Speakers On Border Explain . . . Surprise! Illegal Immigration Creates New Slave Class
By DEXTER DUGGAN
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — A young girl being smuggled northward into the United States might be sent to New York City, where she’ll be raped daily by multiple men for five years, a national radio talk host told an evening presentation here titled, “Crisis at the Border and the Progressive Assault on America.”
“If you don’t want to stop that, you’re as evil as the coyotes” who smuggle the youngsters in, radio host Sebastian Gorka told about 325 people in a hotel conference room at the May 25 program put together by Phoenix-based talk station KKNT (960 AM). He added, “If you care for humanity, the most humane thing you can do is to build that wall” at the border.
Only about a three-hour drive north of Mexico, the audience here provided timely applause.
Also speaking about the extensive damage being done by Joe Biden’s border policies was national radio talk host Mike Gallagher and U.S. Cong. Andy Biggs (R., Ariz.), while KKNT radio host Seth Leibsohn moderated the gathering.
The four of them had gone down to the border the previous day, May 24, to review the situation. Gallagher said the sheriff in Yuma County, in the southwestern corner of Arizona, Leon Wilmot, said that if Biden expressed serious opposition to the illegal entry, “a lot of this would go away.”
At his own website, Gallagher (mikeonline.com) posted video interviews he did at the border as he complained about the heat, only 100 degrees, which probably made southern Arizonans chuckle. When Gallagher asked Biggs what would be hot, Biggs replied about 115 degrees.
As a resident of Tampa, Fla., didn’t Gallagher encounter his own unpleasant weather — lower in degrees but a lot more humid than the desert?
Gallagher said that Border Patrol agents, “like police departments across America, are resigning en masse” because of conditions under the Biden administration.
One complaint about illegal entry is that border crossers don’t face action in the near future about whether they can remain in the U.S., but are sent off to live in the interior of this nation for years before a date for an administrative review.
However, Gorka depicted a situation worse than that. He said that illegal entrants aren’t even being given a court date to show up and adjudicate their claims but are just told, “Come back when you’re ready.”
“This is the bizarro world we live in,” he said.
Moderator Leibsohn asked how does it happen that people have $8,000 to $12,000 to pay to the cartels to smuggle them in.
Biggs replied that if a person is able to get in and stay, then he’s indentured to the cartels to pay off the sum while working here.
Gorka added later in the program, “When you smuggle a girl in, she could be used for 10 years,” and that people coming in can “be a permanent source of revenue” for these evil organizations.
Those are facts that should be pondered by Democrats and religious organizations who think that by pushing for open borders, they’re only “helping people seek a better life” instead of massively enriching and empowering drug-pushing and sex-trafficking criminal gangs.
The Scottsdale presentation, which lasted nearly an hour and three-quarters, began with a surprise introduction by Arizona Republican Party chairman Kelli Ward, D.O., who took the stage with her familiar arm-waving, ebullient manner to lead the Pledge of Allegiance.
Ward, a prominent supporter of the 2020 Maricopa County election audit being conducted in Phoenix to review the accuracy of the claim that Biden won here, said, “We’re giving pressure where pressure is needed. . . . We are the tip of the spear.”
This is an unprecedented audit in “an unprecedented time in our nation’s history,” she said.
“. . . Our border is not secure,” Ward said, adding that border security “is also local security” — apparently a reference to the fact that the Grand Canyon State shares nearly 380 miles of border with Mexico.
“I’m not going to give up on our country,” she said. “I’m not going to give up on our state.”
She received cheers and applause.
It’s not that only Mexican people cross unauthorized into Arizona. Leibsohn said people from 144 other nations are coming in, including Romania.
The following day on his KKNT afternoon program, Leibsohn asked why people from so many other countries want to get into the U.S. if, as open-borders leftists say, it’s such a terrible, racist place.
Leibsohn started off moderating the evening gathering in Scottsdale by saying there are a lot of ways to assault or take down a country, like rewriting its history, taking away property rights, or erasing its borders.
Exactly 234 years ago, Leibsohn said on May 25, the first meeting of the Constitutional Convention for the future United States occurred with brilliant men in attendance, including the man who would write the Preamble to the U.S. Constitution, Gouverneur Morris.
Rejecting the idea that anyone who manages to sneak into the U.S. should remain here, Leibsohn cited Morris saying that everyone, from a nation to a club, should be able to determine who it will accept as new members.
Illustrating how one person can make a difference in these demanding times, Leibsohn cited the congressman sharing the stage with him, Andy Biggs, chairman of the U.S. House’s conservative Freedom Caucus, who represents some of the southeast of the Phoenix metropolitan area and previously was president of the Arizona State Senate.
In addition to his work in Congress, Biggs often is seen on national media making statements and giving interviews. His biography says that in the 116th Congress, Biggs had a 100 percent rating from National Right to Life.
Biggs told the audience that illegal entrants become indentured to the cartels, who “are ruthless. They don’t care.”
Biden’s U.S. government will transport illegal immigrants anywhere they want to go in this nation, Biggs said.
Talk host Gallagher said men rape girls coming across the border then give them Plan B — the so-called “morning-after pill” — to cause abortions.
Gallagher said border-crossers show up with new clothes and backpacks, but how did they obtain them?
As he spoke, it had been 63 days since Biden named Vice President Kamala Harris as his border czar, Gallagher said, but she hadn’t visited the border or held a press conference about this. “That’s despicable,” he said.
Leibsohn described the border crisis as a “systematic processing of criminality and illegality.”
Gorka said law enforcers on the border “are not allowed to do their job” under Biden.
Although border-crossers “are requesting asylum,” Gorka said, both U.S. and international law define such a request as meaning that if the person goes back home, he’ll be killed. “This is not asylum,” however, when the Biden government heedlessly admits entrants and even sends them long distances into the U.S., like Massachusetts, he said.
Gorka cited a rancher saying he doesn’t know what he’ll find on his land, maybe someone driving 90 mph without lights at night.
No nation can survive an onslaught this way, Gorka said.
“If you want to know” how the U.S. got to this point, Gorka said, “look in the mirror.”
“. . . The conservative movement surrendered the culture to the left. . . . The only thing left for us is radio,” Gorka said.
Gallagher disagreed, pointing to Donald Trump as a political fighter who “does not care” what media figures think of him.
“I’m tired of being told by these tech overlords” what’s acceptable, Gallagher said. “. . . We’re creating our own infrastructure,” although it may not be as big as the overlords’.
Gallagher rejected the “big lie that conservatives are not compassionate,” citing his own listeners donating $437,000 in one month to send the children of people in prison to summer camp, where they also reflect about Jesus.
Biggs agreed that “we are a compassionate people,” but “I know of no bigger attack on humanity right now than the open-borders concept.”
About a year and a half ago, Biggs said, he was told at a briefing that no one crosses the border without an okay by the cartels. “They’re watching every move that’s going on.” Coyotes “hate humanity.”
In his video with Biggs, Gallagher remarked on how unusual it was for him to see, as soon as he arrived at the border, a van taking away a load of illegal immigrants. “That’s kind of a jarring thing to see,” but “this is an everyday occurrence.” Biggs replied, “Nonstop,” with “north of 500 people apprehended” there the previous day, “not counting the unknowns, and the known getaways.”
Gallagher also posted a video interview with Jonathan Lines, a Yuma County supervisor and former Arizona state GOP chairman, who said there’s even food safety involved. He cited dangerous “E. coli outbreaks” caused by unauthorized people walking through farmers’ fields. Also, Lines said, when people slip over the border and evade capture, their intentions here remain unknown.
The Power Of Prayer
Gorka, whose family background includes subjugation by Communist rulers in Europe, said that a solid middle-class country won’t become Communist on its own, so radicals seek control to change it through avenues like the media and the ways teachers are trained.
“These people hate God and Jesus and America,” Gorka said, citing radical activist Saul Alinsky dedicating his Rules for Radicals book to Lucifer.
Biden’s secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas, “said borders are overrated, borders divide us,” Gorka said.
Gallagher offered hope by turning to religion. “Don’t forget the power of prayer, of our faith,” he said. “We are a Judeo-Christian nation. . . . We need to pray for each other.”
Recalling that American colonists managed to gain liberty by defeating the British Empire, “the pinnacle” of power on which the sun never set, Gorka said, “It is up to us whether we become Venezuela. . . . Every single one of us has a role to play.”
