Why Exactly Did They Destroy the Border?
American Greatness ^ | 2/19/2026 | Victor Davis Hanson

Posted on 02/19/2026 5:53:44 AM PST by whyilovetexas111

Why would any president destroy the U.S. southern border?

The Left typically “pounces” on anyone daring to suggest that the Biden administration had green-lighted illegal immigration to gain new constituents for agendas that otherwise were without broad public support.

The Left smears critics of open borders as racist conspiracists spreading the “Great Replacement Theory.”

Ping! Out to the Victor Davis Hanson list

There is only one way that the left would ever oppose a return to legal, measured, and diverse immigration. Namely, if any of its immigrant constituencies in the future—such as the 55 percent of Hispanic males who voted for Trump in 2024—dared to vote on criteria other than federal entitlements, ethnic solidarity, and Democratic coercion.

Another of Prof Hanson's excellent articles on immigration - and he speaks the TRUTH!

Because they kill their own future voters in their wombs so they have to import their voters and make sure they are life-long dependents aka children.

Long term, to turn USA into a one party state and new feudal system.
Short term, to loot as much as possible and feed the poverty industrial complex.

The same unapologetic left-wing weaponization of illegal immigration is occurring in Europe.

This is the answer. It's global, and it's directed from London/Brussels/Davos.

Votes.
Money (lots of aid money gets "redirected" to dem orgs).
Destruction of Western/White/Christian culture.
Import Criminals as an excuse justify total surveillance, but the real target is the White resistance.

Politicians, many of them, lust power and money more than anything else. When you make stupid policies that destroy jobs, pilfer the treasury, devalue the currency, and alienate citizens you have to have a backup position.

They realized that many Americans won’t vote for Democrats because of the above. Therefore, they decided to get somebody who will and ‘just like that’ the border was open.

Border destroyed for the voters. Dems are a forgone party and they have sold out the Country for political reasons only.

Not really. Here in CaCaLand anyone coming in and lying about being a refugee is immediately given a drivers license and simultaneously registered to vote. There is no vetting on the address to either other than making sure that the USPS lists the “parking lot” as legit. No home required.

So, there is no need of any population change since none of these illegals will even receive the mailin ballot. Anytime some TWOT like Newscum needs to push a new idea he can call up an election (e.g., Prop50) and get mailin ballots printed out.

Why destroy the border?

Well yeah, in the short run to turn the U.S. into a one party socialist state.

But in the long run, to destroy the country, a culture and western civilization.
