The Biden administration refuses to secure the border, instead it promises to fight the “root cause” of millions of people invading America. All it has to do is find that root cause.
DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas blamed “the effects of climate change, poverty, increasing levels of authoritarianism.” In its joint communique with Mexico, the Biden administration promised to “address the root causes of migration, such as poverty, inequality, democratic decline, and violence.” The Mexican version left out “democratic decline” and then the Biden administration, to avoid embarrassing its undemocratic ally pulled the phrase entirely.
So at least we know that “democratic decline” isn’t a cause of people invading America.
The head of the North America bureau at the Mexican Foreign Ministry argued that the U.S. needs to spend more on “foreign investments to help alleviate poverty, the root cause of migration that leads to desperation and problems like violence and insecurity.”
American companies already outsourced huge chunks of our manufacturing to Mexico.
And U.S. companies are set to invest $40 billion in Mexico through this year and the Biden administration has been urging most companies to bring their supply chains to Mexico. Despite that, there were over 1.5 million border encounters with Mexican nationals in the last two fiscal years making it the top nation for illegal alien invaders. Bringing a Tesla plant to Mexico is not going to prevent the equivalent of the population of a major city from coming each year.
All the talk of root causes proposes that we solve all the social and economic problems of the rest of the world to get it to stop coming here. That’s somehow easier than building a wall.
The premise of the “root causes of migration” is that the migrants, who are generally young men, armed with cell phones and have thousands of dollars to spend on the trip, are the
“tired”, “poor”, “huddled masses” and “wretched refuse” from the poem semi-accidentally engraved on the Statue of Liberty. The reality is undermined by the Chinese Communist bourgeoisie who are showing up at the border and looking for jobs as software engineers.
Bloomberg (the magazine, not the former presidential candidate) profiled the wretched huddled masses of Chinese border migrants combining their illegal invasion with a vacation in Cancun.
Among them are “entrepreneurs who saw business evaporate in the downturn, middle-aged fathers laid-off from China’s collapsing real-estate sector and young software engineers eager to make it in Silicon Valley.” Entrepreneurs with evaporating businesses are a hell of a root cause.
There’s a gaming software engineer who fell in love with Japanese novels, traveled through Japan and then Qatar and across Central America, hiking through a rainforest and taking lots of pictures, who paid $5,000 to border smugglers, and wants to get a job in Silicon Valley and also plans to study Japanese literature at a community college. What’s the root cause there?
The magazine introduces us to a self-described “refugee from the collapse of China’s real estate sector” and a factory owner who lost his plant in a government crackdown. Truly the wretched of the earth with no choice but to fly halfway around the world and then apply for asylum to seek refuge from China’s collapsing real-estate sector in America’s real estate sector.
A volunteer says that “every person I talk to has a job waiting”.
Compared to many of the usual MS-13 gang members, unskilled labor and aspiring terrorists who usually show up at the border, these folks may not necessarily be a bad bet (if you assume that what America needs most is high-skilled foreigners looking to cash in but with no real allegiance to this country and perhaps an allegiance to an enemy nation).
What is more obvious is that the root cause of the border invasion is an open border.
Flying to Cancun for vacation (after getting job offers over the internet from American companies) before hiking through some scenic country and then crossing the border is how immigration works now. It’s a lot faster and cheaper to come through Mexico than to spend years following the legal process of applying to come to work in America.
China’s expat middle class isn’t satisfied with 24,000 visas and so 66,000 of them showed up. And it’s not just China. Much of the world has been bombarded with videos of everyone from around the world, including Russia and Ukraine, who just showed up and got in.
Most of them have reasons for coming. Like their factory got shut down (are we supposed to build them another one in China?) or they want to work in Silicon Valley (should we export even more tech jobs to China?), and they’re coming here to make money and change their lives.
We’re not going to fix those “root causes” except by making everyone in the world wealthier than us. And that is really the only way to address the root causes of mass migration. Only when we have nothing left, then the rest of the world may finally stop lining up to come here. Maybe.
That’s not much of a plan, but it’s the only plan that the Biden administration seems to have.
The legal immigration system has been replaced by a lawless mass invasion by millions of people who have figured out that there’s no point in bothering with a long and expensive process when they can just walk up and apply for asylum and be allowed in till their court dates kick in somewhere around 2035. That is the one and only “root cause” of the border crisis.
How do we solve it? Biden wants to make legal immigration easier. But the underlying question is still whether the United States can or should handle millions of arrivals every year. Legal processes are important, but more important still is the general welfare of the nation.
Obama and Biden decided to unilaterally implement “immigration reform” through a combination of amnesties for some illegals and replacing immigration with mass migration. Faced with a few Republicans resistant to the idea of amnesty and unlimited mass immigration, they implemented it anyway through a backdoor the size of the US-Mexico border. All the talk about root causes is a distraction from the simple fact that this is not an accident or incompetence: it’s policy.
Americans are still misled by the carefully selected pictures of sad women with kids into thinking that this is a “refugee crisis”. It’s a crisis, but it has nothing to do with refugees. The massive increase in border invaders is not due to “climate change” or any other new phenomenon. The Mexican government blamed the Cuban embargo, that has been around for generations and the Venezuelan sanctions, around for quite a while. Poverty and violence south of the border are also long standing phenomena. The rest of the world did not change: America did.
We opened our border and factory owners and software engineers from China decided to come. So did everyone else, rich and poor, along with cartel members and terrorists, who were allowed in with no real scrutiny by the Biden administration. They come because we let them come.
The root cause of the border crisis isn’t south of the border: it’s up north in Washington D.C.
Well, it’s nice to see that some of the jobs “that Americans will not do” will be taken from my son and me. Chinese software engineers need to work, too.
Each admin signs off on massive outsourcing and bringing in low-cost Chinese and Indian HB-1 employees to do much of the grunt work in Silicon Valley.
Then they wonder where TikTok comes from.
Mexico is the enemy of America and flesh and blood bona fide US citizens.
Let’s start from that premise and see where it leads.
The root cause of the invasion of America is the desire to invade and destroy the America that was. It is not complicated.
San Gabriel Valley and Irvine in Orange County are other places of interest to the chinese. Not everyone goes to Silicon Valley
Some go to China, Maine.

“Maine authorities say they raided an illegal marijuana operation in China over the weekend, arresting three people and seizing 970 plants.
The Kennebec County Sheriff’s Office says they got a tip on Saturday about a person being held against their will at 1144 Route 3 in China.
Three people identified as 36-year-old Changgeng Chen, 41-year-old Bing Xu, and 43-year-old Aiqin Chen were arrested.”
A Navajo had a giant illegal marijuana greenhouse operation going in Northern New Mexico. He got busted in 2020 for using hundreds of Chinese slave illegal aliens to work there.
The root cause of immigration is that people want to come here.
Now that conspiring to violate our immigration laws seems as popular as multi-level marketing, these hustlers best be reminded that if 2024 sees a legitimate Presidential election, 2025 may see these scofflaws facing Indictment.
The root cause of illegal immigration is wet backs.
Did not Mark Levin promulgate that the abrogation of immigration enforcement as the sufficient stand-alone specification mandating impeachment of Joseph Biden?
And that this situation has existed, indisputably, for more than two years. The delay has been catastrophic. We will be lucky to survive at all. Survival unscarred is impossible.
Where is the mighty free and independent press? Decide for yourself if this situation exists in spite of them, or because of them.
Feel free to call, write, or email you state legislators and register your concerns over election integrity. The Republic lives or dies upon the issue of Constitutional election integrity.
Our foes aren’t striving for a place in God’s paradise. They want to be in charge here, immediately, and forever. We are dealing with professional criminals specializing in corruption and possessing advanced skill sets at their craft.
Please persevere. Or we enter a dark age.
The Chinese are smarter about it than the others. One example from my personal experience, in my former neighborhood, there was a very nice Chinese lady that we used to chat with on our walks, while she was cleaning up outside her house. From the outside it looked like a normal house. But in reality it had a large hidden facility for elderly disabled persons to live in, including elevators, since the building was perched on the side of the hill. Noone who wasn’t familiar with that area would have noticed. But we used to nose about on our walks and explore buildings under construction, maybe that’s how I found out about it.
I guess this comment didn’t go over too well. Maybe I should have pointed out that the lady could bring a bunch of rich disabled elderly Chinese into USA and stash them in her hidden facility, and none would be the wiser.
Does she still run her stash house? That’s crazy.
Thanks Jeff! Yeah, I still wonder how she got away with it. The area was zoned for single family dwellings.
At least, they will not be on welfare.
Look at that line up of Chinese men. All virtually identical, same exact size bag, all government officials?
It looks like they’re all waiting on a cab to Central Station.
or all are CCP soldiers – wanting to bayonet us like they did to our wounded U.S. soldiers on the battlefield during the Korean war.
The recent 2 million immigrants have increased the total population of the USA by only 00.6%
Is that sustainable ?
There are now more illegal aliens walking across our border each month than there are babies being born in the US each month. White people became the minority in California in 2014. . White people became the minority in Texas in 2022. In 1970 80% of those states were white. In 22 years whites will become a minority in the entire United States. This is all due to the massive immigration our government has forced on us against our will. And it’s happening in every white country on earth. In 1836 there were 5,000 Mexicans in Texas. Now there are 15,000,000.
40 States in America have a population of 10 million or less. If Biden steals the white house again, his open borders for 8 years will be like adding two more States to our country – but that will be two States made up of tax takers, not taxpayers.
Lindsey Graham has had a comprehensive immigration plan on the table for several years now. Republicans have never developed or offered any alternative. It’s more likely Republicans care about illegal immigration only as a political talking point, not something they’ll ever actually work to resolve.
then vote for Trump – he will solve it fast.
Daniel Greenfield has once again hit the nail on the head and driven it out the other side of the board! (I mean this as a compliment.)
We should seal the border, enforce our laws, and enact a ten year immigration moratorium.
When Trump did nothing to solve the immigration crises the last time, he pretty much ended any chance of US survival. After two years of failure and incompetence on issues involving survival of our country and culture he kept doubling down and backs issues and still appoints and endorses rhinos and people who completely torpedo any ability to fight back. Is it that he can’t learn or won’t learn?
If Trump does gets elected, he won’t send a single one of these people back. that Biden let in. Just slow the immigration rate like the last time.
Didn’t do a single thing on immigration and had tremendous power to do so.
Former Minnesota governor, Jesse Ventura, who was never taken seriously by establishment, had this to say about illegal immigration: “Millions around the world would like to come to America. We cannot take them. Instead, they should make their countries better, rather than come here to make our country worse.” Only because Ventura isn’t a politician can he express such truth to fact.
Another thing that comes to mind for me is that many, if not most of these people are used to being ruled by authoritarian governments. The left must love that. I think they have also realized that their public school indoctrination over the last 30 years or so has worked out well for them. Now they just need to wait for those of the boomer generation to die off and they’ll have a solid lock on government.
