Sen Cruz demands Biden allow freedom of the press at the border crisis

Fox News exclusively reported on Sunday that Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) called upon so-called President Biden permit the media their constitutional right to access the southern border facilities to report on the situation. 

Unaccompanied migrant children are being held in transparent cages in overcrowded conditions where they sleep at night in such close proximity to each other that they must sleep on their sides due to the limited space. Fully ten percent of the migrants have tested positive for COVID-19 and if this isn't a COVID super-spreader, nothing is.

Sen. Cruz send a letter to Biden [below] after he and 18 other senators toured the Donna, Texas migrant facility last week where he saw children packed in "pods," and babies brought to the border by human traffickers of Mexican cartels.

While the Biden administration blamed Trump for the situation, it was the Biden roll-back that created the crisis--you only need to look at the numbers to come to that conclusion.

"We understand the heartbreaking tragedy unfolding at the border because we were there. We saw it," Cruz said in the letter. "But the American people are unable to see it because you remain intent on keeping the media from shining a light on your administration’s failures."

Cruz described the border situation as "inhumane" and "wrong." And clearly, the Biden administration is trying to hide it from Americans. Even journalists are criticizing his lack of transparency.

"I will commit to transparency, and – as soon as I am in a position to be able to implement what we are doing right now," Biden said Thursday when asked at last week's prepared questioned press conference.

"And one of the reasons I haven’t gone down ... is I don’t want to become the issue. I don’t want to be, you know, bringing all of the Secret Service and everybody with me to get in the way. So this is being set up, and you’ll have full access to everything once we get this thing moving," he said.

He doesn't want to "become the issue?" He's the freaking President of the United States. How would he become the issue? What does that even mean?

According to Cruz, not one reporter was allowed access to the facility where about 4,200 illegal aliens were packed into a facility designed to accommodate 250 people. 

"They could not show the American people cages after cages of little boys lying side-by-side, of little girls lying side-by-side, covered with reflective emergency blankets with virtually no space between them," Cruz said. "They could not see the playpen of infants and toddlers brought here by human traffickers and then left alone. They could not see the row of children who, having just been crammed into the crowded cages, were now testing positive for COVID-19."

Also, all media and senators were denied access to a clandestine processing center hidden under a bridge across the border. Even there, Cruz said that a "political appointee" jumped in front of his camera to stop him from taking photos and video which he posted online.

"This is outrageous. The Trump administration allowed media into DHS facilities. So did the Obama administration, the Bush administration and the Clinton administration. But you want to hide what is going on," he said.

Yes, that's exactly what they want to do and they are getting away with it because the Republican Party and the media don't have the balls to force the issue. It's a strong letter, but that's all it is.

A slip of the truth contradicting Biden may get MSNBC reporter in trouble

MSNBC's "Live with Stephanie Ruhle" had correspondent Dasha Burns from sister station NBC News on to give a report about the crisis at the southern border. Well, believe it or not, Burns' report went against the Biden-Harris administration's claims about the situation.

A woman told Burns straight out that "He [Biden] would allow us to come over and live here legally."

Burns also explained that the DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas' claim that the Border Patrol is turning back illegal border crosses who are family units, is false.

The segment began with Mayorkas appearing on NBC's "Meet the Press" claiming: "The border is closed. We are expelling families -- we are expelling single adults -- and we've made a decision that we will not expel young, vulnerable children."

After a soundbite of Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) from the same show arguing that the border has effectively been made open for illegals, Geoff Bennett, who was filling-in for Ruhle, brought along Burns, who immediately disputed Mayorkas's lies:

"The Biden administration is trying to message that borders are closed -- only unaccompanied minors are allowed in. But here in the Rio Grande Valley, we are seeing a majority of families allowed to stay. in the United States. In fact, just on Saturday, there were 1,800 encounters with folks traveling in family units Border Patrol, and only 200 of those were expelled back to Mexico."

Burns soon informed the five or six viewers of the show that illegals openly admitted that they chose to come now in part because President Biden made them believe it would be easier to get into the country: 

"And when we asked the question of why now, the majority of people we spoke with did say that this new administration -- the Biden administration -- gave them hope and played into their decision-making to come right now."

A translator was also seen translating for one woman recalling how she reacted to Biden coming into office: "I was very happy, you know, because we got word that he was going to help us, the immigrants."

[The reality is, he isn't helping the illegal aliens as much as he's helping the Democratic Party stay in power for all the foreseeable future.]

After Burns followed up, "How did you think he would help? How did you hear about how he might help immigrants?" the translator related her response: "He would allow us to come over and live here legally."

Hopefully, MSNBC will allow for more honesty in their reporting, but I don't hold out much hope and I sure am not holding my breath.

Obama keeping lawmakers in the dark over secret refugee deal

Almost 2,500 refugees and terrorists from Islamic terrorism hot spots around the world are coming to the U.S. because Australia is smart enough not to take them. They just don't want any trouble, as it were.

But our top lawmakers are not being told about who these people are, and you can bet that among them will be people who are not taken kindly to infidels.

In a sneaky, unprecedented move of audacious proportions, the U.S. State Department has made a secret deal with Australia to resettle 2,465 unvetted refugees currently held in Papua New Guinea and Nauru. Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull called the deal a "one-off."

Don Barnett of the Center for Immigration Studies said "This is a backroom deal, wheeling and dealing with another country's refugee problem. I don't believe for a moment it's a one-time deal. That's for public consumption."

The shady move has raised a red flag among Congressional oversight members whose job it is to review, monitor and supervise federal agencies, programs, activities and policy implementation. When you keep the oversight committee in the dark, then you are probably doing something the public you work for doesn't want you to do.

Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) dispatched a letter to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson and Secretary of State John "Lurch" Kerry complaining of a lack of transparency.

The letter read in part, "This situation is concerning for many reasons . . . your departments negotiated an international agreement regarding refugees without consulting or notifying Congress."

And the Obama administration is upset that Trump spoke on the phone to the President of Taiwan?

U.S. Customs and Immigration Services will be sending screeners to the Pacific Islands next month to begin the magic vetting process. They will ask such questions as:

1. Did you pack your bags yourself?2. Do you know what's in them?3. Are you a terrorist?

Those who initially probed the number of possible terrorists and others being considered for resettlement were told that it was "classified," in spite of the fact that refugee admissions are traditionally public. Officials did, however, confirm the countries of origin to be Iran (great going Obama), Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Somalia, Iraq and Sudan. Some are also deemed as "stateless." 

Iran, Sudan and Syria are on the State Sponsors of Terrorism list, while the others are working hard to make the list. Those listed as "stateless" are the most likely to go off half-cocked because we know the least about them. 

Speaking about the "stateless" refugees, Barnett said, "These could be Burmese Muslims, who have posed assimilation issues for every nation which has taken them. It's a dangerous precedent which says, 'We'll take any ethnic group with which you don't get along."

It also says "Give me your tired, your poor, your suicide bombers, yearning to kill me, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the stateless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp in surrender beside the golden door!"

Australia has a long-standing policy that prevents people seeking asylum from entering their country before being fully vetted. The U.S.? Not so much.

The Grassley-Goodlatte letter asked why Australia and other nations refused to take in these refugees. We are all waiting with baited breath (which smells like worms, I guess) for an answer.

"If they've been vetted and deemed inadmissible, the U.S. can't say, 'You don't want them, so we'll take them,'" Barnett said.

At a November 14 press conference, Turnbull said, "Nobody is taking any more refugees, but what the Americans are doing is assisting these individuals on Nauru and Manus by bringing them in within their existing quota."

Obama increased the quota for the 12-month period that began in October. Last year it was 85,000 refugees; this year it's 110,000!

PM Turnbull's announcement that Australia would be "taking more refugees from Central America" as part of "commitments at President Obama's Refugee Summit" has lawmakers speculating that the deal is a trade of dangerous refugees for Central America refugees that Australia would be getting. 

It's kind of like the Iran nuclear deal but with human "nukes" instead of actual nukes.

The Grassley-Goodlatte committee representatives will receive a classified briefing in the Australian refugee deal next week. There will be plenty of questions that we'll never get the answers to--the cost, timing, how it will benefit tue U.S. and why the heck was the deal done in secret by "the most transparent administration in the history of the United States."

Syrian refugees and the limited job market

According to the website Muslim Statistics, about 65% of Syrian refugees entering Germany will have a tougher time than non-refugees in academic fields such as law and medicine. This is due in large part to the fact that they are functionally illiterate. 

Just try getting through med school or law school without being able to read or write. It's really tough.

So if Angela Merkel was hoping the influx of Syrians would enhance the sciences, develop cures for shingles, or create a stronger economy, she was mistaken.

Of course, the same problem exists in all countries in Europe that have been kind enough to take in Syrian "refugees," but isn't it odd that about 70% of these folks are men?

The Obama abomination has agreed to take in 10,000 refugees per year and ISIS has agreed to plant a few of its members among them. This should not be a cause for alarm based on the statistical probability of you actually being personally involved as part of the carnage that may occur.

But even if there isn't an ISIS attack created by the refugee situation, you can bet your grandchildren's future that over 50% of them will receive some form of welfare assistance.

I sincerely hope I'm wrong, but that's the way it's beginning to look in the EU.
