Border authorities have already reportedly encountered more than a million illegal migrants since the fiscal year began in October‚ the soonest they have ever hit that milestone. This year’s number is about 100‚000 encounters higher than the 908‚000 migrants border authorities encountered over the same period last year‚ Customs and Border Protection (CBP) sources told Fox News. BREAKING: CBP sources say… Encountered more than 1 Million migrants since Oct 1 (FY24) – earliest to ever reach milestone. Last FY23‚ 909K at same time – difference of more than Sun's Super Bowl. Notable: 19‚600+ Chinese migrants so far this FY24… vs37k/FY23 total @FoxNews — Griff Jenkins (@GriffJenkins) February 7‚ 2024 Chinese migrants in particular have spiked‚ quickly becoming the fastest growing group of migrants crossing the border. A total of more than 37‚000 Chinese migrants were apprehended last fiscal year. This year‚ border authorities have already reportedly encountered about 20‚000 since October or about 150 Chinese migrants per day. Border crossings have continued to spike in recent months. In December‚ authorities encountered 302‚000 migrants at the border‚ the highest monthly total on record and the first time the total has ever topped 300‚000. Overall last year‚ 2.5 million migrants were apprehended crossing or trying to cross the southern border‚ according to the CBP. Meanwhile‚ more than 96‚000 “known gotaways‚” migrants who were detected but not caught‚ have reportedly crossed the southern border since October 1. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Meanwhile‚ Texas has sent at least 100‚000 migrants to sanctuary cities including New York City‚ Chicago‚ Denver‚ Philadelphia‚ and Washington‚ D.C.‚ which are struggling to provide resources for them. New York City is scrambling to metabolize the nearly 175‚000 migrants who have arrived since spring 2022. Last week‚ a group of migrants was arrested‚ but then quickly released for allegedly beating NYPD officers near Times Square. Denver is in the process of booting 800 families from overcrowded shelters this week. A bipartisan border deal crumbled in the Senate on Wednesday after bleeding Republican support and facing criticism from former President Donald Trump‚ the GOP’s presidential frontrunner. The $118 billion deal would have tightened asylum requirements‚ shut down the southern border if immigrant encounters hit certain levels‚ and sent billions of dollars to not only the border‚ but Ukraine‚ Israel‚ and Taiwan. On Monday‚ Trump said the “ridiculous” border bill is “nothing more than a highly sophisticated trap for Republicans to assume the blame on what the Radical Left Democrats have done to our Border‚ just in time for our most important EVER Election.” “Don’t be STUPID!” Trump posted on Truth Social. House Republicans also tried and failed to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas over his handling of the border crisis in a vote on Tuesday. However‚ Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) vowed Republicans will keep trying and successfully impeach Mayorkas despite the “setback.”

  In a bold move that underscores the growing tensions between labor and management in the aerospace industry‚ Boeing’s largest union has drawn a line in the sand. The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM)‚ representing a significant workforce of 32‚000 Seattle-area Boeing mechanics‚ is demanding a substantial 40% pay increase over the next three to four years. This comes after a 2014 agreement that saw workers sacrifice pensions and endure capped wages‚ a deal that many now view as a concession too far. The union’s firm stance arrives at a time when Boeing is already grappling with the fallout from its 737 MAX planes’ safety issues. These problems have not only tarnished the company’s reputation but also raised serious questions about its commitment to quality and safety. The recent midair cabin panel blowout on an Alaska Airlines MAX 9 jet in January has only added fuel to the fire‚ prompting increased scrutiny from lawmakers and the flying public alike. Proud “union-buster” Nikki Haley sat on Boeing’s board of directors for 10 months. She was paid $340‚000. Based on typical board hours‚ that’s an hourly wage of about $1‚360. This‚ along with lobbyists rigging our tax code‚ is how corporate greed is ruining our economy. pic.twitter.com/2vxEbSZKNT — Americans For Tax Fairness (@4TaxFairness) February 5‚ 2024 Jon Holden‚ president of IAM District 751‚ has made it clear that the union is prepared for a work stoppage if their demands are not met. With contract talks looming on the horizon‚ the possibility of a strike threatens to shut down Boeing plants in Washington and Oregon‚ which would include assembly lines for the highly profitable 737 jets. Such an action could deliver a significant blow to Boeing’s operations and financial health. Boeing’s response to the union’s demands has been muted‚ with no immediate comment offered in the wake of the union’s announcement. However‚ the company has previously expressed its intention to bargain in good faith later in the year. This standoff comes at a particularly challenging time for Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun‚ who is tasked with steering the company through one of the most turbulent periods in its history. Boeing’s largest union is set to demand a 40% pay raise by 2028‚ a labor dispute 10 years in the making and coming on the heels of its near-catastrophe on an airborne 737 Max jet‚ according to reports. https://t.co/v5qPEVtRja https://t.co/OIHH762Gn7 — NEWSMAX (@NEWSMAX) February 6‚ 2024 In an effort to address these quality concerns‚ Boeing recently paused production with a one-day ‘Quality Stand Down’. This was an attempt to evaluate and improve safety within the manufacturing process. Despite this‚ shares of Boeing saw an uptick‚ suggesting investor confidence or perhaps a market detached from the underlying labor strife. Meanwhile‚ the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has taken a more hands-on approach in the wake of the recent safety incidents. FAA Administrator Mike Whitaker has acknowledged that “the current system is not working” and has committed to maintaining inspectors at Boeing facilities for regular surveillance. This increased oversight indicates a federal acknowledgment of the need for systemic change within Boeing’s operations. The union’s push for a significant pay raise is emblematic of a broader labor movement that seeks to rectify past concessions and secure better compensation for workers. It reflects a growing sentiment among workers that their contributions to corporate success are undervalued and that the time has come for a rebalancing of the scales. As Boeing and its largest union brace for what could be a protracted negotiation‚ the outcome will have far-reaching implications not just for the company and its employees‚ but for the aerospace industry as a whole. The question remains: will Boeing acknowledge the winds of change and meet the demands of its workforce‚ or will it face the consequences of a potential strike that could further disrupt its already precarious position? Only time will tell‚ but one thing is certain—the eyes of the world are watching.   The post Boeing’s Largest Union Stands Firm on 40% Pay Raise Amid Company Turmoil appeared first on The Conservative Brief.
