Border Crisis News, Nov. 4-9, 2024

The impact of illegal immigration on local communities is seen in various ways. These news items between November 4-8, 2024, are good examples of how the presence of illegal aliens is felt in states and local communities. We must secure the border and deport all illegal aliens.

• Among the many problems resulting from four years of an open and unsecured border is the arrival of sicknesses eradicated or unknown in the United States. The first known case of a more severe strain of “mpox” was confirmed in California by someone who recently traveled from Eastern Africa. Foreigners entering the U.S. should have their health, documentation, and criminal background checked. Americans’ public health and safety should be at the forefront of border security policy.
• A report by the Center for Immigration Studies found that sanctuary cities freed more than 22,000 criminal migrants because they refused to cooperate with federal Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) during President Joe Biden’s time in the White House. The ICE detainers were ignored by sanctuary cities when they released the criminal migrants without cooperating or communicating with ICE. These detainers ask the enforcement agency to hold on to the non-citizen long enough for an ICE agent to arrive and make an apprehension on-site. The release of illegal alien criminals endangers all American citizens. We must put an end to sanctuary cities and states.
• On Nov. 5, two illegal aliens, including one with a loaded machine gun, attacked two New York City police officers while resisting arrest last week. Police spotted one illegal alien trespassing and urinating inside an unauthorized tunnel area of a Bronx subway station. When the police approached and asked for his identification, he refused and resisted being handcuffed. Another illegal alien jumped in to help his friend. During the fight, a loaded and defaced Palmetto State Armory PA-15 firearm fell out of their backpacks. Americans should be concerned that illegal aliens are illegally armed and not afraid to resist the police. This is the result of the liberal/leftist open borders policies and the anti-police movement. Rounding up and deporting illegal aliens who are armed and resistant will create a dangerous situation for all citizens.
• On Nov. 8, a 28-year-old Texas man is in FBI custody after authorities say he attempted to support ISIS and planned a terrorist attack on American soil in Houston. This is another result of the Biden/Harris open borders policy. Authorities said 28-year-old Anas Said was searching for ways to commit violent acts on behalf of the Islamic State in the Houston area. He has been charged with attempting to provide material support to the terrorist group. This is another result of the Biden/Harris open borders policies that endangered Americans.
• Chicago residents spoke out against socialist Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson for funding illegal aliens with their taxes. The Chicago City Council unanimously rejected the mayor’s proposed $300 million tax property tax hike. There is still hope for liberal cities.
• Kansas liberals are sounding an alarm regarding “dire consequences” for businesses if mass deportations happen in the state. However, the main magnet for illegal aliens is employment, and that must be stopped. Furthermore, Americans won’t do the jobs illegals do because the wages and work conditions are usually poor, and the unemployment and welfare benefits for Americans are so good. We must stop illegals from working in the U.S. We must remove the illegal aliens, improve the wages and work conditions, and reform the unemployment and welfare benefits to encourage people to work. Liberals talk about the economic impact of losing cheap illegal alien labor, but they do not mention the costs to taxpayers in crime, health care, education, and other social services.
