OPINION:
We wouldn’t be talking about the “mass deportation” of illegal immigrants if the Biden-Harris administration had not indulged the importation of immigrants through the promulgation of executive orders and administrative regulations (“Trump’s new border czar puts sanctuary cities on notice: ‘Get the hell out of the way,’” web, Nov. 11).
The Dutch — and Dutch Jews in particular — are learning the hard way that the decades-long mass importation of assimilation-resistant immigrants comes at a high cost to a nation’s social fabric, even in a country as historically tolerant as the Netherlands.
Here in the United States, a nation of legal immigrants, the first step toward controlling our southern border is to stop ringing the dinner bell for all comers from more than 100 nations under a system that compensates transnational cartels for escorting uninvited and unvetted individuals into the country.
These cartels are also responsible for the mass importation of deadly fentanyl, which kills as many as 100,000 Americans each year.
If elected officials in sanctuary cities, counties and states carry out their vows to resist deportations — including those of convicted criminals and “got-away” border crossers and drug smugglers — they risk an electoral uprising among their own constituents, the likes of which we last saw Nov. 5.
