Biden's wake-up call on illegal immigration.
Published:
President Joe Biden set an ignominious new record for failure in August, as 304,162 migrants arrived in the United States by irregular means. That vast number excludes thousands more whom the administration doesn’t know about because they snuck in undetected.
It is now pretty much guaranteed that 2023 will blow away all annual records for improper, unwanted, and uncontrolled immigration. And worse is to come.
BIDEN ADMINISTRATION CHARGED WITH NEW 'SUE AND SETTLE' END-AROUND OF CONGRESS
The Biden administration divides the flood into different streams — 20,000 from the North, 50,000 paroled to fly in, and 52,000 released into the country despite having no documents — so it can quibble over the word “illegal.” But this is a distraction that blurs an otherwise clear picture of abject federal failure. The headline number is what must command attention, for it is the true measure of illegal/irregular/improper immigration — call it what you will — an inundation taking place without the consent, and against the objections, of America’s citizens.
Absent a policy switch from laxity to enforcement, the migrant tide will rise higher because America’s attractions are permanent, and the big world is filled with people who have the means to travel here and enjoy what the internet shows them is a better life. Few are real refugees who need asylum from persecution. Most are just people who want to settle where it’s easier to build a successful life and who know nothing is stopping them.
Some of the places they’re leaving are merely poorer, others increasingly are failed states where law and order have broken down, and still, others are the “s***holes” our last president undiplomatically said they were. But whatever their variations, they are alike in offering less freedom and opportunity than we do.
No one can blame migrants for wanting to be here. But everyone should blame the Biden administration for letting them in. Biden is, amazingly, still beckoning them to come. He did it explicitly in 2020 when he was running for president. Now that Americans are cross about it, he does it implicitly, for example, with supposedly temporary work permits that, in practice, are permanent.
The U.S. illegal immigration problem is orders of magnitude worse than that of anywhere else in the world. Germany, which is next in line among developed nations, had 322,000 asylum-seekers in 2022 — hardly more in a full year than America suffers in a month. But we should not ignore other nations’ problems because to do so would fail to understand the global nature and scale of the phenomenon we must deal with. Germany, Italy, Britain, and other nations of the rich world are under siege at a time when governments are dithering in the face of international order and norms breaking down.
There are now hundreds of millions, even billions, of people who have the means and desire to migrate toward wealth. It is crucial to realize that the reservoir of migrants will never run out — never. It is no longer a matter of getting past the malign consequences of some random disaster, revolution, or war somewhere else in the world and then being able to settle back to normal. Open spigots of irregular migration are the new normal.
The immense pressure this puts on governments in wealthy nations has started to tell. The pips have begun to squeak. Officials who once responded airily to mass illegal migration by setting up “sanctuary cities” or by sending other racial virtue signals now emit sounds not of smug superiority but of lament and fear.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams suddenly realizes that the crisis will, if left unchecked, “destroy” the city he governs. If the biggest city in America can be destroyed by the migrant flood, despite being one of the farthest from the Mexican border, so can all other cities across the country.

The USA will see its fall because of the South of the border invasion.
JB immigration policy is visibly and dangerously to our USA in shambles. :-(

Qwurston it wouldn't be a problem regardless if they were not dark skinned people. Immigration has been going on for years and years. It's not new.
We have many legal residents in my town that would rather do drugs than work. That's the difference.
Many illegals have been coming for years and they ha e also built tunnels.
Any alien who (1) enters or attempts to enter the United States at any time or place other than as designated by immigration officers, or (2) eludes examination or inspection by immigration officers, or (3) attempts to enter or obtains entry to the United States by a willfully false or misleading representation or the willful concealment of a material fact, shall, for the first commission of any such offense, be fined under title 18 or imprisoned not more than 6 months, or both, and, for a subsequent commission of any such offense, be fined under title 18, or imprisoned not more than 2 years, or both.
Here is the wrong (illegal) way. You come home from work one day. You pull into your driveway and your front door is off the hinges. You think, Someone broke in. You walk in and there are 50 people in your house, eating all your food, throwing stuff around, trashing your house. You call the cops. The cops come and they say, There's nothing we can do. We're not allowed to make them leave.
Now, does it matter what the people in your house look like? Or why they are there? You just want them out of your house. How are you going to make them leave?
Now imagine if it was 8 million people. That's what America is dealing with.
