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…)

Actor Sean Penn met with Sinaloa Cartel drug-kingpin El Chapo for an interview on behalf of Rolling Stone magazine; and the feds were tracking him – that’s how they caught El Chapo.

Who’s going to try and protect Sean Penn from the Sinoloa cartel retaliation now?

Since 2013 we have specifically documented the legislative agenda of Tom Donohue, Wall Street, and their lobbying arm the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.  The CoC legislative agenda includes:

• Passage of the Trans-Pacific Trade Deal
• Retention of ObamaCare – Without repeal or modification
• Implementation of Federal Common Core Education Standards
• Comprehensive Immigration Reform to include Amnesty

All of the presidential candidates actively support this chamber agenda (some more openly than others), which is also supported by Club4Growth, Koch Brothers, Robert Mercer, and Wall Street.

ALL of the GOP Presidential candidates have taken tens of millions in lobbyist money to assist their campaigns.

All, except Donald J Trump.

Julia Hahn […]  Conservative populist thought-leader Jeff Sessions has explained that supporting amnesty and citizenship for illegal immigrants should be inherently disqualifying for any GOP nominee. Sessions said previously, “Supporting citizenship for illegal immigrants should be disqualifying.

The he-said, he-said, between presidential candidates Senator Marco Rubio and Senator Ted Cruz provides an opportunity to highlight just how close passage of Amnesty law was in 2014.

The senate “Gang of Eight” comprehensive immigration reform bill, which included amnesty legislation  was not blocked by Ted Cruz nor Marco Rubio – it specifically passed the senate because of them, not despite them.

A very insightful PBS documentary “The Immigration Battle” lays out exactly what took place during the 2013/2014 legislative time frame.  If you have not watched the documentary I would strongly recommend you do so, it is profoundly enlightening.  (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:

Hat Tip Ziiggii who points to a Judicial Watch outline of suspicious activity near the U.S. Mexico Border.

(Via Judicial Watch) A Middle Eastern woman was caught surveilling a U.S. port of entry on the Mexican border holding a sketchbook with Arabic writing and drawings of the facility and its security system, federal law enforcement sources tell Judicial Watch.

The woman has been identified as 23-year-old Leila Abdelrazaq, according to a Customs and Border Patrol (CPB) report obtained by JW this week. Abdelrazaq appeared to have two accomplices, a 31-year-old man named Gabriel Schivone and a 28-year-old woman named Leslie Mcafee. (more…)

Did you wonder why the MSM was pushing a meme of “net immigration zero” for the past two weeks?   Here’s why.  Statistics from last month show a MASSIVE INCREASE in illegal alien immigration.  The number of illegal minors crossing doubles; the number of illegal alien families crossing the border triples….

WASHINGTON DC – Nearly 5,000 unaccompanied immigrant children were caught illegally crossing the U.S. border with Mexico in October, almost double the number from October 2014, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection data.

Also, in the figures released Tuesday, the number of family members crossing together nearly tripled from October 2014 — from 2,162 to 6,029. (more…)

Speaker of The House Paul Ryan, Sunday:

…All well and good, but what happens when their “ideas” are also unlawful?

CASE IN POINT – Three federal court decisions have ruled against Obama’s implementation of Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents program (“DAPA”) FULL BACKSTORY HERE, so why hasn’t the Senate acted to address?

The lack of congressional action reflects a serious case of “willful blindness“. (more…)

The topic of illegal immigration is a subject we have reviewed, researched and offered possible solutions for consideration for over four years. In Part ONE we outlined how illegal aliens achieve work in the U.S. and what would be needed to remove the incentive.

Any solution to solving the problem must first understand how the problem of illegal alien employment is supported by U.S. policy. In our opinion, removing those conflicting employment policies is something that has to be done.  A new example surfaced recently:

(Dade County Schools) […] Before hiring employees to work in the taxpayer-funded enterprise, the district of about 350,000 mostly Hispanic students likes to verify that candidates are in the country legally.

According to the Obama administration this is illegal and discriminates against employees in violation of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). So, the DOJ’s bloated Civil Rights Division went after Miami Dade County Public Schools (MDCPS) for discrimination and essentially forced it to stop checking if employees are authorized to work in the U.S.  (read more)

We have now had time to review Donald Trump’s border security and immigration proposals. Happily, he, and those who advise him, appear to be right over the target.

In addition to PART ONE “understanding illegal alien employment“, back in 2014 we shared the predictable impact of just enforcing the current U.S. laws on border entry – with the simple addition of a border wall.

Trump’s proposal carries: the border wall solution, the employment solution, the enforcement mechanisms of current law, and another angle that is strategically essential. “WESTERN UNION REMITTANCES” (Money Services Compliance): (more…)
