Keep your mouths shut about illegal immigrants or face arrest

They are not immigrants or migrant workers. they are illegal aliens.

The media crackdown along the Rio Grande happened shortly after TheBlaze visited the region last month and traveled along some of the more secluded roads along the river’s edge. TheBlaze witnessed dozens of illegal immigrants turning themselves in to Border Patrol agents after making the crossing into the United States and interviewed many of them before they were taken away.

While in McAllen, Texas, TheBlaze made multiple requests to have access to the facilities where illegals are being held. Border Patrol spokesman Joe Gutierrez said all requests needed to be approved by senior DHS officials in Washington, D.C., and all were denied. A tour of a facility in Brownsville, Texas, was given to reporters who were forbidden from speaking to agents or immigrants. TheBlaze chose not to participate in the tour.

Border Patrol agent Chris Cabrera said supervisors in his sector cleared more than 200 illegal immigrants being detained in the sally port, a garage used to load and unload illegal immigrants, last Wednesday when a group of bipartisan senior lawmakers made a planned visit to the McAllen Border Patrol station.

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va) and House Oversight Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.), Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) and Rep. Joe Garcia (D-Fla.) traveled to the Rio Grande Valley Sector to inspect the facilities where the majority of illegal immigrant children and adults are being detained.

Miriam and her son Daniel, 1, took seven days by bus and car to reach the U.S.-Mexico border from Honduras. She said they paid a trafficker more than $1000 to make the crossing; Miriam turned herself into Border Patrol officials along the Rio Grande Valley sector.

“They don’t want people to know what’s going on here, or for that matter anywhere, when it comes to the surge of illegal aliens and when [Congress] went to visit, the place was cleared out,” said Cabrera, who is the vice president of the National Border Patrol Council’s Local 3077. “The night before the group of lawmakers arrived the senior supervisors loaded up a couple hundred people being held in the sally port and shipped them out to Laredo. If everything is so fine and dandy, why not let the lawmakers in just the way it is?”

DHS officials in Washington, D.C., did not immediately return phone call requests for comment. More than 47,000 unaccompanied children have crossed into the U.S. illegally this year. Up to 90,000 are expected to cross into the country by year’s end.

Cabrera, along with several other Border Patrol agents who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly, said the Obama administration is covering up the difficult working conditions that Border Patrol agents are confronted with, as well as the detrimental situation to the nation as the flow of illegal aliens continues to increase.

“It even frustrated some of the mid-level management,” Cabrera said of the order by DHS officials to move the illegals the night before the congressional visit. “How are we supposed to get any help out here if we’re hiding the facts from the people who are supposed to be here to help us?”

The clamp down by DHS on information and access in the Rio Grande Valley is also being being felt at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, where more than 1,000 unaccompanied minors, mainly from Central America, are being housed. Rep. Jim Bridenstine (R-Okla.) said Monday that he was denied access to the facility housing the children when he made an unplanned visit on July 1.

Brindenstine said he was told by a manager from the Department of Health and Human Services that the next opportunity for him to visit would be July 21, but was later told that a July 12 tour was possible.

The congressman sent a letter to HHS officials Monday protesting the administration’s demand that visits be planned and prescheduled.

“It is unacceptable that any representative of the people be limited to pre-planned, showcased visits to a facility so critical to the well-being of children,” he wrote. “Ordinary Americans have a right to know what is happening in these facilities, how the children are being treated, and what is being done to stop this human tragedy.”

I do not think Canada would sign on to that. Do not forget our Northern neighbors, I do not think they are happy with the US right now and I don't think they are as welcoming to illegals.

mom - While I agree with you I don't think it matters. WE as citizens are not real fond of illegal aliens, WE as citizens aren't in love with the idea of one world .gov, WE as citizens were opposed to things like NAFTA and BAFTA and all the other crap they've been trying to cram down our throats but that hasn't meant a damned thing to TPTB. If they want one america (lower case intentional), they'll move heaven INTO hell to do it.

It was a powerful weekend for those of us here at Mercury and those who volunteered their time and went down to the border. We went down with Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX), Rep. Randy Weber (R-TX), Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX). It was pretty shocking. And I want to take you through a few things.

I want to take you through, first, what we did when we first got there at 4 o’clock in the morning. We went to the border. Anything about anybody telling you that the border is secure is the biggest lie you’ve ever heard in your life. It is so far out of control. It’s incomprehensible.

Two hours before we got there, there were .50 caliber machine gun rounds were lobbed on to the American side by the drug cartels. .50 caliber machine gun. I don’t know. Does that sound like a secure border? The reason why that was happening is they were laying down suppressing fire while they smuggled illegals in. And I want to ask you one question that I think will change your view of what’s happening on the border.

Right now we all think about is what’s happening with these illegals coming across and swimming across the Rio Grande. And we think about these people who have traveled 30 days on foot. And then they pay $7,000 for a family to go across the Rio Grande. Have we thought about that $7,000 and where that $7,000 is going? The things that our government is now encouraging through their lack of enforcement is reprehensible. So these families go across the river. How do they afford $7,000? They can’t. So then how do they get across? They pay the drug lords $3,000 and the drug lords say, ‘Don’t worry about it. You know what? You just get over and then we’ll work it out.’ Now, what does that mean? I mean, it is Al Capone stuff. You owe us a favor, and so I’m going to call on you and you’re going to do these things or I’ll kill your whole family. Or they come in and they are doing the drug lords’ business here in the United States. Those are two options. I’m sure there are more. But those are two options.

So how do we stop this? Well, we have to be clear on the border. We have to be clear that you don’t stay here. But that’s not happening anytime soon. Nobody in Washington has any interest. I shouldn’t say nobody. The guys I was with, they have interest. But very few people have interest in actually stopping this, because there’s a lot of money to be made. And there’s a lot of political votes to be had before you just stop what’s going on.

Here’s the question that I asked. I haven’t received an answer on this. We were driving underneath the International Bridge at 4 o’clock in the morning. We are in the woods. We’re right at the river. We are looking over the river to Mexico. We’re hearing the sounds of coyotes and chickens. I mean actual coyotes, not human coyotes, and chickens in the morning. We’re hearing the wild dogs running through this area. It’s hot. It’s humid. It’s 4am. We’re seeing the rafts. We’re seeing the little teeny children’s life jackets that have been discarded all over, piles of them, all over the border. One of them had a scorpion on top of it. There are tarantulas and rattlesnakes. We were told, ‘Make sure you’re wearing boots. Make sure you wear long sleeves and you button up your collars.’ It’s horrible. It is a horrifying place to be.

The border guards have to go and clean this area up all the time. They haven’t had the time to go pick up the sacks of clothes that have been left by them after they cleaned it up. It is a mess. As we’re in this area, there is this mile-long international bridge. And it goes from the Mexican side to the American side. And at the end of this bridge is the I.N.S., the border security. Now, we have been told the whole time, ‘All you have to do is come over and turn yourself in. They are seeking out our border patrol.’ Now, two hours before we got to the border, at 2:00am or midnight, somewhere in this area, there was suppressing fire fired into the American side with .50 caliber machine gun. Now, why is that happening? Hang on. Come back to the bridge for a second. They’re smuggling people across the water, and those people are looking for the border patrol to turn themselves in and say, ‘I’m here because I’m escaping oppression.’ That’s what we’re told, right?

Photo Credit: George Lange/Lange Studio

Why are they going across the river when there’s a bridge right there that is free? You don’t have to pay anybody to smuggle you across the bridge, all you have to do is take your family and walk across the bridge and go to the same exact people and say, ‘I’m escaping oppression. I need help.’ And they let you in. Why are they coming across the river? They’re coming across the river because the drug cartels benefit from it. The drug cartels will never hear any message except the message from the government of the United States of America. I said, ‘How can we tell the people to stop?’ And the border patrol laughed at me. You’re not going to be able to. ‘Do you have the resources that the United States government or the drug cartels have?’ Well, of course not. You’re not going to be able to beat the drug cartels with a message. The message the drug cartels want is, ‘Come to us. We will get you across.’ They’re making money on this.

More importantly, why are they hitting us with .50 caliber machine gun rounds? Why are they doing it? Why are they on boats? They’ll take the weakest swimmer, the one who cannot swim, and when they’re coming across the boat with all of these people who paid them, they take the weakest swimmer and throw them out of the boat. They do it so the border agents have to swarm. They only throw that person down into the river so they’ll die, so the border patrol – out of compassion – have to come. But then they have their people on the other side. It’s called rocking. And what they do is they stand around with stones. And they start pelting our border agents with stones as they’re trying to save that individual. They’re trying to drive all the border patrol into that one area – misdirection – so people elsewhere can smuggle God only knows what across our border.

So if you don’t care about the border because of the people coming across, somebody on the left has got to care about the border because of what else is coming across. And if you don’t care about securing our border, let me tell you two stories. Let me tell you about the 15-year-old boy that was found on the shores of the Rio Grande. The 15-year-old boy that was found dumped on the side of the river. Our side. Where was his parents? I don’t know. Where was his family? I don’t know. How did he get across? I don’t know. He was strapped to a wheelchair, and he’s a quadriplegic. He couldn’t move anything but his head. Luckily, the border patrol found him, dumped off on the American side of the river. Everybody else had left. But the cartels or smugglers completed their contract. They dumped him and his wheelchair face down on the side of the river. The kid would have died had it not been for the border patrol that actually found him. It was 110 heat index when we were there. It’s one of the hottest places I’ve ever been. You don’t have water. You die.

Ask yourself: Why aren’t people just coming over the bridge? Once you answer that question, you realize what’s really going on. I’m going to give you another question: Why is it the president of the United States wants you to know there’s a humanitarian crisis? He’s the first one to declare it. ‘There’s a humanitarian crisis on the border.’ Correct? We’ve all heard that. We’ve all heard the left making a very big deal out of it. Why is it no one in the press is allowed to see it? It has been something that has bothered me until I went down.

‘It is a horrifying place to be’: Glenn reflects on his visit to the Rio Grande River with Louie Gohmert – Glenn Beck

Motomom34 · Jul 29, 2014

I don't know where to put this but all I am hearing is Obama and his pen. Obama and sweeping amnesty. Obama to go around Congress. WTH??? Can he really do this? Can he really just make a decision and create millions of more Americans and not face consequences? I know that we have laws but who is going to hold him accountable? Who will enforce the laws we have on the books? I don't even think the Senate works anymore, where have they been? What about congress? What do they do? You hear a few squawking but where are the rest? Headline Drudge has been running article one right after another on this issue.

Once again we have a majority of Americans saying NO! No amnesty, send those kids back but no one in the white house seems to be listening.

The war powers act needs to be repealed. Then his pen reverts to constitutional power.

DarkLight · Jul 29, 2014

@kellory - haven't been on all day but I can't believe you beat @Brokor to it!

In short, yes, he can do exactly that. He's a lame duck president (unless...well frankly unless he decides not to be but let's not get into that) which is why he's now willing to pull out all the stops.

@Motomom34 - No, nobody in a position of authority is going to say anything because they KNOW they can't DO anything. This version of a democratic republic is the regime that has been pulled of your eyes, and yes, this administration is no different than the last 10+ before it (and they were no different from each other, substantively).

*couldn't come up with a cool "W" word for government, a la: The Matrix is the World that has been pulled over your eyes.

Not at all its just that @Brokor seems to have an alert that triggers on this kind of thing and us usually all over it. Then again, he's now been mentioned and didn't chime in so he may be otherwise occupied.

Brokor · Jul 30, 2014

LOL! @Yard Dart nope, been busy looking for a new job locally and trying to get stuff done.

Yeah, glad you guys are on par. @Motomom34 the "President" can do anything he wants, he is a dictator according to law and authority of Congress, and can only be revoked by Presidential proclamation or violent revolution. This is a similar way the Roman republic fell to tyranny long ago, with silent consent and fear of those who usurped power. A lot of folks just want to carve out a comfortable life and try to evade the reality of our police state empire, but ignoring the truth won't set us free. Still, I can understand how difficult it is to place your life and the lives of your family at risk for speaking out. Today, we have the internet, which is the only obstacle in the way of the corporate global empire, and you can bet every penny you've got they are figuring out ways to control it. With the social media outlets online, and the help of the corporate media, they are establishing a patterned behavioral structure to try to confine people to. We see most operating systems moving more toward iPhone type applications, limiting the end user ability to code and freely use computing capabilities. More people are also using phones as a means to access the internet, also. The thing folks will probably forget, is that open source coding and computing actually makes the internet a valuable and powerful resource. Without them, we are at the mercy of the corporations who will undoubtedly spoon-feed us all the tracking they want and limit what we can see. As for the social media itself, we will see more law enforcement prying into our lives, and the media will report on how justified it all is in the end. The important thing for the "government" to do, is to perpetuate this myth about things working like many traditionally believe, but slowly introducing (incremental) the idea of extraordinary powers of the executive. This incremental approach has proven to be very effective at implementing change, even radical change. As long as the people continue to do nothing, they will keep tightening the rope around their necks. This is all about control so the corporations can increase profits and the powerful banking elite can continue to cement globalist policy and ensure we are controllable. If the people wake up and take back their country, and re-institute a republic and limited government, it would mean no more corporate empires, no more private banking, no more taxes going back to the British Crown, who still lay claim to this continent and will stop at nothing to keep it this way. The entire system is based upon these very real, and disturbing facts. There is no such thing as liberty, there's only "Democracy", which is really a modernized form of Communism. As for Communism, it was created to infiltrate existing governments from within and destroy the society, bringing it to its ultimate conclusion: Socialism. All the power and wealth of a socialist nation resides in the governing authority, which is the State, and the people are its humble servant.

Anyway. Tea time.
