In just two short years, Joe Biden’s Administration has opened up our border, undermined our sovereignty, and substantially altered the demographics of the country. But following the first midterm election of his administration, Joe Biden and his party generally avoided the wrath of the electorate.
According to the Federation for American Immigration Reform, around 5.5 million illegal aliens have entered the United States since Biden assumed office in January 2021. A record number of Americans have died as a consequence of fentanyl overdoses, which are now the top cause of mortality among young Americans. It has resulted in an unprecedented number of suspected terrorists crossing our border, putting our national security at risk. It has established a benchmark for the amount of migrants who have died while making the perilous journey from Latin America to the southern border. Despite all of this preventable bloodshed, immigration was not a top concern in the 2022 midterm elections.
Various studies have been conducted to determine how Americans prioritize immigration. According to a Zogby study commissioned by FAIR, half of respondents nationally see border security and illegal immigration as the top immigration issues facing the incoming Congress.
According to a CNN exit poll, only 10% of American voters ranked immigration as the most important issue. Abortion, crime, inflation, and gun legislation were ranked higher by voters than immigration. Even in regions where the fentanyl epidemic has been particularly severe, Biden-endorsed politicians were elected at all levels of government. Other politicians, such as J.D. Vance in Ohio, who made combating the fentanyl issue a centerpiece of his campaign, were victorious.
While it’s impossible to know for certain until all of the findings are in, it appears that candidates throughout the country failed to link the border issue to the spike in fentanyl deaths and drug overdoses among young Americans. This omission explains why immigration wasn’t a greater priority for voters in this election. While Americans are subjected to the consequences of inflation every time they go shopping, candidates were unable to adequately explain how the immigration situation affects Americans’ daily life.
This is not to say that immigration had no influence on the midterm elections, nor is it to say that the election was a total disaster for supporters of a more sensible immigration system. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, for example, was re-elected by about 20 points just months after flying illegal aliens out to Martha’s Vineyard in defiance of the White House’s immigration policies. While the corporate media erupted over DeSantis’ methods, people in Florida backed him and rewarded him with a historic win on election night.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott, who also made similar headlines by sending illegal immigrants to left-wing communities, was likewise re-elected by a larger-than-expected double-digit margin. For months, the press vilified DeSantis and Abbott, but people admired the governors’ firm stance against the Biden administration’s attack on their sovereignty. This was evident across the country. Swing-state voters rewarded politicians who reacted firmly to Biden’s border issue, while punished those who adopted a more passive approach.
Hispanic voters continued to lean toward the Republican Party, particularly in Texas and Florida. While the economy undoubtedly played a role, polls show that Hispanic voters choose politicians who oppose Biden’s border policies, which have resulted in a degradation in the quality of life for many of these voters.
This misinterpretation of the election results will only exacerbate human misery on both sides of the border. Unless and until American citizens prioritize immigration, this will be the new normal.
Amen!
Read enough articles by talking heads and you will begin to see that they’re all blowhards. In the first place, Biden is not enacting any policies of his own. He is a paper-mâché figure slapped behind the desk in the Oval Office to present the face of a president in charge. In fact, the Democratic Party is not in charge either. They have been bought and paid for a long with the majority of the Republican senior echelon as minions of the world powers who control 85% of the world’s wealth and politics, excluding China and Russia. They own all major media outlets which are their indoctrination tools to march the sheeple into the pen to be shorn by the IRS and their 87,000 new battle-trained agents. This is being foisted on the public. Better than 50% of us are oblivious to reality and what is about to happen to us. Everything is peachy keen as long as the refrigerator is full and the anesthetic of the latest sports fills their brain from the boom tube. As a society, we are focused on the superficial, petulant, and mundane with no knowledge whatsoever of the underlying philosophical components of politics. Politics is the struggle for power position. Nothing more. All authoritarians promise benevolence for the little guy because they need strength in numbers to retain their position. What a joke. You people better wake up. As you continue to wallow in idiocy you will wind up exactly where you belong, slaves to authoritarians and the underclass. The college population has been completely indoctrinated, delusional, and absolutely offers no hope for America when they soon hold the reins. Too bad America. I cry for my grandson. I’m 73. They can’t touch me because I’m a short-timer. They can go to hell.
Unfortunately, you are too right.
I am going to be 73 and I approve of your comment, as the absolute Truth. I have already been attacked by the riff raff from the Border (huge home windown broke out, Back of my Car window crushged and tire slit. So I am white and they have not touched their own kind yet. 3 houses down from me, Just stabbing to death a 70 year olf white man, who was just out mowing his lawn. An 18 year old (legal Mexican), just let out of jail. I read his newspaper statement, “I thought about, it, I did it and I don’t care”. The so called legal Mexican born here, are lawless to the core. Welfare to the hilt, and next door a home given to him (195,000) Certificate Paid for, as he lives with his girl, and his 2 kids. I have awatched it for 30 years. – Eastern Washington. Worse yet is the Governor fired Substation workers for not taking the shot, and our Power grid is under attack. I read he want us to freeze and starve to death and that Obama has been very good to us. (Kick backs for him, I am sure) The Abortion to birth and beyond, yes, God is done with America, They shoot and kill each other here, drug gangs. I could write a book 3 inches thick, on what I have seen all these years, just here.
You sir are 100% spot on.
I agree – but you need to take that thought further!
Fauci is a fake – 1M people died because of his talking head and Bill Gates! Only killed 1 M in the first round of Covid! Only needs to kill 4M in the second round of Covid – then Gates will be happy, and Gates is evil! Then take Soros – wish someone would but no one wants the evilest man in the world! And his son is up there with him! Just bought all the Spanish speaking radio stations or most of them – think that wasn’t planned? Think again! Remember Nostradamus? Stated the US will be invaded from North – Washington State! Guess what it is 2.4 miles from Russia to Alaska when everything is frozen – 2.4 miles – walk in the park when you have your new best friends the Chinese walking with you! Oh, don’t think it will be a war because Biden and Obama have sold this country out! Now it is up to the American People to get up and shout from the roof tops – This is the End – we are not going to have our country taken over by the scum of the earth! And we the people are the one that have to do it. Does anyone have the guts? I am a direct descendent of one of the Governors of the State of Texas and have written to our Governor Abbott for him to tell the POS in the WH to mind his own business. We were before there was a USA and it appears we will be here long after the USA is gone!
