Gov. Abbott issued a disaster declaration for most of the state in response to several hundred thousand immigrants illegally entering the U.S. through Texas, which will free up funds to help address the problem. He's also starting to arrest and jail them, although I'm not sure that he's got sufficient jail space for that. But since Biden's not doing anything....

California’s most vulnerable immigrants have faced unprecedented challenges this year, with some weighing whether it’s worth staying in the United States altogether.
“It’s not even that the country is not welcoming any more, it’s just not an option any more,” said Gallegos. “I hear that all the time from people here, and from friends and family in other countries.”
“Things aren’t perfect in Mexico,” Figureo said in Spanish. But at least there’s access to healthcare, and some unemployment benefits for those who need it, he added. “In comparison to what it was in the US, the situation for us in Mexico right now is much better.”
It's not as though they were asked to come here illegally, so it's nice to see that some of them are self-deporting and returning to their own countries.

Homeland Security is building the border wall faster than ever before, the department’s border chief said Thursday.
Whatever, they'll just climb over it, or tunnel under it.

In a rarity, the Supreme Court has issued a unanimous ruling in upholding a U.S. law that bars people from actively encouraging illegal immigrants to remain inside the country. All nine justices on Thursday overturned a ruling by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals which had said a federal anti-harboring statute was unconstitutional because it allegedly violated the First Amendment’s free speech guarantee.
In upholding the U.S. law, the high court also chastised the 9th Circuit judges for “drastically” veering from established judicial norms. And interestingly, the decision was written by one of the high court’s most liberal members, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg.

Oregon House Democrats are condemning recent actions of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Washington County, following the arrest of a father at a school bus stop in Washington County last month. Citing the bus stop arrest, coupled with subpoenas sent to law enforcement agencies by ICE, Oregon Democrats say the federal agency's actions are politically motivated attempts to subvert Oregon's sanctuary laws.
ICE indicated Galvan-Rodriguez is a Mexican citizen who is in the country illegally. Court records show the man has two prior misdemeanor convictions in Oregon from 2004 and 2008 for non-injury hit-and-run and theft.
Just here to do the jobs that Americans won't do.
As far as I know, federal law supersedes state law. Democratics can't seem to wrap their heads around that inconvenient fact.

Billboards in Guatemala and El Salvador, and advertising panels on bus stops in Honduras, are being unveiled this week warning would-be migrants about the dangers of illegally traveling to the U.S., Fox News reported. “The road to the USA has become more dangerous. Don’t put your children at risk. Give them the security they deserve,” the billboards read.
“Things have changed in the United States. If you get to the border, we have stronger border security there,” the State Department official told Fox News. “The likelihood of being turned away and returned to your country of origin or to somewhere else is a lot greater.”
It's long overdue, but better late than never. Want to come here? Great! Do it legally.

California’s Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom took to Twitter to say, “Doctors should be able to write prescriptions for housing the same way they do for insulin or antibiotics.” “We need to start targeting social determinants of health. We need to start treating brain health like we do physical health. What’s more fundamental to a person’s well being than a roof over their head?” he tweeted.
Maybe he could invite a few homeless folks to live in his Governors' Mansion.
But it doesn't stop there:
On Tuesday, Assembly members Lorena Gonzalez (D–San Diego) and Christina Garcia (D–Bell Gardens) introduced Assembly Bill (A.B.) 2389. The bill would require adult entertainers and video performers, including webcam performers, to obtain a business license and complete a state-mandated training course before being allowed to ply their trade.
That training course has got to be interesting. But it gets them an official California Tramp Stamp to show that they're registered. Cost: about $300 per year.
At least the feds are moving to tackle the state's illegal alien infestation, much to the dismay of Newsom:
In a little-noticed story published by the Los Angeles Times, ICE agents arrested a pair of illegal aliens in a Northern California courthouse in ‘defiance’ of the state’s “sanctuary law.”
ICE said in a statement that California’s law doesn’t supersede federal law and “will not govern the conduct of federal officers acting pursuant to duly enacted laws passed by Congress that provide the authority to make administrative arrests of removable aliens inside the United States.”
“Our officers will not have their hands tied by sanctuary rules when enforcing immigration laws to remove criminal aliens from our communities,” David Jennings, ICE’s field office director in San Francisco, said in the statement.

A St. Louis teen confessed to raping his 11-year-old relative about 100 times after she gave birth to his baby in a bathtub, according to a news report.
Cops were tipped off to the alleged abuse at the hands of Norvin Leonidas Lopez-Cante when his father brought an infant to St. Joseph Hospital on Tuesday and told police someone left the child on his front porch, KSDK-TV reported.
Lopez-Cante later admitted to authorities that he had sex with the girl about twice a week, a total of about 100 times, the report said. Cops arrested both the father and the son, KSDK-TV reported.
Gonzalez-Lopez was charged with endangering the welfare of a child. Court papers show he was in the country illegally and was previously deported.

Well, three illegals from Mexico did make it to the top of the new 30' high wall at San Diego, but that's as far as they got; SDPD & USBP retrieved them without incident and removed them to a processing center. Not all incidents end well, as there have been a number of skull fractures and other serious injuries incurred when border-jumpers tried to get back down without assistance.
“These three were very fortunate to not have fallen from the top of the wall which could have resulted in serious injury or death,” Aaron Heitke, acting Chief Patrol Agent of the San Diego Sector, said in a statement. “These dangers are not important considerations to smugglers, who place an emphasis on profits over safety.”

Man who raped his fiancée’s dog to death sentenced to 60 days in an Oregon jail
Not only did Fidel Lopez rape his fiancée’s dog, he did it with such aggression that the sexually assaulted pup had to be put to sleep. Lopez is said to have raped the Lhasa Apso, whose name was Estrella, because he was frustrated that his fiancée hadn’t yet come home. The 52-year-old animal rapist was sentenced to 60 days behind bars by a judge who said he wished he could give him more. After being released from jail, Lopez, who was in the country illegally, was scooped up by ICE.
What's surprising is that Oregon authorities actually turned the freak over to ICE; thanks to Democratics, this is a "sanctuary state". His "fiancée" also needs a psych evaluation, followed by charges for harboring an illegal alien.
