One of the first requirements of government at any level is the protection of its citizens. When it comes to the illegal invasion happening at both of our borders, both political parties have failed us for decades. As it has gone on, too many of those breaking in are opportunists, criminals and terrorists. They are not here to become “good citizens” but for what they can get: free education, health care, legal representation, housing and food. I don’t ever remember having the opportunity in this democracy to vote on opening our borders. Those who have forced this upon us use the power of emotions and intimidation to get their way and ignore logic until they are forced to face the realities of this problem as we have seen in New York and Chicago, sanctuary cities.

The head of the FBI has twice gone before a Congressional committee warning us of an attack on U.S. soil stemming from the border problem, saying it is not IF but WHEN an attack will happen. He said all the red lights are on and flashing. We know that terrorists have illegally entered our country.

Since President Biden has been president we have had unprecedented illegal aliens entering our country. Biden, the vice-president and head of Homeland Security have lied when they say the border is closed. Biden’s administration has developed an app that allows for illegals to be flown into our country.

Why? Well look at our census. When it was brought before our Senate that only citizens should be counted for the census, the Democrats said no. They want everyone counted which gives them the likelihood of gaining more seats in the House which is based on population. Immigrants often vote for Democrats the first time. New York City is looking at allowing illegal immigrants the right to vote. This is about power. Now who is concerned about Democracy?

Local law enforcement officers expressed concern about being able to handle Iowa Senate File 2340, which would require the arrest of anyone found in Iowa illegally with prior deportations and a criminal record. Since many of the crimes committed by illegals in our country have already been deported and have a criminal record, protecting us citizens requires arrests and a lot more. I am sorry for law enforcement, but this is the result of lawlessness at many levels and affects all of us.
