An independent American journalist recently faced a disturbing encounter with an illegal immigrant who had crossed the open border in Arizona. When the journalist asked about the immigrant's origin, the response was chilling: "You find out who I am very soon." This incident has raised concerns about the safety and security of our nation as thousands of migrants continue to enter the country.

The incident, captured on video, highlights the potential risks that come with unvetted individuals crossing the southern border. Many Americans are rightfully alarmed by the encounter, questioning the effectiveness of the vetting process implemented by the Biden administration.

While some officials, including President Biden and Governor Pritzker, may dismiss this incident as isolated, the reality is that our nation and every state face daily risks as illegal immigrants pour into the country. The need for enhanced border security and stricter immigration policies has become more evident than ever.

It is crucial to acknowledge the potential threats posed by individuals who enter the country illegally. The safety and well-being of American citizens should always be a top priority. As this incident demonstrates, we cannot afford to turn a blind eye to the risks associated with illegal immigration.

Supporters of stricter immigration policies are calling for action to address this issue. A petition has been launched to repeal the Trust Act, a legislation that protects Illinois as a sanctuary state. The petition aims to gather support for legislation that would close the loopholes that enable illegal immigrants to find refuge in the state.

The incident involving the American journalist serves as a reminder that the issue of illegal immigration is not isolated to border states. It affects the entire nation, and decisive action must be taken to address it. The safety and security of our citizens should always remain paramount.

As the debate surrounding immigration intensifies, incidents like this serve as a wake-up call. It is imperative for our government to prioritize the security of our borders and the well-being of our citizens. Only then can we ensure a safer and more secure future for our nation.
