This Explains the Left's Immigration Policies Completely

President Joe Biden opened the U.S.-Mexico border. He made it stupidly easy for illegal immigrants to come across and do whatever they wanted. Sure, many were just looking for a better life – I mean, we're the United States. I can't blame them for looking here, but many others had more nefarious ideas in mind.

When the public lashed out over the policies, though, Biden claimed the problem was really that Republicans wouldn't back his immigration bill. He claimed he needed that bill to do anything about a problem that wasn't nearly the same issue under President Donald Trump.

Of course, his heir designate lost this past November, and Trump returned to office, only to see illegal immigration cracked down on without any new laws.

It looked like, despite Biden's insistence that he wanted to address illegal immigration, the goal was to permit it.

Since taking office, President Trump has done a lot of things. It's been a whirlwind, to say the least, but immigration has been a major point. Recently, he signed an executive order that barred illegal immigrants from voting. It's a voter ID law, but the purpose is clear.

I mean, he shouldn't have had to because they're actually not allowed. They're not citizens, and voting is an activity for citizens, not just anyone who decides they want to live here.

But it seems that Democratic leadership has a problem with this, and they're filing a lawsuit to block Trump's executive order.

In the process, they've tipped their hands.

See, the influx of illegal immigrants was to try and create a new voter base that would support the left indefinitely. Trump's executive order means those people can't, in fact, become the voting base Democrats so deeply desire.

"No, it's not that. Voter ID laws are difficult for minorities and women who got married."

First, it's pretty condescending to think that minorities can't get IDs to vote when they need them for so many other aspects of daily life in the modern world. I'm not saying that poor people don't find it challenging, but they manage it because even if they aren't interested in voting, they need ID for so many other things.

And married women are perfectly capable of showing their married names and having everything updated.

That's a non-argument predicated on trying to hide what their goals really are. They know that minorities get IDs all the time. In fact, following Georgia's voter integrity law passed after 2020, we've seen record turnout for both elections that have taken place. If that's voter suppression, maybe it's not such a terrible thing.

Of course, it's no such thing. It's just a way to make sure no one is voting when they shouldn't, much like the executive order that's the target of this lawsuit.

It's not about right or wrong.

It's about power.

Democrats care nothing about the American people, just their ability to foist their Marxist agenda onto us. If the voters aren't going to support that – and we've seen that they won't – then they'll just import enough new voters to change that forever.

They're doing a terrible job of hiding it, too.
