DHS Points to One 'Simple Answer' on Questions About Grocery Costs, Jobs, Crime, and Healthcare


RedState 

The Department of Homeland Security brought the answers to those Americans upset about skyrocketing costs, making it clear that the reason lies at the doorstep of former President Joe Biden and his disastrous open-border policies.

In a post on Thursday on X, the DHS seemed to answer questions from Americans who want to know why things like rent, groceries, healthcare, and more are so high. It said the answer is simple: it's because of the "tens of millions of illegals in our country."

It included the following:

"Rent is too high!"

There are tens of millions of criminal illegals in our country.

"Groceries cost too much!"

There are tens of millions of criminal illegals in our country.

"There aren't enough jobs!"

There are tens of millions of criminal illegals in our country.

"Women don't feel safe walking down the street!"

There are tens of millions of criminal illegals in our country.

"Traffic is terrible!"

There are tens of millions of criminal illegals in our country.

It continued:

"Healthcare is too expensive!"

There are tens of millions of criminal illegals in our country.

"Welfare spending is through the roof!"

There are tens of millions of criminal illegals in our country.

"I can't afford a car!"

There are tens of millions of criminal illegals in our country.

"I can't afford a house!"

There are tens of millions of criminal illegals in our country.

"Many problems. A simple answer," the DHS post concluded.

It's not just lip service because DHS operations to crack down on illegal criminals in our country prove that every economic struggle could have been prevented if Biden and his administration had done their jobs to secure our borders.

Assistant Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, Tricia McLaughlin, provided a perfect example during a recent appearance on Fox News about the recent "Charlotte's Web" CBP operation in Charlotte, North Carolina.

"Amid a surge in operations, one of Charlotte's largest school districts reported 30,000 students absent, over 20% of its student body are potentially in the U.S. illegally," McLaughlin wrote. "That means the limited school resources (teachers, classrooms, buses, meals, disability accommodations) are being siphoned away from American children so that politicians can incentivize mass illegal migration."

McLaughlin is right. There are only so many resources available, and Trump's administration is trying to clean up Biden and the Democrats' mess.
