In reading “What’s in the Border Bill and Why Won’t All of Congress Read It?” in CC News last week, Jon Tester proclaims, “That is patently false,” when referring to the 5000 people the bill allows to cross the border per day, before “emergency measures” can be enacted and they can be turned away. I found this astounding as House Speaker Mike Johnson has stated the bill is dead on arrival in the House due to it essentially allowing the continued invasion of our country with 1,825,000 allowed in annually through this article in the bill. Wondering who in fact was telling the truth here, I decided to look for myself. There in the bill’s summary, on page 12 it states:
Sec. 3301. Border emergency authority. • Creates Sec. 244B of the Immigration and Nationality Act which grants the Secretary of Homeland Security new emergency authority to respond to extraordinary migration circumstances. The “border emergency authority” may be exercised if the 7-day average number of cumulative encounters of inadmissible aliens is between 4,000 and 5,000 per day and must be exercised if the 7-day average is above 5,000 per day. Exercise of the authority 13/19 is also required if the number of encounters on a single day exceeds 8,500.
There you have it. Tester is lying.
This brings me to our article in this paper last month, Try the Tried, wherein it was explained that the motto of all good Progressives is The End Justifies the Means (read Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals, THE Progressive handbook). A professed Progressive (a derivative of Marxism) will lie, cheat, steal, even kill (Stalin exterminated millions) to achieve the end they desire, believing their end to be so wonderful and good that it justifies doing whatever it takes to get there. Knowing the Progressive movement is alive and well in Jon Tester (one needs only to see how he votes consistently with Joe Biden and his lousy policies that uphold Progressivism and tear at the fabric of our Republic) why would anyone think he is someone to be trusted? I literally laugh out loud at his TV commercials seeing these poor “useful idiots” –to quote Stalin– they’ve paid to sit there and profess Jon’s trustworthiness.
There is no place for trust in the Progressives, unless you trust that they will act to further Progressivism. Yes, in this case you can trust Jon Tester. But the question here is, why do these people want open borders that have set in motion an invasion of our country? Why do they want to overtax our school system, our welfare system, our law enforcement, our social services, and generally jeopardize the safety of taxpayers, encourage human trafficking, and bait every poor addict or adventuresome kid in our country with lethal Chinese Fentanyl? Is anyone still willing to believe there are good intentions here? Do you still wonder if letting in thousands of military age single men from China and other countries who want to do us harm is a good idea? Do you still refuse to see that the Mexican cartels are quickly becoming far too wealthy nations among us?
Jon Tester has played a significant role in all these treacheries and what we need to be asking is, why?
Tester is relying on Americans’ ignorance, our apathy and party loyalty (huge sums of campaign contributions) to ensure his re-election. This open border business is a blight on our country (that’s being kind) and it is only a matter of time, says the FBI, until something tragic in nature happens to our sitting duck country as a result of this massive invasion. He is, by his support of this Border Bill, continuing to support the ever growing wobbliness of a country once strong with resolve for safety. In our dealings both at home and on an international level, we have seen a deterioration of American safety due to the nature of Progressivism, saying one thing to the people to get them to believe their supposed good intentions (we are a welcoming country and everyone deserves asylum), all the while lying in order to get a new Democrat Progressive voting bloc established in our country (the massive throng of illegals praising Joe Biden as they pour through our borders). And that, unfortunately, could be the least harmful of their intentions with this open border.
As a voter you have a choice, to continue to put your loyal Democrat head in the sand and vote to continue these policies for which Americans pay a heavy price, or you can retire Tester in the next election. And please, pray we do get to the November elections. We are.
