SCOTT MECHKOWSKI: NYC gave the Blueprint to Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston , etc. NYC DAs work tirelessly to assist foreign born people. Judges across the city know the immigration implications and work hard for the criminal not for the victims.

"NYC's sanctuary DAs ordered prosecutors to downgrade charges to keep illegal immigrants in US, House GOP report finds," Josh Christenson and Thomas English, NY Post, October 26, 2026.

WASHINGTON — New York City’s elected Democratic district attorneys are bending over backwards to keep illegal immigrants in the US, instructing prosecutors to downgrade charges to those considered “a non-deportable offense,” according to a stunning House Judiciary Committee report shared with The Post.

The GOP-led panel found that Bronx DA Darcel Clark trains her subordinates “to conceal facts from the record of conviction” and “pursue alternative charges” that would keep non-citizens free to roam in America.

Not even cases involving child sex crimes are off-limits — with Clark’s office asking assistant DAs in a 2019 guide to “immigration-conscious plea bargaining” to “[o]ffer something that does not have the child’s age as an element of the crime.”

SCOTT MECHKOWSKI on DACA PROGRAM: Congress never passed it. The courts have said it doesn’t fit the immigration laws on the books. The Supreme Court never ruled that it was legal. Democrats have spent years defending it like it’s settled law instead of an executive workaround they liked.

The Supreme Court never ruled that it was legal. Democrats have spent years defending it like it’s settled law instead of an executive workaround they liked.
One of the people who got that status is Miguel Alonso.  
Maldonado Soriano. He came illegally in 1999, got DACA under Obama, kept it under Biden, and lost it this year. Then he took a sledgehammer to the Iwo Jima monument. --Scott Mechkowski  
Obama used to say he wasn’t a king and that he couldn’t just change immigration law by himself. Then he did it anyway. In 2012 his DHS put out a memo and created DACA, handing work permits and protection from deportation to hundreds of thousands of people who entered the country illegally. Congress never passed it. The courts have said it doesn’t fit the immigration laws on the books. The Supreme Court never ruled that it was legal. Democrats have spent years defending it like it’s settled law instead of an executive workaround they liked.
One of the people who got that status is Miguel Alonso. Maldonado Soriano. He came illegally in 1999, got DACA under Obama, kept it under Biden, and lost it this year. Then he took a sledgehammer to the Iwo Jima monument. They called people like him Dreamers and treated the program like a moral good. He used his time here to smash a memorial to the Marines who raised the flag at Iwo Jima.

Obama said he couldn’t act like a king, then did, and Democrats have had no problem with any of it. No Marchs, No protests , not a peep, That’s the record, end #DACA now …

JOHN GUANDOLO: CAIR Is HAMAS

"CAIR Is HAMAS," John Guandolo.

Ilhan Omar has been located, she flew to Seattle to be with CAIR. The Council on American-Islamic Relations which ties to the Muslim Brotherhood “It seems that news reports that she was inside her house at the time of the raid were incorrect. She was in Seattle hanging out with CAIR — That's right, in the middle of a federal investigation for multiple allegations, including immigration fraud, she flew to Seattle and stated that without civil rights organizations like CARE, which is LARPing as a civil rights organization in this country, we would not have rights or liberty (under Muslim rule). Why don't you just come out and say who you think the legitimate government in this country should be, Ilhan?” They want Muslims rule. Also the “civil rights” that CAIR fights for are things like demanding sharia law compliance. CAIR actually partnered with Ilhan Omar in the past to demand Amazon let Muslims take longer prayer breaks and do less work (I’ll include video)

GREG K. BOVINO:

And that's why I often say, the war is to be fought here on American soil right now.  All issues are downstream of immigration and illegal immigration.  So you're exactly right, the war is to be fought on American soil because many of them are already here.  That will take out those transformers.  And interestingly enough, I was reading about that the other day, these transformers you're talking about, some of these are monstrous things, like you say, and we have very few of them in the inventory.  We used to be worried about EMPs, electromagnetic pulses detonated in the air by rogue foreign actors.  But now it's much easier to do it than that; like you say, a few, some hunting rifles and take out these transformers.  And guess where we get them from, and that's China.  So you bet, and you bet China knows that.  If they could possibly, you know, make a strike at a key time, you know, near an election.

LINUXHIPPIE: The French police are there to protect the mayor as the citizens livelihood gets destroyed. They exist to protect the State, not the citizens. Never forget that . . . even here.

The good news of the day is that no centaur was damaged. They all stayed in the garage. The system reserves them solely for farmer protesters, pro-life, or anti-immigration demonstrators.

DIANA WEST: The sack of Europe.

FRANCE
We never asked for it. We never voted for it. And the one time we were clearly asked, we said no. 
Here are the numbers your media won't show you. 
70% of the French say there are too many immigrants in France today. 
79% want a tougher immigration policy. 
77% disapprove of the government's record on immigration. 
83% want foreign criminals and long-term unemployed foreigners sent home. 
And no, it's not just the old. 69% of French 18 to 24 year olds support suspending legal immigration for three years. 
This is not a fringe. This is the French people. 
In 2005, we were asked if we wanted the European Constitution. 55% voted no. Three years later, our politicians passed the same text under another name, through parliament, without ever asking us again.

IMMIGRATION ACCOUNTABILITY PROJECT ACTION: As a reminder, we give out 55,000 visas each year through an actual lottery, and we've been doing it since 1990. Couched in "diversity," this program (designed just to benefit the Irish) has awarded green cards like Willy Wonka's Golden Tickets ever since.

The Diversity Visa Lottery.  Never heard of it before.

AH, THE BOUNTY OF MASS IMMIGRATION. YOU RACIST!

Well, not exactly cocaine but you get the picture.  No anthems sung yet to Fentanyl.  Because it's killed too many.

Ilhan gets upset because she herself is the daughter of a warlord and has taken classes on terrorism.

I post this just for the fun of seeing Ilhan Omar's wild-eyed shout to Donald Trump.  This is from Trump's February 2026 State of the Union speech.  Ilhan gets upset because she herself is the daughter of a warlord and has taken classes on terrorism.

February 24, 2026 — President Donald Trump’s 2026 State of the Union Address to a joint session of Congress in the House Chamber of the U.S. Capitol.  
The X post’s video clip shows Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and  Rashida Tlaib [ugliest] shouting from their seats during Trump’s remarks on immigration enforcement, prioritizing American citizens over illegal immigrants, ending sanctuary cities, and penalizing officials who block removals of criminal aliens. Trump responds with lines including variations of “You should be ashamed of yourself” / “They’re blocking the removal of these people out of our country. And you should be ashamed of yourself.” 

A little refresher course on Ilhan Omar.
As to Rashida Tlaib, this may be all you need to know.  Begging for pity, while demonizing the host country she refuses to remove herself from.  Huh.  Give a listen if you can stand the aesthetics.

We followed the illegal immigration pipeline from Africa into and across Europe. REPLACING EUROPE - FULL DOCUMENTARY Over two months, we traced how tens of thousands of illegal aliens are moved into and across Europe, and who’s making it happen. In this documentary, you’ll see: • A UN migration worker admitting that governments profit from illegal immigration and have no interest in stopping it. • Illegal immigrants getting flown by plane to the European mainland. • Organizations openly guiding illegal immigrants across borders. We were violently attacked and nearly arrested for exposing how Europe is being replaced.

Watch the full documentary and share it with the world. 

TRANSCRIPT

Along the way, we discovered how criminal organizations, NGOs, and national governments are facilitating the invasion of the European continent.  Europeans aren't just losing their nations, they're funding their own replacement.

1:31  The mafia work with the police.  The police here . . . they don't want for it to stop.

1:59  Opens in Nouadhibou, Mauritania.

12:08.  What exactly were the police and the NGO workers trying to hide?

Why is documenting this process such a threat to understand the answer a veteran friend of the migrant Street Aid industry with over a decade inside the system when we met him he was working for the United Nations International Organization for Migration on the Canary Islands.

Carlos Brito, Mayor of Valverde, El Hierro.

Francis Mendoza, Civil Protection Coordinator, El Hierro.

Elma Saiz Delgado, Spain's Minister of Inclusion, Social Security and Migration. 

What he revealed explains why this operation depends so heavily on secrecy.

I'm here as a UN representative here.  I am the only one here in Canarios [Canary Islands].  Yeah, from the IOM.  The entire migration is a game. Everyone wants to have their share.  Every boat that arrives here, the mafia gets between 50 to 60,000 Euros.. it's a game, it is a game.  So long as money is involved, when money is involved, everything is . . . money moves mountains, my brother.  

12:57.  But what I'm saying is it doesn't seem like Spain wants to stop it.

13:00.  Oh no no no no Spain does not want to stop it.

13:04.  Why does the Spanish government want this to continue it seems like a big problem.

13:08.  The Spanish government wouldn't want for it to stop because every year the Spanish government receives a huge amount of money from the European Union.  When migration stops, a huge amount of money Spain keeps getting from the European Union for migration will not have that money.  What Spain can do is that try to minimize it but not stop it completely.

13:30.  So that they keep getting the money.  

13:31.  Of course.  It is a game.  [When] money is involved, my brother.  Every year the European Union gives more than three billion euros to Spain.  Spain keeps 2 billion Spain's government will take 1 billion in suitcase put it on a flight go to Mauritania. Maybe the government spoke with like 10 people from Mauritania.  The top, from the top.  Those group of people that the government go to meet with the money is not by check; it's not by transfer; it's in carton, it's in luggage.

14:04.  Wait, what!  Wait, you're serious.

14:06.  Luggage luggage luggage it's in the luggage.

14:09.  Wait they actually bringing a suitcase of cash?

14:12.  So the suitcase on the table, that's why it's a game. 

14:14.  Wait are you serious right now? 

14:16.  We are talking something serious here, my brother.

14:19.  Whoa!  They actually paying cash?

14:20.  Of course.  In cash.  In cash, no transfer.  In cash.  In a negotiation room, maybe there were 20 officials from Mauritania.  When the Spanish government leaves, the 20 officials that were in the meeting from  Mauritania, they share the money among themselves.  

14:40.  Oh so it's all corrupt.  [The narrator/video photographer is really wearing me out with a stupid emphasis.]

14:42.  So when they share the money among themselves nothing is done. Boats keep coming.  Boats keep coming.  Boats keep coming.  Even the police here they don't want for it to stop because the Spanish police that work here, more than 250, and they are all only for migration.  And the 250 that are here, they're paid three times than the regular police.

SCOTT MECHKOWSKI: I keep hearing that America is the last refuge on earth. It isn’t. Colombia hosts more refugees than any country in the world, and as of last fall, more than 1.9 million Venezuelans held temporary protection there. Mexico took in more than 70,500 asylum applications last year and recognizes over 60% of them.

from Scott Mechkowski,

One hundred thirty-five. That is how many irregular crossings the International Organization for Migration (IOM) counted in Panama’s Darién Gap in the first four months of this year, a 95% drop from the same stretch of 2025. In 2023, more than half a million people walked through that jungle.

Newsweek reported it last week. I haven’t seen anyone else pick it up.I spent more than 24 years in immigration enforcement, and for most of them I heard the same thing from the other side of the argument. People will come no matter what you do. Build a wall, they’ll find a tunnel. Add agents, they’ll find a new route. We were told the only real choice was how kindly to treat them when they arrived.

The Darién just answered that.

Let me tell you what that jungle was, because it was never what the cameras showed. It was a toll road, and the Clan del Golfo ran it. Nobody crossed without paying them. Colombia’s Defense Ministry estimated their take at about $125 a head, totaling roughly $57 million in the first 10 months of 2023. Human Rights Watch said $68 million. The most conservative estimate I found, from InSight Crime, was still north of $17 million for the transport packages alone. Pick whichever number you like. That is a cartel’s payroll, and the migrants paid it.

They paid in other ways too. The IOM counted at least 245 people missing in the Darién between 2021 and early 2024 and said the real number is higher. In 2023 alone, Doctors Without Borders treated 676 survivors of sexual violence. That is what the open route cost the people on it.

I keep hearing that America is the last refuge on earth. It isn’t. Colombia hosts more refugees than any country in the world, and as of last fall, more than 1.9 million Venezuelans held temporary protection there. Mexico took in more than 70,500 asylum applications last year and recognizes over 60% of them. Human Rights Watch (HRW), no friend of border enforcement, notes that many people crossing the Darién had already settled in South America for years. CNN recently profiled a Venezuelan woman who said she had crossed seven countries and a jungle to get here. Several of those countries take asylum claims every day.

I am not saying asylum isn’t real. I have met people who needed it, and the law protects them. But asylum was written for people fleeing persecution. It wasn’t written as the cheapest way into a better economy, and many people have figured out how to use it that way. Pay a cartel, cross the jungle, make the claim, get released, and wait. The immigration court backlog is now over 3 million cases. By the time a judge gets to your file, you have a job, a lease, and roots.

Somebody pays for that wait. I spent my career in New York City, and I can tell you what happens there when Washington doesn’t enforce the law. The city holds the bag. Mayor Adams said the cost would reach about $12 billion over three years. The city comptroller counted 340 asylum-related contracts worth an estimated $5.7 billion and found that no-bid deals were charging far more than competitive ones. The Fiscal Policy Institute argues the city’s own share is smaller than the headline. Fine. Even their number is in the billions.

Panama deserves credit for how this ended and blame for how it started. For years, its “controlled flow” program was built to move people through the country as fast as possible. HRW put the cost to migrants at about $140 each for boats and buses. Panama told HRW it spent $60 million on the program in 2022. Then José Raúl Mulino was sworn in, promised to close the Darién, and signed a migration agreement with the United States within hours. The reception camps that fed the bus line closed. U.S.-funded deportation flights started. Crossings dropped about 98%.

Mulino made that call, but he didn’t do it alone. Secretary Rubio traveled to Panama City and thanked him for the joint repatriation program, and a security agreement followed. At home, this administration is doing what the last one refused to do. It treats a hemispheric surge as an invasion that must be repelled. Border Patrol was on pace for roughly 98,000 Southwest border apprehensions this fiscal year, the lowest since 1967.

Smugglers sell one thing, and it is certainty. Pay us, cross, get released, stay. The minute that promise stops being believable, there is nothing left to sell. That is why the Darién went quiet.

Congress should stop treating this as someone else’s job. Write first-country-of-arrival agreements into law with partners that already process claims. Fund enough judges that cases are decided in months, not years. Attach real consequences to a denial. The Darién has shown what works. The only question is whether Washington will write it down before the next administration forgets it.

LULU: That woman hates Dominican patriots and that we're a sovereign nation. She has outright admitted she finds the dominican flag "violent" because its the only one in the world with a Bible in it

Ha, ha, ha.  Dominican Republicans can't stand her, so it looks like she moved to the US, won in some sketchy election, and uses her position to tell American law enforcement how they should conduct themselves.  It's almost like criminal gangs shaming law enforcement for enforcing the law.  Huh.  Darializa Avila Chevalier, 1993.  Ha, ha, ha.  Fashions herself as some kind of remnant of the Black Panthers.

And then there's a question mark on her birthdate.  What, she can't remember just in case she needs plausible denial in some investigation where she can say, "O, no, that wasn't me.  I was born in 1994."

SCOTT MECHKOWSKI: Immigration always serves the immigrant’s interest. That’s why they come. It doesn’t always serve the general welfare, and that’s why virtually every nation on earth has immigration laws. Nothing follows!

SCOTT MECHKOWSKI: We don't know who is in this country.

Scott Mechkowski, Former ICE Agent.  Visiting Fellow / Oversight Project.  

Grant Stinchfield.  

STINCHFIELD:  How's my analysis?  Because I look at that and say, "O, my God!  Are the terrorists all of a sudden flooding here?  But that's not really the case, is it?

MECHKOWSKI:   No.  I have a real issue with all of this being on the job for so long and seeing this first hand.  It's just so disheartening that the president, his administration was handed basically a Bible on how this all goes down and what we should be focused on.  And these numbers are nothing more than . . . it's just fanfare, right?  You saw the Visa overstays.  I mean the 911 Commission back on 9/11 they pointed out where the problems were 104,000 terrorists related leads and only 12 were acted upon or even arrested.  And then you want to know why we couldn't even find the unaccompanied children.  Same problem, same issue. So it's just really a shame that this is still going on.

STINCHFIELD:  Alright, so when you look at these overseas and you'll hear I know what you're going to hear from those on the left you'll hear many Republicans say let's start with the worst of the worst. I have a problem with that philosophy because you have to go in my opinion after every single person that is here illegally.  And sure there are worse than others, but if you ignore one side you're going to have a whole set of problems on our hands, Scott.

MECHKOWSKI: 100%.  Listen, think about this.  They used our immigration [framework] . . . the 911 terrorists used our immigration system; they used the processes knowing that nobody even prioritized them, and look what they did.  It was a catastrophic event here in the United States.  You'd think we'd learn from that.  It's not about the worst of the worst anymore.  It's not, it's never been.  Any immigration violator needs to be dealt with and they need to be dealt with in accordance with the law.  And if Congress doesn't like it, then Congress should go back and do their job and rewrite it.  But if you are an overstay . . . , and listen, let's get this right because they made a legal entry, they gamed the system by filing all these other add-on petitions later on.  I mean that's a huge problem.  

STINCHFIELD:  Here's what worries me.  President Trump has clearly done a great job along with your fellow border patrol agents, of course, securing the southern border.  The cartel are in fits.  I saw a piece that they're using live living horses to smuggle drugs into the country.  And then I saw a piece that they are now contemplating kidnapping, abducting border patrol officers.  I would have imagined this was always a threat, but do you think it's more of a threat now than ever?

MECHKOWSKI: I mean I don't put anything past the cartel, right.  They're resourceful.  One thing about the cartel is they're always a step ahead of us because we are always reactive; we're not proactive.  We have so much intelligence in this country along the Southwest border.  Agents you know you're right the brave men and women of the border patrol deserve a lot of credit.  They were taken out of their mission by the Biden Administration along with the interior enforcement agents, and they were held to process family units and millions of illegals that were coming through the border and taken off their posts.  You know, we don't know who is in this country.  I mean I challenge anybody to tell me that they can undoubtedly say that they don't even know how many people are here.  We don't know.  I mean look, the cartel will always use anything they can to get illicit drugs and their stuff through the border.  It's always been [the thing] . . . .

STINCHFIELD:  Real quick in 30 seconds.  If you can for me, what's the one tip you would give Tom Homan, his ICE agents, the Border Patrol that you would like to see them Institute tomorrow to make America safer on this subject?

MECHKOWSKI:  Listen, institute worksite enforcement.  Get e-verified done.  Mass deportations means Mass deportations, not Mass importations.  What you need to do is everybody is on the table and it doesn't matter as long as they have they've gotten due process, they've been through the system, they need to go.  We need a full reset.

STINCHFIELD: I'm right there with you on that and workplace enforcement may be the number one on my priority, because you've got to go after employers as well and stop incentivizing them from hiring all these illegals too.

Scott Makowski it's great to see you, my friend.  Thank you for coming on as always.


SCOTT MECHOWSKI: Due Process, another fallacy. They get more than Due process. A lot of people think a deportable alien gets one shot at staying here. The truth is they usually get three.

Due Process, another fallacy. They get more than Due process. A lot of people think a deportable alien gets one shot at staying here. The truth is they usually get three. Congress set up visas and refugee programs that people can use before they ever come here. Once they’re in the country, they can apply with USCIS for asylum, a green card or a work permit. Then if ICE puts them in removal proceedings, an immigration judge can still give them relief even after finding them deportable. People like (thousands more) Abrego Garcia skipped the first one, blew past the one-year deadline for asylum on the second, and still got his day in front of a judge on the third. That’s a lot of process for someone who came in illegally.
The real trouble is that the system lets cases drag on for years, and that’s where the fraud, waste and abuse come from. Congress could fix a lot of this right now. Give us more immigration judges so the backlog gets worked down. Put real consequences on people who file fake or frivolous asylum claims. Cap the continuances so a case can’t be stretched out forever. Stop using parole for things it was never meant for.

Pay for enough detention space and removal flights so a final order actually means something. And make E-Verify mandatory so the jobs aren’t there to pull people in. 

Tuesday, October 6, 2026

SCOTT MECHOWSKI: To deport someone, you need two things. A final order of removal, and a travel document issued by the country that person came from. The first one is ours. The second one isn't.

HON. VICKIE PALADINO: Martial law has been declared in an English town in anticipation of a boat landing full of illegal migrants. To be clear, the UK government is locking its own citizens in their homes in order to accommodate an incoming horde of illegals.

from Honorable Vickie Paladino,
Martial law has been declared in an English town in anticipation of a boat landing full of illegal migrants. To be clear, the UK government is locking its own citizens in their homes in order to accommodate an incoming horde of illegals. The fear is that the citizens will protest the migrant landing, so the solution is to lock them down under threat of imprisonment.

Most people have NO IDEA how bad things are in Europe, or how close we are to the same fate here. Democrat immigration policy is identical to this.

So even with all of the AI tools to place migrants strategically, in a pace that is subtle to make the replacement imperceptible, the English still have to lock down its citizens?

SENATOR ERIC SCHMITT, R-MO: America is not a global refugee camp. America is not a get rich scheme for the 3rd world. America is our home.

America is not a global refugee camp.  America is not a get rich scheme for the 3rd world.  America is our home.  And when houseguests become squatters, you don't delay enforcement you call the sheriff and you send them home.  That's exactly what we must do here today.  If Democrats want 350,000 Haitians to stay permanently, they should say it plainly.  Introduce a bill.  Put your name on it. Vote for the permanent status then explain that vote to the American people.  Quit with the games.  But stop calling permanent immigration "temporary."  The voters are not stupid, and they already made their choice.  The voters demanded enforcement.  President Trump is delivering on that.  But Democrats are fighting to keep the same old scam alive.  Mr. President, I have the power to stop this nonsense bill and I'm going to use it.  That's why I'm here today.  So I object to the bill which would keep 350,000 Haitians here permanently.  I object to changing temporary to permanent.  I object to flooding American communities with cheap foreign labor.  I object to treating foreigners as the priority and Americans as the afterthought.  I object to mass migration.  Temporary must mean temporary.  And elections have consequences; therefore, Mr President, I object.  --Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-MO).
