How Did They Think Open Borders Would End? Cleaning up decades of lawlessness is never easy.
Commonplace ^ | 12 Feb, 2026 | Ann Coulter

Could Democrats and the media tell us their plan to get rid of the 10 million illegal immigrants President Biden let in? Because I’m getting the sense that they don’t have one. In fact, I’m pretty sure they don’t want anyone deported, ever, for any reason.

Notwithstanding the obligatory throat-clearing, of course, I support a secure border, their behavior proves they don’t.

The Biden administration did everything in its power to get more than 10 million “Undocumented Persons” to come here—setting up an app so illegal immigrants could actually schedule their illegal crossings, then rewarding them at the border with free hotel rooms, showers, hot meals, medical checkups, $400 debit cards (laundered through the United Nations), and transportation to the American city of their choice. Were these illegal aliens or winners on the dating game?

Democratic governors and mayors also encourage illegal immigrants to come with free housing, meals, health care, child care, diapers, healthy snacks, baby formula, drivers’ licenses, mental health counseling, etc., etc.

The de rigueur line about of course, I support a secure border, would be like Captain Ahab saying, of course, I don’t really care about the whale.

For their part, the media canonize liberal agitators, who swarm ICE agents, throw iced water bottles at them, vandalize their vehicles, and try to provoke officers into an aggressive response that can be endlessly replayed, out of context, amid commentators’ theatrical expressions of horror.

While this is consistent with liberals’ hatred of the police, it is wildly inconsistent with their admiration of President Dwight D. Eisenhower for deploying the military to squelch Democratic governors who thought they could defy federal law. It is also contrary to the New York Times‘ blindingly clear editorial opinion that when the federal government is deporting non-citizens, Americans have “no business blocking” them, and “elected leaders ... refusing to aid federal authorities [is] insupportable.” (That was about the Clinton administration’s campaign to send little Elian Gonzalez back to a communist dictatorship.)

Luckily for the Times, it’s been a while since the federal government has made any effort to enforce immigration law.

On CNN recently, Oklahoma City’s Republican mayor, David Holt, made the amazingly stupid point that, “we have enforced immigration law in this country for over a century and ICE has existed for over two decades and we have never seen this type of chaos in the streets of our cities.”

I can only assume that Holt was snookered for the entirety of the Biden administration. Also since he was born. No, mayor, we have not been enforcing immigration law in this country for “over a century.” For quite some time now, no one seems to have noticed that we have immigration laws.

The chaos we’re seeing surrounding immigration enforcement today is the inevitable consequence when the federal government finally puts an end to decades of open-border lawlessness that intransigent opponents want to extend.

Americans who simply want their government to follow the law are up against the media, the entire Democratic Party, half of the Republican Party, and half of the other half who say they want to enforce immigration law.

At the moment, we’re being bombarded with polls warning Republicans that the American people have changed their minds and decided they want less immigration enforcement. (The media’s concern for the electoral fortunes of the GOP is touching.)......SNIP

The democRATs have been planning for this for a long time. The National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (Motor Voter) was the opening move. Next came with states dropping requirements for ID and proving proof of US citizenship to vote in national elections. Next was the illegal immigrant invasion that skyrocketed under Biden.

The democRATs have worked for years and they are not going to lose ground without a huge fight. If the illegal immigrants were prevented from voting with ID checks and if they were not counted in the Census then the democRATs would not care about them anymore.

Yes, this has always been about creating a permanent voting majority.

Hell, they openly admitted it on occasion.

It’s not just about voters. Let’s admit what everyone knows but no one wants to say. It’s about changing the racial demographics of the country.

This is the left's new Big Lie.

ICE existed as the Immigration and Naturalization Service, or INS. It had a name change to ICE in 2002 after the Elian Gonzalez fiasco under Bill Clinton.

To affect the change, the INS was reformed into the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

So don't fall for the liberal spin that ICE is something new that didn't exist 25 years ago.

Maybe so, but like a broken clock she’s totally right at least twice a day, and if we’re lucky she’s writing at that moment.

I thought she was a total windsock like Candace Owens until seeing the very real hatred poured upon her when she was a participant at a Comedy Central roast show. Coulter earned a little respect from me for getting leftists so enraged.

And keeping her cool when those jerks did not.

It started 30 years earlier.

The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, also known as the Hart-Celler Act, was a significant piece of legislation that transformed U.S. immigration policy. Signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson on October 3, 1965, it abolished the National Origins Formula, which had favored immigrants from Northern and Western Europe while discriminating against those from Southern and Eastern Europe, Asia, and Africa.

The Act eliminated the quota system that had been in place since the 1920s.
It aimed to create a more equitable immigration process based on skills and family relationships rather than national origin.

It introduced a seven-category preference system prioritizing:
* Family reunification (relatives of U.S. citizens and permanent residents)
* Professionals and individuals with specialized skills
* Refugees

It set a limit of 120,000 immigrants per year from the Western Hemisphere for the first time and established a more balanced approach to immigration from various regions.

The 1965 Act significantly changed the demographic landscape of the United States. Before its enactment, the population was predominantly non-Hispanic white. Since then, the share of Hispanic and Asian American populations has increased dramatically, leading to projections that by 2043, the U.S. will become a “majority minority” nation.

At the moment, we’re being bombarded with polls warning Republicans that the American people have changed their minds and decided they want less immigration enforcement. (The media’s concern for the electoral fortunes of the GOP is touching. Notably, these polls were taken in the immediate aftermath of Alex Pretti being fatally shot by two border patrol agents, and before the video of him spitting and screaming at ICE agents emerged (in obscure, alternative media). In fact, the numbers simply match the decline in President Trump’s overall approval ratings. Presidents’ approval ratings almost always decline in the first two years of their second terms in office. Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, and George W. Bush’s did—even Barack Obama’s did.

bump to the top

The Dems thought 30,000,000 illegal aliens fraudulently voting would cement Socialist rule forever.

That was the end-game.

We are not out of the woods yet!

All that crap floated into our homes without even the slightest thought of ever going home again except for the holidays, family reunions, funerals, graduations, the Annual Drug Cartel Ball, local gang initiations and to pick up “cousins” to come back to America to live with them.
