Biden's Failed Immigration Policies and the Death and Violence It Has Caused To Americans - Part 14

We have often discussed the reality that Biden’s border policies have been an unbelievable failure. Illegal drugs are flooding into the country, violent South and Central American gangs setting up shop in U.S. cities, and local city and state budgets are being adjusted so that illegal immigrants can be fed, sheltered, and given medical attention, stealing government services from American taxpayers.

But one particularly distressing and tragic result of Biden’s failed immigration policies is the danger that have befallen innocent Americans at the hands of violent illegal immigrants who never should have been admitted to the country. This is not to say there should be no immigration into this country.  But there has to be a rigid screening process so that violent people do not get into the country and carry out heinous, often fatal, attacks on innocent Americans.


The first thirteen sets of sad stories relative to the illegal immigrant dangers to Americans can be accessed at:


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


1)Let’s start with  today’s illegal immigrant violence up in Massachusetts:


  • Massachusetts is a so-called ”sanctuary state” which means that local police and judicial authorities will protect and hide illegal immigrants from being turned over to the Federal government for deportation.

  • As a result of their sanctuary proclamation, illegal immigrants have flocked to Massachusetts.

  • Which has resulted in some pretty heinous crimes being committed by illegal immigrants.

  • Mynor Stiven De Paz Mnuoz is an illegal immigrant from Guatemala and he has been arrested for allegedly raping a minor in Great Barrington, Massachusetts.

  • Federal immigration authorities placed a detainer on him but local authorities refused to detain him and after allegedly raping a child he was released on bail.

  • Billy Erney Buigtrago-Bustos is an illegal immigrant from Colombia who overstayed his visa in 2016 and was arrested over the years for allegedly committing similar crimes  and while local authorities eventually turned him over to the Feds, it happened only after a long legal process and allegedly many crimes.

  • Alexandre Romao De Olivderira is an illegal immigrant from Brazil who was sentenced to 14 years in jail in that country for child rape but he fled to the U.S. in 2022, was apprehended and released back into the country.

  • He was eventually arrested in, you guessed it, Massachusetts.

  • Juloi Esteban Batista-Castillo was recently arrested in the Boston area of Massachusetts and was charged with kidnapping, malicious destruction, of property, breaking and entering, home invasion, and  a number of assault and battery charges.

  • He had illegally entered the country in January of 2023.

  • Belardis Tapia Gonzalez, an alleged member of the violent MS-13 gang, was arrested and accused of second degree child molestation in  Massachusetts.

  • Illegal immigrant Mateo Hincaple Cardona was arrested recently in Boston and booked on charges of second degree child molestation.

  • And it keeps on going as illegal  immigrant Mateo Hincaple Cardona was arrested in Boston in October and was charged with enticing a child under 16, distribution of obscene matter, and lascivious posing and exhibiting a child in the nude.

  • Often illegal immigrant criminals are arrested but either never turned over to the Feds for deportation or are turned over after lengthy legal haggling.

And yet, given these attacks on children in the state, Governor Maura Healey has made it publicly and strongly known that she will not cooperate with Trump and the need and effort to deport illegal immigrants from across the country including Massachusetts. 

Just another example of an American politician who cares more about illegal immigrants, and criminal illegal immigrants, than the safety and lives of the citizens she should be serving.

2)Mike Johnson is the mayor of Denver, a sanctuary city that has attracted a large number of illegal immigrants because of the sanctuary status. He has made it very clear that he thinks his citizens and police force will forcibly/violently oppose any effort by the Federal government to deport illegal immigrant criminals living in his city: “More than us having DPD stationed at the county line to keep them out, you would have 50,000 Denverites there. It’s like the Tiananmen Square moment with the rose and the gun, right? You’d have every one of those Highland moms who came out for the migrants. And you do not want to mess with them.” 

Why he is willing to risk police, citizen, and Federal agents' lives to  protect illegal  immigrant criminals from being removed from his city and help reduce the violent crime these criminals produce is beyond comprehension, I am not sure he is going to get 50,000  tax paying citizens to violently oppose the deportation of criminals given that:


  • According to an analysis by the Common Sense Institute, the Mayor and city politicians have paid out $356 million in city taxpayer dollars to house, feed, and take care of the illegal immigrants who have  flocked to his city.

  • This comes out to about $8,000 that has been paid out for every illegal immigrant living in the city.

  • Given that the population of Denver is about 717,000 Americans, a city family of four has paid out about $2,000 to care for the illegal immigrant population in the city, a number that will continue to rise. 

  • This is $2,000 that the family could not spend on itself and their kids, it is money that  could not be  spent on improving city schools, roads, and aiding the plight of needy city residents.

  • In fact, the good mayor has already cut back city services to fund the illegal immigrant population in his city, a population that he is willing to protect in direct confrontation with the Federal Government.

Thus, I doubt that 50,000 citizens are going to stand by the Mayor at the city border to prevent illegal immigrant criminals from being removed from the city. He is delusional if he  thinks they will.

3)On this next episode of illegal immigration, let me say upfront that I am not sure this story is real or sensationalism fiction, that is how unreal it seems to be. But given it is unreal to me how some politicians care so much more about illegal immigrant criminals than their own citizens who knows if this story is real:

  • Keep in  mind that Biden has admitted that his administration has lost the whereabouts of over 300,000 illegal immigrant kids who have crossed the border.

  • And if that is not bad enough, news reports recently documented the story that a two year old toddler was found alone on the southern border with Mexico.

  • The two year old was part of a larger group of 60 unaccompanied minor children found at the border, ranging in age from 2 to 17 years old.

  • The two year old had a note with a phone number attached to her jacket. 

As unreliable as this sounds, that a two year old is trying to illegally enter the country by herself, I have found no news stories refuting this story. In fact, in a New York Post article, local and Washington politicians have expressed their dismay and horror that this type of insanity is going on at the border. 


The good news is this toddler survived the trip and has been taken into custody by immigration officials, her safety now in place but her long term fate to be determined. The bad news is how many other minor children did not make it safely to the border and died somewhere along the route, all as a result of Biden’s failed border policies. 


Thus, not only are Americans suffering as a result of the border disaster, but kids from various countries are also in mortal danger, especially when one of those kids is an unescorted two year old.


4)Last atrocity for today:


  • An  alleged member of the violent Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang was recently arrested in New York City.

  • He was charged with robbery and sexual assault.

  • News reports said that during his arraignment he showed a lack of remorse, smirking and yawning as the proceedings played out.

  • Fortunately for  law abiding city citizens the illegal immigrant gang member was denied bail.


Sexual assaults, deaths, robbery, two year olds wandering around, etc. This is what Biden’s failed immigration policies have  wrought on innocent people everywhere.

May, 2024, Political Class Insanity Part 2: Denver Continues To Choke On Its Sanctuary City Boast, The National Debt Continues To Skyrocket, and More

 Every month we devote posts to just general political class insanity that is running rampant through the country. The members of the American political class continue to show that they are incapable of efficiently operating any level of government in this country. 


Even their best efforts are almost always ineffective at resolving any problem facing Americans. They spend a great amount of time not trying to improve the lives of their citizens but continually ensuring their reelection and enriching themselves, their families, and their friends in the process, all at taxpayer expense.


1)The Federal government’s national debt has recently hit $34,500,000,000,000, $34.5 TRILLION. A few observations on this atrocious abuse of taxpayer money and trust:


  • Every American citizen, man, woman, and kid, would have to pony up over  $100,000 each to pay off the debt.

  • Thus, a family of four would have to come up with $400,000 to pay off their share of the debt.

  • Taxing the rich, as we have pointed out so  many times, is a stupid strategy for paying down the debt, there are not enough rich people in the country to make even a small dent in the debt  load.

  • Since the Federal government and Washington politicians have had an annual Federal government surplus only four times in the past 63 years, the current set of Washington politicians are highly unlikely to start acting with financial austerity now.

  • This year the interest that needs to be paid on the national  debt is higher than the annual Pentagon annual budget for the first time ever.


Eventually the country will not be able finance this debt as it grows and grows which will lead to higher and higher inflation which will weaken the dollar and eventually the entire financial integrity of the government collapses along with our democracy and freedoms. Just thought you would like to know.


2) And a recent Joe Biden speech gaffe does not give you any confidence at all that he is capable of fixing the national debt crisis. It is no secret that Biden has been in cognitive decline for years. He has trouble making speeches, being rational, walking without falling down, and not able to speak coherently without a teleprompter and even then he often has problems.


Such was a recent gaffe:


  • Biden was recently giving a campaign speech, using his teleprompter as always.

  • He said, “Four more years…pause.”

  • Yes, his teleprompter speech wanted him to “pause” for applause after the word “years” but he went ahead and read “pause” out loud as if it was part of the speech.

  • Of course, the official White House transcript deleted this screw up in order to not make Biden look like an  idiot.


Obviously we all make mistakes like this in our life. The problem with Biden is that he makes them on what seems like a daily basis, constantly showing that he doesn't have the mental wherewithal to continue to be President. He has to be told what to say and how to act over the tiniest of life’s events and he very often still gets it wrong.


Anyone who thinks that a President with this serious of a cognitive situation is capable of resolving the major issues and problems of our time like the $34.5 trillion national debt is in a serious state of denial.


3)A running theme of this blog is trying to determine which state government will go bankrupt first. The states that we feel have the highest chance of going bankrupt usually comes down to four states: California, New Jersey, New York, and Illinois.


The politicians in these states continue to spend and waste their citizens’ tax  dollars on ineffective and often stupid government programs. The problem is that:

 

  • They continually spend more and more which requires them to raise taxes on state residents and businesses.  

  • Eventually, the tax burden gets too high for some people and businesses and they move out of the state. 

  • This reduces the tax stream going to the overspending state politicians.

  • Rather than reduce spending to get in alignment with their reduced tax steam, they raise taxes on the remaining residents and businesses.

  • This drives more residents and businesses to leave the state which further reduces the state government tax stream and a financial death  spiral is underway which eventually leads to bankruptcy court.


How bad is this over taxation in the states most likely to go bankrupt? Consider a recent analysis completed by the WalletHub website:


  • The analysis estimated what the lifetime earnings would be for any average resident in each of the 50 states.

  • The analysis then  estimated how much of that average lifetime earning would be paid while living in each state.

  • This tax analysis took into account all likely taxes at the Federal, state county, and local government level in each state.

  • When all finished, one of our favored candidate states to go bankrupt was New Jersey.

  • The average lifetime New Jersey resident is likely to earn $1,818,191 and on average will pay $987,117 in total taxes.

  • Thus, on average the typical New Jersey residents will pay over 50% (54.3% to be exact) of their lifetime earnings in taxes.

  • It is no wonder that New Jersey residents and businesses are  leaving the state for much less burdensome states when over half of what they earn goes to some government entity.

  • While New Jersey is the worst taxation state, New York is the fourth worst taxation state, Illinois is the eighth worst taxation state, and California is the  ninth worst taxation state, the three other states that are losing large amounts of residents and businesses and are our other high probability candidate states to go bankrupt.

  • 45% of the average resident’s earnings in New York go to taxes and 42% of the average resident’s earnings in Illinois go to taxes, and 41% of the average resident’s earnings in  California go to taxes.

  • Not surprising, states that have seen significant population gains at the expense of the states listed above, Tennessee, Georgia, and Florida all have tax percentage ratios less than 30%.


The math is pretty simple. Why should a family or business stay in New Jersey when over half of their earnings and income goes to taxes when they can move to states such a s Florida where only 30% of their income goes to taxation? Once the financial death spiral starts it is next to impossible to stop and New Jersey, New York, Illinois, and California politicians have no clue what they are doing relative to fiscal constraint and sanity.


4)Karma is often a very funny thing and it has really raised its ugly head as a result of Biden’s failed border control policies, policies that have probably allowed over 8 million illegal immigrants to enter the country. Many of them have  migrated to America’s largest cities where they have strained local city budgets at the expense of local taxpayers.


One of the hardest hit cities has been Denver. More illegal immigrants have landed in the city relative to the city’s population than every other city. But consider the following karma situation:


  • Denver politicians have often sanctimoniously bragged about how more compassionate they were of others by proclaiming that their city was a so-called sanctuary city.

  • This bragging eventually came to bite them in the butt as thousands and thousands of illegal immigrants eventually took the city politicians up on their welcoming bragging.

  • This has strained the city resources as they cut budget in other arrears in order to feed, shelter and  medically treat the illegal immigrants in their sanctuary city.

  • But the pressure on these sanctuary loving politicians has gotten so hot that they are now trying to undo their sanctuary city promise.

  • For example, Denver’s Newcomer Communications Liaison, Andres Carrera, recently told an immigrant shelter that “opportunities are over'' in Denver.

  • He then made an offer to these thousands of illegal immigrants in the city:  “You don’t have to walk anywhere, we can buy you a free ticket. You can go to any city. We can take you to the Canadian border, wherever!”

  • Finally he told the  assembled crowd that life is better for these illegal immigrants elsewhere, not in his sanctuary city: “New York gives you more. Chicago gives you more. So, I suggest you go there where there is long term shelter.  There are also more job opportunities there.”

  • These remarks come after Mayor Mike Johnson in March announced budget cuts in city services, those services that actually serve taxpayer Americans living in the city, because of the $180 million that will be needed to take care of the illegal immigrants.

  • This $180 million is a whopping 15% of the entire city government budget.


Say and promise stupid stuff, get stupid results, as sanctuary city politicians are learning the brutally hard way across the country. Karma is a bitch and that bitch is making life in Denver very uncomfortable for all concerned.


That will  do it for today’s insanity: Denver is choking on its sanctuary city boast, the same four states are leading the way to  bankruptcy court, Biden cannot follow even the simplest directions, and the national debt continues to skyrocket.
