The heartbeat of the country grows weak, from the White House to the Congress. Our warfighters, as well as the people they risk their lives for, have been forsaken! The weak mayors of the major sanctuary cities have caused a painful truth to decay – a truth that speaks volumes about our societal priorities, moral compass and national security vulnerabilities. It's a narrative of opulence furthered by the extravagance of the current administration, who believe that the average American is a peon for them to ignore. As the story of illegal border crossings unfolds, a stark reality is faced by those who have sworn to defend our nation: our military personnel, both active and retired, have been abandoned for drugs, sex and the importation of indentured votes.
The iconic symbol of American governance – the White House, for centuries, has stood as a beacon of democracy, a bastion of leadership; what an oxymoron! In recent years, it has transformed into a bastion of deceit and absurdity run by oxymoronic leaders. Where luxury knows no bounds. The opulence within its walls is a testament to excess, a stark reminder of the abyss that separates the apparent ruling elite from the average peon.
The hallowed halls of Congress, particularly the U.S. House of Representatives, are not immune to this culture of excess. From exorbitant travel expenses and lack of passion to fight for control of our southern border, continued spending of dollars on hearings that result in no result, only unchecked spending of taxpayer dollars. Therefore, our active military personnel, stationed both at home and abroad, struggling to make ends meet, lacking updated equipment and always knowing that support will be slow to come. While at home, sanctuary cities, such as New York City, where the treatment of illegal immigrants stands in stark contrast to the plight of our servicemen and women. These individuals, who continue to break the laws by entering the country illegally, are rewarded with immediate benefits: free housing, free healthcare and monthly stipends that exceed the most generous welfare programs.
The injustice doesn't end there! Littered in the ranks of these illegal immigrants are a significant number of cartel drug mules, trafficking deadly substances like fentanyl and other illicit drugs into our communities. According to recent statistics, a substantial portion of the illegal drugs entering the United States are transported by these individuals, intensifying the opioid crisis and fueling addiction and death on our streets. The Border Patrol has stopped and arrested or returned many illegals who are trying to cross the southern border and are on the terrorist watch list or convicted murderers from other countries, exploiting the gaps in our immigration enforcement to infiltrate our communities and commit acts of violence against innocent civilians. The risks posed by these illegal immigrants are tangible, yet they are afforded the same privileges and benefits as law-abiding citizens and our brave military personnel.
The horror of this situation is the disproportionate picture on the parent side. The question every person in America should ask is, why? In states like New York, Colorado, New Jersey and California, illegal immigrants receive monthly stipends ranging from $2,440 to over $5,000 – a sum that far exceeds what many of our military personnel earn in a month. This gross disparity is a slap in the face to those who have sacrificed so much for our country. Our military personnel, both active and retired, have answered the call of duty time and time again. They have put their lives on the line to protect our freedoms and uphold the values that define us as a nation. And yet, when they return home, they are met with indifference and neglect. It's time to put the needs of our warfighters over illegal immigrants who have contributed nothing to our society and, in some cases, pose significant threats to our security. We owe it to our active military and veterans to ensure that they are taken care of, both during their service and thereafter. Let's honor those who serve and protect.
In conclusion, the opulence of the White House, coupled with the absurd treatment of illegal immigrants in sanctuary cities, stands in contrast to the financial struggles faced by our military and veterans. The grave national security risks our country faces since these illegals have been blatantly allowed to cross our borders. The disregard for those who have sacrificed so much for our country and the safety of our citizens is reprehensible and a betrayal of the values that we hold dear as Americans. It's time to right this wrong and make sure that our warfighters are given the support and respect that they deserve. Anything less is an injustice. America, everything all at once is a blindsided attempt to confuse us.
Americans, keep your eye on the prize and vote in November 2024!
