Illegal Immigrants Staying Away From The Border In Droves Because They Fear President Trump
Gilda and Juan Francisco Loureiro have been running a shelter in northern Mexico for illegal immigrants, they’ve never seen a week like this one.
In the 35 years Gilda and Juan Francisco Loureiro have been running a shelter in northern Mexico for illegal immigrants, they’ve never seen a week like this one.
EDITOR’S NOTE: Donald Trump campaigned on a promise to stop the flow of illegal immigrants across the border, and since he took office it is down by 40%. Gone are the lawless Obama years where illegal immigration was encouraged and promoted at the highest levels in Washington. This is not only good for America, it’s good for Mexico, too. Illegal immigration is just that, illegal, and in absolute violation of established American law. When the law is followed, everyone’s safer and everyone benefits. America is greatly blessed when immigrants come here, just as long as it is done legally.
The shelter, called Albergue San Juan Bosco, is perched on a steep hillside looking over the busy border town of Nogales, Mexico. Its walls are painted bright turquoise and tangerine, and its wide-open double doors look west over low hills and Highway 15. Since they opened it, upward of 1 million people have slept there on their way to the U.S. But on the day I visited, it was almost empty.
It didn’t used to be this way, Gilda and Juan Francisco, known as Paco, explained. In the decades since they opened the space to give migrants a place to shower and sleep before crossing the border, the shelter—with separate rooms full of bunkbeds for men and women—would regularly house 100 migrants per night. Sometimes, that number would hit 300 or more, and Gilda and Paco would pull out thin mattresses to fit everyone on the floor.
But today, those mattresses are neatly stacked in a closet, untouched. And the shelter is almost empty—no women travelers, and fewer than a dozen men. That’s despite the fact that April, with its mild weather, should be the busiest time of year for migrants. The place is all but dead. Gilda and Paco have never seen anything like it.
They can only think of one explanation: President Donald Trump.
Trump hasn’t yet made good on his bombastic campaign trail promises. The wall is still just a twinkle in his eye, and the deportation force hiring sprees haven’t happened yet. ICE agents have conducted raids targeting undocumented immigrants, but they aren’t actually that different in scale from raids that happened during the early years of the Obama administration.
But the symbolism of Trump in the Oval Office and the threat of extended detention has already deterred many migrants.
Migrants are scared, explained Jose, a young Honduran man staying at the San Bosco shelter in hopes of getting to the U.S. They might be less scared in the future, he said, but for now they’re waiting.
The Trump administration seems to have figured this out. In a speech on the Arizona side of the border the day before, Attorney General Jeff Sessions noted that the number of people caught illegally crossing the border had dropped by 72 percent from December 2016 to March 2017.
“This is no accident,” Sessions told an audience of reporters and Customs and Border Protections officials.
He then detailed new priorities for federal prosecutors, including felony prosecutions in certain situations of people who re-enter the U.S. illegally after being deported. According to AllLaw.com, a felony conviction for illegal re-entry typically carries a sentence of up to two years.
The migrants who spoke to The Daily Beast hadn’t heard of Jeff Sessions. But they’d heard about his plans.
“Is it true I’ll go to prison for two years if I get arrested?” a Honduran man named Mynor asked in Spanish.
He said he’d been deported from the U.S. four times already, and that he hadn’t been convicted of any crimes. But he’d spent several months in jails in Nevada, Texas, and Arizona before those deportations, he added, and he didn’t want to go back.
The two-year rumor was correct, I explained. Then I asked why he kept trying to make it in the U.S. instead of returning to his native country.
“La violencia,” he replied.
Still, the threat of two years in federal prison gave him second thoughts about making a fifth trip across the border, he added. Honduras is one of the most dangerous countries in the world, with rampant government corruption and extraordinary levels of cartel violence. Despite this, Trump has him considering going back.
Mynor and a handful of other migrants sat in a small chapel in the shelter waiting for dinner to be ready. A large picture of Our Lady of Guadalupe hung on the wall, and a nearly life-size crucifix draped with plastic rosary beads stood beside it. On a table in front, there was a pile of Know Your Rights pamphlets from the Comisión Nacional de los Derechos Humanos, a Mexican group, and the ACLU.
“Tus derechos humanos viajan contigo,” one pamphlet read. “Porque ningún ser humano es ilegal…”
In English: Your human rights travel with you, because no human being is illegal.
Throughout the border town of Nogales, residents say it’s strangely silent. The men who drive shuttles taking Mexicans who legally cross the border to Tucson and Phoenix have seen their business slow down—likely because many fear that having the legal right to enter the U.S. won’t necessarily protect them from detention or deportation.
And the Kino Border Initiative, a Roman Catholic humanitarian aid group that provides food and clothing to recently deported migrants on the Mexico side, has seen things slow. Joanna Williams, the group’s director of education and advocacy in the U.S., said their Mexican shelter would normally help 500 to 700 people every month. But in March, she added, they only worked with 200—likely because fewer people are being deported to Nogales, because fewer people are crossing the border there in the first place.
But Williams added that though the overall number of migrants crossing the border has dropped, the numbers from some parts of Mexico have risen significantly. Her group asks migrants to share what city and state of Mexico they came from—a valuable data trove—and noticed there’s been an uptick in travelers from the city of Chilpancingo in the state of Guerrero on Mexico’s southwest coast. A conflict between two cartels there has displaced 250,000 people, according to Sky News.
Williams said she expects the number of migrants crossing the border to go back up because Trump hasn’t changed the structural realities that drive migration: He hasn’t made southern Mexico any less poor and violent, and he hasn’t made the cartels any weaker. The changes in the last month are significant, she said, but temporary.
Paco agreed.

Vice President JD Vance Tells Americans To Get Ready For ‘Short-Term Pain’ As Trump Liberation Day Tariffs Will Bring ‘Big Change’ To The US Economy
JD Vance freely admits that Trump Liberation Day Tariffs will cause short-term pain in the hopes of sparking the ‘big change’ that’s needed to ignite US economy
Americans as a people love to see the ‘big gamble’, the come-from-behind success story, the ‘Rocky’ big win stunningly achieved before the last bell rings. Milton Hersey was so sure he could be the first to bring commercialized chocolate to the people that he built his massive chocolate factory before he created his chocolate recipe. That’s a big gamble. Conrad Hilton was so sure he could be the first to bring coast-to-coast hotel services to America, he spent everything he had, twice, to do it. That’s also a big gamble. President Trump’s Liberation Day tariffs imposed on every nation we trade with, except Russia, that are guaranteed to bring ‘short-term pain’ to an already overstressed market? That’s the mother lode of the big gamble, and that’s the memo.
“I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.” Ecclesiastes 9:11 (KJB)
As I said on Monday’s Podcast, I do not like the sound of ‘Liberation Day’, it has a far too ominous ring to it. But am I rooting for Trump and Vance to be successful? I sure am, let’s do it, boys. That said, the overnight reaction to Liberation Day has been quite harsh. The Dow has dropped by 1,500 points, trillions of dollars have been wiped from 401(K) accounts, and tariffs on new cars are up 25%, making purchasing one out of reach for many. My advice? Starting praying for Trump and Vance to get saved, and while you’re at it, start praying that God will be merciful to America that we not get plunged into recession or worse. VP Vance tells us to prepare for ‘short-term pain’, pray that it will be short.
JD Vance acknowledges short-term pain Trump’s ‘Liberation Day’ tariffs could have, insists US needed ‘big change’
FROM THE NY POST: Vice President JD Vance said Thursday he isn’t going to “shy away” from the short-term pain the Trump administration’s sweeping “Liberation Day” tariffs could potentially have on Americans — but insisted the US needed a “big change.”
“We cannot keep going down the Joe Biden globalist pathway where we have $2 trillion of peacetime debt and deficits. We have manufacturing disappearing,” Vance told Fox News’ “Fox & Friends.” “That is not working for Americans. We’ve got to take this country in a different direction.”
“Yes, this is a big change. I’m not going to shy away from it, but we needed a big change,” he added.
The veep also warned Americans living paycheck-to-paycheck that things weren’t likely to get better overnight — insisting Team Trump was left to clean up the Biden administration’s mess.
“We know people are struggling, we’re fighting as quickly as we can to fix what was left to us but it’s not going to happen immediately,” he said.
“We really do believe that if we pursue the right deregulation, we pursue those energy cost-reducing policies, yes, people are going to see it in their pocketbook. They’re also going to benefit from the fact that foreign countries can’t take advantage of us anymore. That means their jobs are going to be more secure.”
It comes after President Trump on Wednesday announced a 10% baseline tariff on all imports to the US, as well as higher duties on some of the country’s biggest trading partners — ranging from premium Italian coffee and Japanese whisky to sportswear made in Asia.
Trump, who argued the “reciprocal” tariffs were a response to duties and other non-tariff barriers put on US goods, would boost manufacturing jobs at home.
“This is one of the most important days, in my opinion, in American history. It’s our Declaration of Economic Independence,” the president said. READ MORE
Trump announces 10% “baseline” tariff, 25% tariff on all foreign-made vehicles on ‘Liberation Day’
U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday announced he is signing an executive order implementing new import tariffs on so-called “Liberation Day” for the U.S. economy. “Effective at midnight, we will impose a 25 per cent tariff on all foreign-made automobiles,” Trump said, adding that with this latest trade policy, the U.S. would “pry open foreign markets and break down foreign trade barriers.” Holding up a chart in front of a gathered crowd, Trump said China was at top of his list of reciprocal tariffs and will be charged a tariff rate of 34 per cent.

Conspiracy Theory
Release Of ‘The Epstein Files – Phase 1’ Is Met With Jeers And Mockery Online As Conservative Influencers Are Seen Flashing ‘Declassified’ Binders
Conservative influencers seen leaving the White House with binders labeled ‘The Epstein Files – Phase 1.’ was roundly mocked online today, and rightly so.
I take no pleasure in bringing you these stories about the things being done in the Trump administration, from the Golden Goat to the Golden Statue of King Trump, it’s safe to say they are off to a very bad start. Today they promised to release the long-hidden and equally long-awaited Jeffrey Epstein files, what they actually released were silly binders that looked like they were assembled by high school interns, labeled ‘The Epstein Files – Phase 1’. What was contained in those silly binders caused an outrage online due to their lack of any meaningful content.
“Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.” Proverbs 23:23 (KJB)
Glenn Beck had this to say about ‘The Epstein Files – Phase 1’: “Who is subverting POTUS? The #Epsteinfiles are a total joke. I know Kash, Pam B and The President. This is not the file. WH tells me that they believe the usual suspects FBI/SDNY has the actual #EpsteinClientList and are refusing to turn it over. THIS IS AN INTERNAL CIVIL WAR if true.” Beck is correct when he says what was released today is a joke, but a joke on who exactly? If you really wanted to release the Epstein Files, you would have put it on a web site and let the entire country view it at the same time. The actual Epstein Files may indeed come out, but this is not it, this is theater, and the joke’s on…you.
Epstein files released to conservative influencers
FROM NEWS NATION: The Department of Justice released files regarding Jeffrey Epstein to a small group of conservative influencers Thursday. It’s not clear if the files will be released to the press more broadly or if they will be available for the public to access.
President Donald Trump signed an executive order early in his second term ordering the release of the files along with classified documents related to the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr.
The Epstein Files were not released today, not even close. This is theater, the theater of the absurd. This is a clown show. pic.twitter.com/0eq9Gwn2qA

The group of influencers was seen leaving the White House with binders labeled “The Epstein Files: Phase 1.”
Attorney General Pam Bondi teased the release of the files earlier in the day, saying there were things included in them that would make people sick. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., who is heading a task force on government transparency, said her group was not given the documents and criticized the administration for the limited release.
“A NY Post story just revealed that the documents will simply be Epstein’s phonebook. THIS IS NOT WHAT WE OR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ASKED FOR. GET US THE INFORMATION WE ASKED FOR instead of leaking old info to press,” she said on X.
Epstein was charged with sex trafficking but died by suicide while in prison. His girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell, is serving a 20-year prison sentence for helping Epstein traffic minors.

— Glenn Beck (@glennbeck) February 27, 2025
The new files are said to contain names of Epstein’s associates and flight logs for his private plane. It’s important to note that someone’s name appearing in Epstein’s files is not an indicator that they participated in sex trafficking, and the files included people who only had brief contact with the high-profile financier.
Previously released files included the names of many political and Hollywood figures, including Trump, former President Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew, Stephen Hawking, Leonardo DiCaprio, Michael Jackson, Cate Blanchett, David Copperfield and George Lucas. READ MORE

Trump Posts An AI Video Of What A ‘Trump Gaza’ Would Look Like Complete With A Golden Statue Of Himself That Even Nebuchadnezzar Would Be Proud Of
President Trump has shared an AI-generated video depicting his resort-like vision for the future of Gaza — featuring a gigantic golden statue of the president as well as images of him lounging topless poolside with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
In our Wednesday night Bible Study at Bethany Baptist, and on many episodes of our ‘Rightly Dividing’ radio program, we have studied the book of Daniel paying close attention to the connection between the golden statue in chapter 3 and the ‘Image of the Beast’ in Revelation 13. You know what we learned? We learned that anytime someone wants a statue of themselves, in gold no less, it is always a bad thing. Always. Are there no Bible believing Christians anywhere in Trump’s world to tell him the direction he’s being led down now, by Elon Musk, is a bad thing? As it turns out, there are no Bible believers anywhere in Trump’s world, and if there are, they are too afraid to open their mouths. That’s the memo.
“Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height was threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof six cubits: he set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon.” Daniel 3:1 (KJB)
If Barack Obama or Joe Biden has posted an AI video of themselves doing the exact same thing that Trump is doing in his video, every “prophet” on YouTube would be doing endless hours of podcasting about the Antichrist being revealed. You know that’s a true statement and you’re lying if you say otherwise. I am not saying that Trump is the Antichrist, because I don’t think that, but come on, man, what’s the deal? This is not politics we are watching, this is a highly-funded and elaborate stage play, it’s theater, and Elon Musk is calling the shots. So the real question we need to ask ourselves is why does Elon Musk want to take control of Gaza? An area that “just happens” to be next to Jerusalem. Yep, you should start there and when you can answer that question, you’ll understand the reason for the golden statue. Elon Musk just may be developing the ultimate app of all time.
Trump shares AI video of his vision for Gaza — featuring giant gold statue of himself like Nebuchadnezzar
FROM THE NY POST: The 30-second clip, shared on Truth Social late Tuesday, opens by showing a blighted Gaza following 15 months of Israel’s war against Hamas terrorists — before asking, “What next?” in red, white and blue text. Scenes of destruction morph into a sunny beach resort, as a lively dance track with the lyrics “Donald Trump will set you free, bringing the life for all to see, no more tunnels, no more fear, Trump Gaza is finally here” starts to play.
Is this really what thing everything is coming to, Trump Gaza? Now, you know as well as I do that this is a cover for the real reason why they want to control this area. As a student of end times prophecy, I can think of a couple of reasons why, and none of them good. pic.twitter.com/hvYMDkJJbW
— Now The End Begins (@NowTheEndBegins) February 26, 2025
The computer-generated clip then depicts Elon Musk eating bread dipped in hummus on the beach — before quickly cutting to bearded Hamas terrorists bizarrely dancing in bikinis on the sand. Trump’s vision — which he’s said would make Gaza “the Riviera of the Middle East” — also includes giant gold balloons of his face being held by a child, as well as him dancing in a nightclub with a scantily-clad woman, with ally Musk, the world’s richest man, showering people with cash.
The video also depicts a massive golden “Trump Gaza” building, as well as a larger-than-life golden statue of Trump.
The AI-produced song then boasts “a golden future, a brand new light” before the clip shows Trump and Netanyahu lounging shirtless poolside with cocktails in their hands and the words “Trump Gaza” behind them. Since returning to office, Trump has shared his controversial development plan for the war-torn Gaza Strip, which he says he hopes for the US to “take over” and develop into “the Riviera of the Middle East,” pushing out Gaza’s 2 million inhabitants into neighboring nations.
Under the contentious plan, Palestinians would not be allowed to return to the Hamas-run enclave, Trump previously said.
It was the first time a member of the Trump administration publicly said its goal was extending phase one rather than moving on to phase two, which is meant to outline a permanent end of the war and Israel’s full withdrawal from Gaza in exchange for all remaining living hostages. Phase two will also determine who will rule Gaza, though Netanyahu’s government has halted negotiations for phase two following alleged violations by Hamas, including the group’s failure to release the body of slain mother Shiri Bibas last week.
