Biden's open borders impact local law enforcment

 CNN:

Amid an unprecedented surge of migrants crossing into the United States, the sheriff of one Texas county bordering Mexico told CNN his officers are struggling to keep up with both the immigration issues and local matters.

“It’s a lot. On the law enforcement side, we’re suffering because we don’t have the manpower to take care of what we call the local business, criminal elements, and then the immigration problem,” Maverick County, Texas, Sheriff Tom Schmerber said in a Sunday interview. “So, it’s costing us a lot of manpower.”

Schmerber said he’s repeatedly had to reassign officers from local duties after receiving calls for assistance from US Customs and Border Protection. That aid includes escorting buses with migrants who have been apprehended and are being transported for immigration processing.

“So I’m having two units, two vehicles with my deputies, escorting those buses,” the sheriff said. “That’s minus two.”

“But we have to do it, and we do it for the security of the people and of course the agents and the drivers of the buses,” he added.

His remarks come as the surge in border crossings has stretched a number of already overwhelmed US agencies.

Border officials say the spike is being driven by pseudo-legitimate travel agencies and organized transportation networks that are advertising travel to the southern US border but ultimately are connecting migrants to smugglers. Those smugglers are facilitating the illegal crossings of up to 1,000 people at a time, a border official told CNN earlier this month.

This is mainly a result of Biden stopping Trump border policies that were working to slow illegal immigration.  Instead, Biden decided to facilitate illegal immigration which is apparently a part of a Democrat goal of importing new potential voters as they try to rebuild a majority since Americans are not voting for Dems in sufficient numbers for them to get a stranglehold on government.

 Texas delivers Biden a devastating loss

...


Senate Bill 4 empowers state and local law enforcement to arrest and detain suspected illegal immigrants, a power traditionally reserved for the federal government.

Texas argues that El Paso’s lawsuit, backed by the ACLU and immigration advocacy groups, constitutes an egregious disregard for this constitutional cornerstone.

The urgency of this legal battle cannot be overstated.

Since President Biden took office, over 7 million people have crossed the US-Mexico border illegally, overwhelming border patrol agents and straining resources in border communities.

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
