By not enforcing federal immigration laws, the Biden administration is encouraging illegal immigration along our southern border. Mexican cartels dangerously are smuggling children, adults, lethal fentanyl and other drugs into the U.S, overwhelming the U.S. border patrol. U.S. taxpayers are paying to house and process.

Neither the president nor the vice president shows much interest. The vice president lied to NBC anchor Lester Holt on June 8, claiming we have been to the border when she clearly had not been to the border before her June 25 visit. Holts challenge to her lie made the Biden tactics even more shameful. This is a full-blown humanitarian and illegal drug crisis, yet the Trib gives it little coverage.

The Tribune-Review is right to focus its reporting on local news and to use news syndicates such as the Associated Press to report national and international stories. Because the Tribune-Review is reporting little news about this worsening crisis, can we assume that the syndicated news services also are giving little coverage to this major news story?

Voters strongly support legal immigration and strongly oppose illegal immigration. Those applying for citizenship the legal way deserve better. So does our country. What the print and broadcast media elect not to report is often more indicative of political bias than the news that it does report.

Ramsgate RNLI was called for assistance on Saturday

A rescue carried out by Ramsgates RNLI crew for 26 people stranded on a vessel after trying to make the Channel crossing to the UK last weekend has seen a swell of backing for the lifesaving charity.

The group were picked up by the RNLI crew on Saturday (July 3). Ramsgates all-weather lifeboat was tasked at 11.48am to a drifting vessel around 24 miles east of Ramsgate. The volunteer crew recovered the 26 casualties and returned to Ramsgate at 4pm that afternoon.

The incident was caught on film and then posted to social media by former Ukip and Brexit party leader Nigel Farage who claimed the RNLI had become a taxi service for illegal immigration.

The comments were reported in national papers including the Daily Mail.

But the RNLI has responded to say its lifesaving role is humanitarian rescuing vulnerable people in distress.

The statement says: The RNLI is an emergency service and will continue to launch to those in peril at sea when requested to by HM Coastguard, the government agency that initiates and co-ordinates our UK maritime search and rescue activity.

We are a lifesaving charity and, under maritime law and the Safety of Life at Sea Convention (SOLAS), our volunteer lifeboat crews will always go to the aid of those in danger at sea.

We want to be absolutely clear that we are incredibly proud of the humanitarian work our volunteer lifeboat crews do to rescue vulnerable people in distress.

HM Coastguard and the Irish Coast Guard can request any of our lifeboats to launch to an incident. Our lifeboats operate under international maritime law, which states we are permitted and indeed obligated to enter the waters of other territories for search and rescue purposes. Where we believe there is a risk to life at sea, we will always launch. We are not border control and, once a rescue is complete, we hand over responsibility for casualties to UK Border Force and/or the police.

Our charity exists to save lives at sea. Our mission is to save every one. Our lifesavers are compelled to go to those in need without judgement of how they came to be in the water. They have done so since the RNLI was founded in 1824 and this will always be our ethos.

We have been overwhelmed by the supportive messages weve received. We would like to thank you wholeheartedly your kindness means so much to us. It normally costs around 180m each year to run our charity all funded by our generous supporters. We have always been and remain focused on our core purpose: to save lives at sea.

RNLI hits out at Nigel Farage's 'taxi for illegal immigration' jibe after Ramsgate crew carries out rescue op - The Isle of Thanet News

In the last 12 months there has been a massive decrease in illegal migration flows into Greece, with Minister of Immigration and Asylum, Notis Mitarakis saying it is as much as 96%.

The government has now regained control of the immigration crisis. We set two goals, the reduction of flows and the drastic reduction of the effects of the crisis on the local communities of the whole country, stressed Mitarakis.

According to the data presented by Mitarakis, flows in the islands in the last twelve months have decreased by 96%. Of the 121 structures we had, 36 are operating today.

Our islands have been decongested, without putting pressure on mainland Greece, without increasing the presence of refugees and immigrants in large urban centers.

Our goal on the islands is to maintain the low flows, to close the old structures and to create a structure at each point of entry, which will offer decent living conditions and a sense of security that our staff and the local communities demand.

Regarding the island of Chios, the Minister of Immigration and Asylum stated that the goal is to close the Reception and Identification Centre and to return it to the municipality as soon as the closed controlled reception structure opens at the point of entry.

Mitarakis underlined that we have fulfilled all our obligations. We were asked to police the border. We were asked to reduce the flows. And they were. They asked us to decongest.

He explained that on the day of the 2019 elections in Chios, there were 1,978 people in the migrant centre, but today it has reduced to 378.

Is there a border crisis? According to DHS Secretary Alejandro MayorkasAlejandro MayorkasMost Americans think surge of illegal border crossings is a crisis Biden unveils push to encourage US citizenship Photos of the Week: Infrastructure, Britney Spears and Sen. Tillis's dog MORE, there isnt but the illegal crossing numbers indicate that there is.

Illegal border crossings have reacheda 20-year high. In the four months before Biden took office,illegal crossingsaveraged 70,000 a month. The number rose to 97,640 in February, the first full month of Bidens presidency; to 169,204 in March; and to 173,686 in April; and it was 172,011 in May.

Recidivism

Mayorkas claims that the numbers are misleading because they include the recidivists who make more than one illegal crossing.

Recidivism is becoming a major problem. Approximately 38 percent of the illegal crossers arrested in May had tried to cross at least one other time in the past year. Thats up from an average one-year recidivism rate of 15 percent between 2014 and 2019.

But the surge in recidivism is not a mitigating factor. It is part of the crisis.

It is happening because undocumented migrants can make as many illegal crossings as they want without fear of consequences. Illegal entry is a crime, but the U.S. Attorneys Office for the District of Arizona didnt prosecute any illegal crossers in May.

This encourages illegal crossers to keep trying until they succeed. Border security measures are meaningless when the people who are deported today can come back tomorrow.

And once they have succeeded in reaching the interior of the country, they are home free. It is extremely unlikely that they will be put in removal proceedings unless they are convicted of a serious crime in the United States.

Biden replaced the removal grounds that Congress passed with three priority categories. Enforcement actions are limited to deportable aliens who pose a threat to national security, border security, or public safety. Exceptions are possible, but they require preapproval from senior supervisors.

According to Ronald Vitiello, who was ICEs acting director in 2018 and 2019, The odds of being arrested just for being in the country illegally were always extremely low, and now theyve basically ruled it out by policy.

Most registered voters know there is a crisis

A Harvard CAPS/Harris poll that was taken between June 15-17, 2021, found that 74 percent of the registered voters polled think the surge in illegal border crossings is a crisis that must be addressed immediately.

This is particularly significant because 84 percent of them underestimated the number of illegal crossings. Only 7 percent knew that there are between 150,000 and 200,000 illegal crossings a month.

Only 36 percent think that Biden should continue his current border security polices; 64 percent think he should issue stricter policies to reduce illegal crossings.

Most voters (68 percent) think that Bidens immigration executive orders encourage illegal immigration, and 55 percent think that his border policies are increasing the flow of drugs and crime into the United States.

More than half (55 percent) think that Biden should have left former president Donald TrumpDonald TrumpJD Vance says he regrets past criticism of Trump Five big questions about the Jan. 6 select committee First Republican announces run for Massachusetts governor MOREs immigration executive orders in place.

Eighty percent consider illegal immigration to be a serious problem, and 43 percent responded that it is a very serious one.

Sixty seven percent think that illegal crossers should be turned back to Mexico.

A majority (61 percent) believe that the flood of tens of thousands of unaccompanied alien children is Bidens fault.

The Border Patrolapprehendsthousands of unaccompanied children every month at the border with Mexico: 5,688 in January; 9,269 in February; 18,724 in March; 16,910 in April; and 13,906 in May.

And according to the DHS Fiscal 2020 Enforcement Lifecycle Report, only4.3 percentof the 290,000 unaccompanied children who came here between fiscal 2014, and fiscal 2019, were returned to their own countries.

State governors know too

This has authorized them to request help in securing their borders from the other states pursuant to the Emergency Management Assistance Compact.

They told the other states that help is needed to respond to the surge in illegal migration and "the accompanying threats to private property and to the safety of our citizens. So far, four states have said they are going to send law enforcement officers.

State action is not a solution

Although the states may be able to arrest illegal crossers and charge them with state and local offenses, such as trespassing, they will not be able to return them to Mexico.

The presence of state and local police and national guardsmen in the vicinity of the border is likely to deter illegal crossings, but this will just divert the crossings to the California and New Mexico borders with Mexico.

This will be particularly hard on California. According to the DHS January 2021 estimates, California already has more undocumented aliens than any other state.

Biden knew his actions would cause a border crisis

The month before he was sworn in, Biden said he wasnt going to make good on his immigration campaign promises right away. If he ended Trumps remain in Mexico program and the rest of his border security measures too soon, it could result in 2 million immigrants appearing at our border.

He said it would probably take six months to prepare for implementing new border security measures.

But he made most of the changes the day he took the oath of office.

An illegal immigrant accused of abandoning her baby in a bathroom trash can at a California park was arrested Thursday and told law enforcement that the baby was conceived after she was raped in Guatemala, police said.

The 22-year-old woman, whose name has not been released for safety reasons, admitted to investigators that she gave birth to the child June 9, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. She abandoned the newborn two days later at a park in Lynwood, California, out of fear, she said.

A neighbor of the woman was asked to review the surveillance video of the suspect and identified the young mother.

"The sheriffs department has received many inquiries about adopting this baby, including from our own personnel," said Lt. John Adams of the LASD Special Victims Bureau. "Weve had detectives here at our unit, weve had fire personnel, weve had nurses that treated this baby at the hospital inquire about adoption. Needless to say, this baby is quite the celebrity at this point."

Los Angeles County has a Baby Safe Surrender program, which means that a mother can surrender her baby at any fire station or hospital in the county legally with no questions asked.

Her bail is set at $100,000 for suspicion of cruelty to a child likely to produce great bodily injury or death.
