Now the NORTHERN border is a mess, too
New York Post ^ | February 17, 2023 | Elise Stefanik

Posted on 02/18/2023 8:07:18 AM PST by billorites

Last week, President Joe Biden took a victory lap following news that our southern border had “only” 156,274 illegal encounters in January. Not only does his spin ignore the fact that last month was the worst January on record in over 20 years for illegal encounters at our southern border; it ignores the worsening cost at our northern border.

My district in upstate New York includes six counties in the Swanton Sector, the most active sector of our northern border. In just the first three months of this fiscal year, Biden’s failure to secure the southern border has increased illegal encounters in the Swanton Sector by over 700%.

And it’s getting worse. Last month, this sector had more illegal encounters than the previous 12 Januarys combined, a direct result of Biden and New York Democrats’ policies, which have incentivized illegal immigrants to pour into the state.

Northern Border Patrol agents, including many from my district, who were deployed with no advance notice to the southern border have found themselves understaffed and overworked throughout Biden’s first term. Even many who were allowed to remain at the northern border were forced to work remotely, processing migrants in Texas — meaning less attention to the north.

Bottom line: Reckless Biden policies have jeopardized national security at the US-Canada border and the operational readiness of its Border Patrol agents there.

With the northern border more vulnerable, migrants from Mexico have begun flying to Canada in the hopes of illegally crossing into the United States — even amid freezing temperatures. For many, the cost to be illegally smuggled in this way is significantly less than at our southern border, a tragic business that has brought in $13 billion for violent criminal cartels in Mexico.

On Biden’s watch, Mexico’s cartels are thriving in New York.

The NYPost reported that the number of illegal Chinese immigrants caught at the southern border during Q4/22 “skyrocketed” 700% over the same period the previous year. We deserve what’s coming our way.

Other powers will eventually mess around with our borders, the way our own DC neocons have messed around with the borders of other nations. The irony is - we will do it to ourselves, as we have a class of woke and cynical people in government who are laying out all the conditions for our own destruction

Riddle me this :

1. Why isn’t Canada checking their backgrounds before giving them visas to land in Canada?

2. Why don’t they just STAY in Canada ( after all, it’s a better welfare country than the USA )?

The whole idea of the regime and the NWO is to eliminate the borders with Canada and Mexico and subject us all to the equal death and tyranny of the coming reset.

This regime has nullified the Constitution and American sovereignty, That said, they claim to be fighting for Ukraine’s sovereignty. But that is a lie. That war is to take away Russian sovereignty and turn it over to the NWO.

I have long expected a dramatic, albeit unreported, increase in Chinese migrants. It really was only a matter of time before Bejing figured out they could take over the US by way of the open borders policy. China’s population is 1.4 billion, the US, 350 million. China wouldn’t miss 50-100 million people. They are far more intelligent and aggressive than the Hispanics and will find it easy to begin to occupy high positions of power and influence in US government and corporate business enterprises. About the time Hispanics can celebrate successfully escaping Cartel violence south of the border, they’ll find their children being rounded up and carted off to Chinese-American run re-education camps.

The Anglo population will be gone, jailed or homeless in LA.

We may be able to tolerate some spanish speakers from the south, but we must not allow any french into this country at all costs. Next thing you know, our streets will be infested with mimes in striped shirts and red berets everywhere

I heard on Fox Business that the Chinese Com Party is paying the Cartel thirty five thousand dollars for each Chinese they can smuggle into US

No border, no nation.
They have basically given it all away.
