<p>One of the issues that transitioned Trump from former President to President-elect was the abject and obvious failure of the Biden/Harris administration – and the Democratic Party, in general – to secure America’s southern border.</p>



<p>Not only did he not close the border, but Biden reversed a slew of Trump’s Executive Orders that tightened the border. Biden literally made the border more open than ever. Polices to provide education, welfare and many of the rights of citizenship to illegal aliens created a greater incentive for millions of migrants to enter the United States illegally. For his entire term of office, Biden promoted open border policies, resulting in record numbers of illegal border crossers.</p>



<p>What ensued was a multi-faceted national crisis of crime &#8230; drug addiction &#8230; ; and the overwhelming of social welfare systems. ; It created an understandable anger among American citizens who were victimized by the crime and drug abuse &#8230; forced to subsidize the migrants with tax dollars &#8230;  ;provide jobs &#8230; and surrender much needed housing, schools, parks and recreation centers to large groups of migrants.</p>



<p>While crime and drugs have been major subtexts of the Democrats’ open border policies, we need to keep in mind that more than 80 percent of those entering the United States illegally ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR ASYLUM. ; And even when courts order people to be deported, the Biden administration has not done it.</p>



<p>Every election poll showed the Biden/Harris team – and the entire Democratic Parry – to be in disfavor with the vast majority of voters over the obvious open borders &#8212; and the ensuing crisis. ; Claims by Biden, Harris and Director of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas that the borders were NOT open was incredulous to a public that saw reality with their own eyes – or felt the harsh reality of victimization.</p>



<p>The American people have now elected a President with a plan to again shut down the border and deport the undesirables (criminals), those who have been ordered to be deported by immigration judges, and those who are in illegal status by not appearing for their asylum hearings. ; Trump is also calling for asylum seekers to remain in Mexico pending their hearing. ; Presumably, he will resume building the wall.</p>



<p>Having had their ass kicked (referring to the Democratic Party symbol, of course), one would think that Democrat leaders would reconsider their unpopular and harmful open border policies – and they&#8217;re protecting even the worst of the migrants from justice and deportation. But noooooo. They are doubling down.</p>



<p>Even as a lame duck President, Biden is still encouraging illegal border crossing. ; He has recently waived the requirement that migrants check in with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) when they arrive in new locations.</p>



<p>Illinois Governor J. B. Pritzker has organized a group of left-wing Democrat governors to push back against Trump’s deportation plans. ; Among the policies being considered or already implemented are expanding the sanctuary city programs and refusal to cooperate with ICE. Progressive district attorneys as insulating migrants from prosecution. They are proposing increased welfare assistance. ; The city council of Los Angeles has recently passed a sanctuary city law even as Trump has announced his plans to eliminate them.</p>



<p>All the efforts to maintain open borders and protect illegal aliens from prosecution and deportation have proven themselves to be dangerous public policy. ; They also have been proven to be disastrous politically – as witnessed in the recent election. ; Of all the things Trump is proposing, his immigration policies are the most understood and most supported by the vast majority of the American people.</p>



<p>The Democrats plan to flood the United States with illegal immigrants – for whatever reason &#8212; has become a political third rail. It is such bad policy – and so unpopular – that it is incomprehensible why Democrats would double down on their open border policy.</p>



<p>According to legend, the ancient Greek playwright Euripides wrote &#8220;Those whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad.&#8221; Maybe that explains why Democrats keep pursuing insane policies that have led to the recent loss – and will most certainly damage their future prospects. They have simply gone mad.</p>



<p>So, there ‘tis.</p>

Democrats double down on open borders.WHAT ARE THEY THINKING?
