Border Patrol opens gate locked by Texas National Guard to allow illegal immigrants to enter
[FoxNews] Texas has surged law enforcement to the border to try and stop illegal immigration.

Border Patrol agents on Wednesday opened a gate that had previously been locked by members of the Texas National Guard, in order to allow a number of illegal immigrants deeper into the United States.

Fox News witnessed members of the guard close and lock the gate, which is situated on private property and had previously been open, to deny entry to migrants who had crossed illegally and were expecting to be allowed into the U.S.

The illegal immigrants were then seen standing outside the gate waiting to be allowed in, with the Texas National Guard watching on.

A short time later, Border Patrol agents appeared with a key and opened the door, allowing the migrants to get through and be processed into the U.S. immigration system.

The incident demonstrates the stark contrast in approach between Texas authorities and Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

Under Gov. Greg Abbott, Texas has surged law enforcement to the border under Operation Lone Star. That included a focus on stopping migrants from entering the U.S. with Texas now returning recently-entered illegal immigrants to the border, and its own border wall construction under way.

Border Patrol agents, meanwhile, have been increasingly made to focus on processing migrants into the interior, with migrants frequently not seeking to escape Border Patrol -- instead seeking them out so they can be processed and quickly released into the U.S.

While some are returned under the still-ongoing Title 42 public health order, the majority of migrants are instead released into the U.S. for their immigration hearings, which can take years. Of the 199,976 encounters in July, only 74,5763 resulted in a Title 42 expulsions.

Some agents have expressed their anger at being taken off the line and instead being forced to process those who have entered the country illegally into the U.S.

"I know the policies of this administration are not particularly popular with U.S. Customs and Border Protection, but that's the reality, and let's see what we can do within that framework," Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas told frustrated agents in January.

Republicans have taken aim at the Biden administration for restoring "catch-and-release" policies, including in ending the Trump-era "Remain in Mexico" policy, which kept migrants in Mexico rather than releasing them into the U.S.

The Biden administration has focused instead on tackling "root causes" of migration like violence, poverty and climate change. It has also pledged to restore legal asylum pathways that it says were abolished during the Trump administration.

Some of the migrants who have successfully entered the U.S. into Texas have been given the chance by Abbott to travel to Washington D.C. and New York City -- the mayors of those cities have protested about the numbers being sent their way and have appealed for federal help while criticizing Abbott. Approximately 10,000 migrants are estimated so far to have been sent to both cities.

Mexican Cartel Smugglers Spray Dangerous Chemicals on Migrants to Trick K9 Officers
[Breitbart] Cartel-connected human smugglers are using increasingly dangerous and possibly deadly tactics to avoid detection by sniffer dogs. Two approaches involve the use of chemicals and foam sealants to hide human smells in vehicle compartments.

In a recent attempt, U.S. Border Patrol agents in South Texas found migrants fully covered in lime and other cleaning products. The tactic failed. Similar attempts have been made at Texas checkpoints near Falfurrias and Sarita, approximately 80 miles north of the U.S.-Mexico Border.

Breitbart Texas spoke with Oscar Medina, a spokesman for the U.S. Border Patrol RGV Sector, who revealed the tactics greatly risk migrant health.

The chemicals have long been used to cover drug smells. But for humans, they can cause severe irritation to the skin and eyes. They can be fatal if ingested, Medina said. Authorities have also found laundry detergent and other cleaning products like Fabuloso in use.

Foam sealants compound the risks of the chemicals covering migrants. Circulation is limited and the chemical smells are unable to vent from migrant compartments as trucks pass through regions with triple-digit temperatures.

#2  Everyone should watch the vid. It's not just about the stuff getting into India. It's more about the way this WOT was lost.


Don't worry about the stuff itself, your own guys are busy as doggies in flea season buying it all back. Worry about the callous waste of taxpayer money, on the absolute idiocy of the ⬠ in repeatedly trusting Pakistani intelligence and letting the bloody ANDSF and Ghani of all things take them for a ride. The convenience with which the USA was robbed by two dispensations of assholes and resources poured into a shithole that cannot, could not ever be helped. And even before that. The prospects of the Soviets kill kill killing every sasquatch in the region and planting their soon to be forgotten flag was such a big fcuking deal for DC. In retrospect was it really worth it, arming and training muzz in South Asia to ... what? Fight the commies? Hell, there are commies running DC!

I think DJT was the first guy who understood all this, plus the value of distancing from muzz, curbing their power and stopping aid to shitholes who've done nothing to help America or anybody. If the military and intelligence bureaucracy wasn't so spiteful of him, so hopelessly encrusted in their 'hoorah' theory and eager to pleasure the Dems; if they could work with the man rather than against, this whole snafu was easily avoided. In fact of the MIC wanted to make money, I'm sure he coulda let them make money, as long as they did their fucking jobs right. Rant over.

Like shove your face into a map and point 'Thar be the enemy, thou dumb fcuk!' But I'll tell you something strange. It not only was met with the usual 'heh Indian Intel is like D4' scorn, I felt that the guys and gals in Virginia almost wanted the campaign to fail. I won't go into details but every once so often we'd get that impression that it was more like a controlled capitulation than something that got away from them.

#11  Honestly the converse never occurred to me till I saw what they were 'achieving' and calling it a victory. Hitting cow pastures with million dollar hardware and accepting reports of 'one hundred Taliban killed!' from Ghani's faggots. Taking 'value intel' from ISI, for raids and strikes, while being used to purge independent tribals, the pakis warning their own guys to get away. Looking for Mullah Omar. Looking for Mullah Omar? Like where the fcuk do you think he's gonna be? Then the 'translators' and ANDSF liaisons sitting in on opords, shit. Translators and cultural liaisons, moslems since 9/11. Just because the cake eaters can't be bothered to learn dari and Urdu. Even then I had the misgivings that maybe they're all sad sacks punching in, doing their bit and punching out, shirkers, blue falconing all the way, just a result of bad recruitment and hubris. But it was when they collectively conspired against the best commander in chief they'd had in decades that I knew. The US was in serious trouble. I wish there was a kind, not so gloom and doom way to say it.

It just angers me.

Did the US learn anything in Afghanistan? Former NATO assistant secretary general says billions was spent building wrong type of military and that D.C. was more interested in getting presidents re-elected than telling the truth, in scathing report
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • John Manza wrote NATO's lessons learned report about Afghanistan last year

  • It remains classified but in a public essay he delivered a damning assessment

  • He said Washington's leaders deserve much of the blame for the chaos

  • They 'were more concerned about protecting the sitting president's chances of reelection than ... telling the truth about the lack of progress in Afghanistan'

  • He delivered his account a year after US troops hurriedly left Kabul

  • The country is now in the hands of the Taliban after 20 years of conflict

#4  ^ comes from Mexico? I did time in Korea in the late 80s. The place was leveled by the war, without any natural resources, very limited farm land, small population, about the size of Kansas and yet today they're a major country by GDP. Mexico on the other hand sports vast natural resources, vast agricultural land, a much larger population and is yet three positions back from South Korea in GDP.

#8  The S-400? When served by highly trained Russian technicians, it ignores Israeli bombers. When served by anyone less trained, it ignores being turned on. Design specs and actual performance are not always the same thing.

AKs, on the other hand, always do exactly what they are supposed to do — shoot fairly well under all circumstances, no matter how badly the user abuses them. Or so I’ve read, not having ever seen one in real life.

And Mexico is a beautiful country full of wonderful people... who sadly have never found politicians capable of running the country properly — which is why Aca Joe claims to live in the expensive part of Malibu instead of any of the prettier parts of the country he claims as his own. It is not we who insist that Mexico is inferior to the U.S., but demonstrated by his own actions.

India-Pakistan
Missing India soldier's body found on glacier after 38 years
[10News] The remains of an Indian army soldier have been found more than 38 years after he went missing on a glacier at the highest point along the heavily militarized contested border between India and Pakistan in Kashmir, officials said Wednesday.

The soldier and 17 other colleagues were occupying a ridge on Siachen Glacier, high in the Karakoram range in disputed Kashmir's Ladakh region, in May 1984 when they were hit by an avalanche, officials said.

The bodies of 13 soldiers were recovered, but five remained missing.

A team of soldiers on Monday found human remains at the glacier with an identity disc saying they belonged to Chandra Shekhar, one of the missing men, the Indian army said.

Shekhar was part of India’s first army unit to occupy the 76-kilometer (47-mile) -long glacier in 1984 amid pitched battles with soldiers from Pakistan, which also controls part of divided Kashmir.

Both nuclear-armed neighbors claim all of the region. The glacier, considered the world’s highest battlefield, was uninhabited before Indian troops moved there.

Since then, the two countries have deployed troops at elevations of up to 6,700 meters (21,982 feet). They have fought intermittent skirmishes on the glacier, but more Indian and Pakistani troops have died from the grueling conditions than from hostile fire.

In 2017, at least 20 Indian soldiers were killed in three avalanches. In 2012, an avalanche in Pakistan-controlled Kashmir killed 140 people, including 129 Pakistani soldiers.

Discussions between India and Pakistan on demilitarizing the glacier have been unsuccessful.

Shekhar’s remains were being flown on Wednesday to his native village in northern Uttarakhand state following a funeral with full military honors, the army said.

Mahmoud Abbas sparks anger after comparing Israeli actions to Holocaust
[MIDDLEEASTEYE.NET] Paleostinian President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas
...aka Abu Mazen, a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial. While no Yasser Arafat, he has his own brand of evil, just a little more lowercase....
has provoked widespread anger following comments in which he compared Israeli actions against Paleostinians to the Holocaust.

During a visit to Berlin on Tuesday, Abbas was asked by a journalist about his thoughts on the 50th anniversary of the 1972 Munich massacre, when Paleostinian gang Black September took hostage and later killed members of the Israeli Olympic team.

In response, Abbas said that Israel had "committed 50 massacres in Paleostinian villages and cities" since 1947, referencing the war that preceded the creation of the State of Israel and the expulsion of more than 700,000 Paleostinians from their lands.

"In Deir Yassin, Tantura, Kafr Qasim and many others, 50 massacres, 50 Holocausts," he said at the joint presser with Chancellor Olaf Scholz.

His comments provoked a backlash, with some accusing him of trivialising the Holocaust, a very sensitive issue in Germany.

Scholz did not respond to the "Holocaust" reference at the presser - however, on Wednesday he tweeted that he was "disgusted" by Abbas' comments.

"For us Germans in particular, any relativisation of the singularity of the Holocaust is intolerable and unacceptable," Scholz tweeted on Wednesday.

A German government spokesperson later said they had on Wednesday summoned the head of the Paleostinian diplomatic mission in Berlin over the remarks.
