Border Crisis: Democrats Are Trying To Run A Protection Racket On The American Public

It’s important for Americans to understand that the Democrat Party of today has abandoned all pretenses of traditional political engagement.  Yes, there is a long history of brinksmanship in US politics, but we haven’t seen this level of thirst for internal conflict since the Civil War.  Leftists have deliberately created an environment in which any opposition to their policies is labeled “insurrection” and a “threat to democracy.”  They have adopted a zero tolerance mindset, justified in their own imaginations by a cult-like ideology of globalism and wokeness.

The way in which Democrats operate is highly reminiscent of communist regimes of the past.  Honest debates about facts and logic are long gone.  Their goal is to win at any cost, and winning means they become the de facto social and governmental arbiters of all they survey.  Winning for them means the end of western civilization as we know it.

It’s clear that their strategy is to use crisis events as leverage to negotiate more power and influence.  They tried this method during the covid lockdowns.  They tried it with the January 6th protests.  They do it every time there’s a debate over the debt ceiling.  And now, they’re trying to find a way to exploit the border crisis they created.

In the past three years, Joe Biden has overseen the biggest explosion in mass illegal immigration in the history of the US.  Trump era measures such as Title 42 slowed border encounters to a trickle, but Biden ended them all and offered greater incentives for illegals to trespass.

Democrats argue that the only reason there is a border threat is because Republicans refuse to accept the measures included in their immigration “reform” legislation.  Pass the bill, they say, and all these problems go away.

As many conservatives have rightly pointed out, there’s no need for immigration reform or a new migrant bill – The laws that are already in place simply need to be enforced.  But there is a more insidious tactic being applied that needs to be addressed; namely, that Democrats are trying to establish a precedent that border security is something to be “negotiated” through legislative chicanery.

What is it that Democrats want in exchange for a secure border?  Well, they want an open border, of course.

Democrat immigration reform under discussion right now will allow up to 1.8 million illegals to enter the US every year (5000 migrants per day) under asylum and refugee status.  In other words, 1.8 million migrants apprehended at the border will be released into the US by federal agencies.  There are no provisions to end “catch and release” policies.  This number doesn’t include the millions of “gotaways” that avoid detection every year.
