It’s the Root Cause, Stupid
by Henry Schulte
Some three years ago, our wannabe president Kamala Harris led us to believe the way to solve the southern invasion was to fix the root causes. She flew to Mexico and gave them $4 billion of our dollars and over $5 billion in “private public investment” from the U.S. I have no idea what that means other than I’m sure we paid for it, and it didn’t do squat.
On February 22, 2024, a young Georgia nursing student, Laken Riley, was “allegedly” murdered by a Venezuelan, one of the millions who entered the U.S. illegally, though “invited” by Biden/Harris to “come on up!”
Remember those punks who beat up a cop and then arrogantly flipped off the camera? They weren’t flipping the camera off; they were flipping America off.
VP Kamala Harris urged migrants in Guatemala not to enter the United States illegally. She told them the journey north would be dangerous and would mainly benefit smugglers. Her policies made cartels wealthier than her friend Mark Zuckerberg and created massive human trafficking. She also warned them they would be turned back at the border.
How did that work out?
Unvetted Immigrant Crime Wave
Another “newcomer” invited by Joe Biden and Ms. Harris was deported at least four times. He ended up murdering five people in Texas, including a nine-year-old boy. He should never have been here, and those people he wantonly killed would still be enjoying their lives.
Such a senseless shame.
Kamala is adamant that she was never the border “czar.’ And in a way she’s telling the truth. Her failed attempt at “leadership” was trying to fool us as to how she was going to keep potential emigrants in their country. Telling them traveling north was too dangerous must have really scared them. She forgot to add that it’s going to be even more dangerous for American citizens when they and others from around the world came anyway.
On June 17 of this year, a 12-year-old girl in Houston was found murdered. She was killed by two undocumented Venezuelan men. What is it with Venezuela? They were initially stopped at the border but were released on the promise they would appear in court in the future. How many people are complicit in this absolutely insane ongoing scenario? How does Kamala sleep at night knowing she had a hand in all these murders by following the orders of Biden’s handlers to keep the border open?
And she wants to keep it open.
Kamala Harris and her escort husband donated a few thousand dollars in 2023 to a defund the police group backing a Washington, D.C. sanctuary city law. She already hails from one of the largest sanctuary states in the country. She preens how tough she had been on bad guys but is willing to cut law enforcement and give all criminals free rein to wreak havoc on American soil.
Up to July of this year, D.C. pushed past 100 murders. Our nation’s capital, the very one where Kamala is trying to defund the police, is a killing zone. This is the woman trying to get hired for a job where the number one priority is to protect and defend American citizens.
In Aurora, Colorado, more damned Venezuelans – armed to the teeth – terrorize an apartment complex. How is that possible? How did these guys manage to get guns? Police don’t even want to deal with this gang of 5,000 members. Colorado just passed eight more new gun laws this year and Governor Jared Polis, a Democrat, touts that all of Colorado’s new laws and regulations are doing great.
Q. How is this happening all over the country?
A. Because we let it happen.
Sanctuary Cities are Democrat Cities
The number-one NFL draft choice gets shot in the chest by a 17-year-old in San Francisco, the most whacky and left-wing city on the planet.
Over a wristwatch.
The leftist mayor, London Breed, of course a Democrat, says she “won’t tolerate” violence in her city.
What does that even mean?
A cornucopia of nearly 27,000 forms of crime took place in San Francisco through August of this year. And those are the ones they know about. Sounds like all is right in this far-left coastal city.
The weekend prior to the DNC convention, there were 26 shootings in Chicago and five deaths. There were another 22 shootings and another six died the first three days of the convention where throngs of Democrats were preaching Joy to the World. And how much did you hear about the Texas delegation that was robbed at gunpoint walking in downtown Chicago. You heard Trump’s name used in vain hundreds of times but nothing about how the country has descended into violence under the Biden/Harris watch.
By the way, Chicago is another Democrat-run city.
A 19-year-old from, you guessed it, Venezuela, shot at two police officers in June. He was riding his scooter the wrong way. First, he had a scooter, but I bet no license. Second, he had a gun. I keep having the left tell me Republicans are the ones holding up more gun laws. New York has stricter gun laws than California.
As with everything else, how’s that working out?
The NY Post reported recently that a staggering 75% of people arrested for crime in New York City is committed by those here illegally. The borough of Queen’s District Attorney’s Office told the Post, “The sanctuary city law is pathetic. It’s disgusting. It’s crazy.”
Under Harris, violent crime, and crime in general, will continue to rise. Her running mate, Tim Walz, let his state burn while he served as its governor. Harris helped bail the terrorists out. As the old saying goes, “A leopard doesn’t change its spots.” Neither one of them will fix any of this.
They’re the cause of it.
Just try and imagine yourself as a parent or family member who lost a loved one to someone who wasn’t supposed to be here.
Every one of those murders were totally preventable.
Remember that when you’re filling out your presidential ballot.

Thank you, Henry. People really need to be reminded of this over and over. Yesterday, here at SB Current I was amazed and dismayed at how often the comments turned to Putin. The media has been busy whipping up stories about Putin and his supposed invasion of the US through election interference. And these people are buying it!
So now having read your column I'd like to say a few things to these paranoiacs. I may be wrong - I'm just a civilian and I don't have a fancy background as an operative in intel. I just read the news the way most Americans are stuck doing. Nonetheless, at the risk of being labeled a dangerous mis-or-disinformation peddler here it is:
Yes, there is election interference happening right now!
But it's not Putin doing it. Putin and his government are not our problem. They are not the world's problem. They are certainly not NATO's problem. Our problem is our current government. And we're gifting this problem to what remains of the free world by not addressing it.
We don't know who's running America. It's not Biden or Kamala. But whoever is running America has invaded our country and taken it over. That's what this open border has been about since Biden took office. That's why Kamala, the supposed Border Czar, did nothing. Because obviously she was told by those on high not to do anything, not even to visit.
The election interference is being done through this invasion.
I am so tired of people decrying Putin and how he invaded Ukraine and how the US must wage an all-out war to get rid of him. And yet they say nothing about the invasion of our country by our own government.
They call Putin a murderer. But when the invading army let in here by our government kills American citizens, what do they say? “More gun control!” Meaning taking away anything we citizens might want to own to defend ourselves in the face of this invasion.
We're not going to have a real debate Tuesday, or a real election. Our country has been stolen.
When I was growing up, idiots were running around saying “The Russians are coming! The Russians are coming!” But they didn't come. And they're not coming now. They don't have to. But the idiots are still yelling “The Russians are coming!” “The Russians are coming!”
Harris, Walz and other like Democratic criminals need to be tried for treason with the appropriate punishment at Gitmo. Meanwhile these illegals have to be removed from our country and not permitted to vote. We CANNOT let them vote. It’s in our constitution the voters have to be US citizens. If all these illegal aliens were brought into our country simply to vote for the Democrat of the day, this is infuriating. How stupid is that?
