The Left's Big Plan
We've been telling you about all the things the Biden Administration is saying that are encouraging illegal immigrants to head to the border. White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki did it again yesterday.
She was confronted by a reporter who asked if there was a limit to the number of children showing up at the border that we would take in. Psaki's answer was essentially, "No." She said:
"We are taking steps to ensure that when kids come to the border, we look and see if they have a phone number in their pocket so we can call the family member [in the U.S.] and get them to those family members as quickly as possible. Our policy continues to be, we are not going to send a 10-year-old back across the border."
So, there you have it -- yet another huge green light for migrants to quickly rush their children to the border.
Once that illegal migrant child is in Omaha, Nebraska, the legal process to bring in their parents is set in motion because the child is the "legal" anchor to bring in other family members.
By the way, President Biden conceded the other day that most of these "children" showing up at the border are not young kids. They are in fact 16 and 17-year-olds. Even worse, some are adults claiming they are 17.
Biden's election and his executive orders repealing President Trump's border security policies predictably created a crisis at the border. And now we're all arguing about the word "crisis." But we're not even talking about the same thing.
To conservatives, who believe that border security is national security, the crisis is that hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens are pouring into our country, largely unvetted. The crisis is that our borders are not secure, and are, effectively, meaningless.
But many on our side seem to be falling into the trap of thinking that Biden stupidly made an error when he repealed Trump policies, and is compounding it by using the wrong rhetoric.
My friends, this was not an error. Biden and the progressives know exactly what they are doing. They know exactly what they are doing when they say things like Psaki said yesterday. None of that is a crisis to the left. It is their intended public policy.
Many progressives proudly proclaim that "demography is destiny," and they want to demographically transform the United States. By doing so, they can politically flip state after state, as we have seen in Arizona, Georgia, North Carolina and now even in Texas.
That's not a crisis for the left. Massive immigration into the country, whether legal or illegal, is the goal. Again, you don't have to take my word for it.
That's the whole reason the left is all in for open borders policies. That's the reason why so many liberals want to decriminalize illegal entry. That's the reason why so many liberals want to abolish ICE. That's why so many progressives are eager to offer healthcare to illegal aliens.
And that's why Speaker Nancy Pelosi is ramming through two amnesty bills in the House of Representatives today.
The Left's PR Crisis
The crisis for the left is that none of this is popular with the American people, but it is happening so rapidly that the average American is noticing it. In other words, for the left this is merely a public relations crisis that needs to be quickly contained.
But make no mistake about it: Joe Biden and other administration officials are not incompetent. They're not saying, "Don't come now so we can build more border wall and hire more Border Patrol agents." They're saying, "Don't come now because we can't welcome you and process you fast enough."
The only unintended consequence is that the illegal immigration is happening too fast and is too obvious.
The bottom line is that progressives are putting the demands of non-citizens and their political self-interest ahead of the American people. They are bringing in massive numbers of people who will compete for American jobs and burden taxpayers, all with the goal of securing political power.
