I think it is the total lack of self awareness and refusal to accept responsibility for their own decisions that amuses me.

Canada Sees Record Crossings As Illegal Immigrants See US Northern Border As 'Plan B'

 

[...] It appears that, for immigrants who are intent on breaking into the United States, if crossing the southern border is too difficult -- hard to believe -- there is always the U.S. northern border.  [...]

Very good questions posed here.  Comments?

The people taking illegal aliens into their homes—saints, predators, or fools?

 

Last year, Massachusetts' Democrat Governor Maura Healey (who has just nominated her ex-girlfriend for a seat on the state's Supreme Court) put out a plea for her state's residents to take in illegal aliens because the state's shelters are at capacity.  (Since then, Logan Airport has also become a shelter.)  The local media are now touting some Brookline residents who answered the call.  The reports are adulatory, but little things creep into them that can't be missed, including the suspicion that some people are finding a cute workaround to the Thirteenth Amendment.  [...]

This will be a total and eye-opening cluster for these initially generous libs.  And have any of us heard of government operating so rapidly?  And how about yet another community center being hijacked?

Border Crisis Expands to the North As Smugglers Transport Illegal Immigrants Through Canadian Border

 

As if the crisis at the southern border wasn't already bad enough, it appears the northern border is becoming a growing problem as well.  As illegal immigrants and asylum seekers seek out multiple ways to enter the United States, the border shared with Canada is receiving more attention as cartel smugglers adjust their tactics.

New York Mayor Warns Migrants If They Keep Attacking NYPD Officers, They'll Be Downgraded To 4-Star Hotels

 

NEW YORK, NY — During a recent press conference, Mayor Eric Adams announced that he will no longer tolerate migrant attacks against NYPD officers, warning that further incidents would result in a downgrade in migrant living accommodations from luxurious 5-star hotels to humble 4-star establishments.

 

"We're sending a strong, clear message that we mean business," said Mayor Eric Adams sternly.  "If you mess with New York's finest, you're going to have to have a slightly less luxurious stay."  [...]

I thought San Diego welcomed migrants

 

 

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Hundreds of migrants were dropped off Friday at a San Diego bus stop instead of at a reception center that had been serving as a staging area because it ran out of local funding sooner than expected, showing how even the largest city on the country’s southern border is struggling to cope with the unprecedented influx of people.

Migrants who previously had a safe place to charge phones, use the bathroom, eat a meal and arrange to head elsewhere in the U.S. were now left on the street as migrant aid groups scrambled to help out as best they could with makeshift arrangements.

Border Patrol buses carrying migrants from Senegal, China, Ecuador, Rwanda and many other countries arrived outside a transit center. Migrant aid groups said they would be bused from there to a parking lot where they could charge their phones and get a ride to the airport. The vast majority planned to spend only a few hours in San Diego before taking a flight or having someone pick them up.

“Are we in San Diego?” asked Gabriel Guzman, 30, a painter from the Dominican Republic who was released after crossing the border in remote mountains on Thursday. He was told to appear in June in an immigration court in Boston, where he hopes to earn money to send home to his three children.

Abd Boudeah, of Mauritania, flew to Tijuana, Mexico, through Nicaragua and followed other migrants to an opening in the border wall, where he surrendered to agents Thursday after walking about eight hours. The former molecular engineering student said he fled persecution for being gay and planned to settle in Chicago with a cousin who had been in the U.S. for 20 years.

“I’ve dreamed about this (moment) a lot, and thank God I’m here,” Boudeah, 23, said in flawless English.

Volunteers gave instructions in English, Spanish and French to small groups, all of them single men and women. They used translation apps for other languages.

“We’re going to cross the street together and line up,” a volunteer said into his phone, which then translated it into Hindi for a group of men from India.

“Tired from the road,” Alikan Rdiyer, 31, of Kazakhstan, said in Russian as he waited for instructions to give to a friend from Los Angeles who was going to pick him up. The Border Patrol gave him a notice to appear in immigration court in August 2025 in Philadelphia — a city he hadn’t heard of.

The transit center parking lot was full of cars, giving migrants nowhere to stand, and there were no public bathrooms. A taxi driver offered a ride to San Diego International Airport for $100, double what ride-sharing apps were charging. Some migrants dispersed in the neighborhood when volunteers were unable to reach them with instructions to wait on the sidewalk.

San Diego County has given $6 million since October to SBCS, a nonprofit formerly known as South Bay Community Services, to provide phone-charging stations, food, travel advice and other services at a former elementary school. The group aimed to keep it open through March, but Thursday was its last day.

Federal Judge Blocks Texas Border Security Law

 

U.S. District Judge David Ezra ruled today that Texas Senate Bill 4 violates the U.S. Constitution and prior Supreme Court rulings that put the federal government in charge of immigration laws and restrictions.  Senate Bill 4 was scheduled to go into effect on March 5.

 

The new law would allow local law officers to arrest and state judges to deport illegal aliens along the southern border.  Lawyers for Texas argued that the law signed by Governor Abbott in December is a valid response to President Biden's dereliction of duty on the border.  [...]
