Enforcing the Law Has Become Abnormal.
The usual suspects have weighed in on recent belated efforts to enforce U.S. immigration laws.
Our now bankrupt media, the corrupt government of Mexico, and the Diversity/Equity/Inclusion apparat have damned a series of laws recently passed by the Florida legislature and signed by Governor Ron DeSantis that enforce existing federal immigration laws.
Such critics seem oblivious to the current violence that is paralyzing Europe in general, and in particular France—as if such European chaos offers no lessons for the U.S. or any other salad-bowl, open-borders Western nation.
Florida decided no longer to provide de facto and illegal exemptions to foreign nationals who entered and now reside in the state illegally.
Gov. De Santis is conveying a message to the country that not enforcing the laws, exempting those who break them, or treating foreign nationals as if they had a birthright to enter the U.S. illegally, does not even win gratitude from those who violate U.S. law.
Such American magnanimity is seen, and rightly so, by illegal immigrants and the government who sends them here, as Western spiritual decadence. Thus illegal immigration is to be unapologetically leveraged and forever manipulated—and rarely to be reciprocated with any appreciation.
The Mexican government was not only more fearful of destroying the U.S. border during the Trump years; it oddly also gave the hated Trump more respect than it had shown either the supposedly messianic Barack Obama or compliant Joe Biden.
Indeed, the more Mexico praised and manipulated Obama and Biden, the more contempt it showed the U.S. Paradoxically, the more Mexico denounced Trump, the more it conceded to Trump that it must begin to cease its export of multimillions of its own citizens.
No one is now arguing that Florida is breaking any laws by enforcing them.

Those who want to allow the illegal immigration really do hate our country.

“as if they had a birthright to enter the U.S. illegally”
Invasion is a civil right but only if you’re a non-white
Again, the outrage is instead over the state’s legal adherence to the law.
No one privately believes the illegal aliens affected by the new enforcement are euphemistically merely “undocumented migrants.”
The non-West sees a richer, more leisured, and more relativist West as something akin to H.G. Wells’s posthuman Elois—strangely effete creatures who coast on the fumes of a distant past that once bequeathed to them their present wealth and leisure. Yet these perceived unworthy inheritors of the work of prior generations are seen as hardly deserving of respect. Indeed, they rightfully earn from illegal immigrants even greater contempt for not defending what they enjoy.
Another excellent Prof Hanson article that is well worth you time to read.

Americans need to demand that the arseholes on Capitol Hill be forbidden to pass any laws until they pledge to start enforcing them. The big deal from the far-left turd rollers right now are anti-Second Amendment gun laws. Yet, when the president’s little cowboy, Hunter, commits a felony gun violation, the far-left prosecutors and their “judge” arseholes dismiss the charge. It’s time Congress is taught that the laws their tiny brains come up with MUST APPLY TO EVERYBODY. NOT JUST THEIR POLITICAL ENEMIES.

“Those who want to allow the illegal immigration really do hate our country.”
It’s not just the country, but White people in general, as it is THEIR CULTURES getting wiped out in the Western world.
But also keep in mind that it is WHITE PEOPLE who are doing this and still defending what they’re doing. As far as I can see, the Third World types are simply taking the free ride that WHITE PEOPLE are giving them.
Quotes from the 1951 Refugee Convention:
Article 23 - Public relief
The Contracting States shall accord to refugees lawfully staying in their territory the same treatment with respect to public relief and assistance as is accorded to their nationals.
Article 17 - Wage-earning employment
....
2. In any case, restrictive measures imposed on aliens or the employment of aliens for the protection of the national labour market shall not be applied to a refugee who was already exempt from them at the date of entry into force of this Convention for the Contracting State concerned, or who fulfils one of the following conditions:
(a) He has completed three years’ residence in the country;
....
(c) He has one or more children possessing the nationality of the country of residence.
Article 34 - Naturalization [and getting the right to vote]
The Contracting States shall as far as possible facilitate the assimilation and naturalization of refugees. They shall in particular make every effort to expedite naturalization proceedings and to reduce as far as possible the charges and costs of such proceedings.

Article 44 - Denunciation [getting out from under the Refugee Convention]
1. Any Contracting State may denounce this Convention at any time by a notification addressed to the Secretary-General of the United Nations.
2. Such denunciation shall take effect for the Contracting State concerned one year from the date upon which it is received by the Secretary-General of the United Nations....
NOTE: I do not trust any politician to end leftist migrant mercenary-based political takeovers who has not called for invoking Article 44 to get the US out from under the Refugee Convention.
And my distrust extends to Trump and DeSantis.
The Refugee Convention must be removed from the Democratic Party toolbox by invoking Article 44.
Absolutely true. Whites are not the victims of white hatred they are the perpetrators. They wallow in an orgy of self loathing and can't seem to do enough to debase and flagellate themselves to atone for imagined past sins.
By far the worst enemy of the white race are self-loathing, guilt ridden whites.
They don't want to be seen as intolerant. But I see wholesale tolerance as a form of sloth.
And ... "Sloth is more than a laziness of mind and body. It is the total poisoning of the will until we get to a place where we acquiesce to evil and error in the name of tolerance..." Dorothy Sayer

Since the concept of “illegal immigrant” never existed til the 1920s it would be challenging to see how it is involved in western culture, in western history, in Biblical history of canaan.
