FBI Surveils Catholic Mass, Ignores Mass Migration of 24,000 Chinese Illegal Immigrants
A Holy Misdirection
In an age where one might expect our guardians of national security to be laser-focused on actual threats, the FBI instead has taken a page out of Don Quixote's playbook. They're not battling the windmills of La Mancha but are instead jousting with persons of faith, all while seemingly ignoring the real parade of potential spies and saboteurs waltzing in through our southern border.
Imagine this: you're in church, praying, and suddenly, the person next to you might be an FBI agent, not because you're planning a heist or plotting world domination, but because you prefer your Mass in Latin.
Yes, you read that right.
A House panel report revealed that the FBI's Richmond office was on a mission to categorize "radical-traditionalist Catholics" as potential domestic threats, all because they cling to pre-Vatican II practices.
The FBI even floated the idea of deploying undercover agents in these sacred spaces, like we're living in some dystopian spy novel where your faith makes you public enemy number one.
This isn't just a breach of the First Amendment; it's a comedy of errors, with the FBI relying on the Southern Poverty Law Center's "hate map" as if it were the Bible. Meanwhile, real threats are crossing our borders like it's an open house with complimentary snacks.
While the FBI plays detective in pews, we're witnessing a flood of Chinese nationals crossing into the U.S. from the south. Over 24,000 in the first half of fiscal year 2024 alone, more than the total for all of 2023.
Are we talking about potential allies here?
No, we're talking about individuals who might have ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) or the People's Liberation Army (PLA).
But hey, why focus on that when you can keep an eye on someone lighting candles at Mass?
The Department of Homeland Security seems content to let the CCP and other adversarial nations exploit our porous borders while the FBI plays religious watchdog.
Take Shenghua Wen, for instance, a Chinese national who overstayed his visa and decided to set up shop in California. He was nabbed for allegedly trying to ship firearms and military goodies to North Korea.
Now, that's a plot twist worthy of a spy thriller. Yet, it barely makes a blip on the FBI's radar because they're too busy worrying about the liturgical preferences of American Catholics.
By prioritizing ideological witch hunts over actual national security threats, the FBI isn't just wasting taxpayer money; they're exposing our country to real danger. It's like setting your house on fire while you're out chasing butterflies.
It's time for a reality check.
The FBI needs to recalibrate its compass back to true north—where national security means securing our nation from external threats, not infringing on the constitutional rights of its citizens. The safety and sovereignty of the U.S. hinge on this. Let's hope they find their way back before we're all speaking Mandarin at gunpoint.
