The second-largest source of income for Mexican drug cartels is human trafficking into the U.S. Laws discouraging illegal immigration challenge that income. The cartels have so much sway over the Mexican government that even the countryβs president is speaking out against Texas laws countering illegal immigration.
Earlier this week, a confrontation broke out between Texas Army National Guard troops and a group of migrants who charged a border wall in El Paso. Texas Governor Abbott has called the immigration crisis an invasion.
Attempting to stem the flow of illegals, he came under fire, allegedly for passing a law making illegal entry from Mexico into the U.S. a crime. The irony of this statement is that it is already βillegalβ to enter the U.S. illegally.
To be more accurate, Abbott has not made illegal entry into the United States a crime; he has instructed his police officers to enforce existing laws, arrest lawbreakers, and restore legality by deporting the illegals.
Under Title 8 federal authority, it is illegal to enter the US at non-ports of entry, and the punishment is deportation and a five-year ban on future immigration.
Social media accounts in Mexico provide instructions on how to enter the US illegally, including encouraging people to enter at illegal points of entry. Human traffickers, transitional criminal organizations, however, are selling illegal access to the US.
The criminals, generally linked to drug cartels, accept money from the migrants, promising safe passage, but they are being led to illegal entry ports. The money that cartels are earning from illegal human trafficking to the US is used to buy more guns, politicians, and judges, further destabilizing Mexico.
Title 8 states, βThe Secretary of Homeland Security shall take such actions as may be necessary to install additional physical barriers and roads (including the removal of obstacles to detection of illegal entrants) in the vicinity of the United States border to deter illegal crossings in areas of high illegal entry into the United States.β
This is one of the many points of contention between Governor Abbott and the federal government. The governor, along with many American Conservatives, is questioning why the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is not doing more to prevent illegal immigration and why the Federal government would challenge the Texas governorβs assertion that he has the authority to protect the border of his state to keep his citizens safe.
Additionally, Title 8 mandates the erection of physical barriers to prevent illegal entrance to the US. However, when Governor Abbott implemented barriers, he faced vilification from the media, and the federal government ordered him to remove them.
Governor Abbottβs efforts to enforce immigration law have been challenged at both the state and federal levels. Twenty-five GOP state governors have signed the βStand with Texasβ declaration, expressing support for Governor Abbott and defending the border.
Despite being effectively barred from preventing illegal immigrants from entering his state, Abbott implemented Operation Lone Star Bus, transporting immigrants to sanctuary cities that claim to welcome them.
However, cities like Chicago and others, receiving immigrants from Texas, began taking measures to limit the number of illegals they would accept.
Some of the bus companies transporting immigrants actually sued Chicago. The federal court filing of Wynne Transportation reads, βRather than welcoming migrants and giving them sanctuary, Chicago is turning its back on those wishing to travel here.β
For Abbott and most conservatives, the fact that even sanctuary cities have finally had enough of illegal immigration should serve as proof that the border needs to be secured. Yet, the border chaos persists at crisis levels.
Told that he cannot prevent individuals from entering illegally and that he cannot transport them across the United States, Governor Abbott decided to address the problem from another angle by arresting those who enter the state illegally, which is consistent with US federal immigration law. And once again, he is facing challenges from immigration rights organizations, mainstream media, and Democrats at the federal level.
Critics argue that the law βcreates a climate of fear in Texas where anyone potentially suspected of being an undocumented migrant can be subject to questioning by local police.β
They are concerned that enforcement of the law makes criminals nervous. However, if individuals are worried about being questioned by police when suspected of breaking this law, it is no different from any other law.
If suspected of theft or driving without a license, individuals can be questioned by police. If innocent, they can provide proof, and the matter is resolved.
Mexican President AndrΓ©s Manuel LΓ³pez Obrador criticized the Texas law as βdraconian,β βdehumanizing,β and βanti-Christian.β His opposition to the law of the state of Texas, citing its alleged infringement on federal authority, is preposterous given Mexicoβs steady descent into becoming a narco-state, where drug cartels control its legislature, judiciary, police, and military.
Obradorβs rebuttal to the Texas law was a nonsensical false equivalent, βItβs as if the governor of Tamaulipas applied a law against Texans who were visiting Mexico or passing through Tamaulipas.β
President Obradorβs point is preposterous. Texas is not making laws about Mexicans legally passing through Texas. The law is about Mexicans, or people from other nations, illegally entering Texas.
Ironically, under Mexican law, it is also illegal for Americans to enter Mexico illegally. It is unclear why Mexicoβs president believes the US should not similarly protect its border.

In France, at least two teachers have been murdered by Muslim students, one of them beheaded. The French press reports that βdeath threats and threats of rape have become common among pupils.β Those threats are directed toward both teachers and fellow students.
Now, students at dozens of French schools have been sent βthreatening messages and beheading videosβ by Islamic radicals. The story is hard to parse out, and more is, perhaps, being concealed than revealed:
At least 30 schools in the Paris region have this week received threatening messages accompanied by βshockingβ footage of beheadings, the education ministry said on Thursday.
That effort is being made in support of Islamic terrorism:
The establishments β mainly secondary schools β have received βserious threatsβ containing βjustification of and incitement to terrorism,β a representative of the education ministry told AFP.
The Muslims apparently made use of software that France uses to connect students and teachers. Reportedly, they ββhacked a studentβs email addressβ in order to distribute the message and a beheading video.β They also have been making bomb threats:
In the department of Seine-et-Marne, to the east of the French capital, a secondary school received a message saying that explosives had been hidden throughout the establishment βin the name of Allahβ, a police source said.
The latest threats follow a flurry of false bomb alerts targeted schools, airport and tourist sites in autumn 2023.
All of this is due to Franceβs feckless immigration policies. But, to be fair, their policies are a lot better than Joe Bidenβs.
UPDATE: Of course, it could be worse. You could be in Russia.

Here we have the video of the day. It depicts a horde of illegal aliens breaking through the razor wire (mounted, I assume, by Texas authorities) and overrunning Texas National Guard soldiers seeking to resist them in El Paso.

We have now entered year four President Bidenβs open borders program. Why does Biden refuse to see that the law is faithfully executed? Why does he support the invasion of the United States? When do we get to defend ourselves? How long can this go on?

As an historian, I found it fascinating to watch the Left try to impose new language to describe people in the country illegally.
The Left has gradually pushed accepted language away from βillegal aliensβ (the term in law), to βillegal immigrantsβ (the most common term), to βundocumented immigrantsβ (the Leftβs current favorite term), and now to βnewcomersβ (the Joe Biden White Houseβs latest experiment in gaining language dominance).
It all reminds me of Vladimir Leninβs great language coup of 1903.
The Russian Social-Democratic Labour Party met secretly in Brussels. (The czarβs secret police made it impossible to meet openly in Russia.) At the meeting there was a split between Leninβs hard-line revolutionary faction and a more moderate democratic wing.
Leninβs faction was the smaller group, but it claimed the title Bolshevik (which means βgreater factionβ or majority). Group with the most votes were foolish enough to accept the title Lenin gave them, which was Menshevik, meaning minority. That language dominance and branding gave Lenin an enormous advantage in the following two-decade struggle to overthrow the czar and create Soviet Russia.
At least as far back as the French Revolution, the Left has had a passion for labeling things and ideas to gain language dominance. This process as applied to illegal immigration began at least 25 years ago for me.
Thatβs when I first remember being lectured that using the term βillegal immigrantsβ was wrong, and I should learn to say βundocumented.β
I thought this was nuts then, and I still do now. By definition, the people we were describing are illegal. Their first act on entering the United States is to break the law. Their decision to do so is an insult to every legal immigrant who patiently followed the rules and entered the United States legally.
In late February, the Biden White House had a handout, which said, βThe bill also includes $1.4 billion for cities and states who are providing critical services to newcomers.β The reaction to replacing βillegal immigrantβ with βnewcomerβ was so harsh that the Biden team dropped it. But its goal was clear.
This process of normalizing weird and radical ideas goes on constantly on the Left. Think of pushing transgenderism on children, kneeling during the Pledge of Allegiance, ignoring the destruction caused by the Black Lives Matter riots, etc.
The problem for the Left is that illegal immigration may be the battlefield on which they canβt win.
The latest absurdity began when Biden responded to jeers from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., during his State of the Union address. He said,Β βLincoln (sic) Riley, an innocent young woman who was killed by an illegal. Thatβs right. But how many of thousands of people are being killed by legals?β
Note that even in acknowledging a young woman who was killed by an illegal immigrant, Biden had to immediately cover it with thousands being killed by legal immigrants and citizens. The illegal immigrant could not be the focus.
Of course, he got Rileyβs first name wrong, but the Left immediately attacked him for using the term βillegal.β That included former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. Biden promptly began trying to backtrack. In an interview with MSNBCβs Jonathan Capehart on the following Saturday, Biden acknowledged his sin of language, βI shouldnβt have used βillegal.β itβs βundocumented.ββ
But Biden couldnβt stop there. He had to be pro-illegal immigrant.Β βIβm not going to treat any, any, any of these people with disrespect. Look, they built the country. The reason our economy is growing,β he said.
Bidenβs defense of illegal immigration hurt him with the average Americanβand his use of βillegalβ hurt him with his left-wing allies.
His confusion made him look weak. So, in another act of language dominance, the White House simply decided he really never apologized for saying βillegalβ in the first place.
As The Hill reported:
White House deputy spokesperson Olivia Dalton attempted to clarify on Monday, telling a reporter that βthe president absolutely did not apologizeβ despite his expression of regret.
βThere was no apology anywhere in that conversation,β Dalton told reporters on Air Force One. βHe did not apologize. He used a different word. I think what we should be really clear about is the facts.β
Biden (and his press team) may be confused, but the American people are not. As Scott Rasmussen reported:
Our recent polling found that 55% of voters believe βillegal immigrantβ is the proper term and another 8% prefer βillegal alien.β While 63% favor use of βillegal,β just 24% prefer βundocumented migrant.β
Among traditional Democrats, 54% prefer βillegalβ and 33% βundocumented.β But [Bernie] Sanders Democrats prefer βundocumentedβ by a 48% to 30% margin. It is the progressive Democrats who forced Biden to apologize. This just moves him even further from the mainstream.
Letβs be clear: Laken Riley was reportedly killed by an illegal immigrant. That illegal immigrant was in Athens, Ga., because of Bidenβs insane policies, which favor an open border and prioritize illegal immigrants over American citizens.
No word games can overcome those facts.
