s new article that appeared this week in Nouvelles de France is chilling: “What if Africa floods us?”. It is the greatest change in population, culture, religion, and society ever experienced in history.
Trump-era programmes are set to expire soon
Even President Biden no longer claims that the border surge is just a seasonal phenomenon that “happens every single solitary year“. May broke the monthly record for the largest number of illegal-alien “encounters” on the southern border, at nearly a quarter-million. While there will certainly be fluctuations, there’s no reason to think the mass violation of America’s border will end so long as the Biden/Harris administration is in power.
President Joe Biden’s border with Mexico is the deadliest land crossing in the world, according to a United Nations group, the International Organization for Migration.
“More than 1,238 lives have been lost during migration in the [north, central and south] Americas in 2021, among them at least 51 children,” said the group’s July 1 report.
The White House appears to be blaming the horrid deaths discovered in San Antonio on Trump and a “closed” border.
After a tractor-trailer packed with more than 60 migrants was found abandoned in San Antonio, reporters pressed White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre for a reaction. As of this writing, 53 have been declared dead.
En route to Madrid with President Joe Biden, Jean-Pierre rightly called the awful story “absolutely horrific and heartbreaking.” She then added, “The border is closed, which is in part why you see people trying to make this dangerous journey using smuggling networks.”
Federal government to transfer willing asylum seekers from Roxham Road to Ontario
Fewer asylum seekers crossing at a popular, unofficial border point south of Montreal will be staying in Quebec, Radio-Canada has learned.
That’s because Ottawa has accepted a repeated request from the provincial government to transfer some people directly to Ontario — if they wish to go there.
With record numbers of claimants currently crossing via the makeshift border point, called Roxham Road, the federal government said it’s working to alleviate some of the pressure on Quebec to provide temporary resources and accommodation for people.
Just what we need in the midst of a housing crisis. No word from Ford on this.
Migrant crossings, rescues and deaths along the southern border have hit record levels under the leadership of President Joe Biden.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is on pace to record more than 2 million arrests this year as hundreds of thousands of migrants seeking to enter the U.S. travel from South and Central America up through Mexico.
Migrant crossing levels have been on the rise since Biden took office with Border Patrol having tallied a record 1.73 million arrests at the border in 2021.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said President Joe Biden’s ‘deadly open border policies’ are to blame for the deaths of the 50 migrants found dead inside an abandoned tractor-trailer in 103-degree heat.
The state’s Republican chief claims the president’s ‘refusal to enforce the law’ caused one of the most deadly incidents of human smuggling along the U.S.-Mexico border.
Firefighters found ‘stacks of bodies’ in a truck next to railroad tracks in San Antonio’s southern outskirts, close to Interstate 35 which runs to the Mexican border, on Monday. There were no signs of water in the truck.
What could possibly go wrong? Border Report notes that “a shelter for Muslim migrants opened over the weekend in Tijuana, the first of its kind in all of Mexico.” This is no small-time effort: “The Latino Muslim Foundation, based in San Diego and Tijuana, raised half a million dollars to make the facility a reality.” Meanwhile, fifty people on the terror watch list have been apprehended at the Southern border so far this year, and there is no telling how many got across without being caught. Welcome to Old Joe Biden’s America.
Back when Democrats were the party of the working man, they would have welcomed news that low-wage workers were in a position to demand higher pay.
Not anymore.
Whether under President Donald Trump or in today’s tight labor market, the left’s transformation into the party of large corporations and the professional-managerial class is evident from its discomfort with low-wage workers being able to raise their earnings.
This is how Freeland and Trudeau are fighting the inflation they helped cause.
