Southern Border states get the bulk of the news stories about illegal entrants, drugs, and human trafficking, but in late 2023 to early 2024, Northern Border states began to steal some of the spotlight. The Biden Cartel and others were using the distractions in the south to take advantage of opportunities in the north. The region agreed to work together to address the growing issue, but New Hampshire is the only state this side of the Great Lakes that isn’t a sanctuary state.
Vermont, New York, and Maine have the progressive disease for which clean elections, blogs like this, and persistence are the only cure. They embrace the crime, disease, chaos, and displacement because it advances their goals and agenda.
While Vermont and Maine are proud sanctuaries for neutering and drugging children, cartel members, international gangs, drug, human, and sex trafficking, and other crimes that rise with it, the Granite State has banned sanctuary cities and driver’s licenses for illegal aliens. It also made the gender transition of minors illegal, which will force adults and too many educators with Muchauesn by Proxy to fast-track planned neutering before January 1, 2025, when the New Hampshire law takes effect, or cross the border after to ruin that child’s life in Maine or Vermont.
One commenter said they were already “building” their transgender underground railroad.
It also leaves New Hampshire with a burden of responsibility when it comes to border protection. Even former Gov. Sununu was okay with using all available resources to protect New Hampshire’s border from the Biden cartel, but that’s since transitioned to include deterrence and deportation. Gov. Ayotte has been nothing but willing and helpful on the issue. Neighboring Gov. Phil Scott, however, who is a more moderate republican, has declined a request by the Secretary of Defense for Vermont National Guard troops to help the Feds operations in the state.
The secretary of defense asked governors of several states including Vermont to activate National Guard troops to help ICE crackdowns. But Scott administration officials say the governor declined the request for 12 soldiers, saying that he didn’t think the situation met the criteria to federalize National Guard personnel.
“These requests are not entirely uncommon and have been declined in the past, depending on the circumstances. The governor believes there may be an opportunity to reassign other federal personnel, including recently laid-off federal administrative employees or the limited services personnel the federal government no longer anticipates funding,” said the governor’s spokesperson.
It may not have risen to that level in Vermont (in Scott’s mind). However, you’d be right to argue otherwise, given the way crime keeps growing and the State police force’s inability to address it, in conjunction with the illegal invasion situation. Burlington’s rise in crime is not dissociated from embracing foreign invasion. Multiculturalism is a failed experiment.
As for “recently laid off workers,” who does he mean, exactly? The purpose of laying off employees is to unemploy them, not repurpose them for work which they are ill-equipped to handle. Soon-to-be former NPR staff writers? Overweight Ex-Dept of State cat ladies?
I get that this is Vermont. Gov. Scott’s tenure relies on many moderate Democrats who, while unable to wrestle sanity back from the radicalization and chaos within their party, manage to show up to re-elect Phil Scott every few years. The deportation issue is a hot-button topic, especially within the agricultural community, which I’m guessing means most Vermonters on that side of the debate are for undocumented underpaid work (including child labor), so there are berries on their breakfast table.
No one has found any unaccompanied underage foreign minors employed in Vermont to my knowledge, but why would California be the only blue state working that contradiction?
Maybe Gov. Scott can’t afford to play a willing part in ICE potentially discovering illegal child workers or any other kind working farms in the Green Mountain State. His hands are tied, so to speak. But the illegal farm worker thing is an essential issue, as it is with illegals anywhere else. You don’t get to pick and choose which laws you get to enforce, especially if defending democracy crawls out of your mouth at every opportunity.
Democracies may be mob rule, but their hammer and sickle are laws passed by the majority mob. Even a dolt ought to realize that if they are comfortable ignoring laws for political purposes in a Republic, which is what sanctuary and anti-ICE action are, then you’d better accept this unpleasant fact. There is no law, even those the Progs pass, which will apply to them if it is politically inconvenient.
And as a reminder to moderate Republicans, appeasing the left, especially the far left, is a game of extortion you can never escape because no matter what you do, it is never enough. And while I’m not sure how much further they expect to go after men in women’s sports, the neutering of children, and shooting ICE agents, do we want to wait to see where next is?
Hint: It looks like Antifa street thugs are rounding up citizens who disagree with them on Facebook. There is no appeasing those people, so don’t try.
If you want to impress people, end open borders and sanctuary states and cities. You’ll find yourself making progress on various issues, including housing, disease outbreaks (like measles), schools, higher taxes, stressed aid agencies, disorder, drug addiction, and more.
Sanctuary is not passionate. It leads to long-term harm to actual citizens. You know, Vermotners. Americans. A dozen National Guard Troops doesn’t solve that, but it’s a step in the right direction.
