Liberals lose their minds as border czar Tom Homan unveils 'cruel' new mass deportation plan
Posted by: Skidmark || 12/27/2024 00:21 || Comments || Link || [11126 views] Top|| File under: Migrants/Illegal Immigrants

#1 

Sure, the Trump Deportation process won't be cheap.
But the Trump Deportation Process will be a 10 Million times more humane and less cruel than the process the Liberals used to get 10.5 MILLION illegals here for political reasons.

The Liberal OPEN BORDERS process involved Deaths, murders, Adult and Child Sex Trafficking, Gang Rapes, Allowed in KNOWN Violent Criminals, 100x rug smuggling increase, allowed in KNOWN Criminals, Terrorists and pedophiles.

But like I said, it will be a 10 Million times more humane and less cruel than the LIBERAL OPEN BORDER Process.

The annual ICE report released Thursday shows that ICE deported 271,484 illegal immigrants to 192 different countries in fiscal year 2024. Of those, 32.7% had criminal histories and 237 were known or suspected terrorists.

#5  How are we going to pay for it? We can cut off spending on illegal immigrant welfare and trafficking.
Posted by: Super Hose || 12/27/2024 11:25 Comments || Top||

#6  Cut off the benefits. Once they are in the repatriate system they will be given food, care, and transport home. Pays for itself after a month.

On the other end, major fines for companies and people who continue in the flesh trade.

Run a PR campaign explaining why and the benefits of returning home and the penalty not to. That after a deportation hub is operational, those who have not returned will be sent to the transport hub and detained until the next available transport to said destination, and will be registered and prevented from returning to the United States for all reasons except criminal incarceration. Deportation Hub is family friendly, but very disciplined, except for those with gang tattoos, they get the prison treatment and hostile traveler protocols, and dropped off at home country jail.

Those who self return can option into a sort of Honest Pilgrim Program, where if they choose to visit or even immigrate legally at a future point, this is noted as a positive.

It isn't saving money, but it is sure spending a hell of a lot less after only a year.

China-Japan-Koreas
Chinese war correspondent on the war for Taiwan and the war in Ukraine
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.

Interview conducted at @china3army (Telegram handle)

[ColonelCassad] Interview with Chinese war correspondent Zhu Haozheng on China Army TG channel

Zhu has been in Russia for three years now and has spent a lot of time in Donbass. Now he shares some answers to questions about China and Taiwan.

China is trying to resolve the Taiwan issue peacefully. However, the Taiwanese authorities do not listen to Beijing and continue to follow the lead of the United States, buy weapons from them and establish military ties, including with foreign countries. How long can China tolerate this?

In fact, since the 1950s, Taiwan has maintained good relations with some countries and bought a lot of weapons from them. Let's look at some events from the history of the last thirty years. Taiwan received fighter jets and warships from France, and missile systems, tanks, fighter jets and artillery from the United States. Beijing is very unhappy with this situation. China has tried to use diplomatic means to stop all this, but the effect is not ideal. I believe that this situation will not change in the future.

Taiwan is actively building up the defense of the island. Anti-China drills are being held, a coastal combat command and its subordinate military units equipped with anti-ship missiles are being formed, drones are being purchased and Taiwanese drone operators are being trained, etc. What does China think about this? Is it too late for China to resolve the issue of reunification with Taiwan by force? After all, this may result in large losses among Chinese troops.

As a person who has lived through the events of a special military operation, I am shocked by the development of military technology. For example, in Donbass, Russia is currently using drones in large numbers, including reconnaissance and aerial photography. There is no doubt that drones pose the greatest threat to soldiers in war.

Let's talk about Taiwan's military technology. In fact, Taiwan is capable of producing drones and missiles. They have good electronic products and can produce chips. Some people in Beijing are worried about this situation. They believe that even if a military operation in Taiwan begins, it will not end quickly, and Beijing will pay a price. After all, these drones and missiles pose a huge threat to warships, tanks and soldiers. Of course, it should also be noted that China's military technology is advancing faster than Taiwan's, so victory is in Beijing's hands.

How likely is it that China will launch a military operation to retake Taiwan? When will that happen?

Personally, I think that a military operation in Taiwan should be launched as soon as possible because the United States is currently in a difficult situation because of Ukraine. If Beijing opens a second front, it will be easier to win. In fact, relying on political means to regain Taiwan is unrealistic. Even during the Kuomintang period, which was friendly to Beijing, this situation did not work out. The only way to resolve the Taiwan issue is a military one, because Taiwanese leaders understand very well that their own military power is the only capital for confrontation.

The United States says that they want peace in the Taiwan Strait. What does Beijing think about this? Don't you think that America is deceiving China, trying to dull its attention and buy time to arm Taiwan?

As I mentioned, the United States is worried about Ukraine and perhaps Israel. So, Taiwan is not a priority for the United States at the moment, so Washington does not want a war in Taiwan. However, Washington does not stop arming Taiwan and plans to make it stronger. Perhaps America will give the Beijing authorities a peace commitment similar to the Minsk Agreements. But history has shown that the so-called peace promises or peace agreements are just pieces of paper. They can be torn up at any time. These promises and agreements are lies. Their purpose is to arm Washington's allies.

How will China react if the President of Taiwan officially declares the island's independence?

If Taiwan's leaders declare it a sovereign state, Beijing will probably take military action, but we cannot determine its scale. Military action will be carried out either throughout Taiwan or only on some of Taiwan's outer islands: Kinmen, Matsu, Penghu. We can recall history. In the late 1950s, Washington offered Taiwan independence. In order to warn/send a signal to Taiwan, the PRC authorities began an artillery battle for Kinmen. PLA artillery regularly shelled military targets in Kinmen. These military actions lasted for 20 years.

Will China turn to Russia for help if a crisis breaks out in the Taiwan Strait?

I think that if China decides to launch a military operation in Taiwan, the leadership in Moscow can find out about it in advance. After all, the US, Russia and China have common enemies. When you fight enemies, you need to inform your friends about it, and your friends will provide assistance, even if it is political, which is also very important.

How important is the experience of the Russian Armed Forces' special operation in the so-called Ukraine for China?

The Special Operation War can be called the largest war, which uses more military technology than World War II. There is no doubt that this war has given people many tips. For example, regarding drones, five years ago, the Chinese army rarely conducted drone training, but now drones are widely used in the combat training of the Chinese army. Infantry units often practice using UAVs to detect and destroy targets. Armored units also practice intercepting and countering drones. All this happened thanks to the experience gained during the SVO.

Do you see any progress in the training of Chinese volunteers in the special operation zone?

In fact, as far as I know, there are more than a hundred Chinese volunteers who have come to the SVO zone, some of whom are my friends. I keep in touch with them and interviewed them. They said that they learned many valuable military skills in Russia. Chinese volunteers sometimes took part in brutal assault operations and also suffered losses.

Do you agree with the statement that the US wants to turn Taiwan into a second Ukraine?

Yes. I agree. But the Taiwan that China is dealing with is a stronger Ukraine, with a developed economy and sophisticated industry. In 2018, the Taiwanese government announced for the first time the implementation of a project to develop the Yunfeng supersonic cruise missile. The firing range of this missile reaches 1,000 km, which completely covers such important Chinese cities as Nanjing, Shanghai, Fuzhou and Ningbo.

How or with what will China destroy the US Hymars multiple launch rocket systems supplied to Taiwan in the event of an escalation of tensions in the Taiwan Strait? After all, these systems pose a direct threat to Chinese territory.

In fact, the Taiwanese government not only has US missiles/MLRS. They also produce their own missiles and MLRS in Taiwan. For example, the Thunderbolt-2000 RT/LT-2000 MLRS with a firing range of 100 km. To destroy these long-range systems, I think Beijing will use cruise or even ballistic missiles with the help of satellite reconnaissance.

In mid-December, the United States intends to deliver M1A2T tanks to Taiwan. What do you think about this and what is Beijing's reaction?

I once observed a captured M1A2 tank in Moscow. It turned out that this tank has obvious shortcomings. First, it is too heavy. The weight of 70 tons cannot be adapted to the terrain of Taiwan. Taiwan has a lot of forests and rivers. It is very difficult for an American tank to move around these places. Second, this tank does not have an automatic loader, and the rate of fire is very low. As usual, Beijing protested over the sale of weapons to the United States. But it is still important to note that the M1A2 tank is much better than the M60 tank currently used by Taiwan. Undoubtedly, the PLA is facing a stronger enemy. I think the PLA has already begun to study how to deal with the M1A2 tank.

Economy
The Musk-Led Manufacturing Revolution Nobody Is Talking About
[ZeroHedge] When most analysts discuss Tesla, they focus on new vehicles or the electric vehicle company’s advancements in autonomy. Yet, according to Launch i/o CEO Jeff Lutz, one of the most significant—and under-discussed—developments at Tesla is happening not in its design studios or on the road, but in its factories. Lutz, a former executive at Google and Motorola, argues that Tesla’s true innovation isn’t just the electric vehicles or robots it’s building, but how those products are being made. The company’s first-principles approach to manufacturing is a radical departure from the industry norm, focusing not just on cheap labor or existing models, but on rethinking the entire production process.

Tesla is creating factories that are the product—designing, testing, and perfecting every element just as they do with their cars. This focus on manufacturing efficiency, Lutz believes, will lead to a dramatic reduction in production costs, potentially bringing them closer to zero. And this shift in how products are built—rather than merely assembled—could set a new standard for the entire manufacturing world.

Europe
Taqiyya: the West should know better
[Giulio Meotti, Arutz 7] Anyone who went to a European Christmas market in the 1990s and early 2000s would never have thought that their life could be in danger. Those days are gone.

In October we discovered that the killer who murdered the children in Southport, England, was not a slightly crazy Rwandan Christian refugee, as the English government and all the mainstream media had assured us, but a terrorist with an Al Qaeda manual in his house and chemical material to make a bomb.
That was the work of Axel Rudakubana —more fully Axel Muganwa Rudakubana — the Wales-born, Moslem son of Christian immigrants from Rwanda who fell prey to previously undiagnosed Sudden Jihad Syndrome and attacked a girls’ Taylor Swift dance party in Southport with a knife …
For four months they kept the truth hidden. Why?

And who remembers the "Christian kamikaze", Emad Al Swealmeen, the name of the Liverpool attacker? "Enzo Almeni," as his friends called him, was an asylum seeker with a Syrian father and Iraqi mother who had changed his name to sound "more Western" and had faked a conversion to Christianity to hide his identity and motives. He wanted to attack the cathedral.
Instead, the Mother of Satan (TATP) and ball bearing bomb that he’d worked on for seven months went off while he was locked in a taxi outside a Liverpool maternity hospital, the quick-witted cab driver having jumped out when he realized the thing was about to kaboom.
Now we have the Saudi doctor who killed 5 people at a Christmas market in the city of Magdeburg, central Germany.

There is now discussion about the identity of the attacker, a Saudi doctor who claimed to have abandoned Islam, Taleb Al Abdulmohsen. And so the morning after the massacre we woke up to a sea of ​​​​idiocies based on his statements that he is a "former Muslim". Why an attack on a Christmas market in Magdeburg against Christians?

The dear doctor was pro-Hamas. Many former Muslims who knew him assure us that he never gave up Islam and that he cheated the West to be given asylum.

Did he practice taqiya, which is an Islamic practice that allows believers to deceive the enemy, pretend to be something else, in order to carry out Jihad?

The Saudis had warned the Germans that Taleb was dangerous.

A few months ago in Annecy, France, a man from Syria terrorized a park by stabbing several children. An asylum seeker who was first accepted as such in Sweden ten years ago pretending to be an atheist, Christian or homosexual to obtain asylum is a common phenomenon. The attacker in Annecy with the knife claimed to be Christian and was wearing a cross. The Syrian was in fact a former member of Bashar al-Assad's army who then joined ISIS before seeking and obtaining political asylum in Europe.
He went by Abdelmasih Hanoun — "Abdelmasih" means "Slave of Christ” — and had lived for a decade in Sweden with official refugee status and a Swedish wife, but left when his citizenship application was denied and his wife divorced him. France denied his asylum application days before the attack because he was already approved in Sweden. He was subsequently identified as Selwan Majd, a Moslem refugee from Hasakah, Syria.
Everyone knew that no Christian could blow himself up inside a cathedral, just as no Christian would stab children at random in a dance class and no ex-Muslim would attack a Christmas market in Magdeburg.

So my greatest fear is that taqiya has made incredible and chilling progress in the West.

In August it came out that one of the terrorists who wanted to carry out a massacre at the Taylor Swift concert in Vienna worked for a company that provides services at concerts.

In England they have just arrested a police officer for supporting Hamas.
In the Netherlands, police officers are no longer required to enforce laws protecting Jews, or to provide them equal treatment. So some stand by when Jews or their property are attacked; some join in.
Mickaël Harpon, the perpetrator of the massacre at the Paris Prefecture that cost the lives of four police officers, was a police officer in charge of anti-terrorism in one of the most protected places in France. The computer 007 was was hired by a department whose priorities included the fight against "terrorism, particularly radical Islamism." Harpon had secretly converted to Islam.
Joined the police in 2003, converted to Islam in 2008, upset colleagues by defending the Al Qaeda Charlie Hebdo massacre in 2015. He and his wife exchanged almost three dozen Islamist text messages shortly before he ran amok with two knives. The wife was released without charge after questioning in the gallant French way.
Jean-Baptiste Salvaing, deputy commander of the judicial police, and his partner Jessica Schneider, a secretary at a police station, were killed in their home in Magnanville by an Islamist. Some time later, police investigating a woman for suspected links to ISIS made a shocking discovery: the woman had a USB that contained the personal details of thousands of French police officers.

Like the sensational news that the bodyguard assigned to Geert Wilders had been completely replaced after a police officer of Muslim origin, Faris, had passed sensitive information on the Dutch politician to gangs.

Remember how US Army Major Nidal Hasan, shouting "Allahu Akbar," killed 13 colleagues at the Fort Hood base in Texas? Who suspected him?
Numerous people reported his suspicious utterances. The chain of command somehow managed to be shocked when he tried to kill everyone.
The loss of border control is being followed by the loss of internal control. But worse still is the loss of control over one’s own identity. One thing is clear: parallel societies are growing in Europe. The authorities and the public have no idea.

The sooner we come to terms with our false conscience and reassuring lies, the sooner we will know how to defend ourselves. Alternatively, we can only say a prayer for the dead, dead because of the recklessness of a Western political and cultural class that every year doubles the stakes in a crazy experiment that can only end in a suicide.

Syria-Lebanon-Iran
On the Syrian military's attack on HTS militants
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[ColonelCassad] In Tartus, they chopped up a pack of HTS militants.

HTS militants claim that former soldiers of Assad's army attacked.

It seems that more militants were killed in this skirmish than during the defense of Damascus and Homs.

There is no faith at all in a long-term pro-Assad underground. There will certainly be some attacks, but it is unlikely to last much longer than the resistance in the Panjshir Gorge in Afghanistan after the fall of the Ashraf Ghani regime.

Or the resistance of troops loyal to Gaddafi after the assassination of Gaddafi himself. But in the long term, after the bloody mess awaiting Syria, those of Assad's military who survive until then will be able to return to the "new Syria" in a new role. As happened with the Gaddafi supporters in Libya.

Syria itself, as expected, continues to bubble with internal contradictions, which the Turks are trying to keep under control through the hands of the HTS and the SNA.
