The reason Americans get vaccinated before traveling to certain parts of the world is that there are serious risks anytime anyone is exposed to diseases for which they have no immunity. The Biden-Harris team reversed the process by bringing the threats into the U.S. much as the Chinese did with COVID.
It is sad for the deportations for those trying to live a better life. But it’s the Biden Harris fault for allowing this open border and allowing people to come across illegally. . When there’s a legal process, they should’ve taken it and now they’re here and now we gotta spend billions of dollars to send them back. What a shame, it’s tough on everybody.
Billions to send back...however much more have them remain economically and socially. The good news for them is that are being sent HOME...on the taxpayers dime.
What President — Biden — would open our US border on Day One, and also cut off our energy supplies on Day One? Biden was a heavily compromised deep state puppet working to destroy Our Country…
PS. Trump freed Venezuela last night, while capturing another deep state puppet…and the people of Iran are in the streets demanding their freedom…what a time to be alive
Yes. This is what a great leader does … facing the criminal elements, being stronger than they are. The Venezuelan situation was pure cartel rot growing rapidly and moving into the US. Bravo Trump. Godspeed.
I have no idea what you’re talking about, there will be no war within Venezuela. It’s a done deal. Now their people can go back to living a free, prosperous life, rather than under the thumb of a deep-state-narco terrorist-assigned leader. Watch Iran.
When my great grandparents came to this country from Italy through Ellis Island, there were numerous tests they had to have including a physical. They were required to be healthy and without disease to enter this country.
In the early 90's my husband, a French Citizen,who wanted to obtain a green cared, needed to undergo various medical tests and free of any diseases,before he was cleared to get his green card.
In addition he must renew that every 4 years and pay the several hundred dollar fee to obtain it.
Allowing unvetted,including vetting for illnesses,is another way to terrorize our citizens and harm our citizens with diseases unknown and or eradicated in this country.
Besides pharamacutecial companies getting rich,this was abother way to replace citizens with immigrants.
Then they are given free health benefits to treat these illnesses,while others are paying a small fortune for Health care in order to go to the Dr. ,if infected.
Perhaps the most virulent communicable disease coming from the southern border is MDR (Multiple Drug Resistant) Tuberculosis, in which a cure is often not available. Multiple exposures have been documented, coming from illegal immigration, spreading to unsuspecting bystanders, often living in cramped spaces or serving food from non-inspected facilities such as food trucks.
Indeed, TB is such a problem in the third world, that many immigrating to the US often test positive for PPD and may never convert to negative.
I’m guessing illegal immigration from Venezuela is on permanent hiatus!
Yes that is true that many test positive but it is because it has something to do with their past innoculation and exposure to Mad Cow disease particularly in Europe.
It might be more of a false positive than actually being positive with the disease.
THIS is the elephant in the room I have been talking about for years. Illegal unvetted immigration is a health crisis. For example every year since Biden and he Democrats opened up the borders the rates of TB and Leprosy have skyrocketed. That is just the tip of the iceberg. They want to force us to get a vaccine so our neighbor does not get a bad cold, but it is OK if our 'neighbor' gives us TB. This is insanity.
Without any ability to monitor who came into the country there was no way to understand the long term impacts.
The TB increases, the airborne increases are measurable.
So it is easy to point fingers, but through my epidemiology classes, and medical micro class I'll chose to say un-vetted and open borders was a fools game.
Any elected or supposed defenders of al raza want to argue that, let them go to countries where disease runs rampant and explain why variants that only come from there are now here.
Early today I read this article tilted "Close Encounters of the Illegal Kind"
by Justin Shores. I have a supporting title Close Encounters of a Fraudulent Kind"
I quote from Mr. Shores "From 2021 to early 2025, Customs and Border Protection recorded over 10 million encounters with illegal migrants nationwide ... That number alone is huge."
So who has actually entered the US with fraudulent identification and scammed our Government and hard-working taxpayers? Well let me provide you a link on scammers and 275 shake-down artists who have illegally entered our country in Minneapolis. Sound familiar?
"Operation Twin Shield, the first of its kind targeted surge of fraud detection and deterrence activities across Minneapolis-St. Paul and surrounding areas Sept. 19 to 28 —immigration officers discovered suspected fraud in 275 cases in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area."
Any Concealed Fraud Going Down in the Lil Ole Beach Town of Santa Barbara???
America for Americans! And the last thing I want to hear: "we're all immigrants'. Yeah, when corageous, intelligent pioneers sought to settle this huge new land mass. Those days are long gone!
On what basis do we 'owe' foreigners anything? We don't owe 'em squat.
I for one are astatic that the President and the US military are kicking ass and taking names in Venezuela. This, is an unprecedented effort to remove another contagion (narcotics) from our society and a corrupt, narco terrorist government.
As for the mamby-pamby progressives and their pity party, time to get over it and join in on the winning!
Maduro was not democratically elected, he stole the election - look up Biden’s statements on this even. Most of Venezuela is ecstatic that the communist government who kills dissenters was potentially toppled today.
Would you rather the resources go to Russia to fund their war? Or China and Iran like they were before this??? At least Trump is going to help their economic plight by paying them for these resources. This changes so much. Now we can use the refinery’s that we built to process the crude oil that they produce instead of buying it from Canada.
Here’s something I read today. If the opposition party had the ability to take power they would have when they won the last election. Trump is fighting the cartels + Iran + Cuba + Russia.
Who would you want in control as an anti-everything?
“Delcy Rodríguez and the core of the regime’s leadership are negotiating with the United States as we speak. This is not a sudden pivot. It is the result of a conclusion reached in Washington over months: the U.S. does not believe that María Corina Machado and the opposition have the operational capacity to seize power in Venezuela because they do not control, or meaningfully fracture, the military. If they did, power would have shifted immediately after the 2024 presidential election. It did not.
For a long period, U.S. officials, including Marco Rubio, were in constant communication with Machado and her team. They were asked repeatedly for proof of a concrete plan, not just to win power symbolically, but to retain it in practice: chain of command, military alignment, institutional control, day-after governance. The answers were consistently evasive, justified by security concerns, but never substantiated. At that point, from the U.S. government’s perspective, the opposition ceased to look like a viable transition mechanism and began to look like a political wager with no enforcement arm.
The plan now on the table is for Delcy Rodríguez to stabilize the country with U.S. backing and then call for general elections. This is not framed as an endorsement of the regime, but as a containment and transition strategy. Washington is explicit about one thing: this is not a partnership of equals. The United States is running the process, the lines are being managed through Rubio, and the leverage is entirely asymmetric. Delcy is the instrument, not the center of gravity.
U.S. officials also assess that Delcy’s harsh public rhetoric today was aimed inward, at the chavista base, not outward. That messaging is understood as domestic signaling. Nevertheless, as of now, negotiations with the United States are ongoing as we speak.”
Justin, criticizing deplorable action for our country and the world is not "TDS." Since you brought it up, maybe it is you who have TDS - Trump Devotion Syndrome.
Like I said, I was skeptical at first and then I looked into it more and think this is a positive change for the West and Venezuela. I am against endless wars and have been critical of Trump many times. He’s not perfect.
You asked why this was a good thing. I gave you some points of view, not just my own. You still act like Maduro is the victim. Neocons would have taken years, killed millions and spent trillions of dollars to do what Trump did in 2 hours. Big W for the west.
I have quickly read all the comments, and I have not seen any explanation or reason why Biden and the Democrats opened the border. Has anyone in the media asked that question? Berney
I agree with much in the article here, especially on Big Pharma, but in addition to the listed issues, considering what just imminently happened, there should have been at least a paragraph on Trump unconstitutionally capturing a foreign president and narcissistically announcing that, “We are going to run the country." If you have any morality, you don't only call out your shady neighbor, you also clean your own house. That is what this page fails to do so often.
Thanks for clarifying that. It would be nice if Trump's regime change war in Venezuela, which he promised not to do during his campaign would be address on here this coming week. This isn't to you personally, but to all the contributing writers on this page.
I was skeptical at first but this looks much different than the “endless wars” Trump campaigned on not being a part of. The Venezuelan people voted against Maduro in 2024 and he organized a military coup. China, Iran and Russia have positioned themselves as his allies and the people have suffered.
No it’s not. He has 48 hours to brief Congress under the War Powers criteria.
“The War Powers Resolution (often called the War Powers Act) of 1973 requires the president to notify Congress within 48 hours of committing U.S. armed forces to hostilities or situations where hostilities are imminent, and it limits such commitments to 60 days (plus 30 more for withdrawal) without congressional authorization or a declaration of war.”
So you support yet another regime change war that the entire country has been opposing for years? I thought this page claimed to be America First. Now Trump is going to run a foreign country instead of improving this one. What if a foreign country's president captured Trump? You'd support that?
Yep. Thanks for saying what a lot of us are thinking... #1) many of us had measles and survived quite nicely, thank you, #2) if you let in a lot of folks who haven't been "vetted" you just might have outbreaks. Well, DUH. Somehow, we weren't having this problem 5 years ago??? Hmmph!
Thank you Justin: As the Covid Virus and mandated vaccinations started ,something within me (God) told me to step aside at any cost. Thank You Lord! The hideous and satanic agenda of the left must have lowered their blood toast down to HELL. They had completely duped the world into a mask wearing (non-Halloween) pack of lemmings. CONTROL they had, and their Dr Mengele in the body of Fauchi. Who other than Satan himself could possibly feel ANY joy in continual punishment of mankind in their quest for power and control? The whole gang of Satanists Soros, the Clintons, OBAMA, HOLLYWEIRD, esp Hanoi JANE, DENIRO, and the whole cast of pedaphiles, Trump haters, Jeffrey Epstein "friends" (you know who you are) Hanks, Clintons (again) the "party" crowd celebrating ON the innocent due to their perceived "STATUS" as so called STARS! Just REMEMBER (you won't need to) EVERY KNEE WILL BEND AND EVERY HEAD WILL BOW! Then in that moment YOU WILL KNOW! We must take back what morally went far South(no pun)in America, and we for goodness sake must do this in every moment! Goodness overcomes the HATE and this HATE is in every pore of the Left agenda!
This article's author is critically thinking. We need more people to wake up & think critically.
The reason Americans get vaccinated before traveling to certain parts of the world is that there are serious risks anytime anyone is exposed to diseases for which they have no immunity.

Venezeualans have been living under extreme poverty for many years including under the Obama admin.
They are rich in oilyet their government has squandered all the resources which could provide a wealthy life style to all its citizens
Venezualans are rejoicing,contrary to your opinion as well as Iranians.
Speak to someone who live there and knows the suffering that has occured under those regimes .
You're living in paradise and fail to rejoice in all the freedoms and resources and wealth this country has.
Exactly…
https://x.com/ericldaugh/status/2007446126719336576?s=61
Not the first one that I've seen today from Venezuelans.
Biden didn't run the country his Autopen did. We were on the verge of war and economic instability with Biden
Can you imgine anyone stupid enough to vote for that pig.
Maduro probably voted for Biden…😎
No can’t imagine that, but they did it twice in 2016 and 2024.
Thank you Justin for your article.

I like North Korea's approach -
- Zero immigration
- No permanent residency
- Citizenship essentially impossible

Huge dancing in the streets in Miami!
Why yes it was.
Wow..."kicking ass"? Was what we did in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Gaza, etc...."kicking ass"? If so, that's pretty sick.

Why? Cloward-Piven Strategy employed by Deep State controllers…
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/sff50gB6UuQ
I agree, but I would like the media to ask Biden and the Democrats the question and have them answer.
To replace the citizens with Democratic voters. Hence why they get all the freebies.
I agree but I would like the media to ask Biden and the Democrats the question and have them answer.
