Our southern border is non-existent, the federal government having abandoned any pretense of providing for the common defense. Everything is political now, and the hordes of third-world peasants and fit young men from enemy countries are invading at the express invitation of the Democrats and their like-minded anti-Americans in the media and institutions of “higher” learning as they seek to undermine and degrade America’s dominance on the world stage.
Cloaked in risible bumper sticker slogans like #DiversityIsOurStrength and #NoOneIsIllegal, the onslaught is exacting a toll on us.
Caring for illegal aliens currently within the United States could cost American taxpayers up to $451 billion per year, a Monday interim staff report from House Republicans has concluded.
Originally obtained by the New York Post, the 49-page report entitled “The Historic Dollar Costs of DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas’ Open-Border Policies” became public the same day that the House voted to refer a resolution to impeach the eponymous security official to the Homeland Security Committee.
A vote to impeach that was blocked by Democrats and eight Republicans.
“Every day, millions of American taxpayer dollars are spent on costs directly associated with illegal immigration and the unprecedented crisis at the Southwest border sparked by Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas’ policies,” the report begins. “Only a small fraction is ever recouped from the taxes paid by illegal aliens, with the rest falling on the shoulders of American citizens and lawful residents.”
“Mass illegal immigration, accelerated by Mayorkas’ open-borders policies, now represents a massive cost to the federal government and state governments alike, as well as the pocketbooks of private citizens and businesses,” it continues. “The range of costs inflicted by Mayorkas’ border crisis cover everything from emergency medical care to increased demands on law enforcement to housing and shelter benefits for illegal aliens.”
Illegal aliens pay taxes, but they are dwarfed by the outlay from the American taxpayer.
In the end, Republicans drew damning conclusions about Mayorkas’ job performance from the data.
“It is morally unacceptable that American taxpayer dollars should be funneled to those who violate our laws and demand expansive, taxpayer-funded benefits like education, health care, housing, and more,” the report went on. “Many of these individuals will likely represent a drain on American society for the remainder of their days in the United States, constantly absorbing more benefits from the state than they ever contribute–to say nothing of the fact that they have no lawful basis to remain in the country to begin with.”
Just because it’s a partisan report doesn’t mean it isn’t true.
Right on cue, Trump has promised to deport the masses should he win another term in the White House.
Former President Donald Trump is planning a widespread expansion of his first administration’s hardline immigration policies if he is elected to a second term in 2024, including rounding up undocumented immigrants already in the US and placing them in detention camps to await deportation, a source familiar with the plans confirmed to CNN.
The plans, first reported by The New York Times, would necessitate building large camps to house migrants waiting for deportation and tapping federal and local law enforcement to assist with large-scale arrests of undocumented immigrants across the country.
Should Congress refuse to fund the operation, Trump could turn to a tactic used in his first term to secure more funding for a border wall — redirecting funds from the Pentagon, the source confirmed.
In a sane world, Mayorkas would be fired and replaced by the president for his failure to secure the southern border. About 8 million illegal aliens have crossed the border during Biden’s time in office, including about 2 million who are gotaways, the ones that no one knows where they are. They didn’t turn themselves into Border Patrol. They ran and spread out through the country. This is Biden’s world and nothing is sane. He did away with the immigration policies in place at the border on his first day in office. He was desperate to prove he was not like the previous president. Word spread quickly and before anyone knew it, the southern border was overwhelmed with illegal immigrants. The rest is history.
These 2 vacuous phrases (#DiversityIsOurStrength and #NoOneIsIllegal) and more specifically the reasoning or cause of their use and others is nicely addressed in the book “The Dumbest Generation/Grows Up” by Mark Bauerlein. It initially covers the lack of reading in general then moves on to the lack of reasoning derived from reading and the lack of foundation in many people’s opinions. It’s very good.
Had not heard of that book, Dick. Thanks for the tip!
