Cuban illegal immigrants are surging in large number across the Texas-Mexico border — more than 40,000 have made the long trip to the United States.

The U.S. military and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) have been using surveillance blimps, known as aerostats, for many years. However, the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) may be considering using them as well, based upon an agency request for information.

The tens of thousands of illegal immigrants Border Patrol intercepts each month is a fraction of the overall traffic crossing the U.S.-Mexico border, according to the president of a union representing Border Patrol agents.

Despite a renewed surge of Central American migrants and concerns about an increase in Cubans seeking asylum at the U.S.-Mexico border, the Obama administration is reducing aerial surveillance along the border.

Moderator Megyn Kelly kicked off the last GOP debate before Iowa by describing Donald Trump as “the elephant not in the room,” and then inviting criticism of the absent front-runner.

Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) says a lack of border security is playing a significant role in the increased use of heroin in the U.S. During a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing Wednesday on “America’s epidemic of heroin and prescription drug abuse,”

GOP presidential candidate Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) insists a 100-foot wall is not necessarily the answer to border security and adequate legal immigration can help alleviate America’s illegal immigration problem.

ANKENY, Iowa — Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), a 2016 GOP presidential candidate, accused GOP frontrunner billionaire Donald Trump of supporting the “Gang of Eight” amnesty bill pushed through the U.S. Senate in 2013 by Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL).

The interesting discussion is all on the Republican side, and there were some strong exchanges in Las Vegas. Contrary to Chris Christie’s dismissal of the debate over surveillance between Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio as so much senatorial jibber-jabber, there are serious questions of liberty, security, and privacy to discuss. (Having said that, Governor Christie’s tone will probably appeal to voters who want strong leadership and decisive action on national security, as will Donald Trump’s.)

LAS VEGAS, Nevada — Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) is calling on CNN’s Wolf Blitzer and the other debate moderators here this evening to actually ask Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) about the “Gang of Eight” amnesty bill he pushed with Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY). Rubio, in multiple debates so far this election cycle, has not been asked even once about the bill—his only legislative accomplishment other than providing the 60th vote for Obamatrade’s Trade Promotion Authority (TPA)—during any debate. It remains to be seen if Blitzer will asks Rubio about his amnesty plan with Schumer.

LAREDO, Texas — Just days after Breitbart Texas revealed that Los Zetas cartel drug smugglers were running wild in this border city by using a popular border park to run their drugs, authorities have since stepped up their presence in the area. Though local and federal authorities had been made aware that drug runners were using the children’s park in broad daylight, they took no action until Breitbart Texas was the first media outlet to cover the issue.

On Wednesday, California Governor Jerry Brown balked at a blanket acceptance of Syrian refugees during a White House teleconference with fellow governors–despite his public protestations that he fully supports bringing the refugees to his state.

Donald Trump has run well on the immigration issue partly because most of his rivals played some role in creating the crisis. The immigration mess has been brewing for a long time, and most established politicians have taken a turn at stirring the pot.

Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) stated that the ability of ISIS to infiltrate refugees is “a real problem” and Paris “proves” a terrorist attack against the US “probably will happen” on Saturday’s “Larry Kudlow Show.” Johnson said, “There is a real

Shortly after the tragic terror attacks that occurred in Paris the evening of November 13, French President Francois Hollande ordered the closing of his country’s borders to prevent anyone involved in the attacks from leaving France. However, carrying out such an order by bringing all cross-border traffic to a halt—even in a country as relatively small as France—is easier said than done.

South Carolina Senator and Republican presidential candidate Lindsey Graham argued the Paris terror attacks are an opportunity “to rally the entire world” to fight ISIS and “should be a wake-up call that rather than trying to figure out how to
