Political power is party’s goal on immigration

When one wonders why the Democrats reject vote ID and are willing to make travelers wait in massive lines in an effort to neuter or abolish ICE, there is one simple answer — political power.

They used to be strongly against illegal immigration until it dawned on them that they were losing their blue-collar male base and needed to import illegal immigrants which they would then make legal. Biden blew open a secure border, allowing millions in, not know who they were, while claiming that the border was closed.

This was not a failed policy, rather it was intentional and highly successful for their goal. If women are murdered, raped, assaulted, etc., by people who should not be in the country, they absolutely do not care. Sadly, there was the recent case of the poor girl at Loyola shot by an illegal immigrant and a woman outside DC stabbed to death by someone who should not be here.

The comments from Pritzker and Mayor Johnson were disgusting and an insult to the families but too bad, votes matter more.
