Thousands of aspiring illegal aliens have marched their way
up through Central America and Mexico and are closing in on the
U.S./Mexican border. Some of these individuals have reportedly split off
from the caravan and have managed to enter the United States without
inspection.
They have been encouraged to
participate in this massive caravan by our own political “leaders” from
both parties. Think about how frequently politicians from both particles
have stated that since we cannot deport the millions of illegal aliens
who are present in the United States, all we can do is to find a way to
“get them out of the shadows” and provide them with lawful status. The
Democrats insist on providing millions of illegal aliens with U.S.
citizenship while the supposedly “tough” Republicans state that they
will “only” provide them with lawful status and permission to work.
So now the debate is over whether or not to provide illegal aliens
with citizenship! That is one hell of an example of “bait and switch”
foisted on America by the Democrats and the Republicans who are
colluding with each other.
Meanwhile a
growing list of “Sanctuary Cities” and “Sanctuary States” promise to
harbor and shield them from detection by ICE and even permit them to get
driver’s licenses while illegal alien students are being offered
incentives such as in-state tuition.
Furthermore, as President Trump has stated, not all of them are citizens of Central American countries.
Caravans of trucks and other vehicles have been brought in to
facilitate the movement of thousands of people heading towards the
United States, yet precious little information appears available to
determine who is actually behind any of this. But clearly this is a
carefully organized and orchestrated effort and the list of potential
co-conspirators has to include the drug cartels and, as I have noted in
recent articles, Iran and its client terrorist organization, Hezbollah
that now works hand-in-glove with those cartels.
As I wrote in a recent article, the President of Guatemala has stated
that his government has recently arrested and deported members of ISIS
back to their home countries in the Middle East. He has also stated that
he has information that cash-strapped Venezuela has helped to bankroll
this invasion-in-the-making. My concern is that Iran and other
adversaries of the United States may have a hand in all of this, and
that the caravan may actually be a Trojan Horse, a possibility that has
been all but ignored by the mainstream media.
What has also been ignored is that if this caravan of “migrants,”
actually aspiring illegal aliens, succeeds in entering the United States
by the ploy of filing spurious claims for asylum, this will come to be
looked upon as the day that such caravans become the “new normal” and
the day America forfeited its sovereignty and its security.
Most of the aliens who make applications for asylum disappear after
they are paroled into the United States, ostensibly to pursue their
asylum applications.
Advocates for a
borderless United States and immigration anarchy have come to describe
the tactic of massive numbers of aliens showing up at ports of entry
along the U.S./Mexican border and claiming “credible fear” to seek
asylum as abiding by our immigration laws.
Let’s be crystal clear. Immigration fraud is not only illegal, but it
is the proven tactic of choice of international terrorists, criminals
and fugitives who seek to enter the United States for nefarious
purposes. That was the predication for my article,
"Immigration Fraud- Lies That Kill."
Aliens who seek to enter the United States are required to apply for
and receive visas prior to applying for admission as a U.S. port of
entry. The only exception to this rule are aliens who are citizens of
countries that participate in the Visa Waiver Program. That program
incidentally should have been terminated the morning after the terror
attacks of September 11, 2001. Back then 26 countries participated in
that wrong-headed program; today 38 countries are participants. I
addressed this issue in my article,
"It’s Time To End The Visa Waiver Program."
The Visa Waiver Program (VWP) is one of many examples of corruption of
our government that has yielded its authority and responsibilities, even
where national security is concerned, to those who bribe our
politicians through “campaign contributions.”
Neither political party has “clean hands.”
Today even as the “lame duck” session of Congress begins, efforts by
the outgoing Republicans to supposedly “fix” our immigration system are
not willing to hire additional ICE agents. Laws and regulations mean
nothing unless an adequate number of law enforcement agents can conduct
investigation and enforce the laws.
As I wrote in my article, "
Sanctuary Country - Immigration failures by design,"
while the Democrats have been transparent in their ultimate goals of
eradicating America’s borders and terminating the enforcement of our
immigration laws that even include the deportation of murderers and drug
traffickers, the Republicans have done precious little to support
meaningful immigration law enforcement.
This is how my article began:
The idea of writing about how America has become a “Sanctuary
Country” came to me less than two months before demonstrators and,
incredibly, leaders of the Democratic Party began demanding that ICE
(Immigration and Customs Enforcement) be completely disbanded and
terminate the enforcement of our nation’s immigration laws.
My consternation led me to think back to a Congressional hearing at
which I participated in 2005 and at which Rep. John Hostettler, then
Chairman of the Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on Immigration and
Border Security, expressed frustration over how the very structure of
the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the inclusion of a divided
immigration law enforcement program had come to be created, hobbling
border security and immigration law enforcement. Rep. Hostettler warned
that immigration enforcement must not take a “back seat to customs or
agriculture” and that it should be shielded from political pressures. He
observed that the structure of DHS itself violated the Homeland
Security Act which was enacted in 2002 roughly one year after the terror
attacks of September 11, 2001. This was the enabling legislation that
created the DHS, which was supposed to address the myriad of
vulnerabilities that the 9/11 terrorists had exploited, enabling them to
enter the United States and carry out their deadly attacks.
Let’s not forget that the “C” in ICE stands for “Customs,” an area of
law that has nothing to do with immigration. In fact, before the
creation of the DHS the U.S. Customs Service operated under the auspices
of the Treasury Department while the former INS (Immigration and
Naturalization Service) was an element of the Justice Department.
As we consider the extreme politicization of immigration law
enforcement, consider these opening remarks by Chairman Hostettler from
that hearing well over a decade ago:
“The
9/11 terrorists all came to the U.S. with-out weapons or
contraband—Added customs enforcement would not have stopped 9/11 from
happening. What might have foiled al Qaeda’s plan was additional
immigration focus, vetting, and enforcement. And so what is needed is
recognition that, one, immigration is a very important national security
issue that cannot take a back seat to customs or agriculture. Two,
immigration is a very complex issue, and immigration enforcement
agencies need experts in immigration enforcement. And three, the
leadership of our immigration agencies should be shielded from political
pressures to act in a way which could compromise the Nation’s
security.”
Even in the wake of the terror
attacks of 9/11 the administration of George W. Bush made certain to
stymie immigration law enforcement and border security. This was
incomprehensible, especially considering that it had became immediately
apparent that multiple failures of the immigration system enabled the
terrorists to enter the United States, embed themselves and then carry
out the most horrific terror attack, actually a mass murder where the
death count continues to climb as more people, primarily first
responders, succumb to illness directly attributable to the toxins they
ingested when the World Trade Center Complex collapsed into a tangled
mess of rubble containing the pulverized remains of innocent victims.
Some of those first responders who, even with their bare hands, searched
frantically for survivors and human remains, continued to sift through
the “pile” as the towering wreckage at “Ground Zero” came to be known.
Today there are approximately six thousand ICE agents to enforce not
only the immigration laws but a laundry list of other laws throughout
the United States. By being given the responsibility to enforce those
other laws, ICE agents are kept from enforcing the immigration laws.
Even beyond the issues of national security and public safety,
flooding the United States with huge numbers of foreign workers provides
unfair competition for American and lawful immigrant workers, stretches
our limited resources and infrastructure to the breaking point and
overwhelms our schools and hospitals.
For
unscrupulous politicians, however, the immigration system has become a
“delivery system” which meets the demands of the campaign contributors
that delivers an unlimited supply of cheap exploitable labor, foreign
tourists, foreign students and, for the immigration lawyers, an
unlimited supply of clients.
Finally,
let’s remember that many politicians are lawyers and they are eager to
see ever more “clients” entering the United States.
