There is no universally agreed-upon number of immigrants who have entered and settled in the United States over the past 20 years. The number is typically described as “tens of millions,” with anywhere from 1-3 million entering each year, depending on the year.
Then you have illegal aliens, whose numbers are impossible to know. Then you have asylum seekers, who likely will become permanent residents, but not certainly.
Donald Trump has suggested he is reconsidering US support for Britain’s sovereignty over the Falkland Islands, in a move likely to strain the “special relationship” between Washington and London.
“I always review every position – that’s just one of many,” the US president told reporters in the White House, in response to a question about whether he was reviewing the US’s position over the South Atlantic islands, an archipelago whose status has long been disputed by Argentina, which claims sovereignty.
Officially, the US takes a neutral position on who has rightful sovereignty over the islands, which Britain first claimed in the late 17th century and has held almost continually since 1833. In practice, it recognizes British administration over the territory, which was the subject of an Argentinian invasion and subsequent military conflict with Britain in 1982.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is jockeying for position ahead of her possible 2028 presidential bid and zeroing in on what is her biggest weakness: electability.
If she enters what is expected to be a crowded Democratic primary, Ocasio-Cortez would be the most well-known liberal in the field and would attract much of the support that backed Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) in the 2016 and 2020 Democratic primaries.
Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., thinks the problem Democrats had with immigration was not that they allowed millions of illegals to invade the country, but rather that Democrats’ simply failed to explain to Americans that they should be grateful for living with illegal aliens who apparently make communities safer.
During an interview with the CT Mirror, Murphy claimed that President Donald Trump was trying to solve a “fake problem” of mass migration being a threat to the American people.
Imploring a young audience to “discard the stuck-on-stupid card,” retired Lieutenant Colonel Alan West then quoted poet Maya Angelou, “When people show you who they are the first time, believe them.” Spoken not just once, “Death to America” has been bellowed a gazillion times by Islamic Shias in Iran and elsewhere including Dearborn, MI. Do you believe them? If not, you own a “stuck-on-stupid” card.
In New York City, Muslims on Times Square incessantly shouted, “Allahu Akbar.” The leader addressing the hyped-up horde said sarcastically, “Don’t scare them, brothers. Relax brothers. Who has seen those videos saying, ‘Oh my God, the Muslims are taking over New York.’ You’ve seen those.” (The “brothers” laugh.) Doubling down, the leader yelled, “Let them know we are taking over New York” as the frenzied mob belted out, “Allahu Akbar.” Do you think they’re serious? If not, you ‘ve got a “stuck-on-stupid” card.
Venezuela’s interim president, Delcy Rodríguez, has defended her government’s highly controversial energy deal with Donald Trump, insisting the South American country will maintain ownership and sovereignty over its massive oil reserves.
Rodríguez, who assumed power in January after Trump ordered the abduction of the president, Nicolás Maduro, took to the airwaves on Saturday to push back against criticism of what the US president has called “the biggest oil deal in world history”.
“The benefits are endless,” claimed Rodríguez, a former vice-president whom Trump backed after ordering Maduro’s capture during a special forces raid on the capital, Caracas.
The Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks – which killed nearly 3,000 Americans (and other nationalities) – may seem like yesterday’s news to some, but their impact remains today.
Indeed, 9/11 was a serious warning to America and the entire West of how terrorists and other bad actors wishing us harm can easily exploit our immigration systems.

Michigan’s Democratic US senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed apologized to the state’s Jewish Democratic Caucus on Saturday for comments he made after an attack on a synagogue in March, which he tied to Israel’s actions in the Middle East.
“My comments may have been misconstrued to justify something I did not mean to justify,” El-Sayed told reporters after he addressed the caucus at a party convention in Lansing. “To anyone who feels like my comments might have been hurtful, I’m really sorry. That was not my intention.”
The two wars have both demonstrated the importance of unmanned systems in war and demolished the myths that have driven U.S. National Security polices for the last 25 years.
The late former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld created the most damaging myth by replacing traditional military threat planning with the delusion that pirates and terrorists would be America’s primary future threats. He rejected any concerns about a near peer opponent. That and Rumsfeld’s faith in promised new technologies, led to acquisition decisions that saddled the U.S. Navy with trouble-plagued warships that cannot be deployed safely into a combat zone. That is, the Littoral Combat Ships (LCS’s) and Zumwalt-class stealth “guided missile” destroyers (DDGs). Reportedly designed for “Littoral Warfare” like the U.S. Navy is currently fighting in the Strait of Hormuz, they are in fact not suitable for either “littoral” or broad ocean area warfare.
British political commentator Milo Yiannopoulos has been deported from the United States to his native UK following an arrest this week by ICE.
A Department of Homeland Security spokesman told NBC News on Saturday that Yiannopoulos had been removed from the country one day after being arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers at the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport on Friday.
The National Association of Christian Lawmakers and its partners asked the administration to direct the State Department and Department of Homeland Security to develop “lawful, secure, and appropriately expedited pathways” for eligible Jewish Canadian nationals and their immediate family members.

The United States has threatened to oppose Britain’s sovereignty over the Falkland Islands if Andy Burnham does not increase defence spending, The Telegraph can reveal.
The proposal is among measures being drawn up by senior defence officials at the Pentagon as an incentive to hit Nato’s 5 per cent spending pledge.
A senior US official told The Telegraph that Britain was likely to receive “special attention” in Washington’s review of its allies’ commitment to Nato, which will examine whether member nations have credible paths toward the target.
A group with special operations and intelligence skills and filmmaker Chris Burgard teamed up on Saturday to teach pastors in East Texas how to respond to the rise of Islam in the Lone Star State.
The Allied Special Intelligence Group is an organization that uses its knowledge of special operations military skills, counterintelligence, and human intelligence to educate and train citizens on how to “legally and lawfully, delay, disrupt, dismantle, and remove Communists/Marxists and Terrorists networks from our communities in order to restore and protect our Constitutional Republic.”
As my PJ Media colleague Sarah Anderson reported Friday night, President Donald Trump dropped one of the biggest energy announcements of his second term on Friday evening, revealing that the United States and Venezuela had signed what he called “the biggest oil deal in world history.” The agreement hands America majority control over more than 65 billion barrels of Venezuela’s proven oil reserves, and Trump wasted no time celebrating.
