Illinois Governor Complains About Migrant Buses – Blames Republicans For Border Crisis<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

As the mass invasion of illegal immigrants grows under the Biden Administration, Democrat politicians are suddenly suffering from a convenient case of amnesia.\u00a0 They have forgotten all about the fact that they invited this invasion by creating \u201csanctuary cities\u201d designed to thwart any attempt by immigration officials to arrest migrants and send them back to their country of origin.\u00a0 Not only that, but they also seem to have forgotten that they incentivized illegal immigration by offering subsidies and welfare handouts to non-citizens. \u00a0<\/p>\n

There is only one group of people that has been fighting to keep the US borders wide open, and that is the political left.\u00a0 But now that we’re entering an election year Democrats are trying to rewrite history again, claiming they are the good guys and conservatives are the villains.<\/p>\n

This is Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker’s argument in a recent interview where he claims that Republicans are the party that \u201cwants to take your freedoms away\u201d and that Republicans are responsible for the immigration crisis because they \u201crefuse to come to the table\u201d to make a deal with Democrats on reforms.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Pritzker launches into his well rehearsed propaganda spiel with a number of lies (perhaps the most egregious being that the Dems \u201cdefend freedom\u201d after they spent the last few years trying to erase a number of constitutional rights in the name of covid).\u00a0 But his most interesting exposition comes at the end of the interview when asked about the effects of the migrant crisis on Illinois and cities like Chicago.<\/p>\n

Pritzker laments the Texas strategy of busing migrants to blue states and cities, pretending as if he doesn’t understand why they are being specifically targeted.\u00a0 They are being targeted because a point is being made \u2013 If the political left is going to push policies that entice illegal immigrants to come here, then leftists should be the people that suffer the consequences.\u00a0 Democrats barely acknowledged the existence of the immigration crisis until it was shipped to their doorstep, and now they cry victim. \u00a0<\/p>\n

It would appear Governor Greg Abbott’s tactics are working.\u00a0 Even Pritzker acknowledges that Joe Biden needs to do more to stop the flow of immigrants.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The notion that leftists have been seeking to resolve the migrant issue is also a bizarre claim.\u00a0 The Biden Administration has made it clear that they intend to obstruct any state effort to stop illegal immigrants from crossing into the US.\u00a0 They have torn down border walls, cut down fences, sued Texas for staging buoy fences in the Rio Grande and deployed National Guardsmen with the mission of helping migrants into the country instead of stopping them.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n

When Democrats make the argument that they want to fix the problem what they are usually referring to is \u201creform\u201d legislation that gives sweeping amnesty or fast citizenship to illegals already in the US.\u00a0 In other words, they suggest the solution is to reward illegal immigrants with citizenship while defending the border becomes a secondary issue.\u00a0 In some cases, they assert that they will not support measures to protect the border unless Republicans accept amnesty.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In other words, Democrats are holding the security of the country hostage until conservatives give them the means to expand their voting constituency – \u201cGive us the migrant vote, give us a super-majority, or we will let the borders remain open indefinitely and blame you for the disaster that follows.\u201d<\/p>\n

It’s a racket akin to mobster intimidation.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n

There are numerous logical reasons why Republicans should refuse to negotiate on the border.\u00a0 First, the security of the country should not be subject to negotiation.\u00a0 The law requires the government to defend our borders, and if they refuse as a means to leverage more power from the people then they are in dereliction of duty and should be removed. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Second, giving amnesty to millions of illegals does not solve the threat of mass immigration.\u00a0 In fact, it makes the threat worse because it encourages more migrants to cross the border in the assumption that they too will one day simply be made citizens by default and without any merit. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Third, the US economy does not have the resources to sustain the tens of millions of illegals that are already here, let alone the millions that will try to get into the country before the next election.\u00a0 Blue city infrastructures are being crushed by the presence of mere thousands.\u00a0 The solution is to send them back to where they came from, not give them the ability to stay here forever.<\/p>\n

Fourth, giving citizenship to millions of people coming primarily from more socialist countries will negatively change the cultural landscape of America for many generations to come.\u00a0 If you thought the Democrats were emboldened to erase constitutional protections during the covid panic, just think of what they will do when they have almost 17 million new voters<\/a> at their disposal who have no concept of individual freedom and no understanding of constitutional restrictions on government power.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
