What the border invasion is doing to America's cities
2023-11-07
[Blaze] As you watch hundreds of thousands of military-age men storming the southern U.S. border, your eyes should be trained more on our cities than on the border itself. That is where all these criminal and belligerent elements are settling — and where they are changing our culture, society, and security for the worse.

What we are witnessing is the counterintuitive immorality of the open-border left on display in real time, as we allow our cities to become the very hellholes from which leftists supposedly want to save migrants.

The Daily Mail last week reported that among the hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans entering the United States, ex-communist security forces, gang leaders, and state-run militias from Venezuela have saturated neighborhoods in Miami, Dallas, and Chicago.

The cultural ills associated with Latin American socialist juntas have been imported in large numbers thanks to Biden administration policies. "The same people so many migrants left Venezuela to escape from are now here," Miami-based attorney Rolando Vazquez told the Daily Mail. Government forces — the military and the police — would force Venezuelan businesses to pay a protection fee to President Nicholas Maduro. Now they are walking around Venezuelan communities in south Florida doing the same thing.

#5  While I'm not thrilled with the Biden administration's border policy, I'm also not down with this newfangled "evil Venezuelans" thing. These people, a lot of whom seem to be pretty educated, are fleeing something similar to Cuba or eastern Europe under the communists. Many of them are going to be worth keeping, and most aren't socialists, progressives or anything like that. In fact we may be looking at another "Cuban" community in the making.

#3   illegals flooded in and took all of the day labor jobs

Kind of a broad brush there, Captain.

I can still hit the corners and get day labor.
Pounding Tposts, clearing brush, tree trimming, welding, painting, barn cleaning, concrete, trench digging, etc.

Some immigrants, some felons. Some good, some risky, some lazy, some drunks. Some will work when it's 100+ degrees.

I have to provide transport, water, tools(chain saws, brush knives, shovels) and materials (paint, fencing). I also have to be around for any questions, and take them back to the corner at night.

#2  I will explain. Before illegal immigration on a massive scale became a major problem, if you needed to earn a reasonable income but did not have a job, you could go to a day labor store fronts early on the mornings where businesses like warehouses would call for laborers for that day. Those went away when illegals flooded in and took all of the day labor jobs.

#1  Illegal immigration is causing homeless camps in the major cities.
