As reported by the Washington Post in Mar., 2022, deportations of illegal migrants by Immigration and Customs Enforcement [ICE] fell drastically in 2021 as a direct result of the priorities imposed upon it by the Biden administration. That that year also saw record high border crossings would perhaps seem to validate Republican claims that the Democrats were motivated more by a naively sentimental concern for the welfare of foreigners than by a rational consideration of the impact of their policy on the well- being of their own citizens.
As reported by several news agencies, including Fox, an ICE initiative conducted across the country between Oct. 22 and Nov. 4 of this year resulted in the arrest of 138 violent, previously convicted sex offenders who would no doubt have been denied entry to the U.S. had they submitted themselves to the protocols previously mandated by American Law. Trump’s Mexican wall was of course demonized as a product of racism. But how many innocent girls or children need to be sexually violated before the woke mob reconsiders the slack border policy it pushed Biden to embrace? How bad does the fentanyl epidemic need to get before it admits that much of this drug is pouring into the States via the Mexican border? Of course these problems are going to persist whatever political party holds sway, but was not Satan’s wall [oops, I meant Trump’s] a perfectly logical step in trying to maintain the quality of life of those who elected him?
I am fully in favor of an open, compassionate immigration policy conducted within the Rule of Law. To the woke Left, of course, this makes me but a thinly veiled White Supremacist. Those given to such simplistic conclusions have replaced Reason with Identity as the defining factor of their worldview. Sadly, this makes rational discussion with them utterly futile. Such is the state of political discourse in the “progressive” West today!
