'At least keeping an open door to Donald Trump'

DAILY CALLER NEWS FOUNDATION—A United Nations agency expressed “profound concern” on Monday over the Biden administration’s updated asylum restrictions along the U.S-Mexico border. President Joe Biden on Monday updated an executive order that will help keep in place asylum restrictions and control the number of unlawful crossings at the southern border. However, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees condemned the move in a public statement and called on the White House to reconsider. “UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, restates its profound concern as the U.S. government moves to make permanent its June 2024 asylum regulation,” Matthew Reynolds, UNHCR representative to the U.S. and the Caribbean, stated. “The regulation severely curtails access to protection for people fleeing conflict, persecution, and violence, putting many refugees and asylum-seekers in grave danger without a viable option for seeking safety.” “Every person seeking asylum must be granted access to safety and afforded the opportunity to have their claims individually and fairly assessed before deportation or removal,” Reynolds continued. “Limiting or blocking such access is a violation of international refugee law and the humanitarian principles to which the United States has long been a leader.” Biden in June issued a presidential proclamation that aimed to control the number of daily unlawful border crossings by suspending the entry of foreign nationals across the U.S.-Mexico border after the number of average border encounters exceeded 2,500 a day over a week time period. The executive order was meant to stay in effect until two weeks after there had been a seven-day average of fewer than 1,500 encounters along the southern border. However, the order has proven incredibly effective at controlling the border crisis, and the administration is aiming to keep the controls in place as the presidential election nears. Biden on Monday tweaked the threshold at which the partial asylum ban would be deactivated, making it more difficult for federal officials to do away with the order. Under the changes, the threshold for deactivating the asylum restrictions would only happen after the seven-day average remains below 1,500 for 28 days. Despite the suggestion in the UNHCR’s statement, a vast number of illegal immigrants encountered by Border Patrol agents are not from countries that are experiencing conflict. Hundreds of thousands of Mexican nationals appear between ports of entry along the southern border annually—along with similar encounters by Guatemalan, Honduran, Salvadoran, and other nationals from stable countries, according to Customs and Border Protection data. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas in May acknowledged in a media interview that there are migrants who are out to “game” the asylum system. “The reality is that some people do indeed try to game the system,” Mayorkas admitted to CBS News at the time. “That does not speak to everyone whom we encounter, but there is an element of it, and we deal with it accordingly.” Originally published by the Daily Caller News Foundation The post ‘Profound Concern’: UN Refugee Agency Claims US Border Rules Are Too Tough appeared first on The Daily Signal.

Zelensky: Putin is 'Afraid' to Use Nukes

On Tuesday afternoon, the major broadcast networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC each interrupted regular programming of daytime talk shows, game shows, and soap operas for coverage of Iran’s massive onslaught of missile attacks against Israel, particularly in the Tel Aviv metro area. While the networks largely behaved and stuck to the facts and the fear being inflicted on innocent Israelis, there were a few points of pro-Iran idiocy and attempts to both-sides the wider conflict. ABC senior national correspondent Matt Gutman had an incredible take that seemed to praise Iran for firing missiles, but not that maximum casualties would be inflicted (even though it was the work of Israel, the U.S., and others in the region shooting them down).     “We don't exactly know what is in the mind of the Iranian regime right now. We do know that they feel humiliated after the round of attacks by Israel on Iranian assets across the Middle East...Iran clearly felt like it needed some sort of response,” he began. Without evidence, Gutman then offered his veiled kudos for shooting off missiles at night and possibly toward military sites: What does seem apparent, though, is that they broadcast that they were targeting military bases, military installations, and that the attacks coming later at night. It means there's probably less traffic. It seems that they are also trying to mitigate possible civilian casualties. Seems — we don't know that for sure, but that was the modus operandi in the previous attack as well, which came overnight. Unclear exactly what is in the mind of Iran, but clearly they are trying to send a message to Israel. An hour later, Gutman corrected himself and acknowledged they were widespread. Chief foreign correspondent Ian Pannell tried to both-sides the conflict, first boasting many in Lebanon “who are pro-Hezbollah will say this is payback for Israel and it will be many other people in Iraq as well, and in Syria and probably in Yemen who also share that view. And they will feel emboldened by this.” He added the fear Israel’s response, not the missiles launched Tuesday, “could be...the start of something much bigger” and an even “wider conflict[.]” Towards the end of ABC’s Special Report, contributor Steve Ganyard coyly predicted the Biden-Harris administration won’t do much to enable an Israeli response so as not “to upset domestic politics”, which was code for not upsetting Arab Americans and far-left college-age voters. Over on NBC, Meet the Press moderator Kristen Welker was twice brought in for analysis on how the missile attacks could reshape Tuesday’s vice presidential debate. On both occasions (second appearance below), Welker defended the Biden-Harris regime from criticisms (i.e. reality) that this was only the latest world crisis to happen on their watch: NBC’s Kristen Welker defends Biden’s foreign policy: “I think foreign policy would have been a big part of the debate...The line of attacks from former President Trump, likely from Senator JD Vance is going to be that this wouldn’t have happened if he was in office.

Longtime CBS foreign correspondent Elizabeth Palmer — who infamously said just over nine years ago that Iranians go about “chanting death to America” with “more habit than conviction” — complained that, because of whatever Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Israeli military plans in terms of retaliation, events marking one since the October 7 terror attacks would be muted: CBS’s Elizabeth Palmer: “Hundreds of thousands of Isrealis have been demonstrating most nights, telling Netanyahu, they are not happy...and they would like to see a deal with Hamas.

While NBC’s Gabe Gutierrez seemed to argue this as a major inflection point in the success or failure Biden’s foreign policy, ABC’s Mary Bruce went the other direction by twice impressing upon viewers that President Biden and Vice President Harris had a firm grasp on the situation: ABC's Mary Bruce insists President Biden and Vice President Harris "are monitoring all of this extremely closely" and had meetings --- MEETINGS --- this morning.
