Do they know that kind of enforcement is a powerful deterrent to would-be illegal border-crossers abroad, and lack of such enforcement is a powerful pull factor that encourages more illegal immigration?<\/p>\n<p>It would seem they do not. These are\u2062 the same people, after all, who tacitly supported a \u200d2019 law making it much \u200ceasier for illegal immigrants <a href=\"https:\/\/cis.org\/Report\/New-York-GreenLight-Law-Creates-Serious-and-Unprecedented-Hurdles-Immigration-Enforcement\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">to get a driver\u2019s license \u2064in New York<\/a>, thus shielding them from detection, while also prohibiting ICE and CBP from accessing New York \u2064DMV records.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-df4508a303e2025139e91909e99a6379 fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-10\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-df4508a303e2025139e91909e99a6379\"><\/div>\n<p>Did the \u2062current Democratic mayor of New York\u2062 City, Eric\u200d Adams, support this policy when it\u2063 was introduced four years ago? He\u200d was a state senator \u2062for years; surely he knew\u200d about it. Today, Mayor Adams says that any plan to address the migrant crisis in his city that does not involve stopping the flow of illegal immigration at\u200d the border \u201cis a failed plan.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I hate to be the one to break it to \u200chim, but stopping the flow of \u2063illegal immigration at the border means taking \u200daway the \u2062incentives for people\u200d to illegally cross\u2063 the border \u2064in the \u200dfirst place. \u2062Making it\u2062 easy for illegal immigrants to get \u2063a driver\u2019s license, for example, while helping \u2064to shield them from federal immigration authorities, is\u200d a recipe for more, not less, illegal immigration.<\/p>\n<p>New York is of course only one \u200dstate \u2062among many that has passed\u200b such laws. Indeed, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wealthy-democrats-aided-and-abetted-the-biden-border-crisis-now-theyre-whining-about-it\/\" title=\"Wealthy Democrats contributed to the Biden border crisis and now complain about it.\">vast illegal immigrant sanctuary\u2064 network<\/a> has sprung up nationwide in recent years among blue cities, states, and counties that have enacted laws, \u200dordinances, regulations, and policies that hinder immigration enforcement and shield criminal aliens from ICE.<\/p>\n<p>Still, even amid the \u2064crisis, with migrant families \u200csleeping on the \u2062streets of \u200cNew York and other major cities, blue-state elites don\u2019t quite seem to grasp what\u2019s \u200chappening, which is why they aren\u2019t demanding deportation but better processing and expedited work permits for\u200d \u201casylum-seekers\u201d \u2014\u200c policies that do nothing but provide more and stronger incentives for migrants to enter the United States illegally.<\/p>\n<p>And make\u200c no mistake: Would-be\u200c migrants \u2062are acutely aware of the incentives and disincentives \u200bat work here. As Todd Bensman of the Center for Immigration Studies <a href=\"https:\/\/spectator.org\/report-from-the-southern-border-interview-with-todd-bensman\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">noted in a recent interview<\/a>, \u201cAll U.S.-bound immigrants pay very, very close, almost academic attention, to any and all policy pronouncements uttered or implemented by American leaders about immigration. They also pay\u200b close attention to news \u200dof all immigration-related court rulings. The reason they are so disciplined is because this or that policy or court ruling either makes illegal entry easier or harder.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Which means, in turn, that surges\u2063 in illegal \u2062border-crossings of the kind we\u2019ve seen\u2062 since Biden took office \u2014 a record <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbp.gov\/newsroom\/stats\/southwest-land-border-encounters\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2.3 \u2064million \u200dborder arrests last year<\/a> and on track for the same or greater this year \u2014 are driven almost entirely by policy decisions coming out \u200bof Washington, D.C., and\u200c legal rulings from the federal \u200cjudiciary.<\/p>\n<p>If New York millionaire Democrats \u2063paid half as much attention to border policy as illegal immigrants do, maybe they\u2019d grasp what\u2019s going on at \u200dthe border, and why. Maybe they could then start to make \u200bsense of the anger and frustration of working- and\u200c <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/deep-blue-illinois-named-the-worst-state-for-the-middle-class\/\" title=\"Deep-Blue Illinois Named the Worst State for the Middle Class\">middle-class residents<\/a> of their cities, who increasingly show \u2063up at public meetings to express \u2064outrage at the migrant crisis.

Take them someplace else or send them back to Venezuela. I don\u2019t\u2063 care where they go. This is wrong. You got 73 \u200cpercent of \u200dthe people homeless in\u2062 this city are black people. What have you done \u2062for them?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Maybe, just maybe the wealthy elites who run our blue cities are beginning to wake up and realize that soon\u2063 that woman\u2019s question will be on the lips of every resident of New York, Chicago, Los Angeles,\u200c and every other place where Democrats\u200c have helped create the conditions\u200c for\u200c this crisis.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s hoping they can connect the dots.
