It's Not Our Problem
But it's become our problem
I recently attended a mass, don’t worry the structural integrity of the ceiling is still intact. The priest, a man I love who has a heart bigger than Mt McKinley or the Gulf of America, said something that caught me a little by surprise. His sermon and nearly the entire mass, he spoke about concerns over the illegal immigrants being rounded up. He made the point they were not illegal, just undocumented. It got me thinking. Which is never good.
He was sincerely upset. He kept going back to how the immigrant’s clean yards, homes, work in the fields and so forth. He wasn’t making it political, but he did reference president Trump.
I fully understand where’s he’s coming from, but I believe the media twisting the facts got to him. His love for humanity and being in the profession he’s in warrants his feelings and to share those sentiments.
In an ideal world, this planet shouldn’t have any borders, but we don’t live in an ideal world.
Let’s begin with the problem and how it became America’s to solve, again. For the moment let’s assume all 10 or 20 million who broke our law and entered the country over the last four years are all honorable and upstanding people. And a lot of them are. This massive influx of humans was and is caused by the leadership and corruption in their home countries. After all Kamala Harris told us that. The governments of these countries failed them and created, in many places, miserable living conditions. However, that mess is not the problem of American citizens. Should we care? Of course, and the United States sends billions of our hard-earned money to help. Then how come their problem still becomes our problem?
The deporting process and the reason we find ourselves faced with what is being portrayed by some as a terrible thing wouldn’t even be occurring if the Biden administration had been doing THEIR job protecting America. We are now faced with either trying to absorb millions upon millions of people or send these unsolicited guests’ back home.
This wonderful priest, heart in the right place, believes ICE is going to come knocking on every door.
One of the left’s most powerful tools is using fear and lying. And as always, it’s effective.
I’ve been working with “illegals” since I was fourteen. They have always been a part of my ranching life and continue to be. My long-time friends have all been illegal. Do I think it’s right? Not really, but it’s a reality we’ve all learned to accept, and I fully supported them in wanting a better life. When the border was “managed” it never reached the astronomical level it did under Biden. We dealt with it as normal. Acceptable. In fact, it was common for illegals to go to Mexico for vacation then sneak back to start work again during the farming season. In those days’ coyotes would charge $1,500 if you needed one. Not the $10,000 or more the cartels are charging today and then you are owned by them.
The reality we’re facing today is far different. There’s no way of knowing out of the millions who entered America illegally came for a better life or who came to make our lives miserable.
The argument from the left is who’s going to pick our crops etc. The question I have, who was doing it before all these new bodies arrived? We didn’t need 20 million more illegals who are getting free stuff without working and came for jobs that didn’t exist in the first place.
Millions of those people are not here to work. The false narrative of who’s going to work in the fields or cut your lawn, doesn’t cut it. Compassion has to stop somewhere, and reality has to take over.
The priest has a point about ICE coming to a neighborhood near you. Only this time you want them to come. We all know a huge number of illegals are from China, Iran, Iraq, Haiti and even
Russia. The last thing any of them are going to do is pick strawberries. Hundreds of thousands are here to kill you, rape girls and women and cause terror. These are the evil of evil. The kind of people the church may offer forgiveness to but not the kind of people who are looking for redemption.
What Trump is doing is necessary.
There’s no other way to get this mess under control. While Biden is sleeping in Santa Ynez Valley behind a walled in home and Harris went grocery shopping to realize her policies have been devastating to Americans, neither worries about the position they placed the new president in and what a toll it takes on Americans. They have no shame.
The truth is, hundreds and eventually thousands of lives will be lost by those with black hearts who don’t care who they harm. Again, how did this become our problem?
In order to make things right, we need to remove these malignant tumors. Regrettably this situation has placed people like the priest and so many others in a position to try and balance out their moral compass.
It’s imperative we get things back in order and under control again. Then, and only then, can we have a serious discussion how we want to deal with immigration.
Those who are fearful can blame the previous administration for putting them in that position.
My heart goes out to the priest for his anxieties, but prayers need to be said for the many who have suffered from the hands of the illegals who have caused so much pain. I don’t see the tears or compassion for the survivors whose children or relatives have been killed or harmed by someone who isn’t supposed to be here.
They march in the street to keep killers here but don’t march for the lives the killers took.
Those tragedies could have all been preventable.


My father held a full time job and raised all ten of us AND he kept a full vegetable and flower gardens his whole life. Two of my sisters have large gardens, and one feeds 150 people. We came to this region of the world and shared best farming practices with our Native Americans in the 1800's. I am so disturbed by what the kind priests are saying as it makes us weak people who helped build this country and our great values. Additionally, I've worked a lot with our Mexican friends, and they never hold back to tell us what we owe them... Our kind priest makes a difficult situation for his parishiners as I for one will not go to church so long as they keep unfairly stating the untruth of such matters of illegal immigration, he needs to become a political, not a priest. I don't wish to give my heart and soul to this type of unfair propaganda which does not protect the residents and parishioners of any church. Perhaps he can give a lecture on honest work!
Henry, I agree wholeheartedly. I can’t tell you how many folks I’ve discussed this issue with who believe the priest’s “false narrative.” Please give me a call when you can; I have suggestions…
