I grew up in a small town. On Halloween we could hit every house in town with lots of time to spare. And of course everyone knew everything going on in Amesville. So I can empathize with the people of Whitewater, Wisconsin. We never locked the doors when we would go out and we were never robbed. Then, outsiders moved into Whitewater. People were no longer safe as the illegal aliens started moving in in droves and the crime rate exploded.
Daniel Meyer, the police chief and the city’s manager, John Weidl, sent Biden a letter begging for help. They complained about the crimes committed by the illegal aliens and they wanted Biden to help them out. They said that sexual assaults, are a “critical humanitarian issue.”
They wrote:
“Our law enforcement staff have responded to a number of serious crimes linked to immigrants in some manner, including the death of an infant child, multiple sexual assaults, and a kidnapping.”
The letter says Whitewater is facing the following issues:
- “Communicating with an immigrant population that generally speaks only Spanish has been a challenge we’ve worked to overcome by the use of costly translation software.”
- The letter says the city has “found approximately three times the number of unlicensed drivers on our roadways compared to previous years. This occupies much of their time and takes away from our ability to serve in other aspects.”
- “We’ve also encountered a significant trust barrier between the immigrant population and law enforcement. In many cases, this has led to individuals providing false documents and misleading our staff, which further increases our time involved in investigating cases.”
U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson visited the community in November and shared his impressions and concerns:
VISIT OUR YOUTUBE CHANNELI had a sobering and eye-opening briefing with law enforcement in Walworth County about the effect of illegal immigration on their small community.
U.S. Rep. Bryan Steil and I listened to local law enforcement officers led by Walworth County Sheriff Dave Gerber and Whitewater Police Chief Dan Meyer as they explained what they’re seeing in their county.
The national media will pay attention to big cities like Chicago and New York but little mention is made of the challenges faced by smaller cities. The impact on Walworth County resources is devastating. Issues range from communication barriers, to overcrowded housing, to overburdened schools. And then there’s the criminal element bringing with it cocaine and fentanyl. Law enforcement says their drug arrests have traced a quarter million dollars from Whitewater directly back to drug cartels.
Whitewater is still a safe community, but the root cause of these issues is our nation’s wide open southern border. I have said many times that our open border presents a clear and present danger to national security. Six million people have crossed our borders since President Biden took office. That’s more people than live in the entire state of Wisconsin. We must secure our border.
Revolver News notes:
“It’s a harsh reality, but the same disaster currently unfolding in Whitewater is coming to a small town near you and, eventually, yours too. It’s not about ‘if’ it will happen, but rather ‘when.’”
