BUSTED: Border Patrol Ended October by Arresting 55 Gang Members
The United States Border Patrol has been busy as 2019 is coming to a close.
In October, Border Patrol agents have arrested 55 gang members.
Those caught include members of the Paisas, Sureños, MS-13, Latin Kings, and 18th Street gangs.
In October, just starting the new fiscal year, Border Patrol agents have already arrested 55 gang members. They are affiliated with, among others:
▫️ Paisas

Such arrests demonstrate how urgent tackling the matter of border security reform is.
According to a previous BLP report, border apprehensions have actually fallen since the 1990s.
In 1998, U.S. Customs and Border Protection apprehended 1,516,680 immigrants, while in 2018, 398,579 were apprehended.
This is the product of a political class that no longer cares about defending the U.S.’s national sovereignty.
The election of Donald Trump has brought immigration at the forefront of political discussion.
However, establishment Republicans under the congressional leadership of Paul Ryan in the first two years of Trump’s presidency and a corrupt immigration bureaucracy have stymied immigration reform so far.
Further, a divided Congress ensures that Democrats will roadblock any meaningful immigration overhauls in the near future.
A strong Republican performance in 2020 is ultimately needed for President Trump’s nationalist border agenda to be implemented.

Airbnb CEO Says Wuhan Virus Will Fundamentally Transform Domestic Travel
Post-pandemic America will not look the same.
Brian Chesky, the CEO of Airbnb, said to Reuters on January 14, 2021 that domestic travel patterns will not revert to pre-Wuhan virus pandemic standards.
In a Zoom call with Jonathan Weber, the global technology editor for Reuters, Chesky said that business travel will move towards leisure travel due to the fact that software like Zoom facilitates teleconferencing at unprecedented rates.
Furthermore, Chesky speculates that people won’t be visiting America’s largest cities as much as before, nor will they stay at crowded hotels. Instead, he believes that “many people will travel by car – some will travel by plane – and they’re going to travel to thousands of smaller communities. And many of these communities are going to be smaller cities and or even rural areas.”
Additionally, the Airbnb CEO notes that “farm stays are huge right now” and that national parks travel will become a major trend among travelers in the upcoming months. The latter will grow, in Chesky’s view, because most Americans have not visited such parks.
According to an Airbnb survey, 54% of Americans have plans of traveling in 2021 or they’re in the process of planning out their trips for the summer. Chesky asserted that travelers are “yearning for what was taken away from them.” He added, “they’re not yearning to see Times Square. What they are yearning to do is to see their friends and their families they have not seen in a long time.”
Tyler Durden of ZeroHedge raised an interesting point about this change in Americans’ travel patterns:
If Chesky is right about the significant travel shift, the hotel industry could be slated for a massive wave of bankruptcies and or consolidation to a degree never before seen.
Regardless, Americans are getting tired of the Wuhan virus lockdowns. Millions of Americans have had their freedoms infringed upon thanks to politicians who want to exploit a generalized crisis for their own gain.
If Republicans were smart, they would be unapologetically campaigning for their states to be reopened. Americans want to go back to their normal lives and engage in activities such as travel, which the political class has deprived them of.
