Since President Biden has been in office, about five million foreign nationals have crossed into the USA, most of them illegally, and many of them seeking asylum. The American Civil Liberties Union encourages this. It supports open borders. But we have caught that group in a ferocious lie. The ACLU is saying, quote, under U.S. law, a person seeking asylum may do so by arriving at the border and asking to be

screened by U.S. officials at a point of entry. Or by entering the U.S. without prior inspection and then declaring their fear of persecution, unquote. That is false. You cannot go into this country and ask for asylum unless you do it at a port of entry. You can't just wander around the desert and say, I'd like asylum. Now, we contacted Customs and Border Protection. They confirmed the ACLU statement. is not accurate. In other words, it is a lie. U.S. law is quite clear. Quote,

to lawfully enter the United States, a non-citizen must apply and present himself or herself in person to an immigration officer at a U.S. port of entry when the port is open for inspection, unquote, no exceptions. There are 328 ports of entry throughout the U.S. and there are 51 of them on the U.S.-Mexico border. So if you want to apply for asylum, you have to go to one of those places. That's the law. Now, we expect the ACLU to mislead the public. It's an activist group dedicated to turning America progressive.

What we did not expect was President Biden allowing people to apply for asylum not at ports of entry. So right now, the U.S. government will allow people into the United States whom they find wherever if that person, that foreign national, says, I'd like asylum. That's against the law. So in effect, President Biden is violating the law. a bold prediction. And I could be wrong about this, but noted, if the Republicans win the House of Representatives November 8th, and I believe they will by a wide margin, come late January,

2003, Joe Biden will be impeached because he is not obeying immigration law, and he swore at his inauguration to uphold the laws of the United States. He has obviously not done so. So expect that. I think it's coming. Mr. Biden will not be convicted in the Senate, but in the House, those articles will be drawn on. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it.

Now the O'Reilly Update brings you something you might not know. 140 years ago today, a young boy named Blasco Frank DeSho was born in Romania. Within a few decades, he would become one of the best known actors in the world. Here is the story of Bella Lagosie. Born October 20th, 1882 in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Bella began acting at age 12. As a young teen, he moved to Budapest, then Vienna, then Berlin, and finally wound up in New York City.

He learned English and soon appeared on Broadway in some silent films. In 1927, Lagosi starred in the theater production of Dracula. Hollywood executives loved the performance. Universal signed him to play the character on the big screen. The movie was a hit in 1931. Legosi became a global celebrity. For the next 20 years, he appeared in dozens of horror movies, including white zombies, son of Frankenstein, the wolfman, return of the ape man, and bride of the monster. But then things started to go bad for Bella. By 1955, he had committed himself to a mental hospital in California because he was addicted to morphine and alcohol. His drug habit led to financial ruin. He died of a heart attack

less than a year later at the age of 73. At the same time, he died. His net worth, just $3,000. he spent all the money on drugs. Now, nearly a century after Legosi played Count Dracula on Broadway, the vampire remains one of the most popular characters in America. Bram Stoker's Vampire generates $3 billion a year. Can you believe that? And here's something else you might not know. Loyal to his iconic role until the end,

Bella Lugosi was buried wearing his full Dracula, costume from the 1931 film, including the legendary cape. Each October, thousands of fans flocked to Lagosie's grave in Hollywood to wish the Count a happy Halloween. Back after this. Power, politics, and the people behind the headlines.
