Since early 2021 we have witnessed somewhere between 7 and 8 million illegal entries across the now nonexistent U.S. southern border.
The more the border vanished, the more federal immigration law was rendered inert, and the more Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas spun fantasies that the “border is secure.” He is now written off as a veritable “Baghdad Bob” propagandist.
But how and why did the Biden administration destroy immigration law as we knew it?
The Trump administration’s initial efforts to close the border had been continually obstructed in the Congress, sabotaged by the administrative state, and stymied in the courts. Nonetheless, it had finally secured the border by early 2020.
Yet almost all its successful initiatives were immediately overturned in 2021.
The wall was abruptly stopped, its projected trajectory cancelled. The Obama-era disastrous “catch-and release” policy of immigration non-enforcement was resurrected.
Prior successful pressure on Mexico’s President Andrés Obrador to stop the deliberate export of his own citizens northward ceased.
Federal border patrol officers were forced to stand down.
New federal subsidies were granted to entice and then support illegal arrivals.
No one in the Democratic Party objected to the destruction of the border or the subversion of immigration law.
However, things changed somewhat once swamped southern border states began to bus or fly a few thousand of their illegal immigrants northward to sanctuary city jurisdictions—especially to New York, Chicago, and even Martha’s Vineyard.
The sanctuary-city “humanists” there who had greenlighted illegal immigration into the southern states suddenly shrieked. They were irate after experiencing the concrete consequences of their own prior abstract border agendas. After all, their nihilism was always supposed to fall upon distant and ridiculed others.
New York mayor Eric Adams went from celebrating a few dozen illegal immigrants bused into Manhattan, to blasting his own party

Friggin’ Biden should be in prison. Time for the GOOBers to wake up and do something about this catastrophe. This government has stuck it to the American people while the majority of us are up at Yellowstone chasing the buffalo.
Polls continue to show that the American people support measured, diverse, legal, and meritocratic immigration as much as they oppose mass illegal immigration into their country and the subsequent loss of American sovereignty on the border.
They understand what the Biden administration does not: no nation is history has survived once its borders were destroyed, once its citizenship was rendered no different from mere residence, and once its neighbors with impunity undermined its sovereignty.
Ending illegal immigration now depends solely on the American people overriding the corrupt special interests and leaders who profit from the current chaos and human misery.

Craphole countries don’t protect their borders.

I’ll just say this: Western Civilization depends on growth both in our economy and our population. When your population decides to stop having enough children to replace itself, as has happened in japan, you got to get bodies from somewhere. The answer for the United States is to just open the borders and just pretend you’re trying to close them. They need the bodies. They need the economy to grow or collapses.
Obviously this is just my opinion, but I think it’s a valid explanation and it also explains why Europe was allowing all those “ Middle Eastern refugees” to come in and settle in their countries even though it wreaked havoc on their culture. The more elite members that make those decisions live in gated communities so it’s not as much of a threat to them.
They are coming by the millions. This is all day, every day in Panama’s Darien Gap. From anywhere in the world you can fly to South America with no visa. Then it’s just bus after bus to Your Town USA, with a little jungle romp in Panama, shown here.
The UN and NGOs pay for the plane and bus tickets with “free cash” EBT cards.

You’re being invaded. By the thousands. The tens of thousands. Hundreds of thousands. Millions. Question is, what are you going to do about it?

People who are illiterate in their own languages, who do not even speak English or Spanish, who have no education, are a net drag on an economy FOREVER.
You think with just a little nudge they’re going to become certified electricians and RNs?
Stop living in fantasy land.
Since there are officially 11 million illegals here, there must only have been only 3 million pre-Biden. /S
“ Mexico now cannot survive as a modern state without some $60 billion in annual remittances sent by its expatriates in America. But many illegal immigrants rely on American state and federal entitlements to free up cash to send home.”
These “remittances” should be taxed at 50%. Want to send $1,000 back to Guatemala? Fine. That’ll cost you $500.

1,000 ACLU etc Lawfare Lawyers are ready to pounce upon anybody who tries to defend America in this way.
“These “remittances” should be taxed at 50%. Want to send $1,000 back to Guatemala? Fine. That’ll cost you $500.”
And that money could go back to the taxpayers to repay the “freebies” given to these illegals. In a sane and logical world, this would be one solution to the Cloward-Pivening of America. Alas... we’re not there and never will be under the current Marxist control.
THIS HAS TO STOP. Sue the govt. Can private citizens/militia) be stationed at the TX border? Can towns/cities arrest/deport illegal aliens?
THIS IS NOT GOING TO END WELL - one way or another!!!!
“Our Democrat/GOPe Induced Catastrophe at the Border”
“ 1,000 ACLU etc Lawfare Lawyers are ready to pounce upon anybody who tries to defend America in this way.”
Let ‘em. This is well within Congressional authority to tax at whatever level they want. The Courts won’t go near it.
Some fights are worth having.

Since early 2021 we have witnessed somewhere between 7 and 8 million acts of treason by ChiComjoe and his civilian and military kakistocracy.
