The Democrats' Illegal Immigrants Arrived from All Over the World

I was stopped last week by an elegant woman dressed in western clothes, carrying a toddler, panhandling in the parking lot at our local Target. She did not speak English, she said, had no husband, and asked for money.

She looked like the gypsies who surrounded us growing up in Ceausescu’s Romania but did not speak Romanian, they spoke a language called “Romany or Romanes, a word from the Indian Ram or Rama, which means husband.” 

Tribes of rroma adapted to the countries where they “settled” and incorporated local dialects or words into their language but remained mostly nomadic, moving around to places where there was money to be made, begged, stolen, or earned.

The rroma (gypsies) originated in the Punjab region of northern India as a nomadic people who migrated to Europe between the eighth and tenth centuries A.D. They were mistakenly called gypsies because they were believed to have come from Egypt.

The rroma minority exists all over Europe today and is divided among groups called “tribes” or “nations.” In Romania, 3 percent of the population is thought to be rroma. A few of the tribes do not move around, they have distinct villages. Some have opulent villas built with money “earned” abroad. National Geographic dedicated an entire section to these rroma and their opulent villas with their unique architectural style.

In 2017, an article from Reuters wrote that Pennsylvania residents of a small town called California were upset by “Romanian” immigrants who, they said, “have not assimilated to American culture, beheading chickens and defecating in the streets.”

I do not know of any Romanians, and I am one, who engage in such strange behavior, and they have most certainly assimilated into the American culture as doctors, lawyers, teachers, journalists, businesspeople, nurses, mechanics, carpenters, accountants, chemical engineers, professors, and other professionals. The article in question was referring to gypsies (rroma) originating from Romania.

According to the Post-Gazette of this small university town, thirty-five miles south of Pittsburgh, locals accused the immigrants of “throwing around trash, disobeying traffic laws, defecating in public, being disruptive in markets and killing chickens.”

The rroma economic refugees were moved to the area “through a federal program that funded temporary houses for immigrants” during the Obama administration. At that time, the locals alleged that the rroma sent home weekly upwards of $30,000, money stolen from their stores.

How did the forty families of rroma (gypsies), reach the United Stated back then and others now, all the way from Romania or from the streets of the European Union where they usually traveled to since Romania became part of the European Union in 2007, and showed up in Pennsylvania and now in northern Virginia?

According to authorities, the rroma (gypsies) came via Mexico through the open U.S. border in Laredo, Texas. They had obtained either “simple passports or a single traveling paper” which entitled them to stay 180 days in Mexico without a visa requirement. Once they arrived at the U.S. border, they demanded political asylum from the persecution in Romania.

Persecution in Romania is a misrepresentation because rroma (gypsies) were certainly not persecuted after the “fall” of communism in 1989, they are a protected minority with more rights, benefits, and influence than the average Romanian citizen.

They are not poor people; the flight from Bucharest to Mexico City cost at least 1,225 euros and has two stops, taking about thirty-eight plus hours to reach their destination. The bus fare from Mexico City to Laredo, Texas border is not cheap either, about $130 for 696 miles. This entire odyssey is expensive and time consuming. Most Romanian citizens live on a fixed income and cannot afford such fares, they would have had to save for years on an average salary of $400 a month.

Locals among the 7,000 plus residents of California, Pa, protested in 2017 that their quaint and quiet small town had become a nightmare since the rroma arrived. The complaints included the facts that they did not follow any rules, drove without a license, urinated, and defecated in public, were a public nuisance in general, and stole from Walmart.

The men traveled to Baltimore on business during the week to join their rroma tribe. The city of Baltimore had a large network of rroma who worked in construction, comprising the largest rroma community in America, more than 25,000 people.

And now they arrived in northern Virginia and are already panhandling at our local Target.
