The Impact of Illegal Immigration on One Person, One Family, One Town – Mine.

Today, the Dems and their leaders stood on the Capitol Steps to demonstrate the personal impact of shutting down the government and the pain felt by Federal Employees who have missed a paycheck. Congressmen held up poster sized pics of people that…., well, they looked like me. So, I started thinking about the impact of illegal immigration and how it has affected my family, those around me, the town I love.
It hurts.
While none of us like to see Federal employees used as pawns, it’s time for someone to speak up for Americans, the millions of us who deal with the loopholes in our immigration policies and illegal immigration, day after day, week after week, decade after decade, only to hear another politician promise a solution. Well, we finally do have a politician willing to make a stand, President Trump. Isn’t it odd his desire to fulfill this promise to the people, to resolve our problem of illegal immigration, is met with such……. “resistance”?
Dems are worried about federal employees missing a paycheck.
Well………
Let’s look at how illegal immigration, and loose immigration policies have impacted my life, my family, my community.
Higher Education:
I have a son in college. He’s a senior in Mechanical Engineering.
60%+ of the class is Asian foreign nationals, who surprisingly, cheat on exams, so much so, that professors damn near strip search them before test taking.
You’re worried about missing a paycheck?
K-12 Schools:
My home is in an historic district, lovely neighborhood. I live next door to the school.
School has gone from Level 5 (best) to level 3.
Property taxes, up 528% in 20yrs.
Caught a Somali refugee beating my dog, OVER my fence.
Our town used to be so safe I left the back door open and the keys in the car.
You’re worried about a paycheck?
Churches:
My in-laws started a small Catholic church in our town in ’71. The organ is dedicated to memory of my father-in-law.
Children’s program = 27 illegals + 1 American child.
The illegal families will not contribute to the church, because they don’t have bank accounts………., because they are illegally here.
My church is gone. Although you believe I have no compassion for those less fortunate, because only Dems care about anyone missing a paycheck.
Healthcare:
I’m on the Board for our little hospital. For 20 yrs, we fought to keep it open.
We just closed our emergency room.
I’m a CPA. The cost of illegals is too much to bare.
Our closest emergency room is now 23 minutes away, instead of 4 minutes. Losing an emergency room will hurt all residents of the county, long term, and devalues the property value of every home in town.
Yet, you’re worried about missing a single paycheck?
Commerce/Jobs:
I live in a town w/population of 8K, outside major metro, about 35 minutes away.
In 20 yrs, we lost two major manufacturing facilities.
One employed 1800, which went to Malaysia, another employed 467, went to Mexico. Because of bad trade policies, the people I care about, in the town I love, have missed paychecks for years. You’re worried about a single paycheck but have the gall to call me immoral?
Small Biz:
We did own a prosperous construction company.
We were a bonded company one of only 8 in the state, with a great reputation.
I personally know 150+ American born highly-skilled tradesmen, who are out of work, who consider themselves lucky if their wives have a job. They’ve been replaced by foreign workers, legal and illegal. Proud men, capable and talented men, who built the state. You want my empathy for a single paycheck?
After 4K dead Americans, 60K sexual assaults, 70K dead from drugs, 23% of our prison population, and hundreds of thousands of other crimes, our politicians refuse to protect the American people. Why do we have such incompetent Congressmen?
Yet, Dems complain about Federal employees missing a single paycheck.
Well….., at least they are not complaining from the beach in Puerto Rico.
The President gave Congress 6 months to work on immigration, back in October of 2017. The Republican base was aghast when President Trump offered a compromise of Border Wall/No Visa Lottery/Limit Chain Migration/Extreme Vetting in exchange for 1.8 million DACA adults.
Yet, that was the Schumer Shutdown, which was LAST JANUARY, how quickly the media forgets.
A year later, still, Congress has failed to do their job.
Meanwhile, thousands of illegals, well funded, well organized, are marching to our country with the intention of entering illegally. There’s no respect for our laws. It’s a planned incursion into our country.
Yet, we’re racist.
We’re immoral for wanting protection and a safe country for our children.
We’re foolish, stupid, Nazis.
We’re cruel, harsh, not sympathetic.
At least that’s what our Dem leaders say, from behind their own walls.
