The following is a surprising post I saw 7/20/25:

Immigration law and activities continue to stay in every news report. You can’t seem to avoid the controversy.
Wow! Just today I saw this post above. Mexico apparently knows how to enforce a border, which begs the question, how much was Mexico paid to let all the Central and South American individuals traverse Mexico? Or were they all perfectly documented and legal visitors in Mexico, or escorted the whole way by courteous assistance? Curious minds wonder how that all happened without a lot of coordinated and cooperating entities across multiple foreign governmental and NGO entities. And all seemingly funded by US taxpayers, as it seems, through secretive scam operators in US bureaucratic and elected officials’ offices implementing or at least turning a blind eye to it all. None of it makes any sense. We will never know the full extent of harm derived from the flooding of undocumented illegal aliens and the full purpose for which this massive overload upon our human service systems and institutions was thrust on the US. I’m at heart your basic “law-abiding citizen”. It still just boggles my mind….. Oh, wait….. the US, it turns out, also has effective legislated immigration laws, but someone is benefitting greatly from (or plans to capitalize on) fostering defiance of the laws and protecting and providing support for people who came in illegally and under cover, some of whom have a lot of other questionable legal “baggage,” as well.

Some will have read my recent post about immigration laws and assume I am an unChristian, uncompasdionate, rabid deportation-manic MAGA syncophant. I am not. As I said there, I am your basic law-abiding citizen.
In the last 5 years I have provided assistance to 3 foreign-born individuals who came to the US legally, secured productive employment, made a difference in the lives of people I know and love and who now are naturalized citizens. In the 1970’s my parents sponsored a Mexican couple, their 4 children and the maternal grandmother to legal citizenship in Georgia. The man, Frisco, worked for my Father for decades. His children grew up and made their own way. Frisco and another young man, an African-American teenager my Father “adopted” and trained for a career both were at my Father’s funeral decades later. So before anyone judges my heart for my affection for America and for working with the law instead of against it, answer this question: “What investment of time and resources have you made to make America work better for anyone other than yourself and your immediate family?”
If the answer is “no one,” don’t waste my time complaining about or denigrating my faith, my politics, or my intelligence.
