The West has a long tradition of kindness towards foreigners.
Leviticus 19:34, for example, says: “You shall treat the stranger who sojourns with you as your native, and you shall love him as yourself, for you also were a stranger in the land of Egypt: I am your Lord. God”. .”
This kindness should not extend to strangers who barge into your home expecting to be fed, housed, educated, and given free medical care and jobs.
When you don’t even call strangers what they are – strangers – you open the door to a twisted form of charity that might as well be called extortion with the American taxpayer as the victim. This is exactly what the Biden administration is doing: extorting money from taxpayers. And they need more money to continue the scam.
Yesterday, the White House Briefing Room released a fact sheet attempting to resurrect a $20 billion Senate bill, a “bipartisan agreement” that would “provide critical resources to the border and significant policy changes.”
Buried in the penultimate paragraph of the document was a word that let the cat out of the bag. Instead of calling illegal immigrants “migrants” or even “asylum seekers,” the Biden administration now wants to call them “newcomers.”
“The bill also includes $1.4 billion for cities and states that provide essential services to newcomers, and would expedite work permits for people who are in the country and qualify,” the bill said. information sheet.
House Republicans were quick to respond with a post on X. “The Biden White House now refers to illegal immigrants as ‘newcomers.’ Joe Biden is not serious about stopping illegal immigration into the United States. This is a planned catastrophe.”

“Catastrophe by design” is right: the money the Biden administration aims to get from you.
The wording of the document shows that Democrats have no intention of securing the border. The White House is not serious about stopping illegal immigration. They don’t see it as a huge problem in the same way that average Americans see it.
Fox News contributor Tomi Lahren hit the nail on the head when she pointed out that “Democrats don’t want to solve the problem” because illegal immigrants “secure power” — or so they hope.

“Make no mistake, these Democrats – these mayors, these governors, these leaders – don’t actually want to secure the border, they just want more federal funding while welcoming more migrants and more illegal immigrants,” Lahren told Sky News host James Morrow.
“There are Americans who have been kicked out of shelters and kicked out of homes for harboring illegal immigrants,” Lahren continued.
“This is all an abomination – it all starts with poor leadership. The Democrats don’t want to solve the problem because they want to stay in power, and they know that by bringing in millions of illegals, giving them voting rights and amnesty, this is their way of securing power for generations or eternities to come, “Lahren said. Why else would they want to keep the border completely open?
The fact sheet also notes that Border Patrol staffing “has remained virtually unchanged over the past four years, despite border encounters increasing by 250% over the same period.” Taken as fact, the information begs the question of why it increased so much under Biden’s watch, because he wanted it to.
The same goes for the staffing of asylum officers which “has remained stagnant for the last four years and there are not enough asylum officers to carry out the initial checks. As a result, each asylum case generally takes 5 to 7 years to be heard and adjudicated.”
The Biden administration wants to “add another 4,300 asylum officials and that would make the asylum process faster and fairer.” It would also make illegal immigration the status quo, inviting more and more immigrants to make the journey to the Land of Plenty.
If this continues, it will soon be the Land of the Forgotten Dream: the American Dream. Maybe then the illegal immigrants will stop arriving. Why would they want to be strangers in a dreamless land?
