It is beyond obvious that Democrat policy is designed to flood America with millions of new residents no matter who they are or how they get here. One can debate why the Biden administration wants to enable and promote such widespread disregard for immigration laws and safe borders, but the fact that it is the result of WILLFUL policy is beyond refutation. No level of incompetence or stupidity can explain the unresolved crisis at the southern border.
One has to understand the progression of this policy. Step one was to allow unlimited numbers of people to cross the border illegally – and to remain in America under the false premise that they are legitimate refugees seeking asylum. According to the records, more than 85 percent of the illegal border crossers are ineligible for asylum under American law – and therefore ineligible for permanent residency or citizenship.
Democrats want the illegal border crossers to remain in America since that would enhance the chance that they will matriculate to citizenship, according to Democrat proposals. It is why Biden reversed 90 of President Trump’s border security Executive Orders … why he stopped the building of the wall, even those portions already paid for with the wall sections rusting on the ground … why he ended the Title 42 program that restricted the flow of illegal border crossers … and why he ended the agreement to hold migrants in Mexico until vetted.
A path to citizenship is an integral part of the Democrat program. Which may give evidence of the motivation behind the open border policy. It is widely assumed that the migrants will overwhelmingly vote Democrat if given the opportunity. (Personally, I am not convinced that the Democrats’ assumption will be the case.)
Step two of the Democrat strategy is to increase the flow of migrants to the southern border with a broad range of incentives – that have been increasing over time. Democrats have created sanctuary cites to protect illegal aliens from law enforcement. In addition, Democrats are providing an increasing number of advantages and benefits – including jobs, housing, general welfare, driver licenses, schooling, limited voting rights (more evidence of motivation?) and even cash.
The incentives to enter America across the southern border are so strong that it has not only attracted Mexicans (the initial border crosses) and Central and South Americans (the second wave) but has resulted in hundreds of thousands of people from more than 150 nations – some of which are from nations banned or severely limited from immigration into the United States. Some are terrorist nations – and some of the migrants are on the Terrorist Watch List.
Step three is to undermine the entire LEGAL immigration process by providing Temporary Legal Status (TLS) to categories of illegal border crossers.
We have heard many times that the Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio are here illegally – implying that they have come through the legal process. Au contraire. They crossed the border illegally, but Biden has used (abused) presidential power to grant them Temporary Legal Status. Technically they are now here legally but are not any more vetted or processed than any other person illegally crossing the border and being shuttled to communities throughout America.
The Biden administration has granted legal refugee status to Afghans fleeing that nation after Biden’s ill-advised and botched surrender to the Taliban. One of them was recently arrested for planning a major terrorist attack on Election Day.
Biden has given legal status to Venezuelans fleeing their strongman dictatorship, including members of the violent Tren de Aragua gang that is terrorizing communities across the nation. And now he has granted such legal status to Lebanese – a nation controlled by Hezbollah terrorists.
As if the abuse of the TLS program is not enough, we have the DED program – the Deferred Enforcement Departure program. That applies to folks who should be deported but are not. That has been used for certain Palestinians, Liberians and others. As of March, of this year, more than a million individuals have been included in the TPS and DED programs.
The facts are simple. We are allowing too many people to enter the country — more than we can accommodate. Most of them are not qualified for asylum. They are inadequately vetted, if at all. Among the millions of Illegal border crossers are hundreds of thousands – perhaps millions – or undesirables who are committing crimes of every sort. (For the pathetic partisans and clueless attack dogs, “undesirables” is not a racist dog whistle, but the traditional immigration language that applies to folks of all backgrounds who are not suitable to be allowed into the United States.)
What President Biden has undertaken is nothing less than a violation of his constitutional oath to protect and defend the United States from external adversaries. His immigration policy has inflicted grave damage on the United States – which will take decades to repair, even if we start now.
So, there ‘tis.
