550,000. That is the estimated number of illegal aliens who will receive amnesty under President Bidens latest executive action, which will make many of the migrants eligible for green cards, work permits and a pathway to U.S. citizenship.

According to President Biden, this decision is common sense. But to millions of Tennesseans and Americans, it is just the latest example of how the President is working to undermine the rule of law, devalue U.S. citizenship, and make illegal immigration legal.

In just his first 100 days in office, President Biden issued 94 executive orders to open our border, including halting construction of the southern border wall, ending the successful Trump-era Remain in Mexico policy, and pausing deportations. Since then, more than 10 million illegal aliens have entered our country larger than the population of 38 states.

Despite the many harms of their open border agenda, President Biden and Democrats have championed it for a simple reason: to gain more seats in Congress. Thanks to a day-one executive order by President Biden, illegal aliens count toward the census population, which determines each states share of congressional seats. By taking in as many illegal aliens as possible, Democrat states can help offset the loss of hundreds of thousands of Americans who are fleeing blue jurisdictions for red states.

By granting amnesty to hundreds of thousands of illegals, the Biden administration is building on this effort, setting the stage for illegal immigrants to potentially vote in future U.S. elections.

Recently, I wrote a letter to President Biden pointing out that his amnesty proposal is blatantly unconstitutional by side-stepping congressional authority to alter the legal status of hundreds of thousands of illegals. To be sure, I expect federal courts will deem President Bidens action unlawful, much like President Obamas 2012 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals memorandum, which also extended deportation protections to illegal immigrants.

Still, while President Biden pushes ahead with his unconstitutional amnesty plan and open border agenda, the American people will be left to deal with the consequencesincluding a record surge in migrant crime.

Since October alone, U.S. authorities have apprehended 13,130 illegal aliens with prior criminal convictions including homicide, burglary, assault, drug trafficking, and sexual offenses up from 2,438 in fiscal year 2020, the last full year of the Trump administration. In 2023, that number was 15,267 a more than five-fold increase from 2020.

Just last month, an illegal alien from Ecuador, who crossed the southern border in 2021, was arrested for raping a 13-year-old girl while wielding a machete in a park in Queens, N.Y.

Also, Houston police arrested two Venezuelan illegal aliens for kidnapping and strangling a 12-year-old girl before leaving her body in a bayou. The suspects allegedly committed the heinous crime just weeks after the Biden administration released them into our country after they illegally crossed the southern border.

Last month, law enforcement arrested a Salvadoran illegal alien for raping and murdering a 37-year-old mother of five in Maryland. The suspect, who is also accused of murdering a woman in El Salvador and assaulting a 9-year-old girl and her mother in Los Angeles, crossed the southern border four times last year.

These horrific crimes would have never happened if President Biden secured our southern border. Instead, the president is more concerned about protecting illegal aliens than American citizens with tragic consequences.

With amnesty order, Biden is making illegal immigration legal - The Highland County Press

Shocking new video footage shows migrants who were staying at a Chicago shelter robbing and beating up a straphanger back in February.

The group of four migrant men from Venezuela can be seen choking a 49-year-old man during a broad daylight strong-arm robbery on Chicagos L train, video surveillance obtained by Fox News shows.

The attack happened just before evening rush hour on February 17.

The migrants put a knife to the victims neck, court documents say, and went through his pockets, taking $400 and a cell phone before leaving him unconscious.

Before the attack, the men appeared to be drinking and smoking on the train. They approached the victim and chatted him up before attacking him. The man reportedly recovered.

The suspects, Fernando Loyo-Rodriguez, Wilker Gutierrez Sierra, Carlos Carreno-Carreno, and Yonnier Guasamucare Garcia, are between ages 18 to 22. The four men were arrested about 45 minutes after the attack and gave government-funded migrant shelters as their addresses.

Three of the migrants remained in custody, while Gutierrez Sierra was allowed to go free with electronic monitoring.

They each face charges of attempted murder, aggravated battery/strangulation, and robbery.

Three of the migrant suspects had been previously arrested for shoplifting about a month before the train attack. They had only been in the U.S. for a few months before the robbery. One of the migrants had only been in the country for one month.

The next hearing in the case is scheduled for August 28.

Chicago is currently paying to shelter about 13,000 of the more than 44,000 migrants who have arrived in the city over the last two years. The crisis has strained the citys finances and caused city leaders to scramble for space to shelter the new arrivals.

Other cities have suffered similar crises over the last two years. New York City has seen an influx of more than 180,000 illegal migrants over the past two years, creating a financial and shelter space crisis that has caused officials to plead for federal help.

Under the Biden administration, there have been more than 9.5 million migrant encounters across the country, as well as about 1.7 million illegal migrant gotaways, according to immigration authorities.

Earlier this year, immigration surged to become the top issue on voters minds, bumping inflation down to second place, polls showed.

President Biden has reversed many of former President Donald Trumps border policies aimed at slowing the flow of illegal immigration at the U.S.-Mexico border, including the Remain in Mexico policy, which forced illegal migrants to stay on the Mexican side of the border while they awaited their asylum hearing.

Over 13,000 "criminal noncitizens" have attempted to enter the U.S. and been apprehended by Border Patrol agents in fiscal year 2024, an increase from 4,269 in FY 2019.

Crimes allegedly committed by illegal migrants are on the rise.

The cases include the arrest of Victor Antonio Martinez Hernandez, a 23-year-old illegal El Salvadorian migrant accused of raping and killing Maryland mother Rachel Morin.

Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) enforcement agents cited six individuals for alleged fishing violations in Plaquemines Parish on June 25. Agents cited Encarnacion Lopez, 33, of Chalmette, and Juan Lopez, 39, Oscar Ofion, 30, Armando Aguilar, 45, Yony Martinez, 27, and Mario Castro, 46, five of which are illegal immigrants, for possessing over the limit of Red Snapper and possessing undersized Red Snapper.

Aguilar, Ofion, Castro, Juan Lopez and Martinez were also cited for not possessing an offshore landing permit. Ofion, Martinez and Castro were also cited for saltwater fishing without possessing a non-resident saltwater fishing license. Martinez and Castro were also cited for fishing without possessing a non-resident basic fishing license. The captain of the vessel, Juan Lopez, was also cited for not possessing a fire extinguisher, failing to comply with personal flotation device (PFD) requirements and improper boat numbers.

Agents were on patrol in the Mississippi River in Plaquemines Parish when they observed a 20-foot bay boat occupied by six occupants heading north in the river. Agents stopped the vessel to perform a boating safety and creel inspection.

During the inspection, agents found the men in possession of 120 Red Snappers or which 97 were undersized. The recreational Red Snapper season began on April 15 in both state and federal waters with a daily bag limit of four fish per person and a 16-inch total length minimum size limit.

This case highlights the many issues we face by the failure of the Biden Administration to secure our border and illustrates how our states resources are weighed down by the consequences of a broken immigration policy. Protecting and managing our wildlife is crucial to keeping Louisiana the Sportsmans paradise, said Governor Jeff Landry. Thank you to Secretary Sheahan and these LDWF enforcement agents for protecting Louisianas fisheries and ensuring law and order is enforced.

I am proud of Corporal Landry, Agent Wiles, and Agent Smith for their hard work on this case, said LDWF Secretary Madison Sheahan. It is a priority for our department to enforce regulations intended to conserve and protect our fisheries for the sportsmen of Louisiana. We would like to thank Governor Landry for his continued efforts in addressing the abysmal failure of the Biden Administrations border policies."

Possessing over the limit of Red Snapper and undersized Red Snapper brings up to a $350 fine for each offense. Fishing without possessing non-resident basic fishing and saltwater fishing licenses also brings up to a $350 fine for each offense. Failing to possess a recreational offshore landing permit, improper boat numbers, failing to possess a fire extinguisher, failing to comply with PFD requirements carries up to a $50 fine for each offense.

The subjects also face civil restitution totaling $3,098 for the Red Snapper.

Agents seized all of the fish and donated them to the Second Harvest Food Bank on behalf of the Hunters for the Hungry Louisiana.

This investigation is still ongoing and more charges may be pending.

Agents involved in the case are Corporal Austin Landry, Agent Austin Wiles and Agent Brett Smith.

Wildlife and Fisheries Agents Find Illegal Immigrants Caught Violating Louisiana Fishing Laws - Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries

It is no longer required for undocumented applicants to submit social security numbers. They can instead use their Taxpayer Identification numbers.

SEATTLE A new law went into effect Monday, July 1 that allows undocumented immigrants to apply for professional licenses.

It's thanks partially to the hard work of the Communities for Our Colleges coalition - a non-profit that advocated for the bill.

Four women from the coalition have spent the last year testifying and sharing their stories. On July 1, as the new law went into effect, they felt a layer of certainty for their futures.

"I wasn't sure if I should go along with dental hygienist, because I wasn't sure at the end of the tunnel if I was going to be able to even do the career," Maria Barrios said.

Prior to the passing of House Bill 1889, career paths including real estate agents, home inspectors, to athletic trainers and music therapists were closed off to undocumented immigrants without social security numbers. Jobs like private investigators and notary publics were also reserved only for United States citizens and lawful residents.

Now with HB 1889 becoming law, students like Barrios can continue pursuing her future.

"It has given me the ability to push myself to be able to become a dental hygienist in the end, and tell other people who are undocumented students to not give up on their dreams and continue because things do change," Barrios said.

Leslie Jimenez chimed in on why undocumented folks should be given the opportunity to apply for professional licenses.

"Mostly because we're individuals that contribute to the country and specifically Washington's economy," she said.

Adding more people to Washington's workforce was a big inspiration for Democratic representative Amy Walen to chief sponsor the bill. She represents Kirkland, Bellevue, Redmond and surrounding areas.

"It was an important bill for my district because we're very diverse, the 48th Legislative District has a lot of immigrants working in the tech community, but many of their family members are very qualified to do all kinds of things in their home countries," Walen said. "And to have them be able to participate in the economy is exciting to me."

The law also makes it illegal for state licensing agencies to disclose social security or tax payer identity numbers, further protecting those without immigration status.

"There's always been that fear of like-- what happens if the worst [happens]," Dafne Pinon said. "But it's definitely been a fear I've always had and still have to this day, but obviously like, putting that aside, I know I still need to fight for my dreams and make the sacrifices that my parents did, worth it."

The law does not provide any pathway to citizenship. Instead of using social security numbers, undocumented workers can apply using their Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, acquired through the IRS.
