In July, according to multiple news reports, Customs and Border Protection recorded more than 210,000 apprehensions—an increase of more than 30,000 from June and the second-highest monthly total ever, based on available data. herit.ag/37wSfux
Additionally, the number of unaccompanied minors picked up by Border Patrol agents in July is expected to exceed 19,000, which would break the administration’s previous record from March of 18,877. This crisis was already historic.
Now it’s time to hit the panic button.
”This administration must be held accountable for its failed border strategy, and Congress must reject amnesty as part of the infrastructure debate currently raging in the House and Senate.“ @ChadFWolf
“As the former head of Customs and Border Protection, I have one message for the Biden administration: end this assault on our border communities, the rule of law, and federal law enforcement now.“ -Mark Morgan
”One cannot look at what’s happening on our southern border and conclude anything other than the Biden administration is attempting to reshape the electorate via illegal immigration.“ @lora_ries
The Biden administration’s embrace of open borders is only eroding trust and confidence in our government, an erosion that is accelerating day by day.
We also *know* that record numbers of illegal aliens are being released into the United States by CBP, and that thousands of them are testing positive for COVID after release.
🧵 @JaneMayerNYer chose to go on MSNBC today and attack not only Heritage’s work to ensure our elections are secure, but to repeat several inaccuracies and outright lies about those efforts.
@JaneMayerNYer You should be skeptical of reporters who don’t get basic facts right.
In this attack, Mayer falsely claims Heritage involvement in state election audits in Arizona and Georgia. She also falsely claims Heritage involvement in election litigation efforts. Neither is true.
Citing Heritage’s Election Fraud Database, Mayer also carefully refrained from mentioning all the cases in Arizona, the 1,300+ proven cases in the database, or our warning that the database is just a sampling of cases, not a comprehensive list. heritage.org/voterfraud
@ChadFWolf The $1.2 trillion bipartisan “infrastructure” deal merely paves the road for Democrats to pass the largest amnesty for illegal aliens in American history. herit.ag/2TNhLIK
Even absent this planned societal transformation, the bill is bad policy, as it is not focused on actual “hard” infrastructure.
We released a new video today, highlighting the effort by radical leftists in Congress and the White House to use the current infrastructure debate to ram through a massive amnesty for millions of illegal aliens. herit.ag/3fkI14Q
The White House has called on Congress to include amnesty in a reconciliation package, and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has said the Senate will not move such a reconciliation package without the bipartisan infrastructure package currently under debate.
The Biden border crisis seems to reach new heights every day.
CBP has recorded more than 173,000 apprehensions for four months in a row, with no signs of a slowdown.
🧵 Freedom of Information Act requests aren’t just for media elites. It’s pretty incredible that an NBC reporter thinks parents shouldn’t use them to get transparency.
Especially to get information about schools pushing poisonous concepts like critical race theory on kids.
NBC’s Brandy Zadrozny attacked Heritage earlier this week on MSNBC for standing up against efforts by school boards to force critical race theory on our kids, and accused parents of making “onerous FOIA requests.”
As if parents don’t deserve to use the same tools she does to get transparency.
The @OversightBoard's decision to uphold the suspension is the wrong one—and one that all Americans, regardless of political affiliation, should be concerned about. 🧵
However, it was entirely appropriate to admonish Facebook's vague, standardless penalty.
Big Tech companies should not be allowed to play by a set of rules that give them undue influence over American society while avoiding any accountability for how they use that influence.
It is time for Congress to act and reform Section 230 in a way that respects the rights of those engaged in private enterprise but also ensures companies take responsibility for the choices they make—especially when it comes to censoring individuals and opinions they don’t like.
