On Monday, April 15, the New York Publish printed a chunk that was positive to make California Leftists get their knickers in a twist:

‘Californians Are Shopping for Up Weapons After Border Patrol Begins Dumping Hundreds Of Migrants On Streets’

 A run on weapons in San Diego? May this be proof that residents are rattled due to the huge improve in unlawful migrant crossings on this border metropolis?  In line with the Publish, such crossings in February averaged a whopping 1,200 per day and if that weren’t alarming sufficient, San Diego processing facilities have reached an “eye-popping 245% of capability.”  They aren’t solely unable to accommodate the huge numbers, however the facilities are additionally incapable of vetting the migrants, in order that they have been launched immediately on to the streets.  This has created an elevated degree of concern, and sure – concern.

That’s why there’s been a major bump in gun gross sales.  It’s no marvel that residents are making selections to step up their private safety and are arming themselves.

What’s truly extra surprising than individuals shopping for weapons for private safety is the extent of squawking that comes from the Left; they’re genuinely shocked when the general public reacts to the dire penalties that come from their dangerous insurance policies.  What do they assume goes to occur when our borders have a giant welcome signal and no course of to successfully vet those that illegally enter our nation?

The Border Patrol is our first line of protection and so they definitely have ideas on the matter.  In an announcement to the Publish by the San Diego Nationwide Border Patrol Council President Manny Bayon, they’re in a troublesome place on condition that “we solely know what now we have in our databases, however once they’re coming from different international locations, if the USA doesn’t have cooperation we don’t know what their background is of their nation.”  He went on to say that “It’s affecting morale very a lot so as a result of clearly we took an oath to defend the USA from all enemies overseas and home. There’s no penalties for anybody coming to the USA now,” Bayon stated of the mass releases and the lack to correctly vet them.

In remarks to the Publish, resident and Firearms United buyer Keith Carnevale stated he’s armed his whole household.  “My spouse and I’ve had residence protection weapons for a few years. Just lately, although, with all of the stuff that’s taking place south of the border and all of the individuals coming over, my issues have broadened.”   His son Anthony Carnevale additionally got here in to buy a gun and questioned whether or not the San Diego space was sufficiently ready to deal with the massive numbers of people being launched.  “I don’t assume it’s only a matter of the numbers of undocumented individuals, I feel lots of people are involved concerning the state of our personal authorities to be simply permitting this and why.”            `                               

Longtime resident of San Diego County and former Assemblyman and SD County Undersheriff Jay La Suer expressed alarm about what is occurring in his personal again yard – and the nation at giant.

“Our nationwide management has destroyed our borders and allowed tens of millions of unlawful aliens into our nation with out vetting them. Hundreds from nations who don’t have anything however contempt for America and our society blatantly stream throughout our borders, smuggling fentanyl and bringing with them their dislike and contempt for our lifestyle and our residents whereas our authorities seems to be the opposite means…it seems, to no less than the informal observer, that our authorities is inviting catastrophe to go to its wrath upon the very individuals our leaders swore to guard.”

We couldn’t have stated it higher ourselves.
