We are told that now we have something between 10 million and 20 million illegal aliens in the United States, a part of whom are criminals. Donald Trump, if elected President again, has promised a mass deportation effort will take place. The numbers are breath taking. He frequently talks about the criminal element being rounded up and deported, but does not say much about others, the majority.
The others need to be talked about. There are ways to encourage self deportation back to home countries for people who have come into the United States illegally and, therefore, are criminals by definition under US immigration law.
What can be done? First, stop any monthly stipends being handed out. And, no more rent vouchers, subsidized housing eligibility, and no more eligibility for mortgages. And on we go — no welfare payments, no Medicare or Medicaid, no eligibility for Social Security, and no eligibility for any US tax payer supported benefits.
No more free medical services except for true emergencies. Our hospitals and health care systems are being highly stressed. Just one recent example came from Logansport. Dozens of cases of Tuberculosis have been reported. This emphasizes the fact diseases not significant in the US are being brought in my illegal aliens given no health screening.
And one highly important step is to require all employers use E-Verify to determine if a person is legally eligible to work in the United States. The claim by a huge percentage of illegal aliens, when asked, is they came looking for employment. Non-citizens without a Green Card or certain Visas are not eligible for employment in the United States. The responsibility for determining eligibility for work falls on the employer given the large cash economy in our country. Employers who circumvent work eligibility requirements for workers must be severely held accountable.
Taking all of these steps will result in significant self deportation of illegal aliens. It will reduce stress on all social services including schools, health care, housing, and more.
Other steps that should be taken. Local law enforcement agencies should be required to cooperate and support efforts by ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency). So-called “Sanctuary Cities” must be ended. To his credit, our Indiana Attorney General, Todd Rokita, is already taking steps to end these in Indiana…. and there were at least three publicly known about.
We must take our country back. People who want to come into the United States to work and live must come in legally. The United States has always welcomed legal immigrants who will benefit the country and not be or become a burden on it. The United States has always welcomed people who will pledge allegiance to the United States Constitution and live under established law. Just running across a border of the United States is not acceptable.
Our borders must once again become impenetrable allowing only legal immigration.

Kamala’s Katrina
The stories and pictures coming out of the southeastern part of the United States are horrific and terrifying. Hurricane Helene was more than catastrophic, but what is even more is the incredible lack of immediate response to human need and suffering by the United States government.
FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, was supposed to be ready to aid at a moment’s notice. It was not and is not. FEMA is the responsibility of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. After Hurricane Helene hit the United States, Biden spent days on the breach and Kamala was busy raising money for her campaign. FEMA was no where to be found. Given the condition of Biden who appears can barely fully function, the bulk of the responsibility rests right in the lap of Vice President Kamala Harris.
Now we hear stories that private citizens who did respond are being prevented from helping. We are hearing stories that the National Guard and US Army troop and resources are being hampered or have not been given proper orders to move ahead. What is happening is at the least totally incompetent but bordering on criminal.
We hear now that FEMA has a lack of money. The story is that FEMA does not have enough funds to be able to respond to another hurricane or natural disaster. We know now that billions of dollars allocated to FEMA have been used up to provide for illegal aliens. They have gotten transportation, cash, cell phones, and housing. Funds have been depleted to the point of not having enough to help our own citizens.
Kamala comes in and offers $750 in aid to people who have lost everything. And people have to sign up to even get that paltry amount of aid. The problem is there is little way for people to even sign up.
We hear of all communications systems being destroyed. No cell phones and no Internet available. Power and lines down. Response came from action by President Donald Trump and Elon Musk with Starlink. But, now we hear that the government is taking Starlink down. Trump, as a private citizen, came quickly with aid and has given $25 million of his own money. He and Samaritan’s Purse under the leadership of Franklin Graham are and have been there with help.
Biden, Harris, Mayorkas (Homeland Security Secretary), and FEMA Adminstrator Deanne Criswell must go. They are all either totally incompetent or guilty of criminal neglect. Given the areas most affected by Hurricane Helene, one has to wonder if politics comes into the picture. Many of the areas most affected are heavy Republican politically.
In this time of huge domestic need for citizens of our country, we are reminded as well of the billions of dollars that have been diverted to Ukraine by the Biden administration. Dollars that are needed at home.
We are reminded as well of the response by the Bush administration to Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Bush had Michael Brown at the head of FEMA. Brown had been the Judges and Stewards Commissioner of the International Arabian Horse Association for 12 years before joining FEMA where he was promoted to FEMA Administrator in 2003. He resigned 18 days after Katrina hit New Orleans. Maybe it is time for Criswell and Mayorkas to do the same.
United States citizens are hurting and crying out for help. US government should have been ready and was not. Those responsible must go.
