Crime and the Border

 Crime and the Border Crisis are Related

  • Rising crime and the border crisis are related
  • Illegal aliens entering the U.S. have no vetting, and many are returning convicted felons, who had earlier been deported from our country
  • A significant and growing amount of crime among native-born Americans is made worse by "no bail" policies, lax prosecutors, and various other criminal justice reforms

The Under-Studied Problem of Immigrant Crime

  • Most illegal immigrants are good people, here to work. Most commit trespassing, identity theft, regular theft, and a variety of other problems, particularly for communities on the border.
  • Illegal immigrants and visa holders are easily exploited, as their status prevents them from seeking the usual wage and hour protections.

Do We Believe Our Country Should Benefit Its People?

  • We know we cannot be a country with an unregulated border or unlimited immigration
  • The longstanding hesitation to address illegal immigration and the self-righteousness of our political class suggests they do not understand what a country is
  • A nation is not merely its political structure and creed, but a group of people who form a large extended family, share a common history, and constitute a community of interest

Avoiding the Point of No Return

  • Continuing the post-1965 policies into the future spells trouble, especially for those of us already here.
  • Controlling the border is the first step. Massively reducing immigration for some reasonable interval, at least 20 years, is the next step. From there, we can begin to reconstitute ourselves as a single people and control our common destiny.
