Migrants from Africa wait at the U.S. border with Mexico<\/p>\n
It should be obvious, right?<\/p>\n
Note: None of the below applies to LEGAL immigrants.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s an analogy.<\/p>\n
Someone breaks in through the window in your lounge. What do you do? Shoot them dead on the spot (\u201cstand your ground<\/a>\u201d States), arrest them and call the police, chase them away and repair the window, or, as per current US, UK and EU behaviour, throw the elderly relative, veteran or kid out of a bedroom \u00a0(doubling them up in another bedroom) feed the criminal, put the criminal on your health plan, give him access to all of your house and give him an allowance?<\/p>\n Perhaps once the criminal is properly ensconced in your house, you could engage the criminal in conversation like \u201cis climate change so much worse in your home country compared to the US\u201d or \u201cdo those tattoos mean you were imprisoned for drug use, or murder or rape?\u201d or \u201cwere the reports of fentanyl smuggling, murder and rape on the way to y house, exaggerated by five or twenty times or were they much worse?\u201d<\/p>\n The criminal could be male or female, may be diseased, and may be carrying their own child or someone else\u2019s or could be a child between 7 and 17 years old. The chances are though that the criminal is a fit and potentially violent fighting age male.<\/p>\n The equivalent of that analogy is occurring every day all over the western world. In the US there are probably close to 40 million illegal immigrants in the bedrooms of various communities.<\/p>\n NYC mayor Adams just stated that there are 41,000 being accommodated in 151 hotels \u2013 (many owned by the Pakistan government as it happens) \u2013 costing somewhere between 200 bucks and 500 bucks a night. Or rather, billing the City for that much. The actual cost is closer to 20 bucks a night.<\/p>\n (100) NYC is at breaking point \u2013 41,000 illegal immigrants housed 1n 151 hotels \u2013 seeks an increase in Federal aid from 30 million bucks to billions (substack.com)<\/a><\/p>\n Ted Cruz recently stated that 6 million illegal immigrants have crossed the Southern border since Resident Biden ascended his \u201cthrone of shame\u201d.<\/p>\n (15) Senator Ted Cruz on Twitter: “America has seen over 6 million illegal aliens flood through our southern border. It\u2019s a flat out lie from the White House that illegal immigration has dropped 90%. #BidenBorderCrisis https:\/\/t.co\/fTZFYtQvIu” \/ Twitter<\/a><\/p>\n SIX MILLION!!! That is larger than the population of 31 out of 50 US States!<\/p>\n Ellis Island only processed 12 million over the 62 years between 1892 and 1954.<\/p>\n This will make you laugh (or not). The UK just recorded a record 600,000 in net migration for 2022, but this is because the Brits changed the way they calculate the number.<\/p>\n From here:<\/p>\n Our official statistics don\u2019t add up – The Conservative Woman<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cIt transpires that until recently the ONS was estimating immigration from air passenger survey data at some airports.\u201d<\/p>\n Estimating??? There are customs and excise plus immigration posts at al the major border crossing points of the island nation \u2013 channel tunnel, sea ports and at all, not some, airports. Massive amounts of money have been spent on streamlining entry times \u2013 all automated and linked to databases \u2013 and yet the Office of National Statistics (ONS) took data from \u201csome\u201d airports and guessed numbers of immigrants (and emigrants?) that are crucial for planning and allocating resources \u00a0from taxes.<\/p>\n Back to the US. What does illegal immigration cost?<\/p>\n Check this out:<\/p>\n Shocking Cost of the Illegal Immigration Crisis to Americans | The Heritage Foundation<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cAnnually, illegal immigration now costs taxpayers billions of dollars a year. For instance, in states far away from the southern border like Illinois, that cost was $4.59 billion in 2022. That\u2019s $930 per household. Every year.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cBorder communities have long been overwhelmed under these policies. The crisis now costs California $21.76 billion and Texas $8.88 billion annually in education, health care, law enforcement and criminal justice system costs, welfare expenditures, and more.\u201d<\/p>\n Maybe NYC is more expensive than other States \u201cAt a rate of $65,116 per alien, New York City Mayor Eric Adams estimates his city will need to spend $2.8 billion in the next fiscal year to deal with the rapid influx.\u201d<\/p>\n Let\u2019s say, for ease, that each illegal immigrant costs 50,000 bucks a year. Multiply that 50,000 bucks by 6 million for the last 2-3 years \u2013 THREE HUNDRED BILLION BUCKS EACH AND EVERY YEAR.<\/p>\n Every one of those 300 billion dollars is in addition to the budgeted spending in the of local, city, State and Federal jurisdictions \u2013 it is not planned for and either has to be paid for with borrowings \u2013 putting future generations further into debt \u2013 or other spending has to be \u201cdefunded\u201d \u2013 like defunding the police (remember that \u2013 not so much in the MSM headlines now there is record crime, affecting the numbskulls putting the idea forward).<\/p>\n You can check out your State on a map here:<\/p>\n Cost of Illegal Immigration by State 2023 (worldpopulationreview.com)<\/a><\/p>\n Let me suggest a solution.<\/p>\n A large majority of the illegal immigrants – certainly all those receiving benefits – are on government databases. There are records of their names and addresses.<\/p>\n The Biden (mis)Administration flew a whole bunch (tens of thousands?) of illegal immigrants, from the southern border, deep into the US and into cities, with no prior warning to local government or law enforcement \u2013 in the dead of night.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s just one story from 18 months ago.<\/p>\n Psaki Confirms Illegal Immigrants Being Flown to New York in Dead of Night (yahoo.com)<\/a><\/p>\n What\u2019s sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.<\/p>\n Illegal immigrants housed on the taxpayers dime can be bussed to airports tomorrow, facial and DNA records can be taken and then they can be flown back to the nearest safe airport to their home countries.<\/p>\n In future, rather than charter a bunch of jets to fly illegal immigrants deep into the interior or a charter jets to fly them back, have a bunch of armed forces transit planes ready at military bases, bus them to those military bases and ship them back to where they came from.<\/p>\n At the border, prevent recidivism of illegal immigrants by denying anyone entry who has already been shipped out.<\/p>\n To pacify the howls and screeches of the NGO\u2019s who have been instrumental in establishing rat-lines for these millions of illegal immigrants, in collusion with the Biden Administration and drug cartels, give the illegals 500 bucks each on the way out. Pity that the billions of dollars of freshly printed 100 dollar bills were left in Afghanistan when the US surrendered last year.<\/p>\n Rather than 300 billion bucks each year for at least the next 3 years \u2013 A TRILLION BUCKS WORTH \u2013 the cost of shipping out illegal immigrants would be in the tens of millions.<\/p>\n If we had an uncorrupted USAID, we might even save hundreds of billions by giving an additional tens of billions to countries south of Mexico to build the necessary infrastructure that improves standards of living and reduces crime. That, obviously, won\u2019t work unless the US is in direct charge of the projects and even then, corruption and \u201cwokism\u201d is a feature, not a bug, of USAID.<\/p>\n Now, abut those \u201cgot-aways\u201d and those who entered illegally before the Resident started squatting in the White House.<\/p>\n Onwards!<\/p>\n —<\/p>\n Please upgrade to paid, or donate a coffee (I drink a lot of coffee) – \u201cGod Bless You!\u201d if you can\u2019t or don\u2019t want to contribute.
