Brad, you are truly a cruel and heartless monster. What about our "values"? What about Emma Lazarus and her poem?
You seem to have left out one crucial constituency here: how else will rich liberals get to publicly perform their compassion and display their obvious moral superiority if we don't allow America to instate DEI on a global scale and give the poor and brown the Equity that our evil white ancestors stole from them?
Imagine if the Soros clan, the Chan-Zuckerburgs, the NGO Karenocracy, the Ivy League, and Rage Against the Machine don't have millions of migrants to tend to daily, and are robbed of the opportunity to pass out free homes and phones and jobs?
Anyone can be a citizen, anyone can belong to a society or participate in the politics of a nation-state—but it takes someone truly enlightened to want to destroy all these things because of their obvious inability to achieve utopia and spread self-esteem around in an equitable fashion.
Just remember this for later in the decade (or year) when America erupts in spasms of violence and chaos because of our betters' desperate need to live out John Lennon's "Imagine": they were only trying to make the world a better place!
The GOP's performance art of impeaching Mayorkas unfortunately won't slow the flow one bit, as he will be immediately replaced by another obedient apparatchik. If they slid 8M+ across the river over the last 3 years we can expect somewhere north of 10M by inauguration day. Not counting the "get aways" of course.
The real question is what comes next. Given the right combination of luck and Karma, Trump gets sworn in for a second term where he will of course have the authority to stop the flood and maybe even complete the wall. But even if he has some authority to expel Biden's 10M new "Democrats in waiting" the Swamp will fight him tooth and nail such that he will spend his final 4 years simply battling court cases while the illegals remain -- and breed like rabbits, spitting out litters of anchor puppies until their uteruses fall out. I can already picture the Monty Python musical skit "Every Sperm Is Sacred" in my mind.
I am seriously afraid that we are past the point of no return. The same self-righteous virtue signaling twats screeching about "the unwashed" now invading their precious sanctuary cities and want them relocated will suddenly re-develop their feigned compassion once Trump attempts any Operation Return to Sender.
Just look at Western Europe FFS. And those invaders were invited. Sharia law is coming for the West.
Biden is the worst president we have ever had by far. No other president has been as corrupt, inept, morally bankrupt & senile to boot. That last is not a contradiction, just icing on awful.
Let's face it. The GOP is the real reason we have a border mess. They have supported their big business political benefactors for decades. Consequently we have had bipartisan cooperation to keep it a mess.
CP gave some background on the possible behind the scenes thinking but the story in roxbury is asign for the times. The gov of Mass closed a community center in Roxbury (District 7 Squad member Ayanna Pressley rep) one of the most distressed neighborhoods in New England the gov said she had no choice as apparently Newton and all of the other rich districts were somehow unavailable. Unavailable? Unavailabe because if they did that in Newton you'd see hell break lose. same as in Naperville IL when the councilman proposed a sign up sheet to share homes. No one did of course.
The virtue on display only lasts as long as they do not have to do anything and the entitled rich not only hate the poor, they think they are virtuous for doing so.
All of this, and I have bad news for them all. After immigrants stick around long enough to see how things work, they vote Republican. Don't believe me? Look who is supporting DJT 2024.
If National Guard troops from more than half the country assemble at Eagle Pass, Biden’s most likely response will be ordering the tanks from Ft Hood to engage. THAT will result in the park being renamed Sumter.
I have found the Biden administration's management of the border to be obscene. I was particularly appalled by his "verdict first, trial later" actions against BP horseback agents that photographically appeared to be using horse reins as whips against people.
That being said, I want to give benefit of doubt to the bipartisan Senate legislation, and withhold judgment (e.g. the 5,000 limit) until it's complete, as Senator Lankford requested.
Also, I'll add clarification on the Scalia references to Arizona border control. Important to recall that he wrote a dissent from the majority opinion that held that federal policy trumped the state's. Doesn't mean he is wrong, just that his words carry little legal weight.
One good thing I see here, if we use that app and the parol program's data, we can find and eject all those people from ourr lands. You know, AFTER enough Americans wake up to the enemies within our borders and decide to do something. (I'm here and ready to provide whatever peaceful support is needed to clean up this mess.)
“Nearly 70,000 foreigners arrive in the United States every day. Most of these travelers are visitors, not settlers. More than 60,000 are tourists, business people, students, or foreign workers who are welcomed at airports and border crossings. About 2,200 daily arrivals are immigrants or refugees who have been invited to become permanent residents of the United States. Finally, about 5,000 foreigners make unauthorized entries each day. About 4,000 of them are apprehended just after they cross the U.S.-Mexico border. But nearly 1,000 elude detection, or slip from legal to illegal status by violating the terms of their visas. Many will remain, while others will return to their home countries.”
In a hurry but the above from1999 just to illustrate that our border has always been a busy place. Closing it at 5000 isn’t that sloppy. Also of the total encounters at the southern border today, from 40 to 60 percent, I think as high as percent are “deported”, turned away. The others are given dates to appear at immigration court,n which is a huge problem given the underfunded immigration/asylum judiciary. In fact Biden has deported larger proportion of encounters than Trump. The numbers are huge now for numerous reasons, including end of Covid, NAFTA, and US meddling in destabilizing any number of central and S American countries. I fully support closing down the border at this point, as Biden’s policies are obviously not working, but nor are they adequately funded,which brings us to the current shitshow in the House, sitting on a bill that provides authorizations for closing border or limiting the number granted temp status. It’s pretty far fetched that Dems alone have this great plan to get more voters when Reagan, Bush II and GOP have been complicit as well in building this crises all along.

PREACH IT BROTHER. Ultimately the Democrats want these people turned into voters -- or at least ballots.
Great essay, Brad.

Bravo, Brad, one of your best! I always know your posts will be thought provoking and well worth the read.

This from PRB.org 1999..
“Nearly 70,000 foreigners arrive in the United States every day. Most of these travelers are visitors, not settlers. More than 60,000 are tourists, business people, students, or foreign workers who are welcomed at airports and border crossings. About 2,200 daily arrivals are immigrants or refugees who have been invited to become permanent residents of the United States. Finally, about 5,000 foreigners make unauthorized entries each day. About 4,000 of them are apprehended just after they cross the U.S.-Mexico border. But nearly 1,000 elude detection, or slip from legal to illegal status by violating the terms of their visas. Many will remain, while others will return to their home countries.”
