This 2016 article states that they use “Border Patrol apprehensions” as a “barometer of illegal border-crossing attempts.” This article lists several interesting facts about the number of illegal’s entering the United States and those being deported during Obama’s administration. This article appears to set up a successful story line that they will later compare to Donald Trump. Can we use these number and Obama’s “success” to criticize Biden or at the very least Kamala?

Direct quotes:

His stance on immigration has appeared to change more in the past 10 days than it has in the past 10 months.

President Obama's approach to immigration enforcement is really two very different approaches: one for those caught near the border, the other for immigrants found living illegally in the interior. How long an immigrant has been here makes a difference as well. Like others before it, the Obama administration says it doesn't have the resources or the desire to deport millions of immigrants whose only crime was entering the country illegally. So, it has focused its enforcement efforts on particular targets: namely those caught near the border, those who've committed crimes and those who appear to have arrived in 2014 or later.

"The result is sharply different enforcement pictures at the border and within the United States," according to a report from the nonpartisan Migration Policy Institute. "At the border, there is a near zero tolerance system, where unauthorized immigrants are increasingly subject to formal removal and criminal charges. Within the country, there is greater flexibility."

In the last year of the Bush administration, 64 percent of deportations were from the interior of the country. By last year, interior deportations had shrunk to less than 30 percent of the total. While the Obama administration has focused enforcement efforts along the border, not everyone apprehended there is a new, first-time arrival. Some may have longstanding ties and family members elsewhere in the U.S.

The administration stresses that a growing proportion of those who are deported have criminal records: 59 percent last year, up from 31 percent in fiscal year 2008.

Border Patrol apprehensions, which the government sees as a barometer of illegal border-crossing attempts, have been dropping for the past decade and a half. The Border Patrol apprehended 337,117 people nationwide in fiscal year 2015. That's down nearly 30 percent from the previous year and nearly 80 percent below the peak in 2000.

While the influx of border-crossers from Mexico may have slowed or stopped, the U.S. continues to attract a sizable number of immigrants from Central America. Officers patrolling the southwest border of the United States apprehended 172,165 immigrants from countries other than Mexico during the first 10 months of the fiscal year.

  https://www.newsweek.com/exclusive-putin-treated-cancer-april-us-intelligence-report-says-1710357 This article kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. There are a lot of “seems”, “sensing”, “rumor” and suggesting so it’s tough to put a lot of faith in the idea that Putin is nearing the end of his leadership. The statement quoted in this article by a Ukraine Intelligence official is the most reliable source. Even though this idea is interesting and may bring some comfort to Ukraine. The world and the Biden administration cannot plan on a soon “expiration date” of Putin. We should have learned that lesson already. Also who is to say that the next Russian “President” won’t have similar ambitions?  Compared to the weak, frail and cognitively failing Biden, everything I’ve seen makes Putin look like a rock star. I disagree with the authors about the long tables in Russia. This article states that the long table “became a baseline against which to measure the Russian presi...

Democrats stuck their heads in the sand a pretended this didn’t happen, now a full on pardon for Hunter? Maybe some shady stuff did happen overseas that the Biden’s made millions off of. Direct Quotes: Devon Archer told the House Oversight Committee on Monday that his former business partner, Hunter Biden, was selling the “illusion” of access to his father, according to a source familiar with the closed-door interview After the interview concluded, a second source told CNN that Archer did affirm to the committee that Hunter Biden was selling the “illusion” of access to his father, but later clarified that the president’s son was actually selling the illusion of access to Washington, DC, and knowledge of how it worked. Rep. Dan Goldman, a Democrat on the panel who sat through the portion of Archer’s interview where he was question...

I hope none of it has ever leaked in her bag.

  https://time.com/4297996/hillary-clinton-hot-sauce/ I hope none of it has ever leaked in her bag. The Time tries to cover for Hillary Clinton boasting about the health benefits and her collection of hot sauces. If that is true why not say that in the interview? Actually after this comment she was told people are going to think you’re pandering to the black community where she said “is it working”. Direct Quotes: In a radio interview Monday morning, Hillary Clinton was asked to name something she carries with her everywhere she goes. “Hot sauce,” she answered. “Yeah.” The Clinton campaign has confirmed to TIME the type and brand of hot sauce now toted by the Democratic front runner for the presidential nomination: Ninja Squirrel, a Sriracha from the in-house brand of Texas-based Whole Foods Market. “And we continue to carry chili flakes and jalapeños around,” says Clinton campaign spokesperson Nick Merrill. Clinton was speaking to one of New York’s largest hip-hop and R&B stat...
