Trump would have been impeached for allowing what Biden has by opening the border!
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy notes, “President Biden announced that it was his top priority to offer citizenship for eleven million undocumented immigrants, what did he think would happen? Just last month alone 100,000 migrants were encountered attempting to illegally cross our border. Put that in perspective, 100,000, that’s a larger population than President Biden’s hometown of Scranton, Pennsylvania.”
Sick, illegal immigrants are invading us, and Biden is letting them come into our country when ten percent of the immigrants are testing positive for the Covid-19 virus. They could just as well be carrying loaded weapons and shoot some of our citizens, as they will spread the virus.
What I am able to put together is that of those 100,000 immigrants attempting to cross our border in February, tests, on a small group done by private groups, have shown that about ten percent or 10,000 of those illegals are infected with the virus, and they are not quarantined and could be let loose so that many more Americans are subject to catching the deadly sickness that has already taken many, many lives of our citizens.
At Ellis Island, where European immigrants arrived in the United States, they were subject to medical checks before they were allowed to enter our country. However, about 12 million immigrants passed through Ellis Island during the time of its operation, from 1892 to 1954. New arrivals could also face rejection if they had a contagious disease, were anarchists, had a criminal record or showed signs of low moral character.
But, in reality the number of people denied entry at Ellis Island was quite low.
So, if you were sick, you were kept at Ellis Island until you recovered, or were put on the next boat back to where you came from.
However, if you sailed to the United States with a first or second-class ticket, you probably did not go to Ellis Island, but were allowed into this county without much trouble. Only lower class tickets got the Ellis Island treatment.
You can be sure that if President Trump had opened the border as Biden has done, and ten thousand sick people were entering the country, the Democratic members of Congress would have brought Trump up on impeachment charges for the third time.
To add insult to injury, Catherine Mortensen of Americans for Limited Government reported, “At least four individuals on the FBI’s terrorist screening database have come across our border illegally in recent months and apprehensions at the border jumped 28 percent last month compared to January. Democrats are trying to blame President Trump for what is clearly the Biden border crisis.”
Here are a couple of numbers that may show that former President Trump’s border policy was working. In 2019, agents for the border enforcement apprehended some 473,682 illegal’s crossing our border. With Trump’s policy that number dropped to just over 52,000 last year.
I beg President Biden to rethink his open border policy before the virus mutates and overpowers the vaccine that is now being given to the public and he has to lock us all up at home.
