Right from the git-go let me be clear … I have a lot of awareness of and sympathy for the masses of impoverished people in Central America. However, my “one brick at a time” solution to this issue is to try to make life better for these individuals … in their own country!
From Townhall:
A billboard in Times Square went up on Thursday, 2/22/24, highlighting how the Biden administration’s failure to secure the border is affecting communities across America. The billboard reads, “Hey Joe! If cops aren’t safe because of your open borders, nobody is,” and shows video of NYPD officers getting assaulted by a group of illegal immigrants last month.”
Meanwhile closer to home from Fox News, on that same day, 2/22/24:
“In San Diego County a migrant center announced it will be forced to close its doors after running out of funds to assist the overwhelming number of asylum-seekers who have illegally crossed into the county.
The mayor of nearby El Cajon, Calif., told Fox News that he fears the welcome center’s closure will quickly become a ‘serious problem’ for his community.
‘Over the past few months, we’ve seen 100,000 migrants come across the San Diego border,’ Mayor Bill Wells told ‘Fox and Friends First.’
‘A lot of those have been absorbed by this county shelter that used taxpayer money. They asked for $3 million and they spent over $6 million and now they say they’re out of money. So we’re going to see migrants congregating in our streets.’
‘I think it’s going to become a pretty serious problem pretty quickly.’
U .S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data obtained by Fox News reveals that nearly 140,000 illegal immigrants in total have crossed into the San Diego sector since Fiscal Year 2024 began on October 1st.
‘The Border Patrol tells us we’re going to go from about 300 drop-offs a day to maybe a thousand drop-offs a day,’ Wells said.”
My question is, “How long before San Diego starts to experience the same, and becomes as dangerous as New York City?”
