Daily Verse | 1 Chronicles 15:28
So all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of the Lord with shouts, with the sounding of rams’ horns and trumpets, and of cymbals, and the playing of lyres and harps.

Monday’s Reading: 1 Chronicles 16-20

Monday and we’re in the last week of April 2022.

On Friday morning I wrote that we knew alleged mom killer David Bonola was from Mexico, but authorities wouldn’t divulge his immigration status. That led me to speculate that he is here illegally, even though it’s been more than 20 years since he arrived. Friday, Fox News reported exclusively that, yes indeed, Bonola is here illegally.

EXCLUSIVE – David Bonola, the handyman arrested in the grisly murder of Queens mother Orsolya Gaal, had been living in the United States in violation of immigration law when he was arrested, law enforcement sources confirmed to Fox News Digital on Friday.

Bonola moved to the United States from Mexico 21 years ago, police officials said Thursday. They would not comment regarding the 44-year-old’s immigration status at the time. But two law enforcement sources with knowledge of the matter told Fox News Digital that Bonola was in the country in violation of immigration law. Details of whether he entered the U.S. legally were not immediately available.

“ICE focuses its civil immigration enforcement priorities on the apprehension and removal of noncitizens who pose a threat to our national security, public safety, and border security,” an Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesperson said in a statement in response to Fox News Digital’s questions. Fox News Digital is further told ICE has lodged a detainer with Queens Central Booking.

For twenty years he’s been here illegally.

How many more trespassers like David are living here illegally?

Millions, with millions more being ushered in and shuttled across the country by the illegitimate junta in the White House.

I did a study on illegal immigration some years ago and found that the estimated number of foreigners residing here illegally is remarkably consistent in projections by governmental and advocacy organizations (both for and against) at about 11-12 million. But that number for certain does not reflect the true number of illegals here in the United States.

Our analysis covers the years 1990 to 2016. We develop an estimate of the number of undocumented immigrants based on parameter values that tend to underestimate undocumented immigrant inflows and overstate outflows; we also show the probability distribution for the number of undocumented immigrants based on simulating our model over parameter value ranges. Our conservative estimate is 16.7 million for 2016, nearly fifty percent higher than the most prominent current estimate of 11.3 million, which is based on survey data and thus different sources and methods. The mean estimate based on our simulation analysis is 22.1 million, essentially double the current widely accepted estimate.

And that’s just one study published four years ago using data ending six years ago. The Federation for American Immigration Reform, a reputable non-partisan, public interest organization, estimates that there are approximately 15.5 million illegal aliens residing within the United States. They attribute this “alarming increase” to “two significant developments:”

• The improvement of the United States’ economy as the country re-opens after the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic [we’ll see how inflation affects that — do]
• A more significant factor fueling this increase is that the Biden administration has effectively abolished the mission of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), preventing the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) from securing our southern border, and implementing measures that encourage mass illegal immigration.

For another take, best-selling author and firebrand Ann Coulter makes a case in her book that the number is closer to 30 million. First, the Census Bureau, where the initial 11-12 million number comes from, assumes illegal aliens will fill out census forms and admit their status—a faulty assumption for obvious reasons. Second, the bureau adds 10 percent to their estimate, which implies they know they are undercounting.

Third, in 2005, a pair of Bears Stearns analysts studied remittances from the U.S. to Mexico. They found that “while the number of Mexicans living in the United States was supposed to have grown by only 56 percent from 1995 to 2003, remittances from the United States to Mexico grew by almost 200 percent, even as the median weekly wage increased by just 10 percent.” They also found that during the same period, housing permits in immigrant enclaves were vastly different from official figures.

So, there are roughly somewhere between 15 and 30 million foreigners who are living here illegally. Maybe more. We don’t know how many because our immigration system has been dismantled by anti-American zealots and feckless lawmakers who love them some cheap labor.

But increasingly, illegals are not even coming here to work.

Roughly two-thirds of undocumented immigrants have lived in the United States for more than a decade, and many are the parents of U.S.-born children. Until 2013, almost all of those trying to cross the U.S.-Mexico border were Mexican citizens and most were individuals seeking work; since then, Central Americans have made up an increasingly large share, reaching 81 percent [PDF] in 2019. Generally, they are coming not for work but to make asylum claims, and many of them are unaccompanied children. Some of these immigrants have different legal rights from Mexican nationals in the United States: under a 2008 anti–human trafficking law, unaccompanied minors from noncontiguous countries have a right to a hearing before being deported to their home countries. The spike in Central American migration has strained the U.S. immigration system, with more than 1.2 million cases pending in immigration courts.

Why do aliens target America? Well, besides being the freest and richest country in the world, there aren’t any consequences for entering illegally. In this report, we learn that crossing the border illegally in Singapore is punishable by six months in prison and three strokes with a cane. In Russia, you can get two years in a prison labor camp. In Pakistan, trespassers can get up to 10 years in prison, while India allows for up to eight years behind bars.

The U.S.? Illegal entry in the U.S. is a misdemeanor, with a maximum of six months in jail.

The U.S. has one of the world’s weaker laws for illegal entry, according to the data in a study by the Library of Congress, which surveyed statutes in more than 160 nations and released its findings amid a heated debate over whether America’s penalties are too stiff.

Yeah, “too stiff.” If progressive Marxists had their way, we wouldn’t have any borders so that illegals could just waltz right in.

Oh, wait. That’s exactly what we have.

We are a compassionate people, but our current immigration policies put American citizens at risk. There are thousands and thousands of documented crimes committed by squatters like Mexican national David Bonola. Remember Mollie Tibbetts? Killed by a Mexican national living here illegally. How about Kate Steinle? Killed by a Mexican national who was here illegally, who had seven felony convictions and had been deported five times previously.

These men and millions like them violate this nation’s borders with impunity and infect our communities by driving up taxes, increasing the burden on our medical and educational systems, and are never punished for their crime of unauthorized residency.

It takes a killing or a rape to get the authorities’ attention.

In this case, Bonola will likely face punishment for murder, but for Orsolya Gaal, his victim, it’s too late.

Let’s hope it’s not your wife, or daughter, or mother, or friend who’s next.
