The Joe Biden-Open Borders Invasion

Tuesday morning, Rep. Chip Roy, (R-TX), chaired the House Subcommittee on the Constitution and Limited Government hearing on "The Southern Border Crisis: the Constitution and the States." At the start of the hearing, Roy delivered this passionate, informative opening statement.

In his opening statement, Chairman Roy stated "Since the beginning of this administration, there have been more than 7 million encounters at our southern border. That in and of itself doesn't define an invasion, but when you compare it to the 2.4 million encounters of the previous administration, and when you look at what's actually occurring now, with over 5 million aliens having been released into the United States, which includes more than 1.8 million known got-aways. This is a mix of releases, gotaways, people that have come in under the so-called CBP One app released, people that have been released in the United States with dates to appear as late as 2035, 2031, 2045."

Roy continued:

And these, like these numbers on the got-aways, by the way, are likely conservative estimates. Secretary Mayorkas himself admitted some 85% of migrants encountered at the border are being released immediately, automatically released into the United States. That isn't a border, that does not allow for any actual determination of an asylum claim or any legitimate claim under law."

That's a stunning statistic. It's impossible to determine which illegal aliens are terrorists, which are cartel members or which are sent by hostile governments. This NY Post article is frightening to people who care about terrorists:

"Military-aged men from across the globe, many from countries or regions not friendly to the United States are landing in waves on our soil by the thousands — not by splashing ashore from a ship or parachuting from a plane but rather by foot across a border that has been accurately advertised around the world as largely unprotected and with ready access granted," the letter continued.

Then there's this previously unreported travesty:

I met last week in Brackettville, Texas about three hours from my house, about 45 miles from Eagle Pass, with about 200 landowners and local officials in South Texas. Breaking down in tears at the destruction of their community, one rancher who's had to fix his fence 400 times. He's had to repair his fence 400 times in the last three years, a ranch he has had in his family losing livestock and people dismiss that as if it's no big deal. But it is a really big deal to the families and the ranchers who have had ranches in Texas for years. Talk to residents who live near the border have high-speed car chases that are commonplace that result in the death of American citizens recently, and migrants. We act like this is compassionate, that 1,000 migrants died along the southwest border of the United States last year, almost a 1,000.

This isn't from the above-mentioned hearing but it's important information:

This is Chairman Roy's opening statement:

SUMMARY:

1. Hospitals going broke because illegal immigrants won't pay their bills.
2. Schools shut down to house illegal immigrants.
3. Farmers' ranches getting decimated time-after-time (for 3 years) by illegal immigrants.
4. High-speed car chases, often resulting in fatal car crashes.

This can't continue. It's unsustainable. In the words of the late, great Charles Krauthammer, "anything that isn't sustainable won't be." Amen Charles.
