America Is Undergoing Genocide
PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS • FEBRUARY 6, 2024

It is not a conspiracy theory that the 300,000 immigrant-invaders (official count) entering the US unopposed each month are recruits organized by NGOs and not refugees from political persecution. The NGOs that are underwriting the invasion provide maps of the routes along which food and shelter are provided. Roads and bridges are being constructed to aid the invasion.
One of the NGOs is the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS), of which the current director of the US Department of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas, himself a Jew, was a board member until December 2020. According to an article on substack, HIAS has received $100,000,000 from the US government in the past three years. https://jasonpowers.substack.com/p/us-border-invasion-dhs-and-doj-are
Mayorkas is foreign born and himself an immigrant-invader. Yet, he is the director of Homeland Security for the United States. On January 31, the House Committee on Homeland Security voted to approve articles of impeachment of Mayorkas for “willful and systemic refusal to comply with the law” in enforcing border policy and “breach of public trust.” There has been no investigation of whether it was Mayorkas who gave $100,000,000 of US taxpayers money to a Jewish NGO engaged in the organized invasion of the US.
According to the report on substack, HIAS has a processing center in the Darien Gap used to collect the immigrant-invaders and to send them on their guided and provisioned way. Apparently, Mayorkas is aware of this, and possibly is helping to finance it. But don’t expect Congress to investigate anything that might reflect unfavorably on a Jewish organization.
Another problem is Vanita Gupta, daughter of Indian immigrants, who is Associate Attorney General of the US. Gupta has been active in investigating police departments, in enforcing LGBTQ2 rights and hate crime prosecutions, and winning settlements for illegal immigrant children. Her father is a director of Avantor, a company that makes in Mexico acetic anhydride, a product used in producing heroin and methamphetamine. As the Democrats’ open border policy facilitates the drug trade, the question is whether an associate attorney general who fights for immigrant-invaders and whose father is involved in a corporation that produces a product used in the drug trade has a conflict of interest.
Governance in a tower of babel is problematic, especially when the most recent citizens are people of color with racial privileges that give them preferred entry into top positions. Many of the immigrant-invaders arrive from countries in which it is commonplace that officials privatize their offices for money or for ideological and social agendas. When a Western government has so many government officials from countries outside the Western tradition, how does the country remain Western? Isn’t it transformed into something else? (With the collapse of the integrity of Western public and private institutions, third world behavior has become characteristic of US officials. Fani Willis, the Fulton County district attorney, and Letitia James are examples.)
Under the Democrats, each and every month illegal immigrants are permitted to enter the US in numbers (official, the real number might be higher) equal to the population of Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. Think about it. Every year the Democrats’ open border policy saddles us with 12 cities the size of Pittsburgh full of third world immigrants who know nothing of Western ways.
it is a new form of genocide that America is undergoing. It is unclear to me if there is enough of America left to be able to rescue itself. Rescue is certainly impossible as long as gullible, insouciant, hapless Americans continue to vote Democrat.
Not that the Republicans are much different. As far as I can tell, the only difference between the two parties is that Republicans do not hate white people, and it is not their policy to destroy them and to replace a white country with people of color.
But Republicans lack a fighting spirit. They themselves are part of the Establishment, and they are content to milk the situation to their own end.
Just as nothing will be done about the genocide of the Palestinians, nothing will be done about the American genocide. White people are an endangered species. Their governments are conspiring against them.

ANN COULTER: Impeach Mayorkas Again! Force Democrats To Show They Support Great Replacement!

The crisis at the border is the No. 1 issue with voters, and it’s killing the Democrats. To my surprise, my party—the Stupid Party—has done something smart (which Fox News tried to talk them out of). They’ve forced Democrats to vote on the impeachment of the man orchestrating the invasion, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
The Democrats know that if they don’t shift the blame for President Biden’s immigration policies to the GOP, they could get slaughtered this fall. They might even get Trump reelected.
Their plan: work with open-borders, amnesty-supporting Republicans to concoct an immigration “deal” that’s way worse than what we have now. If Republicans are fool enough to vote for it, then they own the border crisis. And if they reject it, the media will never stop telling us that it was a fantastic bill, it would have totally shut down illegal immigration, but Republicans rejected it for churlish reasons.
The most cursory glance at the immigration “deal” shows that it would do absolutely nothing to protect the border—and a lot to make things worse.
One example of many: The deal expressly provides for up to 5,000 illegals to come into our country every day. That’s 2 million a year, or about twice as many as under Presidents Bush and Obama. Biden can admit more, but that’s the bare minimum of illegals to be admitted.
It’s as if Senate negotiators were playing a trick to see how many members of Congress actually read the bill.
Republicans seem poised to reject this monstrosity. But keeping bad things from happening is a pretty low bar, insurmountable only by Sen. James Lankford and Fox News. It’s when we get to the Moving the Ball Forward step that the GOP usually chokes.
Impeaching Mayorkas would have moved the ball forward. Unfortunately, his impeachment was blocked this week by three cretinous House Republicans: Ken Buck of Colorado, Mike Gallagher of Wisconsin, and Tom McClintock of California. You can get some Republicans not to step on a rake all of the time, and all Republicans not to step on a rake some of the time, but you can’t get all Republicans not to step on a rake all of the time.
Fortunately, a vote on Mayorkas’ impeachment can be brought up again, and, if Republicans aren’t trying to lose, it should be. Over and over and over again.
The Democrats’ control of the media can muddy the waters on the heinous immigration bill. Republicans need something dramatic to prove irrefutably that, no matter what individual Democrats say, they’re all rooting for the destruction of America.
The only way to lay the blame for the immigration Armageddon at Democrats’ feet, where it belongs, is to make them vote on Mayorkas’ impeachment. (You always forget this, Republicans, but you don’t have the media.)
Biden keeps claiming he’s dying to enforce the border, if only Congress would pass a law giving him the tools to do so.
You’re probably asking yourself, Didn’t it ever occur to any previous Congress to give the president authority to stop illegals at our border?
Why, yes, it did! In fact, the law requires that the president detain illegals at the border—even the dearly beloved asylum applicants.
None of the “migrants” Biden is admitting have a credible fear of persecution, the requirement for asylum. Not one. They’re coming here for the welfare and criminal opportunities after having wrecked their own countries.
But even those found to have a credible fear of persecution must be detained until their cases have been fully adjudicated. (Section 235(b)(1)(B)(ii) of the Immigration and Naturalization Act.) Under written federal law, no illegals should be getting in.
These are laws on the books that have been banged out by Republicans and Democrats, negotiating over generations of Congresses, and signed into law by presidents of both parties.
Mayorkas is openly breaking the law.
Democrats claim that Republicans are trying to impeach Mayorkas over a mere “policy dispute,” not “high crimes and misdemeanors.”
This is like saying Dylann Roof had a “policy dispute” with the state of South Carolina about its murder laws. Roof thought he should be allowed to gun down defenseless black people in a church, but the state disagreed. See? Policy dispute.
I’m amazed that this needs to be said, but you can’t break the law and then walk away by saying you disagree with the policy underlying the law.
That is seriously what the Democrats—plus three not-smart Republicans—are arguing.
Fox News’ Neil Cavuto mocked the Mayorkas impeachment as pointless, telling Rep. Warren Davidson, R-Ohio, “he’s not going to lose his job.” Right, so what’s the point?
The point is to do what I’ve been begging Republicans to do since they won a majority in the House: Force Democrats to cast unpopular votes.
We have an important election in 10 months, there are half a dozen Senate Democrats in vulnerable seats, and, so far, they’ve been able to avoid saying anything about their party’s worst issue.
Do Democrats care that millions of criminal, terrorist, and needy illegal immigrants are streaming into our country? Who knows!
Make them vote. Mayorkas is entirely responsible for the invasion. Will Democrats vote to keep him in office? How about Sens. Sherrod Brown (Ohio), Kyrsten Sinema (Arizona), Bob Casey (Pennsylvania), Jacky Rosen (Nevada), and Tammy Baldwin (Wisconsin)—all up for reelection in conservative or semi-conservative states?
Could you at least put them in a difficult position, Republicans? If the House impeaches, Senate Democrats will be required to express an opinion.
Either they vote to remove Mayorkas, or they admit they don’t give a crap about our wide-open border.
That’s a gift to every Republican running for office this year.

Marjorie Taylor Greene accuses Alejandro Mayorkas of 'treason' over 'links' to fliers handed out in Mexico telling migrants to vote for BIDEN
By JON MICHAEL RAASCH, POLITICAL REPORTER ON CAPITOL HILL, FOR DAILYMAIL.COMPUBLISHED: 12:55 EDT, 16 April 2024 | UPDATED: 15:05 EDT, 16 April 2024
Link: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...ndro-mayorkas-mirants-mexico-vote-biden.html/
[see numerous vids at site link, above]
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene slammed Homeland Security Sec. Alejandro Mayorkas for his ties to a non-profit that has urged migrants crossing into the U.S. illegally to vote for Joe Biden.
The testy exchange occurred during a House Homeland Security Committee hearing examining the Department of Homeland Security's $108 billion 2025 budget request.
'You worked as a board member of an NGO that is working in conjunction with other NGOs, which are not only financing the invasion of the country, but also telling illegal aliens to vote in the United States elections,' Greene said.
'They are telling illegal aliens, noncitizens, to come vote for Joe Biden. That's your boss.'
'This is corruption at the deepest level,' Greene added. 'As a matter of fact, I would call it treason.'
Republicans went after Mayorkas during the hearing, which is taking place just hours before articles of impeachment for the secretary are scheduled to be delivered to the Senate.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., claimed Tuesday that Homeland Security Sec. Alejandro Mayorkas has committed treason for previously working with a non-profit that has connections to a group urging illegal immigrants to vote for Joe Biden
Resource Center Matamoras (RCM) has reportedly distributed fliers instructing migrants to vote for Joe Biden upon their arrival to the U.S. RCM claims to house functions for the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS), a U.S.-based nonprofit on which Mayorkas used to hold a board seat
However, the top Democrat on the committee, Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., praised Mayorkas' performance handling the U.S.-Mexico border

The Georgia Republican was referencing a recent report indicating that Resource Center Matamoras (RCM) - a Mexico-based nonprofit - has been distributing materials urging migrants to 'to vote for President Biden when you are in the United States.'
'We need another four years of his term to stay open,' RCM's memo's state, according to an image of the fliers posted on X.
According to the report, RCM houses functions for the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS), a U.S.-based nonprofit on which Mayorkas used to hold a board seat.
RCM did not return a request for comment.
'You abolished working policies, and following the statements of your boss on his campaign trial—promises to improperly grant asylum to anyone who came,' Chairman Mark Green, R-Tenn., said in his opening remarks.
'As a result, people from all over the world tested the system, came and were released, phoned home, and the mass waves began.'
'With this increased demand, the cartels took advantage, regulated that flow to overwhelm the crossing sites at our border.'
'Your refusal to follow those laws is contemptible,' Green added.
In response, the top Democrat on the committee, Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., praised Mayorkas' performance handling the U.S.-Mexico border.
'Through it all, Secretary Mayorkas has remained steadfast.'
'He continues to do his job across the Department's many critical homeland security missions, including border security and immigration enforcement.'
Mayorkas 'has used the full range of authorities at his disposal and stretched the resources provided by Congress to secure the border,' Thompson continued.
In a testy exchange, Rep. Clay Higgins, R-La., lashed out at Mayorkas telling him 'this is not funny Mr. Secretary,' before adding 'misdemeaning the office and high authority that has been entrusted' in him as Homeland Security secretary is reprehensible.
The hearing comes just hours before articles of impeachment against Mayorkas are scheduled to be delivered to the Senate.
Exposing Cartel Smuggling Migrants into the U.S Border
On Monday, Speaker Mike Johnson signed the articles of impeachment against the border boss, teeing them up for a delivery.
'The catastrophe at the southern border is the number one issue for the American people,' Johnson said in a statement Monday. 'We must hold those who engineered this crisis to full account.'
'While it will force him to grapple with the crisis his party and the President have created, Senator Schumer must hold a public trial on Secretary Mayorkas’ impeachment.'
'Pursuant to the Constitution, the House demands a trial,' the speaker continued.
How the Senate decides to handle the articles, however, remains up to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer.
There are many routes the Schumer could take in addressing the articles, including a trial, but the leader has yet to reveal how he wants to move forward.
Nonetheless, the Senate is expected to be sworn in as jurors for Mayorkas' impeachment on Wednesday.
Department of Homeland Security Sec. Alejandro Mayorkas' future in the position is unclear as the House has passed articles of impeachment against the man in charge of U.S. border security but the Democrat-held Senate is likely to acquit the charges against him
Speaker Mike Johnson signs the articles of impeachment against Alejandro Mayorkas on Monday. Johnson has claimed about 9 million migrants have been encountered illegally crossing into U.S. under Mayorkas' tenure
Republicans charge that Mayorkas has intentionally loosened restrictions around illegal immigration under the orders of President Joe Biden
How did we get here? Mayorkas impeachment timeline:
The Republican-led House Homeland Security Committee has been investigating Mayorkas' mishandling of the U.S. border since last summer.The committee released a five-installment report spanning from July 2023 to December 2023.
In January, Chairman Green released an impeachment resolution with two individual charges against Mayorkas.
The impeachment articles said that Mayorkas 'refused to comply with Federal immigration laws' amid a record surge of migrants and that he has 'breached the public trust' in his claims to Congress that the US-Mexico border is secure.
After a late night vote passing the articles out of the committee on January 31, the resolution was teed up for a vote on the House floor.
A week later, the House voted 216-214 on the impeachment articles and the Republican-backed motion failed.
But a week later, on February 13, the House tried again and the articles of impeachment passed by a single vote.
'Secretary Mayorkas’ impeachment—the first of a sitting Cabinet official in U.S. history—indicates how seriously the House takes his refusal to comply with the law and his breach of the public trust,' Green told DailyMail.com in a statement.
'This historic vote followed a thorough, fair, comprehensive, and nearly year-long investigation conducted by the House Committee on Homeland Security into Secretary Mayorkas and his handling of the unprecedented border crisis.'
'The Framers of our Constitution gave Congress this grave authority when public officials choose to ignore the law and inflict grave harm on our constitutional order. The Democrat-led Senate must hold the trial, render a verdict, and hold Secretary Mayorkas accountable,' Green added.

Republicans say that Mayorkas has incentivized migrant to come across the U.S. border illegally because DHS has lessened penalties for doing so
A number of asylum seekers await transportation from Custom and Border Protection. In recent months thousands of migrants from China have crossed into the U.S. illegally
Following the passage of the articles in the House, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer's office released a statement indicating that the articles would be promptly acted upon after the following a in-district work period.
But as that time came and went the House did not send the Senate the articles, instead working for weeks on massive funding packages to keep the government from a partial shutdown.
After another at home work period for Easter recess, Speaker Johnson and his appointed impeachment managers sent a letter to Schumer on March 28 informing him they would walk the articles to the Senate on April 10.
On April 9, however, a group of GOP Senators led by Sens. Mike Lee, R-Utah, John Kennedy, R-La., Ted Cruz, R-Texas, Roger Marshall, R-Kan., and Ron Johnson, R-Wis., held a press conference advocating for the House to hold off sending the articles.
The 11th-hour plea for delaying was because the Republicans knew if the articles were delivered on schedule - Wednesday at 5:00 p.m. - the Senate would have little motivation to have a long trial as many had planned to fly out of D.C. by Thursday.
'Many House and Senate members think Johnson’s timing is dumb, because a Wednesday night delivery [and] Thursday afternoon floor fight aren’t enough time to win the news cycle and to hammer the fight in Washington,' a senior Senate aide told DailyMail.com Tuesday.
Later that evening, Speaker Johnson agreed to the Senator's request and held off on sending the articles.
A spokesperson for Speaker Johnson said that 'to ensure the Senate has adequate time to perform its constitutional duty, the House will transmit the articles of impeachment to the Senate next week.'
'There is no reason whatsoever for the Senate to abdicate its responsibility to hold an impeachment trial,' Taylor Haulsee told DailyMail.com.
A source familiar with the matter told DailyMail.com that the House is expected to deliver the articles to the Senate on Tuesday, April 16.

The last time the impeachment ceremony took place was in January 2021, when former President Donald Trump was impeached by the House for high crimes and misdemeanors related to his behavior on January 6.
Once over on the Senate side the House employees are expected to enter the upper chamber and present the articles to the senator presiding over the floor.
Delivery of the articles immediately begins the process in the Senate.
'As busy as we are, one issue the Senate will soon have to address is the House vote to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas,' Schumer said Wednesday after Johnson agreed to delaying the articles' transmission.
'Our plan over here has not changed: the Senate is ready to go whenever the House is. We want to address this issue as expeditiously as possible.'
'And as I said yesterday, impeachment should never be used to settle policy disagreements. That sets an awful precedent.'
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has not revealed what he plans to do with the articles of impeachment against Mayorkas
Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, requested Johnson delay sending the articles of impeachment to allow the Senate more time to deliberate the motion
Schumer stating that the Senate will work quickly on the matter without providing further detail shows how closely he is holding his cards to his chest.
Will Democrats move to quash the trial for Mayorkas?
He has several routes forward upon receiving the articles.First, he could put the articles up for an immediate vote, which could and likely would result in the Democrats voting to table the motion, meaning there would be no impeachment trial in the Senate and Mayorkas would be cleared of wrongdoing.
Democrats control the Senate by a slim majority of 51-49, but some Republicans have indicated that they would vote to dismiss because there is no path forward for a trial.
Second, he could proceed by swearing in the Senate as jurors in the case, which would then enable the House impeachment managers to argue their case against Mayorkas before the upper chamber.
After hearing the case, the Senate would then vote on the articles.
Schumer's third option is to send the articles into committee for review.
The special committee would then investigate the articles of impeachment and would later provide recommendations for how the Senate should move forward.
In that case, the Senate floor would not be jammed up with impeachment proceedings, allowing them to legislate on other matters while simultaneously addressing Mayorkas' impeachment.
Still, how Schumer wants to move forward is remains to be seen.
Senate Republicans are hoping for a full trial as they argue it is the Senate's Constitutional duty.
But as the Senate is controlled by Democrats, it appears unlikely Schumer will decide to move forward in that matter.
