This is the last in my series on βThree Reasons the Left Wants Open Borders.β Iβve covered ideology and electoral politics; now, letβs turn to extortion.
By turning on the taps of illegal immigration, open-borders proponents hope to create bargaining chips to negotiate amnesties and increased immigration flows. Since he took office, Joe Biden has paroled a million and a half inadmissible aliens under bogus premises, caught and quickly released into the U.S. the better part of 7 million more, and allowed at least 1.8 million more to evade Border Patrolβthe βgotaways.β
As Jason Riley wrote in The Wall Street Journal last year, βThe White House knows that an overwhelming majority of the people coming arenβt fleeing persecution but are economic migrants gaming our asylum laws. They know that there will be no serious effort to deport people whose claims are denied.β
Nonetheless, the roughly 10 million inadmissible foreign nationals who the White House calls βnewcomersβ will be new leverage to push immigration βreform,β which means massive amnesties and new βpathwaysβ into the U.S. outside and on top of the legal immigration system authorized and numerically limited by Congress. Bidenβs threat is to leave the taps wide open.
Under this pressure, wavering conservatives might concede to ineffective or even counterproductive legislation like Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumerβs, D-N.Y., bill that claimed to be a solution but did nothing to reduce the illegal flow. Fortunately, it failed on Thursday.
It was a trapβHouse Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., correctly stated that the bill βwould actually codify many of the disastrous Biden open-border policies that created this crisis in the first place,β making it difficult for a future conservative president to reverse. Β
βOnce bitten, twice shyβ sums up why conservatives arenβt going to fall easily for this round of extortion. The relevant lesson is the 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act. The deal was that about 3 million illegal aliens would be amnestied, but that the government would work to stop the flow of illegal immigrants and keep another amnesty from happening again. To achieve this, employers would have to confirm the legal status of people before hiring them or face penalties.
The first part of the bargain (the amnesty) happened, but the second part did not in any comprehensive manner. Almost 40 years later, the number of illegal aliens present in the country is perhaps five times as great as in 1986.
Until recently, Democrats believed in enforcing immigration laws, even if they might want them eased. Listen to President Bill Clinton talking here in 1995. He endorsed the conclusions of the bipartisan Commission on Immigration Reform chaired at the time by Texas Democratic Rep. Barbara Jordan, which in its final 1997 report urged βimmediate reforms to ensure that aliens with final orders of deportation, exclusion, or removal are indeed removed from the United States.β
Today, there are over 1.2 million such aliens with final orders, including 400,000 convicted criminals, and the Biden administration plans to remove barely 30,000.
Clinton also proudly stated that his administration had βmoved aggressively,β hiring more Border Patrol, deporting βtwice as many criminal aliens as ever before,β βcracking down on illegal hiring,β and βbarring welfare benefits to illegal aliens.β
Today, no elected Democrat would even dare call an alien present in the U.S. illegally an βillegal alien.β In fact, Immigration and Customs Enforcement is required to use the nonsensical term βundocumented noncitizens,β and Biden apologized recently for calling Laken Rileyβs accused alien murderer βillegal.β
In 2024, after three years of mass release, mass parole, and lax enforcement, βDemocrats appear to be panicking about this fallβs election, to the point that they are feigning doing something about the invasion at our southern border,β as Teresa Mull put it in the Spectator. Their strategy is to try and convince the American people that the real obstacle to securing the border is unreasonable Republicans. To sell this message would be to pull a giant rabbit out of a very small hat, as the open border is the clear work of the president and his hand-picked secretary of homeland security, Alejandro Mayorkas.
Schumer brought up the supposedly βbipartisanβ Senate border bill for another vote Thursday, but it failed again, with even less support than in February. Biden may claim that he had βproposed and negotiated and agreed to the strongest border security bill this country has ever, ever, ever seen,β but senators who read it no doubt quickly reached the same conclusion as Johnson did in a few hours. The bill would have turned Bidenβs welcome mat policies from overreaching executive whim into hardlaw. The Schumer bill was electioneering in the guise of legislating.
Last week, Sen. Chris Murphy, D-N.J., claimed the bill βgives the president new tools to better manage the border.β In fact, Biden has had the tools, including under Section 212(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, since January 2021.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre unwittingly admitted this week that Biden could βunilaterallyβ limit how many illegal aliens are allowed to enter the country. Biden has also considered ordering expedited processing for newly caught illegals rather than just releasing them. Inaction on the border is the presidentβs choice.
In a May 19 letter to fellow senators, Schumer wrote βthe American people β¦ want bipartisan action to secure our border.β Indeed, a May 21 nationwide poll by the University of South Florida found that 77% wanted more Border Patrol agents at the southern border, and 60% actually supported βincreasing physical barriers.β In a March poll, The Wall Street Journal reported that βat least 72% of respondents in each of the [seven swing] states saying the countryβs immigration policy and border security were headed in the wrong direction.β Schumer somehow discovered this six months before the national elections.
Jean-Pierre has echoed her boss many times over the past three years in claiming that the border was βnot openββeven as it leaked 10,000 or more illegal aliens a day. On May 20, she told senators to set βpartisan politics aside and vote to secure the border.β But even Sen. James Lankford, R-Okla., opposes using the bill he drafted for purely political messaging, and Johnson has called it βdead on arrivalβ if it were to pass the Senate.
βBipartisanβ should mean just that, like the Jordan Commission report, not a one-party position enforced through the extortionary means of doubling the illegal alien population via mass release, parole, and negligence.

A new study has revealed that roughly 10% to 27% of noncitizens living in the U.S. are illicitly registered to vote, which could result in up to 2.7 million illegal votes being cast in the November elections.
Experts say the significant amount of potential illegal votes could be enough to alter election results.
TheΒ study, released last week by the research institute Just Facts, notes that the 2022 U.S. census recorded approximately 19 million adult noncitizens living in the country. βGiven their voter registration rates, this means that about 2 million to 5 million of them are illegally registered to vote,β the report observes. βThese figures are potentially high enough to overturn the will of the American people in major elections, including congressional seats and the presidency.β
On Tuesday, James Agresti, president of Just Facts,Β joinedΒ βWashington Watchβ to discuss the scope of noncitizens casting ballots and the implications of the studyβs findings.
β[T]here are very broad openings for noncitizens to vote,β he explained, adding:
In no state in the nation are they required to provide proof of U.S. citizenship in order to register to vote. Now, a couple of states like Arizona tried to enact that requirement, but they were blocked by a court ruling supported by the Obama administration.
And if you look at the federal voter-registration form, it says you can submit all different forms of ID to register. That could be a Social Security number; it could be a driverβs license number; or it could just be a utility bill.
I mean, these are things that anyone can get by living here. They do not prove youβre a U.S. citizen.
And more than that, a lot of noncitizens have faked Social Security numbers, especially illegal immigrants. Thatβs what they do to work. A recent estimate by the Social Security Administration tallied 2.5 million noncitizens who had Social Security numbers gained by using fake birth certificates or stealing those numbers from somebody else.
Hans von Spakovsky, a senior legal fellow at The Heritage Foundation and board member of the Public Interest Legal Foundation, concurred. (Heritage founded The Daily Signal in 2014.)
β[T]he problem is, states arenβt doing very much to verify citizenship, so itβs extremely easy for someone whoβs not a citizen to register to vote and to vote in elections,β heΒ remarkedΒ during Mondayβs edition of βWashington Watch.β
βAnd when that is discovered, oftentimes nothing is done about it.β
Agresti went on to point out the effect that lax enforcement of citizen verification could have in November. β[B]ased on the latest available data, approximately 1 million to 2.7 million noncitizens are going to vote in the upcoming presidential election unless something changes. And that is more than enough to tip the results of congressional races, Senate races, and yes, the U.S. presidency.β
Von Spakovsky echoed Agrestiβs concerns. β[I]t doesnβt matter whether theyβre black or white, Asian or Hispanic. It doesnβt matter which political party they support. Every time an alien illegally votes, that alien is voiding, negating the vote of a citizen, no matter which political party they support,β he contended. βAnd the Democrats just donβt seem to want to understand that or to basically ignore it.β
Agresti further reflected on the motivations behind the Democratsβ opposition to efforts to improve election integrity.
β[I]tβs always hard to read peopleβs minds, but I can tell you this: The vast bulk of these noncitizens are voting for Democrats. According to the best data we have, about 80% of them will vote for Democrats when they vote illegally. And Democrats are fighting tooth and nail to prevent any kind of checking of peopleβs citizenship. It does benefit them. Is that their reasoning? Itβs an obvious incentive, but I canβt read their minds.β
Earlier this month, House Republicans attempted to address the issue byΒ introducing a billΒ that would require proof of citizenship to register to vote and would remove noncitizens from existing voter rolls. But Agresti expressed doubt about the billβs chances of passage. βMy guess is it will move in the House and die in the Senate, but thatβs just an educated guess. And again, even if somehow it got through the Senate, thereβs no way [President] Joe Bidenβs signing that bill.β
βHowever,β he added, βI do think in the aftermath of the election, and we hate to have a repeat of 2020, that there should be some accountability, some lawsuits that demand proof that people are who they say they are in tight races. None of that was secured in the last round of election lawsuits, and it needs to be there.β
Agresti concluded by urging candidates involved in tight elections to demand verification that only citizens voted. βA candidate has to make a plea and say, βHey, I want this data to prove that these people who are registered and voted actually are citizens.ββ

The bipartisan border bill failed in the U.S. Senate Thursday, even losing the support of two key negotiators who helped craft the legislation. This marked the second time the Senate voted against moving forward with the bill.
The vote on the border bill βis not an effort to actually make law, it is an effort to do political messaging,β Sen. James Lankford, R-Okla., said Thursday ahead of the vote. Lankford worked to negotiate the bill with Sens. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., and Kyrsten Sinema, I-Ariz., but he and Sinema voted against the bill Thursday, criticizing the reintroduction of the bill as being politically motivated. Β
The bill, which needed 60 votes to pass, failed with 50 senators voting against it and 43 voting in favor.
The vote broke largely along party lines with Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska being the only Republican to vote for the bill. Six Democrats joined Republicans in voting against the bill.
During the first vote in February, Lankford voted in favor of advancing the border bill, along with Murkowski, Susan Collins of Maine, and Mitt Romney of Utah.Β
Analysts expected the latest vote on the bill to fail following Republicansβ outspoken criticism of the measure. Β
The bill βspends $20 billion to not secure the border, but to more efficiently encounter, process, and disperse illegal migrants,β Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., said during a news conference Wednesday. Β
Johnson and other GOP senators bashed the bill for allowing up to 5,000 illegal aliens to enter daily in a seven-day period. Β
The bill directs the Department of Homeland Security to close the southern border βduring a period of seven consecutive calendar days, [if] there is an average of 5,000 or more aliens who are encountered each day.β
Over 1.8 million illegal aliens a year still would be permitted to enter the United States under the now twice failed legislation. Β
Republicans bashed the bill as an election year stunt. Β
Sen. Cynthia Lummis, R-Wyo., saidΒ Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and the Democrats are promoting the bill because βpoll numbers are showing [Democrats]Β that, after months and months of throwing the border open to anyone who wants to come in, that the public doesnβt like the policy.βΒ Β
Gallup reports that immigration is the No. 1 issue not specifically related to the economy on the minds of American voters right now. Β Β
βAnd now, all of a sudden, six months before an election, Chuck Schumer and the Democrats have got religion on border security,β Sen. J.D. Vance, R-Ohio., said ahead of the vote. Β Β
Under the Biden administration, Customs and Border Protection has encountered over 9.5 million illegal aliens on Americaβs border and at ports of entry. With five months remaining in fiscal year 2024, CBP encounters of illegal immigrants under President Joe Bidenβs leadership are expected to far surpass 10 million before the start of the new fiscal year. Β
An additional nearly 1.8 million illegal aliens have crossed the border managing to evade Border Patrol. Authorities refer to them as βknown gotaways.β It is impossible to know how many unknown gotaways have entered the country in recent years.Β
Senate Republicans continue to advocate for the passage of the border security bill known as H.R. 2, which the House passed in May 2023. If passed into law, H.R. 2 would end βcatch and release,β restart construction of the border wall, and reinstate the Trump-era βRemain in Mexicoβ policy, among other things.Β
βThe Democrats donβt want border security,β Sen Ted Cruz, R-Texas, said in a statement. βEvery single Democrat in the Senate supports these open borders. And I can say that because every single time we push to implement real border security to stop this invasionβto stop Joe Biden from releasing criminal illegal aliens that are threatening our familiesβevery single Democrat votes no.β
On Tuesday night, Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., and Cruz, spoke on the Senate floor and called for the Senate to pass H.R. 2 by unanimous consent. Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin, D-Ill., reserved the right to object and blocked the bill. Β Β
