Victor Davis Hanson: The Absurd Democrat Border Con
American Greatness ^ | Victor Davis Hanson

Posted on 02/08/2024 4:16:47 AM PST by MtnClimber

It remains unclear why Biden and Homeland Security Chief Alejandro Mayorkas destroyed what Trump had achieved. Why would they ensure such misery for both Americans and millions of illegal migrants?

In 2021, Joe Biden opened wide an inherited, secure southern border that had finally stopped mass illegal immigration.

When he overturned Donald Trump’s efforts, a planned flood of over 8 million illegal immigrants entered the U.S.

Almost all arrived without background checks, health screening, or vaccination certificates—but with massive needs for free housing, education, healthcare, and food entitlements and subsidies.

For four years, Donald Trump battled the courts, his Democratic opposition, and the open-border establishments within his own party to ensure legal-only immigration. Somehow, he rebuilt some of the old porous border fence. He had begun to build his long-promised new wall to the Gulf of Mexico. He had ended Obama-era catch-and-release.

Would-be refugees had to apply for asylum in their home country. Trump leveraged Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador to police his own border and stop cynically transiting millions of illegal aliens into the U.S.

There was general Democratic Party opposition to all of Trump’s measures, both through Congress and via the courts.

For the last three years of Biden’s mass influx, the left has applauded open borders. That is, until late last year, when overwhelmed southern border state governors began busing and flying illegal immigrants en masse to northern sanctuary-city jurisdictions.

For years, these sanctuary zones had preened their liberality about open borders. They smeared as “racists” and “xenophobes” any who insisted on legal-only immigration.

But now they were subject to the real-life ramifications of their own destructive ideologies.

Major blue-state cities like Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C., became outraged that they were inundated with tens of thousands of immigrants, all without legality...

More to the point, this is the destruction of loyalty to the US Constitution.
These invaders are coming for the freebies, not to become American citizens.
Once implanted into the government brainwashing factories, the kids will become Obama’s civilian army, as well funded as our military.
A huge generational change is just around the corner.

Probably just you. Nobody on the right should be using that platform anyway, why feed the ones who hate you when there’s options…unless?

Click on this demographics map of Los Angeles.
https://bestneighborhood.org/race-in-los-angeles-county-ca/
It shows that Los Angeles is almost entirely Hispanic with a growing Asian population.
Other tabs on the map show that they are uneducated, poor, renters and single parent families.
Another tab shows that the entire city is blue, liberal.
You can zoom out to see the rest of the country.
Compare the maps of Race and Politics. They are nearly the same map.
The entire lower part of our country has been invaded by Hispanics.

Only 7 states have a higher population than Los Angeles County.
1 California 37,253,956
2 Texas 25,145,561
3 New York 19,378,102
4 Florida 18,801,310
5 Illinois 12,830,632
6 Pennsylvania 12,702,379
7 Ohio 11,536,504

Los Angeles County 10,120,000

Environmental Social Governance (ESG) and Diversity Equity Inclusion (DEI) are used to keep white men from being hired, promoted and receiving contracts. It’s written into law that California’s High Speed Rail will guarantee that 12 percent of the contracts will not go to companies owned by white men.

They tear down our historical monuments and call us Colonialists.
In 2020, naturalized citizens made up one in ten U.S. voters.

California has a Disadvantaged Communities Map that closely matches the immigration map.

California’s SB535 is our Sustainable Living, Agenda 2030 law.

It's the end game, and the RATS know how to play it. In a few years the ILLEGALS will be U.S. citizens and their spawn will be U.S. citizens. They will be given the ole carrot and stick game that has been used on the blacks for decades. And it will work.

America had a good run, but it's just about over.

“It remains unclear why Biden and Homeland Security Chief Alejandro Mayorkas destroyed what Trump had achieved.”
—————
No, it doesn’t. It has been increasingly clear, especially since 2020’s Steal, that the Democrats hunger for power at any price, and that as part of ensuring that they keep it they are in the process of replacing the previous electorate that doesn’t vote in sufficient numbers for them to guarantee their lock on power. The 1965 Immigration Act was the first step in this process, the 1986 Amnesty the next, and the vociferous opposition to Trump building the wall and getting control over our border the next. Now we have Dems openly talking about and advocating for another amnesty that includes a path to citizenship.

No, there’s no mystery as to what is going on, it is crystal clear: our Republic is in the process of being stolen by a political party that hungers for a tyranny that they control.

The Democrats expect the illegal immigrants to vote virtually 100% for the Democrats in the future (whether they have become citizens or not), and their goal is to reduce the white non-Hispanic share of the total population below 50%.

Excellent article. Thanks for posting.

Democrats are so wrong on so many issues. It’s so bad that if Democrats support something, you can assume that it’s wrong. Their best case, by far, is aid to the Ukraine. Even here, one must assume they are wrong.

It is a real-world embodiment of a theoretical proposition from a class in logic. The person (or party) that is always wrong points the way to truth.

“ Shameless Democrats tried to enlist naïve and foolish Republicans to bail them out with a “comprehensive immigration bill.”

It was really designed to keep the border open while spending billions of dollars to facilitate more rapid and orderly transits—and more substantial welfare support for millions of illegals here and still to come.”

It was complete FRAUD

"Is this just the globalist destruction of all norms of society for both citizens and illegal immigrants?"
Establish a fedral law that any illegal that breaks a federal or local law is subject to public hanging. Hang a few, and you will soon see an end of this invasion.
