The news on the U.K.’s illegal immigration problems has not really generated much buzz stateside. Eighty thousand illegals a year are expected to get by the U.K. Border plod. Over here in the U.S., by contrast, we call 80,000 border-jumping illegals “last week”. In the two-and-a-half years since Biden became President, 5.1 million folks have entered this country illegally through our southern border according to the Customs and Border Protection (CDP) records. 

You might think our CDP has a lot of work to do kicking out the 5.1 million. You would be wrong. The majority of these folks (about 60%) are allowed to stay in the country. As long as you can say you are seeking asylum and are not covered by Title 42 (which means you cannot remain in the U.S. if you test positive for Covid) you can stay until presenting yourself at a court on an assigned date. The Biden Administration helpfully asks you where you want to go and transports you around the country to various destinations. Once there you recede from view as many have to wait 10 years for a court date. 

The Trump administration tried to reduce crossings on the southern border with various policies such as ‘Remain in Mexico’. But the 2,000 mile border was not secure as 400,000 illegals were still apprehended in 2020, the last year of the Trump Administration.

The U.S. is the most generous country in the world for legal immigrants and legitimate refugees fleeing war zones or in mortal peril for their beliefs. An average of one million immigrants enter the country legally each year. In many years the U.S. total of legal migrants is greater than all other countries in the world put together. At any one point in time there are four million people in the legal queue waiting for entry.

It’s not enough for some. 

Unfettered illegal immigration is backed by elites across the board. Business elites want ‘cheap labour’ (sub-minimum wage), while Democrat politicians want what they believe will be new Democrat voters. The business motive is underscored by businesses’ refusal to use the E-Verify system (check for Illegals before hiring) and the new voter motive is supported by the Democrats passing legislation allowing non-citizens to vote while pushing for amnesty and citizenship for all illegals in the country.
