Carrizo Springs, Texas gets brunt of Biden's trafficking in illegals

 Washington Examiner:

 

Emergency management officials in a remote area near Texas's border with Mexico are rushing to figure out how the 5,000-person town of Carrizo Springs can handle backdoor releases of migrants into their community.

City and county officials in Carrizo Springs and Dimmit County are bracing for the possibility of a crisis in the coming days as the Border Patrol resorts to discharging people in its custody onto the street because the shelter that normally accommodates migrants is at capacity.

"It is a very concerning situation," said Christine Guerrero, chief clerk of the court in Dimmit County, which includes Carrizo Springs. "Border Patrol says these migrants that are coming — they’re not looking to stay here. They’re looking to going farther up."

The problem for Guerrero is that her small county of 10,000 residents has no train, plane, or bus to get migrants out of town and on to their final destinations.

BIDEN GRANTS ASYLUM OFFICERS THE ABILITY TO DECIDE MIGRANT CLAIMS

Over the past week, Border Patrol officials stationed in Eagle Pass and Del Rio have seen an influx of migrants illegally coming across the Rio Grande from Acuna, Coahuila, in Mexico. Migrants who surrender to the Border Patrol on the U.S. side or are otherwise chased down and taken into custody are processed at one of eight stations within 100 miles of the border.

Since March 18, agents in the area have apprehended four groups of 100 people each after they crossed the border, as well as smaller groups. Because Border Patrol stations on the border in Del Rio and Eagle Pass are overwhelmed, migrants in Eagle Pass are sometimes transported to a station that is more than 40 miles away in Carrizo Springs or a station 60 miles away in Uvalde. Migrants are processed and then transported back to Eagle Pass before being released to the nonprofit organization Mission Border Hope.

Due to the increase in illegal immigration, Mission Border Hope is out of room to take in more people, prompting the Border Patrol to plan to release detainees directly from their stations into Carrizo Springs and Uvalde.

...

The city and county should be suing Joe Biden for damages.  The area does not have public access to planes or buses to move the illegals further inland.  They are stuck on the streets.  It is just another example of the incompetence of Joe Biden's immigration policies and the harm it is causing to Texas cities.  No wonder Democrats are losing the votes of border Hispanics.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t

Bin Laden's concern about Zarqawi's remains

James Robbins: ... Bin Laden suggests that President Bush should allow Zarqawi’s body to be returned to his family in Jordan, but this is a matter that is up to the Jordanian government, which so far has not shown much interest in facilitating a homecoming. Bin Laden mocks King Abdullah II, calling him a Coalition minion, and asking “w hat scares you about Abu Musab after he’s dead? You know that his funeral, if allowed to happen, would be a huge funeral showing the extent of sympathy with the mujahedin.” A large crowd would definitely turn out, though most people would be on hand to demonstrate their anger and disgust. Last November’s hotel bombings in Amman , masterminded by Zarqawi, are still fresh in people’s memory, and mentioning them to Jordanians has the same visceral impact as memory of the 9/11 attacks does here. Jordan has adopted a zero-tolerance policy towards those who choose to mourn the country’s least favorite son, and four opposition members of parliament who paid con
