If we had a honest and dedicated mainstream news media in our nation today we would have already brought this mess under control. The liberal media just ignores the situation on the border. This coverup helps Joe Biden and hurts our nation. To the mainstream media the end justifies the means.
The problem isnāt that the media is covering anything up. They really arenāt. The problem from your point of view is that the news is routine.
40,000 people die in auto accidents every year. If the press reported on every fatality it would be nonstop with no time for anything else. Unless it is something unusual, say four cheerleaders on their way to prom, donāt expect the Press to give much notice to the deaths.
I was in Los Angeles when the Olympics came in 1984. The jokes then were that Mexico wasnāt sending a team. Everyone who could run, jump, or swim was already here.
It is routine. It isnāt a crisis. It hasnāt been for decades. Complaining that the media isnāt paying attention is just saying they arenāt hyping the story you think matters. And frankly they would have to hype it beyond all rationality.
Hysteria aside, the people know what is going on. They know the gardeners they see mowing lawns and trimming hedges are probably Illegals. And they donāt care. They know the day laborers at the hardware store are illegals. And they donāt care.
So the effort to ramp up the hysteria continues. And nobody seems to notice. It isnāt an effort to cover anything up. It is the Press realizing something you havenāt. The people generally donāt care if someone sneaks into the country and earns a living working hard. And those people believe, or know, depending on your point of view, that a vast majority of the Illegals are working hard.
This nonsense has been going on for all my life. And it isnāt going to change anytime soon. We donāt have the manpower to stop it. And if we had the manpower we couldnāt afford it.
There is nearly two thousand miles of border. Much of it is rugged and difficult to access. Border Patrol uses horses in the 21st Century because they work better than vehicles in some of that terrain.
Letās use some simple middle school math. There are about 2,000 miles. That comes to more than three million yards. That is a lot of length.
If we stationed a man every fifty yards which still leaves gaps for people to sneak through, we are talking about needing 60,000 people. Three shifts per day, and we need 180,000 people. That is just to stand on the line. That doesnāt process anyone. Transport food, or anything. That is just people standing on the line.
And that only covers 5 days a week unless you arenāt going to give them a day off.
Three army divisions a shift. Three shifts a day.
Nothing in reserve. Nothing to react to any hostility. No backup for the boys on the line.
This is where you lose the people. And the Press knows it. It is virtually impossible. A ridiculous number of people just to have gaps that illegals will still sneak through. An insane amount of money to a system that wouldnāt work.
The Press isnāt covering it up. Everyone knows what is going on. Everyone knows about the millions of illegals who are here. Everyone sees them everyday. Everyone knows that they are picking crops at the farms. Everyone knows they are in Florida right now working to clean up after the hurricane.
The problem you have is that nobody else has their panties knotted up over it.
