Immigration is the most critical issue facing America. In recent weeks, ICE has been busy. There have been lots of raids and approximately 800 daily arrests of illegal immigrants nationwide. The administration wants one million deportations this year. In Los Angeles, this crackdown triggered protests that turned violent.
President Trump sent National Guard troops and even a small number of Marines to enforce the
law. Leftwing agitators in other cities seem to be gearing up for more protests.
I’m not sure that siding with violent protesters waving foreign flags is going to win the
left mainstream support. Indeed, some of the images from Los Angeles will only
alienate middle America. Polls now show 65% support for mass deportations. As
Stephen Miller, Trump’s chief of staff, wryly observed, such protests could boost the
President’s approval rating past 60%.
For years, immigration rules have simply not been enforced. As an immigrant to
America that came in via a laborious and costly process, it annoys me that other people
can come in by simply ignoring the rules - and the authorities turned a blind eye.
It is vital that Trump wins the fight to be able to remove those that come into America
illegally. If you don’t have borders, you won’t have a country. Don’t just take my word for
it. Look at what is happening on the other side of the Atlantic. Today, only around a
third of school children in London are English. Sweden is projected to be 30 percent
Muslim by 2050. Austria and Germany 20 percent and Britain almost 18 percent.
Today not a single nation in the Western hemisphere has a total fertility rate above replacement level – not even Haiti. Birth rates everywhere from Mexico to Chile have nosedived. What this means is that if America fails to control her borders and remove those that come here illegally, you may not get the immigration you think you’re going to get. You could end up with a very different sort of America. What if the melting pot won’t melt? What if cultural convergence becomes cultural divergence? America needs an immigration policy that works for America’s long term interests and is enforced accordingly. I fear that unless Trump wins this fight, no one is going to bother enforcing immigration law again. If that happens, the consequences would be catastrophic.

The Biden administration inactions in ignoring immigration laws will haunt America forever. We have not begun to experience the real harm which will be wrought in our country.
12:20 is, and will be, today's winner in a big way unless they have a hell of a response.
The sad part is we cannot blame it all on SloJoe. He was not the person making the decisions. Maybe some day we will learn who was the real president during SloJoe's time in office.
There is zero evidence the "melting pot" theory is valid, especially after seeing the recent allegiances to Mexico, Palestine, and Iran in "protests."
