Mexico's migrant caravan breaking up after Trump victory sows uncertainty
So much winning, and he isn’t even close to being sworn in yet. How much longer before the illegals on this side of the borderstart heading home, too?
[Rooters] A caravan of thousands of migrants colonists traveling through Mexico with the hope of reaching the U.S. had shrunk to about half its original size on Thursday as many migrants colonists grapple with their prospects following former U.S. President Donald Trump
...Oh, noze! Not him!...
's victory in Tuesday's election.

Trump clinched the presidential election after a campaign that promised large-scale deportations of undocumented migrants colonists and a return to fast-tracked deportations to Mexico.

An official from Mexico's National Migration Institute told Rooters the caravan had dwindled to less than 1,600 people, down from 3,000 when it set out from the southern city of Tapachula on Tuesday.

Just over 100 people asked for help from authorities to return to Tapachula, the official said. It was unclear where the rest of the migrants colonists who left the caravan were headed.

After hearing that Trump had won, many of those in the caravan felt less hopeful about their chance at a new life in the United States.

"I had hoped (Kamala Harris
former senatrix from California, 2020 Dem presidential hopeful and ultimately Joe Biden's intended successor
) would win, but that didn't happen," said Valerie Andrade, a Venezuela

...a country in Central America that sits on an enormous pool of oil. Formerly the most prospereous country in the region, it became infested with Commies sniffing almost unlimited wealth. It turned out the wealth wasn't unlimited, the economy collapsed under the clownish Hugo Chavez, the murder rate exceeded places like Honduras and El Salvador. A significant proportion of the populace refugeed to Colombia and points south...

n migrant traveling from Chiapas to Oaxaca in southern Mexico.
Andrade, along with her husband, and like over 7 million other Venezuelans, left her crisis-ridden country seeking better prospects.

Trump's proposed immigration policies also include ending birthright citizenship for children of undocumented immigrants colonists.

During his previous administration, between 2017 and 2021 Trump put in place policies that left hundreds of thousands of migrants colonists stranded in camps along the Mexican border, reshaping U.S. immigration politics.

A spokesperson for Chiapas state security told Rooters that while the migrant caravan continues north, some families are choosing to turn back to Tapachula, near the Guatemalan border.

But for many the journey northward persists.

Venezuelan migrant Jeilimar, who requested that her last name be withheld for her safety, remains hopeful her appointment to seek asylum via the U.S. Customs and Border Protection app, CBP One, will come through before Trump assumes office in January.

"With God's favor, I'll get that appointment," she said, as she traveled with her 6-year-old daughter, intent on reaching the U.S.

Human rights activists say migrants colonists will continue to arrive to the U.S. southern border.

"People will seek new paths; it'll be more dangerous, but it won't stop them," said Heyman Vázquez, a Catholic priest and pro-migrant activist in Chiapas.

Far-Left Socialists Plot MASSIVE Protest for Donald Trump’s Inauguration
A little project for the Justice Department and their oh-so-active informants in coming weeks. In between sending out job applications, I mean.
[Karlyn] The Protests Are Coming...

Well, you knew it was inevitable. A coalition of far-left socialist and communist groups has announced plans for a massive protest during Donald Trump
...Perhaps no man has ever had as much fun being president of the US...
’s inauguration.
The image of the announcement poster can be seen at the link. January 20th at 11 a.m. in Washington DC. Organizers include The People’s Forum, Palestinian Youth Movement, ANSWER Coalition, Jill Stein, Bangladeshi Americans for Political Progress, Code Pink, Los Angeles Tenents Union [sic] — some are odd, others appear regularly in the Rantburg archives.
This coalition is spearheaded by the Party of Socialism and Liberation, which has been highly active in protests throughout the year, including organizing pro-Paleostine demonstrations on campuses nationwide and multiple events in Washington, DC.

Expect this coalition to grow as the event approaches—and that’s not counting Antifa
...the armed wing of the Democratic Party...
, which will almost certainly show up as the krazed killer arm of the far left. While members of these groups may not all be Antifa (though there is some overlap), they openly identify as Socialists, Communists, and Marxists who despise the Democratic Party.
Don't we all.
They view Trump’s second term as a prime opportunity to radicalize disillusioned Democrats
...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy, white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects...
, liberals, and progressives, bringing them into the far-left fold.

How are they funding that?

They’re raising $50,000 via small donation. They raised $2,000 in the first two hours of their efforts. When I signed up for their email list to get updates on their efforts, I was met with a fundraising ask and current results:
I’d not be shocked to learn that the organizers will have also gotten a much larger donation from the usual Progressive NGO donor organizations and individuals, enough to cover signs, travel costs, and salaries for the cadres.

President Trump Appoints Tom Homan to Position of ‘Border Czar’ in Charge of Deportation Program
[Last Refuge] Very smart strategy here. The "Border Czar" position gains authority and power directly from the office of the president. The "Border Czar" is a special presidential appointee with specific instructions and charged authority. There is no confirmation process for a "czar" position, who operates with the power granted by the Office of the United States President.

I am sure my comment will tick off some.

But before any Mass Deportation is started, we should be keep in mind, we have smartphone raised generation, that has emotional meltdowns doing basic physical work.

I would strongly recommend some serious consideration be made about issuing 180 day renewable Work Permits to skilled workers that come here, work, pay taxes and keep a clean record.

NO Federal or State $$$$$$ benefits.

With immediate deportation on conviction of anything other than littering and simple traffic ticket issues.

#7  I would suggest a program where people self-deport (leave the country) and then have the opportunity to reapply with documentation showing they have obeyed the law and taken care of themselves (no public assistance and no arrests…). But those who do not self-deport will never be allowed back into the USA.

#10  First get rid of the gang members and insert a tracking chip to nab them when (not if).
There are also plenty of indentured servants owned by the Cartels. The US's historic indentured servants were white and skilled. They often served for more than a decade, before the debt was paid and they became freemen. Employers should be required to sponsor and pay for any illegals they hire.

#11  Implement serious enforcement of the E-Verify System, discipline the massive remittances sending billions OCONUS, require citizenship verification for public assistance, and watch the self-deportations swell. As an added bonus, provide free one-way passenger rail/bus service, with meals, to the southern border and a modest exit gift bag and it will flow like a river. Those who sign up get no permanent bar to legal entry in the future. Those caught and deported are barred for life.

If they are deported -->> Lifetime ban.

Trump's plan to end the drug epidemic in America by declaring war on the drug cartels

… 2. "Guarantee that the waters of the Western Hemisphere are not used to traffic illicit drugs to our country."

3. "Order the Department of Defense to make appropriate use of special forces cyber warfare and other overt and covert actions to inflict maximum damage on cartel leadership, infrastructure, and operations."

4. "Designate the major cartels as foreign terrorist organizations."

5: "Sever their access to global financial systems."

6. "Get the full cooperation of other governments to stop [the cartels], or we will expose every bribe, every kickback, every payoff, and every bit of corruption that is allowing the cartels to preserve their brutal reign."

7. "Ask Congress to pass legislation ensuring that drug smugglers and human traffickers receive the de*th penalty."

"When I'm back in the White House, the drug kingpins and vicious traffickers will never sleep soundly again."

The meeting between Abbas and Boulos, a Lebanese-American businessman, was cordial, the Paleostinian official says, confirming reporting in The New York Times

...which still proudly claims Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...

. Abbas emphasized his willingness to work with Trump in order to reach a two-state solution to the Israeli-Paleostinian conflict.

Boulos and Bishara Bahbah, who heads Arab Americans for Trump, helped orchestrate a letter Abbas sent to Trump wishing him well after a July liquidation attempt.

Trump expressed his gratitude to Abbas by sending the letter back to him with his signature and a brief message.

Israel said to believe US prepared to go ‘all the way’ with threats over Gaza aid crisis
Reason #285939 why Donald Trump was reelected president last Tuesday.
[IsraelTimes] Ahead of Wednesday deadline for increase of aid to enclave, US defense chief Austin reportedly gives ‘sharp’ message to new counterpart Katz that arms supply could be jeopardized

US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin reportedly conveyed a "sharp" message to his new Israeli counterpart Israel Katz during their first phone conversation on Friday, saying Israel risks jeopardizing the ongoing provision of US weaponry for the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
war if it does not credibly show that it has improved the supply and distribution of aid to Gazook noncombatants.

A Channel 12 report on Saturday noted that in mid-October, Austin and US Secretary of State Antony Blinken
...71st United States secretary of state and a leading light of the corrupt and inept Biden administration. He previously served as deputy national security advisor from 2013 to 2015 and deputy secretary of state from 2015 to 2017 under the corrupt and inept Obama administration. He advocated for the 2003 invasion of Iraq while serving as the Democratic staff director of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee from 2002 to 2008. He was a foreign policy advisor for the Biden 2008 presidential campaign. During his tenure in the Obama administration, Blinken helped craft B.O.'s policy on Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the nuclear program of Iran. We all saw how well each of those worked. After leaving government service, Blinken moved into the private sector, co-founding WestExec Advisors, a lobbying firm...
warned Israel in a letter that it had 30 days — until November 13 — to implement significant improvements to the humanitarian situation in Gaza or jeopardize the continued supply of US weapons.

The drop in aid supplies, they warned at the time, called into question Israel’s commitment that it would not restrict the entry of aid into Gaza and that it is using US weapons in line with international law.

That written commitment was provided last March in order to ensure Israel’s compliance with a national security memorandum (NSM) issued by Biden in February. The memo applies to all recipients of US security assistance.

With the 30-day period set to expire on Wednesday, Austin, according to Saturday’s TV report, urged Katz on Friday to raise the issue before the cabinet and said Israel needed to maintain what Katz told him was a recent increase in aid;. He also stressed the need to ensure there is no harm to noncombatants in Gaza war.

Katz reportedly responded that Israel is trying to cooperate on the aid issue, but Hamas
..a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",...
keeps stealing supplies and selling them for high prices. Israel wants to be sure it reaches the populace, Katz said, and is working with Arab states to help ensure this.

The TV report said Israel believes the US intends to go "all the way" in pressing Israel on this issue, rather than letting it slide because the Biden administration will be out of office in two months.

In practice, the report said, this means that if Washington is not convinced there has been a dramatic change for the better as regards aid delivery and distribution, there could be a "direct collision" on the issue of arms supplies.

In its readout of the Austin-Katz call, the US Defense Department noted that the secretary emphasized "the need to improve the dire humanitarian conditions in Gaza."

Israel has greatly improved aid access to Gaza in recent weeks, US State Department front man Matthew Miller said last week, including the opening of the Kissufim Border Crossing, which brings the number of crossing points into the Strip to five.

While Israel has made progress on the matter, Miller said there was more work to be done to meet the requirements posed in the October 13 letter.

"We have continued to press them, and we have seen them take additional steps," Miller said, noting that the United States has also urged Israel to ensure that at least 350 aid trucks enter Gaza daily. On Tuesday, 229 trucks were allowed in, still below the target.

On Friday, the United Nations
...an organization originally established to war on dictatorships which was promptly infiltrated by dictatorships and is now held in thrall to dictatorships...
’ independent Famine Review Committee issued a rare warning that there was a "strong likelihood" of imminent famine in parts of north Gaza with immediate action required from the warring parties to ease a catastrophic situation.

The IDF rejected the FRC report, saying it relied on "partial, biased data and superficial sources with vested interests," and claimed that it was facilitating full aid transfer efforts to all areas of the Gaza Strip.

The IDF said that since the war started in October of last year, over 39,000 trucks carrying more than 840,000 tons of food have entered Gaza, and meetings were taking place daily with the UN, which had 700 trucks of aid awaiting pickup and distribution.

Yeah, some kind of think tank, consult, influence peddling job. He's not gonna fit well with the Trumpian DoD.

I was not there but given Israel's recent determination, I suspect the reaction to Austin's "sharp message" was a smile and a shrug, which is diplospeak for "Yeah, whatever. Also, go *bleep* yourself".
