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

They are not here to produce. They are here to consume. Welfare money comes from taxes. Everything we do is taxed. You earn money from your employer and it’s taxed. you use that money to buy a house, buy food, buy stuff, hire a gardener, etc. All of those things are taxed. And the entities that receive your money are taxed.
Those taxes go to government employees, who are taxed. They also go to government programs, which hire people, which are taxed.
And much of those taxes go to welfare type programs and given to people and organizations for “free”. And that money passes through those people to entities like McDonalds and Walmart and Ford. And those transactions are taxed.
It all builds the economy. A key component of the economy is the consumer of goods. It appears the government is happy to hand out free money to the “poor” so they can become consumers and do their part to drive the engine of the economy.
This all works out great except it’s a bit like burning the furniture and the studs in the walls to keep the house warm. It’s eating itself and eventually more and more people notice there is nowhere to sit and it’s getting really drafty. I think that is where we are now.
But how and why did the Biden administration destroy immigration law as we knew it?
The democrats have the senate and WH and lead the swamp people all other authorities are frozen.
It’s going to take elections for Republican in the WH senate and congress to clean up this chaos no other way out of it.
NY MY calculations——More like 75 million....and increasing every day.
Western Union locations should have been monitored & raided years ago.
At least Baghdad Bob' was doing what he thought was best for his country. When Alejandro Mayorkas lies it's NOT to help the United States it's to help the people who are doing the real insurrection. Watch the pride in his demeaner and voice when he knows honest men are helpless against his lies. We need an 'intelligence' group that not corrupt to help sort this out - rather than one that might be in on the insurrection.

Watch the pride in his demeanor and voice when he knows honest men are helpless against his lies. It's ugly and his hatred and contempt for all of us seeps out of his pores. What a disgusting person. How did he get this job? Who backed him all this time? We need an 'intelligence' group that not corrupt to help sort this out - rather than one that might be in on the insurrection.
Biden’s open borders will soon be bringing the four horsemen of the apocalypse. Death from fentanyl streaming across our open border. Pestilence like TB and other third world endemic diseases. Famine from nonproductive mouths for us to feed. War from the terrorists and Chinese infiltrators. Conquest as these hoards will wipe out our Republic. I am so reminded of Jean Raspail’s novel Camp of the Saints.
That includes their stuttering, mumbling token black, Sowell.
I like Victor Davis Hanson, but it is not “our” self-induced catastrophe, it is Bidnen’s, or most importantly, the Democrats premeditated menufactured catastrophe. “We” had nothing to do with it.
Now then why did they do it?
You find the answer in what you hear in the responses from the most Left-leaning members of Congress when asked about the problem. What is their answer? Their answer is the problem is due to a “lack of comprehensive immigration reform”. And it was for the purpose of acting as wedge to get the Left’s version of “comprehensive immigration reform” that the crisis was manufactured. Obama practiced their formula - never let a crisis go to waste and sometimes you need to create a crisis to get a “solution” you want.
Yep, an orchestrated crisis.
In my opinion, the law passed by congress which requires a hearing for all illegal invaders is unconstitutional, because it requires something which is impossible. While 10 million illegal border jumpers are supposedly waiting for a hearing, 20 million more are coming. Such a radical change should at least should be a Constitutional amendment.
With our free and fair elections integrity destroyed I have exactly zero hope for the survival of the USA.
We are destroyed already. Best be right with Jesus about now, the only hope there is, but what a hope!
Great point ding dong...
Oh, yeah? It’ll be interesting to see your resume at 93, and how well you are thinking and speaking.
The Democrats don’t care, they see these illegals as new voters. They only take notice when there are direct problems that they have to confront.
What’s your problem with Dr Sowell exactly?
