Chief Patrol Agent Scott told New Day his sector had to bring in several hundred border patrol agents from around the country to help with the current crisis.

Patrol Agent Scott: What I find unconscionable was that people would purposely take children into this situation. What we saw over and over yesterday was that people would purposely push women and children to the front and then begin basically rocking our agents.

ILLEGAL KILLS 6TH GRADE TEACHER IN THANKSGIVING DAY HIT-AND-RUN

Illegal Kills 6th Grade Teacher in Thanksgiving Day Hit-and-Run

American family observes tragic Thanksgiving due to illegal alien

Adan Salazar | Infowars.com – NOVEMBER 26, 2018

A family in West Texas suffered their worst Thanksgiving ever after an illegal immigrant slammed into their daughter, leaving her dead at the scene.

The incident happened on Thanksgiving morning around 2AM in El Paso.

Sixth-grade teacher Mandy Ferguson Weyant, 28, was using a crosswalk at the corner of Cincinnati and Mesa Street when 24-year-old Joel Velazquez ran a red light.

“That’s when he hit Amanda ‘Mandy’ Ferguson Weyant, who was in the crosswalk, and took off. Police later found his vehicle abandoned on Cincinnati,” reports KFOXTV.com.

Weyant’s family was devastated and blamed Velazquez for destroying their family.

“He’s destroyed my family. My daughter, Mandy, was the glue that held my family in place, she was my everything,” her father Dan Ferguson told local media.

Ferguson was further frustrated by the fact Velazquez fled the scene and didn’t help his daughter.

“I saw where my daughter was hit and where her body was 50 feet from the point of contact. He didn’t even attempt to stop to render aid,” he told KFOX.

The fire department reached out to Ferguson on Saturday to inform him Velazquez had turned himself in.

Moreover, the family learned he was in the country illegally and was out on bond stemming from a 2017 assault.

“It just doesn’t add up, it doesn’t seem to be fair,” Ferguson said.

“Everything was perfect in her life and to have it all taken and senselessly destroyed this is something no parent should go through.”

Students, faculty, friends and family on Friday held a candlelight vigil for Mandy, who had taught at Eastwood Heights Elementary school for five years.

Velazquez’s bond was set at $125,000, but an ICE immigration detainer ensures he will not be eligible for bail.

The tragic event comes as the immigration issue takes the front seat, with illegal migrants from Central America storming the US border at Tijuana.

CARAVAN MIGRANTS DODGE TIJUANA JOBS HOPING TO ENTER US

Caravan Migrants Dodge Tijuana Jobs Hoping to Enter US

Reportedly 10,000 jobs available to integrate migrants into local economy

Deutsche Welle – NOVEMBER 23, 2018

With many migrants stranded in Tijuana, local authorities are trying to offer them jobs in the Mexican border town.

But most migrants are determined to reach the US. Tobias Käufer reports from Tijuana.

Jose Rodriguez from Siguatepeque in Honduras has been carrying his white flag for more than 3,000 kilometers now. “I have two kids in Honduras. I want them to have a better life,” the 29-year-old tells DW. The white flag has become the symbol of the migrant caravan, which started from the Honduran city of San Pedro Sula on October 12 with the aim of reaching the US. “The flag symbolizes that we mean no harm, and that we have good intentions,” Rodriguez explains.

“Let Us Cross”

On Thursday, Jose Rodriguez, his companions and their flags reach El Chaparral in Tijuana, the main border point from Tijuana, Mexico, into the US. That day, 300 migrants are camped here, demanding that US authorities accept their requests for asylum. “We can’t wait any longer,” the migrants shout, “let us cross.”

Mexican security forces, meanwhile, have cordoned off the area and blocked the main access road, causing traffic chaos in the Mexican border town of Tijuana because cross-border traffic is especially heavy on Thanksgiving, the US holiday.

Many Tijuana locals, meanwhile, are fed up with the migrants. Some sport red President  Donald Trump-like baseball caps reading “Make Tijuana great again”. Last Sunday, about 1,000 locals gathered to protest against the influx if migrants, chanting “No to invasion, yes to migration.” Many Mexicans cheered them on. Local media report that an additional 7,000 migrants are set to arrive in the coming week.

Muddy Camps

The 5,000 migrants who have already made it to Tijuana with the first caravan from Honduras are struggling, the atmosphere is tense.

“It’s chaos, Jose Rodriguez says. “There is no coordination, no one is leading us. We all just start running around when a rumor starts circulating,” he adds.

Heavy rains have made conditions in the camp even worse. The Benito Juarez sports arena, where the makeshift camp has been set up, is turning into a muddy swamp. Most migrants have to sleep in the open, and many are sick. The catastrophic conditions are particularly hard on the 1,000 children there.caravan

10,000 Jobs Available

Meanwhile, the regional government is doing what it can to integrate the migrants into the local economy. Luis Rodolfo Enriquez runs a kind of job agency near the emergency camp.

“In the first couple of days, only a few dozen came to find out about vacancies,” he tells DW. But soon, he adds, they came to trust him, and more migrants inquired about work. There are some 10,000 unfilled vacancies in Tijuana. Enriquez is convinced that half the migrants can get a job if they want. He says people with and without qualifications have a chance of getting work.

Although Rodolfo Enriquez’ recruitment agency is an improvised operation, everything is well-organized. There are plastic chairs and wooden tables. Employers can meet potential workers, and down the hall, immigration councilors issue temporary work permits. All over the city, shops display signs reading “staff wanted.”.

Trying to Ease the Tensions

Mexican authorities have been working hard to placate angry migrants demanding to enter the US. At the border crossing, one of them tells the migrants that Tijuana has plenty of job opportunities. But most migrants are determined to reach the US.

Jose Rodriguez remains optimistic that he will make it across the border, no matter how hard the circumstances. “I cannot give up hope, I want a better future for my children. That’s why I won’t give up.”

As night falls, tensions flare up in El Chaparral. A few dozen migrants insist on spending the night at the border crossing throughout the night.

While the migrants discuss their situation after nightfall, they watch as TV screens nearby show US President Donald Trump – subtitled in Spanish – explain that he plans to shut the entire US-Mexico border if the situation gets out of control.

This is followed by a report on Mexican TV that another group of migrants had left the makeshift camp in Mexico City. Their destination: The United States of America.

Brussels Officials Ordered to Avoid Public Park After Slew of Migrant Attacks

By Dan Lyman

Government employees have been ordered to avoid walking near a Brussels park during their work commute after a slew of robberies and attacks by migrants in recent weeks, according to local media.

Since October 1st, at least seven public workers have been ambushed while passing through Maximilian Park en route from a nearby transit station to the Flemish Administrative Center, Der Standaard reports.

“Given the current social context and the dark days, it is best for your safety to avoid the Maximilian Park and to focus on well-lit main roads,” civil servants were advised, according to SCEPTR.

Government employees union ACOD has instructed members to either make the journey via a provided shuttle bus service, or take a taxi, asserting that prior warnings about the increasing danger have drawn ridicule.

“We were painted as ridiculous before,” says AOCD representative Jan Van Wesemael. “But these new incidents show that we were right and that the environment is dangerous. I hope that officials will use that shuttle bus as much as possible.”

SCEPTR journalist Tom Lallemand recently posted a video of the park and its inhabitants on social media, writing, “Hundreds of illegal immigrants sleep or wander around in Maximilian Park Brussels, harrowing.”

Monique De Ceuster, 57, was a recent victim, suffering a cracked elbow during a gang robbery.

“I was on my way to the station on Tuesday evening when I was attacked from behind,” De Ceuster told Der Standaard. “Three men pulled off my handbag and backpack and pushed me to the ground.”

Press TV reported that some 500 mostly-African migrants were living in Maximilian Park as of March, noting that the majority were not even applying for asylum “for fear of being deported.”

Soros foundation takes aim at Facebook, calls for congressional oversight

The head of billionaire George Soros’ foundation called for congressional oversight of Facebook, after the social media giant finally took some responsibility for hiring a PR firm to smear its critics as agents of Soros.

“So @facebook decides to drop a turkey on Thanksgiving eve, with admission that Definers was tasked by company leadership to target and smear George Soros because he publicly criticized their out of control business model. Sorry, but this needs independent, congressional oversight,” Open Society Foundations head Patrick Gaspard tweeted on Wednesday night.

Gaspard was responding to an admission by Facebook’s outgoing Head of Communications and Policy Elliot Schrage, who owned up top hiring a PR firm – Washington, DC-based Definers – to attack Facebook’s critics and label them agents of Soros, a billionaire and prominent liberal donor.

In a blog post, Schrage admitted that he tasked Definers with pushing the Soros angle, namely that the billionaire was funding the activist group ‘Freedom from Facebook.’

After learning that Soros did in fact fund some of the group’s members, Schrage said Definers “prepared documents and distributed these to the press to show that this was not simply a spontaneous grassroots movement.” Schrage maintained that Facebook did not ask Definers to create ‘fake news,’ despite a former employee telling NBC that Definers had its own “in-house fake news shop” to spread its message.

The relationship was revealed in an explosive New York Times report last week that accused Facebook’s senior leadership of mismanaging a multitude of scandals, from ‘Russian interference’ in the 2016 election to the Cambridge Analytica privacy debacle earlier this year.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and COO Sheryl Sandberg both denied any knowledge of the company’s hiring of Definers, despite an official statement describing the relationship between Facebook and Definers as “well known in the media.”

Soros’ associates have been relentless in calling for change at Facebook, even since before the New York Times’ story broke. In January, Soros himself called Facebook and other Silicon Valley tech “monopolies” a “menace” to society whose “days are numbered.” Last week, Michael Vachon, an adviser to the chair at Soros Fund Management, called on Facebook to undertake an audit of all of its lobbying and PR relationships.

Nor were they buying Zuckerberg’s protestations of innocence.

“I find it hard to believe that one would go after someone like George Soros…without some clearance at the highest levels,” Gaspard told CNN on Tuesday night.

Zuckerberg appears to be holding firm, though. In his own interview with CNN on Tuesday, the 34-year-old CEO issued his trademark style of meandering, deflective denial when host Laurie Segall asked if he knew anything about the affair.

“Well…uhh…I learned about this when I read the report as well…I don’t think this point was about a specific PR firm, it was about how we act. That’s why I think it’s not just important what we’re doing with this one firm, but that we go through and look at all of the different PR firms and folks we work with,” Zuckerberg replied.

After spending much of the year apologizing for one privacy screw-up after another, Zuckerberg is once again back in the spotlight. Despite falling stock prices, shareholder moves to oust him, and now Soros’ wealth and influence pushing against him, Zuckerberg was defiant.

Asked whether he’d ever step down as Facebook’s chairman – Zuckerberg is both chairman and CEO of the company – he replied “that’s not the plan.”

“There are certainly going to be issues that we need to work through over time,” Zuckerberg continued. “But I think that while we are doing that, we can’t lose sight of all of the really positive things that are happening here as well.”
