The U.S. is packed with sanctuary states, sanctuary cities, and noble citizens who say that they will do anything necessary to maximize the number of migrants living in the U.S. Why, then, are we seeing videos of ICE going into various low-income neighborhoods and rounding up the undocumented? There are very likely more Americans who’ve voted for open borders than there are undocumented migrants (tough to estimate the latter number, though, according to Yale). Wouldn’t we expect every undocumented migrant or family of migrants to have found a secure home in the basement or spare bedrooms of a migrant-welcoming native-born American? If that were true and if the migrants kept quiet until the U.S. was once again run by open borders enthusiasts, how could ICE ever get the necessary warrant to go into a progressive’s suburban house and detain the migrants within? The probably cause would be “shops at Costco more than once per month”?
The above-described situation would be a win-win for the hosts and the migrants. The migrants would get to stay in the U.S. forever and wouldn’t have to work. At the cost of a slightly higher grocery bill, which could be offset by avoiding Whole Foods, the hosts would be able to don the mantle of heroism previously earned by Miep and Jan Gies, two of the Dutch gentiles who hid Anne Frank and her family (Miep was rewarded by God with a 100-year life; Jan wasn’t as virtuous, apparently, and died at 87).
Related, the botanical garden in Tortola reminds us that “uncontrolled transport of plants” results in “replacement” of natives because the immigrants consume resources and reproduce rapidly.
