The Biden administration attacked the border patrol for using horses, and banned their use at the border, yet they save lives. Nothing else can traverse the vast and often mountainous territory of the border, nor rescue people deep in the desert. "The U.S. Border Patrol’s Laredo Sector Horse Patrol Unit rescued a migrant who became lost on a ranch approximately 50 miles from the Texas border with Mexico. The agents utilized their horses to search for the migrant and then provided first aid before transporting him. The Horse Patrol Unit “is an invaluable asset to both agents and people who need assistance,” Laredo Sector Chief Patrol Agent Matthew Hudak said in a tweet on Friday.

HPU is an invaluable asset to both agents and people who need assistance. #BorderSecurity #HonorFirst #SavingLives #HPU pic.twitter.com/vR6BzNljKr — Chief Patrol Agent Matthew J. Hudak (@USBPChiefLRT) October 1, 2021 Hudak said the horse-mounted agents carried out a search for a migrant who was either lost or had been abandoned on a ranch near Hebbronville, Texas. The agents responded to a 911 call reporting a person lost in the brush, according to information obtained from Laredo Sector agents. Human smugglers utilize the ranches in this area to move migrants around interior immigration checkpoints. The chief said the agents found the man, a Honduran national, under the brush and provided first aid. They then transported the migrant on horseback, to an awaiting Border Patrol vehicle for processing. “Every year, many undocumented individuals fall into distress due to the high temperatures as they travel through the arduous south Texas terrain,” Laredo Sector officials said in a written statement. “Fortunately in this incident, agents found the individual and provided him with the first aid needed to avert a heat-related injury.” Horse Patrol Units of the U.S. Border Patrol have a long history of carrying out migrants rescues in remote and hazardous terrains all along the southwest border. Breitbart Texas regularly reports on the rescues and apprehension of migrants and the seizure of drugs carried out by the men and women of the Border Patrol who serve on horseback. Horse-mounted agents in the Del Rio Sector recently came under attack by President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, other Democrat leaders, and much of the mainstream media after photographs emerged showing agents attempting to stop Haitian migrants from entering the U.S. Following the now-debunked statements, the journalists who captured the photographs and videos said they never saw any of the agents strike any of the migrants. The New York Times eventually issued a correction on their reporting on the matter. Despite the lack of evidence, the White House strongly condemned the agents and ordered the Del Rio Sector to stop utilizing Horse Patrol Units. Breitbart Texas reached out to U.S. Customs and Border Protection and U.S. Border Patrol officials for information on how many migrant rescues have been carried out so far this fiscal year. CBP officials replied and said that the Department of Homeland Security is fielding all questions related to the Horse Patrol Units. Despite three requests for information from the Department of Homeland Security, no response has been received."

“Federal immigration officials no longer will view unlawful entry into the country as the sole basis for detaining and deporting illegal immigrants, under a new Biden administration policy,” the Daily Signal reports. Former acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf told The Daily Signal, “To say [that] simply being here illegally is no longer a criteria for removal is to excuse knowingly breaking the law.” https://www.dailysignal.com/2021/10/08/biden-exempts-some-crimes-by-illegal-immigrants-as-basis-for-deportation/

You've heard about this, but it's worse than many media reports admit. Rather than only lowering the IRS reporting threshold from individual transactions of $10,000 to $600, the reconciliation bill would impose IRS reporting on EVERY transaction if you have more than $600 in total transactions of any and every sort within a year. This covers every single American, for every single transaction. "Gross flow threshold" means any and all transactions, income and expenses. Starting every January, you'd get under the IRS microscope for the entire year with your first paycheck or Social Security payment, or your mortgage/rent payment, or just your routine payments for utilities, cell phones, groceries, prescriptions, insurance/medicare payments, transportation expenses, insurance and gas, etc. Call your members of Congress at 202-224-3121 and tell them the reconciliation bill is an IRS spy warrant on every American and they must vote against it. From the IRS: "This proposal would create a comprehensive financial account information reporting regime. Financial institutions would report data on financial accounts in an information return. The annual return will report gross inflows and outflows with a breakdown for physical cash, transactions with a foreign account, and transfers to and from another account with the same owner. This requirement would apply to all business and personal accounts from financial institutions, including bank, loan, and investment accounts, with the exception of accounts below a low de minimis gross flow threshold of $600 or fair market value of $600. Current income reporting by financial institutions would be expanded to all entities, including certain corporations. Interest payments would be included in the loan account reporting." Read the whole draconian IRS document. This section is on page 88: https://home.treasury.gov/system/files/131/General-Explanations-FY2022.pdf

U.S. Citizen's Petition to President Joe Biden: Finish The Wall! ​ Dear President Biden, ​ WHEREAS you made the disastrous decision in your first week in office to halt completion of the wall being built along America's southern border under the direction of President Trump, seemingly out of spite; ​ WHEREAS you simultaneously canceled President Trump's "Remain in Mexico" policy and announced that migrants from south of our border will be "welcomed" in America under your Presidency; ​ WHEREAS illegal border crossings have now surged to the highest level in two decades; WHEREAS illegal migrants say they are flooding into America because you told them to come to America; ​ WHEREAS you are encouraging millions of migrants to come to America is because you see them as future Democrat voters so you can transform America into a corrupt one-party socialist country; ​ WHEREAS you are clearly putting the political interests of the Democrat party ahead of the national security of the United States and the safety and well-being of the American people; ​ WHEREAS President Trump had made great progress toward securing the southern border; while all the recent chaos and mayhem along America's southern border has been created entirely by you. ​ THEREFORE , as an American citizen who votes faithfully, I implore you to reverse course and FINISH THE WALL along America's southern border. I also urge you to reinstate President Trump's "Remain in Mexico" policy along with all of President Trump's very effective border security policies.

ISSUE SUMMARY: The Speaker of the House receives an annual salary of $223,500 per year. The standard salary for a Member of Congress is $174,000 per year. Members of Congress also receive a pension of up to 80 percent of their salary depending on how long they’ve served. They become eligible for a pension after just five years in office. They can also earn outside income of up to 15 percent of their salary. And they receive $11,378 in subsidies from the taxpayers to help pay for health insurance. The total pay and benefit package for a rank-and-file Member of Congress is estimated to be worth at least $200,000 per year. This puts every Member of Congress in the top 3 percent of Americans for income. QUESTION #1: Do you think this level of congressional pay is justified? Yes No Not Sure ISSUE SUMMARY: Congress schedules about 124 days of legislating per year, compared to the average American worker who works 240 days per year. So Members of Congress are really in Washington working just half time — about 2.4 days per week. QUESTION #2: Do you think being a Member of Congress is a difficult job? Yes No Not Sure ISSUE SUMMARY: Being a Member of Congress or a top Congressional staffer can be a ticket to becoming fabulously wealthy as a lobbyist. According to OpenSecrets.org, 427 former Members of Congress are now corporate lobbyists. In addition, almost 5,400 former Congressional staffers have left Capitol Hill to become federal lobbyists. One report found that Members of Congress get a 1,452% pay raise on average when they become lobbyists. Former Congressman Billy Tauzin , as just one example, was paid almost $5 MILLION per year by drug companies to lobby. QUESTION #3: Should Members of Congress, Congressional staff and government officials be prohibited by law from accepting a job as a paid lobbyist for at least seven years after leaving office? Yes No No Opinion QUESTION #4: If we had such a law, do you think this would help make our government more honest and less corrupt? Yes No Not Sure ISSUE SUMMARY: Four members of Joe Biden’s family became wealthy while Joe was Vice President – including his son Hunter, his brothers Frank and James, and his sister Valerie. Their suspect dealings are detailed in a book by investigative journalist Peter Schweizer titled Profiles in Corruption. QUESTION #5: Do you think family members of top government officials should be barred by law from receiving government contracts? Yes No Not Sure ISSUE SUMMARY: A century ago, Washington, DC was a relatively small and sleepy town. Today, the Washington, DC, area has an estimated population of 6,000,000 and is the fastest growing and richest metropolitan area in America. Of the top 10 richest counties in America, six are in the Washington, DC suburbs. QUESTION #6: Do you think our federal government in Washington, DC has become too big and too rich? Yes No Not Sure ISSUE SUMMARY: From 1789 to 1815, Members of Congress received a daily honoraria payment of $6 while in session. They were paid $8 per day while in session from 1818 to 1855. Congress was typically in session legislating a few months each year. America’s Founding Fathers envisioned that being a Member of Congress would be a part-time job. QUESTION #7: Would you like to see Congress go back to being a “citizen’s legislature” as it was at the beginning when Members of Congress usually had other full-time jobs, and were paid just a modest daily honoraria for days when they were actually legislating? Yes, I would like to return to that — when serving in Congress really was public service (much like jury duty), not as a way to get rich. I think it’s healthy for Members of Congress to actually have to go back to their communities and businesses to live under the laws they pass for the rest of us. No, I think we’re better off with the system that’s developed today. Not Sure Other QUESTION #8: Will you send your best gift of support right now to help fund this major national advertising, media and grassroots lobbying campaign The Conservative Caucus is conducting to 1- generate relentless voter pressure on Congress to pass the 28th Amendment to LIMIT TERMS FOR CONTRESS, and 2- make this issue a major theme and focus of the 2022 Midterm Congressional Elections . . . Yes . . . because this will be an important step in fixing what has become a broken and corrupt political system in Washington. No . . . because I think America is better off being governed by people who make politics and lobbying for special interests their lifelong career and who become fabulously wealthy with their pay-to-play political schemes.
