Hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens have flooded into New York City where, in many cases, they receive thousands of dollars in free rent monthly from the government. They are also eligible for a host of taxpayer-funded services such as health insurance, medical care, food assistance, and public education.
NYC has struggled to find ways to pay down the cost of housing, feeding, and placating this unlawfully imported cohort, which has brought with it upticks in crime, disease, and resource competition, disproportionately affecting America's most vulnerable citizens. As with other Democratic-run sanctuary cities, NYC determined late last year that it would have to make various budget cuts, laying off citizen workers to free up funds for idling foreigners.

DHS Keeps Detention Space Unfilled as Criminal Illegals End Up in U.S.
DHS Keeps Detention Space Unfilled as Criminal Illegals End Up in U.S.:
“This is a middle finger to Congress, American taxpayers, and the safety of our nation,” Hauman told Breitbart News.
Though Mayorkas has been insistent on keeping detention space at stagnant levels, Acting ICE Director Patrick Lechleitner has said he would like bed space to increase to 50,000 — a figure he called “more appropriate” considering the record levels of illegal immigration seen under Biden.
Since Biden took office in early 2021, more than nine million migrants have been encountered at the nation’s borders, the largest ever recorded in American history over a three-and-a-half-year period.

Watch: AOC Calls Protesters Non-Violent; Leader Caught Saying 'Zionists Deserve to Die':
Pretending that chants like, “We say justice, you say how? Burn Tel Aviv to the ground!” and “Hamas, we love you. We support your rockets, too!” are simply “peaceful” displays of youthful activism is like describing the 9/11 terrorists as just “some people did something.”

Keeping Up with the Pacing Threat: Unveiling the True Size of Beijing’s Military Spending - Mackenzie Eaglen - American Enterprise Institute
Equal defense spending between the United States and China plays to Beijing’s benefit.
- Beijing’s publicly released military budget is inaccurate and does not adequately capture the colossal scope and scale of China’s ongoing military buildup and wide-ranging armed forces modernization.
- After accounting for economic adjustments and estimating reasonable but uncounted expenditures, the buying power of China’s 2022 military budget balloons to an estimated $711 billion—triple Beijing’s claimed topline and nearly equal with the United States’ military budget that same year.
- Equal defense spending between the United States and China plays to Beijing’s benefit. As a global power, the United States must balance competing priorities in the Indo-Pacific and elsewhere, which spreads Washington’s budget thinly across multiple theaters. Meanwhile, each yuan China invests in its military directly builds its regional combat power in Asia.

- In January, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit said there was nothing "obviously unconstitutional" about arresting Villarreal for engaging in basic journalism.
According to the 5th Circuit, the "benefit" that Villarreal derived by maintaining "her first-to-report reputation" included ad revenue and "free meals from appreciative readers."...
Biden is the least popular president in 70 years, below Jimmy Carter and Richard Nixon: Report | Blaze Media
Biden is the least popular president in 70 years, below Jimmy Carter and Richard Nixon: Report | Blaze Media:
President Joe Biden has made the record books, but probably not for the reason he had hoped. The New York Post reported that the president is the least popular leader in the last 70 years, below Jimmy Carter and Richard Nixon.
The recent poll data could spell the end for the commander-in-chief. The Gallup Poll mentioned that Biden, who is 81 years old, has a staggering 38.7 percent job approval rating for the first quarter of 2024.
Biden currently sits three points lower than the one-term George H.W. Bush at the same point in his presidency.
