Biden's wake-up call on illegal immigration.
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.

This is what happens when these tools on the Left vote by Hatred, instead of common sense.
Come awwwwwwn Mannnnnnn....You know that common sense is not a flower that grows in everyone's garden !! After all, these are hard working honest folks and not a deceitful bone in their body. Nothing would ever go wrong with shipping your 12 year old daughter up through another country with drug cartels. Perfectly normal routine and highly encouraged by any civilization...Good times are on the way. Thanks Joey
Another take on this: if they were all blonde hair and blue eyed immigrants then the knuckledraggers would welcome them with open arms.
The fall of the western Roman empire was cause by the Barbarian invasion.
The USA will see its fall because of the South of the border invasion.
Well 3T, that is an interesting post, coming from the liberal side.....illegal people that commit crimes makes a difference in their hair and eye color?...Right up there with white supremacists being the big threat and nationalism. Now, how about just focusing on crime and consequences under the law??..Not because of ones' skin/hair/eye color.<shaking head>
I'm right on and sadly that's the truth in America. Racism. If they were blonde people trump and his maga crowd would ask to tear the wall down.
It's past someones nap time. They are getting a little fussy.
Cdana you can't handle the truth. Let's see one of your 1000 word bs responses!
The TRUTH will find you
JB immigration policy is visibly and dangerously to our USA in shambles. :-(
Nota Bene;
JB immigration policy is visibly and dangerously to our USA is in shambles, like his demoted 'non compas mentis' self.
History lesson LB.

LakerBennyextradummy is an ignorant lemming that may push 87-90 IQ, after all he taps out one to two sentences at a time. This troll has yet to make any case for anything it states, just statements, all hat no cowboy.
LB use some common sense will yah. Wake up and R*E*A*D this is about your IDOL, not President Trump!
It's obvious my comments are over you guys heads but it's the truth. Immigration has been around for along time. I'm 100% correct. All the uproar from the Republicans over immigration would be nil if the people arriving in our southern borders were blonde haired blue eyed light skinned people. HOW hard is it to understand. I can only dumb it down so much!!!
Dumbing it down....is THAT what you call it ??...I'm totally surprised the " But Trump" was absent...Funny that a person has such disdain for the problems in a city neighborhood but thinks criminals coming into some other part of the country is perfectly acceptable, then goes off topic onto something that has nothing to do with the article and starts the racist card.That takes a boatload of intellect, right there. 8th grade ?? Freshman maybe ?
You're wrong LB. It's not the color/race/nationality of the people crossing the border that's a problem. The problem is that they're crossing the border illegally. Do it right, do it legally, go through the process, no one has a problem with it. Don't do it that way, then it's an issue.
Cdanat I knew you couldn't understand. I could only dumb it down so much. There no hope for you!
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.
C Dana it would be acceptable to the Republicans if they were light skinned and blonde regardless if they were legal or not. Think about this fact. Race is a big issue. Many of the anglos in the southwest would be more receptive to the light skinned people.
Not all of these people are criminals. Many want to work right away with work permits. Thousands of them.
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.
YES they are ALL criminals !!, You can't cross a border and come into this country just because you want to be here. It is called legal immigration. There are laws and rules and applications and protocols...not show up at the border," Here I am and I promise to show up at a hearing down the road"..... What are you so hung up on skin color for? Thats juvenile race-baiting and not one of us here are into that game...But you sure are!!! Kinda sad that's all you have for a reply...
8 U.S. Code � 1325 - Improper entry by alien
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.
Up to 6 months in jail is not a traffic infraction...IT is, has and always will be a crime !! And any idiot that spends more than 365 days being incarcerated is a Felon. Sneaking across the Rio Grande in the middle of the night is not a designated immigration entry point.
Consider your home to be the same as America. If someone wants to come into your home, the right way to do it is they knock on your door, and you talk to them. Then you can either invite them in or you say no thank you, and you close the door. That is the legal way.
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.
