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...

Is this just the globalist destruction of all norms of society for both citizens and illegal immigrants?
VDH ping
Did they want new long-term constituents, given that their neo-socialist agendas cannot win over a majority of current Americans?
Is importing millions of the poorest and most in need on the planet a way to ensure a still larger Great Society of entitlements and, with it, higher taxes on the “filthy rich?”
Do they assume that America’s increasingly non-Election-Day balloting ensures far less authentication and rejection of mail-in ballots, and thus it will be relatively easy for non-citizens to vote?

“Did they want new long-term constituents, given that their neo-socialist agendas cannot win over a majority of current Americans?”
- in a word: YES
“Is importing millions of the poorest and most in need on the planet a way to ensure a still larger Great Society of entitlements and, with it, higher taxes on the “filthy rich?”
- Yes to the first part
- No to higher taxes on filthy rich who will have ‘tax exceptions’ available.
“Do they assume that America’s increasingly non-Election-Day balloting ensures far less authentication and rejection of mail-in ballots, and thus it will be relatively easy for non-citizens to vote?”
- Yes
“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?”
Wrong. It is crystal clear.
Biden hates the electorate he has, and is replacing it with guaranteed welfare voters for permanent onebbn party rule.
He’s killing democracy on purpose.
Marxism imbues a paranoia in the powerful class that they will eventually be overtaken by the underclass through an inevitable revolution.
The USSR dealt with this paranoia by sending dissenters to the gulags, and eliminating underclass leaders through dekulakization.
Modern globalists are dealing with this paranoia by deplatforming dissenters, and importing a leaderless underclass into developed societies.
It’s just absurd that they’re trying to blame this on Trump, but lots of people will believe the lies Biden is telling.
This is the money quote at the end of the commentary. The uniqueness of Trump.
“Finally, one might expect this artifice from the left that is wedded to open borders.
But why some establishment Republicans aided and abetted these disingenuous efforts is yet another reminder why the doctrinaire Republican Party had to be reinvented by Donald Trump.”
The Blue-State cities are NOT outraged. This flood is fixing demographics for the Dems. The peons can eat a carp-sandwich, as far as Dems are concerned.
If only there were a way to actually run two different Americas at the same time. Then we could afford to sit back & watch Biden’s America self-destruct.
I think you are right about why they do what they do.
Enemies domestic simpatico with INVADERRS foreign.
Has anyone else noticed that the YouTube algorithm seems to be increasing leftist propaganda lately rather than catering to interests as detected by YouTube? Instead of a lot of conservative blogs that I was previously receiving I’m seeing more anti Trump garbage. Is it because of the election? I am reluctant even to browse YouTube any longer. Or is it just me?

Yup, or to paraphrase the movie version of Edward the Longshanks, “The problem with America, is that it is full of Americans.”
Major investigation needed going back years of all these traitors and thier cohorts but who will do it? the justice system is compromised as well
