Gov. Cox claims Denver has been sending ‘illegal immigrants’ to Utah without approval – ABC4.com

SALT LAKE CITY (ABC4) Gov. Spencer Cox claimed Friday that the mayor of Denver is sending immigrants to Utah without proper approval, calling the alleged actions unacceptable on Twitter/X.

We recently learned that the Democrat mayor of Denver has been sending illegal immigrants to Utah without proper notification or approval. This is completely unacceptable and follows on the failed catch-and-release policy of the Biden administration, his post said in part.

The Salt Lake City Police Department told ABC4 that 15 people arrived in Salt Lake City last month from Colorado, all of whom had gone through federal processing. Police say social workers transported them to Ogden because the shelters in Salt Lake County were full.

Jon Ewing, a representative of the Denver Department of Human Services, confirmed that they had helped people travel to Salt Lake City over the past 30 days, however, he said they have been incredibly transparent with all of our newcomer operations.

They say over the past year and a half they have helped approximately 2,000 people travel to Salt Lake City, with 59 of those people having departed in the last 30 days.

The vast majority of newcomers arriving in Denver do so on buses chartered from Texas and had no intention of ever coming to Denver. Thats why part of our operations include purchasing tickets for newcomers to get to their desired location, where they may have support networks or job opportunities, Ewing said.

Ewing added the destination is always chosen by the newcomer, and many choose to go to other locations like New York and Chicago.

To date Denver has served more than 42,000 people from the southern border, assistance which has included helping to house thousands of people and assisting more than 2,000 individuals with securing legal work, he said.

Cox said every state has received immigrants and Utahs resources are completely depleted.

All 50 states, including Utah, are now border states due to the failed immigration policies of President Biden and Congress, Cox said. Once again we call on the Biden administration and Congress to solve this crisis.

Listen to "Reflecting on 100 Years of the Border Patrol" on Spreaker.

Two former chiefs of the U.S. Border Patrol join Parsing Immigration Policy this week on the occasion of the agencys 100th anniversary. Rodney Scott and Mark Morgan join host Mark Krikorian discuss how, despite a century of government policies that have often made it harder to secure the border, the Border Patrol has always remained committed to protecting Americas national security. Morgan emphasizes that bad politics, the lack of political courage, strength, and will decade after decade has made the Border Patrols job more difficultbut yet somehow they still are able to succeed.

The Biden administration has leveraged Americans compassion for migrants to promote policies that hinder the Border Patrols ability to do its job. One such policy is the elimination of rapid DNA testing, which helps agents in identifying human traffickers. The mass influx of illegal immigrants that started in 2021 has overwhelmed the Border Patrol, preventing them from engaging in preventive measures like rigorously interviewing suspicious migrants. This situation has led to the departure of many experienced agents and has hindered the training of new agents to address potential national security threats at the border. Morgan and Scott emphasize that illegal immigration is not a victimless crime, underscoring that Border Patrol agents are not motivated by racism or any other nefarious motives; rather, they are safeguarding American national security and the integrity of the legal immigration system.

Going forward, Morgan and Scott stress the importance of improving transparency at the border to pressure politicians to provide resources and policies that will improve border security.

In his closing commentary, Mark Krikorian, the Centers Executive Director and podcast host, discusses the eight Tajikistani nationals all of whom crossed the Southern border and were then released who were recently arrested on terrorism charges. The vetting process failed to detect these Tajiks terrorist ties, and once these ties were discovered, the fact that these foreign nationals were not detained allowed them to disappear into the country. Border security is ultimately a matter of national security, and cases like this showcase the limitations of vetting and the importance of detention.

A call for action on the border crisis – The Western News

I write to encourage a call to action. We must immediately address the illegal immigration happening in Montana.

I, as well as many Montanans have seen the numbers fentanyl confiscation in Montana up by 20,000%, sex trafficking up by 116%, illegal immigration at our northern border up 597% with over 10,000 illegal immigrants crossing per month.

These inexpiable numbers indicate two things: The failure of the Biden Administration to protect America from the influx of crime caused by the illegal immigration crisis on our border and the need for the Montana State Legislature to act where the federal government fell short.

Rep. Ruben Gallego, D-Arizona was quoted by the American Press regarding securing his states borders as saying, every minute we wait means more fentanyl deaths, more strain on our first responders and the looming possibility of street releases something that no small community wants.

But what are we as Montanans doing with the information that has already been well circulated regarding our state? Are we still pretending what is happening at the southern border cant affect a state as far away as Montana?

Look at accounts like the Bozeman resident who was stabbed to death by an illegal immigrant or the apprehension of three illegal immigrants stalking Bozeman locals in a sex trafficking scheme.

Denying the facts can only mean one is suffering from motivated skepticism or an ideological fallacy.

This is not the case for Rep. Colin Allred, D-Texas who was also quoted saying, Our border communities are not just political backdrops, not just places you go to point out problems. Theyre places where real people live, where theyre trying to raise their families.

This is why I am calling on you to urge your state legislators to vote for a special session where we can gather for a week and address these issues as many other states have already done. It is our job to protect the Montana population by halting those inexcusable statistics. It is likely that the U.S. Supreme Court will soon be asked to consider the constitutionality of Senate Bill 4 enacted by Texas, which is what our bill in the special session is based upon.

"It will be important that other states impacted by the Biden Administrations unwillingness to enforce federal immigration laws have enacted their own laws to signal to the Court that we must have the ability to defend our interests if the Biden Administration will not. The impacts extend far beyond southern border states.

Representatives Bill Mercer HD 46, Brandon Ler HD 35, Sherry Essmann HD 52, Jodee Etchart HD 48, Mike Yakawich HD 51, Nelly Nicol HD 53, Larry Brewster HD 44, Greg Oblander HD 40 and Senator Kenneth Bogner SD 19.

Tillis, Colleagues Demand Answers on Biden Administration’s Mass Amnesty for Illegal Immigrants – Thom Tillis

WASHINGTON, D.C.Senator Thom Tillis and his colleagues recently sent a letter to U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and Attorney General Merrick Garland questioning the Administrations dismissal of asylum cases and highlighting the erosive effect of these policies on the U.S. legal immigration system.

We write to you today regarding recent reports of the Biden administration's purported mass amnesty for illegal aliens. According to a recent article published by the New York Post on June 2, 2024, the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) detailed the dismissal of over 350,000 removal cases since 2022 under the guise of prosecutorial discretion,the senators wrote.

President Bidens recent executive order uses 212(f) and 215(a) of theImmigration and Nationality Actto purportedly shut down the southern border if illegal crossings surge to a daily average of 2,500 over 7 days. This action is too little, too late, and its numerous exceptions make clear that the Administration is more interested in creating the appearance of an orderly border than stopping illegal crossings. It is also an implicit admission of the administrations failure to manage the border crisis effectively from the outset,the senators continued.

This Administrations approach has consistently downplayed the severity of the border crisis, initially denying its existence, then reluctantly acknowledging it, and now attempting to address it through inadequate measures. The repeated failures in border management under your leadership have led to an unprecedented backlog of 3.5 million asylum cases, posing a substantial burden on our immigration system and increasing the risk of criminal activities by illegal aliens,the senators concluded.

Text of the full letter is availableHERE.
