We're told that our southern border with Mexico is in a crisis. More than 103,000 illegal aliens streamed across our border last month. That's the very most in more than a decade. In fact, Homeland Security tells us we can expect more than 1.5 million uninvited economic "migrants" to enter the U. S. illegally in 2019. As in, "break in." And upwards of 95% of them are coming from three countries: Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras.
BTW, "economic migrants" is a euphemism for "illegal aliens" who don't qualify for our asylum program. But that doesn't stop them from asking, doncha' know...
Three small, Central American countries, each of them producing caravan after caravan after caravan of people heading our way. Like a tsunami, they come. One after another.
There have been more than 15 caravans emanating from this neck of the woods in just the past couple of years. Each one has grown larger. And each has somehow managed to "walk" the 1,200 miles from the Northern Triangle to Tiajowanna in just a week or two. Speed walkers, aren't they? Funny about that. And the latest caravan is estimated at more than 20,000. And it will be here before June.
Think of it this way: Every month we suffer the arrival of more than an NFL stadium at Super Bowl time just chocked full of uninvited "guests;" guests we must feed, clothe, educate and house. At our taxpayers' expense.
Trump just asked for an additional $4.7 Billion in emergency aid to help pay for that same food and shelter and health care and transportation expense. Funny, they don't seem to have the $5.7 Billion Trump wanted to build the Wall, but they'll most assuredly come up with the $4.7 Billion to grease the illegals way into America...
(BTW, "illegal aliens" is the official term for this class of migrants. They are labeled as such in our immigration laws.)
Our POTUS Trump calls this a "crisis." The Democrat Party and all but one or two of their adherents calls it "another day ending in 'Y." Houston, we have a problem. America, we have a problem...
Let's take a little look at the facts, shall we? As of the most recent statistics the U.N. can provide, Guatemala reported a total of 14,918,099 citizens. That was as of 2015. Honduras had 8,746,623. And El Salvador, 6,141,350. All the latest statistics available. Thus, this "triumvirate" totaled a tad less than 30,000,000 souls among them.
As of our 2010 census, the most recent until we redo it next year, there were 1,044,209 Guatemalans here in America. Legal or illegal, their status was not identified. Not that it would matter, doncha' know. 1,207,016 Hondurans lived here, and 987,264 El Salvadorans rounded out the three. Thus, at least 15% of the population of these three countries already lived in America as of nearly ten years ago!
Today? No one knows. Even the total number of illegal aliens here is disputed. The number varies all the way from 11 million to as many as 22,000,000! And who knows, it just might be twice that number! Or thrice! And as for the "Central Three," the last ten years may well have doubled their numbers here.
Put simply, nobody knows. And seemingly, nobody cares. Except, of course, the people who have to pay for it all. That, ummm, would be, ummm, you and me...
Now, for purposes of background, we can tell within a matter of hours where a cow with Kreutzfelt-Jakob disease ("Mad Cow") was born and raised, and then track down the critter and end the crisis. Within hours! But we DO NOT KNOW who is in our country. And if we let the Democrats have their way...we never will.
Have you noticed an increase in the number of measles cases? Like, the most in the past 25 years? Various governors and mayors are threatening to jail their citizens for failing to get vaccinated, yet we willingly welcome a million aliens without medical records into our midst. Cases of measles and smallpox are being found daily in interdicted migrants. Does that make sense to you?
For the longest time our immigration laws were focused on finding, arresting and deporting single Mexican males who had entered without permission. We snagged them, we arrested them, we deported 95% of them. That was because they were the primary offenders.
Now? Our laws were changed to favor those from the "Northern Triangle," believing that the drug cartels and the civil strife there was sufficient to accord them special status. Those fleeing these countries, especially women and children, were permitted to request asylum and then be processed for permanent residency. Of course, those fleeing crime or strife should (must) claim asylum in the nearest contiguous nation they come to. That would be Mexico. But they don't want to live in Mexico! They say they want their slice of the American Dream! Even though they're not Americans!
Should we blame Trump for improving our economy so very much that illegal aliens just can't help but break in? Are we guilty of having made America an "attractive nuisance?"
Why does this make sense to our more "Progressive" citizens and scare the Hell out of the Conservatives? Because "they" view these interlopers as their newest voting bloc, and "we" view them as invaders who have illegally skulked across our Border and are trying to game our system and sink our economic boat.
The cartels and their "coyotes" are making major bank off this crisis. Latest word is that they charge $6 - 8,000 per migrant. Multiply that times 100k/month and you'll understand the terrific financial draw this scenario has for our criminal gangs down south. It may be even more profitable than drugs, especially considering they have our laws on their side!
(NOTE: As I have suggested in an earlier rant, it might bode well for us to cut out the "coyotes" in the middle and just charge illegals $7k apiece to enter!)
So, let's sum up. Somewhere between 20 - 25% of all Northern Triangle citizens have made their way north so they can enter our back door and steal our jobs and our wealth. And the Democrats absolutely refuse to help change our laws which make this outrage possible. But then again, why would they; that would mean shutting off their never-ending supply of future voters!
So, we can reasonably predict that this situation will continue, unabated, well into the future. Which makes me wonder when, exactly when, will they run out of "migrants?" One can make the case that before too long there won't be anyone left in the Northern Triangle. As in, would the last one out please turn off the lights?
And that seems to me to be a great business opportunity. Since by that time those of us who live in the once-Golden State, which, due to the arrival of these "migrants" will soon be made equivalent to the Northern Triangle, may well wish to emigrate to Guatemala! Or Honduras! Or maybe to El Salvador! Yeah, that's it!
Just think of what we can do with 3 empty countries! Three gorgeous countries with scads of ocean shoreline, completely devoid of those who are looking for a whole lot of something while bringing to us a whole lot of nothing...
Maybe then, after they've turned Lost Angeles into Guatemala...and they're well on their way...perhaps we should build the Wall between Guatemala and Mexico to keep them from coming back in...
