Andrew DeRogers, a Cape Cod resident born and raised on the coast, has sparked national attention after delivering an unflinching speech at his local city council meeting.

During the session, when asked for his name and community affiliation, DeRogers responded: “Yes. My name is Andrew DeRogers. I’m born and raised on Cape Cod.”

The man then stated: “I am that taxpayer that several of the people who sat up here and spoke are talking about. What is on the line is very simple. It is a declaration of your allegiance either to the American citizen—the legal, taxpaying American citizen—or the chosen community of foreign nationals who have been trafficked into this country for purposes of census data, for purposes of seats, for purposes of power, and for purposes of taxes.”

He added: “I am sick to effing death of paying for such bullshit, and I’m sick to death of being lectured about compassion, about patience and understanding. I have lived here all my life, and I have been required for all 40 years of that life to obey the law and follow the rules.”

DeRogers continued: “There will be no Social Security check for me when I can’t work anymore. I have never once received any of the benefits that have been spoken of here. Nobody is beating down my door to help me fix up my house so that it doesn’t collapse on me, or lower the cost of the electricity that I have to pay.”

He further explained: “I don’t get health insurance. I can’t afford it. But I am punished by this state for not being able to afford it so that people who are in this country illegally can benefit from it and go see the doctor whenever they want. And that is a fact, and I am sick of it.”

DeRogers also noted: “I am not an un-understanding individual. I am not an uncompassionate individual. But my generosity has been abused, and I am sick of it.”

He concluded his remarks with: “I am sick of being treated as an indentured servant to foreign nationals in my country and in my community. And I don’t give a damn whose feelings that hurts.”

Additionally, DeRogers shared: “So you can either approve this measure and show legal, law-abiding, taxpaying citizens that they do not matter to you, or you can reject it and show them that you are listening.”

He added his experience abroad: “And for the record, I traveled abroad to a foreign nation, and you would not believe the amount of documentation I was required to have on me at all times and show whenever anybody asked. And you can bet your ass, if I broke their laws, they would have nailed my ass to the wall. And I was very well-behaved over there, and I was very respectful to the people because I was a guest in their country. I wasn’t due anything.”
