Ravages of Illegal Migration:
America drowns in illegal entries, while struggling against a new Covid variant, Delta. Last month, 250,000 illegals entered the USA without permission. The US Government regularly breaks laws and violates agreements to allow most to remain. What's the cost? One figure cites $400 per person per night for hotels, or $71,666.67 per migrant, yearly, according to Axios. Last July, America spent millions housing newly arrived illegals, whereas 2 million per year would add many billions. Some claim this is overestimated, yet in 2017 it was estimated costs for the entire illegal population was $746.3 billion. And for amnesty? Consider, “If 10 million illegal immigrants receive amnesty, total cost to Social Security and Medicare Part A would be roughly $1.3 trillion in present value, equivalent to a one-time transfer of 6% of GDP.” And: Since 63% of non-citizen households collect government welfare, so “Illegal immigrants cost taxpayers nearly $750 billion over lifetime.”
Stop the Madness:
The new Delta variant is three times as infectious as the first strain. NYTimes says it represents 83% of new cases. And it might be more dangerous. Is America's new covid spike from illegals? Scientific American's article states: “America's Immigration System Is a COVID Superspreader. ICE detention centers have some of the worst outbreaks in the country, endangering immigrants, staff and local communities.” For example, 7,000 illegals passed through McAllen, TX, testing positive for Covid. Meanwhile, a new variant called Lambda has shown up in Dallas.
Bad Policies -- Fools Gold to Leftists:
Like so many other bad Biden policies, whatever their supposed motivation, their impact harms America while empowering the Democrat Party. For example, Biden today begs OPEC countries to pump more oil because petroleum is skyrocketing. Yet, on his first day in office Biden cancelled the massive US-CA Keystone pipeline with its million-barrel a day potential because of ‘Global Warming'. In between, he okayed a Russian pipeline previously blocked for our allies. Does this make sense? So, Global Warming can only occur on US soil, not in Russia, Germany or Arabia? But why not just re-open Keystone?
Everything is Only Politics:
Every decision Biden's team has made is political. But in leftism, socialism, communism and Marxism, there is ONLY POLITICS. The stipulated lack of religion means everything is viewed through the prism of power, not ethics or morality. Therefore, we must use politics and any other sane means to derail the most Marxist administration in US history. Do you doubt Biden's team would infect millions more Americans with Covid to increase Democrat's power by diminishing liberty and putting a chokehold on small businesses, and controlling the economy with mask mandates and vaccine passports? If so, you're living in a fools' paradise and your days of prosperity, freedom and happiness are almost at an end -- and deservedly so.
