My VIP for this week is Brent Orrin Hatch, a son of former-Senator Orrin Hatch as well as an attorney and a candidate for the United States Senate from Utah. He wrote the following about the hordes of illegal immigrants crossing the borders in his article titled “Brent Orrin Hatch: Biden needs to shut southern border.”
Hatch
explained that he tells his clients to obey the law because it is his job. He
also stated that the job of judges is to enforce the law, and the job of our
elected leaders is to implement the law. However, some judges and the Biden
administration are not doing their job. He stated, “What
seems to be lost on the president is why everyone is upset and how unfair the
situation is.” Then he explained as follows:
First, caring
people realize how wrong the present policies are to the immigrants themselves.
There is nothing charitable or Christian about recklessly allowing masses of
people to come here after a perilous journey only to sleep in airports
(Boston), schools (New York) or the streets, public parks and other facilities
(everywhere) without the capacity to provide even the basics of shelter and
care. Legal immigration is measured and never exceeds the resources available.
Second, allowing
more immigrants into the country than we can reasonably assimilate is unfair to
American citizens. Our cities and resources are being overrun, seemingly with
no concern for the impact and cost on our citizens. The Biden policy is inhumane
both to those coming here and to the American people whose lives are being
upended by it.
Third, giving
precedence to immigrants entering the country illegally at the expense of the
homeless is not right. The homeless are citizens and many are veterans who have
protected our homeland. Allowing non-citizens into our country before we can
adequately take care of our own is more than unfair, it’s irresponsible. The
Biden policies are simply straining our charitable organizations and government
resources to the breaking point.
Fourth, it is
unfair to our children because billions of dollars are being spent to support
immigrants who entered the country illegally, thus putting pressure on our
already sky-high $34 trillion national debt. Sadly, money that could be spent
on reducing the deficit is actually being spent on increasing illegal
immigration. A new report on the border and immigration shows how the Biden
administration is paying the United Nations and nongovernmental organizations
to facilitate the invasion. There are reportedly 57 international organizations
and 132 national NGOs and civil service organizations designated to hand out
$343 million in aid for 2024 to help more migrants invade America.
Fifth, not
securing our borders threatens our national security needlessly and increases
risk to our citizenry. Numerous terrorists have been caught trying to cross the
border, but many more have evaded capture. It is troubling that many of these
migrants appearing at our southern border are military age men from China,
Africa and the Middle East. Drug cartels have used our open borders to flood
our streets with Mexican- and Chinese-made fentanyl and use the same routes and
connections into America for human trafficking and funneling terrorists across
the border. If and when an attack on the homeland comes, it is highly likely
their entry will have been through our porous southern border.
Hatch explained that the House Homeland Committee reported that “last year marked the worst in U.S. history for people entering our country without authorization. The impact of these misguided efforts is self-evident.” He continued his explanation: “The strain on schools and city budgets in many parts of the country is overwhelming.” He declared, “The current system has become an illegal immigration industrial complex. He added that “The president does not need a ‘deal’ or new laws to enforce our border.” He obviously believes that Americans will express their views in November on the job that Biden and his administration are actually not doing.
