Democrats Are Planning to Use Today's Illegal Immigrants to Help Them Win Elections for Decades to Come

Illegal immigrants have not and will not be entering America with a platinum healthcare insurance plan. All will be without healthcare coverage. Yes, that equals millions of illegal immigrants. So, they will have Uncle Sam as their healthcare provider - we call it Medicaid (healthcare for the indigent). And it costs us billions. Are there any Americans who would agree to pay more taxes to pay for the influx of illegal immigrants? Well, we cannot continue to put it on Uncle Sam's credit card either.

For the sake of our nation, Republicans must hold the line, and fund our government but do not provide foreign assistance for those protecting their borders until Biden takes one, if not all, of the following three steps to secure America's border:

1. Use executive orders to secure our border

2. Return to the border security policies that were working under the prior administration

3. Use the military to protect and secure our border

The Republican Senate leadership's failure and now House Speaker Mike Johnson's wavering, could give President Joe Biden and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer a lifeline. House Republicans, led by Speaker Johnson, negotiated, and got absolutely nothing.

They are poised to cave on forcing Biden to protect our border with Mexico, giving Biden and Schumer a total victory for funding the security needs of other countries. With one finger in the air, Biden and Schumer said accept our crappy border deal from the Senate or get nothing. Yes, it is the proverbial "take it or leave it" diplomacy.

Last year the growth of Medicaid was three times the rate of inflation - nearly 10%. It currently stands at a cost of $800 billion and at its current rate will soon eclipse $1 trillion.

We already have to borrow $1.75 every time we buy that $6.20 coffee. We simply do not have the money, Mr. Biden - but you already know that.

Our top money man Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell has stated that the course we are on financially is unsustainable. Maybe we should listen to him.

Individually, our nation's financial plight has rippling negative effects - high interest rates being one of the biggest ripples. For instance, due partially to high interest rates, home foreclosures are up, business and personal bankruptcies are up 16.8%, and credit card debt is at an all-time high, a whopping $1.02 trillion. These are all facts not widely reported by our liberal media.

So why would Biden and the Democrats push America more rapidly toward the financial cliff? Paramount for them is winning elections.

But Democrats have a problem with this. They have not won the white vote in over 50 years. Yes, they have lost the white vote in every single presidential election since Lyndon Johnson.

So their "Plan B" is to let the mess happen at the Mexican border. They want the flow of illegal immigrants to swell into the millions, knowing that these immigrants will eventually be included in the census and vote. That's sad.

The cat is out of the bag, however.

That is the reason the Democrats "recruit" new voters so the party can create a clearer path to victory in the decades to come. But do not call these folks "illegals"!

Democrats are offended when their ploy is revealed. They are also offended when people come to America in a non-legal way and are referred to as "illegal immigrants." They are immigrants and they are crossing into America with no regard for our laws. That is the definition of an illegal immigrant.

The not-so-secret Democrat model and plan goes like this... Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves and won for the Republicans a near unanimous vote of Black people for decades thereafter. Biden and the Democrats wrongfully believed that Hispanics would do the same thanks to the party's strong support of immigrants. But this is not happening, however.

Why not? Well, having 400 years of slavery for Black people, freedom in America trumps merely wanting a new job in America for Hispanic people. Loyalty to the liberator of the slaves creates a unique bond.

Regarding elections, flipping Texas would make it nearly impossible for Republicans to win at the electoral college level in the future. Arizona, Nevada, and New Mexico could also fall permanently in the Democrat column.

Thanks to Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's approach of sending illegal immigrants to Democrat states, the likelihood decreases for the Democrats to gain politically. It was a brilliant move by Abbott. History may show that he played a key role in saving the nation. Biden, the stubborn, octogenarian, and 50-year political pro, is willing to risk the wellbeing of millions of people around the world in order to keep the water flowing, the flow of illegal immigrants moving across our southern border. He has refused to lift a finger - despite the U.S. Constitution which clearly states that "the United States must protect each state from an invasion." Don't forget the Democrats would say, "It depends on the meaning of 'invasion'?"

In polls, a vast majority of Americans feel it is an invasion. Illegal immigrants are being weaponized to bring down America financially. The numbers of invaders and Biden's inaction are historic.

To end the invasion, suffice it to say: "Where there is a will, there's a way." The problem for the Democrats is that there is no "will" to do so. Their policy is tragic and financially costly for America, but it may win votes for Democrats into the future.
