The number of illegal aliens who have entered the U.S. in recent years is impossible to know, and even the numbers given out in the mass propaganda media or by The Regime are not to be believed.
This from hotair.com.
The short estimate is: millions upon millions. Just since Joe-Joe Biden assumed the position, the number of illegal immigrants who have entered the country has swelled to be larger than the population of 36 states.
Or more. No one really knows.
Whatever the number actually is, we hear only about the ones who wind up in big cities like New York or Chicago—unless some spectacular crime is committed like the sad killing of a young nursing student in Athens, Georgia. Laken Riley was murdered by a Venezuelan illegal immigrant who wandered the country committing crimes.
What does the migrant crisis look like in practice? The population of a small midwestern town jumping by 10 percent in just two years. Police overwhelmed by domestic violence calls. Dead babies stuffed into cardboard boxes. An uptick in STDs in public schools. And of course: a…

But whether you hear about them or not, illegals have moved to every corner of the United States, often with the help of The Regime, which flies them around the country.
The Washington Free Beacon profiled one small town in Wisconsin and the terrible impact the illegal alien invasion has had on the city.
WHITEWATER, WI—The [illegals] began to trickle into Whitewater, a sleepy town of 15,000 an hour west of Milwaukee, toward the end of 2021.
Prior to their arrival, local news and political debates generally revolved around school fundraisers or the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater’s D3 athletics. Today, residents are focused on their 1,000 new neighbors, who mostly hail from Nicaragua and Venezuela and largely keep to the shadows because they lack official identification. Locals say the real number of [illegals] in the town could easily be double the number reflected in the police department’s official statistics.
As the [illegal] crises in big cities like Chicago and New York receive national media attention, Whitewater residents can only laugh.
Greater Whitewater Committee president Jeffrey Knight is quick to point out that [illegal aliens] have caused New York’s population to grow by 2 percent, while Whitewater’s population has grown by almost 10 percent in two years, almost entirely due to the southern border [invasion]. That would translate into more than 1.5 million new arrivals in New York.
An increase in population of 10% in two years—more or less—is staggering and not driven by an economic boom as the Dakotas saw with the fracking revolution. Mistakenly, the town was welcoming—a few people showed up and then let others know that it was a good place to come. With cartel connections the word spread fast.
Like Knight, all Whitewater residents who spoke to theFree Beaconprided themselves on their hospitality and did not express prejudice toward the town’s growing foreign population. But those who live here say they feel the strain migration has placed on their town: schools rushing to hire English as a second language (ESL) teachers, emergency services overwhelmed with unintelligible calls reporting domestic violence, and health providers faced with a flurry of uninsured patients.
A town official speaking on condition of anonymity told the Free Beacon:
Responding to the influx of [illegals] has put the town in a $400,000 budget hole.
Michael Smith, who has lived in Whitewater for more than a decade, said:
I haven’t seen anyone who isn’t welcoming, but you have to have blinders on to not see that there have been problems.
Everything is relatively overwhelmed right now.
Opponents of illegal immigration are often slandered as xenophobes, racists. But that is not true. Simply put, the large number of newcomers:
[Is] overwhelming an infrastructure that cannot meet all their needs and is costing the people who grew up and live here far more than they bring in.
The strain is immense, and there is no apparent benefit to the community from the influx of illegals.
Whitewater’s illegal alien population and its subsequent demographic transformation is a microcosm of this once-great nation. With an estimated 8.5 million illegal border crossings recorded since January 2023, small towns throughout the country have inevitably been problematically affected and will continue to be in dire straights until the problem is resolved one way or another.
God speed to Conservatism and to the Take Back of our Constitutional Republic.
