The entire US political class supports open borders, has no intention of protecting Americans. This means the US isn’t a country and has no justification for collecting taxes, having a military, etc. Top spending US lobbyist is open borders Chamber of Commerce.….Wall St. Journal Editorial Board has called for open borders since at least 1984: 7/3/1984, “In Praise of Huddled Masses:” “If Washington still wants to “do something” about immigration, we propose a five-word constitutional amendment: There shall be open borders.”…"The open borders crowd will push the country closer to the precipice of a Cloward-Piven collapse, which was perhaps the goal of some all along."
1/1/19, “North Carolina Sheriffs, Dealing With Cartel Violence, Call for Congress to Fund Wall,“ The Epoch Times, Charlotte Cuthbertson
“More than 1,400 miles north of the southwest border, sheriffs are battling drug trafficking, overdoses, gang and cartel violence, and human trafficking.
“If something gets through the border, within a few days, two or three days, it’s across this country,” said Rockingham County Sheriff Sam Page.
Sheriffs in North Carolina are calling on Congress to approve funding for a border wall and better border security.
North Carolina has become a major hub for the transport and distribution of wholesale cocaine and other drugs throughout the northeastern corridor, according to the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).
Page said he does what he can to support the sheriffs situated in counties along the southwest border.
“If we can support them, it prevents a lot of those drugs fromcoming in and getting into our communities here in the interior United States,” Page said.
“If we fail to secure our borders, every sheriff in America will become a border sheriff.”
Alamance County Sheriff Terry Johnson said his [North Carolina] county has huge problems with the Sinaloa cartel and its drug trafficking operations.
Alamance is right on the intersection of two major interstates, I-40 and I-95, and nearby city Greensboro has become the drug trafficking hub for the southeastern United States, Johnson said.
In March, 35 members and associates of the Nine Trey Gangsters, a set of the United Blood Nation gang, pled guilty in North Carolina to racketeering conspiracy and related charges of drug trafficking, wire fraud, and firearm possession, according to a 2018 DEA report.
The gang’s leaders were also directing—from both inside the prisons and in communities—the gang’s assaults, robberies, and drug trafficking up and down the Eastern United States, the report said.
Johnson said drug-related deaths are increasing in his area, “and the cocaine is big time coming in here, along with the heroin laced with fentanyl.”
In December, he said the department arrested 22 local drug dealers.
“The opioids and the heroin traffic, cocaine traffic is really taking its toll on our people here in Alamance County,” Johnson said. “People are not paying, in my opinion, close enough attention to what the major cause is—and that is the drugs coming across the border.”
He said robberies are up, as well as shootings between rival gangs that are vying for the local drug distribution jobs.
The violent MS-13 gang also has a foothold in North Carolina. A known MS-13 gang member was arrested in Wayne County, North Carolina, in December after a half-pound of methamphetamine was discovered during a traffic stop.
“We’re also having problems here with human trafficking,” Johnson said. [US knows it’s complicit with human traffickers: 1/28/2016, “Obama administration placed children with human traffickers, report says,“ Washington Post, Abbie Van Sickle; 1/28/2016, “U.S. Placed Immigrant Children With Traffickers, Report Says,“ NY Times, ].
“If we could stop the drugs...at the border, then we in local law enforcement could extend our personnel to dealing with the quality of life issues that are causing us the major problems in our counties and cities.”
In November, illegal alien Hector Rodriguez Noyola was sentenced to a minimum of 14 years in prison for trafficking cocaine and possession with the intent to sell and deliver cocaine in Forsyth County, North Carolina.
‘We Need to Know Who’s Coming In’
Page said President Donald Trump is doing what he can to secure the border, but Congress needs to step up, by funding the wall and fixing immigration loopholes.
“I think the president is making a lot of good efforts, trying to do the right thing to protect the citizens in this country, but there’s a lot of resistance in Congress,” Page said. “To me, I just don’t understand it—why we’re not putting the American people first. And why public safety, homeland security, and national security are not a priority for them.”
He said, aside from border security, Congress needs to look at the legal loopholes that are allowing bogus asylum claims and illegal aliens to enter the country and stay without being vetted.
In fiscal 2018, almost 400,000 illegal aliens were apprehended [and immediately released for a free life that US taxpayers must provide them] by Border Patrol at the southwest border. Many of them claimed asylum and were released into the country to await a [US taxpayer funded] court hearing years down the road.
“We need to know who’s coming in and who’s coming through our borders. Just like when someone gets arrested and comes into our jail—I need to know who’s coming in and going out of our jail and being released back out into the community,” Page said.
“[Congress] may not agree with everything the president says, but on border security and national security, he’s got it. And they need to listen and they need to work with him.”
In March [2018], 380 sheriffs from 40 states wrote a letter to Congress supporting Trump’s plan for a border wall, while also urging lawmakers to take action against sanctuary policies.
“Because Congress has failed to enact the necessary reforms, our citizens and legal residents face even greater dangers, our national security is more vulnerable, and our enforcement efforts have been seriously compromised,” the letter states.
Johnson had a dire warning for law enforcement and politicians.
“If we don’t open our eyes—and I’m talking about law enforcement nationwide. I’m also talking about our politicians in the state and in Washington, D.C.—we’re going to be a drug culture that we can never turn back and get away from. It’s getting that bad,” he said.
“And when you have a tremendous amount of money being made off of the drug traffic, I can tell you this, law enforcement and politicians can be bought off. And that’s going to be a terrible thing for this nation.”
“Our law enforcement and the President agree: securing our border makes America’s communities safer. They want Congress do its job and fund a border wall.
Republicans have a plan and a fair offer has been made. Build the wall. Open the government. https://t.co/j9CH2lBqie

March 21, 2018 letter from National Sheriff’s Association signed by 380 Sheriffs from 40 states tells congress the US desperately needs a wall:
“March 21, 2018
Dear Member of Congress:
……………
Congress must act to pass legislation to secure our borders through enforcing immigration laws, tightening border security, support
the replacement and upgrades to current barriers and fencing and
construction of barriers along the U.S. and Mexico international
boundary as requested by those areas where it is needed, suspending and/or monitoring the issuance of visas to any place where adequate vetting cannot occur, end criminal cooperation and shelter in cities, counties, and states, and have zero tolerance and increased repercussions for criminal aliens.
I stand firm with my fellow Sheriffs throughout our nation to have our borders secured first, in full cooperation and support of our promise and mission to uphold and enforce our nation’s laws, and we expect nothing less from Congress.
I stand firm with my fellow Sheriffs throughout our nation to have our borders secured first, in full cooperation and support of our promise and mission to uphold and enforce our nation’s laws, and we expect nothing less from Congress.
As elected Sheriffs, we have taken an oath to do everything in our power to keep our citizens and legal residents, our communities, and our nation safe. Year after year, we have been warning the Federal government about detrimental increases in transnational drug trafficking, gang violence, sex trafficking, murder, and other escalating incident s of crime by illegal aliens entering our country.
Because Congress has failed to enact the necessary reforms, our citizens and legal residents face even greater dangers, our national security is more vulnerable, and our enforcement efforts have been seriously compromised.
Sadly, today some state and local officials have been enacting policies and giving lawbreakers shelter from being rightfully prosecuted and removed from our communities. In fact, these same laws forbid law enforcement agencies from cooperating with one another, and go as far as forcing the release of dangerous criminals into our communities exposing our citizens and legal residents to be victimized once again.
In a recent announcement a certain state has even stated that they will prosecute law-abiding, hard–working business owners if they cooperate with law enforcement to identify and remove lawbreakers from the community drives our justice system to a new low. We cannot have law-abiding citizens threatened with criminal prosecution for cooperating with the very people who they trust to protect them.
The Sheriffs of this nation and all our law enforcement partners understand that the oath we took to uphold and enforce our laws is the guarantee that they can trust us to preserve their safety and protect their well-being.
The failure of Congress to create legitimate and comprehensive immigration reform for more than 20 years has dramatically undermined our ability to keep our communities safe. This not only puts our law enforcement at serious risk for danger, but further puts them in an untenable situation of violating our oath and promise to enforce the law.
Further delay and inaction on immigration reform will cost more innocent lives, more financial hardships, and an even greater decline in the public trust that is essential to the preservation of our Republic.
Without border security and immigration reform, more Americans will continue to be victims of crime. Now is the time to act!
…………
Sincerely,
Baldwin County, Alabama, Sheriff Huey “Hoss” Mack”…
