1/x There is crisis on the southern border of Joe Biden’s creation.

Throughout his campaign, Biden promised illegal aliens benefits, amnesty, and lax enforcement of immigration law.

I’ve got the receipts.
2/x In December 2019, Biden promised health care for illegal aliens.
3/x In January 2020, Biden promised to end illegal alien detention across the board.
4/x In February 2020, Biden said, “Nobody is going to be deported in my first 100 days.”
5/x In March 2020, Biden was asked if illegal aliens arrested by local police be turned over to immigration officials and he said, “No.”
6/x In April 2020, Biden called for a suspension of deportations.
7/x Then in August 2020, Biden said illegal aliens should have access to the same benefits “everybody else has access to.”
8/x And in September 2020, Biden promised amnesty.

We’re seeing a surge of illegal immigration (in just the past month, authorities have arrested and encountered more than 100,000 migrants) because illegal aliens know Biden will not enforce the law.

Yet another example of biased, dishonest “fact-checking.”

Newsweek admits “Individuals who overstay their visas but pay tax in the United States using a Social Security number may be eligible for stimulus payments.”
They also admit 676k visa overstays in a single year.

They ignore that those accumulate over decades, and 60% of the 12m total illegal aliens are visa overstays.
So, they conclude EVERY WORD THAT I SAID IS TRUE (and Dick Durbin’s claims to the contrary are false), but they’re left-wing propagandists, so they still call it “mostly false”!

1/x This is twice in three days that Durbin has called me a liar.

He’s the one who’s lying.

And he knows it.

Dick, on the Senate floor, you refused to take my question. You’ve chosen Twitter as your forum. Ok, respond with FACTS—not just partisan invective.
2/x You claim “no illegal immigrants will get checks.”

Q1: Dick, true or false: 60% of illegal aliens are visa overstays.
 
Q2: True or false: Migrants who come to US legally on a work visa are allowed to have a SSN, yet when they overstay their visa they become illegal aliens.
3/x Q3: Dick, true or false: under the Dem bill, millions of illegal immigrants (w/ SSNs) will receive $1400 checks.

Q4: If that’s not true (you bellowed that it was “a lie!”), why did the nonpartisan Joint Committee on Taxation determine my amendment would save taxpayers $675m?

1/x THREAD

Want to understand why we’re so divided? Why each side seems to live in alternate universes? Take a moment & examine the misinformation here (both deliberate & inadvertent).

FACT 1: Dem spending bill sends $1400 to each adult in US.

FACT 2: Dems voted against...
2/x ...my amendment to prohibit sending those $$ to criminals (murderers, rapists, child molesters) currently IN PRISON.

EVERY Dem voted to send criminals the $$.

FACT 3: I then called up my amendment to prohibit illegal aliens from getting the $1400 checks.
3/x FACT 4: Durbin then screamed “liar!” and insisted no illegal immigrants would get $$ because the bill requires social security numbers.

FACT 5: Lefty “press” outlets, like Daily Beast, dutifully repeated Durbin’s charge. They did ZERO fact checking fo their own, just said...

Thread: Chaos at the impeachment trial.

Dems had agreed to know witnesses, then House Managers changed their mind this morning.

Schumer blindsided. Pandemonium. They’re negotiating now to figure out next steps.
2/x While we’re waiting to figure out what’s next, I thought I’d share some of the Qs in the pile that DIDN’T make the cut to be asked yesterday. (These are all real, from various senators, who will remain anonymous.)
3/x Q1: “Where’s the short, fat guy?”

After I questioned Linda Thomas-Greenfield this morning about her embrace of China in a Confucius Institute speech, some said her praise of the Chinese Communist Party was a one-off.

No it wasn't.

Let’s go to the archives.
In 2006, at the State Department, Thomas-Greenfield said she was not concerned about China's growing power in Africa.

2001-2009.state.gov/r/pa/prs/dpb/2…
On July 24, 2013, Thomas-Greenfield told the Senate, "I do not see us as competing" with China in Africa.

1/x What is sickening is that you are siding with this vicious murderer. Don’t pretend he was a saint. Here are his actual crimes (quoted verbatim from DOJ)—which you ignore:

“Brandon Bernard and his accomplices brutally murdered two youth ministers....”
2/x “...Todd and Stacie Bagley, on a military reservation in 1999. After Todd Bagley agreed to give a ride to several of Bernard’s accomplices, they pointed a gun at him, forced him and Stacie into the trunk of their car, and drove the couple around for hours....”
3/x “...while attempting to steal their money and pawn Stacie’s wedding ring.  While locked in the trunk, the couple spoke with their abductors about God and pleaded for their lives.  The abductors eventually parked on the Fort Hood military reservation....”
