Catch and release is in full force at our borders

Once again Daniel Strayer is completely wrong. Completely. He states in a recent letter that “he refers to our country having no borders. Tell you what Jim, drive to the Canadian or Mexican borders and see if there is a delineation between our country and those two. See if you can just drive across.”

Mr. Stayer, what on earth are you talking about? Over two million illegal aliens have crossed our southern border illegally in the last year. Two million, and yes, they can just drive across. With the help of the Mexican cartels who are being paid to bring these illegals into our country.

People are always being arrested because of walking across the border from Canada into the United States. How do I know this? I used to work for Customs and Border Protection, so unlike you, I know what I’m talking about. 

You have a really snotty tone of voice when you address “Jim”. I don’t know who he is, but you owe him an apology. You are wrong, and Joe Biden said publicly recently that the government “is trying to figure out why migrants are leaving their home countries”. Really? How clueless can you be? No prosecution for illegal entry. Catch and release in full force. Illegals are given a notice to appear and released to disappear forever into the U.S. Not enforcing the rule of law. If this administration can’t figure that out, they are too clueless to exist.

So, Daniel Strayer, why don’t you drive to the southern border and see if you can cross into Mexico. Be sure to let us know how that goes.
