The Harris-Biden border catastrophe isn’t some abstract policy failure. It’s a nightmare inflicting punishing human costs on everyday Americans.
And debunking the internet obsession over “eating pets” in Springfield, Ohio, doesn’t make the real suffering go away.
For starters, there’s the chaos on Springfield’s roads driven by lawless migrant motorists, and the way the town’s social services are stretched to the limit.
This city of around 60,000 saw its population grow by around a third when Haitian immigrants moved there, admitted into the country by the Harris-Biden expansion of the Temporary Protected Status program and their path greased by federal aid bucks — more than $780 million in 2023 and a projected $639 million this fiscal year.
It’s not racist to worry about the impact of a massive demographic change like that — which is far more economic and social than it is racial — or the massive direct costs on the town.
Springfield is hundreds of miles from the southern border, and many other small towns in the interior are surely seeing similar burdens — but without going viral thanks to “mad memes.”
And look at the impact on cities and towns that are actually close to the inflows.
In El Paso, now a hotspot for illegal crossing, Venezuela’s vicious Tren de Aragua gang took over a local hotel.
Hmmm. A year ago, El Paso’s Democratic Mayor Oscar Leeser told the world his city was at a breaking point.
Leeser was right; now, it’s clearly broken.
And Tren has spread across the country.
Also consider Eagle Pass, a tiny Texas ‘burb utterly overwhelmed by migrant inflows — with the border agents stationed there vastly outnumbered by the illegal entrants.
Small towns aren’t the only places suffering. New York has seen migrants commit all manner of mayhem — while the city’s set to shell out a projected $12 billion through 2025 to pay for housing, food and other support for them.
It’s insanity.
Yes, of course most migrants — even illegal ones — are not here to rape or murder or steal or sell drugs.
But goodwill can’t solve a problem of this scale.
They’ve arrived in such numbers that any real socioeconomic assimilation is impossible, especially in places like El Paso and Springfield.
The Harris-Biden policy here is an abandonment of any and all duty to the actual citizens of the US, the ones they swore to protect and defend.
The noise over supposedly-eaten pets is a mere distraction.
Especially for people serious about ending the chaos.
Opponents of open borders need to be shouting the already proven costs and consequences of the illegal tidal wave from the rooftops, no matter how hard the feds and their media lapdogs try to obfuscate.
That would wake America up — and it just might get voters to hold the Democratic nominee for president, a prime architect of the disaster, to account.
