Can Democrats Find Their Way on Immigration?
July 6, 2025 at 6:20 am EDT By Taegan Goddard 133 Comments

“The Democrats onstage saw themselves as morally courageous. American voters, it turned out, saw a group of politicians hopelessly out of touch,” the New York Times reports.

“Standing side by side at a primary debate in June 2019, nine of the party’s candidates for president were asked to raise their hand if they wanted to decriminalize illegal border crossings. Only one of them held still.”

“Six years later, the party remains haunted by that tableau. It stands both as a vivid demonstration of a leftward policy shift on immigration that many prominent Democratic lawmakers and strategists now say they deeply regret, and as a marker of how sharply the country was moving in the other direction.”

Not when even after decades of dumbing down the 'plantation populations' they are losing those demographics (partly, at least from embracing groups who provoke reactions like "Awww, Hell no!") so they feel the need to import millions who don't even understand the language, just to try to maintain a 'plantation voting base' they might be able to win with, and to skew Congressional Proportionality via inflated census figures in targeted markets.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
