Ian Roberts was being paid $305,000.00 annually as Superintendent of the Des Moines Public Schools. Here’s the problem: he’s an illegal immigrant. Who overstayed a student visa from 1999. Who has a final deportation order. He was charged with illegal weapons possession in 2020. Who’s “PhD” seems to have come from an on-line PhD mill.

Now, you and I can’t open a bank account without proving beyond a reasonable doubt that we are who we say we are. This guy started working in education in 2000 and has bounced around from one district to another around the country to finally rise to the top as a district Superintendent. And nobody ever checked. Not once. The most cursory examination of his record would have exposed him. Reminder: he was hired (apparently at the behest of one of Michelle Obama’s former White House aides) after the weapons charge. He had a felony record in the books…and he got hired.

Sure, we know why: he’s a black immigrant. That is the only criteria the school district in Iowa looked at – the only thing they cared about. You can just see in your mind the meeting: while Iowa is Red, the education system – as it is almost universally in the USA – is controlled by the Left…they were in their little offices casting about for a new Superintendent in 86% white Iowa and they saw him! Their savior! The Man who would Lead them to the Promised Land…or, more importantly, be a black face up front protecting the school district from scrutiny on such tedious things as reading comprehension…you know: “hey, buddy, you some kinda racist thinking our black immigrant Superintendent isn’t doing his job???”. He was hired without a second thought…and without an actual background check (at least, they all hope so…failure to do that is probably a misdemeanor…if they did do the background check and then tossed it aside, they’re probably all looking at felonies). As I said, we know why he was hired – but we do need to look deeper into the how of it all.

Because just how many such are there? Ultimately, both in the citizen and alien category. That is: people who had no documentation to back up their claims about themselves. People who have wormed their way into positions of grave responsibility even though they don’t have the least qualification for the job. I’m guessing this is a tip of the iceberg…remember, he worked in school districts all around the country for 25 years. As a school Superintendent – and, previously, a school Principal – he had great control over hiring and promotion…how many fraudulent people did he help into the system? And how many people in the system – citizen or not – now have a vested interest in the truth not coming out? And how many other professions are inhabited by phonies and illegals?

It might be that for all immigrants a background check will have to be done. It’ll take millions of person-hours. It’ll cost billions. But everyone who has come in over the past 30 years simply has to be reviewed…their names checked, their credentials verified. And it will have to start with a law saying that if you entered illegally or falsified any evidence, then not only will you be deported – even if now a technical citizen – but you’ll first spend 20 years doing hard time in a federal prison…so, self deport now if you’re faking it. Everyone here under the slightest of false pretenses has to go…I don’t care how long they’ve been here or what allegedly good things they’ve done…if you lied, you’re out. It must be this way. Liars must never be allowed to profit off their lies.

And then we have to start reviewing the credentials of Americans…just where did everyone’s degree come from? Just what skills can they demonstrate in line with what we’re paying them to do? We have to find out who is a fraud and get them out of any position of responsibility. Because it is twofold here: not only are these people no good, they must hire and promote their like in order to defend themselves against exposure. That is, they have to hire people even more questionable and incompetent than themselves. See how this is likely working? He was in the system for a quarter century…that’s a lot of people flying cover. Why? Because they need cover as well.
