Another day, another group of illegal immigrants trying to enter the United States. This time, it was in Florida, where Martin County Sheriff William Snyder had to step in to protect his community from the influx of undocumented aliens.
In a stern letter to President Biden, Sheriff Snyder reminded him of his “duty to protect the people of the United States.” He detailed how his Marine Patrol deputies assisted in intercepting 59 undocumented aliens attempting to come ashore in Hutchinson Island.
These individuals, had they succeeded, would have likely dispersed throughout the community undetected.
This is a prime example of how the Biden administration’s lack of action on immigration is putting our communities at risk. With unknown ties to the area, it is difficult to envision how these undocumented immigrants would have assimilated and become law-abiding citizens.
Sheriff Snyder also revealed that a federal officer told him his unit was “overwhelmed and desperate for additional resources.” This only highlights the dire need for the federal government to step in and provide more support to law enforcement officials.
We cannot expect our local law enforcement to handle this influx of illegal immigration on their own.
It’s not just Florida feeling the brunt of this immigration crisis. The southern border states have been dealing with this issue for far too long, and it’s time for the Biden administration to take responsibility for the safety of American citizens.
Governor Ron DeSantis has already taken action by unveiling his immigration package, which includes stricter penalties for human smuggling and strengthening statutes for the detention of illegal immigrants.
In January, the Republican governor activated the Florida National Guard to respond to the uptick in beach landings by Cuban immigrants.
It’s time for President Biden to take a page out of Governor DeSantis’s book and prioritize the safety of American citizens. Sheriff Snyder put it best when he urged the President to reflect on the oath he took to dedicate himself and his administration to protecting our borders and, by extension, protecting the citizens of this country.
This situation also highlights the need for a wall on our southern border. We cannot have people sneaking into our country undetected and potentially causing harm to our communities.
It’s time for the Biden administration to stop playing politics and start prioritizing the safety and security of American citizens.
In conclusion, this situation in Florida is just another example of how the Biden administration’s lack of action on immigration is putting our communities at risk. We cannot continue to turn a blind eye to this crisis.
It’s time for the federal government to step in, provide more resources to law enforcement officials, and prioritize the safety of American citizens.
