Non-Citizen Who Overstayed his Visa Gets Child Porn Charges
County Examiner reported on an investigation that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE)’s Homeland Security Investigation (HSI) and Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force conducted, which ultimately led to the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Houston acquiring a guilty plea from a Mexican man who received and possessed child pornography.
This raises questions about Congresswoman Sylvia Garcia and her desire to abolish ICE.
Houston Talk Radio host Ken Webster posted a video on June 24, 2019 of the congresswoman marching down Houston’s PRIDE parade holding a banner that read “Abolish ICE”. Webster noted that “ICE is an organization that stops human trafficking and captures people guilty of heinous crimes, including child pornographers, rapists and murderers, but Sylvia would apparently prefer those people walk free, as she’s openly advocating to abolish the institution that arrests a countless number of criminals every year.”

The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Houston also sent out a similar press release announcing the guilty plea and sentencing of the illegal alien on child porn charges.
“A 54-year-old Mexican man who illegally remained in the United States after his temporary visa had expired was sentenced to 10 years in federal prison Tuesday for receiving and possessing child pornography.
This investigation was conducted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), and the Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force.
Alberto Bernal Garcia, who illegally resided in Houston, Texas, pleaded guilty to the criminal charges April 16. He was sentenced to 10 years each for the receipt and possession convictions, respectively. These sentences will run concurrently.
Garcia legally entered the United States from Mexico on a temporary visa in 1997. However, he overstayed that visa. Following his release from federal prison, he is expected to face removal proceedings.”
Congresswoman Garcia’s seat in the 29th Congressional District is quite safe, but her radical views on open borders can be exploited by Texas GOP activists who want to turn immigration into the number #1 political issue in the Lone Star state. After all, GOP voters have immigration as their top priority heading into the 2020 elections.
Garcia’s views on immigration demonstrate the ongoing radicalization of the modern-day Democratic Party.

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.
