I don’t understand. Both Donald Trump’s insistence on building a wall along the Mexican border as well as his invocation of Title 42, were widely denounced by the Left as aggressively racist in intent. A response to the outbreak of the Covid pandemic, Title 42 gave border authorities the right to simply return asylum seekers to their countries of origin. It is estimated that since 2020, nearly 3 million have been so dispatched. In fairness to Joe Biden, he tried to have Title 42 cancelled, but was stymied by lawsuits launched by various Southern Republican States. Due to the end of America’s emergency response to Covid, however, Title 42 is due to expire on May 11. One would think, given their rhetoric, the Democrats would be overjoyed to see it lapse, but Biden recently announced the need to send an additional 1500 military personnel to join the 2500 already at the border in order to deal with the expected surge of foreign invaders. My questions are as follows: Does not the presence of approximately 4000 national guardsmen at America’s southern border prove that Trump’s wall and Title 42 were in fact eminently practical responses to the potential chaos produced throughout the South by the sudden influx of hundreds of thousands of uninvited foreigners? If Trump was guilty of racism for wanting to stem that flow, are not Biden and his Democrats equally so?
Ironically, those simpletons convinced that the Western World ought to open its borders to the refugees of every failed nation on the planet, have begun to accuse Biden and his Party of racism. Even more ironic, however, is that these same people tend to inveigh against the Capitalism, technology, etc., that are the very source of the benefits that attract those from other parts of the world. Yes, to the brain dead Left, Capitalism is unconscionably Evil, yet “compassion” demands we make the products of that Evil available to every person on the planet.
