Broken Borders, Broken Lives
When Americans talk about the cost of open borders, this is what they mean. In June 2007, Michael Caldera Delatorre, an illegal immigrant who had already been deported twice in three years, was back on American soil and behind the wheel of a stolen car in North Carolina. He was not just here illegally. He was drunk, using a fake identification, and speeding down a highway with zero respect for the laws or the lives of others around him.
The result was a crash so violent that one innocent person lost their life and another suffered serious injuries. Caldera Delatorre’s choices were criminal at every turn. He should not have been here. He should not have had access to a vehicle. He should not have had the chance to get drunk and wreak havoc on the lives of law-abiding citizens. Yet because of an immigration system that is broken beyond belief, he had all those chances and more.
How is it possible that someone can be deported twice in three years and still find their way back onto American roads? The answer is simple. The border is not secure. Laws are not being enforced. Politicians in Washington turn a blind eye to repeat offenders like Caldera Delatorre while families across the country are left to grieve and wonder if their loved ones will be next.
How Many More Tragedies Before We Take Action?
For every Michael Caldera Delatorre who gets caught, how many more slip through unnoticed? How many times do grieving families have to bury their loved ones because our government refuses to get serious about border security? The tragedy in North Carolina was no accident. It was the logical outcome of an open border policy that values political correctness over American lives.
The facts speak for themselves. According to WRAL News, Caldera Delatorre had been deported twice in just three years. That did not stop him from coming back, getting drunk, stealing a car, and killing someone. His presence on American roads was a direct result of government failure at every level.
Leadership is supposed to protect its citizens first. When that no longer happens, chaos follows. Drunk, criminal, and deported more than once, Caldera Delatorre was a ticking time bomb. The government failed to protect its people, and another innocent life was lost.
This is not just a border state problem. This is not just a North Carolina problem. This is a national crisis. Every community in America is at risk when the borders are wide open and the rule of law is ignored. It is time for real accountability. It is time for leaders who put the safety and lives of Americans before anything else.
