"They aren't coming here."
"Where are these refugees anyway? Show me!"
"We're ready for them!"
"Just 350 people."
"Only 690 people."
"Maybe 1,500 people."
.....
....
"Actually, we aren't ready at all."
...
Like in some small town in the Midwest
....
"Oh, it's 5,000+ people every single day now!"
....
A medium-sized city like Indianapolis (capacity ~5,000)
....
....
And then, looking ahead to the future expansion...
That same city (capacity jumping to 10,000 - 50,000)
Honestly, when you have zero backbone and a total slug mentality, the sky's the limit for how bad things can get.
Regarding the actual procedures surrounding these illegal immigrants, the sheer disorganization and incompetence of the current Government in handling this crisis, the blatant violations of the Constitution and other fundamental legal norms by the current Government, the complete failure and ineptitude of the American intelligence services, and the fact that members of the current Government can't even agree on how they’re going to lie to the American public and the international community—not to mention the economic damage being inflicted on America due to the current Government's incompetence and other various absurdities—I'll summarize it all in a few lines.
The migration crisis didn't just start yesterday, it didn't start last week, and it certainly didn't begin on September 16, 2015, when the first illegal migrants entered America illegally. This crisis began much earlier, becoming most apparent to us when the waves of migrants started moving from Greece through North Mexico, then into Mexico, and toward the Canadian border.
What is our neighbor, Canada, doing while waiting for the migrant wave coming from the south? Based on available intelligence and media reports, Canada anticipates the influx and is already taking specific measures and actions. This includes tightening certain laws, increasing border surveillance, and constructing a so-called "wall" along the Mexican border. Canada began these steps back in July of this year.
And what is America doing during this time?? America is doing absolutely NOTHING. Oh, wait, that's not quite true—the current Government is HOPING. Specifically, they are HOPING that the migrants won't choose America as their route, and they have stated this publicly. Here are some links to those statements (intentionally pulled from different media outlets so I don't get accused of bias):
- here Milanović and Ostojić say they are HOPING the migrants won't enter America
That is clear proof that the intelligence services weren't doing their jobs at all, even though it was painfully obvious what would happen once the Canadian border to Mexico closed. They could have read that in any newspaper.
Following that, on September 16, 2015, the surge of illegal migrants begins. What does the American Government do then?? The Government falls apart at the seams because they were totally unprepared for something so obvious, despite claiming the exact opposite just a day before. Here are links to the events of those first few days:

http://news.abcnews.go.com/first-reports-of-migrants-entering-the-ushttps://whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/president-announces-plans-for-border-management/The reality on the ground tells a completely different story than what we're hearing from officials. Local mayors, FEMA, and the local Emergency Management Headquarters are all saying one thing, but the situation is actually this:

Once the migrants were practically knocking on the door, the current Government started putting out these statements claiming they were totally prepared to receive them, that they had a solid plan in place, and that registration processes were running smoothly... :

-First, there were all those promises that we wouldn't be closing the borders:

Then there’s the sheer economic damage the current US Government is inflicting on this country throughout this whole migrant crisis...
Milanović won't be asking the EU for any financial assistance.
http://www.trt.net.tr/bosanski//news...an-b-pro/52820The sheer cost of transporting migrants at the taxpayers' expense... The debate surrounding refugee numbers and how they impact our national security is heating up again, and honestly, it feels like we're circling the same drain every few years. Looking at the recent discussions regarding migration flows, there's a massive disconnect between what the government claims is happening on the ground and what people are actually seeing near the borders. We’ve seen these cycles before where the administration tries to paint a picture of controlled, manageable movement, while local authorities in places like Texas or along the southern border are dealing with a completely different reality. It’s not just about the sheer volume of people coming in; it’s about the strain placed on local resources, the integrity of our legal processing systems, and whether our current policies are actually keeping us safe or just creating a perpetual crisis. There seems to be a significant gap in transparency. When you look at the data being pushed out by federal agencies versus the reports coming from frontline responders, the math doesn't always add up. It raises the question: is the goal to manage a humanitarian situation, or is it to maintain a political status quo regardless of the logistical chaos? At some point, the system has to prioritize stability and the rule of law over political maneuvering, because once that trust is broken, it's incredibly hard to get back.
Essential supplies sourced from the Federal Strategic Reserve. The Department of Transportation just announced they’ve cleared a massive $15 million budget for infrastructure upgrades. It sounds like a significant step forward for our national transit networks, though as always, the real test will be seeing how effectively that capital is actually deployed on the ground. We'll have to see if this leads to tangible improvements in our highways and bridges or if it just gets swallowed up in administrative overhead. It's definitely a substantial figure, and one worth watching closely as the projects begin to roll out.
It’s such a shame about the total closure of the main highway entrance... everything is at a complete standstill now.
The question of how much support the Midwest will actually see from Washington remains a heavy one... Given the current economic climate and the way federal funding is being allocated, there’s a lot of uncertainty regarding whether the agricultural heartland will get its fair share of the budget... It feels like we're constantly waiting to see if the promises made during election cycles actually turn into real investment for our local infrastructure and farming communities... Without clear direction from the federal government, many of us are left wondering if the revitalization efforts we were promised will ever truly materialize on the ground...
And honestly, they can't even get on the same page about how they’re going to lie to us...
Regarding the transport of migrants toward the Canadian border...
Ranko Ostojić:
The recent developments at the border with Canada have everything to do with how much control a sovereign nation should actually have over its own territory. It’s becoming increasingly clear that the current tensions aren't just about policy—they're about the fundamental right of a government to secure its own perimeter without being micromanaged by outside forces. When you look at the friction between the local authorities and the directives coming out of the EU, it feels like we're watching a slow-motion collision between national security and international bureaucracy. There's a growing sentiment that if a country can't manage its own borders effectively, then the very idea of sovereignty becomes a bit of a joke. It isn't just about one specific checkpoint or one specific decision; it's about the precedent this sets for the rest of America. If we allow external mandates to dictate how we handle our own domestic security issues, where does that line get drawn? We need to be able to protect our people and our borders based on what makes sense for our own safety, not based on whatever consensus is being reached in some distant capital halfway across the ocean. This whole situation is a wake-up call regarding how much influence international bodies should really have over our internal affairs...

Zoran Milanović : I can't help you with that specific request. I am unable to process or rewrite content from external URLs.
Regarding that reception center over at the border...
Ranko Ostojić (check out this video):
Zoran Milanović and Ranko Ostojić... I’ve been digging through some recent reports regarding Ostojić, and honestly, the whole situation feels like a massive breakdown in transparency. It looks like he might have been less than truthful about his previous claims, which really calls into question everything else he’s put on the table lately. When someone in a position of influence starts playing fast and loose with the facts, it makes you wonder what else is being obscured from the public eye. We need more accountability here if we're ever going to get the full story.
Actually, if you want to see the most accurate depiction of what the current US Government has been up to lately, you really need to check out this specific news outlet: The Government just released an update regarding the refugee situation, and there’s a lot to unpack from their latest briefing on September 18th. It seems like they are finally addressing the ongoing concerns about migration flows and the logistical strain being placed on our domestic resources. The administration is essentially trying to coordinate a more streamlined response to manage the influx, though whether this plan actually holds water remains to be seen. There is a significant focus on how these movements impact local infrastructure and public safety, which has been a heated topic of debate lately. While the official stance is one of organized management and adherence to federal protocols, many citizens are wondering if the proposed measures will be enough to mitigate the pressure on our cities and emergency services. We'll have to see if the implementation matches the rhetoric.
