Houston, Texas, is likely one of the uncommon, good huge cities left on this nation. A bit of scorching in the summertime, however nice folks, very fairly neighborhoods and lots occurring. Because of the power sector, biotech and aerospace, Houston has an unlimited and nonetheless strong economic system. It’s hardly some dying mill city within the Northeast or the Higher Midwest. Your youngsters may need to transfer to Houston sometime, possibly after school. It isn’t Baltimore. 

However rapidly Houston, Texas is beginning to look a bit of extra like Baltimore. Crime in Houston has gotten scary. The homicide fee there has risen by greater than 50% in simply the final 12 months. It is dangerous. Here is an area information report: 

MATTHEW SEEDORFF, KRIV REPORTER: A lethal begin to the 12 months throughout Houston. Police investing at the least 41 homicides by way of 24 days.  … To this point this 12 months Houston has extra murders than New York Metropolis, Los Angeles, even Chicago. 

DOUGLAS GRIFFITH, HOUSTON POLICE OFFICERS’ UNION PRESIDENT: It’s a type of issues the place I’m fearful only for my household to exit of the home. 

MATTHEW SEEDORFF, KRIV REPORTER: The president of the Houston Police Officers union pissed off. 

DOUGLAS GRIFFITH, HOUSTON POLICE OFFICERS’ UNION PRESIDENT: If it retains up this tempo we’re going to be properly over 500 murders this 12 months.

I am fearful only for my household to go exterior the home. As you heard, that was the president of the police union in Houston, so he would know. It is wonderful that is taking place in every single place in Houston, and what’s so telling about this crime wave is how lately it started. 

SAN FRANCISCO MAYOR LONDON BREED DOWNPLAYS CRIME IN CITY AS RIGHT WING MEDIA ‘NOISE’

Murders in Houston began to spike in an enormous manner after Joe Biden grew to become president. Why is that precisely? Quite simple reply: Joe Biden opened the southern border. Texas shares greater than 1,200 miles of border with Mexico. There’s a brutal cartel struggle underway in Mexico proper now. It has been occurring for a very long time. Lots of the combatants in that struggle have now moved north into Texas. They introduced medicine with them. They’ve additionally introduced machine weapons. 

This fall, a felon opened fireplace on Houston law enforcement officials with a totally computerized rifle. You hear lots about assault weapons. However the reality is authorities do not see absolutely computerized weapon weapons fairly often. They’re closely regulated, and usually they’re owned by collectors. 

However computerized weapons are quite common in struggle zones, and there’s a struggle in Mexico. So, with no border in place, the cartels are bringing their armaments right here. There are firefights in Houston.

POLICE OFFICER: It is Houston police. Let’s do that the simple … (gunshots within the background).

That is computerized weapons, fireplace. It seems like Syria or Mexico, nevertheless it’s an house complicated in Houston, Texas. We may go on if you realize anyone who lives in Houston. Name and ask, How has your metropolis modified lately? They usually’ll inform you. Open borders did this, Houston did not do it to itself, this was finished to Houston and never simply to Houston, to so many locations throughout this nation the place tens of millions of unlawful aliens have flooded in throughout Joe Biden’s presidency. 

HOUSE PROGRESSIVES URGE BIDEN TO TAKE SLEW OF EXECUTIVE ACTIONS ON IMMIGRATION

On Monday, for instance, greater than 100 unlawful Haitian migrants landed within the Florida Keys in a single boat. Situations like this are not unusual within the state of Florida. The world is coming to America’s shores. Why? As a result of they’re absolutely conscious that the Biden administration is rewarding overseas nationals for violating our federal immigration legislation. It’s an invasion. 

Large numbers of People are dying on account of that invasion. 100,000 lifeless final 12 months of drug addicts. Most have been killed by fentanyl that’s trucked in from Mexico throughout open borders. Long run, there are huge labor market disruptions, there may be evaporating social cohesion and so forth. The prices of this have been past calculating, and that is precisely why no sane nation opens its borders ever, ever, wherever. 

What Joe Biden is doing proper now has by no means been finished, and it is about to get a lot worse. We’re not guessing. At present, a Trump period regulation known as Title 42 permits the Border Patrol to show unlawful migrants again to Mexico on the grounds that there is a pandemic in progress, so we in all probability should not let tens of millions of individuals contaminated with COVID transfer right here with out permission. Appears smart. However in accordance with Democrats, this rule is racist as a result of it’d gradual the human wave of migration. So for months, they have been demanding that the Biden administration droop this rule. 

SEN. CHUCK SCHUMER: I urge President Biden and Secretary Mallorca’s to right away put a cease to those expulsions and to finish this Title 42 coverage at our southern border. We can not proceed these hateful and xenophobic Trump insurance policies. 

REP. SHEILA JACKSON LEE: As well as, a relic, Title 42, exists. It’s a relic of the Trump administration. It was created to be mean-spirited. … Title 42, I ask for a suspension of it. 

SEN. ALEX PADILLA: I urge the Biden administration and my colleagues to recollect the refugees who’re ready at our border, saved out by the merciless and pointless Title 42 coverage. 

SEN. BOB MENENDEZ: Look, Title 42 is being utilized in a manner that I feel is indiscriminate and that violates the fundamental essence of our legislation. … However this course of that the Biden administration has continued from the Trump administration in my thoughts is absolutely inexcusable.

So, your child has to put on a masks at school, however unlawful aliens get to return right here with no restrictions in any respect, regardless of the very fact they could be contaminated with COVID as a result of in any other case you are a racist. 

BIDEN ADMIN SETS UP ‘WAR ROOM’ TO PREPARE FOR LOOMING MIGRANT SURGE: REPORT

That is the case they have been making, and so lastly, inevitably, the Biden administration has caved. Seems even attempting to take care of fundamental public well being requirements is unacceptable if it will get in the way in which of accelerating mass immigration. Title 42 is being nullified. 

An identical rule you need to know will nonetheless apply to you. Americans are usually not exempt to at the present time. You as a citizen are usually not allowed to return to the USA with out permission from the CDC. Rochelle Walensky will log out on that. So coming again to the nation you have been born in is not your birthright. However unlawful aliens now face no boundaries in any respect. And naturally, they understand it. Everybody is aware of it. It isn’t their fault. It is our president’s fault.

In line with Axios, “U.S. intelligence officers are privately bracing for a large inflow of greater than 170,000 migrants on the Mexico border” now that Title 42 is ending. 

So the wave grows, the entire transformation of this nation accelerates. So we have been very passive within the face of this, folks make grumpy noises about it, nobody’s finished something. How ought to we reply? 

Nicely, the identical manner we reply to some other invasion. With the U.S. army. That is why international locations have militaries to cease invasions, and this may not be a tough invasion to cease. Our army may seal the border with Mexico in days. That will save American lives. It could restore order. And it will finish the invasion. 

Does that sound loopy like a misuse of the U.S. army? Nicely, remember that Nancy Pelosi known as within the US.. army to guard her from Trump voters on the U.S. Capitol. She handled our troopers like her private safety element. 

MCCARTHY SAYS BIDEN HAS ‘FAILED TO LISTEN OR ACT’ ON BORDER CRISIS, AS FEBRUARY NUMBERS CLIMB

After which, in fact, at this very second, we’re sending 1000’s of American troops and billions in army American army {hardware} to Japanese Europe to assist Ukrainians restore their borders. So the apparent query is: Why not right here? Why not take America’s security, your loved ones’s security, as significantly as Nancy Pelosi takes her personal security? 

That looks as if a good query. In all probability not Russian disinformation. In all probability an sincere query. We spoke to Rep. Maria Salazar in Miami final evening, and we requested that query of her. She refused to reply. 

TUCKER: I simply can’t assist discover the distinction between your need to ship MiGs to Ukraine to protect its borders, however not right here. Ought to we ship the U.S. army to the Mexican border, since you might have admitted that tens of tens of millions of individuals have come right here illegally, that our borders are porous? They don’t seem to be defended, they’re open. Ought to we ship the U.S. army to the Mexican border? 

SALAZAR: That’s the reason I’ve created an entire plan, so we are able to actually seal the border, as a result of you realize what? My neighborhood, those that I characterize – 

TUCKER: Would you name for sending – 

SALAZAR: Let me end. Let me end – 

TUCKER: Do you characterize America, if I may say? 

…

TUCKER: I am asking query of borders. All of us are appalled by the violation of Ukraine’s borders. You do not appear as appalled by the violation of our borders by tens of tens of millions of individuals. So let me ask you for the third time. 

SALAZAR: Certain, I do. That is a misrepresentation. 

TUCKER: You assist army gear — okay, then, would you assist the U.S. army securing the USA border tonight or on the identical timetable as sending MiGs to Ukraine? How about that? 

SALAZAR: That is hypothetical once more.

Oh, it is hypothetical. I’ve acquired a plan, proper? What number of plans have you ever heard about from Republicans for, say, the previous twenty-five years? Many, many, many. 

To restate it is a extremely harmful scenario that the Biden administration has positioned our nation in. Mexico, no matter its deserves, is in the course of a struggle, not a brand new struggle, a struggle that has raged on for greater than a decade, a struggle that has possible killed greater than 100,000 folks to date. 

There are movies of vehicles burning within the city of Nuevo Laredo. That is simply toes from the U.S. border within the state of Texas. The video is the aftermath with three hour gun battle between cartels and authorities forces. The scenario there may be so chaotic that the vehicles simply burn in the course of the highway. Nobody involves put out the fires to revive order to arrest anybody. 

In order that’s not a legislation enforcement motion. That is a struggle. That is what wars are like. Just a few years in the past, the Sinaloa cartel used heavy machine weapons and armored automobiles to win a pitched battle towards the Mexican army. That is a struggle, a civil struggle. Toes from our border. That is the nation Joe Biden opened our border to. It is madness. 

And but in some way our Congress can’t be bothered to note this, any of it, whilst tens of millions stream throughout. Homicide victims in Houston, apparently do not have influential social media accounts, so Kevin McCarthy does not know that they exist. And that is a disgrace as a result of when he sees that on Tik Tok, he acts. 

Here is McCarthy demanding we ship army gear internationally to cease the invasion of one other nation:

KEVIN MCCARTHY: We take into consideration what President Biden ought to do. I feel there is a bipartisan motion proper right here. Present them the MiGs, present them the planes the place they’ll create a no-fly zone, present them the armament that they should proceed to struggle … a struggle that they didn’t create. 

So McCarthy says of the Ukrainians, it is a struggle they did not create, and that’s definitely true. The Ukrainians didn’t create that struggle. The Ukrainians didn’t invade their very own nation. However we didn’t both. We did not invade our personal nation. Only a few People wished to open our border to a narco state in the course of a drug struggle. Joe Biden did that to us. 

And nobody cares. So possibly we want our personal Zelensky to get the world’s consideration and cease the invasion of America. Who will that be?
