Watchman: Despite the Fact That Republicans Have Been Campaigning on the Topic of Immigration for Decades, They Have Not Taken the Basic Steps That Are Required to Protect the Border

Despite the fact that Republicans have been campaigning on the topic of immigration for decades, they have not taken the basic steps that are required to protect the border.As an illustration, by the time President Trump entered office in 2017, Republicans controlled both chambers of Congress; nonetheless, the wall that he vowed to build along the border was never constructed. Deportations of illegal immigrants in large numbers did not take place.

There were also no widespread arrests of the employers who were responsible for facilitating the influx of individuals by employing those who were not authorized to work in the United States. In the same manner as before, taxpayers were compelled to continue footing the price.This is the expectation that those in positions of power have for law-abiding citizens: While you are paying us to undercut your salaries and make your neighborhoods more congested and less safe, you should pay attention to your work and keep quiet. Persons who whine excessively loudly are labeled with the dreaded “R” word, which is a racist epithet.

The same ruling class will make certain that Abbott’s border maneuverings do not have a big impact on the situation. The administration of Vice President Joe Biden has exerted a great deal more effort to obstruct the state’s security procedures than it has to police the border. The government had enough of manpower to tear out the concertina wire that Texas military were using to close off high-traffic crossing areas, despite the fact that it claimed it did not have enough border agents to successfully protect the border. Following the installation of floating barriers in the Rio Grande River by the state of Texas, the administration filed a lawsuit against the state, stating that Abbott was putting migrants in risk.

Despite the fact that the Texas National Guard has taken possession of a park located at a crucial crossing point, Vice President Biden can easily federalize those troops in order to achieve his goals, as some Democratic leaders have already suggested. As a means of preventing immigrants who violate US law from experiencing inconvenience, he wants to make certain that Border Patrol personnel are able to carry out their vital mission of removing state barriers.

There has never been a president who has oiled the skids of the invasion like Biden has. Agents of the Border Patrol came into contact with about 2.48 million illegal aliens during the most recent fiscal year of the United States government, which ended on September 30. In addition, the number of illegal aliens met by Border Patrol agents reached an all-time high of more than 300,000 in only the previous month alone.Individuals who are ‘encountered’ are not redirected in any way. In the name of ostensibly waiting for court hearings, the administration has allowed millions of illegal immigrants and phony “asylum seekers” to enter the nation.

There is a high probability that many immigrants will choose to skip such hearings when their court date finally arrives because they will not take place for years or even decades. There have been millions more people who have crossed the border as “getaways,” without being “processed” by the Border Patrol.It should not come as a surprise that the growth in border traffic has been accompanied by increases in the trafficking of both drugs and children.

Every month, hundreds of people in the United States lose their lives as a result of fentanyl that is brought across the border by drug gangs. Fentanyl and other synthetic opioids were the primary causes of death for more than 112,000 people in the United States who died as a result of drug overdoses between May 2022 and May 2023. At the same time, there has been a 56-fold increase in the number of encounters that Border Patrol agents have had with individuals who have been placed on the United States’ system of terrorist watch lists.

The situation has deteriorated to the point where people in the United States, regardless of their political leanings or demographic classifications, do not only consider it a crisis but rather an invasion. This month, a study conducted by Rasmussen Reports revealed that over two-thirds of people in the United States, including fifty-five percent of Democrats, are in agreement that the country is currently being invaded.
