By almost any significant metric, this is not America’s finest hour. We do not appear to be respected or feared economically, militarily, or in any other way by rival nations. Americans do not feel confident about the future, and we are seemingly more polarized along partisan lines than ever before.
Adding to our collective sense of dread is the sight of our nation’s geographic integrity slipping away. Almost daily we see untold numbers of foreign nationals trampling what used to be our southern border, demanding rights and privileges that previously were reserved for citizens and legal residents.
Rather than protect our nation’s sovereignty, the temporary caretakers of the executive branch are actively encouraging its decline. At this point, a credible case can be made that this is not a well-intentioned asylum program spun out of control, but every bit the invasion the images and data tell us it is.
Saying the “I-word” today seems to trigger those who barely follow the news as well as dogmatic anti-borders activists. “It’s not an armed force, so it can’t be an invasion!” is the most common retort.
A Google definition search of the word “invasion” produces three meanings, only one of which refers to an armed force. The others refer to “an incursion by a large number of people or things into a place or sphere of activity,” and “an unwelcome intrusion into another’s domain.”
Either definition seems to fit our current predicament.
In the time since Joe Biden took the oath of office, at least 5.5 million foreign nationals have illegally entered our country. Very few of them will likely ever leave. Sanctuary politicians can recite bumper sticker slogans like “immigrants make our communities stronger,” but the $150 billion price tag for illegal immigration is a net loss for the country. That doesn’t even take into consideration the losses we will experience in terms of higher crime, increased competition for jobs, lower wages, and increasing housing costs, to name just a few.
As word has spread about America’s current abandonment of border security, the rest of the world has taken notice. As a result, more than one-third of those apprehended by the Border Patrol at the Southwest border in the first three months of the last fiscal year were from countries outside Mexico and the Northern Triangle.
At a time when America seems more vulnerable than ever, a growing number of border crossers are coming from countries that either are competitors or sworn enemies of the United States. This past fiscal year, a record 98 illegal aliens on the terror watch list were able to enter the United States illegally. Additionally, there has been a 600 percent increase in illegal aliens who come from countries with thriving terrorist networks.
The Border Patrol is also reporting that 1,667 Chinese nationals have been apprehended at the southern border, and 91 percent of them are single adults. Fox News recently acquired video of a group of well-dressed Chinese citizens walking casually toward the U.S.-Mexico border. After the Chinese spy balloon incident, isn’t anyone entrusted with our national security concerned about these developments?
Further evidence of an invasion is the fact that our other land border is now being penetrated regularly. In the border area between New York state and Canada, local law enforcement in New York is reporting a tenfold increase since last year in the number of people trying to enter illegally from the north. Most of those coming across are Mexican nationals who are able to travel to Canada without visas before crossing illegally into the United States.
Those attempting to enter illegally may have their own individual stories and reasons for their actions, but in military parlance this is what’s known as a pincer movement. With two porous land borders to defend, as well as increased attempts at illegal entry by sea, American sovereignty is now more conceptual than real.
There is a straightforward solution to this problem: Americans need to demand more from their government officials. Ignore the virtue signaling, shaming language, and other manipulation tactics, and insist you will only support those who firmly support immigration enforcement, both at the borders and the nation’s interior. If we don’t take a stand now, there may not be much of a country to defend later.
Heck I am from S Texas and we have been calling an invasion for years.
It would curl their toes if Americans knew what is coming across the border and the failure of our Feral government, both R and D.
“Can We Call It an Invasion Now?”
NO! But nice attempt at DEFLECTION, Mr. Lonergan. We Biden supporters know that the ONLY invasion going on the world today is in Ukraine.
It’s rather OBVIOUS, at least based on the postings of a cadre of operatives here.
Spot on.
The invasion is over. Now it’s an Occupation.
FJB is now allowing Red Chinese operatives and Swillwell type spy girls into the U.S. every day by the thousands. The whole world is laughing at the U.S. and the morons we are allowing to run it. Electing Bidet and Camela wasn’t a very good idea. There are polls out again show FJB’s approval rating has bottomed out again and now Dr. Jill has to address a 17 year old Swedish Meatball with lots of “issues” as DOCTOR when Thunderbutt comes to the US to dress down the turdworlders at the obsolete U.N. LOL!
No no no! We must call it a friendly,visitation by foreigners who wish to contribute to the USA. (Which is a lie as the vast majority of illegals go on welfare for life- almost 70% are on some kind of govenrment program, and some to,the tune of $45,000 a year. Illegal? No problem, come on over and sit on a porch somewhere and drink beer, smoke pot, or do drugs all day and we will give you $45,000 a year, a place to live, schoo.ing, a drivers license, etcetcetc. /s
Illegals there are turning red areas blue too- I wonder how long before there are more illegals there than honest natural born citizens? It’s like a creeping destruction of a red state. Obama was importing “refugees” to red states or counties, no doubt in an effort to turn the area blue.
It would all stop within days if shoot-to-kill ROE are put in place.
The descendants of those illegal entrants will become NBC's in a few short years.
Invasion? Yes, but not by a hostile force. It is an abandonment of our Constitution and a well-thought-out dilution of our culture and its institutions by our nation's internal political opposition.
That anti-MAGA opposition ripped up the President's address to Congress in plain view before the assembly the moment he stopped speaking and they shredded the integrity of our election process shortly thereafter. They are not about to rest on their achievements.
[[Invasion? Yes, but not by a hostile force]]
I’ll have to disagree on that point. We have aggressive mus,it’s and others who hate this country but want our money pouring into this nation. Check out my profile page for statistics on the crimes committed just by illegals. They are extreme.y hostile to us. Also amajority of Muslims when surveyed felt that sharia .aw should dominate in our sovereignty nation, and that was just from those who told the truth- who knows how many of the ones who said no to sharia law question really meant no?
I am not saying all illegals are violent, but a good deal of them are. Some prisons have a majority popu.ztion 9f illegals- nearly 75% are illegal in some prisons, and illegals are a minority in this nation, yet they make up nearly 75% of some prisons?
[[The descendants of those illegal entrants will become NBC’s in a few short years]]
And nearly 3/4 of them will still be on welfare or some other government programs. It’s alie that “illegals just want to come here to work and contribute to USA society” only about 1/4 of them do (and those that do are very hard workers- I’ll not take that away fro m them. They work hard and sometimes for very little money)
I think we are just defining "hostile" differently.
IMO, the criminal offenders and violent people who comprise some part of the group of illegal entrants does not necessarily make the group hostile.
My intended point was that the "group" is amongst us simply via the negligent or intentional machinations, perhaps for personal gain, of certain of our elected officials. In fact, those violent and criminal actors could easily be dealt with given the full attention of the law.
And we certainly agree on the end result.
