While illegal migration at the U.S.-Mexico border continues to dominate election year politics, the country's northern border with Canada is also confronting a record-breaking surge in unlawful crossings.
More than 12,200 people were apprehended crossing illegally into the U.S. from Canada in 2023, a big jump from the 3,578 arrested the previous year, The New York Times reported. Through the first four months of fiscal year 2024, the Border Patrol apprehended 4,772 people between ports of entry That’s up from 2,229 apprehensions in the first four months of fiscal year 2023.
Of course, the southern border dwarfs these numbers, where its estimated 10 million illegals (apprehensions and got aways) have crossed since Biden and Harris took office.
Anything being done to discourage this invasion? Just the opposite in California!
The Democrat-controlled California Legislature has passed a bill which would grant undocumented immigrants access to the state’s taxpayer-funded home loan program, which provides up to $150,000 in down payment assistance for eligible first-time home buyers.
California Republicans are urging Governor Newsom to veto the measure, arguing that the bill will incentivize illegal immigration. (Ya think!) Newsom has until September 30th to make a decision on whether he will sign the bill into law.
Some quotes which summarize the situation:
“I didn’t know it was possible to make the border crisis and the housing crisis worse with just one vote, but Democrats found a way…Giving taxpayer-funded housing subsidies to illegal immigrants will drive costs even higher and encourage more chaos at the border.”
Migrants crossing the border illegally “look to California’s current policies like a giant welcome sign…Welcome to California, where illegal immigrants get free healthcare, free food, and now a free home with 0% down. “This is not rocket science. If you’re giving out free stuff, more people are going to come.”
Back in February, Representative Claudia Tenney recognized the situation and pointed to data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection that showed a majority of people on the terrorist watchlist who crossed into the U.S. illegally last year did so along the northern border. “We know there are going to be terror cells and people who are going to do harm to the American people are coming across that border," she said in an interview with Fox.
After inviting this illegal invasion and seeing the results rejected by the majority of Americans, Kamala Harris and the Democrats are now saying they will deal with illegal immigration. Which reminds me of a story Ronald Reagan told.
A woman was getting married for the fourth time and went shopping for a wedding dress.
She picked out a white dress and the saleslady pointed out that white is usually reserved for first time brides who have not…you know…
The bride to be responded that she still qualified.
My first husband died of a heart attack in the limo going to the reception.
My second husband and I got into a terrible fight in the limo and we immediately divorced.
My third husband was a Democrat and all he did was sit on the end of the bed and tell me how good it was going to be.
Reagan was a man for all ages and his story is as true today as in the 1980’s.
If 1% of the 10 million illegals were criminals, that is 100,000 more criminals running loose in the U S A.
If 1/10th of 1% are criminals, that is 10,000 more criminals running loose in the U.S.A.
10,000 criminals, equally divided, gives us 200 would be murderers / rapists / thieves in NY State.
On September 11th 2002, nineteen aliens (19) killed 3,000 Americans.
How are we to protect ourselves?
Democrat policies in California, New York and D.C. are to take away the rights of Americans to defend themselves; those protected by the 2nd Amendment.
In addition to the danger posed by criminal aliens, the Democrats have also pushed defund the police policies, reformed bail laws and decriminalized certain crimes. The ability to personally defund oneself and one’s loved ones are even more vital to us, today.
We used to say, “When the police are minutes away, help is only 1,500 feet per second away.”
That has been amended to say, “When the police might be hours away, help is only 1,500 feet per second away.”
Remember how vital our 2nd Amendment rights have become when you vote.
