Illegal immigration hurts the poor — even if Dems deny it (May 9th, 2023)

Hop the Border, Land Benefits, Housing
So, in America today, the front door is locked due to the fear of terrorists, since 9/11, but we have ripped the back door off the hinges, it makes a lot of sense, right? Who have we let in?

Introduction
Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shores send these the homeless tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door, except for the homeless
Freely crossing at our southern border completely unchecked, on purpose, there is a very dark agenda behind this. The unseen governmental agents want to unbalance the demographics of a Constitutional Republican Christian Nation
America, the Land of the Illegal and Not So Free, the homeless suffer but the illegal, free pass, the elderly and veteran now also swell the ranks of the struggling

Let’s Scan the News Before We Start:
We are all aware of the massive increase in illegal crossings, but do you know that they are living better than our working poor or homeless who die on the streets daily?
Under the current administration if they make it across the border they can receive:
>Medical care for all family members
>Food and /or food stamps
>Housing in some of the finest hotels that we cannot afford
>Receive housing at emptied-out shelters, putting houseless Americans back on the streets
> Fast-tracked path to full citizenship
>Voting rights before citizenship is obtained
Now this might not raise red flags with you immediately, but hear this loudly, the background checks have been compromised, or completely ignored
Often, we have no idea who is getting the food, hotel room, medical care or path to citizenship, we have not checked them out
All of this while our veterans, elderly, disabled, and teenagers, sleep on the streets with no food or care or housing or hope

Let’s look at His word as we start today
James 1: 27 Pure and unblemished religion(as expressed in outward acts)in the sight of God our Father, is this: to visit and look after the fatherless and widows in their distress, and keep oneself uncontaminated by the (secular) world
Psalm 28: 5 & 6: Father of the fatherless, a judge and protector of widows, is God in His holy habitation, He makes a home for the lonely, He leads the prisons into prosperity, only the stubborn and rebellious dwell in a parched land
What say you…

Illegals, why are they here, what are they bringing in with them, they are dangerous, don’t we got enough problems
Homeless, illegals, freeloaders, mentally ill, and drug addicts all the same, useless human waste, and we are expected to help
Every Illegal, Increases the Burden

To educate the children of the illegal immigrant costs the taxpayer millions every year. The schools are jammed, and the children do not have equal access to quality education.
Medical care, hospitals, highways and the like are overburdened and the tax based is robbed due to the illegals using it but not paying any taxes.
The economy in this nation has been getting tougher since the pandemic of 2020. There is not an end is sight for most of the poor, working class, and those who have just retired or are disabled. However, I am noticing a trend that just simply angers me to the core, and I mean the right kind of anger. The anger that looks for answers and not excuses, looks for solutions and not buck passing, that kind of anger.
Nasty Sleight of Hand

We have CA trying to pass forced conservatorship laws against the homeless with such vague wording it is nearly impossible to defend against. We have the state of Tennessee passing an anti-camping ban that carries felony criminal charges with it, no longer a misdemeanor, but the heavy hit of a felony.
We have Houston handing out 44 tickets and a potential of $88,000 in fines to Food not Bombs for caring for and feeding the homeless, they have not tried to get a permit every time they food share to more than five people.
We have the city government of Miami okaying an ordinance if it becomes needful, they will place the homeless out of Virginia Key, an Island without services in the gulf. How is that even an option today, how?
The very thing that a homeless U.S. citizen needs but cannot receive the illegal is getting and draining the tax base daily, how is this acceptable?
American Traditions

Our borders are overrun, and nobody is watching for who comes in and what comes across. When they cross into the illegal (often small family groups). They are undocumented, potentially sick, diseased humans who are given everything they need to start a new life. I do not mean they must work for, earn it, or do anything for it.
The lap of luxury that our working poor cannot afford is handed to them. Our homeless are dying on the streets, with no affordable housing options.
The illegal with potential health risk is given everything the American citizen trapped on the streets would have given their right arm to have so they could start over again.
We want to jail, ticket, fine, conserve, incarcerate, remove, put out of sight and mind the American homeless.
For the greater part they are ones who have worked, served in our armed forces, been in foster care, or have major medical or mental illness and need help but we have no resources.
The addicted and mentally ill get some help but it is not the help the restores. But is that right to do to the veteran, to factory worker, to the executive, to the line cook, to the gardener, the mom, the grandpa, is it morally, ethically, right? Is it ethically right even to the addicted and mentally ill?
Housing First, Only for Illegals?

I just read in an online article where owning a home is no longer the American dream for all who strive to do, it is now considered a luxury, hard to obtain. The level of Unaffordable housing is at an all-time high, medium family home price monthly is now about $1,900 and that is not in the fancy neighborhood.
The article stated that Affordability is now Lower than in the 2008 crisis, although they do not expect the bubble to burst as it did then. If a family cannot afford rent, where do they go?
But we have our national government thumbing its nose at our citizens daily when we hear report after report of what the illegals are receiving by just entering this country.
Fancy hotels, voting rights even though they are not citizens, food enough for all in the house to eat daily, medical care that the average American can no longer afford, and the list could go on. And we still want to penalize the homeless person. How about we do the right thing, the right way, and begin to protest what the government is doing? How is it moral to punish the homeless citizens and feed and clothe the illegal who crosses the border illegally?
The United States is in Moral Confusion

I mean look at the wild child state, CA, they have gone so far off the rails that the workers in Silicon Valley cannot afford to live within two hours of their place of employment unless they are
top-level executives.
On the snow slopes of Colorado, those who work there have to drive about 2 hours each way to work in the high season.
Florida’s ultra-tourist-focused economy makes it a 6-month and a 6-month off economy, and it also raises the baseline of affordability on housing, utilities, and the like to the unaffordable level
In the post-pandemic world, the employment landscape and housing have changed in ways no one could see coming and we are still dealing with that, but with it comes fallout. An even stronger argument for the American citizen over the illegal who has no attachment to this nation, none
Where is the Moral Balance
To begin to treat the homeless as criminals and to incarcerate and conserve them forcibly when we have not taken the full attempt of all other measures is a moral failure of this nation.
There is no reason we should care for the illegals while veterans die without honor or dignity on the streets just because after serving with honor, they came home broken.
That should outrage more than just me. These could be foster children aging out of care ending up on the streets after what they have already been through, how is it that we do not have a bridge over system in place for them? This is unacceptable
The moral compassion has been destroyed by the unfortunate slow, but deliberate decision to serve what was presented as a better master, money, and people jumped, now money is going, now they are struggling, and the fight is on and it mean, dirty and nasty
Conclusion
It literally boils down to this: Who is this homeless person right in front of you? Who, a truly homeless American, currently down their fortune and on the streets?
Or is it a drug cartel member hiding in plain sight waiting to do his dirty business and poison thousands with his garbage?
Finally, who is this homeless person, is this one a militant terrorist, ready to commit a 9/11 act but at a greater scale?
A homeless person is now not simply a homeless person, the fifth column has entered the nation and the vulnerable population.
CTA…

Answer this, who is it that is eating next to you in the dinner, riding on the subway, walking on the treadmill, are they a homeless bum or an illegal and unchecked and possibly dangerous
Answer this, who deserves the services of this nation, the housing, food, mental health and medical, the honorably discharged veteran and his family or the illegal who hates this country
Yes the homeless can be an eyesore at times and even problematic, but do they deserve harsher treatment than a person who merely wanders over the border without checks and balances and may intend harm
Answer this, the homeless can be re-focused and given a second chance, why they are American at heart and in their soul the illegal cannot, they are not Americans
