“Our immigration system is broken,” a republican acquaintance insisted. I couldn’t believe my ears, how intellectually incurious and stunted an intelligent, accomplished person could be. This is what a liberal pretending to be a republican looks and sounds like. The liberal talking point is “a broken immigration system,” and these “republicans” repeat the phrase merely because it’s the popular establishment position—the establishment being liberal, of course.
That’s the power of media, of liberal media, of the mainstream media. It sets the ideological course, and that’s the “popular” opinion and position, rendering all other opinion inferior and unpopular.
Evaluating the immigration problem and thinking for themselves is out of the question for these “republicans.” Were they to do so, they’d come to an opposing position, to my position. But doing so would not only contradict popular opinion. Worse, it would invite stinging ridicule and accusation, which is simply intolerable.
Like their liberal kinfolk, these “republicans” worry about what people think and say about them. They don’t like the conservative label, but haven’t the courage to be open, unapologetic liberals, either, an affiliation deemed equally unsavory. So, they call themselves “republicans” but espouse popular liberal orthodoxy. Doctrine such as: “our immigration system is broken.” It’s shady and gutless, but just what you’d expect from liberals, in republican clothing or otherwise.
In question is the popular ideological position. Is America’s immigration system really broken?
Saying the immigration system is broken is like saying, “This war is lost.” As the late Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid—may he writhe in eternal torment in hell’s hottest corner—publicly proclaimed in 2007 regarding the ongoing Iraq War. Reid, the same liberal who knowingly lied about presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s unpaid taxes before the 2012 presidential election. Asked about the intentional deceit before his death, Reid said simply, “He didn’t win, did he?” Meaning Romney. And Romney, a “republican” of this shady and gutless variety, still aligns with his liberal accusers and tormentors.
Reid was an evil human being; may he eternally writhe. Nevertheless, that’s what he said, that the Iraq War was lost, and America was defeated. To that, and to these liberals in republican clothing and their open and unapologetic liberal kin, this question: how can any war ever be lost by a country with an atomic arsenal?
One word: Hiroshima.
The point is no war is ever lost. Same as no immigration system is ever “broken.” To suggest otherwise in either case is far beyond utter nonsense.
Immigration control is simple: build a wall, lockdown the borders with law enforcement and/or military, and man the watchtowers at each and every point of vulnerability. Immigration control isn’t a matter of walls, personnel, and armament, which America and virtually every nation has and can easily and immediately put into place. It’s a matter of political will, which we know to be implicitly true for one, Donald Trump.
Pre-Trump, the immigration and border control issues were, for decades, paid mere lip service by political leadership, democrat and republican alike. Take Hillary Clinton, for example:
“Illegals should be sent back … we’ve got to do more [about border security] … we have to send a clear message: just because your child gets across the border, that doesn’t mean the child gets to stay.”
And the late California Senator, Diane Feinstein:
“I think we can enforce our borders; I think we should enforce our borders. To have a situation where 40% of the babies born on Medicaid in California today are born of illegal immigrants creates a very real problem for [California], which is in deficit. And [to] have 17% of our prison population, at a cost of $300 million a year, be illegal immigrants who come here and commit felonies? That’s not what this nation is all about.”—and these remarks were made decades ago.
And Barrack Obama:
“All of us take offense to anyone who reaps the rewards of living in America without taking on the responsibilities of living in America … We’re also a nation of laws. [Illegals] broke our immigration laws, and I believe that they must be held accountable, especially those who may be dangerous.”
For appearances, congress funded a wall in 2006, the Secure Fence Act, but never built it. Never addressed all this faux concern, either: “illegals and their children getting to stay;” or imprisoned illegals who “come here and commit felonies” at taxpayer expense; or them “reaping the rewards of America without taking on the responsibility.”
Addressing the issues, leaders were clearly aware of them. So, why were the concerns never physically addressed and the wall never built?
Because it was all lip service in servitude to this fact: leaders wanted open borders and illegal immigration.
If they didn’t want it, they would stop it, which is ridiculously simple and easily done.
America’s illegal population was growing for decades, to the point no one could really say how many illegals were in the country. Nobody knew and nobody cared because the result was … desired. Leadership wanted to change the country’s racial dynamics from predominantly white, God-fearing, Christian, pro-flag, pro-constitution, pro-gun, and pro-America loving patriot to something a little more brown, desperate, malleable, dependent, and more amenable to enslavement. Transformation was clearly the plan because, for decades, nobody did anything to rectify the problem.
Enter Donald Trump …
Trump was resolute about ending illegal immigration and protecting Americans, and all witnessed how the establishment felt about that. With full establishment might, liberals fought his security initiatives tooth and nail. They mocked Trump, claimed walls wouldn’t work, delayed, withheld funding—all while executing a treasonous plot to dispense with his presidency, incidentally. It all draws a very simple, clear, and incontrovertible conclusion: American leadership was ever serious about stopping illegal immigration. In fact, it was the direct opposite.
Per a criminal incident or negative data involving illegals, the citizenry would become angry about the lawless invasion, insecurity, and expense. Leaders would then address the matter publicly just to appear they were aware and doing something about it. The public anger would eventually dissipate, and the issue would be intentionally shelved. Until anger arose again, where it was then likewise mollified, and the issue shelved again.
In other words, there was no intention of solving the immigration problem. Hence, the incontrovertible fact:
America’s immigration system isn’t “broken.” It’s immigration laws simply aren’t being enforced. That’s it; that’s all—which must be intentional because the solution is insanely simple.
Anybody could fix this problem if they really wanted to. What do people do when they want a place for their dog to run and play securely outside? They go to the hardware store, purchase some lumber and nails, and erect a fence. Problem solved. Likewise, what do people do when they want to stop illegals from infiltrating their nation? They make the initiative a priority and marshal all law enforcement and the military to the task—which is precisely what Donald Trump did and was despised by America’s leadership class for doing.
Now, why would they despise him for it? They’d been complaining about illegal immigration for decades, even passed a bill to build a wall. “We have to do more,” Clinton said. “We’re a nation of laws,” Obama lashed, and illegals “broke those laws.” Leaders clearly recognized the lawlessness, financial injustice, and national peril. So why then oppose Trump’s immigration initiatives so vehemently and work so hard to defeat them?
Because leadership wanted illegal immigration all along!
There is no other conclusion.
It simply took Trump to expose that fact. In fact, it took Trump to expose a lot of nefarious facts about America’s leadership class, which is precisely why he is the establishment’s—republicans and democrats alike—Enemy Number One.
Immigration systems don’t break, and aren’t broken. That’s a ruse to facilitate desired and transformative illegal immigration, and ultimately an attack on the nation. And if a government facilitates an attack on its own nation, with whom is it then aligned?
The enemy?
Or the people it’s paid to serve and protect?
Something is broken, alright. And it’s not an immigration system.
