THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM
In order to make a wise and well-informed choice for the 2024 election, we will provide you and remind you of the issues that affect our country and the Democratic stance regarding these issues. Why just the Democratic platform? Most conservatives tend to be a part of the Republican Party or the other groups such as: Faith and Flag Conservatives, Committed Conservatives, Populist Right, and Ambivalent Right. Pew Research describe these groups more clearly. In order to preserve our conservative values, we must understand the democratic mind-set. Those who consider themselves Independent are really undecided and perhaps need information on the issues and consequences. Outside of the far Socialist Left, I believe we all want a better country and a more efficient and sensible government. |
Open Borders We have been told by the democratic leaders of our government that “the border is closed”, "the border is open”, “the border is under control”, “there are no problems with the border”, and “President Biden is working on it”. I think, however, that we can all say that the border is a problem. There have been over 10 million illegal crossings during the Biden administration. This represents a population higher than the population of the state of Michigan! This has caused enormous problems with education, crime, jobs, health, housing, state budgets, and citizen sacrifice.
Education As a former teacher with friends and family in public schools, it is difficult to incorporate students from various cultures and languages into a traditional classroom. Many illegal students do not value public education or respect teachers. They are limited because of their inability to speak, read, or write in English. Most do not understand the laws, morals or values of our country. There has been an increase in vandalism, unlicensed drivers, defiance of authority, drug dealers, haphazard attendance and eventually dropout. This, of course, requires hiring new teachers who speak their language, more security guards, social workers and counselors. This causes more class and school turmoil.
Many of the students have tuberculosis, hepatitis A, B, C, syphilis, intestinal and tissue parasites. Many have not had immunization for childhood diseases such as measles. The government has allowed many into the U.S. without checking health issues or vaccination requirements. These issues and the stress of relocation and challenges of acceptance into a new culture require counseling not available in a typical public school. |
Crime Thanks to the 2 million migrants recently released, plus a couple million more “gotaways,” Americans must now live with thousands of unknown criminals with a significant chance of re-offending. The vetting (making sure the immigrant isn’t a terrorist, criminal, a immigration violator, or contagious) is only done from U.S. databases and some of our allies. It doesn’t include most of the countries that current immigrants are coming from.
These unvetted immigrants could be drug dealers, murderers, child traffickers, rapists, or terrorists. Seizure of marijuana (150,000 lbs) and methamphetamine (140,000 lbs) last year at the border has decreased but fentanyl seized at the border is steadily increasing. In FY 2023
27,000 lbs. was seized. Many people are being affected and killed by these drugs.

Jobs Are the immigrants expected to get a job or just live off the government (us)? If they are expected to work and have no first world skills, they will become maids, butlers, drivers, cooks, or servants. This, of course, means they will be competing against the citizens of this country, who already are having problems finding work. Perhaps they will opt for jobs they learned in their country such as drug dealing, prostitution, child trafficking, et al., and without a job, they will join the massive numbers of homeless and unemployed.
Health Issues I listed the health issues in public schools, but the demand for health care for immigrants who have not received health care in years are being given “free” health care at our hospitals and health care facilities. These people are receiving exams, medicines, operations, transgender aid, abortions, psychiatric counseling and medical supplies….ALL FREE!
All this free stuff will have to be paid by the government, which means that U.S. taxpayers will be burdened with the cost. This is at a time when many U.S. citizens cannot afford the medical care and medicines they need. Denver General Hospital has experienced over a million dollars in unpaid aid for immigrants that it may have to close unless they get funding from the government. This is exacerbated by long lines and long waits as immigrants and needy U.S. citizens wait for service. |
Housing Issues Buying a home these days is extremely expensive and few can afford them. The 10 million immigrants are now in need of housing. So, what is the Biden administration doing? They began by putting people in local facilities like gyms and recreation centers, but then began putting them in hotels for which the government (us) paid. As immigrants continued to pour in, New York shut down a school, put children on remote learning (at home), and used the facility to house immigrants. The Democrats had no plan to deal with the immigrants for which they left the border open.
State Budgets All the “blue” states who became sanctuary cities are now crying to the government because they don’t have enough money in their coffers to pay for these illegal immigrants. The Biden administration’s only answer seems to be cutting the wire on the border of Texas and allowing more people in. States must then find funds elsewhere, including the police departments, fire departments, health departments, schools, road maintenance and more. YOU WILL BE TAXED MORE!
Sacrifice All this mess will fall on citizens, many of which never agreed to this plan. The Democratic Platform under Biden is all about “You Will Sacrifice” and “You Will Bow the Knee” to the policies of the Democratic Party. Just think back over the last four years. Have you been told what to do with your body? Isn’t this what they say about Republicans that we want to deny women the right to choose abortion? Have you been told what car you should buy? Have you been denied the energy to run your car? Have you been banned from social sites because you disagree with the Democratic Party? Have you been told what to eat, what kind of stove to cook with, what animals you can raise, what light bulbs you can have, and have you been told that what is right to you is wrong to them? Are your children being programmed and taught to hate Jews? How long must we pay for other people’s children to go to college? How long do we pay taxes to protect Ukraine while our military is under attack and lives are lost? How long do we sacrifice?
