It Used to be "Huddled Masses Yearning to be Free," Now...

It's in-your-face invaders demanding free stuff!

Illegal immigration has become the number one concern for the vast majority of American voters. During the Trump presidency, illegal immigration was under control, the country wasn't awash with illegal aliens. That allowed democrat politicians, liberals, and their media allies plenty of space to charge Donald Trump with xenophobia and racism for maintaining a relatively secure and controlled border. Anyone else who rejected the idea of unfettered illegal immigration was labeled by the left as xenophobes and racists, too.

During that era... which feels like ages ago, illegal immigration was less a reality than it was an abstract; democrat-controlled cities nationwide, in protest of Trump's strict border policies, proclaimed themselves to be sanctuaries for illegal immigrants, a seemingly safe, virtue-signaling bet when very few illegal aliens were crossing the border and their cities weren't in danger of being overrun.

Democrat politicians, liberals, and their media allies were quick to quote the words found on a plaque within the Statue of Liberty, "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to be free." Open the border, let them in, they demanded! Smug and sanctimonious, they celebrated their magnanimous generosity... then ran right out and voted for Joe Biden.

Fast forward three years... over 10 million illegal aliens have invaded America, thousands more arrive by the day. Democrat-controlled sanctuary cities are collapsing under the weight of illegal immigrants who, not too long ago, were happily welcomed, the difference being, a few years ago, there weren't any to welcome. Now, however, well, smug sanctimony can be painful. Fortunately, it's becoming ever-more likely their self-inflicted pain will soon be relieved; having created countless other disasters for America, Joe Biden's political days are numbered.

Speaking of numbers, allow me to provide a little historical context: The Statue of Liberty was installed in 1886. The "Give me your tired" slogan wasn't added until 1903. Those words were part of a poem written by Emma Lazarus, a Jew whose family fled Eastern Europe to escape religious persecution. Her words were never meant to be an invitation for hordes of illegal aliens to invade America for all the free stuff, the supply of which, after 10 million invaders, has been exhausted... as has the patience of most American voters with...

Joe Biden.
