Personal Story: As I See It Part V
Open Borders
The Democrats demand open borders and deny that our illegal immigration problem is a problem. Illegal immigration is a problem in this country whether you want to admit it or not. No one said anything about legal immigration for those who go through the process. Yet the media does their usual spin; anyone who speaks against the criminal trespassers of our borders is a racist, because obviously if you talk about needing to come to this country using the LEGAL processes, you just must hate brown people. What country doesn’t protect their borders? Illegal immigration costs California alone billions of dollars. The Democrats just want to encourage illegal immigration by broadcasting that border crossers can have everything for free, so that they can attract new illegal voters. Yes, illegal immigrants are much more likely to commit crimes; it is a statistical fact. Legal immigrants are much less likely to commit a crime, maybe because they respect our laws and value the freedom this country offers or DID offer.
Our country, and especially California, has a huge problem with homelessness. Why are we trying to attract people from all over the world that need full public assistance when we can’t even solve our own homeless problems? The influx of uneducated, unskilled, people with no ability to melt into the melting pot has put a huge strain on all aspects of life for all people, except for the ultra-wealthy celebrity Hollywood people who seem oblivious to real life… until a homeless person spits on them, attacks them, or litters their neighborhood with feces and needles.
The Democrat solution is to ignore the problem, or just tax the American citizen more to fund more entitlements and programs, or their other solution, pass stupid laws. Los Angeles passed a law that made it only a misdemeanor to shoplift up to $950 worth of goods from businesses. Was the purpose of this misguided law to help the homeless at the expense of the local businesses? The result is as any reasonable person would expect. It’s a shoplifting free-for-all. Thieves, often in groups, shoplift up to $950 worth of goods each, some bringing calculators. Then they set up shop down the street and sell the goods. Organized shoplifting rings also benefit, taking advantage of these laws, amounting to millions in losses. Stolen merchandise often ends up being sold on Amazon. Merchants are left taking the hit with no recourse. After San Francisco passed the same stupid law, shoplifting from transients and organized rings got so bad, many businesses packed up and left the city.
I am in no way claiming that all homeless people or shoplifters are illegal immigrants. However, illegalimmigration does greatly contribute to the destruction of this country, through many means, including loss of jobs, higher taxes, overwhelmed education and health resources, and increased crime.
Mentioning crime as it relates to criminal trespassers will again earn you the title of racist. It is astounding to me that the Democratic party just sloughs over the issues of human trafficking that are related to the influx of illegal border crossers, not to mention the number of criminals, rapists, drug traffickers, terrorists, and gang members (like MS-13) that have gained entry in the mix. I read the immigration numbers right before the 2016 election that out of the most recent 300,000 or so people who came into the US through Mexico, over 3,000 were flagged as having connections to terrorist groups. Yet, Obama and Hillary, during their reign, ordered Border Patrol to stand down and release them into this country. Hillary’s dream was always open borders regardless of the consequences to this country’s safety, and the rest of the Democratic politicians to this day follow suit. With the influx of hundreds of thousands of unvetted Syrian refuges in previous years, Biden’s Afghan mess, and the flood of people coming through our Southern border, we are straight on the path to welcoming more crime and terror on our soil. This is not about racism, or Islamophobia; it is about facts. The Leftist Media has ignored the number of recently arrived Afghans that are on terror watch lists, and the crimes that are being committed. Several Afghans are charged with raping children in Montana and Wisconsin, and a group violently raped a female solder at Fort Bliss, in New Mexico. These are just a few examples.
Are the Democrats really that ignorant to the facts and the enormous toll their open borders policies have had on all aspects of life in this country? The strain the lax immigration system has put on our educational system in California alone, is mind-numbing, literally. For the elite celebrity who sends their children to expensive private schools costing $35,000/year or more, why do you condemn parents who complain about the Los Angeles Unified cesspool? My daughter’s supposed Honors classroom in the 3rd grade taught spelling words such as “it”, “and”, and “the”, hardly appropriate work for this age. The math was also at the preschool level because there were only 3 English speakers in the classroom. Her math worksheets would have picture word problems. For example, three fish would be displayed and the math problem was “Can you color 2 fish blue?” All courses are taught focused on the lowest common denominator, usually the non-English speaker. I do notthink that non-English speakers are less intelligent, but it is definitely a handicap not to speak this country’s language.
Oh, and let’s not forget that Math is now racist, and no advanced math classes can be taught in LAUSD. Dragging gifted math students down, so as not to offend lower performers is now the rule. Encouraging stupidity and low performance is the Democrats’ solution to such a high number of students in the system not being functional at grade level. The Democrats’ other solution to low performing schools and an overwhelmed system? Vote to ban homeschooling and charter schools. I’m sure with all the parents withdrawing their kids from the system, the Left, and their powerful Leftist Teacher’s Union, is becoming increasingly concerned they may have fewer chances to brainwash your child. This catastrophe has spread to the whole country unfortunately,
Trump’s policies on illegal immigration had begun to work, as did the portion of border wall that was completed. The Biden administration however has turned the border into an open turnstile. The hypocrisy again is astounding. While Americans are trapped in masks, told not to congregate, and denied access unless vaccinated, illegal border crossers are coming in hoards, many of them sick with Covid, and shipped throughout the U.S. Americans are losing their jobs because of the Democrats’ vaccine mandates, but they proclaim that our illegal border crossers don’t need a vaccine passport. Even portions of the functioning border wall have been removed to make access easier. Unfortunately, the border mess is only going to get worse with the Democrats in charge. Within the period between Joe Biden taking office and the publishing of this article, approximately 1.4 million illegal border crossings have occurred. It is obvious, the Left will do anything, and risk everything, to buy more voters.
