Why the Woke, Anti-Borders Left is So Angry

As President Donald Trump implements his immigration agenda, proponents of lawless border policies are finding it tough to mount a coherent opposition.
Last year, the anti-borders activists saw their movement firmly rejected by the American public as Trump was overwhelmingly re-elected on a promise to restore American sovereignty, law, and order. Since the president’s inauguration, he has done exactly what the American people awarded him a mandate to do, driving illegal border crossings to historic lows and effectively ending the border crisis which has plagued this nation for the past four years. Anti-borders activists remained largely mum on the administration’s successful efforts to secure the border, perhaps understanding that advocating for more illegal crossings would be an untenable political position.
Last year, activists and politicians touted a border bill as the panacea for the illegal immigration crisis, blaming then-candidate Trump for scuttling the bill, and by extension continuing of the crisis. Then, in his first two months in office, without nary a single additional piece of border security legislation, Trump ended the border crisis, exposing the cynicism and fecklessness of those who had sworn a new act of Congress was needed.
