Biden-Orchestrated Ops in Mexico Result in Texas Border Sector’s Crossings Drop to a Trickle

In Piedras Negras, Mexico, where migrants once surged into the city after disembarking from freight trains, the streets were void of the arrivals that had become commonplace during the recent months’ migrant crisis. The precipitous drop comes as authorities in Mexico began removing migrants from a train route known as “La Bestia.” Breitbart visited Piedras Negras, Mexico, this week only to find increased military patrols and only a very small number of migrants poised to cross into the United States into Eagle Pass.

House Overwhelmingly Passes Tax Bill

Despite suspending the rules and therefore requiring two-thirds support for passage, the Republican-led House easily passed a bipartisan tax bill extending much of the Trump tax cuts despite concern from conservatives that the rushed bill includes handouts to illegal aliens.

Randy Clark: ‘Texas Border Showdown’ Wrought with Political Spin and Misinformation

As the fury heats up in the ongoing Shelby Park dispute between the Department of Homeland Security and the State of Texas, the first casualty may be the truth. One part of the political narrative that is less than forthcoming is the idea that Texas was prompted to seize the park while thousands of migrants were crossing daily. Another element of the state’s narrative in opposition to the reality on the ground is that bold actions by Texas after the seizure occurred are responsible for slowing down the record-breaking levels of migrant crossings witnessed in December.

SPEAKER JOHNSON: Border is ‘Disaster of President’s Own Design’

U.S. Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, accompanied by a group of 64 other Republican legislators, visited the small Texas border city of Eagle Pass to receive a security briefing on the latest surge that saw more than 70,000 migrants cross the Rio Grande into the Del Rio Border Patrol Sector in December. Although the pace of migrant crossings has slowed in recent days, on Wednesday, Johnson made clear the responsibility for the record-breaking crossings at the border falls directly on the President’s failed policies.
