The Unconstitutional Undermining of our Constitutional Republic

We are constantly exposed to the insidious rhetoric of the progressive socialist left, aka the Democrat party, about undermining our democracy. I would suggest a little Schoolhouse Rock refresher for these leftists who fail to recognize that America is a Constitutional Republic with a representative democracy. It is laughable to hear these mindless lemmings drone on about something they fail to comprehend, like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez saying, “RICO is not a crime.” It is equally disconcerting to know that they are the ones unconstitutionally seeking to undermine our Republic.
I find it unconscionable that we here in America are having this stuck-on-stupid back-and-forth conversation about illegal immigration. Hey, McFly, the operative word is illegal, and yes, human beings can be illegal. If someone breaks and enters into your home, and they don’t live there, they have illegally entered. If someone decides to break in and take your car, and they are not on the registration, they have illegally stolen your vehicle. Therefore, if you come into our Country without an invite and proper documentation, you have committed an illegal act, and are illegal. The U.S. Constitution in Article IV, Section 4, known as the Guarantee Clause, firmly asserts that the federal government must guarantee to every State in the Union protection from invasion.
The video footage of illegal immigrants (foreign nationals) overrunning Texas National Guard members at the border in El Paso is yet another example of the ongoing invasion by millions into our Republic. And this is an invasion that is being aided and abetted by our very own federal government, the Biden administration. To me, there is no greater example of treason and an impeachable offense.
But, it is not just that these leftists want the purposeful, intentional, and willful invasion of drug, human, sex, and terrorist trafficking in our Nation. They also seek to use this as a means to undermine our beloved Republic.
Consider leftist Governors such as Shapiro in Pennsylvania and Hochul in New York, who have admitted they have no qualms with illegals voting in our elections. Shapiro has advocated for illegals to have driver’s licenses, which, with the 1996 Clinton Motor Voter Law, would enable them to register to vote. In Illinois, Gov. Pritzker wants to hire illegal immigrants as law enforcement officers. Yeah, folks who broke the law to enter our country illegally are being given a badge and a gun to have jurisdiction over legal, law-abiding citizens. Recently, an Obama-appointed federal judge ruled that illegals have a right to own a firearm and that they cannot be restricted from such. This delusional judge believes that illegals have Second Amendment rights … but legal, law-abiding Americans do not. Sadly, read about the man in Arkansas who was gunned down by ATF agents in a raid on his home.
Leftists want illegals to be counted in our census. I thought that representation in our legislative branch was to be based on citizens. Nope, Democrats want representation based upon residents, or as Biden referred to illegals, “newcomers.” You can just imagine how it will skew representation in America when you include millions of illegal immigrants, but we are told that is fair. No, that is the unconstitutional undermining of our Constitutional Republic.
Here locally, where I reside, the Dallas City Council is pushing a vote, a council vote, to allow non-citizens to be appointed to government board positions. Yep, the Dallas City Council, a whole gathering of progressive socialist leftists, wants illegal immigrants to hold positions of governance over citizens. And oh, by the way, the city of Dallas is in the top five cities in America for sex trafficking.
Imagine the absurdity of telling the American people, taxpayers, that they must send billions of dollars to a foreign nation to protect their border… while ours is completely unsecured. And on top of that, the same American taxpayers must provide free benefits to those entering our Nation illegally… while our Veterans take their lives, are jobless and homeless.
This is not about being compassionate towards “asylum seekers.” Is it hard for me to believe that we have millions of single military-age males from countless countries, including Venezuela and China, who are here seeking asylum? And the recent apprehension of a Lebanese admitted Hezbollah terrorist should concern us all. How many have not been detected and apprehended?
Yet, we are having these dubious legal discussions about who has the authority to secure our border. Well, if the federal government abdicates that duty—responsibility—then Article I, Section 10, Clause 3 of the Constitution enumerates a power to the States to take action if “actually invaded.” something that is not debatable.
The Democrat party is taking unconstitutional actions to undermine our Constitutional Republic, and to this point, no one has held them accountable. We, the People, can do so in this election cycle. Joe Biden enacted some 91 unconstitutional executive actions in order to undermine our national sovereignty. He is an abject liar when he states that he needs border security legislation in order to secure the border. He just needs to reverse his very own actions, which he will not.
Barack Hussein Obama spoke in 2008 of the fundamental transformation of the United States of America. By way of the unconstitutional flooding of our country with illegal immigrants, it is happening. How many Americans have lost their lives over these Biden administration years due to his actions regarding our border? Laken Riley is just one of those who have been killed, assaulted, raped, injured, or died from fentanyl poisoning.
The leftists in America are more concerned with the politics of gaining power than your Life, Liberty, and Property (Pursuit of Happiness). Your inalienable rights mean nothing to them since they conflict with their quest for power and their ideological agenda. The progressive socialist left is the greatest threat to our Constitutional Republic. You are their philosophical and political opposition and a threat to their ends. And for them, the ends justify the means, and they will seek to attain those ends by any means necessary.
Steadfast and Loyal.
