Human smuggler, five illegals caught being transported in a requested Uber

An Uber driver was caught in the middle of a human smuggling incident when he was requested via the app to pick up a client at one location, and simply drop them off at another.

The two locations requested by the client were parking lots near the Rio Grande. While driving the passengers, the driver was pulled over for a simple traffic violation.

However, “During a roadside interview, the trooper determined that the five passengers in the rear seat and cargo area were Mexican illegal immigrants” reports Fox News.

Fox News added that authorities said transnational criminal organizations have been expanding their reach and their smuggling methods as they seek to get more illegal immigrants into the U.S.

“Criminal Smuggling Organizations have been able to expand their criminal enterprise and further exploit illegal immigrants for profit,” Texas DPS said in a statement. “Human smuggling has increased drastically, and criminals are advancing their smuggling methods involving vehicles, commercial trucks, trains, planes, and ride shares involving Uber. Human smuggling is a multibillion-dollar trade and more profitable than drug smuggling.”

In a statement, Uber said human trafficking and smuggling are “global issues with devastating impacts on communities.”

“Rideshare is not immune to these societal challenges, which is why we continue to do our part to raise awareness through education which can help drivers spot the signs of human trafficking and report it,” a spokesperson said. “Also, drivers can cancel trips if they feel unsafe, and we have a dedicated Public Safety Team ready to assist law enforcement with their investigation.”

Biden-Harris Administration Brought in More ‘Parole Migrants’ Than Jobs Created in October

Published

Over 50,000 “Parole migrants” were welcomed into the United States by the Biden Administration’s Office of Field Operations (OFO) at the ports of entry along the border in October. They are flown or bused into the U.S. for jobs; despite the economic slowdown. In September, only 12,000 additional jobs were created, which was one-ninth of the 112,500 new jobs that were expected, reports Breitbart.

In addition to the ‘parole migrants’ an additional 56,580 migrants– including many women and children – crossed the border illegally and were registered by the Border Patrol. Some will be deported.

Biden’s deputies also welcomed at least 150,000 legal immigrants, foreign temporary workers, and refugees.  “More illegal aliens crossed our border last week than jobs added for all of October,” said a tweet from Rep. Tom Tiffany (R-WI). “That’s Kamalonomics,” he added, as he blamed Kamala Harris who dodged an oversight over over migration in March 2021.

Breitbart adds:

Also, the inflow of migrants ensures that employers can ignore the large population of at least 5 million working-age American men who have fallen out of the workforce.

Instead of finding, training, and paying those of the discarded American men — many of who are overweight, alienated, addicted, and lazy — the CEOs can now make more money by bussing more of Mayorkas’ healthy, indebted, compliant migrants into their low-tech workplaces.

Moreover, if Biden had not extracted migrants from poor countries — such as Venezuela or Ecuador — more U.S. workers would have been hired by CEOs to help trade with the people in poor countries. The lopsided October numbers are a PR glitch for Biden and his deputies, such as his pro-migration border chief, Alejandro Mayorkas.

In September, Mayorkas spoke at a public event in Texas where he championed his policy of importing more migrants for jobs that would otherwise go to Americans at higher wages:

We look to the north, with Canada. Canada takes a look at its market needs, and it says, “You know what? We need 700,000 foreign workers to address our labor needs domestically.” And, so, they build a visa system for that year to address the current market condition. And they say, “We’re going to bring in a million people.” And it’s market sensitive.

We [in the United States] are dealing with numerical caps on labor-driven visas that were set in 1996. It’s 2024. The world has changed. It is remarkable how there can be [elite] agreement that [the visas system] is broken and not have an agreement on a solution. The country is suffering as a result of it. Communities have “blossomed by reason of the infusion of individuals from another country,” Mayorkas said.
