Some 8 to 10 million illegal aliens from all over the world, as expected, have flooded across the border since President Joe Biden took office.
A demagogic candidate Biden, remember, in 2019 invited those massing at the southern border to “surge” into the United States without specifying that they first needed legal sanction: “We immediately surge to the border all those seeking asylum.”
In contrast, we know legal immigration is America’s great strength, but it has always depended on a few key prerequisites.
Immigration must be legal and measured.
Why? Because only the host nation can adjudicate how many immigrants it can successfully accept and assimilate. It has no desire to encourage Balkanized tribalism so common in nations abroad torn apart by ethnic conflict.
America must have some knowledge of the background of immigrants, especially whether they have criminal records, belong to gangs, are importing drugs, carry infectious diseases, or can be self-supporting.
By contrast, if the first thing immigrants do is illegally cross the American border, and the second is to reside illegally in America, and the third is to obtain fraudulent identification to mask that illegality, then they will establish long patterns of illegal behavior and disrespect for their hosts.
In addition, immigration should be diverse so that large ethnic groups do not form permanent tribal sects in the fashion of the Balkans, the Middle East, or Latin America.
Ideally, the host should prefer immigrants who have some knowledge of the language and customs of the United States. And they should have some ability to be self-supporting so as not to burden American taxpayers or overtax and deprive social services from poorer U.S. citizens.
As for the host?
America must be confident enough in and knowledgeable enough about its values, customs, and traditions to demand immigrants integrate rapidly into the body politic of the United States.
Both the host and immigrants must agree on the basic facts of immigration.
Immigrants, not the host, have chosen to leave their native land to risk a new life and identity in America.
Therefore, the relationship is, by nature, asymmetrical. The host has a perfect right, indeed a responsibility, to impose its own values upon newcomers — not vice versa.
Otherwise, if immigrants do not absorb their newly adopted culture, why would they have left and, in some sense, rejected their homeland in the first place?
To replicate in the United States the very conditions and environment that they so eagerly fled from back home?
So the host must remind immigrants that they chose a completely different paradigm from their native country. And therefore, they must be helped to embrace an entirely new national identity.
Unfortunately, in the last four years, the Biden administration has violated every historical canon critical to ensuring legal immigration enriches the United States.
They have encouraged 8-10 million of the world’s poorest to flood the border and to enter and reside in America without legal sanction.
Most have no prior experience with American traditions, and few speak English.
Host Americans have no idea whether hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of the millions entering illegally have committed crimes in their native countries, or have any record of employment, or are sick, or are here to foment gangs and to import lethal, foreign-made drugs that kill some 100,000 Americans a year.
Worse, we, the hosts, no longer believe in the melting pot that once made America the world’s only successful multiracial democracy, united by the laws of the Constitution and the unique values that emanate from it.
The combination of mass illegal immigration, without audit, into a country beset with $35 trillion in national debt, an existing 50 million residents not born in the United States, and without confidence in rapid assimilation certainly explains the disaster of illegal immigration that now manifests daily.
Biden may think nullifying federal immigration law is a smart political trick that, in the past, may have flipped southwestern states from red to blue or warped the census to give blue states more congressional districts.
Or he may assume that with 70 percent of the electorate now voting through poorly audited mail-in balloting, there is no real way to prevent foreign nationals from voting for those who neutered the law to let them in.
But in truth, Biden is unfortunately undermining support for all immigration, legal or otherwise. He is guaranteeing that more imported drugs and gang members will kill more Americans.
Ironically, Biden is also alienating from the Democratic Party its once loyal Black and Latino voters. They, not the party elite, must deal concretely with the consequences of Biden’s callous and cynical, ideologically driven policies.
Perhaps the Left will only cease destroying immigration law when it realizes that for each illegal alien it invites in, it will lose one or more once loyal Democratic voters.
“Host Americans have no idea whether hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of the millions entering illegally have committed crimes in their native countries”
Well, things may be changing considering the reaction to the of Laken Riley.
Let’s use her murder as a sort of bell weather for the behavior of the those “loveable” little brown people that the Left has for them, who are “just coming here for a better life” Because nothing says a better life than Leonel Moreno, the Venezuelan who says he doesn’t need to work. He just scams welfare $$$s from the feds and encourages people like him to squat in homes.
Murder, rape, thievery, mayhem, gaming of the system seem to be the values that cut across the various nationalities, including our home grown ghetto dwellers. And all of it enabled by the Democrats.
In November vote as if your life and the country depend on it.
Trump ’24 MAGA
Democrat’s laugh at black loyalty to the party, top black democrat’s laugh at black loyalty to the party.
We all laugh at black loyalty to the party.
Its the kind of laughter that is followed by the question, how retarded can black people be?
As retarded as suburban soccer moms and 90% of Hollywood.
Here’s an idea for our feckless republican congress. Instead of going after Biden for his money grabbing deals with
the Chinese-hit him for what hes doing to the CITIZENS OF THE U. S. A.! Thank you Mr Hanson for your detailed
Border Crisis. Bidens number one job as President is to keep America Safe!!! Mr Hanson has detailed how he has not.
This is TREASON!!!
Bidens number one job as President is to keep America Safe!!!
NO NO NO NO. that is NOT his number one job. His sworn DUTY is to uphold and enforce the US Constitution and all laws enacted in accordance with that.
Of course that includes enforcing of the immigration laws and securing our international borders.. NONE of =which he has been doing. Instead he has been committing what is almost certainly high treason, wilfully putting our national security and borders at rish. Making war upon or giving aid and comfort to a foreign enemy is treason. How many known terrorists, criminals, foreign operators, have come in so far? He (nign entities bent upon doing us harm.
Republicans=reason, Vanna adds a T and you get what dems are all about, treason!
repubs are all about reason, vanna adds a T, dems are about treason.
You’re mainly referring to Republican voters, yes? The overwhelming number Repubs in Congress are RINOs. All the Dirtbagocrats are traitors, both in Congress and the voters. The ones in Congress demonstrate their treason daily and so do the voters by supporting the anti-American party of treason and evil. The party’s policies are ALL toxic for America, and they even support the Hamas subhumans.
The social systems and government largesse that have had Blacks vote for the party of Wilson and a “chicken in every pot” since the 1920s are starting to get very shaky. Welfare queens have cause for concern for sure.
New York, with their half a billion dollar fines on Trump, have come up with a novel take in making the rich pay, but,, yes, those who depend on government largesse to take care of themselves have got some stiff competition.
Likewise the criminal street gangs will have to toughen up, because the southern gangs have perfected brutality.
Chaos from millions of undocumented illegals bringing down the system and taking over the streets are going to make it very hard to be lazy. Every cloud has a silver lining, every curse, a blessing.
Maybe I am wrong and New York can house illegals for 325 a night forever. But normally in the real world, actions have consequences. Voting for open borders can’t be good for the welfare system and those who make their living off of it, not in a world with consequences at any rate.
It’s a lot easier to destroy a country from within when a significant part of the population are antisocial morons with no hope of finding a place in a post industrial world except as criminals and permanent welfare cases. I would assume that the Demorats bringing these people inside our borders also enjoying shitting in their own beds.
No, those Not In My Backyard Dirtbagocrats enjoy shitting in OUR beds.
The only thing Biden needs to know about millions of illegal immigrants is that they are virtually all new Democratic voters. Some places are already passing laws to let them vote. Others are looking to hire them as police officers, to deplete that ranks they drove out with the defund the police movement.
What better way to destroy the country?
The only thing worse would be to bring as many moslems into the country as possible.
Mexico and Central America and South America scum invade the USA with impunity.
They will not assimilate as Americans speaking the English language and and learning something about US history and government.
Rather, America will degenerate and assimilate towards their corrupt society and culture.
America and US citizens are being stabbed in the back by its own elites and political and oligarchic leaders.
The powers that be in America actually want America and its citizens to be overrun and replaced and destroyed.
What a god damned disgrace America and its political and elite leaders have become.
The current invasion is international in scope. Those invaders come from all around the world, and you’re right, the overwhelming majority of them are scum.
It must be that eating ice cream is the only thing that Joe Biden knows how to do well. In every everything else , including the US Mexican border Biden is a disaster , a possible deadly disaster.
To explain, this same subject in a different way ,the ancient Greek Philosopher, Plato, did reveal that he had wisdom when he had written, “The measure of a man is what he does with power.”
Therefore, “the measure” of Joe Biden is outright terrible, for that treacherous treasonous fiend is a calamity for the safety and security if the citizens of the United States. The results of Biden is dangerous and malicious jihadists of ISIS, al Qaeda, Hamas Hezbollah. and even Taliban jihadists entering into the United States through porous US /Mexican borders,
When people of the United States are harmed and murdered by those malice-filled jihadists , creepy old, Joe will have their blood on his vile and wicked hands.
He already does have our blood on his hands. Numersous cases where IFI (illegal foregn invaders) have harmed and even urdered Americans right here at home.
ANd don’t forget the plane loads of unknowns he is flying into ur country from who knows where, dto dump them here se WE can feed, clothe, house, cure of their communicable diseases and parasites they bring in, and support their drug habits which include making profit of trade in them.
Ice Cream Joe can’t even eat his treat well. We’ve never seen doddering dotard finish a cone and never will. Anything beyond nibbling at the top is beyond his physical capacity because Alzheimer’s dementia isn’t just mental, it’s also physical as we can see from his extreme frailty and extremely debilitated motor function.
VDH has the reasons a country that was rational would want to limit and monitor immigration. But the Left follows a completely other paradigm. It wants to import a large cohort of people who can’t speak the language, has no work skills that would benefit the U.S., and would for the foreseeable future require government assistance. This will make them devotees of the Santa Claus Party for which they will vote legally if given amnesty/citizenship or illegally in the name of those absent, deceased, or moved but who are still registered to vote. You may have noticed that AG Garland has pledged to sue states requiring photo ID to vote, didn’t you? At the least they will be counted in the census (thanks Supreme Court) and create new Rem Congressional districts, which also influences the vote of the Electoral College. For the Left, this insane uncontrolled immigration is the path to eternal political power, which is the only thing they care about.
Is there any other reason to allow this? Perhaps cheap labor may be a part of it but, working or not, they will eventually get to vote and they will vote Democrat. If the Surrender Monkey Party (R) ever gets back in power they should make it illegal for any of these invaders to vote in perpetuity.
Biden has no care or concern for the American Patriot or Citizen. He and his party represent the Marxist Socialist Democrat wing of America. He cares for them only as much as he cares for their votes. If it means ruining more cities and lives, if it means lying and cheating at the polls, that is what they will do. Anything to get power over all of our lives. In the end, even the Marxist Socialist Democrat voters will be deeply wounded by their own party but it will be too late to turn it around. America has been founded on the greatest principles of any nation in the world today. We need to stand up for every Constitutional right we have and fight them in the courts, on the ballot and if necessary whatever means the Marxist Socialists want to fight in order to maintain our Constitutional Republc.
Disagree with this article regarding the statement that legal immigration is America’s great strength. Legal immigration should have ended by 1970. Illegal immigration should have ended in 1970 as well. Once nations like America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Europe allowed itself to be overwhelmed by people from the Third World, then those nations become unstable. Those nations become divided to the point where no one is satisfied as to how a country is govern. Each group wants things done their way, otherwise there is protests and riots to get what they want.
That is why America is in a state of decline to a point where the country cannot recover from its mistakes. As the years goes by, America, itself will become a third world country to the point where society will collapse, become bankrupt, The facts are out there for everyone to see, if they look hard enough.
There’s a solution to the porous border with South America. It is an extreme one, but it would only need to be done once. Evacuate a strip along the length of the border, then nuke it. This means that would-be migrants have to penetrate a radioactive wasteland to get into the US. All the personnel currently deployed along the border could then be redeployed to the beaches or airports, whichever alternative the migrants resort to using. Either, however, should be easier to police than a land border.
