In 2021 about two million illegal immigrants entered the United States with the assistance of Mexican cartels and the American government.  In 2022, 2.76 million  illegal immigrants got into into the U.S. This is about 230,500 illegals/month  which are added to the approximately 30 million illegals currently living in the United States.  They come from over 165 countries around the world.  Why is it happening?  How is this possible?  Is it fair to Americans?  What can be done about it?  That’s what this post will attempt to answer.

Mexican cartels make billions from illegals, drugs, and human trafficking.  Their motive is obvious…money, with a minimum of $4,000/illegal. However, the motive of the Biden Administration and the Democrat Party enabling illegals to get into the U.S. may not be so obvious.  As a pretext, concern is expressed for our less prosperous neighbors  south of our Southern border.  However, the real reasons are: 1) increasing the rolls of Democrat voters, since two-thirds of immigrants vote Democrat whenever they or their eventual children are able to vote; 2) increasing population (which includes illegals) in selected districts so as to give those districts greater Congressional representation; and 3) providing large employers a cheap source of labor as well as driving down the overall cost of labor.

Title 42 of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations, which enables the United States to turn back illegals at our borders based on Covid-19 threats, expired May 11, 2023. It is estimated that the number of illegals entering the U.S. now that Title 42 is gone will be explode.  At this rate, many cities and town will eventually be bankrupted due to all of the services they will need to provide to the tens of millions of illegals that will be in the United States.

So what’s to be done?  President Trump successfully secured the border so we know it can be done.  Were it done now, illegal immigration through our Southern Border would be very low.  The solution appears to be to repeat what President Trump did, including finishing the wall along our southern border.  This will not happen if Joe Biden is re-elected.  The only Democrat Presidential hopeful that would do this is Robert Kennedy Jr.  Any of the Republican Presidential hopefuls would do this.

Some books that forthrightly address the illegal immigration crisis are: 1) The Immigration Solution, 2) Border Insecurity, 3) Adios America, and 4) Whatever it Takes.
