Mexico’s former president Felipe Calderon recently responded to Donald Trump’s border wall proposal by stating:

…The Mexican people, we are not going to pay any single cent for such a stupid wall! And it’s going to be completely useless… (link)

Why now?

Why would Calderon make such a claim at this specific moment in time?  Well, here’s a report that will answer that question.

(Mexico) Remittances sent home by Mexicans working outside the country surpassed petroleum revenues in 2015 for the first time.   There was a 4.75% increase in money sent from abroad, most of which comes from the U.S., to total US $24.8 billion last year, up from $23.6 billion in 2014, said the Bank of México.

The bank said it was the first time remittances had totaled more than petroleum revenues since it began tracking them in 1995.   Oil revenues last year totaled $23.4 billion.

An important factor in the increase in remittances is the jobs created by economic recovery in the U.S.   Some 11 million Mexicans are believed to be living in the U.S. and many work in construction. Remittances, 97% of which are sent electronically, averaged $292 last year. (link)

Yes, you read that correctly. Immigrant remittances received by Mexico have surpassed Mexico’s $23.4 billion in oil earnings.  This means the government of Mexico is more dependent than ever on the earnings of maids and gardeners in the U.S. to keep itself afloat. This is the leverage Donald Trump talks about to pressure Mexico to pay for the border wall. (more…)

During a packed town hall event in New Hampshire today, a liberal provocateur from Southern California confronted candidate Donald Trump and made a claim that illegal immigrants were the backbone of the U.S.A.

Donald Trump was having none of it.  Watch:

“Illegal immigrants are the backbone of our country? I don’t think so, darling. You know what the backbone of our country [is]? People that came here, and they came here legally. People that came here to this country legally, and they worked their ass off, and they made this country great.”

TEXAS – A patient diagnosed with the Zika virus in Texas became infected after having sexual contact with another sufferer, health experts said today.

It marks the first case of sexual transmission of the virus in the US, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed.  Dallas County health officials said the patient’s partner fell ill after visiting a country where Zika is rife.

While six people in Harris County, close to Houston, have contracted the disease after traveling to affected regions, this is thought to be the first case of a person becoming infected on US soil, having not traveled. (more…)

If an immigrant is here illegally, but hasn’t committed a crime, Rubio says they’re the good kind; keepers.   The “Illegal Non-Criminal” oxymoron aliens.

WASHINGTON DC – Sen. Marco Rubio says people who immigrated to the U.S. illegally but haven’t committed any major crimes could be allowed to stay.

In an interview airing Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” the Florida contender for the Republican presidential nomination said felons shouldn’t be allowed to stay, but those who commit lesser crimes could still qualify. In this interview, he didn’t specify whether those allowed to stay would ever be able to become citizens. (more…)

When New Hampshire voters consider the heroin epidemic they are facing, they know border security is much more than stopping illegal immigration.

TEXAS – One of Brownsville’s southmost property owners said he is fed up with all the drugs crossing on his land.  Rusty Monsees said he is seeing an increase in activity from the river. He’s also getting more phone calls about the activity.

Monsees has become the liaison between authorities and his neighbors.  “The amount of drugs that are coming through is phenomenal,” he said.

Monsees’s land is right on the river. The border fence is in his front yard. “They come over the fence; they climb over the fence,” he said.

Earlier this week, a Border Patrol chase on Monsees’s land ended with agents confiscating drugs and the driver escaping across the river.   Narcotics are common in this area and in the neighborhood up the road. (more…)

Sweden is now openly admitting their efforts to open the doors to Muslim refugees has resulted resulted in complete chaos.  Street gangs, lawlessness, anarchy, massive horrific crime increases including widespread and frequent gang rapes.

Two stories.  The first shares the current disposition and decision to immediately stop the influx of the Islamic horde.  The second story shows how horrific the scope of recent crime “Rapes – Acquittals – Severed Heads“:

MALMO, Sweden — When the small, crumpled body of 3-year-old Alan Kurdi washed up on the Aegean coast Sept. 2, Europe’s humanitarian superpower sprang into action.

Sweden’s prime minister headlined gala fundraisers, Swedish celebrities starred in telethons, and a country that prides itself on doing the right thing seemed to rally as one to embrace refugees fleeing for their lives. (more…)

Thank you Senator Sessions. In the dead of night after 2am this morning, Congressional leadership unveiled a more than 2,000 page ‘omnibus’ year-end funding bill which would, among other things: fully-fund the President’s refugee expansion; fully-fund sanctuary cities; fully-fund the resettlement of illegal aliens youth and their families crossing the border; lock-in tax credits for illegal aliens; and quadruple the highly controversial H-2B foreign worker visa being used to replace Americans as truck drivers, construction workers, theme park employees, and in blue collar jobs across the nation.

Everyone should MUST watch this senate floor speech today:

This sickening story is wrong on so many levels.  First a woman is beaten, brutalized and raped by an Islamist while no-one tries to stop it.  Then, to make matters worse the Islamopologist media allow the rapist’s family to make excuses for him.

Wow – Now we know why the GOPe is in full blown panic mode.  The results from the latest WMUR/CNN Poll in New Hampshire (full pdf below) shows support for Ben Carson has fully collapsed, and Ted Cruz drops below John Kasich…. But it gets much, much worse for the establishment candidates.

The GOPe road map has totally collapsed in New Hampshire.  All of the GOPe splitters are now left picking leftover scraps from those voters who are in the undecideds:

Trump has forced upon the GOPe the absolute nightmare scenario – “the splitters are splitting upon themselves”.   Rubio, Bush and Christie combined cannot beat Donald Trump’s current level of support.

The millions spent by Team Kasich have garnered him a grand total of 7%; and the tens of millions spent by Jeb Bush only get him to 8%.  The granite state electorate are fully engaged and they are seeing through the GOPe establishment schemes.

The New Hampshire voters are also seeing through the convenient flip-flops of Cruz and have identified the reality of Carson’s inability. (more…)
