States Struggling to Battle Biden Border Invasion
The goal of the Biden administration is to bring in millions of illegal aliens and settle them on U.S. soil. It’s been working and thus, from the perspective of the administration, it’s a successful policy.
The states, of course, have to deal with the problems caused by this agenda. And they are, with distinctly different approaches and varying levels of success.
Let’s look at a few states and how they are doing:
TEXAS
The U.S.-Mexico border is 1,954 miles long. Of that total, the Texas portion is 1,254 miles. That’s a lot of ground to cover.
For several years, Texas Governor Greg Abbott has been taking action to secure his state’s border.
It hasn’t been as successful as we would like, but Texas has a presence on the border and a legal argument to be there.
Recent reports (see here and here) indicate that the Texas National Guard is having some success in actually pushing illegal crossers back into Mexico. (This strategy was suggested in a prior article by yours truly.)
The great advantage of this tactic is you don’t have to worry about what to do with the detainees, just push them back into Mexico.
OKLAHOMA
The Oklahoma legislature recently passed a law establishing the crime of impermissible occupation, allowing for the removal of illegal aliens.
However, Oklahoma’s Governor Kevin Stitt (contact him here) is tolerant of illegal foreign labor and is confused about how the state’s government should work.
Stitt thinks that the Mexican diplomatic corps is the fourth branch of Oklahoma government and appointed the Mexican Consul to a task force set up to facilitate foreign labor.
But not to worry, Governor Stitt – the law was to take effect July 1, but on June 28, Federal Judge Bernard M. Jones put a hold on it. His Honor said that Oklahoma can’t undermine federal law.
With all due respect, Judge Jones has it backwards. It’s the federal government that’s undermining federal immigration law.
IOWA
In the state of Iowa, the “illegal reentry” law was signed in April but it has also been blocked in court.
MASSACHUSETTS
This is a bizarre one.
In June, Maura Healey, governor of the “sanctuary” state of Massachusetts, dispatched messengers to the border to warn illegal invaders that the Massachusetts system of shelters is full and can’t take any more illegals.
Why not just ask the federal government to control the border?
FLORIDA
Last year, the state of Florida passed a law designed to deal with the illegal alien influx into that state. It took effect July 1 (see here and here).
It includes mandatory E-Verify, a prohibition of granting IDs to illegal aliens, and other measures.
Another stipulation of the law is that hospitals administering Medicaid have to inquire about the immigration status of their patients.
Guess what? Not even a year later, this stipulation has reportedly decreased government spending.
“Florida’s Emergency Medical Assistance program for undocumented immigrants has seen a 54 percent drop in expenditures billed to Medicaid this year — with less than two months remaining in the fiscal year — since the state immigration law took effect,” Arek Sarkissian reported last month in Politico.
There’s a lesson there. Cracking down on illegal immigration reduces government spending in the long term.
There are naysayers.
Thomas Kennedy of the Florida Immigrant Coalition says that it can’t be proven the decrease is a result of the law.
However, he does admit that, “Obviously, there’s been somewhat of an exodus of migrants in Florida. When this was all going through — we had warned about the exacerbated work[force] shortages and the distressed industries — we said this would be a bad idea.”
Of course.
According to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, “We made sure when you have people show up at the hospital that we’re asking about immigration status, and that’s caused the Medicaid expenditures to plummet by 50%.”
CONCLUSION
It’s difficult, but states can make a difference.
Meanwhile, the presidential election is four months away…

Democratic Donors Urge Biden to Step Aside – WaPo
A group of 168 Democratic Party supporters, including major donors and academics, sent a letter to US President Joe Biden on Friday, urging him to drop his bid for reelection, the Washington Post has reported, citing anonymous sources.
Over the past week, several other media outlets have claimed that pressure on Biden is mounting from within the party, but the incumbent is digging in his heels.
Doubts over whether the 81-year-old is mentally and physically capable of leading the country for another four years have grown since his halting performance in a televised debate against Republican rival Donald Trump last week. Biden appeared frail and confused throughout the encounter – something he and his campaign have put down to a cold and travel-related fatigue.
In its article on Friday, the Post quoted the letter as “respectfully” calling on Biden to “withdraw from being a candidate for reelection for the sake of our democracy and the future of our nation.”
The plea cited “threats posed by a second term of Donald Trump” and advised Biden to “cement your legacy by passing the torch – just as George Washington did.”
According to the paper, the 168 signatories include Christy Walton, the billionaire daughter-in-law of Walmart’s founder, as well as billionaire investor Mike Novogratz and Harvard Law School professor Lawrence Lessig, among many other top-level business executives and academics.
Speaking to the New York Times on Wednesday, Netflix co-founder Reed Hastings argued that “Biden needs to step aside to allow a vigorous Democratic leader to beat Trump and keep us safe and prosperous.”
The article noted that while Hastings was one of the first major Democratic donors to publicly vent his frustration, many of his peers are privately expressing similar concerns.
On the same day, another major Democratic Party donor, Charles Myers, the chair of Signum Global Advisors, told Bloomberg Surveillance that Biden has “four to five days” to prove he is fit to continue the race for reelection.
The president has, however, brushed off all suggestions he should step aside.
“Let me say this as clearly as I possibly can, as simply and straightforward as I can: I am running… no one’s pushing me out. I’m not leaving,” the politician insisted during a call with campaign staffers on Wednesday.

Biden Was Barely Able to Speak Before Debate With Trump – Reports
US President Joe Biden could hardly speak two days before the unsuccessful debate with former US leader Donald Trump due to a strong cold and exhaustion, Politico has reported, citing sources familiar with the situation.
On Friday, Biden said in an interview with ABC News that he was sick and felt terrible during the debate.
On June 25, Biden woke up with a cold, held a brief rehearsal of the debate with his staff, and then rested all day, Politico reported on Friday, citing five sources.
His COVID-19 tests reportedly came back negative. The next day, aides tried to catch up with the debate, with preparations continuing into Thursday morning, the report read. Some aides believe the increased rehearsals further exhausted Biden, the sources told the news website.
Freudian slip or candid confession? Biden dazzles with wit at campaign event

Biden appeared confused and incoherent throughout his first debate with Republican frontrunner Trump last Thursday, reinforcing rather than refuting ongoing concerns about his cognitive abilities at age 81. His poor performance has led some Democratic politicians, donors, and other supporters to call for his removal as candidate.
The US presidential election is slated for November. The main contenders expected on the ballot are Biden and Trump, who have both won enough delegates’ votes to be their respective Democratic and Republican parties’ presumptive nominees. Trump and Biden are set to debate again on September 10.

Rivian’s Amazon Delivery Vans Keep Mysteriously Catching Fire
Amazon delivery vans, manufactured by Rivian, keep catching fire.
That was the topic of a new report from Quartz.com this week which highlighted that the blue Prime vans seen all over the country keep catching fire at Amazon distribution centers.
“One starts to wonder why,” QZ.com asked.
The report notes that footage from Third Coast Drone reveals Rivian vans ablaze outside an Amazon facility in Houston.
While the video doesn’t show how the fire started, it captures firefighters working to control the flames. Importantly, the footage also reveals that each van was parked at a charging station.
This isn’t the first time Rivian vans have caught fire at an Amazon location, the report notes.
Last August, a similar incident occurred in Salt Lake City, where vans burned in a distribution center parking lot. Posts in Amazon worker subreddits revealed that drivers have reported issues with the vans charging in high heat and suspected the chargers as the cause of the blaze.
Chargers have been blamed for fires before, either due to improper home wiring or inadequate cooling.
What’s still unclear is whether professionally-installed chargers, like these Rivian units, are prone to the same issues as Level 2 chargers plugged into home dryer outlets.
Heat-related issues with electric vehicles are likely to become more common as global temperatures rise.
The transition to EVs still remains worthwhile according to QZ—just, maybe consider charging in the shade until these issues are resolved.
Sure thing. We’ll be back to diesel powered delivery trucks in no time!

Netanyahu, Biden ‘Likely’ to Meet as Progressives Plan Boycott of Congressional Speech
The White House has announced that President Joe Biden will ‘likely’ meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu later this month, when he’ll be in Washington to address a joint session of Congress on July 24.
His invitation to address Congress by Republicans has already proven divisive, given a number of Democrats have declared they intend to boycott it. Likely dozens will not be in attendance, similar to what happened when the Israeli premier addressed Congress nearly a decade ago.
On Wednesday a White House official told The Times of Israel that “The president has known Prime Minister Netanyahu for three decades. They will likely see each other when the prime minister is here over the course of that week, but we have nothing to announce at this time.”
But tensions have been soaring, given just last month the White House canceled a meeting with an Israeli national security delegation after Netanyahu issued a video chastising the US for withholding some weapons shipments. The White House was left furious.
At the time, Biden press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre called into question the Israeli leader’s narrative. “We genuinely do not know what he’s talking about. We just don’t,“ she told reporters.
She had noted that “there was one particular shipment of munitions that was paused, and you’ve heard us talk about that many times.” Jean-Pierre then emphasized, “There are no other pauses — none — no other pauses or holds in place.”
Biden has over the last months on various occasions gone negative against the ‘far right’ Netanyahu government, despite Israel having long been a very close US ally, over human rights abuses and mass killings in Gaza.
The US administration has on the one hand continued to approve of major weapons and aid packages to Israel, but on the other has highlighted the soaring civilian death toll due to the IDF offensive. Progressive Democrats have made their anger known, with many vowing to not vote for Biden in November.
Newsweek has recently highlighted Congressional Democrat discontent with Biden’s Gaza policy in the following:
The AP reported that interviews with more than a dozen Democrats revealed the discontent over Netanyahu’s upcoming speech, and how some feel it is a Republican ploy to divide Democrats.
Some Democrats have said they will attend Netanyahu’s speech to show support for Israel, but others are clear that they won’t be attending.
Rep. Lloyd Doggett, a deputy whip for the Congressional Progressive Caucus, has stated that Netanyahu “needs to be staying in Israel and working for the peace that he has been unwilling to support in the past.”
The WH Press Secretary is using Benjamin Netanyahu as a reference for Biden’s cognitive coherence.

The “indiscriminate bombing that he has encouraged… has led to loss of lives that should never have happened. He has not prioritized the hostages; he ought to be doing that instead of coming here,” he told The Hill days ago.

The ensuing pursuit ended quickly as the driver and occupants suddenly bailed out and fled on foot.
Arriving USBP agents can be seen chasing the suspects, with one agent collaring a male illegal in a driveway.
As the agent attempted to restrain the man, he fought back, ultimately slipping out of his shirt and running away.
“USBP Agents arrived on the scene and assisted in apprehending 7 illegal immigrants from Mexico,” TxDPS spokesman Lt. Chris Olivarez explained in a statement.
“One of the illegal immigrants refused to cooperate and resisted arrest against one of the agents but was ultimately arrested.”
The driver was identified as Macedonio Rios, a Mexican national who has been living illegally in Roma, Texas.
Rios was charged with evading arrest and smuggling of persons.
Dangerous pursuits unfold constantly along the U.S.-Mexico border, as InfoWars frequently reports.
