Illegal immigration

January 31, 2024 by Guest Post

by David Stover, Stevensville

I appreciate and agree with the position of Mr. Esmay when discussing illegal immigration. Under this administration, upwards of 10 million illegals have been allowed, even to the point of being encouraged to break our laws by illegally entering our country. This administration has cost our country in excess of $250 billion annually (and growing) to house, medicate, and otherwise support these illegals. That would go a long way to making Social Security solvent, as just think that is in excess of a trillion dollars in four years.

I recently contacted Jon Tester and questioned him as to what he intended to do about this illegal invasion of our southern border but as usual he will not respond. Jon has had many years to have initiated legislation or support other legislation to stop this invasion but has done nothing. As usual, in the case of most elected politicians, when election time rolls around, they come out of the woodworks and act tough on everything the electorate wants to be taken care of. I also asked Jon what the Senate and the House will do about the $34 trillion debt and the runaway spending but no response. I assume by his lack of response, he has no solution.
