President Joe Biden’s decision to allow the free flow of illegal immigration into our country has resulted in 20 million illegal immigrants living in the United States. We knew nothing about these people. We didn’t know where they came from or why they were here.
Now, Americans are being forced to compete even more with illegal immigrants for jobs and housing, to have their children share our classrooms, to wait longer in the hospital, and to even have their rightfully earned government-funded benefits wiped out by them.
Why? All because career politicians either turned a blind eye to it or, as I suspect, more insidiously welcomed it.
But illegal immigration is, frankly, a symptom of the broader disease that, if we choose to ignore, will cost us our country.

Right now, New York City is on the brink of electing a Ugandan immigrant determined to bring about the destruction of a once great city. There is a congressman from Mogadishu whose entire existence is focused on turning America into Somalia.
These are not isolated incidents either; they are a sign of things to come. This is what happens when career politicians disdain a secure border.
From former President George W. Bush to former President Barack Obama, from former President Joe Biden to Republican Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the permanent political class has been working for more than two decades to push through mass amnesties regardless of the consequences. They have made it clear that they don’t care about an American identity, that they don’t care about a secure border, that they only care about taking in as many third world migrants as humanly possible.
President Donald Trump has been better on this issue than we could ever hope for. Illegal border crossings have gradually come to a halt and we have made real investments to ensure our border remains secure.
TRUMP’S IMMIGRATION RESET RAISES WAGES AND FORCES REAL ECONOMIC REFORMS
But the existential immediacy surrounding immigration is not an economic argument at all. It’s a cultural issue.
Unfortunately, the DC swamp is working overtime to undermine his agenda. Even now, RINOs and Democrats continue to battle Trump in an effort to pass amnesty for the tens of millions of illegal aliens still living in our country.
That’s why I’ve called for the implementation of an immigration moratorium, which would remain in place until we deport every illegal immigrant from this country.
When I first called for this moratorium, the corporatists screamed. The same corporatists who encourage trade deals that ship jobs overseas and decimate places like Kentucky in the name of increasing shareholder value.
My message to them is simple: I care far more about American workers and their well-being than I do about big corporate interests.

But their argument is flawed to begin with: If companies are forced to face the fact that we won’t let them ignore our immigration laws to import cheap labor or abuse our visa system, then they will have exactly two options:
First, they could simply raise wages, which would not only make these jobs more viable for Americans but also make them more culturally acceptable.
Or alternatively, they could invest in technology and innovation, transforming low-paid, low-skilled positions into machine-operating positions that suit our indigenous workforce.
I always find it funny that the stock response to my statement that Americans will do this job if we pay more is, “Americans don’t want to pick strawberries!”

Well, guess what, folks, Americans don’t want to pick up trash either. But if you pay them enough and don’t pretend that any job that puts food on the table is beneath Americans’ standards, they’ll do just fine.
But the existential immediacy surrounding immigration is not an economic argument at all. It’s a cultural issue.
We have been invaded – that is a fact. The current state of our country is as if we imported a state the size of New York or Texas, and all those people refuse to assimilate.
They refuse to speak our language, participate in our communities, or live our culture or values.
TRUMP TARGETS NON VIOLENT AND LEGAL IMMIGRANTS. AMERICANS ARE BEGINNING TO NOTICE IT
Here in Kentucky we have county clerks who are told to process applications in one of 120 different languages. Not only is that incredibly stupid, it is a sign that we are allowing foreign citizens to dictate the terms of their participation in our communities.
These people don’t care what it means to be American, and we ignore their outward hostility toward us at our peril. It is no exaggeration to say that Western civilization is at stake. Look no further than other developed countries that chose to ignore the warning signs.
Britain might as well be a Middle Eastern country. Shocking migrant crimes are happening on what seems like a daily basis in France and Sweden – countries that are now practically war zones.
And the sad thing is that Democrats look at all of this and say, “let’s bring that to America.” And RINOs look at it and say, “Oh well, that’s the cost of cheap labor.”

Both feelings are equally abhorrent and must be strongly rejected.
If this moratorium had been imposed twenty years ago, think how different our country would be.
Think of how many young people would live in a house and start a family because prices weren’t driven up by people cramming four families into a single-family home.

Think of a health care system and social safety net programs that weren’t decimated because they were burdened by tens of millions of people it never took into account.
Think of how much safer our law enforcement officers would have been if they had not been targeted for trying to enforce our immigration laws.

That fantasy world is what America is supposed to be. We are not meant to be unemployed, poorer, less safe and less secure just because it benefits the globalists and corporatists.
America has paid the price for the treacherous actions of career politicians. And honestly, we may not be able to put the genie back in the bottle. But if we want to give our country and Western civilization a chance to survive, it starts now with an immigration moratorium.
