The illegal immigration picture here in the United States has changed dramatically in the last 11 months. Since President Trump resumed office, the borders have been closed, and illegal aliens are being repatriated. As many as a million or more have left voluntarily, with the understanding they can return through the legal process.
This is why elections matter. Because, once again, the United Kingdom is presenting us with a vivid example of what happens when the government takes the opposite approach. In a sleepy little British town called Crowborough, 600 illegal aliens are about to be dumped into a World War 2-era camp, and the locals are not happy about it.
Last Sunday as a wintry sun beamed through the trees bordering the driveway down to Crowborough army camp, a rapidly growing mass of people gathered, chatting, smiling and relaxed – a mass which would eventually form into a wide phalanx of up to 4,000 people who would march through the centre of their small leafy town. This was the fourth successive protest against the placement of up to 600 men who had entered the country by illegal means into the heart of Crowborough’s community. As with the three previous marches, the protest was orderly, amiable and overwhelmingly comprised of local residents. Such is the growing public and media interest in Crowborough’s fight that even Australia’s Financial Review carried a piece designating the town as “ground zero in Britain’s immigration row”.
It’s good to see the British people are fighting back, but their government seems to be ignoring their concerns, and that’s baffling. It’s hard – nay, impossible to see what possible gain the United Kingdom could realize by importing these people.
As things stand, the Home Office has indicated that it is “continuing to accelerate plans to move people into Crowborough” but would not do so until “the sites are fully operational and safe”.
So it is delaying whilst accelerating – in other words, prevaricating and procrastinating – and whatever the reasons for the delay, it is reasonable to assume that those reasons are not connected to the safety of the residents of Crowborough or of the nearby towns of Tunbridge Wells and Uckfield, to which the migrants will be regularly bussed.
In other words, the Home Office is basically thumbing its nose at the concerns of the British taxpayers.

As for the illegal aliens themselves, to anyone who remembers the years from 2021-2025, well, this has a familiar ring to it:
If and when they arrive, the men will be from a range of different countries, cultures and religions. The authorities will not be clear about those details, they may not know themselves, but the local people will be even more in the dark. Locals do however know that their new neighbours have not travelled here by a normal route, but rather have come by stealth, by illegal means.
In other words, this is an influx of 600 unscreened, unvetted, unknown aliens who entered the UK illegally, and who now will be housed and fed at taxpayer expense.
The British taxpayers and the people of Crowborough have every reason to be upset. But here, on our side of the Atlantic, we can only look at this as an object lesson, an illustration as to the importance of elections. If (fates forfend) Kamala Harris had won the 2024 election, we would be seeing this here, now, in the United States. If Democrats manage to wrest control of Congress from the GOP in 2026, we will see the new majority trying every trick in the book to scupper the Trump administration’s efforts to get illegal immigration under control.
The midterms will be here before we know it. Pay attention to what’s happening in the UK and the rest of Europe, where illegal immigration is concerned, because this is what Democrats want to do here.
Editor’s Note: Thanks to President Trump, illegal immigration into our great country has virtually stopped. Despite the radical left’s lies, new legislation wasn’t needed to secure our border, just a new president.
