US ‘Aggressively’ Building Trump’s Border Wall, DHS Chief Says

The acting secretary of Homeland Security pushed back on the narrative that President Donald Trump’s border wall is not being built, pointing out that construction has actually been going at an aggressive pace.

“So normally for a federal project of this scope, from the time you get funded to starting, it’s over two years,” Kevin McAleenan said Tuesday on Fox News. “We’ve already built the 2017 funding in less than two years. That shows how aggressively we’re moving out on this.”

McAleenan — who became acting DHS secretary earlier in April after Kirstjen Nielsen resigned — has been tapped by the Trump administration to lead the agency at a time when the U.S. southern border is experiencing record numbers of illegal migrants, many of them Central American families.

Trump has been forced to fight tooth-and-nail with congressional Democrats over border wall funding. The federal government experienced its longest shutdown in U.S. history as the two camps fought over how much money could be appropriated for wall construction. The White House is being sued after it declared a national emergency on the southern border, allowing it to allocate billions more in funding.

The new DHS leader said more military troops are needed to help alleviate the crisis.

“They helped us repel two attempts by a caravan to enter the United States by helping us fortify ports of entry,” he said to host Dana Perino, adding that their presence has helped free up border agents to enforce immigration laws. “They’re going to be helping us build the wall, too.”

McAleenan called for an overhaul of the country’s immigration laws, but cited two areas specifically that are in dire need of reform. Homeland Security agents, he argued, need to be able to detain migrant families together and also have ability to repatriate migrant children from noncontiguous countries.

The requests closely mirrored what former DHS secretary Nielsen asked of Congress in March. The since-axed secretary sent a letter to lawmakers asking them for legislative fixes that would address a number of issues that have contributed to the immigration crisis. Namely, current immigration laws are not well-equipped to handle the massive number of family units from noncontiguous countries, which has resulted in overcrowded detention centers across the country.

Five-Time Deported Illegal Alien Charged with Kicking Baby to Death

A five-time deported illegal alien has been arrested and charged with kicking a four-month-old baby to death in Shelby County, Tennessee, after learning the child was not his.

Carlos Zuniga-Aviles, a 33-year-old illegal alien from Honduras, who has been using the alias “Jose Avila-Agurcia” while in the United States, was charged with murder this week after he allegedly kicked four-month-old Alexander Lizondro-Chacon to death on April 12.

According to police, Zuniga-Aviles became enraged with the baby’s mother, Mercy Lizondro-Chacon, after learning that he was not the child’s father. That’s when Zuniga-Aviles struck Alexander multiple times until he was unresponsive, police said. https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/04/25/five-time-deported-illegal-alien-charged-with-kicking-baby-to-death/

Blue State Blues: Republicans Cannot Win If ‘Ballot Harvesting’ Remains Legal

California Republicans are determined to take back the four congressional seats they lost in Orange County in 2018, among the seven the party lost statewide.

They have some political momentum, as Nancy Pelosi’s Democrats have proven incapable of doing anything except arguing about impeaching President Donald Trump.

Unfortunately, the tactic of “ballot harvesting,” introduced last November, has made it impossible for Republicans ever to win again.

“Ballot harvesting” involves using a third party, such as a well-trained political activist, to collect mail-in ballots on behalf of other voters and deliver them to the polls.

There is no vetting of ballot harvesters, and no limit to how many ballots they can deliver.

The tactic was legalized by then-Gov. Jerry Brown in 2016, over GOP objections. Hundreds of thousands of ballots were dropped off at polling places in 2018, making a difference in key races.

Democrats argue that ballot harvesting is necessary to ensure equal access to the polls — just like other innovations, such as early voting and same-day voter registration. They say that anything that makes it marginally harder to vote is undemocratic.

Democrats also accuse Republicans of trying to “suppress” the vote by pushing for safeguards to prevent fraudulent voting, such as requiring photo ID to vote or striking felons and non-citizens from voters’ rolls.

It is worth noting that what Democrats are doing in California, which they want to export nationwide, is virtually unknown in the rest of the world.

The international norm for democracy is in-person voting, with photo ID, and registration well in advance. Absentee voting tends to be restricted, and mail-in voting is rare.

Democrats, who like citing international practice on issues like health care, reject international standards when it comes to voting itself.

I personally observed elections in South Africa, just a few years after the end of apartheid, where the right to vote was considered especially precious by the country’s black population. Voters were still required to register to vote weeks in advance, and had to bring their government-issued photo ID to their polling places.

No one thought such practices “racist”; quite the opposite, since they protected black voting rights by ensuring the integrity of the vote.

Republicans, who believe fervently in American exceptionalism, want American elections to look like that — not because they want to follow the world’s example, but because that is closer to what our elections used to look like (and still do, in some states).

Democrats are, in effect, arguing for a new type of democracy — one that requires no effort from the voters, where elections are no longer a participatory process, but a mass recording of preferences.

Defeated Republicans and frustrated Republican voters have urged their party to compete with Democrats: “If one party’s harvesting ballots, both parties need to do it,” ousted Rep. Jeff Denham told the San Francisco Chronicle.

But there is a cultural difference between the parties. Democrat voters — especially newly-registered ones — might willingly hand their ballots to a stranger. But Republicans refuse to do so, even when approached by Republicans.

“When you go to a Republican household and ask for their ballot, you know what you get on the other side? You get the sound of a 12-gauge shotgun being clicked back and forth,” Republican National Committeeman Shawn Steel told Breitbart News Tonight this week, describing the party’s experiments with ballot harvesting in a recent special election.

The irony is by taking their right to vote seriously, Republican voters are being disenfranchised.

A democracy cannot function if there is such a wide gulf in ideas about what democracy actually is, and how it should work. But there is almost no remedy, because Democrats hold a supermajority in both houses of the state legislature, and ballot harvesting virtually ensures perpetual one-party rule.

The courts are the only option — and the liberal Ninth Circuit is presiding over a case in which Democrats are challenging an Arizona law banning the tactic.

Given the political bias of that appellate court, the only recourse may be the U.S. Supreme Court itself, which may not hear the case in time for the 2020 elections.

If Republicans are serious about competing in Orange County, among other places, they need to act with urgency. The U.S. Department of Justice should intervene in the Arizona case, and sue California for violating the voting rights of its citizens. Otherwise, one-party rule will spread elsewhere. https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/04/26/blue-state-blues-republicans-cannot-win-if-ballot-harvesting-remains-legal/
