Times have changed fundamentally since 1886. Liberty is comatose and may never come out of its induced final slumber. Liberal
Americans and the socialist Democrats of today are fighting the rest of the
country to remove our borders, to disarm law enforcement, to pay for illegal
aliens’ free healthcare, education, housing, voting rights, and every other
benefit American citizens have.
Millennials devoid of common sense and their radical
socialist representatives like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-New York) are openly
calling for transforming our country into a Venezuela. It seems surreal that
American citizens would want to live in the Twilight Zone of globalism or in a bad
zombie apocalypse movie they so enjoy.
Of course socialist Democrats want open borders; millions of
new illegal alien voters will help garner more representatives in the U.S.
House and thus control it in perpetuity, with no Republican opposition, a type
of California populated by 435 individuals who pretend to serve “we the people,”
while silencing 52% of the U.S. population.
USA Today reported that “half of the 600,000 residents aided
by NYC Care are undocumented immigrants” and New York City will spend “up to
$100 million per year to expand health care coverage to people without health
insurance including immigrants in the U.S. illegally.” https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2019/01/09/new-york-city-care-comprehensive-health-care-plan-concerns/2522924002/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=amp&utm_campaign=speakable&fbclid=IwAR0O71yHlujHVPQbUUg-eynNX0u7P_LAU1EYn3A9lZsE3eBuuYfUpT_YWNA
According to the Federation for American Immigration Reform
(FAIR), the federal government expenditures on illegal aliens is almost $46
billion a year, the state and local governments spend approximately $89 billion
a year, for a total of roughly $135 billion annually. Illegal aliens pay $15.5
billion in federal taxes, $3.5 billion in state and local taxes, totaling $19
billion. FAIR estimates that the total
economic impact of illegal immigration is a burden of $116 billion annually,
money that should be spent on veterans and American low income families.
A one-time cost of $5 billion to build the southern border wall
is a small sum when compared with such a huge yearly expense to maintain and
provide for illegal aliens. President Reagan had promised this wall when he
amnestied 3 million illegal aliens in 1986. But Congress never appropriated
sufficient money for its construction. https://www.fairus.org/issue/publications-resources/fiscal-burden-illegal-immigration-united-states-taxpayers?fbclid=IwAR1QGopbIjMDBSTj5dhRkQvA4p_NtIihUKGx4om8DXpLFoOy5K_45uNx6vE
Recently, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) made some
bizarre statements on MSNBC. “Every day immigrants commit crimes at a far lower
rate than everyday Americans” and illegals on the border “are acting more American
than any person who seeks to keep them out will ever be.”
The fact that we need a border wall is most vividly
described by Americans who live in the vicinity of the border with Mexico. A resident of El Indio, Texas, living half a
mile from the border wrote about “15 men who pulled a gun on my husband and had
a 13 year-old Mexican girl they had kidnapped from Guerrerro. She had blood all
over her and had urinated on herself. My husband was able to, with the help of
the Border Patrol agents in a helicopter who passed over, get the gun from the
Honduran man; they rushed the poor girl to the emergency room for help – she
had been in fact kidnapped and gang raped by these men. We are kind people and
believe in helping others in need but there have been three attacks on my
husband on our ranch in the last three months.”
Schumer and Pelosi talk about “Trump’s manufactured drama
with the border.” Adding more security at the border crossing will not help
because illegals “are not coming through the borders, they are coming through
mesquite and brush,” she added.
A wall will stop most illegal crossers even though some may
dig under or escalate it. The Border Patrol needs help, the American ranchers
need help, and Americans must feel safe in their own sovereign country.
If walls are “not effective and are socially unjust,” as the
Democrats claim, why are rich people and most of Washington, D.C., surrounded
by protective walls and barriers? If walls are not effective, why are there
walls around prisons? Why do we have billions of dollars of privacy and noise
cancelation walls around neighborhoods close to the highway?
There is a limit how many illegal invaders a country can
absorb before it is no longer a nation but a socialist hellhole where the
invaders vote for their free fair share of our confiscated stuff. As the
progressive Mayor De Blasio said in his State of the City address, “Brothers
and sisters, there’s plenty of money in the world. There’s plenty of money in
this city. It’s just in the wrong hands.” Socialists are very fond of
redistributing other people’s money and wealth but not their own. https://nypost.com/2019/01/10/de-blasio-theres-plenty-of-money-in-nyc-its-just-in-the-wrong-hands/
Liberals have asked me why a foreigner like me is against immigration.
Illegal aliens are “undocumented Americans” but I, a legal American, am still a
“foreigner.”
One problem with that question is that I am a naturalized
American who assimilated into this country and learned the language which is
something illegal aliens are not likely to do as they reject our language and
our culture vehemently, they only want our welfare. They know very little about
our country’s history and civics, vote illegally, and thus negatively affect
the transformation of our nation into the third world corrupt dictatorship
they’ve fled.
These illegal economic migrants are illiterate, can’t read
or write in their own dialects, and are therefore no asset to America, they are
not making it better with their presence; they are a drag on society. They
depress wages and it costs our society too much money to care for them from
cradle to grave. Once here, the chain migration explodes, each new addition
becomes a ward of the state and of the taxpayers who must work more in order to
pay for them. It is in essence a form of slavery for the American people to
support illegals who never assimilate.
The second problem with that question is that I am not
against immigration; this country is a melting pot of legal immigrants from all
over the world who helped make this country great. Illegal immigration is
breaking the law.
Millions of legal immigrants have waited patiently in
quarantine at Ellis Island before they were admitted to this country. Being
healthy and willing to contribute without the benefit of generous welfare was
important for the health of the nation. But now liberals have decided that
unvetted, criminal, dangerous, and sick individuals from around the world
should come freely into our country infecting our children in schools and the
population at large with diseases that had been previously eradicated in this
country.
Illegals who manage to get across the border, flood ERs when
they get sick, using the system as their primary care doctor since doctors in private
practice do not treat people without insurance. Fearing deportation, many with
serious illnesses such as TB, do not seek continued treatment and develop drug
resistant forms of TB. Their unvaccinated children infect American children in
schools, sometimes with strange illnesses that have never been seen in this
country but that are endemic in Central America.
By law, illegals must be treated for free and translators
must be provided, while veterans beg VA hospitals for their proper and prompt
treatment, including care for cancers developed while in service to our
country. One case in point, Johnny, was sent back and forth to two VA
hospitals, miles away from his rural home, never received proper treatment for
his prostate cancer and, once it spread to the rest of his body, one VA
hospital offered care, but it was too late. Johnny passed away a few months
ago.
According to the Washington Times, at least 50 people who
arrive at the southern border each day need urgent medical care, including
those with cases of pneumonia, tuberculosis, flu, parasites, and even pregnant
women close to giving birth. These people had left their homes sick in hopes
that smuggling organizations will bring them in less than a week to our
southern border, dropping them off in western Texas and New Mexico, in areas
less affected by the flow of illegals pouring into the U.S.
Washington Times cites the Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
Commissioner Kevin McAleenan, that “The faster trip also makes it easier for
sick people to come, and provides ‘confidence for parents to bring younger
children as well.’” He also explains that those who came, “needed help, were
ill when they arrived at the border.” If they die in custody, the Border Patrol
is blamed for mishandling their care. https://m.washingtontimes.com/news/2018/dec/31/number-sick-kids-soars-border/?fbclid=IwAR0duxXqe3jYdhg8g82QByxurBX8Du2Zv-ZC9zhYEk4P_O3jZvsYlyEB1cg
I am against ILLEGAL immigration. There is nothing wrong
with being called an “alien.” I was once a legal alien myself. But illegal
aliens have become a protected class sent to the head of the line by
progressivism and politicians in this country. Four million LEGAL aliens are
awaiting patiently the dispensation of their legal immigration files at the end
of the line because the lawmakers, the courts, governors, mayors, and cops in
sanctuary cities and states refuse to enforce the immigration laws currently on
the books.
President Trump is the solitary wall that is protecting this
country in so many ways from a full-blown communist takeover. He has managed to
slow down the tide but the march to Sharia Law continues with the election of
two Muslim representatives who have made it clear already that they are not necessarily
representing their American constituents but the interests of various foreign
cultures, imaginary countries, and theocracies.
