Guest Column: South Carolina Must Reject Federal Migrant Resettlements

“This is a live issue that places South Carolinians at risk…”

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Thanks to the meme-ification of Donald Trump’s most viral line during last weeks’ presidential debate, most Americans have now heard about the migrant crisis in Springfield, Ohio. Thanks to the cat memes, you may even have heard about the impact of government-sponsored migration in Sylacauga, AL, Charleroi, PA, and other small towns across America. 

Over the past four years, the Biden-Harris administration has coordinated with NGO’s to place over 100,000 Haitian migrants in these and other American communities under “temporary protected status.” However, these migrants are unvetted and there is no end in sight for their “temporary” status living in this country. 

We know that these communities are not alone. In Biden’s America, every town is now a border town. Migrants both legal and illegal are being moved throughout the nation by the federal government. The Biden Administration has also pushed forward a “Humanitarian Parole Program” that allowed 30,000 migrants per month to come in from Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela, and Nicaragua. While some of these migrants have criminal backgrounds, nearly all are dependent on taxpayer funded programs. The program was paused after more than 100,000 cases of fraud were discovered in the first few months – but was restarted just a few days ago.

This is a live issue that places South Carolinians at risk. 

Neither Joe Biden nor Kamala Harris ever demanded that the 100,000 migrants who defrauded taxpayers should be deported. Furthermore, they did not say if they would prosecute the sponsors who lied to bring them here.

Some of these NGOs that sponsor and resettle migrants operate in South Carolina, in coordination with the federal Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR).  This is why I am asking governor Henry McMaster to refuse any federal grants that help resettle aliens in South Carolina. He has the power to refuse any federal funds that are not mandated by statute. 

These NGO resettlement programs place a strain on social services – and compromise the safety of communities when it comes to people who have not been vetted for criminal backgrounds and cannot be vetted given the failed states from which they are coming to live here.

Moreover, it allows businesses to undercut the wages and benefits they would otherwise pay American citizens to work. Government-sponsored aliens will work for half-pay or less – and all of their healthcare, housing, and food are paid for by the taxpayers. What a racket. 

Please, join me in urging governor McMaster to protect South Carolinians by saying NO to this government-NGO partnership racket that destroys American communities.

South Carolina must reject democrats. Mass migrant resettlement is only 1 problem the liberal nut jobs bring to the table.

How dare you call yourself a Christian. You guys are the most unChristian people in the world. You sit back in your beach houses, your lake houses, your 70k car, or your million-dollar residence, your fat bellies, and your fat bank accounts and shake your head as children and families die of starvation and lack of clean water, in places like Haiti. You do nothing but spew hate-filled words given to you by your hate-filled cult leader.

However, in the end, justice will prevail. You will get to answer to God, as to why you did what you did. If you are a real Christian that will terrify you. If you are a fake Christian, you will laugh it off.

I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not. Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

Blessed are the poor, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.

The simple fact is these are lawbreakers by entering our nation and crossing the border illegally, fact 2, we simply cannot absorb the poor and refugees from nations in the masses that have been pushed on us by Bidens open door negligence.

The people from Haiti are here legally. Border crossings are below where they were under Trump. And the truth is almost everything people like you and Trump say about immigrants are lies designed to stoke fear and hate of minorities.

They are not all criminals, drug dealers, or crazy people. They do not eat pets, and the crime rate among immigrants is less than that of US Citizens. In fact, the violent crime rate in the US is below where it was under Trump.

Illegal immigrants are not receiving Social Security, welfare, or unemployment benefits and they are not voting.

Illegal immigrants are not taking American jobs or as Trump would say black jobs. The unemployment rate remains historically low. Of course, the fact that two of Donald Trump’s wives are immigrants, proves we need some immigrants to perform jobs Americans are just not willing to do.

Yeah the J controlled uni-party is “legally”replacing White Americans.Good luck with your new America without Whites,it will be a wasteland.The people make the country,the blacks/browns coming here will only be able to drain what our people built then it will revert to what their home countries were.But the ruination of Christian American is the J plan.

Harriette,how dare you judge anyones devotion to Christ.You have an agenda and thus expose yourself as someone not following the Bible but using it to justify mass immigration/invasion which is replacing Whites(and only Whites)in our homelands.If it were Israel or any other race you’d be so upset at other people invading and forever changing their race and culture.But you have an antipathy towards Whites(masked in religiosity).You use the same talking points I’ve seen a million times using the Bible to push your evil agenda.Christ Jesus said to follow the law and to maintain your own homeland and laws.Its very clear He did not encourage other peoples forcing themselves onto anothers property.You are fooling anyone with your hasbara lies.
