I write to encourage a call to action. We must immediately address the illegal immigration happening in Montana.

I, as well as many Montanans have seen the numbers fentanyl confiscation in Montana up by 20,000%, sex trafficking up by 116%, illegal immigration at our northern border up 597% with over 10,000 illegal immigrants crossing per month.

These inexpiable numbers indicate two things: The failure of the Biden Administration to protect America from the influx of crime caused by the illegal immigration crisis on our border and the need for the Montana State Legislature to act where the federal government fell short.

Rep. Ruben Gallego, D-Arizona was quoted by the American Press regarding securing his states borders as saying, every minute we wait means more fentanyl deaths, more strain on our first responders and the looming possibility of street releases something that no small community wants.

But what are we as Montanans doing with the information that has already been well circulated regarding our state? Are we still pretending what is happening at the southern border cant affect a state as far away as Montana?

Look at accounts like the Bozeman resident who was stabbed to death by an illegal immigrant or the apprehension of three illegal immigrants stalking Bozeman locals in a sex trafficking scheme.

Denying the facts can only mean one is suffering from motivated skepticism or an ideological fallacy.

This is not the case for Rep. Colin Allred, D-Texas who was also quoted saying, Our border communities are not just political backdrops, not just places you go to point out problems. Theyre places where real people live, where theyre trying to raise their families.

This is why I am calling on you to urge your state legislators to vote for a special session where we can gather for a week and address these issues as many other states have already done. It is our job to protect the Montana population by halting those inexcusable statistics. It is likely that the U.S. Supreme Court will soon be asked to consider the constitutionality of Senate Bill 4 enacted by Texas, which is what our bill in the special session is based upon.

"It will be important that other states impacted by the Biden Administrations unwillingness to enforce federal immigration laws have enacted their own laws to signal to the Court that we must have the ability to defend our interests if the Biden Administration will not. The impacts extend far beyond southern border states.

Representatives Bill Mercer HD 46, Brandon Ler HD 35, Sherry Essmann HD 52, Jodee Etchart HD 48, Mike Yakawich HD 51, Nelly Nicol HD 53, Larry Brewster HD 44, Greg Oblander HD 40 and Senator Kenneth Bogner SD 19.

A call for action on the border crisis - The Western News

WASHINGTON, D.C.Senator Thom Tillis and his colleagues recently sent a letter to U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and Attorney General Merrick Garland questioning the Administrations dismissal of asylum cases and highlighting the erosive effect of these policies on the U.S. legal immigration system.

We write to you today regarding recent reports of the Biden administration's purported mass amnesty for illegal aliens. According to a recent article published by the New York Post on June 2, 2024, the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) detailed the dismissal of over 350,000 removal cases since 2022 under the guise of prosecutorial discretion,the senators wrote.

President Bidens recent executive order uses 212(f) and 215(a) of theImmigration and Nationality Actto purportedly shut down the southern border if illegal crossings surge to a daily average of 2,500 over 7 days. This action is too little, too late, and its numerous exceptions make clear that the Administration is more interested in creating the appearance of an orderly border than stopping illegal crossings. It is also an implicit admission of the administrations failure to manage the border crisis effectively from the outset,the senators continued.

This Administrations approach has consistently downplayed the severity of the border crisis, initially denying its existence, then reluctantly acknowledging it, and now attempting to address it through inadequate measures. The repeated failures in border management under your leadership have led to an unprecedented backlog of 3.5 million asylum cases, posing a substantial burden on our immigration system and increasing the risk of criminal activities by illegal aliens,the senators concluded.

Tillis, Colleagues Demand Answers on Biden Administration's Mass Amnesty for Illegal Immigrants - Thom Tillis

Parents Defending Education submitted a public records request to the San Francisco Unified School District seeking any materials provided or shown to staff during training regarding students who are immigrants or in the United States illegally. The district provided PDE with hundreds of pages of documents. One document that PDE received was titled Characteristics of White Supremacy Culture. The document has a list of perceived characteristics of white supremacy, including perfectionism, sense of urgency, worship of the written word, individualism, and objectivity.

PDE also received a document titled Newcomer RTI Support Services Planning Guide. One point in this document is to explicitly protect illegal aliens: Adherence to & Promotion of Sanctuary City Ordinance. The document also states that staff should have training in Cultural Competency & Humility and Immigrant Youth & Police Contact. Another point is Recognizing specific challenges of newcomers. This includes immigration status and court appointments. This document also includes a list of resources for illegal students.

PDE additionally received a presentation titled Understanding & Supporting the Newcomer Journey. This presentation starts with a Land Acknowledgment and promotes racial equity and anti-racism. The presentation features videos that appear to promote illegal immigration, such as Children on the Run in Central America and The Life of an Unaccompanied Minor in L.A.

Another presentation is titled Building Sanctuary. This presentation starts with a Land Acknowledgment that states no one is illegal on stolen land. A focus of this presentation is Racial Equity Framing and states that immigration is a black issue. The presentation promotes that California is a sanctuary state and that the district is a sanctuary school district. This presentation tells staff how to handle U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Promoting open border and amnesty policies is increasingly tricky business for the left. After all, illegal immigration is a major issue for most voters, a concern thats apparently deepening as shown by a new CBS News poll revealing that 62 percent of Americans support, in principle, a new government program to deport all undocumented immigrants living in the U.S.illegally.

Mindful of mounting public resistance and hoping to soften it, mass immigration advocates long ago modified their tactics by conflating legal and illegal immigration, and euphemizing the term illegal alien with an assortment of mushy alternatives undocumented immigrant, undocumented worker, and more recently, New American. Now, a new sleight-of-hand is emerging in the form of local ordinances that permit private groups to create shelters for homeless people when in fact, they are designed to become overflow shelters for illegal aliens further displacing legitimately needyAmericans.

Its deceptive and offensive. According to a U.S. Housing and Urban Development (HUD) report, 650,000 Americans were experiencing homelessness on a single night in January 2023, a 12 percent increase from 2022. HUD also reports nearly 40,000 veterans are living on the streets, a 7.4 percent increase from 2022 to 2023. Substance abuse, escalating home prices and soaring mortgage rates, inflation, and a shortage of housing are contributing factors. Hundreds of thousands of Americans need a helping hand to turn their lives around. Short-term and affordable housing might offer that opportunity, but they cant find it; down-and-out Americans are foreclosed by migrants dominating occupancy at taxpayer-supported shelters and housingunits.

Not surprisingly, most of those municipalities have sanctuary policies, ironically peddled as compassionate when originally put in place, but which now displace Americancitizens.

Westbrook, Maine, is one such example. The city resides within Cumberland Countyheartily endorsing its sanctuary policiesand lays adjacent to the City of Portland which has become the migrant hub of Northern New England. As a result, Westbrook is suffering collateral impact from its neighboring city, and from its own illegal alien welcoming policies. Its recent solution to large numbers of loitering migrants has been to pass an ordinance that allows private groups to create homeless shelters in empty buildings, offices, churches, and single family homes that can operate a shelter as long as they dont exceed 12 people.

What could possibly gowrong?

The recent City Council debate over the ordinance was a farce, sugar-coated with hoorays for community spirit and welcoming neighborhoods, while lacking of any substantive discussion of the citys illegal alien sanctuary policies that have created a migrant housing shortage. Jennie Franceschi, Westbrooks director of planning and code enforcement, glossed over concerns about existing zoning requirements, property values, and public safety issues inherent in creating ad hoc migrant shelters by explaining just how simple everything will be under the new ordinance: A church that has a room that they utilize for the purposes of baked bean suppers or educational or social needs could then take that room and make it into a shelter if the needs of the community necessitatedit.

While the City Council avoided mentioning the word migrants in their push to justify more shelters, a few local residents did recognize the elephant in the room. Westbrook resident Martin Malia, sent an email that was read during the hearing expressing concern that the new ordinance would attract more migrants, and criticized the measure for the potential tax burden it could impose on property owners in the city. I do not believe the homeless shelter proposal is beneficial to the property taxpayers and residents of the city of Westbrook. Last year, the property taxpayers were burdened with an 8.8 percent tax increase. He added the current proposal would result in a cumulative hike property taxes of 11.4percent.

Mr. Malia knows something local leaders know, but wont widely acknowledge: 90 to 95 percent of those applying for general welfare assistanceincluding housingin Westbrook aremigrants.

Dubious that anyone but illegal aliens will occupy the new shelters, Malia continued while offering a perfect description of how sanctuary policies incentivize endless flows of migrants. Word will soon spread that resources are available in Westbrook. Then the calls for shelter expansion will ensue to meet thedemand.

Westbrook citizens can count onthat.

Despite lack of transparency, the new semantics are clear: For mass immigration advocates, homelessness and efforts to address it really mean accommodating and expanding illegal immigration, hiding that agenda, and tossing aside the needs of destituteAmericans.

FAIR Take | June2024

The issue of mass illegal immigration has risen to the top of Americans list of concerns, and for good reason: It impacts every aspect of life in this country. One of those areas that often falls under the radar is the impact it is having on Americanschoolchildren.

Last week, the House Committee on Education and the Workforce held a hearing to examine both the tangible costs of mass illegal immigration on American schools and the intangible but no less important impact it is having on the quality of the education. Wreaking havoc, was the succinct and disturbing conclusion of Rep. Aaron Bean (R-Fla.), who chairs the Subcommittee on Early Childhood, Elementary and SecondaryEducation.

Rep. Bean estimates that about 500,000 school-age children have entered the United States illegally since President Biden took office and, presumably, are in classrooms all across the country. But shockingly, even the U.S. Department of Education cannot provide a firm number. Under questioning at another hearing in early May, Secretary Miguel Cardona could not provide concrete numbers.Nor would Cardona say whether there is a point at which the Biden administration would agree that the numbers exceed our educational systems ability to manage theinflux.

Under a 1982 Supreme Court ruling, Plyler v. Doe, local schools are obligated to provide illegal alien children with a taxpayer-funded K-12 education. The cost is staggering. According to a 2022 FAIR report, the price tag for educating children of illegal aliens was $70.8 billion a year. The report examined data from 2020, which pre-dated the unprecedented surge of illegal immigration that began when President Biden took office in 2021. Based on Rep. Beans estimate of 500,000 new illegal aliens in U.S. public schools and the average per-child cost in a U.S. public school, the recent influx has added at least $9.7 billion in new costs totaxpayers.

The committee heard from educators from all across the United States, all of whom reported that their school systems cannot provide the resources necessary to meet the needs of the illegal alien children, much less those of their American classmates. School officials told the committee that they cannot even prepare for the new burdens that are being heaped upon them, as newly arriving illegal aliens often show up overnight. Predictably, educators from sanctuary jurisdictions complained about lack of federal funding, but money alone cannot magically produce new teachers, administrators and service providers, proficient in dozens of languages, to meet the needs of kids showing up from all across theglobe.

Nowhere in the country is the impact being felt more acutely than in New York City, where the per-student cost for the school year just ending was about $38,000. The city had to accommodate 21,000 new migrant students when the school year began last September (a figure that continues to grow as new illegal aliens show up), adding about $800 million to thetab.

The recent congressional hearings focused not only on how much the influx of illegal alien students is costing American schools, but also on the impact it is having on the education of their classmates. For a variety of reasons, American students are lagging behind our economic competitors in educational attainment. In 2022, only 36 percent of American fourth-graders and 26 percent of eighth-graders were considered proficient in math. For reading comprehension proficiency the figures were 33 percent and 31 percent,respectively.

The problems of American education go much deeper than immigration, but the massive influx of illegal alien students who arrive with special educational needs can only exacerbate the situation. The impact of unchecked illegal immigration on our schools may not have the same headline-grabbing effect as crime or threats to national security, but in the long-term it could play an outsized role in determining whether we remain a prosperous and competitivenation.

When, as Rep. Bean asked, Does there come a numberthat you would say, we just cant take any more, its causing our kids to suffer? our Secretary of Education and other administration officials should have an answer. They dont, of course, which is why so many Americans are so deeplyconcerned.
