“I’m proud of the American record on culture and economic integration of not only our Muslim communities but African communities, Asian communities, Hispanic communities,” Biden said. “And the wave still continues. It’s not going to stop. Nor should we want it to stop. As a matter of fact, it’s one of the things I think we can be most proud of.” - Vice President Joe Biden 2015
Like most of you, my family came to America through Ellis Island, legally. After the turn of the century, 1900 there were quotas for immigration and when the quota was met, the immigration door was closed. There were quotas for Italians, Germans, Irish, Jews, and many other nationalities and faiths. The thinking was that we needed to replenish the working population of America but we did not want to swamp the system so we would have a lot of people out of work. We did not want a bunch of "bums" floating around looking for handouts or causing trouble. The idea was to assimilate immigrants and have them become American citizens.
There were requirements to emigrate. You needed a sponsor and you had to have a job waiting for you. The immigrant needed to have a place to live. Many immigrants went to night school and learned our history, laws, and the Constitution so they could pass the test to become citizens. As a rule, immigrants learned to love America because this land offered them freedom and the right to upward mobility.
When we compare immigration then to immigration now, it is like night and day. I don't think we can call today's flood of humanity immigration. It is an invasion of people who are entering our country illegally. Most of them are not coming for asylum although they have been told to say they are fleeing oppression. The Biden Administration has paved the way to credit cards, clothing, housing, healthcare, and education at the expense of the taxpayers, the cities, and the states when the illegals want to go.
We look on as our government allows the flood of illegals to pour over our Southern Border. No attempt by the Feds to stop this. The Border Patrol is punished for trying to stop the flow. The job of our border officials is to organize and process illegals and funnel them to the cities of their choice.
The Biden Administration has found a creative way to ferry immigrants into the US from their home country without the scrutiny of the conservative media.
A group of House Republicans fired off a pointed letter to the Biden administration, calling for the president to "immediately terminate" a program that has flown in more than 320,000 migrants into the U.S.
"We write today to express our grave concerns over the Biden administration’s actions to fly approximately 320,000 illegal immigrants from Latin American airports to 43 cities across the United States," the letter from Rep. Russell Fry, R-S.C., to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) acting director Troy Miller said. "These secretive flights have compounded the effects of the already historic crisis at the Southern Border." 1
In the letter, the House asked about the 43 cities where the immigrants were sent but the Biden Administration refuses to answer. "It said the administration refused to list individual airports where people arrived under a Biden “parole” program that allows Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans to stay in the U.S. for two years." 2
"But migrants are not being flown into the U.S. randomly. Under a Biden policy in effect since January 2023, up to 30,000 people from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela can enter the country monthly if they apply online with a financial sponsor and arrive at a specified airport, paying their own way. Biden exercised his “parole” authority, which, under a 1952 law, allows him to admit people “only on a case-by-case basis for urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit.” 3
Under the guise of humanitarianism and the parole authority, whatever that means, the apparatchiks in the Biden Administration have found a way to secretly insert illegals into our country without any scrutiny whatsoever! Wow, what a scam! Who wants this and who is getting the payoff? I am pissed that our government is doing this behind our backs and there is nothing we can do about it. At least the House is attempting to stop the madness. They will get no help from the FBI or the Department of Justice. We have been down that road before.
All we have left is the power to vote. We better do it this November 5th or our Republic is finished.
