Immigration Watch International (2): Angel Mom: DeSantis Will Stop the Invasion and Secure Our Border

Angel Mom: DeSantis Will Stop the Invasion and Secure Our Border

Millions of illegal aliens have entered the United States during Biden's administration, including criminal aliens and individuals suspected by the U.S. government of terrorism. And thanks to Biden, border patrol lacks the needed resources, manpower and policy support to do their job effectively.

The border wall isn’t close to being finished. Much of the border has no barrier at all. The Mexican drug cartels are trafficking humans and drugs across the border at record levels. Fentanyl is now the leading killer of Americans between the ages of 18 and 50.

The long-term failure to secure our border has touched millions of Americans in their daily lives; I know this because it has touched my family, in the most severe way.

My family is an Angel Family. I am an Angel Mother.

In 2007, my son, Brandon was only three years out of high school and engaged to be married. On his lunch break, he was killed by a twice-deported illegal immigrant. At trial, the man who killed my son was sentenced to only two years in jail, and then deported for a third time.

No family should have to go through what we went through.

But this catastrophe isn’t just affecting American citizens; it’s also completely inhumane for the migrants themselves.

Through soft policies and softer public statements, the Biden Administration has told potential migrants that the door to the United States is open, so long as they make a dangerous journey in the hands of Mexican drug cartels. Children are being brought across the border in the hands of unrelated adults and gangsters, who sometimes “rent” children from parents to have an easier time crossing.

This is wrong, and Governor DeSantis will put a stop to it. He will shut down illegal entries and build the wall, once and for all. He won’t make excuses—he’ll just get the job done. That’s what he’s done in Florida.

After Hurricane Ian, Pine Island in Florida was completely cut off from mainland Florida. Governor DeSantis got the repairs done in three days.

Governor DeSantis will end catch-and-release and reimpose Remain in Mexico to stop the flood of phony asylum claims. He will increase Border Patrol pay to recruit more agents make sure that even if illegal immigrants cross, they will be deported.

As for the cartels: he will designate them as Transnational Criminal Organizations, and sanction them, their leaders, and anyone helping them traffic drugs across our border.

He will also change the rules of engagement at the border to allow using force against cartel drug smugglers. Right now, cartel members cut through the border wall with impunity and poison our communities with fentanyl and other drugs; that ends on January 20, 2025.

As an Angel Mom, I’ve been advocating against illegal immigration and for border security for over fifteen years. In that time, I’ve heard plenty of talk from politicians from both parties about securing the border, but they never seem to follow through.

Seeing Governor DeSantis running for President gives me real hope that change is coming. He has a meaningful plan to secure our border, build the wall, and ultimately stop the invasion. But more than that, he has a record of wielding the power he earns effectively, and keeping his policy promises to the letter.

I lost my child to a twice-deported illegal alien. That shouldn’t happen in America. We need to bring the issue of our southern border to its conclusion. Governor DeSantis is the man to do that, and that’s why I’m supporting him for president.

Background

Postings from Brisbane, Australia by John Ray (M.A.; Ph.D.) -- former member of the Australia-Soviet Friendship Society, former anarcho-capitalist and former member of the British Conservative party.

Why is "La Raza" the one Spanish term that is NEVER translated in the American mass media? Because translating it would make it a lot less respectable. It means "THE RACE" -- The mixed Hispanic "race" of Mexico. Racism is fine South of the Rio Grande only, apparently.

The "line" of this blog is that immigration should be SELECTIVE. That means that:

1). A national government should be in control of it. The U.S. and U.K. governments are not but the Australian government has shown that the government of a prosperous Western country can be. Up until its loss of office in 2007, the conservative Howard government had all but eliminated illegal immigration. The present Leftist government has however restarted the flow of illegals by repealing many of the Howard government regulations.

2). Selectivity should be based on "the content of a man's character, not on the color of his skin", as MLK said. To expand that a little: Immigrants should only be accepted if they as individuals seem likely to make a positive net contribution to the country. Many "refugees" would fail that test: Muslims and Africans particularly. Educational level should usually be a pretty fair proxy for the individual's likely value to the receiving country. There will, of course, be exceptions but it is nonetheless unlikely that a person who has not successfully completed High School will make a net positive contribution to a modern Western society.

3). Immigrants should be neither barred NOR ACCEPTED solely because they are of some particular ethnic origin. Blacks are vastly more likely to be criminal than are whites or Chinese, for instance, but some whites and some Chinese are criminal. It is the criminality that should matter, not the race.

4). The above ideas are not particularly blue-sky. They roughly describe the policies of the country where I live -- Australia. I am critical of Australian policy only insofar as the "refugee" category for admission is concerned. All governments have tended to admit as refugees many undesirables. It seems to me that more should be required of them before refugees are admitted -- for instance a higher level of education or a business background.

5). Perhaps the most amusing assertion in the immigration debate is that high-income countries like the USA and Britain NEED illegal immigrants to do low-paid menial work. "Who will pick our crops?" (etc.) is the cry. How odd it is then that Australians get all the normal services of a modern economy WITHOUT illegal immigrants! Yes: Before the pandemic, you usually COULD buy a lettuce in Australia for a dollar or thereabouts. And Australia IS a major exporter of primary products.

6). I am a libertarian conservative so I reject the "open door" policy favoured by many libertarians and many Leftists. Both those groups tend to have a love of simplistic generalizations that fail to deal with the complexity of the real world. It seems to me that if a person has the right to say whom he/she will have living with him/her in his/her own house, so a nation has the right to admit to living among them only those individuals whom they choose.
