Unconstrained Immigration Requires An ‘Unconstrained’ Solution
Eddie Scarry argues that Democrats deliberately ignored immigration laws too admit large numbers of poor migrants, enroll them in welfare, and secure their political support. Now that Republicans control the White House, Democrats are portrayed as opposing enforcement efforts and criticizing aggressive ICE operations only because they no longer benefit from the status quo. Scarry criticizes Thomas Edsall’s New York Times column condemning the Trump governance’s “unconstrained” use of ICE-calling out repeated accusations of racism-and says those complaints are illegitimate given Democrats’ prior support for open borders.
The piece contends that deportation and enforcement will be messy and unpleasant, but necessary, and that migrants themselves will resist removal. Scarry insists Democrats lost the moral authority to object after enabling what he calls a mass importation of voters dependent on government aid. The article closes by dismissing Democratic objections to current enforcement measures as undeserving of consideration.
What’s playing out in Minneapolis and other major cities controlled by Democrats is as simple as this: That party willfully ignored our nation’s laws to import millions of destitute foreigners for the purpose of loading them up with welfare and earning their political support, and now that they’re out of power, they’re trying to keep their new constituents here by any means possible.
Those means include continuing to ignore the law and, in many cases, opposing the law. And this is why the public should have not a shred of concern for what Democrats have to say about how the current president, elected by voters in 2024, tries to fix the mess they created.
Thomas Edsall, a formerly respectable New York Times content creator, wrote a long piece this week bemoaning the “unconstrained” methods by which the Trump administration is using ICE to detain and remove illegal aliens, naturally sprinkling the entire article with references to racism. The phrases “white supremacist” and “white nationalist” appear a total of six times.
“ICE abuses,” wrote Edsall on Tuesday, “have revealed the crucial importance of alternative media — including Vox, Axios, Noah Smith’s Substack and 404 Media — in describing in great detail the accumulating body of evidence pointing to a federal agency run amok.”
I’m sure. And nobody should care what they have to say.
The people who excused or otherwise encouraged the mass importation of Third Worlders who now suck every cent they can possibly get from the American taxpayer don’t get to be offended or taken seriously now that there’s an effort to fix what they broke. They gave up the right to debate the correct ways to manage immigration when they said nothing less than open borders was acceptable. They had it 100 percent their way for four years, and it proved unpopular. A majority of the country rejected it and demanded a reversal.
We know that the people most inconvenienced by this colossal problem created by Democrats are the illegal aliens who have to be sent back home. They’re going to do everything they can to prevent being deported, which means this was always going to be a difficult and unsightly process. That doesn’t make it any less imperative, and the fact that the process is less than ideal doesn’t earn anyone the right to resist law enforcement.
Democrats can say the opposite until they run out of oxygen. They put the country in this situation. Their opinion on the matter doesn’t deserve consideration.
