Oh boy, the bats are flying from the belfries over H1-B visas. Both sides make good points and should listen to each other.

As we prepare to enter the new year, we’re taking you back to some of The Daily Wire’s best reporting from 2024. This article was originally published on August 2.  With more than 10 million illegal crossings recorded since President Biden and Vice President Harris took office, the southern border faces an unprecedented crisis. In a new documentary, The Daily Wire’s Kassy Akiva shows the chaos firsthand. Akiva embedded with Texas State troopers and toured the southern border by police cruiser, helicopter, and airboat. “Mexico’s Door,” now streaming on DailyWire+, brings viewers along for the ride, and highlights Texas’s ongoing efforts to protect the border after the Biden-Harris administration failed to do so. While in Eagle Pass, Texas, Akiva met with a migrant whose wife gave birth just after swimming across the Rio Grande, a rancher who has lost hundreds of thousands of dollars because migrants keep cutting his fences, and members of the Texas National Guard and state law enforcement officers on the front lines of defending America’s border. WATCH: Mexico’s Door: The Center of America’s Border Fight ‘Mexico’s Door’ was filmed after Governor Greg Abbott ordered Texas state troopers and the Texas National Guard to secure the southern border under Operation Lone Star. Among the officers Akiva meets are Texas State Trooper Jacklyn Gooding, who patrols the border in search of human smugglers and illegal immigrants. Gooding recounts arresting a smuggler last April who was wanted for murder. “It was a pursuit when I tried to stop the car initially, and we were able to capture the two individuals that were involved in the smuggling event, as well as all the undocumented individuals,” Gooding says. “The suspects were armed at the time: both of them had firearms, and the driver had an active warrant for murder out of Louisiana.” Reporter Kassy Akiva and Lt. Chris Olivarez speaking to a Venezuelan migrant who said his wife was taken by the National Guard to a hospital after going into labor. (Photo: The Daily Wire) Akiva encounters a Venezuelan migrant behind the razor wire fence who illegally swam across the Rio Grande while carrying a three-year-old. The migrant says the child belonged to his wife who went into labor and was transported to a hospital right after reaching the shore. Lt. Chris Olivarez from the Texas Department of Public Safety tells Akiva pregnant mothers commonly wait to cross the border until they are about to go into labor, to ensure their children become citizens. “To be that far in your pregnancy, they have to know more or less when she is going to give birth in order to cross on this side and cross here in the United States,” Olivarez says. “We see that a lot—where a lot of pregnant females who are coming across, they will wait, usually when they are about to give birth. Then they’ll cross into the United States and they’ll have the baby that same day. or they’ll have it right at the river as they are crossing.” Migrants on the U.S. side of the Rio Grande after crossing illegally from Mexico. (Photo: The Daily Wire) Olivarez added that migrants also use children in hopes that the troopers will be more willing to assist them in entering the country. “They use the children in those types of situations because they know there is a human side to us,” Olivarez said. Olivarez takes Akiva through the 47-acre Shelby Park, which was a focal point in the struggle between Texas and the Biden-Harris administration before Abbott took control of the park, barring federal agents from entry. Apprehensions of illegal migrants in the Del Rio sector, which includes Shelby Park, were at a high of 71,050 in December. It dropped to 16,710 in January when Abbott took control. Thirteen Republican governors joined Abbott at Shelby Park in February to support the governor’s ongoing feud with the Biden-Harris administration. Fourteen states have sent personnel to help Texas secure its border. Republican Governors join Texas Governor Greg Abbott for a briefing on the southern border / (Photo: The Daily Wire) Before the State of Texas controlled Shelby Park, the area saw about two thousand illegal border crossings a day, with many migrants swimming across the river and turning themselves in to Customs and Border Protection. But with Texas personnel on the scene, migrants are arrested for illegally trespassing into the park, told to swim back, or wait in hopes that border patrol picks them up. The area now averages about less than one encounter a week, according to Olivarez. Akiva takes an airboat tour of the Rio Grande with Florida and Texas state troopers, who say the border around the area of Eagle Pass averages about one drowning a day. Olivarez says Texas has stepped up the effort to prevent water crossings by putting up barriers, while the federal government has been reluctant to do so. While on the boat, Akiva’s team spots a raft staged on the shore of the Mexican side of the Rio Grande, presumably to transport migrants. Mexican troops removed the raft after they were alerted by Texas law enforcement. From a helicopter, Akiva spots hundreds of thousands of pieces of clothing that migrants take off after they finish their swim and place over the razor wire fences to avoid being cut while climbing over. Akiva concludes her trip by meeting Texas rancher Wayne King, who says he lost over $400,000 from migrants cutting thousands of holes in his fence, allowing his African and Indian exotic animals meant for recreational hunting to escape. Wayne King says local law enforcement has access to Tequesquite Ranch to arrest migrants for trespassing on private property. (Photo: The Daily Wire) “If they really wanted to do this right, why are they coming to my pastures?” King says. “Why are they destroying water troughs? Water lines, windmills, fences? Why are they doing that? Why don’t they just cross the bridge where they can get all of the government’s handouts and everything’s hunky dory?” King, who lives in a house on the 8,200-acre ranch, says he’s been woken up by migrants in the middle of the night. He says he is “tickled to death” that Abbott has stepped up to secure the border. “Abbott is doing his utmost best to protect us here on the border,” he says. “It’s just crazy. I mean, but what else do you want to call it when our state is trying to protect us, but yet our federal government is trying to stop the state from protecting us.”

"Outside the gate, was a grey sedan with two men and one woman dressed in black clothing. They were white-skinned and tall. They were not cops. They were not human."The following account was forwarded to me:“I’ve heard so much discussion about what kind of entities these “Men in Black” actually are, so I will share a personal experience from around 20 years ago. During this period, I experienced missing time lapses, had a distinct feeling of being watched, had paranormal-type occurrences happening in my house, and witnessed a flying UFO in broad sunlight.  Hope this puts it in perspective for you. For the record, I have always been a skeptic.During one very lucid dream experience, I time-traveled to 1964, years BEFORE I was even born, and met my parents and siblings. I came to their house dressed as a vacuum cleaner saleswoman (I won’t say which brand). The house in question, I was never there in person during my lifetime, nor did I remember any photos of it. My father, a younger-looking man, opened the door and invited me inside. My young mother was in the kitchen and came out to meet me. After a few minutes, my older brother, a baby at the time, was crying, so Mum took off to see him. My older sister, a toddler then, wanted to play outside. It was a sunny day outside.I sat talking to my own father as an adult. He seemed to know me from somewhere but didn’t recognize me (My father passed away when I was a child). This was a very intense, emotional, learning experience for me. My father discussed many things about wanting to move the family interstate and take a different career path. He mentioned how living in a small town with limited opportunities was holding him back. He wanted a better life for the family.  He was trying to convince my Mum. I told him to go ahead and do it, and that his wife would come around. For the record, we traveled a lot when I was growing up. My Mum came out and decided to buy the cleaner I was selling. On another note, she loved this brand so much, she kept buying these cleaners for years.I looked out the lounge room window. Outside the gate, was a grey sedan with two men and one woman dressed in black clothing. They were white-skinned and tall. They seemed annoyed that they could not enter the property for some reason, almost like an invisible barrier was between them. They were not cops. They were not human. They wanted me to come out because apparently traveling backward on your own timeline is forbidden by this construct we live in. That’s what my higher self received. All I knew, was to avoid them getting to me.I managed to get away and awoke from the lucid dream with the memory intact. They still try to keep tabs on me today. One attacked me during my sleep, and as I woke up, kicking at him, he was standing in my bedroom and slowly faded from view. I still remember him as a tall, thin, black silhouette with red eyes. My bed covers were on the other side of my room. I could clearly see him with my eyes wide open. I don’t believe that they are aliens from another planet. I believe they are inter-dimensional programs. They play some kind of role keeping us trapped in the construct. Think of them like Agent Smith from the Matrix movies. Their appearance is a hologram, an illusion. They keep us trapped to feed on our life energy. They don’t like us waking up and seeing the truth. If we wake up, others can too. That will destroy their power structure on Earth. So when a person awakens, they try to drive them into depression, suicide, insanity, prison, substance abuse, or discredit them publicly, so that nobody will listen to them, and they cannot awaken others. Sometimes, mysteriously, these poor people disappear or turn up dead, usually “suicided”, “overdosed”, “tragic accident”, “unexplained homicide”, etc.There is something unique about my family bloodline because they have been tracking us for centuries, forcing us to keep moving to new places. It has something to do with an awakening on a mass scale, and they fear this more than anything else, and they are terrified of humans who see through the illusions. They are some type of controllers, sentient AI programs, and they have downloaded themselves into the grid of our planet and atmosphere. These are the creatures that the elites serve. This is what CERN is opening the portals for. Once they succeed in dominating us, they will stop at nothing. It will literally become Hell on Earth. I do know my family bloodline was sworn to fight them. Other than that, most has come from my direct experience. I have always seen them and called them the “shadow people.”I know many people won’t agree or will think I’m crazy. I don’t care. There are many people, like me, who are finding themselves caught up in a battle with these creatures, unaware.  Hope this sheds some light to the knowledge that is already out there."

"We began to smell something terrible, like burning bone and hair. It was the worst stench I've ever experienced. The smell got worse as we kept hiking."I received the following account:"Hi. Lon. I really enjoy reading your blog! Maybe you can use my story.My dad and I were hunting in the Bitterroot Range north of Idaho City, Idaho. It was about twilight and we were hiking back to the car. We began to smell something terrible, like burning bone and hair. It was the worst stench I've ever experienced. The smell got worse as we kept hiking.We could hear what we thought was someone or something running at a great rate of speed from behind us. My dad grabbed me, held my face to his chest, and dropped to the ground. I held close to him as the running got louder. Dad readied his rifle. I heard him say, "Oh no. Son, stand up. Walk with me. Look at the ground." Terrified I stood. Stupid me turned around and looked. There was the remains of an elk. The head looked like it had been put in a blast furnace. The hair on the body was all singed. The hooves looked melted. The running sound was gone.We moved closer to the car. It was now nearly dark. About 100 yards from the car, we heard the running again and we froze. All of a sudden the forest lit up like noonday. We heard a very loud whoosh, and it was gone. The forest was dark. It was quiet. Dead still. We booked it to the car, threw our gear in the back seat, and drove. I kept my head down and just cried. Dad was stoic and silent. Halfway out of the woods, we saw the light again. Bright as ever. But just for a second. And then it was gone again.We made it back to Idaho City and stopped at the Gold Mine Grill to regroup. We went inside and there was another hunter in there who was excited and loud. He looked at us and said, "Y'all see that bright light?" Then he became quiet, stared, and drank.Ever since that incident (about 10 years ago) my dad and I have wondered about the experience." I**********ALIEN ENCOUNTERS!

"He walked to the crest of the hill and saw an enormous white creature standing on two feet, taking large logs, and throwing them over its head to bang it off of tree trunks to make the loud noise."I received the following account:" Hello. When I was little my family owned a cabin on a lake in rural Appalachian Kentucky. It was pretty remote at the time though it's been more heavily developed over the past 10 years.Anyways, when we would go to the cabin we would often go for picnics in a huge field at the edge of a farmer's field. One day we set up our picnic spot at the edge of a very steep hill. At the bottom of the hill, the field met the tree line of a very large forest. I was too young to remember everything that happened but this is what I was told by my sister and my parents. We were sitting on the field eating when my dad heard a really loud banging coming from the bottom of the hill where the tree line met the field. He walked to the crest of the hill and saw an enormous white creature standing on two feet, taking large logs, and throwing them over its head to bang it off of tree trunks to make the loud noise. He showed my mom, she saw it, and we decided to pack up and leave. They were creeped out.Now my parents are very sane and rational people so they never really talked about it out of fear of sounding insane. No one really wants to claim they saw a Bigfoot.Well, about four years ago we were having Christmas with my aunt and her family who would also frequent a cabin on the same lake. We ended up talking about the cabin and were sharing memories when my aunt said she had an absolutely unbelievable story that she had never shared with anyone besides my uncle. She would always make wild blackberry jam in the fall so she would often go picking for blackberries. One day she said she thought she saw a bear in the distance eating blackberries and that it scared the hell out of her but she continued to pick and watched it in the distance for a while. Well, eventually the thing she thought was a bear stood up, revealed its white coat of hair, and walked away on two feet into the woods.Obviously, we immediately shared our story and everyone was in awe that we had seen the same thing at approximately the same time, in the late 1980s.I decided to do a little research and it turns out there were a ton of sightings of this thing in the late 80s and someone was actually so convinced that what he saw was Bigfoot that he dedicated the rest of his life to finding it again. You can look it up. There are numerous reports of people seeing this thing around the time my family saw it.I am not sure I really believe that this guy found the Bigfoot again, but he claims he found three of them together, two big and brown and one with thick white fur, an exact description of what my parents and aunt independently confirmed.I don't really know what to think. The rational part of me knows it probably wasn't Bigfoot, but I respect everyone in my family's sanity and intellect and everyone was convinced that what they saw was not a bear and was covered in thick white fur and walked on two legs. I don't know how you can explain that away." WNOTE: The submitter refused to give the exact location or the county of the cabin since other members of the family still frequent it.
