The Cost of Open Borders
Billions of U.S tax dollars are being spent in Sanctuary Cities on illegal immigrants.
- New York City has spent $1.47 billion on housing illegals; and another $53 million on debit cards for illegals and $1,400 a month for SNAP payments. Since 2023.
- Chicago has spent $300 million on food and housing for illegal immigrants and the state of Illinois has spent more than $470 million.
- In California, illegal migrants get free medical care and the state is working on giving them $1,000 month guaranteed income stipend.
While billions of American tax dollars are going to people who are in the country illegally, private charities have to be set up to provide our wounded U.S. military veterans and their families with aid they earned protecting America. That’s wrong.
I will go to Congress and deny Sanctuary Cities that use tax dollars on illegal immigrants from getting federal funding.
Affordable Healthcare
Healthcare is expensive!
As a practicing physician, I know that most of the healthcare costs DO NOT go to doctors and nurses, the true providers. Instead,
pharmaceutical companies and insurance companies receive the bulk of the payment. Many life-saving medications cost hundreds of dollars but can be purchased for only a few dollars in other countries.
If I am elected, I will make sure that medication prices are federally regulated.
The average malpractice insurance for an obstetrics and gynecology doctor or a surgeon is $120,000. Most of that payment comes out of the patients’ pockets.
If I am elected, I would make sure that no malpractice lawsuit passes to the courts without being approved by a Medical Committee, lowering healthcare costs by an average of 30%!
We cannot afford to be unhealthy. Help me restore health to New Jersey!
Our Stand on Crime and Drugs
Working in urban hospitals in New York and New Jersey, I have seen the horrific toll that drugs and gang violence are taking on our families.
Drugs and drug dealers are pouring over our nation’s southern border and they are causing death and destruction wherever they go. Shootings and drug overdoses are routine daily occurrences.
Working at urban community hospitals I regularly see the results of fentanyl poisoning, drug overdoses and gang violence. I have seen a lot of young people die and one of the toughest parts of my job is to tell a teenager’s mother that her son or daughter is dead. I wish there was a day that I did not have to do that.
I talk to the police about arresting the drug dealers and gang members; they tell me they do but in short order these criminals are either back on the streets or replaced by someone else selling drugs or guns. Why? Because liberal no-bail laws and liberal judges are forcing law enforcement to release criminals back to the streets hours after they are arrested.
America must have strict border security and prosecutors who will use the law to protect the innocent, not the violent criminals. Much of the violence we are experiencing today stems from the failure of Congress to protect America from people coming into the country to do us harm.
Media and News
Dr. Raafat Barsoom – an emergency room doctor, is running for Congress to help restore the American Dream and help his adopted homeland at a time when it has been plunged into crisis by radical progressive ideologues who have a stranglehold on government.
Dr Barsoom, 56, is seeking the Republican nomination for the House of Representatives in Congressional District 11- which is now represented by liberal Democrat Mikie Sherrill.
“I love America, my family and I are living the American Dream, but that dream is being shattered by extremists who are creating a nightmare for honest, hard-working Americans. I want to go to Congress and fight for the people that the Biden Administration and Mikie Sherrill are sacrificing to the progressive agenda,” said Dr. Barsoom.
Among the issues that Dr. Barsoom says America must address to keep the American Dream alive for future generations are illegal immigration; crime, taxes and education.
“Our country is being overrun by illegal immigrants who receive billions of dollars in taxpayer-funded aid despite having made no contributions to America,” says Dr. Barsoom.
“Violent offenders prowl our neighborhoods, breaking into homes, stealing cars, and assaulting and killing innocent people — while our prosecutors do nothing to protect us” he continued.
“The primary duty of government is to protect our nation’s sovereignty and keep our citizens safe. The Biden Administration and Mikie Sherrill are failing on both counts, notes Barsoom.”
As an emergency room doctor at CareWell Health Medical Center in East Orange, Dr Barsoom deals with the impact of crime and drugs on the local population daily. “Sadly, every week I have to tell a mother that her son or daughter has died. I don’t want to go on doing that. I want to go to Congress and make a difference in people’s lives.”
Dr. Barsoom was born in Cairo, Egypt to a Christian working-class family. He was admitted to the University of Cairo and earned a medical degree in 1993. He furthered his education at the American University in Cairo until he became a consultant to the United Nations Development Programs (UNDP) in Cairo. Dr. Barsoom opened a medical office in a poor neighborhood in Cairo and joined an American Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) managing United States aid to improve the health care of the local population.
Unfortunately, his medical office was in a district of Cairo controlled by the Muslim Brotherhood. Being a Christian in that neighborhood was risky. After receiving numerous death threats, he fled Egypt with just $200 in his pocket.
He entered the country visa legally in 1998. His Egyptian medical degree was not recognized in the United States; so, he was forced to work menial jobs to earn a new medical degree and raise enough money to bring his wife Eva and 7-year-old daughter to the United States.
He worked a full-time job and studied to pass the medical exams necessary to become a licensed physician in America. Although times were tough for him and his family, he did not take a single penny from the government; believing ‘if you want money, you must work for it.’
He began his U.S. surgical residency at Jacobi and Montefiore hospitals in the Bronx, NY. He then started his emergency and trauma medicine residency at SUNY Downstate Hospital and Kings County Hospital, both in Brooklyn, N.Y.
Eventually he and his wife earned enough money to buy a house in Belleville, NJ, where their son was born.
In 2010 Dr Barsoom began practicing at Mountainside Hospital in Montclair, NJ as an emergency room doctor. When the Covid 19 pandemic hit in 2020, he went to Texas and worked in a makeshift Intensive Care Unit with 95 beds for Covid patients.
“I came to America from a country where religious and personal rights, and political liberty were not recognized. Fortunately, I made it the United States and I am able to live the American Dream. I want others to live that dream too,” said Dr. Barsoom.
Support Second Amendment
Talk about guns has overtaken the public and media. The largest issue with guns is the legality of ownership. The reality is a large majority of guns used in crimes are illegally owned!
last year there were 356 homicides in NJ and 1365 homicides in NY, almost all committed with illegal guns and the majority were drug-related gang members.
I spent 4 years working in Brooklyn hospitals and treated, on average, 5 – 10 gunshot victims every day. Our major cities are over-run with young people falling victims to drug dealers and criminals. We need to start focusing on taking these illegal weapons off the street!
