Joe Biden is the Root Cause of the ICE Protests

Joe Biden’s “Red Speech” at Independence Hall Sept. 1, 2002 (Public Domain)

As soon as Biden was elected, he erased the southern border.

Unvetted migrants came pouring across.  There were more than ten million migrant encounters, some of them repeat offenders, during Biden’s four wretched years in office.  That, and inflation, put Donald J. Trump back into office.

Trump, neither Left nor Right, considered illegal immigration to be a problem that needed fixing. 

He proceeded to do so, without much regard for any niceties.  The Left, always on the side of illegal activity, became offended by the tactics.  There might be what? – 6 million or so migrants that Biden let in and Trump told ICE to get them out.

The law is on Trump’s side.  The optics of the tactics are not. 

However, if Biden had not made open borders a Day One priority – probably to create a new Democratic voting base – there would be no protests.

It’s instructive to consider what the protests are all about.

First, you’ll need a willing suspension of disbelief that these are organic protesters, offended by Trump’s cruelty to our “neighbors” and that migrants are, to a person, pure as the snow and here to work at jobs Americans won’t do.  If you believe that the protesters are a paid mob, likely hired by George Soros’ Open Society Foundations, or egged on by the influence of the Chinese Communist Party (which is likely), then the calculation changes.

But for the moment, think of them as fine American citizens of the Left, here to expose the cruelty of Immigration Customs Enforcement agents who are hired and get big signing bonuses based on how mean they can be.  What then do we make of the law, and how does the law relate to what’s happening in Minnesota?

The law says it’s illegal to sneak into America without going through the motions of applying for citizenship.  No one denies that the United States, as an actual country, has immigration laws.  The disagreement is about whether to enforce them.  Conservatives are virtually always on the side of law enforcement on this issue, fearing higher crime rates, more gangs and drug cartels, and degradation of the Melting Pot culture.  As an “anything goes” ideology, progressives cling to their idealized view of diversity as a strength, and the surge of new Democratic Party voters that will come following their much-desired path to citizenship.

So yes, it’s about one’s vision for America. 

Should it be a Judeo-Christian, English-speaking, capitalistic nation based on rule of law – or should it be a big government, welfare state serving communities of people who come here as they please and live in enclaves with people who sneaked in from the same country, and who all vote for Democrats.

It’s a battle between the incentives of Capitalism versus the warmth of collectivism.  Trump wants the former.  Soros and the CCP want the latter.  Mayor Zohran Mamdani wants the latter.  The leadership of the state of Minnesota wants the latter.  Texas, Ohio, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Florida, and other mostly red states prefer the former.

The protests, and branding efforts to label illegals as “neighbors” are all about changing the United States from a rule-of-law country into a permanent welfare state.  That, and future voters, are what they want.

What do we typically do when someone breaks the law?

It depends on what law.  Democrats constantly tell us that entering the country illegally is not a felony; it’s just a minor crime.  So is shoplifting.  Many Soros DAs have set limits of prosecuting shoplifting.  If you’re just stealing some groceries so that your family can eat, they say, and it’s under $500, there will be no prosecution.  It’s not big deal, and sneaking across the border, at least the first time, is no big deal.  ICE is just mean.

But hold on.  Suppose a non-Soros DA presses charges against a shoplifter.  That person, assuming it’s a small amount stolen, might have to give it back or pay a fine, and (here’s the key) stop shoplifting.  It doesn’t work that way in the immigration battle, and this is where the law doesn’t matter to the Left.   If a first-time illegal alien paid a small price for breaking the law and was told to stop breaking law, he/she would have to go back home to his/her native country.  The Left doesn’t want that.  The Left wants the potential voters and therefore needs a permanent underclass to provide those votes.

This battle played out on NewsNation.

NewsNation is an emerging cable news channel that requires its prime-time anchors to look at both sides of issues.  Chris Cuomo, late of CNN, is on the Left, but he brings on right-wing guests all the time, and is usually nice to them.  That’s the idea of NewsNation.  Katie Pavlich is a conservative who recently moved from Townhall to NewsNation to anchor her own show.  Cuomo had her on as part of the promotion effort.

It started friendly, but when Cuomo contended that simply being here illegally is not such a big crime, Pavlich went off on him.  Her contention was that illegal means illegal, and that we don’t know which illegal is going to murder someone – like Laken Riley who is the poster girl for exposing the violent crimes of illegal aliens.  Cuomo tried, but she cleaned his clock.  The United States was never set up to be a nation where we pick and choose what crime to enforce.

Diversity, belonging, and Joe Biden.

The Left inherently believes that America is an evil nation born in slavery.  The ages roll, but they can’t get over it, and some politicians and pundits on the Left see the world only through the lens of DEI and skin color.  Is that what prompted Joe Biden to erase the border?  I’m not sure even Joe Biden knows the answer to that, or who it was that prompted Biden to make such an asinine executive order.  Many people think Barack Obama was behind it, although he was once known as the deporter-in-chief.  Maybe it was someone else.  But he did it.  The results of that action – higher crime, more murders and rapes, more drug cartels and human traffickers, more degradation of the culture – helped put Donald Trump back in power.

It’s not easy following Joe Biden in the Oval Office.  Like Trump or not, Biden and his handlers used the pandemic to screw the country in ways I would have thought impossible.  Like Trump or not, the law in on his side when ICE rounds up illegals for deportation.  Like Trump or not, this is what the people voted for.

Like it or not, it was not Donald Trump whose policies led to ICE raids and the current protests.  Joe Biden, as essentially his first act in office, did something very stupid, and he ought to get the blame.
