I Was a Resident Alien

In our county, the Census Bureau counted, the illegal population has grown by 40% in the last ten years. This figure does not count all other illegals dropped in our midst overnight by the Biden administration, all bussed or flown from the open southern border, aided by NGOs stationed in the Darien Gap between Colombia and Panama, NGOs financed by U.S. taxpayer dollars.

The arguments from the left about the illegals’ presence in this country is many-fold: we were all migrants/undocumented to this country at some point, we need open borders in order to facilitate the one world government, we need their labor, illegals need safety and a better economic life, and this land was stolen from them in the first place. Hollywood celebrities make sure they remind us of this misleading notion every chance they get together to award prizes to each other. Some own lavish mansions located on the actual 'stolen land' they mention.

A person I met from Central America talks about the abject fear that the illegal community lives under daily. One of her friends was picked up on his way to work and deported; now his family of four does not have enough support because the social security benefits are inadequate. Mom must work now to support her family. The father had been in this country for ten years. Why exactly could the father not obtain a work permit?

Three ladies she knew, traveling on the HOV on their way to work, were arrested and deported. She did not know why they were stopped, but they were all here illegally. None of them had work visas.

“Nonimmigrant visa holders are typically required to have a work permit (EAD) before being hired to work in the U.S. In most cases, obtaining a work permit will allow you to work for any employer. And you do not have to work in any specific trade or profession.” Work in the U.S. with a work permit (EAD) | USAGov

The problem with foreign nationals who are here is that many cross our border illegally, with help from paid coyotes, and settle in heavily ethnic areas where they intend to work off the books. They have no intention to learn English and assimilate, which would benefit and improve their lives here.

Even though Democrat politicians object to the use of the term ‘alien’ and prefer that illegal immigrants are called ‘undocumented’ or ‘non-citizens,’ the U.S. Immigration Court has reinstated the [prior] use of the word ‘alien’ for non-citizens, stating that the term is neither pejorative nor insulting.”

Illegals do pay sales taxes in the process of living here but they seldom pay Social Security taxes and income taxes; they send their earnings back to the countries that they came from to help their extended families. Illegal families here are usually on various welfare programs while the father works for untraceable cash.

The conservative part of America welcomes legal immigrants who are vetted for health issues, have no criminal records or gang-related history, are not illiterate in their own language, assimilate and contribute to our society, and support their families without burdening the welfare, educational, and medical systems in the U.S.

To the leftist argument that we need more illegals to increase our diversity – the answer is that we are diverse enough. We do not need dozens and dozens of foreign cultures within ethnic areas; we need a unified American culture with people who are able to speak English as well as their native tongues at home.

We should not have to translate government forms into so many languages. If you are unable or unwilling to learn English, then perhaps you should stay in your home country and help make it better. If you do not contribute in any way to the growth of our society, you should have stayed in your home countries and helped them grow.

Illegal children burden the school systems in many ways. They are not vaccinated which places local children in danger. They have been exposed to illnesses indigenous to the areas where they came from, while our children were not exposed to such. Illegal students are usually behind in their education and must be tutored to catch up and the school systems must hire special teachers for them.

The corrupt media never discusses the burden of illegals on American taxpayers. Illegals were told by Democrats that, if they come across the border, their needs will be met, and all they have to do is vote Democrat in America’s elections. Democrats do not care what they do to America because they want absolute government control.

Illegals are housed, fed, clothed, schooled, their utilities paid, their college tuition, phones, transportation paid, all while our veterans linger forgotten and homeless. Gang members, bussed in the country, are now murdering American citizens while America’s drug problem is exploding.

What foreign parents would allow their children to travel alone to the U.S. in hopes that, once inside the U.S., they will have a better life? Who will take care of them, where will they end up?

According to our government, during the Biden administration there were 300,000 foreign national children missing. When asked about their fate, President Trump is quoted as saying that they are probably slaves, sex slaves, or dead.

Illegal immigration is an invasion promoted by Presidents Biden and Obama, to fulfill a socialist agenda to destroy western society, belief in God, morality, the family, and to establish a one world government. It started with United Nation’s plan which demanded from its members that they allow mass migration from the third world to Europe and to other western societies.

Democrats and Republicans agree with this mass invasion, using illegals to keep themselves in power while ignoring the wishes of the American people.

 

Resident Alien

Unlike the newest Netflix show, in which an actual alien from space crash-lands in a pristine and small Colorado town where nothing criminal ever happens, the aliens I am describing are ordinary people.

When I came to the U.S., I was issued a permanent resident alien card which allowed me to live and work in the U.S. Mom was a resident alien too when she arrived. We did not mind the word “alien.”  We were not from here, so the lands were alien to us. We were treated accordingly by the southern population – we were considered aliens from a space they had no idea where it was geographically, and we did not belong there because we had no seven-generation ties to the place.

Then I applied to become a naturalized American citizen. At that point, they forced me to renounce my Romanian citizenship and I became persona-non-grata in both countries for the duration of the application process which took several years. I had a permit to travel to one place at a time which was only good for that trip.

Mom remained a Romanian citizen even though, when her passport expired, they did not renew it. She was persona-non-grata until she died in 2022, only allowed once to return to her country for a brief visit; when she reapplied, she was issued a piece of paper that said, she could travel back to Romania but once there, she would have to reapply for a Romanian passport. She was never allowed to vote in either country and was turned down when she tried to become a naturalized American citizen like me because she did not speak English much; she remained a resident alien. She was never offended by the term; she was glad to be here and away from communism from which she had defected.

Fast forward to the 21^st century, the Democrats have decided that our country is racist and half of the population who voted for someone other than a Democrat were undesirables and ‘deplorables’ and therefore the regime must import enough illegal aliens to balance out the Americans who rejected the Democrats’ Marxist policies.

The influx of economically driven illegal aliens that followed was magically transformed into immigrants, undocumented immigrants, migrants, and political refugees with higher status than American citizens.

Pregnant illegals had babies on American soil and became instant American citizens dubbed “anchor babies.” It was not long before said anchor babies began running for political office which the U.S. Constitution said they were not entitled to but they were elected anyway because Democrats were popular, influential, and linguistically able to confuse the population into voting for their candidate. To do otherwise, a voter would be “racist” and nobody wants to be a racist.

Then there are the DACA individuals and the DREAM act for individuals who were brought here illegally as children. Democrats want to make them voting American citizens as well even though they already are citizens of their respective countries where they were born.

The term “illegal aliens” was considered racist by the radical left and therefore changed in documents and in the mainstream media narrative into “undocumented.” Nobody stopped to think that they were documented, but with documents from their own countries which they hid or shredded on their way to welfare-generous America. They swore to vote for Biden, their best choice for president.

The legal immigrants, more than four million of them, are still waiting at the back of the legal line for the disposition of their legal immigration petitions that have been back-logged for years while speedy precedence is given to those who had just crossed the border and claimed political asylum, as they were coached by the numerous NGOs running the Democrat invasion, i.e., the International Office of Migration (IOM), Red Cross, UNICEF, Doctors Without Borders, Catholic Charities, Baptist Charities, Lutheran Charities, and many others.

The legal immigrants must provide documentary evidence that they will be able to support themselves and not be a burden on the American taxpayers and medical records that they are not diseased and thus become an infectious problem for Americans and a financial burden to the overstretched health care system.

The transformation from illegal aliens and resident aliens to immigrants, undocumented immigrants, undocumented, immigrants, migrants, and not-yet Americans has been quite swift thanks to the radical left’s unending stream of acceptable euphemisms that do not insult the feelings of the superior third world invaders who now have the right to vote in American elections in perpetuity thanks to radical leftists staffing all levels of government, federal, state, and local.

Votes for the right regime do not come with a small price tag which the taxpayers are forced to subsidize. The effects on the American population all over the country, i.e., financial, inflation, government spending, housing, crime, education, safety, health, voting, are broad, ugly, and expensive.
