While Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi go all out to protect Ukraine's national sovereignty, at the same time they are orchestrating a clandestine invasion of America across the southern border.
Two million illegal immigrants from dozens of countries crossed over from Mexico last year, and the Biden administration is facilitating the cartels' people-smuggling operation — at taxpayer expense.
Under cover of darkness, every night the federal government is transporting illegal migrants as fast as they can away from the border on secret charter flights into unsuspecting communities around the country. Officials have lied and obstructed the few journalists who have tried to reveal the truth.
This is nothing short of a betrayal of the American people.
And that's not just me saying it — those are exactly the words of one federal-government contractor employed to transport migrants from the southern border to the airport in White Plains.
"The government is betraying the American people," the contractor told a Westchester County police officer in a conversation that was recorded on the cop's bodycam on the tarmac of the county airport on Aug. 13, 2021. The men were standing beside a Boeing 737 flown in from Fort Bliss, Texas by iAero Airways under charter by the federal government.
Damning footage
The 51-minute footage was obtained under a Freedom of Information Act request by former Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino, a Republican candidate for governor in 2022.
Throughout the footage, Police Sgt. Michael Hamborsky expresses frustration that local police have been given no information about the flights arriving after curfew at the airport, in breach of security protocols.

"You're on a secure facility here; we really don't know anything and we're in charge of security," he tells one of the federal contractors.
"This is anti all our security stuff."
The iAero flight that so puzzled Hamborsky that night was just one of the almost nightly charter flights that began shuttling migrants into the suburban Westchester airport after curfew from places like McAllen, El Paso and Houston, Texas, last year beginning at least as far back as Aug. 8. The flights stopped only after the Post revealed their existence in late October.
The bodycam footage shows Hamborsky courteously but persistently questioning a dozen federal contractors who are bustling around the tarmac overseeing migrants disembarking and boarding American Dream charter buses waiting on the tarmac between about 6:15 and 7 a.m.

Hamborsky ascertains that the plane arrived at 11:48 p.m. the previous night with 142 migrants on board.
Also on board were 12 "chaperones" — employees of MVM Inc., a controversial private security firm that was a major contractor for the CIA and the NSA in Iraq, and which last year signed a $136 million contract with the federal government to transport illegal migrants and unaccompanied children around the country.
The bodycam begins in the pre-dawn darkness at 6:09 a.m. when Hamborsky parks his squad car on the airfield next to the hangar of Ross Aviation, whose employees are assisting with refueling the plane.
Hamborsky asks to see the ID of the MVM contractors.

"I can give you my state ID," replies one man, "but work IDs we're not allowed to."
Hamborsky tells the contractors: "I'm just trying to figure out what's what, who's who and how I'm supposed to keep this secure."
The contractors start giving him the lanyards from around their necks.
One says: "We're not allowed to have our picture taken when we get on base".
"Un-f-king-believable," Hamborsky replies. "And who's that by? DHS [Department of Homeland Security]?"
"Yes, and the United States Army," is the reply. "You're on a federal installation but DHS wants everything on the down low."

Hamborsky asks another contractor why they come to a small airport like Westchester.
"You don't want to be in somewhere the spotlight is," is the reply. "You want to try and be as down low as possible. A lot of this is just down-low stuff that we don't tell people because what we don't want to do is attract attention. We don't want the media. Like we don't even know where we're going when they tell us."
Another contractor tells Hamborsky: "Listen, my thing is I like to comply but technically we're not supposed to show IDs or anything. Like I said, everything is supposed to be hush hush."
Hamborsky replies, with good-natured but mounting exasperation: "And if you don't, I could just not let you out . . .
"I don't care if it's military or not . . . we gotta know who people are. The way TSA [the federal Transportation Security Administration] works is we're supposed to have a certain designated number [of passengers] for each chaperone. Well, there's 60 kids out here and there's two guys.
"Two [migrants] grab their bags out here and next thing you know we could be playing tag all night.
"I have to take my shoes off when I get on a plane. These guys are grabbing their bags and getting on buses."
One of the bus drivers waiting for his migrant passengers to board tells Hamborsky he has no idea of his destination.
"They didn't tell you where it's going?" asks the cop.
The driver replies: "They never do."

Security problem
Hamborsky learns from one of the MVM contractors that Delaware and Virginia are two destinations. Later he is told two more buses are heading for Madison, NJ, with one continuing to Maryland.
"You're trying to figure out what this is?" asks one of the bus drivers. "Good luck with that."
Hamborsky replies: "You're on a secure facility here and we don't really know anything and we're in charge of security. Hence why we're having a problem here."
The driver sympathizes: "Yeah . . . I used to pick up basketball teams that have more security."

"100 percent," agrees Hamborsky. "We still don't know really what's happening, how they're getting here."
Meanwhile in the background, migrants can be seen picking up identical bags laid out on the tarmac and heading toward buses. Most look to be in their middle to late teens, although there are a few older adult males. They can be heard speaking Spanish.
The drivers say usually the buses are waiting when the migrant flights arrive. But this night "someone dropped the ball."
One says his boss rang him "in a panic" at 12:24 a.m., saying "we need four buses right away."
"We're a family-owned business," explains one driver. "We're subcontractors of a government contractor . . . It's one of those things you can't turn down because once you sign the contract, you're a slave to the grind."
Later in the bodycam recording, a contractor tells Hamborsky: "I get the whole secrecy and all that s-t but this is even above my f-king pay grade . . . the f- -k, you know what I mean?"
Hamborsky replies: "And why? You know why?"
The contractor replies: "You know why, look who's in office. That's why, come on."
Hamborsky says: "But what's the big secret?"
Contractor: "You know why. Because if this gets out, the government is betraying the American people."
He knows. Everyone knows that Americans don't want their country to be invaded by millions of illegal migrants. Hence the secrecy and lies from the Biden administration.

On Sunday there were leaked videos of a mass release of migrants into Brownsville Texas.
Biden is doing what the left has always dreamed of!
George Soros should be proud.
The ongoing illegal immigration crisis at the southern border, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton says, is an opportunity for the nation to unite, because “we’re in the fight of our lives.”
Paxton is hosting a two-day border summit for 12 state attorneys general in McAllen, Edinburg, Weslaco and Rio Grande City on Thursday and Friday.
Some of the attorneys general already have been to the southern border, and this summit will be another opportunity for them to meet with law enforcement officials from the Texas Department of Public Safety, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the Texas AG said. They will participate in round table discussions, and take a border wall tour and a boat tour on the Rio Grande River.
Paxton has been at the forefront of fighting President Joe Biden over the border crisis, having sued the administration over it seven times.
“Ill-conceived immigration policies created by the Biden Administration have wreaked havoc on our communities and placed a massive burden on our country,” Paxton said in a statement. “I want to thank our local, state and federal law enforcement officials and my fellow attorneys general, who attended the summit, for making this issue one of their top priorities. This affects them too. Every state in the country is a border state. I will not allow this looming crisis on the border to continue to bring violence, drug cartels, and human trafficking to our communities.”
The attorneys general attending the border summit are from Arkansas, Alaska, Florida, Indiana, Kansas, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Utah and West Virginia. All are Republicans.
Two of them attended a recent Texas Public Policy Foundation event in Austin to discuss actions they’ve taken against the Biden administration, why they’re supporting Paxton’s efforts, and how illegal immigration is impacting their states: Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes and Arkansas Attorney General Leslie Rutledge.
Rutledge argues that every area of life in Arkansas is being impacted by illegal immigration, especially with the amount of illicit fentanyl being trafficked north through Texas into Arkansas.
This impacts the state’s “overdose rates, it impacts our workforce, our education, our economy. Everything is negatively impacted because of the open border policies of the Biden administration,” she said. “But for the state of Texas using its resources and other states like those of Arkansas adding resources, we would not have as secure of a border as we have.”
Arkansas has successfully sued opioid manufacturers for their role in the drug crisis, she said, and the state’s put millions of dollars into education, awareness and law enforcement interdiction efforts. But “when you boil all the water out, we have to stop the influx of fentanyl and illegal drugs, even illegal prescription drugs from entering into our communities,” she said.
While Utah isn’t physically contiguous to the southern border with Texas, everything that Texas is dealing with, Reyes said, “is coming up to Utah. The amount of deaths we have to deal with are from fentanyl or fentanyl-laced drugs is increasing exponentially. There are enough drugs pouring in from the south to kill our entire nation many times over. It is that serious. It is that sobering.”
Reyes said he's visiting Texas again “because we all have to be working on this because the open border policy that we have in the Biden administration is allowing drugs and human trafficking to proliferate” and is “a clear and present danger and epidemic in our nation.”
The AGs were part of a group of 16 that called on Secretary of State Antony Blinken to take measures against the Chinese and Mexican governments for their role in trafficking illicit drugs into the U.S.
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas maintains the southern border is secure and the Biden administration’s approach to immigration is more humane than the Trump administration’s.
Customs and Border Protections reports that its agents made nearly 2 million enforcement actions against illegal immigrants, including known criminals, since Biden took office. In his first year in office, Biden didn’t visit the southern border, or Texas. He hasn’t yet responded to requests made by Texas lawmakers, both Republicans and Democrats, to close the border, or from Republican governors to consider solutions they offered.
“We’re in a fight for our freedom, for our lives,” Paxton said. The 27 lawsuits his office filed against the Obama administration in his first 27 months “pales in comparison to what we’re fighting now. It’s twice as aggressive at least,” he says.
“There’s a complete disregard for the U.S. Constitution. There’s a complete disregard for federal law. There’s a disregard for state’s rights. There’s a disregard for even court orders that come from the U.S. Supreme Court. One example is the Remain in Mexico program where we have fought and won over and over all the way up to the Supreme Court. Then the Biden administration just ignores the court orders. And they implement it for just barely 200 people a month when we have nearly 200,000 coming across every month.”
Paxton says state attorneys general are going to play a crucial role and “if we’re not all standing up right now, I’m convinced that we are going to lose our country.”
It's not just Texas. The feds are doing the same with illegals apprehended in Arizona and New Mexico as well. Fortunately, the area I live in on the border is rural small towns in the middle of the Sonoran Desert that many illegal cross to get into the US. They don't want to stay around here. They want the big metropolitan areas to the North, East, and West where they can disappear into the woodwork.
Same here in NM - buses coming through at night, from El Paso, heading North on I-25 or E/W on I-10/20 going to the big cities. Unfortunately, NM's gov has declared NM a "Sanctuary State" and will and does do anything she can to allow unfettered entry.
I wonder how many violations would arise if the DOT were called about these buses and a roadside inspection were to take place. I'm sure it would get shut down pretty quickly.
Wonder how many went/are going to Delaware?
yeeeeaaah right SMFH
Just the ones that Gov DeSantis is removing from Florida and forwarding to Joe's sometimes home state!
One more shady move by a shady President
Biden is Spreading the feral cats out by bus and by plane
I'm sure there are no criminals, terrorists, or Covid carriers amongst these fine young men
So what?
And WOOF!
I guess that explains why Biden doesn’t care if Russia invades Ukraine, he can’t even be bothered to protect our own borders.
NEW: We were on scene as ICE mass released another a large group of single adult male migrants at San Antonio airport this morning. A NGO escorted the men inside. It aired live on Fox News
People at the airport told us they’ve seen these mass ICE releases happening for months.
Wow more than three years of Decembers combined? THAT is bullshit.
It's easy when we have a president who breaks the law and let's everyone in. Power is everything to the left and the law means nothing. Where are the Republicans? Why aren't they screaming from the roof tops?
Don't tell me there are only 2 with the guts!
"The status of the promised investigation into horse-mounted Border Patrol agents accused by President Joe Biden of whipping migrants remains unknown more than four months later, and a report may never be released, DHS officials told me." ... Anna Giaritelli
Biden looked like an idiot for shooting his mouth off prematurely
Like Obama before him, he reacts to local news stories.
Yeah, and no one got a beer summit out of it either...
