Time for the Truth; the Vast Majority of Illegal Aliens in America Arrive through Ports of Entry, not our Southern Border

Trump is a liar; there’s no other way to explain everything which comes from his lips or his thumbs. His biggest lie is about the danger coming from our southern border. The Pentagon and every security agency tell us that Trump is lying; no such danger exists. Trump’s claim is pure fantasy.

Although you will never hear this from the television “news” agencies, the great majority of all illegal aliens now residing in the United States enter through our nation’s ports. It’s a simple process which allows every type of illegal immigrant to come to America including terrorists and drug dealers. These individuals obtain a visitor’s visa, enter the U.S. at our seaports or municipal airline terminals, and simply never leave. Trump is too ignorant to understand this fact or too bigoted to care.

Under Trump’s watch in 2017, border patrol and the DHS estimates that 670,000 individuals came to America and remain here based on ‘visa overstays.’ Only 304,000 were apprehended on our southern border, and nearly all of these men, women, and children are not in the United States today.

Trump’s obsession with Hispanics seeking a better life and tens-of-thousands of others seeking asylum is inhuman. He joins Adolf Hitler as one of few world leaders who focused their hatred on one race, one people. If Trump had everything he wanted ICE would build gas chambers at the detention centers they established.

No American on the right or left sides of the aisle is opposed to intelligent border security. Trump is not concerned about these proposals; his only goal remains building a costly wall which would be doomed to failure. An increasing number of tunnels have already been discovered under existing walls in several locations.

Trump is not a serious president. He is a mentally incompetent and unfit man who is a danger to our nation and our people. Trump has failed to address a single issue considered important to the American people on election day 2016. The opioid crisis continues to grow. Nothing has been done to improve healthcare. America continues to fall behind most other developed nations in education and the quality of life. Our infrastructure is crumbling. Income inequality grows and will eventually destabilize our economy and threaten national security. Not a word has been uttered about tens-of-millions of Americans who struggle below the poverty line, although America has 540 billionaires and 11 million millionaires; up from 2017.

To put it honestly and plainly, Trump is a failure.
