Letter to Editor:
Since Trump’s Border Czar took charge the number of illegals crossing our southern border has dramatically decreased. This past week, in a 24-hour period, the number of encounters was 229. Under Biden the number was often 10,000 or more a day.
President Trump achieved this success without more appropriations or additional legal authority. He just enforced the same laws on the books available to former President Biden and Democrats. They refused to enforce them. Despite all the political rhetoric by Biden/Harris and Democrats in Congress they did not need a special bill last year. That was all a smokescreen to get more resources to fuel more illegal activity.
During the Biden Administration our country was invaded by more than 10 million illegals. It was a conscious decision by Mr. Biden and supported by his party. They failed in the most vital role as elected officials to protect our nation from threats of an illegal invasion. Data supports this conclusion with the number of border encounters, financial burdens, and increased crime in our communities. It is estimated to cost taxpayers billions…maybe trillions.
Treason is defined as a betrayal of trust. We need to uncover and prosecute those responsible because if the last four years go unpunished, it will happen again. Democrats or whatever scheming group of persons or NGO’s will open the border again. -Frank Mazur, South Burlington
