In 2015 then-Vice President Joe Biden explained what he viewed as the ideal immigration policy for America. “An unrelenting stream of immigration NON STOP. NON STOP. Folks like me who are caucasian or European descent for the first time in 2017 we’ll be an absolute minority in the United States of America. ABSOLUTE MINORITY!! Fewer than 50% of the people in America—from then and on—will be white European stock. That’s not a bad thing. That’s the source of our strength” (“Tucker plays Biden in 2015 celebrating ‘unrelenting stream’ of migrants to make whites a minority in US,” By Jon Dougherty, September 23, 2021).
This was the Democrat Party’s immigration policy under Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton was expected to follow with the same. Biden could not have expected that he, more than they, would open the flood gates himself fulfilling his dream. “Promising the poorest people on the planet that they can have endless free, taxpayer-funded services if they show up and break your laws isn’t just stupid. It’s suicidal,” said Tucker Carlson. The Democrat plan was little more than granting illegals citizenship to replace “native-born Americans who do not vote for their party.” In time the Democrats could create a super majority of grateful obedient followers who would keep them in power indefinitely. Biden’s suggestion that “non-white DNA is the source of our strength” smacks of racism—even worse, eugenics (Ibid.).
On the surface the Deep State Plan under Biden is having enormous success. He is expected to bring in at least 15 million illegal aliens before his term ends. The Biden illegal alien avalanche invasion, starting as a million a month, has accelerated doubling that. “About 2 million people—from every country on earth—are entering through the US Southern border every year,” according to Elon Musk who spent time at the border last week (X22 Reports, hereafter not cited, Ep. 3170b, Sept 22, 2023, 29:31).. How bad is it? Charlie Kirk reported, “This is a live look at your country being invaded….More than 8,000 migrants apprehended at US border in one day” (Ep. 3171b, Sept 24 2023, 15:34). This is obviously a highly coordinated invasion. Illegals coming in under Biden are said to “outnumber populations of 15 entire states” (Ep. 3170b, Sept 22, 2023, 29:50). “More than half of voters consider it likely that next year’s election could be decided by illegal immigrants voting” (“Could Voting by Illegal Immigrants Shift 2024 Election?,” Rasmussen Reports, September 28, 2023).
Worse, once in the United States illegals stay. House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan reported, “More than 99% of illegal aliens released by the Biden Administration between Jan 20, 2021, and March 31, 2023 remain in America” (Ep. 3182b, Oct. 9, 2023, 19:04). Biden is not sending any back.
Democrats also want to give American jobs to the illegals. “U.S. offers work permits to half a million Venezuelans already in the country.” But the end goal is to have them vote not just take our jobs. “Biden Admin. to give illegal immigrants photo ID’s inches closer to reality” where they can work, vote and stay (The Daily Caller, Ep 3169b, Sep. 21, 2023, 19:00).
But under the surface the story is turning off Americans—even the Democrats. Rasmussen asked voters, “The spending bill passed by Congress does not include any money to secure the U.S. border against illegal immigration. Would you support or oppose Congress passing a bill to secure the U.S. border?” Support Democrats 65%; Independents 77%; and GOP 81%. All voter’s 74% (Ep. 3182b, Oct. 9, 2023, 15:59). Rasmusson also asked, “Should illegal immigrants be allowed to vote in U.S. elections?” Yes/No: Dems 23%/66%; IND. 9%/84; GOP 5%/93%. All Voters 13%/80%” (Ep. 3175b, Sept. 28, 2023, 51:47). Even most Democrats do not approve of using illegals to cheat in the 2024 presidential election.
Chicago, which voted 96% for Biden, is “begging local politicians to close the borders of Chicago to stop illegals coming from Texas” (Ep. 3167b, Sept. 19, 2023, 28:15). Why? Being a sanctuary city with open arms to all humanity is quite different when you are a thousand miles away and they’re not taking your jobs and welfare services and, in the case of New York City, your motels. “NYC is gearing up to pay over $1,000,000,000 (billion) on just hotels over the next 3 years to house illegal immigrants.” But that’s just the hotel costs. NYC Mayor Eric Adams estimates the total cost of the migrant crisis will be about $12B over the next 3 years. “We are past our breaking point,” he said. “With more than 57,300 individuals currently in our care on an average night, it amounts to $9.8 million a day. Almost $300 million a month and nearly $3.6 billion a year” (“NYC is gearing up to pay over $1,000,000,000 (billion ) on just hotels over the next 3 years to house illegal immigrants,” by Lenox Hill, Nextdoor Daily Digest, Sept. 27, 2023).
But it is not just Chicago and New York City that are suffering from this bankrupting policy. Kevin McCarthy noted, “Democrat Governors of New York, New Jersey, and Massachusetts are declaring emergencies and telling illegal immigrants “to go somewhere else.” He concluded, “Biden’s failed border policies have turned every community in America into a border city” (Ep. 3171b. Sept 24 2023, 19:34).
Since this is an invasion the military has been tracking those crossing the border illegally but that is a story for another column. In Summerville, South Carolina Trump said, “I will begin the largest deportation operation in American history first day as president” (Ep. 3173b, Sept. 26, 2023, 28:15). Trump wants to do as Presidents Herbert Hoover, Harry S. Truman and Dwight D. Eisenhower did when they were confronted with illegal entry violations. Eisenhower’s, 1954—55, Operation Wetback was the most extensive resulting in perhaps 2 million deportations. Trump’s will be much larger and will be aided by the military, again because it is an orchestrated invasion.
