Texas Invasion, Arizona Audit… Hopes For These Events To Provide Greater Insights Today

By DEXTER DUGGAN

PHOENIX — Greater understanding of two issues under the Joe Biden administration was taking shape in the Southwest that affect the entire U.S. — the massive invasion by unauthorized entrants, and 2020 election integrity.
It already generally was understood that Biden’s intentional welcoming of unlimited illegal aliens had exploded a crisis as he quickly reversed Donald Trump’s border policies. However, the sudden massing of Haitians at one small city, Del Rio, Texas, in mid-September illustrated the surreptitious control and management of a presumably chaotic situation.
Foreign cartels pretty much controlled all illegal entry into the U.S. Southwest, reaping huge profits for more of their criminal activity. But why should Haitians who already had settled into South American countries suddenly converge by the thousands in a shantytown under one bridge into Texas with the expectation that the U.S. must admit them?
Fox News doggedly illustrated the size of the bridge crowd, 15,000 or more people living in squalor, with aerial photography by drone and helicopter. The secretive Biden administration tried to prevent the embarrassing photos aloft but had to back down.
The cartels might be seen as a sort of illicit highway patrol that controls human-traffic movement.
National radio talk host Glenn Beck told his audience on September 22, “The cartels are making a fortune off the Biden policy” after people go through terrible suffering and having waited a decade in South America.
This was their moment, Beck said, because of Biden.
Commentator Tucker Carlson said on Fox News on September 22 this isn’t a disaster for Texas but for the entire country.
Meanwhile, the widely anticipated audit report on the 2020 presidential election in Phoenix’s Maricopa County that had been ordered by the Arizona State Senate was scheduled to be released on September 24, the day after this hardcopy issue of The Wanderer went to press. The Wanderer will have a full report on the results in next week’s issue.
The audit was seen as an important inquiry into the integrity of balloting that supposedly gave Arizona’s electoral votes by a small margin to Biden, the favorite of the Arizona establishment.
The Grand Canyon State was one of a few states that could have swung national presidential re-election to incumbent Trump if there wasn’t possibly questionable counting.
The majority-Republican State Senate persistently pursued having the audit despite the strong opposition of the majority-Republican Maricopa County Board of Supervisors.
In a shocking development shortly before September 24, GOP Supervisor Steve Chucri announced he was resigning in early November after a national conservative website, Gateway Pundit, revealed he privately had criticized the election’s integrity early this year.
Chucri’s public position was that he stood in agreement with the other four supervisors in defending the election’s honesty. However, on September 21, Gateway Pundit’s Jordan Conradson posted an article under a headline saying Chucri thought the election was done with dead people voting and ballot harvesting.
He didn’t deny making such statements. However, announcing his resignation, Chucri said, “The comments I made were during a very turbulent time. My colleagues have every right to be both angry and disappointed with me. I should not have made such statements and offer my colleagues heartfelt apologies.”
An Associated Press story on September 22 said that in announcing the resignation, Chucri said he didn’t believe the election was stolen and that Biden did win Arizona.
The Gateway Pundit and Conradson have been out in front on reporting audit developments here while the establishment’s Phoenix-based Arizona Republic newspaper repeatedly cast scorn on the audit and the idea that Trump won.
Conservative GOP political consultant Constantin Querard told The Wanderer on September 22 that it looked bad for Chucri to resign after the Gateway Pundit report.
“I think it’s a terrible look for Chucri to resign just because he spoke frankly and honestly to constituents,” Querard said. “It isn’t his fault the conversation was recorded, but the whole county looks bad if he resigns for telling the truth.”
In a video posted at the Real America’s Voice website on September 22, Ken Bennett, the Senate liaison to the audit and former GOP Arizona secretary of State, said a final draft report of the audit had been presented to an executive committee on September 20, and it’s being vetted “to make sure that everything adds up,” with nothing held back.
Bennett said various people will present the report publicly on September 24, with his doing a portion on where Maricopa County “failed to meet and comply with state statutes and election procedures.”
In another development, on September 17 it had been announced that an Arizona establishment Republican, former Cong. John Shadegg, had been chosen as a “special master” to secure information for the audit that the supervisors had refused to provide.
They had denied access to routers and splunk logs, supposedly because this would expose sensitive county information.
But Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich, a Republican, issued an opinion in late August that the supervisors had to comply fully with the investigation or lose nearly $700 million in funding from the state.
However, some online sites questioned Shadegg’s suitability for this investigation.
The conservative “Seeing Red AZ” blog cited a report that Shadegg had lobbying ties to none other than the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors. This report, at the World Tribune site, said the ties were to Republican Supervisor Clint Hickman.
Phoenix-based KTAR news radio (92.3 FM) reported on September 22 that Hickman said he was “trying to get over a little bit of a shock” about how Chucri had referred to Maricopa supervisors including him earlier this year concerning having the election audit.
The radio station said Chucri said Hickman “just didn’t have the guts” for the audit, while colleagues Jack Sellers and Bill Gates had close races and feared their own results could be overturned.

Demanding To Know

Meanwhile, the Associated Press reported that while the Biden administration claimed it was sending Haitians who were crossing into Texas back to Haiti, it actually was releasing many of them into Texas and Arizona.
Of course the Haitians were only a small part of the well over a million illegal aliens who had been processed just since wicked Biden starting luring them in, but their sudden appearance all together at just one location was a dramatic illustration.
CBS News posted an AP story on September 22 saying, “The Homeland Security Department has been busing Haitians from Del Rio to El Paso, Laredo and the Rio Grande Valley along the Texas border, and this week added flights to Tucson, Ariz., the (U.S.) official said. They are processed by the Border Patrol at those locations. . . .
“U.S. authorities scrambled in recent days for buses to Tucson but resorted to flights when they couldn’t find enough transportation contractors,” the story added.
Were news stories about unprotected bus drivers being attacked by angry Haitians one reason that additional buses were difficult to obtain?
Politicians including U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson (R., Wis.) demanded to know how many unauthorized entrants the Biden administration was setting loose in this nation, but officials including Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas claimed they couldn’t say.
The front page of the tabloid-sized New York Post of September 23 was devoted to the Del Rio shantytown, with a large photo and the headline, “BORDER LIE: Biden said he’d deport migrants — but he’s secretly letting them in.”
While globalist elitists like Biden think that stirring turmoil and dislocation is useful for their borderless agenda, they’d never subject themselves to that. Biden and his allies make sure to luxuriate at their highly protected mansions surrounded by security while they say the suffering they bring to others is good for them, or for the future, or something.
One of the last things they’d want, it appears, is for people to feel proud of and be productive in the land where they were born. Better to have them uprooted and dependent on overlords who manipulate them for political power.
To attain the dream of sufficiency, it may be harder to reform some countries than others. Certainly the powerful cartels aren’t going to step aside because the oppressed make a polite request, nor is Haiti’s corruption going to disappear by just wishing.
Freedom and opportunity may have to be fought for. But winning them is far more rewarding than having to curry the favor of bad Catholic renegades, liars, and manipulators like decaying Biden and Nancy Pelosi.
