Warning: Come November 2024, illegal immigration might 'end the Democratic system as we know it'



Two of the most pressing concerns in America currently are illegal immigration and declining confidence in our electoral system.

While these might seem like two separate issues — and in some ways, they are — they’re also inextricably connected.

“Experts are warning that all of this illegal immigration could have a major impact on House Seats and the Electoral College,” says Sara Gonzales. “Shortly after taking office in 2021, Joe Biden signed an executive order requiring that the United States Census Bureau factor in all residents, including non-citizens, as part of its calculation of the U.S. population.”

While reports from the Federation of American Immigration Reform indicate that there are an estimated “16.8 million illegal immigrants living in the United States,” the numbers are likely much, much higher.

“There’s no way it’s 16.8 million,” says Sara. “Every House seat represents an average of 761,168 residents,. So, the total number, they say, of illegal immigrants account for roughly 22 seats in the House.”

“There's no way it's 22; it would be much more than that because there are many more illegal immigrants than” are being reported.

“Right now, there are 219 Republicans and 212 Democrats in the House, and even then, you're going to expect at least some Republican defectors to [vote for] the other side. So, if we proceed with how it is now … you're ending the democratic system as we know it,” says Sara, adding that Democrats are “clearly rigging the system.”

“Democrats play to win,” agrees Eric July. “If they gotta rig the rules to benefit themselves, that’s exactly what they’re going to do. They will lie, cheat, and steal.”

“They look at the book of law, and the book of law tells them that, ‘Hey, we count everybody.’'"

"Okay, if they count everybody, then let's open the border by design,” adds Jaco Booyens.

Biden administration reopens Trump-era migrant children housing facility



Despite excoriating former President Donald Trump on the campaign trail over immigration policies affecting children separated from their families at the border, President Joe Biden appears to be adopting the same approach to the issue as his predecessor.

According to the Washington Post, the Biden administration has officially reopened a housing facility for migrant children along the U.S.-Mexico border in Carrizo Springs, Texas, capable of holding hundreds of children.

"Dozens of migrant teens boarded vans Monday for the trip down a dusty road to a former man camp for oil field workers here, the first migrant child facility opened under the Biden administration," the Post reported on Monday. "The emergency facility — a vestige of the Trump administration that was open for only a month in summer 2019 — is being reactivated to hold up to 700 children ages 13 to 17."

The move has been in the works since earlier this month, CNN reported, characterized by an administration spokesperson to the outlet as a necessary evil as immigration officials grapple with an overflow of illegal crossings taking place at the country's southern border.

"Fully remedying [Trump's] actions will take time and require a full government approach," a senior administration official said, urging patience.

Government officials similarly told the Post that the camp is needed to temporarily house children amid the coronavirus pandemic and the current surge of border crossings. Never mind the fact that Biden's lax immigration policies instigated the border surge in the first place.

In both cases, Biden administration officials are attempting to put a nice spin on the move. But what's happening in this case is obvious, at least to CNN reporter Priscilla Alvarez, who acknowledged, "While administration officials have condemned Trump's actions, they're still relying on them as they sort out next steps."

Despite the administration's best efforts to cast the move in a positive light, progressive immigration lawyers and advocates are also calling it out for what it is.

"It's unnecessary, it's costly, and it goes absolutely against everything Biden promised he was going to do," Linda Brandmiller, a San Antonio-based immigration lawyer who represents unaccompanied minors, told the Post. "It's a step backward, is what it is. It's a huge step backward."

"When I read they were opening again, I cried," said Rosey Abuabara, a San Antonio immigration activist. "I consoled myself with the fact that it was considered the Cadillac of [migrant child] centers, but I don't have any hope that Biden is going to make it better."

Mark Weber, a spokesman for the Department of Health and Human Services, the agency that handles migrant children, also made clear that the good care given to the children at such facilities has been consistent between administrations, though the Trump administration got a particularly bad rap from left-wing media.

That fact is especially pertinent given the Post's coverage of the new development under Biden. In its report this week, the facility is described in delicate terms, a far cry from the "kids in cages" language used by the Post during Trump's presidency, as noted by Fox News.

"Headlines from 2018 include, 'The American tradition of caging children,' and 'The real reason we're locking children in cages,'" Fox News recalled.
