It would have been very easy to stop the invasion of illegals at the US southern border even without a wall. US troops could have manned the border. Billions spent supporting the most corrupt regime in Europe, the Ukraine, could have gone to the home defence. It is because the Democrats see illegal immigrants as one means of ensuring their continual "elected" dictatorship.
And now citizen applications are being approved at a record rate, with the illegals being sent out to swing states to swing them. But if that fails, it will simply be a question of counting illegal votes anyway. The entire system is rotten and corrupt, and Trump had the opportunity to fight this in his presidency, but did not, following the advice of his liberal daughter and son-in-law to the detriment of the country. Still, it is all the hope which exists at present, and at least Trump stirs up the Left, which is amusing.
Harris, the radical communist and Walz, even more radical than her, are most likely to be elected in a little over a month. It will be a Leftist hell on Earth for the West, Australia included, who depends upon the US for defence against communist China's aggression. This is like being told that one has a turbo-charged cancer after obediently taking the Covid vaxxes.
- Many immigrants want to get citizenship in time to vote in the upcoming election.
- The Biden administration says the uptick in new citizens is due to efforts to reduce a backlog of applications that mounted during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Hundreds of people from 63 countries packed into a Riverside theater last week to take the oath of citizenship. American flags lined the stage as messages conveying the immigrants' new power played on a large screen:
"Today, I am an American. Today, I am a citizen of the country I serve. Today, I can register to vote."
The 775 people who participated in the naturalization ceremony Sept. 19 are part of a wave of new U.S. citizens being sworn in across the country, as immigration authorities approve citizenship applications at the fastest speed in a decade.
The Biden administration says the uptick in new citizens is due to efforts to reduce a backlog of applications that began during the Trump administration and exploded amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Immigration officials said the timing is not driven by the election or any political agenda.
The Department of Homeland Security "does not take actions based on electoral politics or upcoming elections. Period," spokesperson Naree Ketudat said. She added that the agency has endeavored to process naturalization petitions within six months for decades.
Former President Trump and his Republican allies have long repeated baseless claims that Democrats are admitting immigrants into the U.S. for political gain and allowing them to vote unlawfully. The issue even made its way into the government spending bill this month when House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) tried unsuccessfully to insert a GOP proposal to require states to obtain proof of U.S. citizenship when people register to vote.
Only U.S. citizens can vote in federal elections, and it usually takes several years before immigrants with lawful status can apply for citizenship.
But it is typical for citizenship applications to spike during election years, and California is home to the largest number of lawful permanent residents who are eligible to become naturalized citizens. Thousands are doing so in time to cast votes in the Nov. 5 election
"In this particular election year, this bureaucratic efficiency is so politically fraught," said Xiao Wang, co-founder of Boundless, a company that helps people navigate the immigration system and analyzes trends.
"This is not part of some master conspiracy to flood the country with new Democratic voters. There's a lot of statistics that show many immigrants share more in common with Republican values."
That was obvious at the citizenship ceremony in Riverside, where Victoria Van Valen, 54, was taking the oath. She had already filled out her voter registration form and just needed her naturalization certificate after the ceremony to make it official. Van Valen, who came to the U.S. from Mexico when she was 15, lived as a legal permanent resident for decades.
Recently she decided she wanted to become a citizen, in part so she could vote for president this year. She said she plans to vote for Trump, citing his tough stance on immigration and his economic policies and noting that home prices have soared in Southern California since his presidency ended.
