Why is this happening? Who is responsible? We are sick to death of hearing platitudes like &#8220;secure our border&#8221;. Our leaders have no intention of securing our border, and it&#8217;s time we ask ourselves why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s reckless, it&#8217;s dangerous, and it&#8217;s expensive. Yet it gives Washington elites and the Biden administration \u2014 or whoever is running the White House \u2014 more power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Illegal immigration takes power away from law abiding citizens. It makes a mockery of the rule of law, giving power to those who intentionally break our laws. If you value freedom, law and order, and our cultural heritage, you should be outraged. If you respect our nation, the greatest ever to exist in human history, then it&#8217;s time to ask what the hell is going on?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Illegal immigration takes jobs away from law-abiding Americans. It threatens the safety of our communities. It dilutes our voter base, taking away the sanctity of your vote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You might think the problem is far away from here. Let Texas deal with it, let the federal government worry about enforcing the law. But it affects Idaho too, that&#8217;s the plain truth of the matter. Millions of illegal immigrants pouring into our country year after year affects all of us. Illegal immigration brings crime, drugs, sex trafficking, terrorism, and more. When we stop enforcing our laws, we&#8217;re telling all the bad actors in the world that we are defenseless, that they can come here and do whatever they want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It does not have to be this way. There are enough laws on the books now to take care of this problem, and House Republicans passed a strong border bill last year. National leaders could solve this crisis today if they wanted to, which means they want it to continue. It&#8217;s time to say enough is enough. It&#8217;s time for patriotic Americans to stand up and say <strong><em>WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What on Earth is going on?
