In our county, the Census Bureau counted, the illegal population has grown by 40% in the last ten years. This figure does not count all other illegals dropped in our midst overnight by the Biden administration, all bussed or flown from the open southern border, aided by NGOs stationed in the Darien Gap between Colombia and Panama, NGOs financed by U.S. taxpayer dollars.

The arguments from the left about the illegals’ presence in this country is many-fold: we were all migrants/undocumented to this country at some point, we need open borders in order to facilitate the one world government, we need their labor, illegals need safety and a better economic life, and this land was stolen from them in the first place. Hollywood celebrities make sure they remind us of this misleading notion every chance they get together to award prizes to each other.

A person I met from Central America talks about the abject fear that the illegal community lives under daily. One of her friends was picked up on his way to work and deported; now his family of four does not have enough support because the social security benefits are inadequate. Mom must work now to support her family. The father had been in this country for ten years. Why exactly could the father not obtain a work permit?

Three ladies she knew, traveling on the HOV on their way to work, were arrested and deported. She did not know why they were stopped, but they were all here........
