The Continuing Failure Of Biden's Immigration Policies and The Violence It Has Unleashed On Americans

 We recently went through a series of posts where we discussed the violence that Americans have had to suffer at the hands of illegal immigrant criminals that Biden allowed to walk into the country during his term. The first post in that series can be found at:


https://loathemygovernment.blogspot.com/2024/07/bidens-failed-immigration-policies-and.html


This post will review some of the latest violence these violent illegal immigrants have imposed on both Americans and non-Ammericans.


1)Let's start in California:


  • Federal law enforcement recently arrested and charged several illegal immigrants with being the ringleaders of a criminal group that made money by smuggling illegal immigrants  into the country.

  • They allegedly smuggled a whopping 20,000 illegal  immigrants into the country from Guatemala over a five year period,

  • Thus, on average, they were bringing in almost 80 illegal immigrants a day into the country.

  • Seven illegal immigrants they snuck into the country died in a 2023 auto accident which included a four year old child.

  • The price of getting smuggled into the country by those arrested ranged from $15,000 to $18,000 each.

  • At $15,000 a person, the smugglers brought in about $300 million as a result of their operation.

  • According to acting U.S. Attorney Joseph T. McNally: “These smuggling organizations have no regard for human life and their conduct kills. Their members pose a danger to the public and law enforcement. We must vigorously enforce our immigration laws so that these organizations cannot operate. The indictment and arrests here have dismantled one of the country’s largest and most dangerous smuggling organizations. This work saves lives, and the members of the organization will now face significant consequences.”


Thus, it is not only American  citizens that are suffering from Biden’s failed immigration policies. Illegal immigrants are being ripped off for the chance of getting into the country, dying as a result of their effort, and many are held hostage if they cannot pay their bounty in full.


2)Let’s stay in California, specifically Los Angeles County:


  • Recently, Juan Miguel Sanchez, a local resident and family man, was fatally shot when he tried to prevent two men from stealing a catalytic converter from a neighbor’s vehicle.

  • The two men not only had long, previous criminal records, they were also illegal immigrants.

  • And yet, despite being in the country illegally and having a violent criminal past, the sanctuary city of Los Angeles allowed them to roam the streets.

  • One of the perps had been arrested 15 times in recent years for charges including firearm possession, grand theft, burglary, and drug offenses.

  • The other perp had been arrested at least a dozen times for grand theft, firearm charges, drugs, kidnapping, possession of meth, and possession of burglary tools.

  • By the way, the victim’s wife is undergoing medical treatments for cancer.


Another act of violence against an American citizen and his family as a result of Biden’s failed and violence inducing immigration policies.


3)We have previously discussed the stomach churning and disgusting attack on a New York City woman,  Debrina Kawam, who died when an illegal immigrant set her on fire in a NYC subway car. And despite this heinous crime:


  • Even though New York City police arrested the perp of this horrible crime, the city government has refused to release the illegal  immigrant to the Federal  government via an ICE detainer order.

  • Department of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, expressed her disgust with the city’s decision:  "ICE lodged an immigration detainer with the NYC Department of Corrections to take this depraved alien into custody." Because of current sanctuary city policy, the corrections department has indicated it will NOT honor the detainer. Governor Hochul should impose an emergency suspension of sanctuary protection by executive order NOW."

  • Keep in mind that Ms. Kawam’s body was so  disfigured by this personal arson attack that remains identification was very difficult, giving you an  idea of how horrific her death was and how horrible her last few moments of life were.


All of which  reinforces our claim and assertion that many members of the American political class care more about the welfare and  well-being of illegal  immigrants, no matter how violent they are, than they care about the American citizens they are supposed to  be serving and protecting.


4)From California to New York to  now down in Florida:


  • According to the CBS affiliate in West Palm  Beach, law enforcement officers have located and arrested an illegal immigrant who allegedly raped a teenage girl in West Palm Beach in early January.

  • The illegal immigrant, Santo Omar Martinez-Varela, is charged with sexual assault and false imprisonment of a minor.

  • He illegally entered the  country via Mexico from  Honduras in 2023 and was not apprehended or had any contact with Border Patrol  or law enforcement.

  • His identity as the attacker was confirmed via DNA testing.


Another day and another series of attacks on Americans as a result of Biden’s  failed immigration policies and efforts and the refusal of many American politicians to  hold the safety of American citizens higher than the lives and comforts of illegal immigrants.

By The Numbers - The Fiscal Cliff That Is The National Debt and Why No Other Issue Matters

We have often warned that the skyrocketing Federal government national  debt is eventually going to crash our economy, our financial stability, and our democracy if the situation is not gotten under control and under control  quickly. Today’s post is going to review the statistics and dangers of the national debt and why the Washington politicians have to take some serious budget actions and reductions soon or the whole house of cards of our financial system and economic stability is going to go over the fiscal cliff.


Some Federal budget statistics in no particular order that should scare the hell out of you:


  • If you had spent $1,000,000 a day from the day that Christ was born, you still would not have spent a trillion dollars.

  • Spending a million dollars a day over the past two centuries or so would take you to about $750 billion.

  • The Federal government national debt is currently about $36 trillion.

  • Thus, the current national  debt is about 50 times larger than the amount of money you would have spent if you had spent $1,00,000 a day since Chrisst was born.

  • There are about 154,000,000 Federal tax returns filed every year.

  • Thus, on average each of those taxpayers would have to pay about $234,000 each to pay off the national debt.

  • Given there are about 340 million Americans living in the country today, each man,  woman and child would have to pay out about $106,000 each to pay off the national  debt.

  • A family of four then would have to pony up about $424,000 to pay off the  national  debt.

  • If you think that “taxing the rich”  more would pay off the debt you are absurdly wrong.

  • According to Forbes magazine, as of late 2024, Elon Musk was the richest American with an  estimated wealth of $244 billion.

  • Even if you taxed his wealth at 100%, his $244 billion would pay off less than .7% of the national debt, not 7%, .7%.

  • If you only took 10% of his wealth you would pay off only .07%.

  • If you taxed the wealth of the ten wealthiest people in the country at 100% and applied it against the national debt you would pay off only about 4.3% of the debt.

  • If you only took 10% of their wealth, you would pay off only .43% of the national debt.

  • And finally, according to Forbes, the total wealth of the 400 wealthiest Americans comes out to about $5.4 trillion, which if you confiscated all of it and applied it to the  national debt, you would pay off less than 15% of the debt.

  • Thus, taxing the rich more makes no sense since even if you took ALL of their wealth and applied it to paying down the debt, you would only pay off a very small portion of the $36 trillion on the books.

  • Oh, and by the way, this $36 trillion doesn't include the over $80 trillion (source: Congressional  Budget Office) in unfunded government liabilities for  Social Security and Medicare’s budgets that are going to be needed over the next 75 years.

  • To  meet those unfunded liabilities, the Federal government would need to collect, on  average, an additional $1.07 trillion a year for 75 years to keep Social Security and  Medicare solvent under the current assumptions and parameters of the programs.

  • But in 2024 the Federal government only collected $4.92 trillion in tax revenue which means to cover the additional $1.07 trillion a year it would have to raise taxes by about 22%.

  • However, of that $4.92  trillion collected, about $1.107 trillion of that was spent on defense and $1.124 trillion was spent SOLELY to pay the interest on the  national debt (Source: Wall Street Journal  article, February 22, 2025.)

  • Thus, about 45% of the Federal  government’s revenue stream was spent on only two budget lines, interest payments on the debt and defense before any other government expense was considered..

  • In theory, if the Washington political class had been operating on a balanced budget over time, then there would not be $1.124 trillion being paid out of taxpayer taxes every year to service the national  debt which means that on average, every one of the 154 million taxpayers would have an additional $7,300 in their bank accounts every year, $7,300 that wasn't going to fund interest payments on the ever escalating national debt..

  • But the Biden administration spent $6.75 trillion in fiscal 2024, adding a whopping $1.83 trillion to the national debt.

  • Thus, in fiscal 2024 the Federal  government under Biden  collected more in taxes than any government entity in the history of mankind and still  overspent it by 37%, indicating he and the rest of Congress never had an intention of getting  Federal spending under control.

  • Given the over spending by $1.83 trillion and about 154 million taxpayers, on average each taxpayer would have saved about $11,800 in taxes if Washignton had just spent what it had collected in taxes.

  • Since the national debt in 2024 was about $36 trillion and the GDP  of the entire country was about $29 trillion (GDP - value of all  goods and services produced in the  economy in a year), even if every dollar of the GDP was used to pay down the national debt we would still be looking at $7 trillion of debt.

  • With the exception of the covid years, the debt to GDP ratio has never been higher, 1.24% in fiscal  2024.

  • Going back to the Wall Street Journal article cited above, written by Niall Ferguson, he analyzed the historical relationship between defense spending and national debt/interest payments and concludes that once defense spending falls below debt servicing costs, like it did for the first time for this country in 2024, the decline of all great historic powers begins.


In the face of these  dire statistics and situation, Washington folks have been busy spending billions and billions of dollars on the following nonsense:


  • $20 billion for a Sesame Street play in IRAQ.

  • $4.5 million to “combat misinformation is Kazakhstan”

  • $3.9 million for “LGBT  causes in the western BALKANS

  • $6.0 million for tourism in EGYPT

  • $2 million to fund sex change operations in GUATEMALA 

  • Billions more for similarly inane and corrupt projects


If you are upset because Trump and Musk are shutting down government functions like these listed here but are ignoring the real threat to this country, the national debt and out of control Federal government spending, then you and I have different priorities. And while I respect your right to have a different view and different priorities, I am going to continue to construct my parachute because when the Federal government and the country shortly and  likely go over that fiscal cliff, I want to be ready and not go splat on the fiscal cliff canyon floor.
