A Letter from Texas – the Border

By

 

I feel helpless as I see our Texas communities devastated

As I watch representatives from Texas, Arizona and other border states beg and plead for a stop to the border “crisis” I am dismayed by the complete lack of empathy demonstrated by the current administration.

Americans were promised “humanity, compassion and transparency”.

Where is the humanity and compassion when a nine year old girl drowns crossing the Rio Grande or a 12 year old boy makes the dangerous trip with a smuggler so he can enter the US alone; or two little girls dropped 14 feet from the top of the border wall?

Where is the humanity and compassion when an overflow of illegal aliens is dropped off in border communities of Arizona like Gila Bend in the middle of nowhere in open desert? (Rep Andy Biggs, R-Ariz.)   And where is the humanity and compassion for communities like Hidalgo County (Texas) that already have high poverty rates and do not have resources to accommodate new migrants?  This community is still facing high unemployment rates because of the coronavirus.

“Del Rio Mayor, Bruno Lozano pleaded with President Joe Biden to halt the release of migrants into the area.  Mayor Lozano said the city does not have the resources available to house and care for illegal migrants flooding across the Texas-Mexico border.”  And Democrat US Rep Henry Cuellar released photos showing the conditions of unaccompanied migrant children and families under CBP custody because “it’s important that the public know.”

Yes, the public should know that these children will be in communities across the country soon.  Because, although, this “crisis” was created by greed for power – American citizens will be asked to show “humanity and compassion”.

“Historically, an invasion of this magnitude usually is a consequence of losing a war.”

National Review Online – The Corner

Sept. 26, 2021

Border security/ illegal immigration polls as one of voters’ top concerns along with inflation, crime, abortion, and the economy in general. GOP governors such as Ron DeSantis and Greg Abbott are doing what they can to address the problem, but since border security is fundamentally a federal matter, their powers in this regard remain limited. The GOP minorities in the House and Senate also are limited in addressing the problem — constrained primarily to highlighting the problem and proposing alternate policy prescriptions. Nonetheless, given the scale of the debacle, congressional Republicans — with a few exceptions — have been far less vocal and energetic than the circumstances would predict. Consider:

  • More than 2 million illegal aliens have crossed the border this fiscal year; an estimated 3.5 million have crossed since President Biden took office. Historically, an invasion of this magnitude usually is a consequence of losing a war.
  • Among those who crossed in the last year were 78 terror suspects caught by  Border Patrol. Given that terror suspects have a unique interest in avoiding detection and apprehension, the true figure is much higher. In contrast, DHS reports that between 2017 and 2020 a total of eleven terror suspects were caught  crossing the southern border.
  • DEA seized 15,000 pounds of fentanyl at the border in the last fiscal year. That’s four times the amount seized in 2017. The CDC reports that last year there were a record 70,000 overdose deaths in the U.S. from opioids such as fentanyl.
  • Mark Krikorian calculates the cost to the American taxpayer of the increase in illegal immigration under the Biden administration at $100 billion. This includes costs associated with overwhelmed school systems, swamped benefit programs, and stressed infrastructure.
  • Illegal immigrants also are displacing Americans in the low-skilled labor markets. A hearing before the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights more than a decade ago — when the scale of the problem was significantly smaller — showed that approximately 1 million black workers had been displaced by illegal immigrants,… please read the entire post at NRO.
