In a revealing discussion with Real Americaâs Voice Ben Bergquam, a couple living directly on the U.S. Southern border shared their firsthand experiences and concerns about the influx of Illegals they are seeing. Their property, as close to Mexico as one can get, has seen dramatic changes since the Biden administration took office. The wife detailed their observations and frustrations, offering a candid perspective on the current border situation.
The woman explained to bergquam that when they first moved in three years ago, their property was peaceful and isolated. âIt was nobody out here. It was just us and the Gun Club,â she recalled.
However, things changed rapidly. âAbout six months later⌠we saw 16 people, and then pretty soon, they came by the hundredsâ300 to 400 a day, every day,â she described. The nightly disturbances have left them sleep-deprived and anxious, as groups of people pass by with iPhone flashlights, triggering their dogs to bark at all hours.
The couple expressed a willingness to welcome immigrants but emphasized the importance of legality. âI have no problem with people coming from other countries as long as they do it legally,â the woman stated. The discussion highlighted a significant concern among border residents: the perception that legal pathways are being bypassed.
Perhaps most striking was her account of interactions with the migrants. âThese people come to my property, open up the wall, and try to pay me with hundred-dollar bills,â she recounted. She described being offered fresh, new bills from American wallets, an indication of resources that seemed at odds with her own financial struggles. âIâm on Social Security, my husbandâs on Social Security. We get the minimum, and some of these people are collecting way more than Iâm collecting,â she added.
The conversation turned to political accountability, with the woman expressing her dissatisfaction with the current administration. âI blame the whole Democratic Party,â she said, criticizing the handling of taxpayer resources and questioning where the money goes. Her skepticism about politiciansâ motives was palpable: âIâm more concerned about the politicians getting paid off for this.â
When asked about President Biden and Vice President Harrisâs claims of addressing border issues, the husband was blunt. âWell, if they didnât cause this, then who did?â he questioned, urging them to visit the border themselves. âTheyâre saying we need to welcome them. For what? To take our jobs?â he added, highlighting a fear of economic displacement.
The coupleâs story paints a vivid picture of life on the frontlines of the border crisis. Their experiences reflect broader concerns about security, legality, and political accountability, resonating with many who feel the impact of immigration policies firsthand.
