Critically Thinking about Immigration

Let's try to extract some facts from the emotional alibis

{Our prayers are with those adversely affected by Hurricane Helene.}

I’ve avoided writing about the US immigration crisis for two reasons: 1) fully explaining what is going on would take a very long article, and 2) the whole topic is extremely depressing. That said, I’ll attempt an abbreviated version, and bite the bullet for the country.

Immigration Observation #1 —

Let’s start by focusing on just one key aspect of immigration, the supposed justification that we are allowing mass immigration to help disadvantaged people…

I’ll let someone else do the talking:

It amazing to see how separating the wheat from the chaff, and critically thinking about some of our most problematic societal issues, can expose bogus claims.

Immigration Observation #2 —

Let’s try to put US immigration during the Biden-Harris regime into perspective (Note: the data below comes from multiple sources, like here.):

NO ONE KNOWS how many immigrants entered the US in the last four years.

Experts estimate between 10 and 20 million people.

NO ONE KNOWS how many of these immigrants were NOT real hardship cases.

Experts estimate between 25% to 30% people — 3 to 7 million people.

NO ONE KNOWS what happened to many of the migrant children.

Experts estimate 325,000± children are lost (e.g., being sex trafficked)

NO ONE KNOWS how many of these immigrants are hardened criminals.

Experts estimate 100,000± people.

NO ONE KNOWS how many of these immigrants are drug dealers.

Experts estimate 50,000± people.

NO ONE KNOWS how many of these immigrants are terrorists.

Experts estimate 10,000± people.

NO ONE KNOWS how many of these immigrants are spies.

Experts estimate 5,000± people.

NO ONE KNOWS where most of these immigrants are now — esp. the bad actors.

NO ONE KNOWS the cost of allowing all these unscreened, undocumented foreign nationals into the country — but it will easily be many Billions of taxpayer dollars.

Immigration Observation #3 —

Why is it that no one knows any of this vital information? Two primary reasons:

1 - There are a huge unknown number of “getaways” — i.e., foreign nationals who successfully evade any processing. A high percentage of these are bad guys (terrorists, spies, drug dealers, hardened criminals, etc.) who (for obvious reasons) want to avoid any processing. This is the intention of the border wall: to increase the likelihood that incoming people at least have minimum processing.

2 - In the last four years, very few foreign nationals at our Southern border have been properly processed — which takes time. Legitimately checking out thousands of people a day from dozens of foreign countries takes time. Adding 10,000 new border agents would be some help but it would not solve the problem. For example, getting and verifying adequate information from dozens of foreign countries would still take weeks — and where would these thousands of people be held during that time? The end result is that most foreign nationals are allowed in the country with the most minimal of background checks.

Let’s make the extremely optimistic — and unwarranted — assumption that 99% of these foreign nationals are good, hard-working people. Two very obvious observations:

a) Taking the minimum estimate of Biden-Harris immigrants, the 1% who are bad guys amounts to 100,000 people! In other words, we are allowing some 100,000± criminals, terrorists and spies into our country, and have almost zero information as to where they are or what they are doing. The only way that makes any sense is if the political objective of this policy is to bring America down.

b) What about the other group, the 99%? Almost none of those people have any money, have a place to stay, have a job, speak English, etc. Again, the only way that dumping 10± MILLION of these people into our society makes any sense, is if the political objective of this policy is to bring America down.

There is good evidence my estimate that 1% of the foreign nationals are bad guys, is WAY too low. For example, this recent government (ICE) report says Biden-Harris Admin Let a Staggering 650,000 Criminal Illegals Loose in the US — in just one year!!!!

Immigration Observation #4 —

If the real objective is to help disadvantaged people (as has been the claim), why aren’t we first effectively addressing all disadvantaged US citizens (the poor, the homeless, the uneducated, the unhealthy, etc.)?

The fact that we are NOT doing that is clear evidence that — despite repeated assurances to the contrary — this is NOT the real objective of Biden/Harris immigration policies.

Immigration Observation #5 —

Here are some other insights regarding additional negative consequences of having open border policies.

The Bottom Line

The evidence indicates that the Biden-Harris immigration policies will likely result in the most far-reaching, negative consequence to America, of any policy in our history.
