Massive Immigration, Few Controls
Commentary by John W. Ritenbaugh (1932-2023)The subject of a border wall between America and Mexico along the Rio Grande River emerged as a significant issue during the presidential election, with Mr. Trump proclaiming he would build one and that Mexico would pay for it, viewing that nation as a primary cause of the problem. Enemies of Mr. Trump criticized this plan, arguing that no wall can stop an airplane from flying over it, though the practicality remains that most emigrants cross by walking, driving, or swimming, not by flying, as few have the means to afford air travel. Massive numbers of people emigrate due to life-and-death circumstances, often driven by fear of starvation and the hopelessness of remaining in their current situation, seeking a better life elsewhere. Mismanaged national economies are a major cause of these large-scale migration movements witnessed in recent decades. Despite America permitting more emigration than all other nations combined, the impact is more visible in European countries, though costs in the United States are becoming increasingly evident. The total of illegal, Spanish-speaking immigrants in America has reached an astounding 12 million, creating a transformation forced upon citizens without their vote, driven by leadership and external influences. This influx is likened to an invasion by a massive army of hungry people, with no wall available to stop it. In cities like Laredo, McAllen, El Paso, and Brownsville, Texas, as well as El Centro, Merced, and Yuma, Arizona, the majority population is Mexican, and sixty million residents nationwide speak a language other than English at home, representing 20% of the total population. Additionally, 44 states offer driver's licenses in multiple languages, with some states providing them in over 20 languages. Immigrants are also bringing diseases such as measles, mumps, and chickenpox, with rising cases reported in both Germany and the United States, posing threats that no physical barrier can prevent. Tragic incidents, such as the recent death of eight illegal adults in the back of a truck in San Antonio, highlight the dire consequences of this situation, which has been exacerbated by a lack of accountability from representatives cooperating with external forces.
