The migrant riots were about causing chaos, not about advocating for illegal aliens.
The "Summer of Love" of 2020 refers to the period of social unrest, protests, riots, and billions of dollars in property damage following the death of George Floyd that May.
It involved widespread demonstrations against law enforcement and perceived racial injustice, fueled by the Black Lives Matter movement and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
Five years later, just a few weeks before summer officially begins, we are kicking off the “Summer of Cloward-Piven.”
Cloward-Piven is rarely mentioned by corporate media and is seldom heard from the lips of elected officials.
Instead, it is regarded as a conspiracy theory only discussed on A.M. talk radio by knuckle-dragging, white, heterosexual, Christian Trump supporters.
Oh, it’s real, but it’s just not discussed in polite and enlightened communities, much like COVID vaccine injuries, stolen elections, or the deep state.
Wikipedia offers a summary that includes the two Columbia University professors after whom the strategy is named.
The Cloward–Piven strategy is a political strategy outlined in 1966 by American sociologists and political activists Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven. The strategy aims to utilize "militant anti-poverty groups" to facilitate a "political crisis" by overloading the welfare system via an increase in welfare claims, forcing the creation of a system of guaranteed minimum income and "redistributing income through the federal government."
Note the words “militant,” “crisis,” and “overloading.”

“Why aren’t people being arrested and imprisoned instead of being let go with no charges.”
The fascist media isn’t about to tell their useful idiot rioters that they could be beat, stomped and thrown in prison.
The entire national media embargoed the story that a big chief in BLM got 5 to 10 years in state prison under a state’s anti-klan law. Jesse Jackson went ballistic that a black guy got arrested under the anti-klan law.

IIRC, Cloward/Piven attended Bill Clinton’s signing of Motor-Voter into law, a law put over the 60 vote top by RINO senators.
