JUST IN: A south Texas migrant facility is now at 729% of its legal capacity, children are going hungry and are only able to shower once every seven days -Daily Mail

All of those illegal aliens will be let loose in the US. Probably even be given a free bus ticket to the city of their choice.

I just read that CBP is identifying and arresting dozens of fugitive felons. I'm sure 46 will be signing an EO any day now to stop that.
Not to mention all the positive covid illegals being pushed out the door to spread. If facilities are at 700% capacity, isn't that what they call a super spreader? And Biden is telling US citizens that if we're good boys and girls, we might be able to gather in our backyards on the 4th with two or three other people.

NEW: Joe Biden's problems at the US-Mexico border may be exacerbated by Border Patrol agents and union officials working with Republicans to undermine the Biden Administration, say ex-DHS and Border Patrol insiders.

This isn’t the problem. The problem will come when someone decides there is no government and acts accordingly to police their own area. Then come the crackdowns and mass arrests of any white peoples with guns.

$86 million to house 1200 illegals in hotels:

If that's 1200 rooms:
86,000,000/1200=$71666/365=$196/day. I guess Motel 6 didn't apply as a vendor? Only the Marriott?

Probably not 1,200 rooms. Maybe as few as 600 rooms, so that is $400/day. So, $200-$400 per day. What a deal we got.
Also, $86,000,000 split among 1,200 people = $71,666 each. It would be cheaper to give each immigrant $50k and send them on their way to California.
-
That money will be spread around and there will probably be hardly anything left for the hotels.
The hotels will probably be forced to take them in at a discount, losing money in the long run.
Especially considering all the cleaning and damage from housing third worlders.
-

Or send them back to Mexico or Central America, where $50K will last them four times or more as long. Most of these people are not coming here for asylum, they are coming for money. I hate bribes, but the smart ass answer is probably the most cost effective answer at this point.

I have heard of space blankets, but never thought of what they looked like when a bunch are used like that. Are they just easier to store and clean? I would have thought the cheap fake wool blankets would be easier.

They take up about 2 cubic inches when stored (probably a lot less when bulk packed) and they are disposable.

Biden has put Harris in charge of the border.
“It’s not her full responsibility job, but she is leading the effort because I think the best thing to do is to put someone who … speaks for me, doesn’t have to check with me. She knows what she’s doing, and I hope we can move this along,” he told reporters, according to pool reports.

I keep a bunch of space blankets in my truck, emergency kits and my bug-out bag. They are very useful up here in hypothermia country.

I keep a bunch of space blankets in my truck, emergency kits and my bug-out bag. They are very useful up here in hypothermia country.
Many years ago I thought it would be cool to try out some of my emergency supplies for real on a camping trip. Space blankets were one of my major disappointments. For all the claims about the heat they reflect, it is hard to remember a time I was colder through the night - and temperatures were not particularly cold. Another time I used a debris shelter and a big contractor trash bag and stayed warmer and more dry. I still carry them because they're easy, and I know you can do useful things with them (especially shelter building and fire reflectors), but you definitely need to know their extensive limitations.

Me too, they don't take up any room.

Many years ago I thought it would be cool to try out some of my emergency supplies for real on a camping trip. Space blankets were one of my major disappointments.
I found similar. I will say that the Adventure Medical ones are WAY better than the run of the mill ones. I tested this (mine was only $30) and found it to be noticeably warmer than a space blanket:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EZEPCB4/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I keep it in one vehicle and Adventure Medical blankets in another. Additionally each vehicle has a down vest I got from Costco for like $15/ea, and a cheap breathable rain jacket. If I put everything on, I should stay reasonably warm.
That said, anytime I do a road trip, I also throw a real sleeping bag and good jacket in the vehicle.

The surge is Trump's fault. It started in the Trump administration and 46 has to deal with it now.
If he means the Trump administration from 04NOV20 - 20JAN21, I guess I have to give him that.

-
I just don't understand how that narrative, that this is Trump's fault, is still getting traction. Surely there has to be a social media site somewhere that said, "Hey, amigos! Biden won the election. The border is open!!" And if it didn't say that, I'm sure there was some communication to the masses about where and when to meet.
-
On a spring backpacking trip in NC I opted for a sleeping bag rated for 32 degrees. The coldest lows I could find for the area in weather forecasts were around 40.
Well, I was in the mountains and I didn't take into consideration non-stop 30 mph winds all night. That first night I was cold and didn't sleep well. When the second night rolled around, the temp was actually cooler and the wind didn't lie down, so I knew I was in for another cold night.
I was miserable the second night until I pulled out the old tiny space blanket in my kit and put it over my sleeping bag as a wind block. Worked like a charm!

"I ask that you give the people dignity and respect."
Nice line by Biden staffer who keeps blocking Cruz from recording conditions at the border. It's infuriating to see this, totally supported by the MSM, when they would be screaming bloody murder if a Trump staffer tried to block a dem rep, or the press. Suddenly a President Clark style regime is all the rage with the hip kids.

Ten percent of the minors being sent to San Diego are positive for covid.
https://www.theepochtimes.com/dozens-of-unaccompanied-minors-in-san-diego-convention-center-test-positive-for-covid-19_3755058.html
Dozens of the over 700 unaccompanied minors who crossed the U.S.-Mexico border illegally and were transported to a shelter at a San Diego convention center have tested positive for COVID-19, according to local and health officials cited in multiple media reports.
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) spokesperson Bonnie Preston told NBC7 on Monday that at least 69 minors had tested positive and were all asymptomatic.
At the same time, I also saw that the 46 administration is setting up in-person learning for all the kids at this facility, while teachers in San Diego are still refusing to return to classrooms to teach US citizens.

I heard that the left is all about encouraging illegal immigration because it keeps population numbers in leftist states and cities high to maintain census numbers for the proportioning of Representatives and federal money, plus these sanctuary states and cities let them vote of course.
It’s something I never thought about but makes complete sense.

Maria Bartiromo has been doing a special all week from Del Rio. It has been really eye-opening. She has been interviewing illegals that turned themselves in, all well dressed and talking about paying coyotes $8-$10K to get across the border. Hardly poor asylum seekers, and many saying they are going to go stay with friends in Boston and other big cities. Sure sound like people who should be standing in the legal line and not claiming asylum status.
Additionally, there were a few very powerful interviews with residents at the border. People who can't go to their barn to feed the animals without a gun because there might be someone in their barn. Illegals knocking on doors and windows at all hours. I can't imagine trying to remain in my home in peace if I had to constantly worry about someone breaking in. I mean, we all here on APS have some version of home security for this kind of thing, but with it being based on the small chance of a home invasion, not worrying daily that someone might break in.
One rancher talked about how he now has guns hidden everywhere in the house for quick access. Another talked about illegals surrounding his car demanding he drive them somewhere. He only got out of it because he went for his pistol and they ran.
More than anything else in the reporting, what is happening to ordinary citizens on the border really got to me.

And to think I have been chided for suggesting setting up a ladder stand (like for deer hunting) at a high traffic area, then "raising some dirt" in front of the illegals to "convince them" that they would be safer back the way they came. >:D

They likely have fewer issues with the Govt having illegal status. If they were legal immigrants, INS would likely have them doing paperwork all the time to prove one thing or another.
I know an engineer who married a Venezuelan woman. Even after the 2nd kid years later they were still having to file paperwork to show it wasn't some scam. She didn't have much good to say about illegals or INS bureaucrats. (thinking about it, that conversation was over 10 years ago)

So we've now gone from the most effective border policy in the last 40 years to the worst. As per the news this morning, as of today, more illegal aliens have crossed the border this year than there are residents in my entire state. Over 1.8 million. That is only the illegals that have had contact with the authorities - it does not include "gotaways" which some might argue is a larger number than the illegals who have surrendered at the border.
