 $3,000 to Illegal Immigrants If They Self-Deport by December 31

30 people have died in ICE custody in 2025, 4 between Dec 12 and Dec 15 alone, the most since 2004, and it's costing TENS OF BILLIONS

 Four ICE detainee deaths in four days spark alarm as arrests grow

... The recent deaths bring total detainee deaths to 30 in 2025, the highest number since 2004, when 32 people died in ICE custody. This year’s total includes two detainees who were killed after a shooting at a Dallas ICE facility. At least two others died this year, according to ICE, but not in immigration detention.  

Nearly 66,000 people are in detention, according to ICE data, a record high, and the Trump administration is seeking to spend $45 billion to expand immigration detention after receiving an infusion of cash from Congress. ...

 

Under Trump America is for sale, to the highest bidder: Give me your best, your rich, your preening elites yearning to drink tea . . .

Pretty strange for a "movement" which is supposed to be P O P U L I S T. 

 

Sales of Trump immigration gold card top $1 billion

... The card is a whopping $1 million for individuals to purchase, and $2 million for corporations, and gives recipients lawful permanent residence status as an EB-1 or EB-1 visa holder. ...

Yeah Kristi, who let that guy stay in our country in the first place?

 What a moron she is.

Alleged 2025 MIT and Brown University killer was a Portugese national who obtained permanent resident status under President Donald Trump in 2017

 

 Brown and MIT prof shooter suspect Neves Valente is found dead, authorities say

... Authorities said he is believed to have originally been in the United States on a student visa and obtained lawful permanent resident status in 2017.

Trump immediately tries to cover his ass:

U.S. green card lottery suspended after Brown University shooting 

... Noem said that Valente entered the U.S. through the DV1 program in 2017 and was granted a green card. 

“In 2017, President Trump fought to end this program, following the devastating NYC truck ramming by an ISIS terrorist, who entered under the DV1 program, and murdered eight people,” she wrote on X.

The Diversity Immigrant Visa Program (DV Program) allocates up to 50,000 immigrant visas every year, according to the USCIS website.

The program is a lottery. Visas are randomly allocated to individuals from countries with low rates of immigration to the U.S.

 

Bush didn't keep us safe on 911, and Trump didn't keep us safe in 2025. A young, talented College Republican is dead because of him.

If Trump can simply suspend the program in 2025, he could have done it in 2017 when he was president the first time, but he didn't.

 

White House Press Secretary Komrade Karoline lies about foreign born employment, says foreigners took 100% of the jobs under Biden

 Foreign born employment increased 6.5 million under Joe Biden, Jan 2021-Jan 2025.

Native born employment increased 7.5 million.

That's 46.4% for the foreign born, not 100%.

No one asks who hired them.

No one asks why we aren't going after those employers.

No Republican repudiates this obvious lying.

 

 

Who employs the illegal aliens, and who buys the illegal drugs?

 

Trump's base is not happy: Strong disapproval of Trump hits new high 46% in Rasmussen Reports Poll, strong approval hits new low 27% for a second day

Trump's total disapproval score remains at a record high 55% for a second day.

His strong approval score is now a record low 27%, lower than his April 9th tariff low of 29%, his only sub-30 score until the last two weeks.

Trump has had a string of eleven sub-30 strong approval scores since November 11th.

Trump kicked off the period on November 11th stating that we needed H-1B workers because we didn't have enough talent in America. The longest federal government shutdown in history ended on Wednesday the 12th. Around the 15th he reversed his tariffs on coffee and other food items which had contributed to their record high prices in the first place. The same day brought the news that he had also stabbed Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia in the back over her criticism of the GOP's refusal to extend the Obamacare premium tax credits. The Epstein files saga came to a head on the 18th requiring their release, but will we ever see them? TikTok was supposed to be sold or shut down by act of Congress, too, and it has not been. On the 19th Trump was kissing the ass of the Saudi killer of Khashoggi, MBS, in the Oval Office. On the 20th Trump's secret 28-point plan with Russia to carve up Ukraine came to light. On the 22nd Democrats went on camera talking darkly about illegal orders being given to the military in the Caribbean. A National Guard soldier was executed on the streets of DC on the 26th by an Afghan refugee let into America by Biden but given residency by Trump. By the 29th we learned that survivors of a Trump drug boat attack in the Caribbean on September 2 were executed in a subsequent strike by the US military, which they obviously hoped no one would ever find out about. They spent the whole time since making up shit about this being a war justifying military engagement when everyone knows it's not a war and killing people for running drugs in the first place is wrong, otherwise the job we give the Coast Guard to do year in and year out has been simply a pointless exercise.

Trump's base is not happy. Pick your reason(s).

Straw Man Vance

 

Prioritizing Ukraine Over Your Own Country Is Bonkers

Vice President JD Vance, X

 

Hundreds of millions of dollars are presently being spent against Venezuela which hasn't attacked anybody, at least $5 billion was burned in the unsuccessful attempt to stop the Houthis in the Red Sea, Israel received close to $18 billion in help after 10/7, Operation Midnight Hammer against Iran alone cost several hundred million dollars, and DHS is going to burn through $170 billion over the next four years for immigration and border enforcement because of the Big Ugly Bill.

 

Recent Police State deployments of the National Guard to places like DC and LA have cost from $1-2 million per day.

 

America can do and does do many things at once, especially when it comes to spending money on "wars", whether foreign . . . or domestic. 

 

J. D. Vance is smart enough to know all that. He's just counting on fooling enough of the people who aren't. 

This looks like pretty sweet revenge for the Tucker Carlson-Nick Fuentes imbroglio: The Heritage Foundation has a released a report highly critical of Trump's deportation policy

"You tarnish us, we'll tarnish you. And after all we've done for you, too."

 

 ... Howell, a former Homeland Security official in the first Trump administration, criticizes the lack of data being shared by DHS to back up its claims that 600,000 deportations will be carried out by the end of the year. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the main agency responsible for these removals, has stopped publishing the monthly data to show this progress. There hasn't been a monthly release since Trump took office. "Without access to the data, it is impossible to ascertain how the DHS is supporting its varying claims of deportation and self-deportation numbers," the report says. ...

More.

Even at 600k per year, the Trump administration will fall short of removing 11 million illegal aliens by 8.6 million by the time it is over.

And they'll waste $85 billion while doing it.

"The American people voted for mass deportations. They're getting mass communications instead," the report's author Mike Howell tells Axios.

Owner-occupied housing is in short supply, in part because of pandemic-related panic-buying by 5.4 million in 2020, not because of a post-pandemic illegal alien surge under Joe Biden

 ... we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens ... Under the Biden administration, the price of a new home literally doubled in four years. ...

-- The ever-ridiculous J. D. Vance, here

Hysteria is everywhere on this issue.

Owner-occupied housing is hardly higher today than it was at the 2020 peak. 

Buyers became hysterical in 2020, seeking isolation. Vance is hysterical in 2025, playing immigration politics. The Fed went hysterical in 2008 slashing interest rates, and it took fourteen years and pandemic-related inflation just to get them to snap out of it.

The Fed's ZIRP after the Great Recession drove down mortgage interest rates to sub-five percent, averaging less than three by 2021.

As everyone knows, when you lower the long term price of a mortgage, you can "buy more house".

That's the major culprit driving prices higher, making housing more expensive, that and the 2-year rule. It took more than a decade of zero interest rate policy to bring us to this pass. It has not been and will not be remedied overnight, especially by its new cheerleaders in the Trump administration.

Cutting interest rates will only make housing more expensive. 

New housing is indeed soaring, but people need to get a grip. The median sales price of all housing in the United States is up 30% since 2020, not 50% like it was in the five or six years right after 2008.

A better government tax policy on housing is called for. The biggest problem is that the mere 2-year owner-occupancy requirement for capital gains tax exclusion has turned housing into a commodity since 1997. It was a big mistake to make housing so fungible. The answer lies in applying the brakes to that, so that the emphasis is on housing as a home as opposed to as a speculative investment driving prices for all types of homes irrationally higher.

The old policy allowed the exclusion only once in a lifetime. You sold your house when you retired and enjoyed life living off the proceeds mostly tax-free, usually in a down-sized arrangement or as a renter. Otherwise during your working life, when you had to sell to move, you had to purchase at least sideways, or up in price so that your gains went into the new place, not into your pocket. That's how housing became such a tempting source of pent-up capital in the first place. There was an incentive to maintain a ladder of housing values upon which people could move more freely, mostly up but also down.

We need to go back to some form of that arrangement.

But our leaders seem to have no imagination for it. They can't see that what we did in 1997 was a revolution. A bad revolution.

Sad! 

 

It's very amusing that Kevin Sorbo thinks MAGA voters will refuse to vote Republican in the midterms because Trump said we don't have enough talent in this country

Why people vote is emotional to these people, not rational.

"I'm insulted Trump thinks Americans have no talent so I'm voting for the other guy".

OK whatever. 

Trump meanwhile pretended in the interview with Laura Ingraham that he had nothing to do with the round-up and deportation of hundreds of Koreans from the Georgia battery plant, which was basically Obama's MO throughout his presidency when a problem occurred in the country under his watch.

"You didn't build that over there, and I didn't do that other thing over here." 

Trump administration in damage-control mode after Hyundai immigration raid sparks investment concerns

... The Georgia facility, operated by Hyundai Motor Group and LG Energy Solution, saw 475 of its workers arrested on allegations that they were in the U.S. illegally, or without the proper work permits, with hundreds of detained South Koreans sent home Thursday.

The raid was part of a broader deportation drive by the Trump administration, which the White House has described as central to fulfilling U.S. President Donald Trump’s election campaign promises. Stephen Miller, the White House’s deputy chief of staff and homeland security adviser, has pushed for 3,000 arrests a day. ...

 

 

Well good luck with that JD, at the rate you guys are going it will take you over 30 years to remove 30 million illegals, and that's being optimistic

Cernovich is delusional when he says that the absence of Trump on the ballot yesterday equated to lower voter turnout and GOP losses

Trump being absent from the ballot explains nothing about yesterday. This might come, however, from an ulterior motive in support of a Trump 2028 run. As such it is disinformation for his ignorant followers.

Yesterday's turnout was high, and arguably precisely because of Trump, for doing nothing about inflation and for literally beating people up in the streets everyday in ICE operations.

Who could be so stupid? 

Virginia turnout yesterday broke the record.

NYC mayoral turnout yesterday was the highest since 1969.

New Jersey turnout yesterday at 3.2 million plus was higher than in 2021 at 2.6 million. Democrat voters were energized to turnout.

Gee, I wonder why? 

Trump won in 2016 with the lowest turnout in two decades, when the GOP also won both House and Senate. Trump underperformed John McCain 2008 in 13 states in 2016. Hillary underperformed Obama 2008 in 39 states in 2016. It was truly a Revulsion Election. Nobody liked either one of them, they just disliked Hillary more. 

But when turnout was at an all time high, in 2020, Trump lost everything: the presidency, the House, and the Senate.

Low turnout has almost always favored Republicans. It is tried and true election wisdom. High turnout not so much. 

Cernovich is allied with the likes of OG MAGA Steve Bannon, an ex-con, who is probably the chief advocate of an illegal Trump 2028 run.

What a shock, right?

“Have some of these raids gone too far?” O’Donnell asked.

“No, I think they haven’t gone far enough because we’ve been held back by the judges, by the liberal judges that were put in by Biden and by Obama,” Trump said.

“You’re OK with those tactics?” O’Donnell countered.

“Yeah, because you have to get the people out,” Trump said.

Irony alert: Masked ICE, DHS, CBP employees who get to hide their identities roam the streets with facial recognition capability to gather images and fingerprints of citizens

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

 

You thought you were voting for deportations of illegals, and you got an Obama-style police state instead.

If you see ICE, CBP, DHS on the street, turn around and go the other way, and vote against these bastards.

You Can't Refuse To Be Scanned by ICE's Facial Recognition App, DHS Document Says

... On Wednesday 404 Media reported that both ICE and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) are scanning peoples’ faces in the streets to verify citizenship. 

... The app can also scan peoples’ fingerprints and provide information based on those, and uploads location data “so ICE can identify where the encounter took place.”

“Although the intended purpose of the Mobile Fortify Application is to identify aliens who are removable from the United States, users may use Mobile Fortify to collect information in identifiable form about individuals regardless of citizenship or immigration status. It is conceivable that a photo taken by an agent using the Mobile Fortify mobile application could be that of someone other than an alien, including U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents,” the document continues.

... “By using the Mobile Fortify app to provide real-time responses to biometric queries, ICE officers and agents can reduce the time and effort to identify targets compared to existing manual processes,” the document says.
