Those are only the ones caught. Border Patrol recons they catch 2 out of 3 border crossers. Figure that in and the run rate illegal aliens is nearly 4 million over one year.
[EpochTimes] Texas state troopers have started delivering van-loads of illegal aliens to the Kinney County Sheriff’s Office to be charged with criminal trespass.
The parking lot and an old steel picnic table under a tree outside the sheriff’s office have become a proxy booking center as the building is more suited for the crimes of a quiet, rural county of 3,600 residents.
But last week, the area was bustling as troopers brought in and processed 17 illegal aliens on Aug. 3, another 17 on Aug. 6, and 13 more overnight on Aug. 8. All were males, and all appeared before the Kinney County justice of the peace for criminal trespass after being arrested on local ranches.

Tucker Carlson recently went to Hungary and visited the fence that separates Hungary from Serbia. While he was there the border guards caught a couple of Syrians trying to get across the line. The border guards checked the Syrians' papers, frisked them and then escorted them to a gate in the fence where they were unceremoniously put back on the Serbian side. The detainment was very brief. There was no "asylum" hearing. The Syrians did not get to tell their sad story to anybody. They were simply returned to the other side of the border. Why can't we do that?

I never could fathom why we treat illegal border crossers as 'immigrants'. I sponsored 2 legal immigrants and it is a specific legal status which is granted by the government by way of an immigrant visa after a process of application, investigation, interviews, medical exams, etc... In each case I had to make a financial commitment, by way of an Affidavit Of Support, that they would not become a financial burden on the government.
These are not Immigrants. There is no such thing as an illegal or undocumented immigrant since 'immigrant' status is conveyed via an Immigrant Visa - a Document. You do not magically become an immigrant when you cross the border or overstay your tourist or business visa.
Take them directly to the border and kick them out. They are not immigrants and should not be given access to the 'immigration courts' or process. And yes that includes Asylum seekers - who should apply at a legal port of entry _or_ consulate office.
[NYPOST] The second-in-command of the reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown ...home of Al Capone, the Chicago Black Sox, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel... police force ignored a "sacred" ritual by skipping the playing of bagpipes during the final send-off for slain Officer Ella French — impatiently declaring, "We don’t have 20 minutes for this s—."
First Deputy Police Superintendent Eric Carter enraged cops who gathered Saturday night to bid farewell to the late officer, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.

[ToloNews] Heavy fighting ... as opposed to the more usual name-calling or slapsy... between the Afghan cops and the Taliban ...mindless ferocity in a turban... is ongoing in the southern provinces of Helmand ...an Afghan province populated mostly by Pashtuns, adjacent to Injun country in Pak Balochistan... , Kandahar and Uruzgan.
Residents in these provinces said that the security forces are now in control of only a few districts.
The Taliban reportedly captured the Helmand police headquarters after a 20-day siege.
In Kandahar province, there are reports that the Taliban has captured the central prison and hundreds of inmates have been released. The Taliban stated that they have released 1,900 inmates after taking over the central prison in Kandahar.
Fighting was also reported in some areas in PD2 and PD4 of Kandahar city, and people have evacuated their homes in these areas.
"Last night the police headquarters also fell to the Taliban in Helmand," said Attaullah Afghan, the head of the Helmand provincial council.
"The situation in Trinkot (capital of Uruzgan) is very critical, armed opponents have entered the city," said Mohammad Qasim, a resident of Trinkot.
[ToloNews] Heavy festivities between the Afghan cops and the Taliban ...the Pashtun equivalent of men... continued in the northern provinces of Balkh and Jawzjan with the Balkh police chief claiming to have inflicted a devastating blow to the group in Dehdadi district.
"70 dead bodies of the enemy were lying on the ground as a result of Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s and ground attacks," said general Fahim Qaim, the commander of the Balkh police.
The Taliban have not commented so far.
Meanwhile, ...back at the dirigible, the gondola was dangling by a single thread of rope.
Jack! Cynthia cried. I just realized I'm afraid of heights! I don't even like high heels!... sources said that Yar Mohammad Dostum, the son of Marshal Abdul Rashid Dostum ...ethnic Uzbek warlord who distinguished himself fighting the Soviets and the Taliban. The story that he had a bad guy run over with a tank is an exaggeration. It was an armored personnel carrier... , has arrived in Mazar-e-Sharif city in Balkh province to plan a massive operation along with the nation’s defense and security forces against the Taliban.
Meanwhile, the Taliban have said that they have captured Sheberghan airport in Jawzjan.
Reports say that fighting is currently underway between the Taliban and the security forces in Dehdadi district and has been for the past five days.
The fighting is taking place in residential areas in Dehdadi, according to reports.
"Please do not use us as your shields; using civilians as a shield is a war crime," said Zabihullah Yari, a resident of Dehdadi.
"Firing is heard from all sides, the situation is critical," said Zahir, a resident in Dehdadi.
Balkh's police chief who was assigned to the post on Wednesday said that the security forces will soon launch a massive operation against the enemy in the north.
[ToloNews] The Taliban ...mindless ferocity in a turban... on Thursday morning captured Ghazni city, the capital of Ghazni province, without any resistance from the security forces.
The head of the Ghazni provincial council in a Facebook post said that the governor of Ghazni handed over the city to the Taliban following his discussion with a Taliban commander Abu Bakr and then left the city toward Kabul with the escort of the Taliban.
Meanwhile, ...back at the pound, the little lost dog backed into the corner and showed its teeth. And what big teeth they were!... the Ministry of Interior said that governor of Ghazni province and his colleagues were arrested by security forces this afternoon.
The security forces are now deployed at an army base and fighting is ongoing between the security forces and the Taliban.
"They had an arrangement with him (governor), he might have thought there would be no accountability about how much money he had stolen that we sent to the security forces or how much he got from the Taliban," said Amanullah Kamrani, the deputy head of Ghazni provincial council.
"Currently most areas in Ghazni city are under Taliban control," said Naseer Ahmad Faqiri, the head of Ghazni's provincial council.
Meanwhile, there are reports that the Taliban have started house-to-house searches in Pul-e-Khumri, the center of Baghlan province.
Sources have said that Kunduz governor Ehsanullah Omarzad and Zabardast Safi, the police chief of Kunduz, are in Taliban custody.
"Everything in Kunduz has been looted, all government assets are in bad condition in Kunduz," said Amruddin Wali, the head of the Kunduz provincial council.
"The government has done nothing so far," said Naseer Sadiq, a journalist in the north.
"The scale of the tragedy in Badakhshan is very large, there are no exact figures are available so far," said Zabihullah Atiq, MP.
Meanwhile, footage shared on social media shows the Taliban dragging a person in Farah city, throwing him into a hole, and then killing him.
Police in Wardak province have arrested Daoud Laghmani, provincial governor of Ghazni which was apparently handed to the Taliban fighters on Thursday, August 12.
Ministry of Interior Affairs said that the governor along with his deputy and chief of staff have been arrested and disarmed in Wardak province.
Laghmani was let go and escorted by the Taliban from Ghazni province to Wardak province.
Mirwais Stanikzai, spokesperson of the ministry said that parts of Ghazni province have fallen to the Taliban while Afghan forces are still active in other parts of the quiet provincial capital and will launch operations against the fighters.
Meanwhile, ...back at the saloon, Butch got the bill for the damage caused by the fist fight, the mirror broken in the shootout, and drinks for everyone...... the governor of Farah province along with the mayor of Farah city and other local officials have surrendered to the Taliban and then fled to neighboring Iran.
Earlier, the head of the provincial council of Jawzjan province had also joined the Taliban along with his 12 button men.

BREAKING -- the #Taliban claims to have captured #Herat, after taking control of the Governor's HQ, Police HQ & city center. Ismail Khan's whereabouts are unknown.
In #Kandahar, the focus of [street-street] fighting is now limited to one central district.
The United Kingdom is also sending military personnel -- about 600 paratroopers -- to Kabul on a short-term basis to provide support to British nationals leaving the country, according to a joint blurb from the Ministry of Defence and Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office. The number of staffers working at the British Embassy in Kabul has also been reduced to a core team focused on providing consular and visa services for those needing to rapidly leave the country.
At the Pentagon, Kirby said the Defense Department was sending 3,000 troops from three infantry battalions -- two Marine and one Army -- to Kabul's Hamid Maybe I'll join the Taliban Karzai ...A product, and probably the sole product, of the Southern Alliance... International Airport to help out with the removal of American personnel from the U.S. Embassy.
They'll be there "temporarily" and will begin shipping out in the next 24 to 48 hours. These numbers are on top of the 650 already in Kabul protecting the airport and the embassy.
An additional 1,000 personnel will be sent to assist with the processing of Afghans who worked as interpreters, guides and other contractors and applied for Special Immigrant Visas (SIV).
"I want to stress that these forces are being deployed to support the orderly and safe reduction of civilian personnel at the request of the State Department and to help facilitate an accelerated process of working through SIV applicants," Kirby said. "This is a temporary mission with a narrow focus. As with all deployments of our troops into harm's way, our commanders have the inherent right of self defense, and any attack on them can and will be met with a forceful and appropriate response."
A brigade of 3,000 to 3,500 soldiers from the 82nd Airborne will also be sent to Kuwait to preposition in case they are needed further.

Gross decision. Afghan military may turn on the US troops just as dangerously as the Taliban because of them leaving Afghanistan forces to the wolves.
#4
This is insanity. Is someone pulling together an official surrender ceremony. Are hostages being send over to be re-purchased? WTF ?
The principal lesson of Iran is that you do not leave your embassy open in the face of impending takeover by a hostile regime. Given that the Taliban facilitated the killing of 3,000 civilians on American soil, I think they qualify as hostile. Whether a takeover is impending - we'll see soon enough, when US troops have completely departed. I wish the folks deployed there and the embassy people the best, but it would not be out of character for the Taliban to attempt to inflict serious casualties on the outgoing US presence. For the same reason they helped al Qaeda with 9/11 - mindless aggressiveness amounting to sheer stupidity and megalomania. If they succeed, the midterms will be a landslide win for the GOP.

If the embassy were taken hostage or massacred outright - not out of the question, given the Taliban's material support for 9/11 - I expect US troops would be right back in there. For decades.

“But why would the USA want to keep Afghanistan unstable?
Look at a map. Afghanistan is located in central Asia. It is an impoverished, underdeveloped country that is landlocked. It borders the three top opponents of US power on the global stage, Russia, China, and Iran. Since 2001, not only has Afghanistan been a mess of terrorism, drug trafficking, and societal chaos, but this chaos has spilled over into the three neighboring countries.”

[AlAhram] The unrest in Ankara comes with polls showing anti-migrant sentiments riding high among many Turks
Dozens of angry Turks smashed up shops and cars believed to belong to Syrian migrants colonists in the capital Ankara, prompting police to intervene, media reports said Thursday.
The unrest broke out late Wednesday in response to a fight between local residents and people believed to be Syrian migrants colonists in which one Ottoman Turkish national was stabbed to death, the reports said.
Images on social media showed dozens of shouting men breaking through police cordons and then attacking cars and shops believed to be owned by Syrian families.
"The demonstrations and events that took place in our Altinag district this evening have come to an end as a result of the composure of our citizens and the hard work of our security forces," the Ankara governor's office said on Wednesday night.
"Our people are kindly requested not to give credence to provocative news and posts," it said in reference to the fight that provoked the unrest.
The Anadolu state news agency said two "foreign nationals" have been arrested and charged with homicide in connection the deadly fight.
The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...just another cheapjack Moslem dictatorship, brought to you by the Moslem Brüderbund... has become home to 3.6 million Syrians under a deal it struck with the European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... in 2016 to help avert the continent's migrant crisis.
The sides are currently working on updating the agreement.
Ankara has received billions of dollars of funding in exchange for setting up camps in the southeast that are now home to more than four million people in all.
Turkey's main opposition party last month made waves by vowing to send Syrians "back home" if it came to power in a general election scheduled for 2023.
Turkey's well-respected Teyit fact-checking platform has been debunking numerous negative social media posts about migrants colonists -- many of them Afghan -- this week.
The issue is gaining added attention out of fears that Talibs' sweeping gains in Afghanistan will result in a mass exodus of people from the war-torn country once the last US and NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A collection of multinational and multilingual and multicultural armed forces, all of differing capabilities, working toward a common goal by pulling in different directions... troops leave in the coming weeks.
Turkey is on one of the main transit routes for Afghans seeking shelter in Europe.
[National Insiders] The Biden admin.’s handling of the continuing crisis at the southern border is floundering as the huge inflow of people illegally coming into the country remains at an all-time record, leading to more overcrowding at border facilities with coronavirus still being an issue.
A video taken this week by someone inside the Rio Grande Valley Sector reveals immigrants in a facility jammed in tightly, with many not wearing masks. This has caused Border Patrol to have to take people caught elsewhere in the area to the temporary holding spot under the Anzalduas International Bridge in the city of Mission, Texas, where temperatures go over 100 degrees on a daily basis.
"They are way over capacity — so illegals sit outside because where do we take them? Logistically it’s a complete nightmare — people need to go to the bathroom, eat, and on and on...This has gone past the point of sustainability — it is lunacy," the source stated.

[IsraelTimes] A United States army veteran who converted to Islam was found guilty of plotting to bomb a white supremacist rally in Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, and could be sentenced to life in prison, the US Justice Department says.
Mark Steven Domingo, 28, intended to explode two home-made bombs packed with long nails at the planned rally in Long Beach in April 2019.
He was detected early on by the FBI ...Formerly one of the world's premier criminal investigation organizations, something for a nation to be proud of. Now it's a political arm of the Deep State oligarchy that is willing to trump up charges, suppress evidence, or take out insurance policies come election time... and, prior to his arrest, undercover officers made sure that the bombs would not function as planned, the department said.
In postings to a private online group, he said the US "needs" another mass shooting "that would give them the taste of terror they gladly spread all over the world."
"There were mosque shootings in New Zealand. There must be retribution," Domingo wrote in one posting. He weighed attacks on Jewish people, churches and coppers, before settling on the white supremacist rally, according to the Justice Department.
Domingo was arrested after he took delivery of what he thought was an improvised explosive device from an undercover law enforcement officer posing as a bomb maker, officials said.
According to the evidence presented in his case, Domingo considered “various attacks — including targeting Jews, churches and police officers” before he decided “to detonate an IED” at a rally scheduled to take place in Long Beach in 2019.
As part of the plot, Domingo asked his confederate — who was cooperating with the FBI as part of the investigation — to find a bomb maker, and Domingo then purchased several hundred nails to be used as shrapnel inside the explosive device, according to officials.
No mention of his Muslim name or which mosque he frequents. Perhaps that will be revealed later. Update from KRON4 at 10:15 a.m. ET
Domingo, a former combat infantryman, had recently converted to Islam.
Military records show Domingo served about 16 months in the Army, including a four-month stint in Afghanistan in fall 2012. A U.S. official told The News Agency that Dare Not be Named in 2019 that Domingo was demoted and discharged before completing his enlistment contract for committing an unspecified serious offense.
He left with a rank of private, the lowest possible grade.
Domingo’s defense attorney, Lisa S. LaBarre, told jurors on the first day day of trial that Domingo’s father died of cancer when he was 5 years old, and his mother abandoned him to be raised by his grandmother, who resented the responsibility.
As a teenager, she said, Domingo found his mother’s diary, where she’d written about his younger brother—not Domingo—being her reason to live.
Imagine, LaBarre said, “She’s rejected you and even put it in writing.”
So, Domingo joined the U.S. Army in hopes of finding some kind of family, according to LaBarre.
Unloved, rejected, failed out of the Army, and now failed as a jihadi. Prison might be the only safe space for him to grow up.
[GREATERKASHMIR] Five people were maimed in a grenade attack on the house of a BJP leader in Jammu and Kashmir ...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there.... 's Rajouri district on Thursday night, reports said.
Quoting officials, news agency PTI reported that the grenade was thrown on the house of the BJP leader in Khandli area and it went kaboom! on the rooftop.
Five people, who were maimed in the attack, have been hospitalised, the officials said.
Additional Director General of Police (ADGP) Jammu Zone, Mukesh Singh confirmed the incident, reported PTI.
Some reports suggested that the BJP leader was also injured in the blast. However, the man who has no enemies isn't anybody and has never done anything... there was no immediate official confirmation.

[RUDAW.NET] Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems.... (ISIS) holy warriors on Thursday released two people kidnapped last week in the disputed Makhmour district. Security sources said they were released in exchange for a ransom, but the families deny any money was paid. Another four people are still being held by the group.
On Friday, ISIS holy warriors set up a fake checkpoint on the road between Erbil and Makhmour, a town 60 kilometres southwest of the Kurdistan Region capital. At least nine people traveling the route were stopped at the checkpoint and five people disappeared, two Kurds and three Arabs. Another person, an 18-year-old Kurdish shepherd, was also kidnapped by ISIS this week, according to Abdullah Tahir, a Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) representative in Makhmour. The holy warriors have also killed an Arab driver and blown up a cycle of violence.
Two of the hostages were released early Thursday morning. Families of the men told Rudaw they were freed without payment of a ransom, but security sources said $100,000 was handed over.
Three people were maimed by the holy warriors at the fake checkpoint.
"They were wearing military clothes that’s why we pulled up," one of the injured men, preferring to stay anonymous, told Rudaw on Wednesday, his hand in a cast. "We said salaam u alaikum [peace be upon you]. They answered in Arabic. We knew it was them when they answered in Arabic. They opened our doors and they said get out."
"When they said get out, we hit the gas and fled. Once we did they fired at us... The three of us got injured, but we didn’t pull up until we reached the Asayish checkpoint," he recounted.
A local tribal leader appealed to the government for help.
"We urge the state to look into the matter, because the Arab tribes have been harmed. We want the government to make a decision and have a stance, because we have no support or information about the kidnapped," Bashar Tabur, son of the head of Tabur tribe, told Rudaw on Wednesday.
Makhmour and the nearby Mount Qarachogh are located in an area disputed between the Iraqi government and the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG). It has been a safe haven for ISIS sleeper cells because of the security gap between Peshmerga and Iraqi forces, as well as the rugged landscape.

[IsraelTimes] Israeli troops downed a drone belonging to the Hezbollah terror group on Wednesday after it entered Israeli airspace, the Israel Defense Forces said on Thursday.
The military said the drone — a small copter mode — was "monitored throughout the entire event." An IDF spokesperson said the day-long delay in reporting the incident was necessary in order to study the device after it was brought down.
The front man said the device was not armed at the time, likely indicating it was performing a reconnaissance mission of some kind.
Israeli occupation forces arrested on Thursday, eleven Paleostinians in Bethlehem in the West Bank.
Wafa News Agency stated that the occupation forces stormed Hebron city, Hadab al-Fawwar and Yatta town south of the city, Tubas city and Umm ar-Rihan village south west of Jenin, Beita town south of Nablus, new Askar camp northeast of the city and Jabal al-Mawaleh area in Bethlehem, and they raided the Paleostinians’’ houses and arrested eleven Paleostinians.
It is notable that the occupation forces on Wednesday arrested fifteen Paleostinians in the West Bank.

When I visited Bethlehem, the Palestinians controlled it. Our Jewish guide was not allowed to enter the town. I looked at the “Time of Israel” new site and can find no information on this “event”.
“Israel had two towns named "Bethlehem" during this era. "Bethlehem of Galilee" was located in the region given to the tribe of Zebulun in northern Israel (see Joshua 19:15), while "Bethlehem of Judea," where Jesus was born, was located 6 kilometers (4 miles) south of "Jerusalem" (Matthew 2:1), “
[SYRIAHR] Three button men accused of involving in crimes and drug trade were killed on Tuesday, after being surrounded by the police in al-Radar neighbourhood in Tartus city.
According to SOHR sources, a police patrol stormed a house in al-Radar neighbourhood in order to arrest a suspect for being involved in a crime and drug trade. When the members of the patrol arrived at the house, the button men opened fire on them and showed desperate resistance, before one of the button menwent kaboom! with an boom belt, which resulted in the death of the two other button men. It is worth noting that one of the button men was Syrian, while the two others were Lebanese.
Drug trade is prevalent greatly throughout Syria, especially with the growing influence of the Lebanese Hezbollah and the fact that a large number of the Syrians have joined Hezbollah with the aim of trading in and having drugs.

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
