Anyone with an ounce of commonsense can see the disastrous situation caused by Joe Biden and his diverse but inept Administration. There is no longer a secure boundary between Americans and the criminal migrants streaming into the country from over 155 different countries worldwide. Ordinarily, you do not label someone as a criminal until they have been charged and convicted for a crime. The people wading across the Rio Grande to come into America via the backdoor have committed a crime by their first action in America. There is no defense. These folks are not lost. They know exactly where they are going, where to cross, and what to say when they arrive. We know we have people on the terrorist watch list entering. Gang members, drug smugglers, people involved in sex/people trafficking, and people who are convicted felons in their homeland are among the migrants. We think we have seen it all, but two new byproducts of the Broken Biden Border were detailed this week.

Last year, U.S. Customs and Border Protection reported 37,000 Chinese citizens were apprehended as they illegally crossed the border; that’s 50 times more than two years earlier. Many of the migrants say they made the journey to escape China’s increasingly repressive political climate and sluggish economy. We knew about the Chinese Fentanyl coming across the border, killing 100,000 Americans a year. Now we have over 35,000 illegal Chinese nationals, some of whom may be feeding the Chinese Cartel operated illegal Marijuana growing that is now a national problem. These farms are now in California, Maine, Oregon, Oklahoma, Washington, Oregon, Massachusetts, Michigan and Nevada. This is a National security issue. The Maine Federal delegation has been trying since last sum3in vain to get the DOJ and DHS involved. It is almost a year of pleading, but it is met by apathy, which will solve nothing.

A very dangerous situation has been uncovered in Arizona. High school-age males are recruited to smuggle illegals across the border and transport them to the Phoenix area. These young men are paid up to $1,500 per person to traffic them into America. As many as ten bodies can be crammed into a car, which means $15,000 of dirty money for these adolescents who are now criminals, too. Transporting illegals across the border is dangerous enough, but they are dealing with the Mexican Cartel that has no respect for human life and will kill these young men in a heartbeat.

Joe Biden went to the microphone today to congratulate the Senate for passing the Federal aid bill for Ukraine, Israel, Gaza, and Taiwan. At the same time, he blasted House Republican Leadership, who had already said the bill would not be brought to the floor for debate or vote. He went over the line when he declared anyone who opposes this bill is siding with Putin, is a tyrant, and, like Trump, is against America. This President can make these obscene comments about the money to support Ukraine as it defends its borders, but he refuses to seal our border that has let in enough people since 2021 to be the 34th largest state in the country. By Biden’s thinking, we should try Biden, Harris, and Mayorkas for tyranny. I fear Biden doesn’t see my logic.
