Opinion : Letter to the Editor: Weekend Thoughts about the Border visit

Dear Editor,

1/6/2023

It's a bit too late...

Well, Well...What a surprise announcement.  President Biden now believes we have a border crisis.  Where has he been?  Hey, maybe he believed his VP from her noteworthy appearance on Meet the Press.  "The border is secure."   

He plans to make an appearance in the general area of the border this Sunday.  What a photo-shoot that should be.  I'm sure he'll be smiling and shaking hands and promising big bucks.  I hope someone will write him "appropriate" responses for the questions he'll be asked.  On many occasions,  he can't seem to think of what to say unless he has a written speech or some notes to go by.

After millions and millions of illegals have come from everywhere imaginable, the President now states that he'll allow just 30,000 to come here each month IF they have sponsors.  This pertains to those from Cuba, Venezuela, and two other countries.  Grab a phone book from each large city and start pulling out names,  Joe.  Are we supposed to think that this is his big plan ?  THUMBS DOWN!!  I heard no mention of stopping the ones from Mexico.  [Unless those extra guards are taught to appear scary, or some more barbed wire is tossed around.]

I saw him make an appeal today to immigrants, "Please, Don't come here illegally.  Do it the right way."  I'm sure the millions and millions of immigrants watching TV in their warm housing snickered.  THEY ARE ALREADY HERE being cared for.  I'm certain thousands of our elderly and our poor families who are barely able to turn up the heat or put food on the table are thrilled to death with President Biden as they see federal aid go elsewhere.

The new year 2023 could be a long and grueling year for millions and millions of our Americans!!

Shocking

Every American should have been up early on Sunday morning to watch "Good Morning America."  They showed El Paso where there are masses of immigrants sleeping in front of businesses and on the edge of many streets.  Hundreds and hundreds are huddled in masses wearing blankets and chanting.  They are unhappy with their conditions.  The immigrants will be fed because we must be humanitarians.  [How many of our American taxpayers, elderly, and children are in extreme cold in their own homes this morning and may face little or nothing for breakfast?]  WHERE IS THE CONCERN FOR OUR PEOPLE WHO BELONG HERE?

President Biden talked about the 30,000 that could come here every month if they have a sponsor.  "We need to help them for a short term."  He is joking, right?  He's left out one thing:  the four million immigrants already here.  I thought the sky must have fallen and hit him on the head when he stated that the border is a crisis.  Apparently not.  I want to hear how Biden plans to deal with the masses already here.  How are we going to house, clothe, feed, and give health care to them for years and years and years?  They are illegal!!  What about Jobs?  Schooling?   

If you saw GMA, you would have seen the border.  The cameras scanned the landscape, and there were people three and four abreast extending back as far as the horizon.  They were all moving toward OUR country.  People who desire to come to America for a "good" life.  As I have stated before, many of our people don't know what a "good" life is.  And their chances are dwindling.

The President's plan is like a bandaid on a hole in a dam.  Think about the massive wall crumbling and the water that's already out.

What a Makeover Can Do

Did anyone notice the massive change in EL PASO by Sunday?  Could the Democrats have changed the appearance of the city for the arrival of the President?  The city said No, but the residents said Yes.  Missing:  Huddled groups of immigrants with blankets around them; men, women, and children sleeping in front of businesses; and others just  milling around.  Every part of the city was spit shined.

The President's facial expressions fluctuated from smiling to extremely "concerned."  The last time he was extremely concerned was Trump's claim about the 2020 election. You hated being under O'bama, Joe.  So, DO SOMETHING about the shape this country is in!!

On the National Desk this morning and GMA, they said President Biden promised more aid.  If he had done something about these illegal people coming here, when he first took office; we could have spent millions and millions [soon to be billions] on other problems the country faces.
