2024 Presidential Race is Not Obvious
Dear Editor,
When Biden took office he signed “3 executive orders reversing Trump on immigration.” “Biden has signed 25 other executive orders since taking office on Jan. 20, including orders to halt construction of Trump’s US-Mexico border wall..” (New York Post) Here are some additional facts from a recent Google search:
Our southern border is in a crisis. “Biden admits the border crisis he created is real — but won’t accept any blame.” “But it doesn’t take money or bipartisan amnesty deals to halt the border invasion. It takes an executive order reinstating Trump’s border protections that Biden dismantled on day one. That’s why millions of illegal migrants are flooding into the country. He invited them in.” (New York Post)
“The number of illegal aliens who have entered the interior of the U.S. under the Biden administration now is greater than the population of at least 22 states as well as the District of Columbia. Data released Monday by the House Judiciary Committee reveals that at least 3.8 million illegal aliens either have been released into the nation’s interior or successfully evaded the Border Patrol to enter the country since President Joe Biden took office Jan. 20, 2021.” And, “Data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection, part of DHS, reports that over 5 million illegal aliens were encountered at America’s southern border between the start of the Biden administration and this past March 31.” (msn.com)
“Data from the U.S. Border Patrol (USBP) and Office of Field Operations (OFO) compiled by Newsweek show that the average number of encounters under Biden reached totals of roughly 189,000 per month.” (newsweek.com) “More than 371,000 non-U.S. citizens were stopped when they attempted to enter the United States last month, including those who walked across without permission, lacked proper documents to pass through ports of entry, or were paroled in from abroad, according to U.S. Customs and order Protection data released Friday evening. The previous record of 341,392 was set in August 2023.” (Washington Examiner) That’s more than 5 times the population of Castro Valley of illegal aliens entering our country in a single month!
Through federal and state taxes, WE pay to house, feed, provide medical care, education, transportation, and attorney fees to these illegal aliens.
Governor Newsome just decided that illegal aliens will receive free medical care. While it is humane, with the number of people it is overrunning the system, hospitals, etc., not to mention the crime and cost to taxpayers. And scariest of all is the number of ‘gotaways’ – the people who crossed the border and just go anywhere they want. Do you think there might be some terrorists among them? We are now second-class citizens when compared to illegal aliens.
The 2024 presidential race is not obvious. My suggestion would be to look at the facts and to use common sense in making your choice.
