A nation enriched by legal immigrants now buckles from weight of illegal crossers and their crimes | Eastern North Carolina Now

A nursing student bludgeoned to death near a tranquil Georgia college campus. A developmentally disabled person raped in Boston. A mother and son killed in a head-on crash in Colorado. New York’s finest assaulted in the heralded Times Square.

The roll-call of victims violated by Joe Biden’s border policies is rising as fast as the hotel and welfare tabs for sanctuary cities, thrusting an American society that long revered its immigrant heritage into a crisis of epic proportions driven by more than 8 million illegal border crossers since the 46th president took office.

That total surpasses the individual populations of more than half the republic’s states. And the impact by state and city becomes more staggering by the day.

Much of Texas – 53 counties and counting – has declared it is under invasion from illegal aliens. States a thousand or more miles from the southern border are dispatching precious police and National Guard resources to the Lone Star state to try to reinforce lines abandoned by the U.S. government.

Students have been displaced from a New York school to make room for illegal immigrants, while American veterans languish in longer lines so the VA can process health claims for noncitizens who have tried to jump the lawful entry line to America.

A majority of Americans now say the last few years of border policy and history are the very definition of insanity, polling shows. While not a single state that touches the southern border has held its 2024 presidential primary yet, immigration has finished as the top issue of concern in exit polls of GOP primary voters in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina.

We must share this responsibility with other countries.”

But Reagan said the key to that responsibility was being able to “insure adequate legal authority to establish control over immigration.”
