New Footage Shows El Paso Engulfed In ‘Mass Migration Dumpster Fire’ As State Of Emergency Declared
New Footage Shows El Paso Engulfed In ‘Mass Migration Dumpster Fire’ As State Of Emergency Declared
On Monday, White House spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre made an absurd claim: “When it comes to illegal migration, you’ve seen it come down by more than 90%” under the Biden administration. And if that was the case, why did a Democrat mayor of a Texas border town declare a state of emergency?
Well, new footage from border town El Paso, Texas, shows a sobering view of a worsening migrant crisis that the Biden administration, liberal media, and progressive politicians have ignored for two years while calling anyone who pointed it out ‘racist.’

“It’s difficult to describe, Jim, with words… The magnitude of the number of individuals,” a CNN reporter said. If CNN can no longer cover for the Biden administration, then they’re in trouble…
The situation in El Paso is so bad that even CNN is flabbergasted.

El Paso is transforming into what appears to be a ‘third world’-like country, primarily due to the surge in illegal border crossings.

With the upcoming expiration of Title 42, a pandemic-era border policy that allows border agents to turn migrants away on public health grounds, this will only indicate a new wave of illegal border crossings is imminent.
“El Paso mayor has declared a state of emergency. Biden is sending 1500 troops. The border has been lost,” Citizen Free Press tweeted.
Indeed.

Big Kahuna On Deck: AAPL Earnings Preview
Big Kahuna On Deck: AAPL Earnings Preview
Ahead of today’s final GAMMA earnings result (the other supercap tech names delivered and while AMZN fumbled on AWS guidance on the call, its earnings were also stellar), when the world’s largest company AAPL reports Q1 results at 4:30pm (and guidance during its 5pm conf call), here is the big picture courtesy of Goldman trader Peter Callahan:
- Positioning: stock +27% YTD. desk has as a 6.5 out of 10 (0-10 scale) – a widely held asset (Apple’s mrkt cap > GOOG + AMZN, combined), though, typically an UW for MFs and limited tactical length among HFs.
- Print: numbers hit at ~430pm ET, followed by a conference call at 5pm ET. Guidance / forward commentary typically given on the call (not in the PR). Focus on China trends and capital returns.
- Expectations: investors largely expecting a down the fairway March quarter (cons = ~$92.6bn in revs / $1.43 in EPS), with focus squarely on June quarter guidance (see: QCOM -7% on a guide down today), where Goldman previewed an expectation for AAPL to guide June revenues to decline at a similar magnitude of that in F2Q23 (GSe: -3% yoy) with Products revenue down y/y and Services revenue growth
A table of median sellside expectations:
JPM TMT sector specialist Jack Atherton chimes in that there has not been any major change to in positioning in AAPL of late “although the AI disruptive threat posed to GOOGL/AMZN has gifted some relative defensive qualities to the AAPL narrative.”
According to Atherton, the buyside is looking for FQ2 revenue to drop -6% y/y (guide -5%) with iPhone revenue $47.5BN (2% below consensus), and Q3 revenue guided to -2% y/y (vs est +2%), the miss coming from checks pointing to weaker iPhone build numbers. The other point to note is that this Q is typically when we get an update on annual buyback/dividend plans. Stock +29% YTD; Implied move 4.5%.
Finally, here is a stunning chart from Goldman showing just how concentrated the top 2 stocks have become.
