BIDEN'S BORDER CRISIS

Let's talk immigration. Like many of you, I have traveled to many parts of the world and there is no doubt that we, Americans, live in the best country on earth. There are good reasons that people from all over the world want to live here. 

 

First, they think the America they see in movies is real. Secondly, they believe that people who live here are taken care of from cradle to grave and that money falls off of trees. Most actually want to work for their living, but think they won't actually have to work if they don't want to. They'll still be taken care of. 

 

Imagine if you lived anywhere in Central America. Many cook their food over open fires inside their huts. I am confident breathing disorders are common. If you ever hear any of them describing their lives, you would be appalled. Education, especially for girls, is basically non-existent. Medical care is iffy at best. 

 

They have governments, if you can call them governments. But corruption is the order of the day. People don't pay their taxes so there is no money for social services. That's probably okay because if money was available, the corrupt officials would gobble it up. Police officers cannot be trusted. Let's face it, it's a miserable existence. 

 

Then you have Mexico. Mexico is a country with all the natural resources needed for a good life. They have some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. They have agriculture. They have mining. They have manufacturing. They are prolific traders. There is no reason they should not be a successful country. Except for one little problem. They are one of the most corrupt countries in the world. They steal from their own citizens. They harbor drug cartels. They look the other way when human trafficking abounds. Obviously, they are their own worst enemy. 

 

I have decided the best thing that could happen to Mexico would be for us to take the country as a possession, maybe a fifty-first state, and bring that country into the twenty-first century.  That would end the border crisis, but it would be bad news for the cartels. Their enterprise would end. But it might help with the drug mess in this country. 

 

We all could then travel freely back and forth. American business and ingenuity would create jobs and wealth for the average Mexican citizen. 

 

In the meantime though, we have a major problem. Tens of thousands of so-called immigrants, many of them unescorted children, are lining up on our southern border planning to enter this country illegally. There is absolutely no doubt this surge of migrants was caused by Mr. Loose Lips himself, Joe Biden. The word spread like wildfire that Biden was going to open the border and here they came. Now the Border Control people are overwhelmed. We have run out of room to house these pitiful people. 

 

Of course the border wall was halted immediately on Biden's swearing in. Now the genie is out of the bottle and we are going to have serious issues getting him back in. It's so bad now that even the Democrats are screaming. 

 

Here is a simple fact. We cannot take in everybody in the world who wants to live here. For the most part these are uneducated, unskilled individuals who will ultimately wind up being dependent on the taxpayers to support them. There is a difference between immigration and trespassing. What we have now is Biden's border crisis. 

 

I am completely okay with legal immigration. What's happening now is an invasion, not immigration. Vetted people who aren't carrying diseases and can bring something of value to this country is good.  In the meantime, we must send the thousands on our southern border back to their homes and stop this before it gets any worse.
