Restoring integrity

to the United States

AG Merrick Garland has organized and run an incredibly corrupt Department of Justice for the benefit of the Biden crime family.

While some “moderate” Republicans do not want to fight back against the unconscionable and criminal behavior of Progressive Democrat/Communists who have ignored and distorted the Constitution of the United States in an attempt to build their Marxist/Socialist “utopia,” a growing majority of conservatives see no other alternative to restoring integrity to this nation’s government and institutions than to confront the criminals head on, using every constitutional power available!

Anna Luna appears to be the “point of the spear” with her demand that the House Sergeant at Arms arrest Garland for his leadership role in this debacle!

As America circles the drain, as of 6/20/24

Before you get yourself in a wad, just remember the politicians in office get paid “first” even after these examples of what they call governing. To me, it started the decline when they removed religion from schools, then followed by destroying our national hero statues, followed by any statute the protesters did not care for, followed by riots, looting, defunding the police, followed by increases in murder, rapes and robbery, assaults, killing police, firing down businesses, abortions, shutting down colleges while they protest a cause, damage, we will get to fix it in the long run. And how about letting a 10-year-old child choose what sex they want to be without the parents knowing of their action, any guess why the schools forbid them from the decision?

Borders:

The definition of “illegal” and what it means — its cost to the taxpayers! Unlawful, illicit, not according to or authorized by law, against the law, banned, prohibited, criminal, felonious, outlaw, illegitimate!

Latest numbers on the border — by country/month, I could find was 2022, three months (Aug. — Oct.) — Mexico, 187,991; Venezuela, 81,209; Cuba, 74,086; Nicaragua, 50,865; Hondurdas, 44,639. Currently we think there are roughly 11 million illegals here. Some estimates are 14 million. Sad when they don’t even know how many!

We have no idea how many terrorists are in these numbers, nor criminals. Sure, let them and tell to come back to be processed in a year — right, that will work! And we have no idea on the number of “got-a-ways.” Estimates of 2023 illegals is 12.6 million plus.

Add in government corruption, homelessness, vets, gangs, political benefit, plus path to citizenship, meals, housing, benefits (cards) and food.

Then we have: American Rescue Plan Act, 2021($110M), Consolidated Appropriations Act. 2022 ($150m); Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023 ($800M, FEMA). Add in Senate Border Bill was $1.4B. In 2023, the DHS gave $425M to SFSP-H. Since the passage of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, over 6.9 million illegal aliens crossed the borders!

Confused? Try looking up info and see. It is years old, what you’ll find, like in Orwell’s book “1984,” what he called “doublespeak!”

Can they vote: Federal elections. In 1996, the U.S. Congress passed a law prohibiting noncitizens from voting in federal elections, including elections for the U.S. House, U.S. Senate and presidential elections. This does not apply to elections at the state and local levels. Federal law states that it is unlawful for a noncitizen to vote in federal elections and establishes the punishment of a fine, one year in prison, or both for violation of the law.

The Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996:

Costs of the illegals: Education, estimated at $68,000.00/year; Medicaid, SNAP, DACA, TPS, EITC, SSI, medical services; Hotel room, $150.00/day; Meals, $64 per person per day; medical/denial; dry cleaning; housekeeping; cell phone, free; free tablets/iPads; free clothing and winter coats; free toiletries.

Rough estimates — these are old numbers — real costs? Check report called “The Cost of Illegal Immigration to Taxpayers” by Steven Camarota.

National debt clock numbers on June 20: This is the clock that shows spending, and a multiple of items in real time. The numbers fly by so quick its hard to get them written down before it rolls on! Hang on.
