Do people who claim there is no crisis at the border realize that what is essentially a new city of 100,000+ people cross our border illegally every month right now?

They aren’t vetted for disease, criminal record or connections to gangs or terror groups. It’s a major crisis.

Consider the drain on public resources & emergency services from 100,000+ illegal immigrants per month. They call police, ambulances, fire dept, use public schools, add wait times at hospitals, add traffic on roads, use gov. programs, all causing delays or worse for citizens.

That doesn’t even delve into the deep impact illegal immigration has on affordable housing for Americans which can push many into homelessness. That doesn’t even address the public health crisis it can cause to have a large migration of people who haven’t been vetted for disease.

I’m the son of a legal immigrant. My mom escaped communists & socialists in Cuba. I’m thankful for American generosity. I wouldn’t be alive without it. Mexico is not in the same situation, their government isn’t murdering people. This is largely a flood of economic migrants.

At some point we must face reality and consider the interests of American children. American children means all Americans regardless of race. What position are we putting them in? They will pay the highest price for the left’s refusal to treat this situation as the crisis it is.
