CNN reported, “Several busloads of migrants were dropped off in front of Vice President Kamala Harris’ residence in Washington, DC, on Christmas Eve in 18 degree weather late Saturday. A CNN team saw some migrants wearing only T-shirts in the freezing weather.” (Read story here and watch the [...]

GOP Christmas Eve migrant stunt reeks of cruelty
Why are so many migrants coming to the U.S.?
Not because Biden is letting them in, or Trump’s border wall wasn’t completed. “The impact of the pandemic just imploded economies everywhere, especially in the really badly governed countries like Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua,” an administration official said. “People are a[...]
Martha’s Vineyard migrant recruiter ID’d
The 48 Venezuelan asylum seekers flown from Texas to Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis — who used federal Covid-19 relief money to pay for the expensive flights — were recruited by a bilingual woman who called herself “Perla.” She’s ca[...]
Hunger Games, migrant version
“The Most Dangerous Game,” written in 1924, is a famous and widely read short story. It’s about a man who hunts people for sport (details here). It apparently wasn’t the inspiration for “Hunger Games,” whose author says she drew on Greek mythology for her theme of[...]
Republicans are lying about “Biden’s open border policy”
If you were shopping for a home, a car, a plumbing repair, or investing your savings, would you do business with someone you knew is dishonest and was lying to you about what they’re selling? I don’t really understand why normally sensible people leave their common sense behind when it c[...]

How GOP Texas governor spends taxpayer money

The Daily Mail says this dough paid for transporting more than 7,400 migrants out of Texas, which by my rough calculation comes out to about $1,700 per nose. The ben[...]

There’s speculation the wind blew them over (see story here). Maybe they needed more ballast? Return to The-Ave.US Home Page[...]
Does this judge think he’s president, or is he simply incompetent?
Congress doesn’t give ICE nearly enough resources to deport all illegals, so it has to prioritize. This is done by the agency’s political bosses in Washington D.C. In fact, a federal law explicitly makes Department Homeland Security (DHS) secretaries responsible for “establishing natio[...]
