Customs and Border Protection in the El Paso sector is calling for help. They’re being overwhelmed by the sheer mass of migrants crossing the border and claiming asylum. As one border patrol agent noted, they’re seeing a 500% increase in apprehensions compared to this time last year.
“It’s staggering,” McAllen City Manager Roy Rodriguez said. “Really, we’ve never seen anything like this before.”
It's time to close the border. https://t.co/8xJT8BdgBz

Opinion
It seems the majority of the fight for border security is about the wall. While the wall will help, it’s neither fast nor comprehensive enough to address the problem that is present in the here and now. We need facilities to house the massive increase of illegal immigrants coming over and claiming asylum. Then, we need more people to handle the situation and protect the border. Right now, CBP is undermanned and lacking in the necessary resources to keep us safe.
It’s not just about American citizens. As long as we’re allowing these people to come across our borders, we have a responsibility to make sure they’re safe as well. This may be an unpopular opinion, but it’s the reality of how America is supposed to act. It behooves us to keep them safe and secure in order to keep ourselves safe and secure. By releasing them into the interior where many of them have nothing with which to work, the likelihood they’ll turn to crime is dramatically increased.
Legislative changes must be made at a massive scale as well. We cannot continue the broken policies that were designed for a time when asylum requests were manageable with current resources. Instead of limiting beds and shelter, we need to increase it dramatically. Instead of giving them freedom and a request to appear for their hearing, we need to be able to hold them, expedite the hearing, and repatriate them with their home nation if they are not granted asylum.
This surge is only going to get worse. With the “mother of all caravans” forming now in Honduras, we can’t wait around for the wall to get built. While it’s being debated, actions must be taken immediately to address this issue. I’d say we need to do it before it becomes unmanageable, but it appears we’re already there.

“The surge numbers are just overwhelming the entire system.”
Final Thoughts
We need the wall, but it won’t come fast enough. Immediate action is needed. Fix the laws. Give more resources, manpower, and facilities to the border patrol. Start sending the message to Central America that there’s no free ride waiting for them here.
Will you help revive the American Conservative Movement?
Will America-First News Outlets Make it to 2023?
Things are looking grim for conservative and populist news sites.
There’s something happening behind the scenes at several popular conservative news outlets. 2021 was bad, but 2022 is proving to be disastrous for news sites that aren’t “playing ball” with the corporate media narrative. It’s being said that advertisers are cracking down, forcing some of the biggest ad networks like Google and Yahoo to pull their inventory from conservative outlets. This has had two major effects. First, it has cooled most conservative outlets from discussing “taboo” topics like Pandemic Panic Theater, voter fraud, or The Great Reset. Second, it has isolated those ad networks that aren’t playing ball.
Certain topics are anathema for most ad networks. Speaking out against vaccines or vaccine mandates is a certain path to being demonetized. Highlighting voter fraud in the 2020 and future elections is another instant advertising death penalty. Throw in truthful stories about climate change hysteria, Critical Race Theory, and the border crisis and it’s easy to understand how difficult it is for America-First news outlets to spread the facts, share conservative opinions, and still pay the bills.
Without naming names, I have been told of several news outlets who have been forced to either consolidate with larger organizations or who have backed down on covering certain topics out of fear of being “canceled” by the ad networks. I get it. This is a business for many of us and it’s not very profitable. Those of us who do this for a living are often barely squeaking by, so loss of additional revenue can often mean being forced to make cuts. That means not being able to cover the topics properly. Its a Catch-22: Tell the truth and lose the money necessary to keep telling the truth, or avoid the truth and make enough money to survive. Those who have chosen survival simply aren’t able to spread the truth properly.
We will never avoid the truth. The Lord will provide if it is His will. Our job is simply to share the facts, spread the Gospel, and educate as many Americans as possible while exposing the forces of evil.
To those who have the means, we ask that you please donate. We have options available now, but there is no telling when those options will cancel us. We just launched a new GiveSendGo page. We also have our GivingFuel page. There have been many who have been canceled by PayPal, but for now it’s still an option. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!

It is time for our Homeland Security to adopt a policy to release illegals into those cities/states that advocate for “Sanctuary” and nowhere else.
When the citizens of communities that have so far been immune to the scourge of too many people with no right to be here but a laundry list of demands for services, which must be paid for out of local taxpayer provided funds, perhaps more of them will actually grasp the magnitude of the problem and ~force~ their politicians to act.
This may be my favorite idea ever. Seriously.
