Deep State Activist Harasses Secretary of Homeland Security
I thought it suspect when I heard a pack of libtard activists hunted down the secretary of Homeland Security at a Mexican restaurant. You would have to be a stalker to pull this stunt off. Come to find out, that’s exactly what happened. A Deep Stater at the Justice Department was a participant of this atrocious act. Here is an excerpt from the Daily Caller:
One of the activists who chased Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen out of a Mexican restaurant Tuesday night over the Trump administration’s immigration policies is an employee of the Department of Justice, The Daily Caller News Foundation has confirmed.
Members of the Washington, D.C., chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America crashed Nielsen’s meal with a demonstration full of chants and other outbursts.
One of those participants, Allison Hrabar, actually works for the Trump administration — as a paralegal in the DOJ.
We have a serious problem in Washington D.C. when employees of the federal government are stalking and harassing people. Allison Hrabar should be fired for this type of behavior. We need to purge our government of Deep State activist.

Obama's Deep State Still Trafficking Illegal Aliens
One of the many outrages the Obama administration committed is a program that trafficked illegal aliens around the country. Basically, federal agents became government funded coyotes. Laws didn’t matter. The ends justifies the means and to Democrats that was changing the electorate by aiding and abetting a third world invasion.
Americans thought the rule of law would be reinstated with the Trump administration; but apparently, we were wrong. Here is an excerpt from Judicial Watch:
It appears that the Trump administration has chosen to ignore the concerns of rank-and-file federal agents, instead opting to quietly extend the controversial Obama-era policy that relocates illegal immigrants to unsuspecting communities nationwide. It is known as “Catch and Release” and frustrated DHS sources tell Judicial Watch the Trump administration is essentially facilitating the ongoing commission of a federal immigration crime despite its tough border security rhetoric. In a recent newspaper article Border Patrol agents in Texas say they’ve been ordered to release illegal immigrants caught entering through Mexico because there is no bed space at detention facilities. This has provoked a surge in illegal crossings, Border Patrol officials say, because there is no punishment to deter the lawbreakers.
Why is this happening? The reason being, Obama’s deep state is still running the show:
In the same news story, the head of the ICE officers’ union (Chris Crane) and the National Border Patrol Council (Brandon Judd) said detrimental old policies remain in place because Obama managers are still running their agencies. Crane, a veteran ICE agent, refers to the Obama holdovers as “incompetent, corrupt and anti-enforcement.” Judd said word is getting back to Mexico and Central America that illegal border crossers will be released if caught, resulting in a huge increase in crossings. In a period of a few months, border crossings skyrocketed from 11,100 in a single month to 26,000, according to figures provided in the news story. Immigrants from Asia are also entering the U.S. through Mexico, federal officials say. In San Diego, California agents apprehended dozens of illegal aliens from Asian countries in the last few months, including more than 60 from India.
President Trump needs to place an enema up the federal government’s ass and purge this country of Obama’s turds.

DHS Considers Arresting Sanctuary City "Public Servants"
Sanctuary cities and the politicians who run them have to be dealt with and dealt with harshly. These people do not value citizenship, the rule of law or national security. How is it that these so-called public servants refuse to recognize the simple fact that mass migrations of third-worlders are a threat to our country. It is simply astonishing.
The Department of Homeland Security is trying to figure a way to force these liberal morons into compliance with our immigration laws. The only way to do that is to throw these scoundrels in jail. Here is an excerpt from the Washington Times:
Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen confirmed Tuesday that her department has asked federal prosecutors to see if they can lodge criminal charges against sanctuary cities that refuse to cooperate with federal deportation efforts.
“The Department of Justice is reviewing what avenues may be available,” Ms. Nielsen told the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Her confirmation came after California’s new sanctuary law went into effect Jan. 1, severely restricting cooperation the state or any of its localities could offer.
We also need to take away their congressional delegations and Electoral College votes. If need be, we should declare these areas in a state of rebellion and turn these municipalities into military districts. These progressives have no right to balkanize this country and deny us and future generations of their birthright.

Homeland Security Grants Citizenship to Persons of "Special Interest"
Hats off, once again, to the Department of Homeland
Security where security is merely a suggestion.
What is the latest outrage? Read the
following;
WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. government has mistakenly
granted citizenship to at least 858 immigrants from countries of concern to
national security or with high rates of immigration fraud who had pending
deportation orders, according to an internal Homeland Security audit released
Monday.
The Homeland
Security Department's inspector general found that the immigrants used
different names or birthdates to apply for citizenship with U.S. Citizenship
and Immigration Services and such discrepancies weren't caught because their
fingerprints were missing from government databases.
I bet the Obama administration made sure these “special
interest” individuals pledged allegiance to the Democratic Party before unleashing
them onto the American people.

Omar Mateen's Employer Hired by DHS to Traffic Illegal Aliens
The Islamic murderer who went on a killing spree at a gay night club in Orlando, Florida was hired by a company contracted as a coyote for the federal government. That’s right! Omar Mateen is an employee of G4S, a security company paid by Homeland Security to traffic illegal aliens throughout the United States. Here is an excerpt from Judicial Watch.
A
security company contracted by the U.S. government is driving the OTMs from the
Border Patrol’s Tucson Sector where they were in custody to Phoenix, sources
said. The firm is called G4S and claims to be the world’s leading
security solutions group with operations in more than 100 countries and 610,000
employees. G4S has more than 50,000 employees in the U.S. and its domestic
headquarters is in Jupiter, Florida. Judicial Watch is filing a number of public
records requests to get more information involving the arrangement between G4S
and the government, specifically the transport of illegal immigrants from the
Mexican border to other parts of the country. The photo accompanying this story
shows the uniformed G4S guard that transported the OTMs this week from Tucson
to Phoenix.
Outraged Border Patrol agents and supervisors on the front lines
say illegal immigrants are being released in droves because there’s no room to
keep them in detention. “They’re telling us to put them on a bus and let them
go,” said one law enforcement official in Arizona. “Just move those bodies
across the country.” Officially, DHS denies this is occurring and in fact
earlier this year U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner R. Gil
Kerlikowske blasted Border Patrol union officials for denouncing this dangerous
catch-and-release policy. Kerlikowske’s scolding came in response to the congressional testimony of
Bandon Judd, chief of the National Border Patrol Council, the labor union that
represents line agents. Judd told lawmakers on the House Judiciary Committee
that illegal immigrants without serious criminal convictions can be released
immediately and disappear into the shadows. Kerlikowske shot back, telling a
separate congressional committee: “I would not stand by if the Border Patrol
was — releasing people without going through all of the formalities.”
Nothing
to see here! Please disperse. Nothing to see here. Please disperse.

Obama's Islamically Correct Homeland Security
Barack Obama and his progressive ideologues have politicized every agency under the federal umbrella. Nothing is sacred, not even Homeland Security. A former agent can no longer remain silent. The Hill published an article detailing this administrations subterfuge. This is a disturbing report. Here is an excerpt:
Most
Americans were unaware of the enormous damage to morale at the Department of
Homeland Security, where I worked, his condemnation caused. His words
infuriated many of us because we knew his administration had been engaged in a
bureaucratic effort to destroy the raw material—the actual intelligence we had
collected for years, and erase those dots. The dots constitute the intelligence
needed to keep Americans safe, and the Obama administration was ordering they
be wiped away.
After leaving my 15 year career at DHS, I can no
longer be silent about the dangerous state of America’s counter-terror
strategy, our leaders’ willingness to compromise the security of citizens for
the ideological rigidity of political correctness—and, consequently, our
vulnerability to devastating, mass-casualty attack.
Time after time, this so-called president has sided
with the Islamist by hiding their schemes, or by making excuses for their
crimes. There is something seriously
wrong with this man. He and his fellow
travelers are the rot from within. It
will take decades until we know the extent of their treachery.

Homeland Security Changes Freedom of Religion to Worship
Liberals aren’t content changing the meaning of
words to suit their agenda, or distorting the original intent of elastic
clauses in the Constitution as a means to expand the purview of the federal
government. Now they’re rewriting the
First Amendment in an insidious attempt to redefine religious freedom. The Daily Signal reported the following:
A Republican senator from Oklahoma pressed Department of
Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson at a hearing Wednesday about why the
U.S. is “misrepresenting” Americans’ First Amendment right to freedom of
religion to immigrants who are applying to become U.S. citizens.
“We
in the United States actually have freedom of religion, not freedom of
worship,” Sen. James Lankford, R-Okla., told Johnson yesterday during a
Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs hearing.
Lankford
was referring to the department’s decision to include “freedom of worship”
instead of “freedom of religion” as a basic American right listed in the civics
test that all immigrants must take to become a naturalized U.S. citizen.
This has been around for 10 years? This demonstrates how deeply embedded statist
are in these bureaucracies.

Rep. Robert Pittenger Funds Obama's Illegal Alien Amnesty
Just as I suspected, Rep. Robert Pittenger (R-NC)
joined 74 other Judas’ in passing the Democratic Party’s DHS bill. This bill funds Obama’s unconstitutional
executive amnesty, and by extension allows illegals to raid the U.S. Treasury
with the Earned Income Tax Credit.
Go govern, Robert Pittenger. You’re doing a bang up job on representing the

Nancy Pelosi's Dry Hanky for American Citizens
Where are Democrats priorities? It’s definitely not our security, or the
sanctity of U.S. citizenship. Their
concerns have to do with millions of illegal aliens who have the same ideology
as they. Both have no regard for the U.S.
Constitution, rule of law, or the general welfare of the American people.
The Department of Homeland Security will face a
partial shutdown because Republicans refuse to fund President Obama’s
unconstitutional amnesty program. You’d
think this would be lauded from every corner of the United States. You’d be wrong. The media has, once again, portrayed Republicans
as the ones compromising our national security.
Shocker, I know.
Now, Nancy Pelosi is crying over potential lost
wages for federal government workers.
“I don’t know about you, but I think almost everybody I know cannot
live without having a paycheck on time–members of Congress, even. And yet
they’re (Republicans) asking the Department of Homeland Security people to do
that.”
Funny, how she’s so concerned for federal government workers who will
end up getting a paid vacation at taxpayers’ expense. Who in
the hell does she think she’s kidding?
I don’t see Nancy Pelosi crying over lost wages because the job market
is flooded with illegal aliens; nor will she shed a tear when the average
American has to compete with illegal aliens in the work place, schools and social
services. Her hanky is pretty dry when
it comes to the general welfare of an American citizen.
I guess members of Congress can have that attitude when the majority of
them are millionaires. By the way, Nancy
Pelosi is the 14th richest amongst her fellow lawmakers.

Homeland Security Advisor: America is an "Islamic Country"
And as we watch the
Islamic horror show in the Middle East, we must remind ourselves that we have
our own problems here in the U.S. courtesy of the Obama administration. Homeland Security has been infiltrated with
Islamists. Mohamad Elibiary, one of
Obama’s advisors, tweeted the above nonsense.
Thankfully, we have one
Muslim who has rejected this absurdity.
The Blaze reported:
A source close to Elibiary told the IPT,
however, that the Homeland Security adviser meant to say that he feels there is
nothing in the U.S. Constitution and the American system that runs contrary to
Islam.
Zuhdi Jasser,
president of the American Islamic
Forum for Democracy, rejected the theory.
"His entire
attempt to repeatedly say that 'American is Islamic' is pure deception in the
context of an Islamist ideologue like him who has not only never critiqued
Islamism but rather continuously advocates for it," Jasser said. "In
fact it is not. American Islamists like Elibiary have consistently rejected
debate with other anti-Islamist Muslims about the threat of Islamism and the
way to separate Islam from Islamism.
"Why? If
they lose that debate, his entire raison d'être inside the U.S. government
ceases to exist."
Elibiary also
compared criticism of Islamism, or political Islam, with "segregation era
standards," and invoked the memory of the "separate &
unequal doctrine" that marked that era.
Elibiary's
defense of Islamism ignores how Islamist luminaries such as Sayyid Qutb – whom
he previously
praised – advocated
forcing non-Muslims to enjoy an inferior legal status under the "protection" of the
Islamic state.
Our government has been
infiltrated at the highest levels.

Homeland Security Caught Smuggling Illegal Aliens into America
I have said on many occasions
that agents in the Obama administration have contempt for Americans and the
idea of citizenship. These people are
deeply embedded and are actively working to subvert our immigration laws. Here is a story in the Washington Times
reaffirming those suspicions:
A federal judge in Texas
late last week accused the Obama
administration of aiding drug cartels, saying that instead of
enforcing immigration laws, agents knowingly helped smuggle an illegal immigrant
girl into the U.S. to live with her mother, also an illegal immigrant, in
Virginia.
In a 10-page order,
Judge Andrew S. Hanen said
the case was the fourth such case he’s seen over the last month, and in each
instance Customs and Border Protection agents have helped to locate and
deliver the children to their illegal immigrant parents
The judge said in each
case, the taxpayers footed the bill for flights — including flights to multiple
locations in different parts of the U.S. that it took to find one of the
children’s parents.
“The DHS is rewarding
criminal conduct instead of enforcing the current laws. More troubling, the DHS
is encouraging parents to seriously jeopardize the safety of their children,”
the judge said, adding that some of the children have been made to swim the Rio
Grande River or traverse remote areas as part of the smuggling.
And there is nothing we
can do about it.

The Washington D.C. Menace
The assault on liberty, property, prosperity and
conscience from a centralized government is a very real threat. The premise of a limited government as
defined in our Constitution has been trash canned. The States have been turned into vassalages
and citizenship is mocked and spurned.
Washington D.C. has become a menace. Unelected bureaucrats are running roughshod
over our rights, while federal judges affirm their power grab. All three branches of government have
colluded to enslave the American people.
The next step is President Obama exercising dictatorial powers by
issuing executive orders. We have progressive
politicians demanding he do so, especially when it comes to granting amnesty to
illegal aliens.
But the president has found other ways to circumvent
the legislative process. He is
appointing activist in the federal bureaucracies to spearhead his progressive
agenda. One such example is his stacking
Homeland Security with open borders attorneys that will openly work against
immigration laws. What we have is a rot
from within. And this is only one example.
There is hope.
The American people are beginning to wake up. A recent Gallop Poll has shown that 72% of those
participating believe the federal government is a threat. Once we recognize the problem, we can begin
to address it. And one of the ways to
defang this monster is to abolish their army of bureaucrats. We must repeal the law that unleashed this
unholy authoritarian hell. We must
repeal the Administrative Procedures Act of 1946.

Illegal Alien Horde Demand Asylum from Drug Cartels
Last week, Homeland Security released a group of
illegal aliens on the specious claim their lives are under threat by drug
cartels. These young adults once resided
in the United States. Their parents smuggled
them into this country when they were children.
As adults, they became discouraged because States refused to grant them the
rights and privileges of a citizen; so they self-deported. Once Obama unconstitutionally issued a
partial amnesty, they demanded to be allowed back in.
Now we are witnessing a disturbing trend. Illegals are demanding asylum. Fox News reported the following:
SAN
DIEGO -
A loophole is allowing hundreds of immigrants across the Mexico
border in to the United States.
Immigrants are being taught to use "key words
and
phrases" to be allowed to enter and stay in the country.
Immigrants are being taught to use "key words
Just this past Monday, Border Patrol agents say about 200 people
came through the Otay Crossing claiming a quote: "credible fear" of
the drug cartels.
So many were doing this that they had to close down the
processing center and move the overflow by vans
to
another station.
"They are being told if they come across the border, when
they come up to the border and they say certain words, they will be allowed
into the country," said a person who did not want to be identified on
camera. "We are being overwhelmed."
Pete Nunez, former U.S. Attorney and immigration expert says,
"This will swamp the system."
"To make our system even more ridiculous than it has been in the past," he adds. "There are no detention facilities for families, so the family would have to be split up. We don't want to split families up, so we end up releasing people out into the community on bond, on bail."
Nunez says, "It's a huge loophole."
"There has to be a policy change, something implemented, an emergency implementation that will stop this, or otherwise we will have thousands coming in."
Immigrants are telling the Port Enforcement Team -- or P.E.T. -- that the cartels are ripping apart their state.

Homeland Security Grants Asylum to Illegal Aliens
If you want proof that citizenship means nothing in
the United States, all you have to do is look at the latest action by the
DHS. Breitbart reported the following
outrage:
“The Homeland Security Department tentatively approved
asylum requests for seven Mexican immigrants, including some who were living in
the United States illegally but left and attempted to re-enter as part of a
protest against U.S. deportation policies,” the Associated Press’ Alicia
Caldwell reported on Tuesday. “The
preliminary approval is highly unusual because it is rare for the U.S.
government to grant asylum to Mexican citizens.”
Caldwell noted that the
“immigrants were trying to call attention to hundreds of thousands who have
been deported during President Barack Obama's administration. They had cited a
credible fear of persecution should they return to Mexico.”
They were, according to a late July piece from the Huffington Post, part of a
protest the pro-amnesty National Immigrant Youth Alliance (NIYA) organized. “In
an audacious move even from a group known for pushing boundaries, the National
Immigrant Youth Alliance organized the crossing at the Arizona border town of
Nogales as a protest against President Barack Obama’s record-setting pace of
deportations,” the Huffington Post’s Roque Planas wrote on July 23.
The fall of all great countries come when their citizens become apathetic, parasitic, and slovenly. The Byzantine and Roman Empires fell because
they refused to control their borders.
Now, they’re just a footnote in history.
If we keep this up, the United States will have the same fate.

What Constitutes Treason?
ARTICLE III, SECTION 3
Treason against the United States shall consist only
in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid
and comfort. No person shall be
convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt
act, or on confession in open court.
A couple of weeks ago, a professor of journalism called for the suppression of the National Rifle Association,
because he believes their rhetoric was treason, and anyone who supports this organization is deserving of a fire
squad. This kind of sentiment is
mainstream leftism. Liberals look upon
liberty loving citizens as the true enemy and they must stop us at all cost,
even if it takes Abrams tanks and Hellfire missiles.
What constitutes treason? According to the left, it is opposition to an
all encompassing federal government.
Progressives, like the professor, applaud the dissolution of our
founding principles. They applaud the
suppression of states’ rights and the inability to nullify unjust federal laws. In their eyes, the collective reigns supreme,
and we will adhere to their dictates.As we’ve come to witness, progressives have taken over the federal bureaucracies. They have the same attitude as the professor. The IRS has targeted tea partiers and constitutionalist. They muzzled these citizens through threats and intimidation, and in some cases confiscated property and shut down businesses. Some were audited because they supported Mitt Romney. This kind of harassment is not exclusive to the IRS, the EPA and other agencies have also violated the rights of those they deem political enemies.
What is disturbing is these agencies are arming
themselves with the very weapons the progressives are trying to ban from the
general public. IRS agents are training
with AR-15 rifles. What does a revenue
agency need with so-called assault weapons?
And to further emphasize that they see tea partiers as the enemy, Homeland
Security funded training exercises targeting patriots. Here is an excerpt from the Boston Globe:
The scenario had been carefully planned: A terrorist group prepared to hurt vast numbers of people around Boston would leave backpacks filled with explosives at Faneuil Hall, the Seaport District, and in other towns, spreading waves of panic and fear. Detectives would have to catch the culprits.
Months of painstaking planning had gone into the exercise, dubbed “Operation Urban Shield,” meant to train dozens of detectives in the Greater Boston area to work together to thwart a terrorist threat. The hypothetical terrorist group was even given a name: Free America Citizens, a home-grown cadre of militiamen whose logo would be a metal skull wearing an Uncle Sam hat and a furious expression, according to a copy of the plans obtained by the Boston Globe.
But two months before the training exercise was to take place, the city was hit with a real terrorist attack executed in a frighteningly similar fashion. The chaos of the Boston Marathon bombings disrupted plans for the exercise, initially scheduled for this weekend, forcing police to postpone. Now officials must retool aspects of the training.
This would have
been the third year for Urban Shield, a 24-hour federally funded training
exercise meant to test the response of police and other public safety personnel
in a large-scale emergency, such as a toxic spill or a natural disaster.
‘The main goal
of this was to arrest as many of the people as possible and absolutely identify
where the [supposed] cache of bombs was being kept.’
Last fall, a
slew of agencies including Boston police and other police departments, the
Coast Guard, and the MBTA joined forces to confront a simulated armed bank
robbery in which the robbers were trying to escape with hostages.
For this year’s
training, the agencies wanted to test the investigative skills of their
detectives, as well as their ability to work with detectives in other cities,
and share intelligence, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity
because details of the planned exercise were confidential.
The training,
funded by a $200,000 Homeland Security grant, will probably be rescheduled to
early next year, said Transit Police Chief Paul MacMillan, whose agency was
slated to participate.
It is quite clear that the federal government is
unaccountable and out of control. And
most of this tyranny comes from the bureaucracies. The Constitution
specifically states that only Congress has the authority to introduce
laws. The progressives have circumvented
this provision by establishing regulatory agencies. These agencies pass mandates that have the
force of law. Clearly, this is a violation
of our Constitution.
Many like to cite the Federalist when it comes to
matters of the Constitution. I like to
cite the Anti-Federalist. One of my
favorites is Brutus. He denied the ability of prophesy, but in his refutations he most certainly can be
considered an oracle. Here is an excerpt
from essay #15:
I have, in the course of my observation on this constitution, affirmed and
endeavored to shew, that it was calculated to abolish entirely the state
governments, and to melt down the states into one entire government, for every
purpose as well internal and local, as external and national. In this opinion
the opposers of the system have generally agreed — and this has been uniformly
denied by its advocates in public. Some individuals, indeed, among them, will confess,
that it has this tendency, and scruple not to say, it is what they wish; and I
will venture to predict, without the spirit of prophecy, that if it is adopted
without amendments, or some such precautions as will ensure amendments
immediately after its adoption, that the same gentlemen who have employed their
talents and abilities with such success to influence the public mind to adopt
this plan, will employ the same to persuade the people, that it will be for
their good to abolish the state governments as useless and burdensome.
Perhaps nothing could have been better conceived to facilitate the abolition of the state governments than the constitution of the judicial. They will be able to extend the limits of the general government gradually, and by insensible degrees, and to accomodate themselves to the temper of the people. Their decisions on the meaning of the constitution will commonly take place in cases which arise between individuals, with which the public will not be generally acquainted; one adjudication will form a precedent to the next, and this to a following one. These cases will immediately affect individuals only; so that a series of determinations will probably take place before even the people will be informed of them. In the mean time all the art and address of those who wish for the change will be employed to make converts to their opinion. The people will be told, that their state officers, and state legislatures are a burden and expence without affording any solid advantage, for that all the laws passed by them, might be equally well made by the general legislature. If to those who will be interested in the change, be added, those who will be under their influence, and such who will submit to almost any change of government, which they can be persuaded to believe will ease them of taxes, it is easy to see, the party who will favor the abolition of the state governments would be far from being inconsiderable. — In this situation, the general legislature, might pass one law after another, extending the general and abridging the state jurisdictions, and to sanction their proceedings would have a course of decisions of the judicial to whom the constitution has committed the power of explaining the constitution. — If the states remonstrated, the constitutional mode of deciding upon the validity of the law, is with the supreme court, and neither people, nor state legislatures, nor the general legislature can remove them or reverse their decrees.
Had the construction of the constitution been left with the legislature, they would have explained it at their peril; if they exceed their powers, or sought to find, in the spirit of the constitution, more than was expressed in the letter, the people from whom they derived their power could remove them, and do themselves right; and indeed I can see no other remedy that the people can have against their rulers for encroachments of this nature. A constitution is a compact of a people with their rulers; if the rulers break the compact, the people have a right and ought to remove them and do themselves justice; but in order to enable them to do this with the greater facility, those whom the people chuse at stated periods, should have the power in the last resort to determine the sense of the compact; if they determine contrary to the understanding of the people, an appeal will lie to the people at the period when the rulers are to be elected, and they will have it in their power to remedy the evil; but when this power is lodged in the hands of men independent of the people, and of their representatives, and who are not, constitutionally, accountable for their opinions, no way is left to controul them but with a high hand and an outstretched arm.
