OPINION:
Once again, we have a federal agency receiving authorization from the White House to participate in the crime of transporting illegal immigrants to multiple U.S. cities (“DHS encountered a record 2 million illegal immigrants on southern border in 2021,” Web, Jan. 24). This makes us no different from the “coyotes” getting these people to the border.
These contractors are being instructed to avoid all discussion of the itinerary details with the media and to do only late-night flights and bus rides, in order to avoid detection. In addition, they are refusing to alert on-ground security of arriving flights, which is a direct FAA requirement. If any portion of this is true, it is similar to what Lyndon Johnson’s administration did to deceive our country about our involvement in Vietnam. It’s also similar to what Richard Nixon’s administration did during Watergate. Like those administrations, Biden’s has enlisted other federal agencies to participate.
As a taxpayer, I am heartbroken to learn our dollars are being used through contractors to perform illegal activities. Why is that money not being used instead to protect our borders?
Our government seems to have lost all sense of principle regarding protection of its own citizens. No wonder so many citizens ahave a low level of confidence in elected officials.
