Kamala Harris, the U.S. vice president, has a strange idea of what border security means. When asked about it by Chuck Todd of NBC News, she said, “We have a secure border in that it is a priority for our administration.”
Oh.
So, the administration of Joe Biden says what it wants, and just the saying of it, makes it so.
Really?
It makes you wonder what kind of make-believe world Joe and Kamala live in. It certainly isn’t the world the rest of us inhabit, especially the Border Patrol and those responsible for securing our Southern border. Those are the people who report that they are apprehending more than 200,000 people crossing our Southern border illegally, every month! It’s a record and it’s getting worse. Buried in the reporting is the fact that many are criminals, most are not from Mexico, and many are Muslims.
The usual news coverage we see about the illegals, portray them as “just people like us” who only want a good life. That may be the case for some, but certainly not for all, and telling the difference is a challenge.
For instance — Juan Rodriguez Alfaro. He’s 32 years old and from Honduras. Police report that he’s been arrested in Fairfax County, Va., for possibly 21 sexual assaults on women and girls in the area.
Before this arrest, he was wanted for attempted rape and sexual assault in Suffolk County, N.Y. At that time, he had already been deported from the U.S. three times!
Fairfax County, Va., and Suffolk County, N.Y., are both sanctuary jurisdictions which means they are not allowed to turn illegal aliens over to ICE for deportation.
According to a report in Breitbart, police in Virginia have filed a detainer with Fairfax County requesting that Alfaro be turned over to them, but the request is likely to be denied because of their sanctuary policies.
As all this is going on, it has been learned that a shelter for Muslim migrants has been opened in Tijuana, Mexico. The eight-thousand-foot facility, built by the Latina Muslim Foundation, can accommodate up to 150 migrants with housing, medical care, halal means, and legal services. The report by Judicial Watch follows its tracking the flow of Muslims across our border, which according to it is increasing monthly.
An Arab news outlet reported early this year that thousands of Muslims from the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Africa try to reach the U.S. through Mexico every month. The head of a religious immigrant organization in Brazil was quoted as saying that 20 percent of the people moving toward Mexico were Muslims.
While U.S. news reports tend to focus sympathetically on Mexicans and Central Americans moving toward the border, it’s interesting to note that more countries than that are involved in the migration. The news outlets ignore that. There has been a large increase in the number of people from countries responsible for the recruiting of terrorist groups.
In the first month of fiscal year 2022, The Border Patrol’s Del Rio Sector in Texas recorded 28,111 illegals from more than 50 countries — which include Syria, Lebanon, Eritrea, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan. The Taliban is in control in many of those states. These are just the people they apprehended. There is no accounting of how many are the “got aways” and where they went.
Judicial Watch has followed this issue for months and reports that Mexico has become a hotbed of Islamic terrorism which is concentrated at our border. It was found that Islamist jihadists are training in border towns near American cities. They’ve joined forces with the drug cartels to help terrorists stationed in Mexico cross the border and target American cities for possible future attacks.
A number of the leaders of these groups live in varied Mexican cities and while the FBI knows of many of them, and where they are, there is little they can do about it.
Given this situation, the fact that there now is a sanctuary for Muslims near our border, makes the danger even more grave.
The fact that our government is not acknowledging the fact of this situation, and not even showing any real concern about the border situation in general, leaves the average American in a quandary.
We have a president who does not seem concerned about the border situation. We have a vice-president who is supposed to be in charge of the border, yet she has not even been there, and she does not admit there are problems.
The latest figures show that Mexicans account for the largest number of illegal border crossers, followed by Cubans, Guatemalans, Hondurans, Colombians, Nicaraguans, Haitians, Salvadorans, Brazilians, Venezuelans, Russians, and Ecuadoreans. This list does not include those from Muslim countries even though the Border Patrol encountered thousands from Muslim countries.
The headlines over the last week were filled with the news that illegals were sent from Texas and Florida to sanctuary cities in the Northeast — and everyone was shocked! Shocked, I tell you!
I admit, I don’t know why. Those same people have no problem with the fact that towns in the Southwest are inundated with illegals being delivered into their midst and they get no financial help from the feds to care for these people. They don’t seem to be concerned about the dangers to American citizens living there. Yet, when these same illegals are sent to Northern cities that claim to be “sanctuaries” — all “you know what” breaks loose! It’s turned into a political issue and judging by the current situation, promises to last until the election, which isn’t very far away!
I have family and friends living in a border country and I know the dangers they face daily from illegals crossing their property and causing damage, to say nothing of their safety.
What will it take to make our government do what is required to protect our citizens and our country? I don’t know, but it had best happen soon.
