There is a term for those who want "to share in the prosperity of America" with lawbreakers who are illegally in our country. That term is SOCIALIST.

The influx of illegal aliens has contributed a lot to depressing the wages of our own citizens and driving up the housing costs of our own citizens. That has happened in all western countries where the illegal alien moochers have flooded in.

Any honest foreigner would apply to legally immigrate, not sneak across our border. Those Biden let in have included foreigners on the terrorist watch list and also members of multiple violent criminal gangs like MS13 and Tren de Aragua. A rise in illegal immigration in any western country is quickly followed by a rise in crime.

Read the polls, Bill Lee. Americans do not want these moochers in our country.

I am surprised to see a defense of Biden's awful open borders policies presented on the BO. Legal immigrants, the only ones lawfully defined as "immigrants" have to go through extensive vetting and medical testing in their home countries before they are approved to come to America. There are limited slots and in some countries they are difficult to get. These are the TRUE immigrants, in the mold of those who built America, not the illegal aliens who thumb their noses at our immigration laws and take it upon themselves to illegally crash our borders. These are different groups which should be treasted differently.

A legal immigrant has to have an American sponsor to sign an affidavit of support to provide the needs of the immigrant if he or she is unable to do so for themselves. An illegal alien, on the other hand is a freeloader who leans on the American taxpayer to subsidize him or her.

Freeloading illegal aliens cost Americans in a lot of ways other than just through taxes. Our medical costs have skyrocketed due to illegal alien freeloaders who do not pay their bills, and the hospital losses are pushed onto paying patients. That jacks up our medical bills and our health insurance premiums.

Germany is a good example of the enormous cost of these illegal alien migrants, Illegal alien "asylum seekers" now account for 63% of German welfare spending. And remember when FEMA had no funds for hurricane relief last year? The Biden regime had spent that FEMA money on illegal aliens and that is why it was not there for hurricane relief.

What part of "illegal" do you not understand, Bill Lee?

What poppycock. America is NOT the world's welfare state and should not try to be. Did this post get misdirected from the "Daily Worker"? Lee does not seem to grasp that "immigrant" is clearly defined in federal law as only applying to those who apply properly to come to America, are vetted and approved before they arrive. The term does NOT apply to those who arrogantly take the law into their own hands and sneak into the country. The correct definition of those in federal law is "ILLEGAL ALIEN". These lawbreakers need to be rounded up and send home. If we get more immigrants, there is a long waiting list of those honest and honorable applicants who are trying to do it the right way. It is immoral to let the linejumpers in ahead of them. The linejumpers need a quick deportation.

Oh, and "asylum" is mostly a fraud. People claim it when they know they are not entitled to it to get a foot in the door. That fraud needs to be stopped.

Will Simmons, you landed on what I am trying to say. Charity is a virtue.

I am deeply curious as to why the Non Patriot Left are so intractable on the issue of Illegal Aliens remaining in OUR Republic, after creating the Invasion of the Southern Border by Executive Order of Non Patriot President Biden, a pathetic Democratic Socialist man, whose nature is of great treason against our Good People.

Curiosity solved, I am just now reminded why: The Non Patriot Left intended from the onset to entice a new voting block of Illegals to invade our borders; to vote them illegally, with the firm intent to steal yet more elections by doing what they do best ... cheat, and cheat again, while hating the Rule of Law of this Constitutional Republic.

According to the British media, the DOGE committees set up by the UK's Reform Party in the ten local governments it won absolute control of, they have already identified over 40 million pounds sterling of fraud and waste related to climate alarmism in local government budgets, and although the numbers haven't been totaled up yet, it appears they are likely to come up with just as much related to illegal immigration. They have found a lot of outrageous local government spending on illegal aliens.

Where Reform has to work with the Conservative Party for control of a number of other local governments, the process of setting up DOGE committees has been slower, but there is a lot of potential there, too.

Hunter is just one sorry piece of the criminal puzzle of the most corrupt administration in the history of these United States - the Administration of Idiot President Joseph R. Biden ... The titular head of the Biden Crime Family.

Conservative Voter: Your summary in estimation could be the case on all counts; however, in the final analysis, the Center-Left /Left Coalition ("Gang of 4") would have been far better off to have voted in unanimous consent for DOGE for Beaufort County Government.

My 2nd option - DOGE for Beaufort County Governments - may be a bit more politically unwieldy for them to handle as conveniently as they have become accustomed to. DOGE for Beaufort county Governments is a real entity that began in formation on Wednesday, July 9, 2025, and has an obligation to serve from 6 of the 7 committee members, with a big handful of Beaufort County's best governing minds serving in reserve as is needed.

Steve: For whatever reason, the Center-Left /Left Coalition voted it down in short order, after asking no reasonable questions; however, they did find the ambition to act in a rude and derisive manner to the gentleman who held the floor: Commissioner Stan Deatherage ... yours truly, me.

I will admit that their sophistic behavior did anger me since discovering "Waste, Fraud and Abuse" has always been a serious topic for me as my constituents' representative on the Beaufort County Board of Commissioners.

Furthermore, I have to admit that it frustrates me to no end that curtailing any waste, fraud and abuse has Never been of any concern to this Center-Left /Left Coalition.

The concept of DOGE is useful at all levels of government. Our GOP legislators in Raleigh have formed a DOGE operation and put our own Rep. Keith Kidwell in charge of it.

It is even being copied in other countries. In the UK, Nigel Farage's Reform Party is implementing DOGE efforts in the ten local governments they won control of this last election, and is working with the Conservative Party to implement it in local governments where Reform and Conservatives jointly have control.

DOGE has exposed what the Democrats and Deep State bureaucrats were trying to hide in Washington, DC. What is someone trying to hide in Beaufort County?

Hopefully, this autopen scandal will allow the removal of those crooked radical federal judges appointed by use of the Biden regime autopen. They are a disgrace to the courts and to American democracy.
