Stopped reading after this:

Take, for instance, the Democratic Party, whose immigration policy, at least for a large portion of the Biden presidency, has been to effectively open the southern border to all comers

What a load of bullshit! Border crossings went down under Biden earlier this year because of his aggressive enforcement efforts:

Not only that but the article is implying that immigration through the southern border is where nearly all illegal immigrants come from. Most illegal immigration is from people who enter the country legally (from wherever) then overstay their visa.

The southern border is a problem for sure but the border policies of the Democrats are simply on par with the Republican policies (they both don’t accomplish much since the border is just too fucking huge!). Basically, there’s very little that can be done that hasn’t already been tried.

Even if you institute mass deportations the people will just come back because getting into the US is just too easy and it’s physically impossible to actually police the entire southern border let alone the entirety of the land and sea that borders the US.
